Shantang City.
The "Assassination" crew.
In a small alley, after the director shouted "On your marks, action!", Xin Sui, who played the female villain, ran forward quickly.
Liu Yunzhi, who plays the male lead, is chasing after them.
However, after chasing for a short while, Liu Yunzhi was dumbfounded: where did the person go?
How could it disappear in the blink of an eye?
The action director, who was running alongside the camera, was also completely baffled.
Director: "Cut! Villain, why are you running so fast? It's not like I'm sending you to participate in a 100-meter sprint. Let's do it again."
Xin Sui ran back.
She herself was quite surprised; when did she start running so fast?
I felt like I was flying, like I was floating in mid-air.
The speed was so fast that even she was caught off guard.
For the second take, Xin Sui deliberately slowed down the pace.
result--
Director: "Are you rushing to a funeral or something? This is a movie shoot! Do you even know how to act?!"
I still think she runs too fast.
Xin Sui: "...Sorry, director, I'll run slower."
The third time, Xin Sui ran slowly enough, but the male lead ran even slower, making her look too fast, so they had to do another NG.
Liu Yunzhi was panting heavily, surrounded by a group of assistants who were handing him water, wiping his sweat, and fanning him, as if they were serving an emperor emeritus.
Liu Yunzhi said with dissatisfaction, "Director, if she keeps doing this, I'm not filming anymore. M and D are exhausting."
As a big star with millions of fans who brought his own funding to get the role, he felt he had the confidence to say that.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as he said this, the director, who had been relentlessly scolding Xin Sui, immediately turned his anger towards him.
"Who the hell do you think you are! Get lost if you're not going to film! It's like I'm begging you to film!"
"You're exhausted from filming a chase scene? You're panting like a bellows, you're not even as good as the actresses!"
"Instead of reflecting on your own physical weakness, you're threatening me? Get out of here if you want, or come back and keep filming!"
Liu Yunzhi: "..."
Feeling the gaze of everyone around him, his face flushed instantly.
He's had a smooth and successful career ever since he entered the entertainment industry.
No one had ever reprimanded him so harshly before.
He turned to leave.
M and D, if you don't want to film, then don't! Who's afraid of who!
But then I remembered the boast I made to my agent before joining the crew—that I would definitely make a successful career change with this movie, win the XX award, and make those who said I had no work to show for it!
If he just leaves like this, wouldn't what he said before become a joke?
Liu Zhiyun tossed the deformed plastic water bottle he was holding to his assistant, took a deep breath, and bowed to the director.
"I'm sorry, director. I will do my best to act from now on. No matter how hard or tiring it is, I will never complain again."
The director snorted, "Good that you're aware of this! What are you all standing there for? Let's do it again!"
This time, it finally passed.
Xin Sui and Liu Yunzhi exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.
Next up is a fight scene.
Following the chase scene, Xin Sui will have to engage in a life-or-death fight with Liu Yunzhi.
Director: "Go all out in the fight later, show that visceral power of every punch, the more thrilling and exciting the better, understand?"
Xin Sui was somewhat worried.
It wasn't that he was worried about his own safety, but rather about Liu Yunzhi's.
Liu Yunzhi, who was skilled in boxing, was worried that he might injure Xin Sui.
"Director, what if I hurt someone?"
The director looked at him meaningfully, "You should worry about yourself."
During the initial audition, he specifically asked Xin Sui, who was auditioning for the role of the female villain, to perform a fight scene, just in case someone in his crew couldn't fight.
He dislikes actors who always use stunt doubles.
As a result, Xin Sui gave him a big surprise.
Liu Yunzhi, on the other hand, who was put in by the investors, looks like a weakling.
If he hadn't been unable to resist the big boss, he wouldn't have let such a weakling into his production team.
But if he gets beaten up and hospitalized during filming, wouldn't it be justifiable to kick him out then?
The director stared at Liu Yunzhi, already making plans in his mind.
Liu Yunzhi felt a chill run down his spine from the director's gaze, sensing that the director's eyes held a particularly malicious intent.
"If I accidentally hurt you later, please forgive me."
Before filming, Liu Yunzhi said to Xin Sui.
After being reprimanded by the director, his attitude changed considerably.
Xin Sui nodded, "You don't need to worry about me, just bring it on."
Liu Yunzhi didn't take her words to heart. The difference in strength between men and women is inherent, so how could he really be without any concerns?
However, the truth is—
As soon as filming began, before Liu Yunzhi could even make a move, Xin Sui kicked him away.
Liu Yunzhi, who crashed into the wall and fell down: "..."
If he hadn't been wearing protective gear, he probably would have coughed up blood!
Director: "What are you standing there for! Waiting to get punched?! Stand up and charge at him to fight back!"
"I'm telling you, you're not leaving until this scene is finished!"
If I don't get you to the hospital today, I'm not a Sun!
Feeling the director's deep malice, Liu Yunzhi was heartbroken and filled with regret.
Why did I insist on joining Director Sun's film crew in the first place?
This is a terrible scam!
Not long ago, he said he would no longer complain no matter how hard or tiring it was. If he were to quit now, wouldn't he be contradicting himself?
