Chapter 392 Let’s practice together?
"You are Ye Wanxi?"
Ye Wanxi paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, that's me. May I ask who you are...?"
The man's eyes lit up, and he reached out to touch Ye Wanxi's arm.
Ye Wanxi's expression changed slightly as she dodged his "sneak attack" by sidestepping.
Unexpectedly, this movement excited the man even more, and he immediately got into a fighting stance, ready to fight Ye Wanxi.
"Wait, Lao Wang, Lao Wang, stop right there!" Director Jiao knew what he was going to do as soon as he saw his movements from afar, and hurriedly chased after him.
Ye Wanxi watched as the other person withdrew his stance with a look of regret, and she also withdrew her hand, but her eyes still held a wary look: "Director Jiao? And this is..."
Director Jiao ran up to the two men, first giving Lao Wang a warning glare, before awkwardly saying, "This is our show's action director, Wang Chongwu. He doesn't have any bad intentions, he's just curious about you."
"A martial arts choreographer?"
Wang Chongwu patted his chest and said boldly, "That's right, I'm the action director for the film crew. You can just call me Lao Wang."
"Hello." Ye Wanxi greeted him politely, but she still didn't quite understand why this person was being so impetuous.
"Director Jiao said you're... very curious about me. Curious about what?"
Wang Chongwu perked up at the mention of this: "I've seen the video of you on the variety show before, the one where you chased after human traffickers. You didn't rely on any external force and jumped onto the roof. Your footing was very stable, that's amazing."
Wang Chongwu's praise was quite sincere; as the saying goes, experts see the details, while laymen just watch the show.
Wang Chongwu's family ran a Taoist temple. While other children were still playing in the mud, he had already started practicing horse stance to build a foundation.
He was also talented; among his peers, he had the best skills. In his early years, he even worked as a martial arts actor in the entertainment industry.
Later, as he got older and suffered from many injuries, he could no longer fight as hard as before, so he stepped down and became the martial arts director for many martial arts dramas.
As Wang Chongwu spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Ye Wanxi's arms and legs, and muttered to himself, "This figure doesn't look like someone who has practiced martial arts since childhood. Her stance is so steady that she should have trained since she was young, and her limbs should have muscles."
"..." So, he grabbed my arm just now to see if I had any muscles in it?
Ye Wanxi was dumbfounded by this silly logic. Putting aside whether she had muscles on her arms, this action would be considered sexual harassment if it were done by a girl she had just met.
After muttering to himself, Wang Chongwu asked with great interest, "I saw the news the production team posted online before, saying that you're also the action director for this show. Do you want to... practice?"
Ye Wanxi blinked and looked at Director Jiao questioningly.
Director Jiao rubbed his head, looking helpless: "The news posted online is just a temporary measure. If we really want her to be the action choreographer, what would we need you for? You need to tone it down. Today is the first day of filming, and you come here all excited to fight with one of our actresses. What's going on? She's young and a girl. Don't you know anything about chivalry? Can't you have some shame?"
The simple-minded person frowned upon hearing Director Jiao's words: "A stopgap measure? So the action choreographer thing is fake?"
"Otherwise, you still believe it's true?"
"Forget it, forget it. If it's fake, it's fake. As long as people have real skills, that's enough." After saying that, Wang Chongwu asked again, "So, shall we fight?"
Director Jiao was amused by this simpleton: "What are you talking about? I want to hit you right now! Get lost."
Director Jiao reached out to push Wang Chongwu, but couldn't move him.
Wang Chongwu: "..."
Ye Wanxi: "..."
Director Jiao: Why make things so difficult for an old man like me on the first day of filming?
Wang Chongwu saw that he couldn't push him away, so he curled his lips and said, "I didn't ask you, I asked her. Do you want to fight?"
Ye Wanxi also had a headache. She had a feeling that if she didn't fight this stubborn bull today, she would never have a peaceful day on set.
"Okay, how do we fight?"
Wang Chongwu shoved Director Jiao aside: "Find an open space, practice a few moves, it won't take much time."
Director Jiao's face darkened after being pushed by him. He secretly held a grudge and thought he would call the bastard's father later and tell the old man to remember to beat the kid when he got home.
"Xiao Ye, aren't you just being ridiculous?"
"It's alright, Director Jiao. It's just a friendly exchange, nothing more. I don't think I have any scenes to film today besides the costume fitting, right? It'll only take up a little time, it won't cause any problems."
Director Jiao: "..." Is this a question of whether it will cause delays or not? I'm worried you'll get beaten up and seriously injured!
"Yes, yes, yes, let's have a civilized exchange and stop when we've reached our limit. We know what we're doing."
Director Jiao gave him a dead fish-like look. How come your words sound so unconvincing?
Wang Chongwu was a man who would go down a path to the bitter end; once he made up his mind, nothing could change it.
Moreover, the other party involved had also agreed, so Director Jiao couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.
Worried, he told the assistant director to be ready to call 120 (emergency services) at any time, while repeatedly instructing Wang Chongwu: "Go easy on her later. She's a young girl. If you really hurt her, how will you compensate her? If you ask me, you two shouldn't have..."
Seeing that Director Jiao was about to start nagging again, Wang Chongwu decisively cut him off: "You know me, I'll be careful, don't worry."
"..." Don't be at ease, I'm not at all at ease.
The die was cast, and Director Jiao had no choice but to suspend filming and stay by their side to keep an eye on their situation.
The other crew members were also surprised to hear that the action director was about to fight Ye Wanxi as soon as he arrived.
They saw the official Weibo account's firm response, which had caused quite a stir online.
After joining the crew, I heard there was another martial arts instructor, and I roughly guessed what was going on.
Now, upon hearing that the new martial arts instructor is challenging Ye Wanxi to a fight, many people's first reaction is that the instructor is probably harboring resentment towards Ye Wanxi because of those posts on the official Weibo account and is deliberately picking a fight.
Some people were indifferent, some gloated, and others couldn't help but worry.
"How did they suddenly start fighting? I know that Master Wang. He's very tall and strong. I heard his family owns a martial arts school, and he's been learning martial arts since he was a child. Wanxi has such thin arms and legs, how could she be a match for him? No, I have to stop them."
"You'd better shut up. Director Jiao is right there. Even he couldn't stop it. Do you think your presence would be of any use?"
"Then what can we do? We can't just stand by and watch Wanxi get into trouble."
"It's unlikely that something bad will happen. There are so many people at the scene. Master Wang isn't stupid. Even if he really hurts someone, he won't be able to escape."
"What if? Fists have no eyes. The others are so far away, even if something really goes wrong, they can't stop it."
"Well, then we can only pray that she has good luck."
Yun Youna: "..."
