Chapter 899: Golden Legend!
The atmosphere in the Major Crimes Unit's office was unusually tense this afternoon.
The recent internal rumors about "that matter" have seriously affected everyone's mood.
But no one dared to show it; they could only continue to work in silence.
The police officers in the office were typing on their keyboards, their fingers occasionally sliding across the mouse, making various office noises. The person next to them was flipping through a pile of case files, looking troubled as they whispered something to their team leader.
Only the middle-aged police officer sitting in his office chair seemed relatively relaxed, his gaze lazily fixed on the documents in front of him, the pen in his hand occasionally wobbling.
And so at that moment, the steady, cold footsteps became exceptionally clear.
"Da, da, da."
For some reason, the middle-aged police officer seemed to sense something and was the first to raise his gaze to the source of the sound—
The next moment, the main door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a tall, unfamiliar man slowly walked into the room, breaking the relatively harmonious peace.
It also seemed to foreshadow an impending storm of internal purges.
The newcomer was dressed in a neat police uniform, with sharp and deep features, but his expression was completely calm. Apart from indifference, no other emotions could be discerned. The chilling aura emanating from him made the air in the entire office area suddenly freeze, and the originally noisy hall instantly fell silent.
Everyone instinctively looked up and their gazes fell on the man who clearly had ill intentions.
The middle-aged police officer slowly put down his pen, his narrow, fox-like eyes slightly narrowed, his face expressionless, only his tense body betraying a trace of emotion.
In this silent atmosphere, perhaps only the man who caused all this could calmly raise his hand to reach into his pocket, then pull out a black ID card from his inner breast pocket and display it publicly before everyone: "Wei Dong, head of the special investigation team of the Internal Investigation Division of the Police Department. From now on, all of you here are to suspend your work and remain on standby."
"All relevant case files, communication records, and operation logs from the Major Crimes Unit over the past five years will be immediately sealed and await further investigation. Everyone is required to cooperate unconditionally with all our investigations, report truthfully, and refrain from concealing anything, making excuses, or exchanging information privately."
With each word he spoke, the man's gaze swept over everyone present with a cold, sharp, and penetrating intensity, as if he were scrutinizing the selfishness and flaws of each person in the room.
Every officer whose gaze swept over him felt a chill run down their spine and instinctively sat up straight.
Under such a powerful and oppressive aura from the other side, no one dared to speak at this moment.
Some officers, however, shifted their attention to their boss, the head of the serious crimes unit, trying to get further instructions.
The middle-aged police officer with narrowed eyes, who was being watched by them, simply shook his head slightly.
Then Wei Dong's gaze indeed turned to the other party: "Officer Liu, please forgive me for not notifying you beforehand. Do you have any questions now?"
The middle-aged police officer looked at the head of the investigation team in front of him, still with a gentle smile on his face, and replied very humbly, "Our Major Crimes Unit will naturally accept your investigation."
"very good."
The man raised his chin slightly in satisfaction.
Then, another group of internal investigation team members came in behind him and began to move everything in the room.
The room immediately descended into chaos!
Across this chaos, their gazes met briefly in the air before parting again, each seemingly carrying its own purpose.
...
After officially joining the crew, Xiao He immediately began his busy work on set.
Because he was a last-minute replacement, all of Wei Dong's scenes had to be reshot, so Xiao He basically had no time to socialize with the other crew members.
Most of the actors in the "Black Thrush" crew had already gotten to know each other during the previous filming. They looked at Xiao He as if he were a new transfer student in their class. Although they had heard of his name before, they were too embarrassed to talk to him because he was so famous. So everyone was in a very polite and subtle harmonious state.
Fortunately, Xiao He's acting skills were as good as his reputation. In Wei Dong's first scene, everyone didn't need to go through the process several times; Xiao He completed it smoothly in one take.
The biggest highlight of this scene is Wei Dong's first appearance and his first confrontation with the mole.
This is a big event with many extras and supporting actors. Fortunately, these actors have already gone through the rehearsal process, so we can save time on this part. Only Xiao He, the new actor, needs to be prepared in advance.
Actually, Xiao He didn't have the home advantage this time. All the actors he faced were veteran actors familiar to the Hong Kong entertainment circle. He had to be able to suppress everyone on set as soon as the character "Wei Dong" appeared. The psychological pressure must have been enormous.
If he can't impress these veteran actors, then Wei Dong's persona won't hold up, and Xiao He's reputation as a movie star will be undeserved.
Therefore, many people are paying attention to the situation here, both openly and secretly.
However, Xiao He, who was under the most pressure, only needed to watch the previous footage once and listen to Director Gao's explanation of the camera movement to immediately understand the shooting situation. When the actual shooting began, he completed the scene in one take.
There wasn't even any extra rehearsal or pre-show stuff going on.
This truly surprised many people.
That's normal, though, since the two circles don't share information. If it were some actors in the Chinese entertainment industry, they would have heard that Xiao He could often get a scene right in one take. If it weren't for the film crew's shooting schedule, Xiao He could almost single-handedly get the filming wrapped up long before the deadline.
Therefore, if Xiao He has the most scenes on the day of rehearsal, then that day is an extra day off for many people in the crew, because with Xiao He there, everyone can finish get off work and leave early.
Yes, it's that enjoyable.
And now, these actors in Hong Kong entertainment are experiencing it firsthand.
What's most terrifying is that Xiao He's work efficiency is really high. Almost as soon as he finishes one scene, he can immediately adjust his state and start preparing for the next scene.
This proactive and intense work ethic completely shattered their stereotypes about young actors in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Even Du Yuebin, who had been quietly observing Xiao He from the sidelines, was quite surprised and asked his old friend Zhang Zhelin, "Have young actors in the Chinese entertainment industry become this hardworking now?"
Zhang Zhelin also looked astonished and shook his head slightly: "I've never seen anything like this before."
Zhang Zhelin and Du Yuebin have both been famous for decades, witnessing the glory of Hong Kong entertainment, and also going international and developing overseas. In the end, they naturally watched the decline of their generation of superstars and saw the mainland develop better and better.
Zhang Zhelin is arguably the person who has collaborated with mainland Chinese actors the most times.
Unfortunately, to be honest, my impression wasn't very good.
At that time, it even sparked various comments from veteran actors criticizing young idols.
Although Zhang Zhelin never publicly complains about these things, he will chat with Du Yuebin for a while, and like many older people, they will drink and reminisce about the past.
Later, Hong Kong entertainment industry did decline, and there were far fewer actors to work with them. Zhang Zhelin hasn't had any contact with current mainland Chinese actors for quite some time.
Unexpectedly, after a long absence, a golden legend has finally emerged in the industry.
