Xiao He unexpectedly gained a criminal cheat skill that allows him to learn all kinds of crime-related abilities.
—But the catch is, he has to keep “stabbing people” to stay alive.
<..."Heh, don't worry about it, our company won't work with Chinese actors."
Manager El gave a disdainful smirk.
Thinking about Shield Screen Pictures' international focus over the years, An Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled ingratiatingly at Manager El.
Han Zaiyu also visibly relaxed.
...
With the festival activities in Glass over, Xiao He's filming on the set of "The Phantom Thieves 2" went very smoothly.
As a shady character and behind-the-scenes mastermind, the white-haired hacker's role in the story is actually quite small.
The final highlight of the plot is that after the white-haired hacker successfully obtained the "Black Mary" perfume formula from Lu Xiaokong, he actually managed to recreate the perfume in just two days and fooled his employer.
Of course, it turned out that the employers never wanted "Black Mary" in the first place, and the entire employment deal was a setup from the beginning. However, this key plot point of replacing the real thing with a fake still gave the hacker an opportunity to showcase his superb counterfeiting skills, and he once again successfully proved himself to be the world's third-best thief.
In the end, Lu Xiaokong deduced that since the hacker was able to replicate the "Black Mary" perfume and pass the employer's test, the "Black Mary" that never appeared from beginning to end must really exist, but it had already been replaced and stolen by the hacker. This time, they were not only set up by the employer, but the employer was also tricked by the hacker.
And that was indeed the case. The hacker not only swapped out the genuine product, but also sold the formula to his employer's rival, who then mass-produced a large batch and made a fortune from it.
But none of this has anything to do with Lu Xiaokong anymore.
Because Lu Xiaokong tricked the hacker before leaving, taking Shi Ji with him and making a dashing escape by plane with all the hacker's cash and electronic devices.
The hacker was relentlessly hunted down by the gangsters hired by his employer, cursing Lu Xiaokong and Shi Ji as he ran.
Thus, the feud was rekindled.
After this long stretch of storyline ends, Xiao He's scenes will be almost finished being filmed.
Actually, it was Director Zhuang who took care of Xiao He. Knowing that Xiao He would be flying to the set of "Ford v Ferrari 7" next door, he tried to concentrate the filming as much as possible, completing all of Xiao He's storylines first, and then filming the others.
However, this efficiency is indeed quite high—
The official start date for "Ford v Ferrari 7" was early April, while "The Thieves 2" had already finished filming in mid-March. This meant that Xiao He suddenly had a break of about half a month.
Liu Rulan originally planned to arrange for Xiao He to return to China, but Ou De'en, with his keen sense of smell, came running as soon as he heard that Xiao He was free. He rushed to the film set to invite Xiao He to participate in the racing competition at the end of the month.
Accompanying O'Dean was the young nobleman who had previously tried to recruit Xiao He into his own caravan to fulfill his own dream.
As soon as the young master arrived, he started throwing money around without saying a word.
Before Xiao He could even express his opinion, he was already stunned by the money.
Upon seeing the money, Liu Rulan also chose to remain silent.
Great, let's get going!
So Xiao He decisively abandoned his job and followed Ou De'en to Canada to win a championship, finally making up for the young master's regret of not winning the championship last time.
Before he could even warm up the championship trophy, Xiao He was stunned by the new news brought by Liu Rulan.
"Get ready, 'No Bait' has been selected for Cannes."
On the phone, Liu Rulan's tone revealed an undisguised excitement.
Xiao He was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Liu Rulan urged him immediately: "Quickly, go back to the country right away!"
