Chapter 449: *The Battle at Lake Changjin* Premiere

"Alright! I know."

"Director Che, you're wrapped up so tightly, where are you going to steal sweet potatoes?"

Lin Yu looked at the general director of *Masked Singer*, Che Ze, who was wrapped up tightly in the office, and shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Sigh! Don't mention it! Although I'm not some big star, there will definitely be media reporters concerned about my movements to judge who the program team is inviting as guests."

As Che Ze spoke, he pulled on his mask and put on his hat and sunglasses properly.

At this moment, one couldn't even tell who was the director and who was the artist.

Che Ze originally didn't need to come to Lin Yu's company this time.

It was just that with the recent popularity of *Peach*, the *Masked Singer* program team was a bit worried about whether Lin Yu would raise his price on the spot.

Of course, this is reasonable in the domestic entertainment industry; as their status rises, many artists will temporarily increase their appearance fees.

Regarding this point,

Lin Yu was very dismissive.

If one only looks at immediate petty gains and does not pay attention to contract effects,

then even if the fame is great and the traffic is high, one won't go far.

So he directly stated his intention not to increase the appearance fee. This also allowed the stone hanging in Director Che's heart to finally be put down.

"By the way, the flying observer we invited this time is Li Li Zhien from the ROK."

Director Che lifted his mask and sipped his tea.

"Mm, we've met before."

Lin Yu recalled the scene of seeing Li Li Zhien on the flight earlier.

Her angelic face lingered in his mind.

"Did you tell her you were a singer?"

Che Ze was a bit nervous; he didn't want all the effort spent on confidentiality work to be in vain.

In the end, even a foreign artist would know the truth. The program's effect would be greatly discounted at that time.

"Of course not! I didn't chat with Miss Li Li Zhien about *Masked Singer*."

Lin Yu answered truthfully.

"Good, then you get busy, I'm going back."

"This semi-final will use a live broadcast format. We'll arrange for someone to pick you up on Friday night. Rehearsals will be at 5 PM on Saturday, and the official performance is at 8 PM."

After Director Che finished speaking, he picked up his file bag.

He said goodbye to Lin Yu in a hurry.

The level of artists invited to the previous *Masked Singer* wasn't very high.

Although they were somewhat famous in the industry, they didn't stir up any waves.

Especially after seeing the *Great Escape* that Lin Yu participated in, which had a double harvest of reputation and viewership, the director team of *Masked Singer* was extremely jealous.

"Alright, Director Che, take care."

Lin Yu had just sent Director Che out of the company.

A voice message came through on his phone.

"Brother Jing, how do you have the time to call me?"

Seeing that the caller ID was Wu Jing, Lin Yu was in a great mood. Whether on the set or at the film festival, Lin Yu and Wu Jing's relationship was very good, and they were very close.

As a senior in the industry, Wu Jing not only taught Lin Yu many unspoken rules of interpersonal communication but also thoughtfully explained camera movement and positioning to Lin Yu, imparting a lot of experiential advice, which benefited Lin Yu greatly.

"Little Yu! You're in Beijing, right!"

"Tonight is the premiere of our *The Battle at Lake Changjin*. If you have time, come over."

Wu Jing was clearly very busy on the other end of the phone, and the background noise was quite loud.

It looked like he was at a drinking party.

"No problem, Brother Jing."

"Give me an address and time."

"I'll be there on time this afternoon."

Although he wasn't the male lead of *The Battle at Lake Changjin*, Lin Yu had quite a few scenes in it.

As a main creator, it was only right to go to the premiere to show support.

[Zhang Chaoyang District, Wanda Plaza, 8 PM]

Soon, Wu Jing sent Lin Yu the address and time.

After all, this was Lin Yu's first time attending a premiere.

He was still a bit nervous and expectant inside.

So he picked out a crisp suit early and drove to Zhang Chaoyang District.

To avoid being stuck halfway due to the crowds on the weekend.

Lin Yu had been to the cinema many times.

But his mood this time was completely different.

In the lounge.

Lin Yu arrived half an hour early.

After a round of pleasantries, the *The Battle at Lake Changjin* male group led by directors Xu Ke and Chen Chen Sicheng was already in place.

They changed into casual clothes and entered the venue just like fans who had bought tickets.

They scattered to various seating positions.

When Ping He, the sharpshooter played by Lin Yu, first appeared, bursts of laughter erupted throughout the cinema.

"Hahahaha! Lin Yu is really in it!"

"What do I do? I feel like laughing inexplicably as soon as I see Lin Yu."

"Aren't all the people in this film powerful actors? How did a variety show star get mixed in? It must have been arranged by the agency behind Lin Yu."

"A perfectly good film, ruined! Although I like Lin Yu, isn't this equivalent to a single rat dropping ruining a whole pot of soup?"

"I suddenly feel like I don't want to watch it anymore."

"......"

Listening to the conversation of the strangers around him,

Lin Yu said nothing and just smiled it off.

This also made Xu Ke, Chen Chen Sicheng, and Wu Jing give him a thumbs up in secret.

Everyone had walked down this road before.

Everyone had experienced the stage of being criticized and mocked.

But facing such harsh voices around him,

there really weren't many who could be as calm and composed as Lin Yu.

However, when the plot unfolded and Ping He, played by Lin Yu, picked up the sniper rifle for the first time in the film, all the audience members were dumbfounded.

Especially a few soldiers who had served in the military region, their eyes widened directly, and they were stunned into silence.
