Hua'an Film and Television City.
It occupies a huge area.
When Guan Feng and the others got out of the car, they saw a continuous cluster of buildings.
Guan Feng glanced around and happened to see a Shaxian snack shop on the side of the road near the film and television city.
Guan Feng said, "This restaurant is quite crowded, Captain Liu, how about we go there?"
Liu Keming laughed and said, "There's no need to be so particular about meals when we're on a case. Let's go to this restaurant."
The three of them entered the shop.
Huang Lili asked the restaurant for three set meals and also ordered three servings of bone broth.
Guan Feng then sat down with Liu Keming.
......
As soon as I sat down, I heard several people around me talking.
"Have you heard? Someone died on the set of 'Nirvana in Fire' a couple of days ago."
"Hey! If you don't know, can you not talk nonsense? That was Li Ge who was shot with an arrow. He was about to die, but Li Ge is rich and brought in the best cardiologist from Shanghai. He managed to save him from the brink of death."
"Wait a minute, I heard he's already dead? Why is the production crew keeping it a secret?"
"Nonsense! The person isn't dead, and Li Ge isn't injured either. It was the stunt double who was injured!"
Several people who were clearly extras were chattering away.
Guan Feng listened to their discussion, exchanged a glance with Liu Keming, then patted the guy who was spitting as he spoke and asked, "Li Ge got injured while filming? What happened?"
The guy was talking enthusiastically when he was suddenly patted on the shoulder. He turned around and looked at Guan Feng, about to speak, but then he felt that Guan Feng had the air of a leading man and couldn't help but ask, "Hey? Which production team are you in? I've never seen you before."
Guan Feng said, "I just arrived."
The older man said, "No wonder. You're so handsome, you must be a big shot. I should know you."
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "What's this about being a big shot? I just came from my hometown. I heard people say that making movies is lucrative, so I came here to try my luck. I haven't tried anything yet."
The older brother stared at Guan Feng for a moment and said, "With your looks, you're sure to be successful in the future. How about I introduce you to our crew? Our crew is huge, and this period drama is a big production. And let me tell you a secret, our female director has a thing for men, and she likes tall, strong, and muscular guys like you!"
Guan Feng looked at his older brother and asked with a smile, "Hey bro, you seem to have a lot of inside information, huh?"
The older brother said, "Of course! My nickname at Hua'an Film and Television City is 'Know-it-all.' Ask them, what don't I know?"
Guan Feng asked, "Really? I heard Li Ge was injured? You knew about this too?"
Upon hearing this, the older brother put down his chopsticks and said with a proud look, "You might not know this if you ask others, but if you ask me, you'll know for sure. Don't listen to people saying that Li Ge is injured, that's all fake. The one who is really injured is a stand-in, and he's said to be lying in the ICU right now."
Guan Feng asked in surprise, "A stand-in? What's going on?"
The older brother said, "What a coincidence! That scene was originally supposed to be filmed by Li Ge, but at the last minute, Li Ge accidentally fell off his horse and was injured. So a stunt double took over and filmed it instead. Unexpectedly, he escaped unharmed. It's really a pity."
Guan Feng asked, "Coincidence or accident?"
The older man glanced at Guan Feng and asked, "Why are you asking so many questions? Are you a cop?"
Guan Feng, both amused and exasperated, said, "Brother, do I look like a cop to you?"
The older brother glanced at Guan Feng and shook his head, saying, "No way! With your looks and physique, you're born to be an actor!"
Guan Feng laughed and said, "That's right. I just came out, haven't I? I haven't heard such exciting news. I want to see the world. Besides, it's fate that I met you, brother. I thought I'd chat with you for a while. Come on, brother, let me toast you with tea instead of wine."
The older brother smiled and clinked glasses with Guan Feng, then patted Guan Feng on the shoulder in a familiar manner and said, "Okay, you don't treat me like an outsider, and I treat you like a cousin too. You've come to the right person to ask me about this. No one else knows this information except me. Let me tell you all about it."
Guan Feng asked with interest, "I knew you weren't an ordinary person, brother. Tell me more!"
The older brother glanced around, still a little uneasy, so he simply took his plate to Guan Feng's table and said to Liu Keming, "Him, your uncle? He can't even be a lead actor, let alone an extra. At most, he can be a background character. But to be honest, you don't look like a police officer. If he were to play a police officer, he would be quite convincing."
Guan Feng smiled and said, "Really? Then I'll recommend someone to me tomorrow and see if I can play a police officer or something."
The older man shook his head and said, "It's not that easy. There aren't many crime dramas these days. You should find something else to do instead."
Liu Keming grinned, unsure what to say, and carried his tray to a seat against the wall.
The older brother lowered his voice and said, "Alright, I'm telling you something, but don't tell anyone. It's top secret. I heard that Li Ge lost a betting agreement and is trying to commit insurance fraud."
"Insurance fraud?"
Guan Feng said, "Is that so?"
The older brother said, "Hey! There are plenty of cases like this. Didn't Li Ge set up a film and television company a couple of years ago? He signed a contract with the investors, with a performance-based agreement. As a result, two of his movies and one TV series flopped in the past two years, so he thought of taking a risk."
Guan Feng frowned and asked, "That's not right, brother. According to what you're saying, if he wanted to commit insurance fraud, why did he need a body double? Could it be that he not only bought insurance for himself, but also for his body double?"
The older man paused for a moment upon hearing the question, then said, "Hey? That's a good question. Yeah, why the change of body double? It doesn't make sense."
Pfft!
Huang Lili couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The older man also felt a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and said, "Wait a minute, let me sort this out."
