The martial arts instructor, also from China and having worked in the international entertainment industry for many years, patted Linghu Lan on the shoulder and comforted her:
"Don't take it to heart. That's how it is abroad. That actor has been filming action scenes here for many years, and it's always been like this. It's not your fault."
Linghu Lan smiled and said, "It's nothing!"
Having been a top-tier celebrity in China, I only realized my true status after coming here.
Her ideals were lofty, but reality was harsh; she was overthinking things.
The director comforted the male actor.
The male actor arrived expressionless, clapped his hands, and gave a provocative, unfriendly smile.
Linghu Lan smiled, her heart unmoved.
I love the way you act recklessly.
The actor laughed and said, "I've talked to the director, and we'll try to make it as 'realistic' as possible when we're filming. If I make you cry, I hope you'll show the spirit of a professional actor and finish the scene."
"Okay!" Linghu Lan smiled sweetly, "I will never hold you back."
The martial arts director hesitated. Domestic actors often face bullying and limited development when filming abroad. Foreign countries won't let a Chinese person dominate their screens, which is very different from China.
However, Wei Ran is, after all, a girl, and she's filming action scenes...
"Action!" the director shouted.
The male actor clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, and then threw a punch with lightning speed.
Linghu Lan closed her eyes, and instantly Chun-Li possessed her.
She sprang to her feet and threw a punch at him.
This is a clash of power against power.
The loud "bang!" startled everyone on set.
They seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking.
"Ah!" The male actor clenched his fists, knelt on the ground, and let out a ghostly scream.
Linghu Lan landed lightly, a perfect master's silhouette.
The only imperfection is that there should be background music here.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
The martial arts instructor's heart clenched; that aura... he had only ever seen in his old master fighters.
The director yelled "Cut!"
A group of people rushed forward.
"Ah! Don't touch me, my bones are broken."
"Call a doctor immediately!"
The on-set doctor immediately jogged over.
"Multiple fractures in the hand, I can't handle it, get him to the hospital quickly."
The male actor was carefully helped off the set by the crowd.
Before leaving, he glanced at Linghu Lan, his heart filled with fear.
Only by experiencing it firsthand can you know just how powerful that punch really is.
Upon meeting Linghu Lan's gaze, he couldn't help but tremble and screamed as he went to the hospital.
The male actor left, and the entire set fell silent once again.
The director's eyes widened.
"Miss Wei, what just happened? How could his bones be broken?"
"Maybe he saw that I was too weak, so he withdrew his strength and broke his own bones in the process?"
Director: "..." Are you kidding?
Everyone: "..." Is this some kind of dry humor from their country?
Martial arts instructor: "..." Do you think we're blind?
...
Because of the male actor's fame, this matter was reported by the media for a while.
However, Linghu Lan was not mentioned at all; it was only said that she was injured during filming and would be unable to continue filming.
The director was helpless, but fortunately there were backup candidates, from which a new male actor was selected. This male actor was exceptionally tall and strong.
Upon seeing Linghu Lan, he exclaimed exaggeratedly:
"Oh! No, I can't hurt her. She's too weak. I'll break her. That's too cruel!"
The air on the entire set froze instantly.
The previous actor said the same thing, and he's in the hospital now.
Male actor: "???"
