He spoke so sincerely, yet he rejected her so coldly, saying directly that he had no expectations and would not make any promises. Anyone who heard that would probably feel heartbroken.
But she thought it was better this way. Rather than gaining something and then losing it, rather than expecting something and then being disappointed, it was better not to have it at all and not to have expected it.
In fact, Lin Xiao was overthinking it; the pace of the production was so fast that it was unimaginable to outsiders.
Sometimes the director would divide the crew into A and B teams, but the lead actors were too busy to be in two places at once and had to work non-stop. Several night scenes were filmed until dawn. When Wei Changfeng walked out of the studio, he saw the rising sun over Hengdian.
In this situation, he also had to calculate the time difference with France and miss Lin Xiao's classes, so the two of them had less free time to talk.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. When filming began, Director Tsui led everyone in a grand blessing ceremony, which is something that Hong Kong people value highly.
Perhaps it was because sincerity brought about a miracle, but after filming officially began, all aspects of the work progressed smoothly and in an orderly manner.
In the dramatic scenes, Wei Changfeng and Du Shuang's performances were both approved by Director Xu. For the action scenes, he temporarily used a stunt double, a young man of similar age and build named Wang Chang.
Du Shuang also has her own stunt double, but she performs most of the action scenes herself. Faced with Du Shuang's dedication, Wei Changfeng felt a little ashamed.
However, Zhao Hui insists that he will use a stunt double for all his action scenes at this stage to avoid getting injured again, which would directly affect the filming of the entire movie.
Wei Changfeng knew that Zhao Hui's insistence was reasonable, and that Director Xu had the same concerns, which was why he agreed. He just wished his injury could heal as quickly as possible.
He privately treated his stunt double, Wang Chang, to a meal, and Wang Chang was very excited.
There are many delicious restaurants in Hengdian. Wei Changfeng chose one that he used to frequent when filming period dramas.
He, Wang Chang, and his assistant Xiao Hao ordered a table full of dishes.
Wang Chang repeatedly said, "Brother, you really don't need to be so polite. This is the kind of money we earn."
Wei Changfeng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Actually, I'm quite embarrassed. When I was filming period dramas before, I did all the wire work and fight scenes myself, unless it was a move I really couldn't do."
Now, things are really messed up; even some basic fight scenes require your help.
Wang Changren seemed very down-to-earth: "It's okay, brother. I know you injured your leg. I saw the news a long time ago. It was a major operation you had abroad, right?"
Wei Changfeng was an honest man, and feeling a little embarrassed after hearing this, he could only nod.
"It wasn't a major surgery, just a fracture. It's mostly healed now, but the doctor advised against strenuous exercise, so you'll have to endure some hardship for a while longer."
Wang Chang patted his chest and said with a heroic air, "No problem, brother, I've got it covered! But the action director won't let me eat too much, he won't even let me eat! He said you're so thin, if I eat any more I won't even look like you from behind, and then it'll be a mistake, hahaha."
Wei Changfeng laughed too: "It's okay, I won't gain much weight in one or two meals. The action director just thinks I'm thin. One day I'll take off my clothes and let him see that I used to work out regularly and have muscles."
"Hey bro, what do you do at the gym? I can teach you a set of kung fu moves. It was taught to us by our master when we were in martial arts school. He said it evolved from Tai Chi and is good for your health. Even if you can't do strenuous activities, it's fine with me."
"Okay, okay, you can teach me after we finish eating." Wei Changfeng was very happy to hear that.
Xiao Hao, the assistant, watched from the side, feeling quite moved. That was the good thing about his brother; even after becoming famous, he remained down-to-earth, able to get along with anyone, and make friends anywhere.
He also often buys snacks for the extras, such as roasted sweet potatoes in winter and popsicles in summer, so he has always had a good reputation in the industry. His character is genuine.
