Chapter 1120: Chapter 426: Belgian Grand Prix (6K, Extra Update 5/17)
What, a cameo in The Wandering Earth? The opening of a CSGO match?
Those aren’t Qin Miao’s jobs, they’re hobbies, just like Qin Miao enjoys playing CSGO.
For ordinary players, CSGO is just a form of entertainment and relaxation, but for professional CSGO players, it’s a job.
Racing is the same.
The same theory can be applied to Qin Miao and the movie, only you need to reverse it.
When you don’t do something regularly, or you’re doing something for the first time, it’s a novel experience for you. No matter how tiring it is, you’ll find it interesting.
That’s the state Qin Miao is in now.
So, after finishing his work, on the fourth day, Qin Miao applied for a direct flight to Qingdao and flew straight over.
When Qin Miao landed, it was only ten in the morning.
Guo Fan had already started working, so he didn’t have time to pick up Qin Miao. However, the person who came to pick up Qin Miao surprised him.
Wu Jing.
Perhaps he doesn’t remember Qin Miao, but Qin Miao remembers him.
Today was not the first time Qin Miao met Wu Jing.
Qin Miao remembers, before he joined F2, he and Qimeng met Wu Jing at the airport.
But back then, in Wu Jing’s eyes, Qin Miao and Qimeng were just passerby roles, probably not memorable.
To Qin Miao’s surprise, Wu Jing greeted him when he met Qin Miao and was silent for a moment as he looked at him.
"Is something wrong?" Qin Miao asked, puzzled.
Wu Jing frowned and asked, "Qin Miao, have we met somewhere before?"
Qin Miao raised his eyebrows.
"I feel your face is very familiar, not like the kind that’s often seen on TV, but someone I’ve met in real life and left quite an impression," Wu Jing said, frowning.
"You actually remember!" Qin Miao exclaimed in surprise.
Now, it was Wu Jing’s turn to be surprised: "What? We really met?"
Qin Miao nodded: "We did meet, back when I hadn’t joined F2 and wasn’t famous.
I think it was at Hongqiao Airport, you were recognized after leaving the airport and were shaking hands with people on the roadside. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
My partner and I went to join the fun, but when you were about to shake her hand, I intercepted it."
"Oh! I remember now, it was you!" Wu Jing’s face filled with sudden realization.
Then, his face was more filled with a sense of how things have changed over time.
Looking at the confident young man in front of him, embodying the phrase "young and fearless" to the fullest, Wu Jing shook his head and said, "Back then, you seemed like just a regular college student. Who would have thought, in just a few years, you’d become an F1 world champion."
"Maybe it’s fate, who can say?" Qin Miao shrugged: "And as a fan of The Wandering Earth, I never thought the door that was just opened for Chinese sci-fi would be closed again by Shanghai Cannon."
"Shanghai Cannon? ...Alright..." Wu Jing was stunned for a while before he figured out what Qin Miao meant by Shanghai Cannon.
He then chuckled and shook his head, saying, "This time, you might feel like the door to domestic sci-fi is being kicked wide open, the door kicked right off."
"I’m looking forward to it."
They got into the car Wu Jing drove over, and the two headed to the filming base Guo Fan set up in Qingdao.
Once Qin Miao arrived, he was immediately surrounded by onlookers.
Logically, in a place like a filming crew, it’s common for staff to see celebrities and they’re all used to it.
But the difference is, Qin Miao isn’t technically a celebrity, but a sportsperson.
Just quite famous.
So even the crew staff who are usually unfazed by big names were quite curious when they saw Qin Miao.
Dealing with the staff who were a bit excited to see him, Qin Miao left and took a stroll around the photography base led by a staff member assigned specifically to him.
Qin Miao initially thought that many domestic sci-fi movies might use green screens often, but when he arrived at this film base, he found many things were set up as real scenes, including rows of door frames, exoskeleton equipment, and white UEG-painted trucks.
The key point was that Qin Miao found these things could move.
Honestly, seeing so much real equipment made Qin Miao truly feel Guo Fan and his team were doing real work.
Because all sorts of amazing-looking, futuristic armored vehicles, engineering vehicles, and equipment were laid out before you, and all the staff here were seriously immersed in their work.
With eyes full of passion for their current work.
Regardless, Qin Miao felt his thirty million investment wouldn’t be wasted, at least he wouldn’t mind if it was lost.
Soon, Qin Miao entered the photography base, met with the frantically busy Guo Fan, and received his script for his cameo role.
Given that Qin Miao had never learned acting, it was unlikely for Guo Fan to give him any heavy scenes, and the lines were minimal.
Even if there were scenes, they were in peripheral positions.
And Qin Miao’s role was a trainee participating in training with Wu Jing, who ultimately gets eliminated.
