Chapter 40 Young man, you forgot your lines?
I'm doomed!
Just as the man was still worried, Jiang Wei told him seriously, "Since you were the one who called Brother Liu away, it's your responsibility to call him back. Otherwise, your scenes might not be able to start filming."
"I don't care what method you use, you have to bring Brother Liu back. He's the male lead in this drama, no matter what. Do you think I won't protect you?"
No way! My filming has only just begun; we can't really replace the actor.
The man quickly searched for Liu Chun's whereabouts. Seeing him with Sister Chen, he didn't think much of it, got up after falling, quickly got up, and walked towards Liu Chun with a smile on his face.
"Brother Liu... Brother Liu!"
Liu Chun was stunned for a long time before looking at him: "Didn't I already give you my spot so you could rest? What's going on now? Are you trying to make me sell my leading role?"
Anyway, the show "Lurking" has only just started, so if someone wants to change the actor or is willing to spend a lot of money, then the male lead can be replaced.
"No, no, no, Brother Liu, you're joking. How could I possibly want your leading role?" The man was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, waving his hands frantically, his grievance almost tinged with tears of blood.
"I've come here to apologize to you. I was blind to your greatness before and offended you. Please forgive me."
"Also, the director said filming is about to begin. Could you please come back and oversee things?"
"Oh, I'm doing just fine here, I kind of don't want to go back," Liu Chun said deliberately.
The man was so angry that his face contorted with rage, wishing he could kill him. However, he ultimately restrained himself and said calmly, "Brother Liu, it's all my fault. Please go back and sit down, otherwise I won't get any scenes. I was wrong before, I'm sorry!"
At this moment, Director Jiang Wei and his team approached the man and said, "Brother Liu, your salary for this role will be halved as punishment. Are you willing to accept that?"
The man immediately stood up, exclaiming excitedly, "Half my salary? How can that be? Even though I have a great reputation, what am I supposed to earn if my salary is halved?"
Fuwei sneered: "That's great. If you don't agree, we'll just replace the actors. It's not like we don't have enough people."
Replace him!
Once the manager was replaced, he not only didn't make money, but he also lost money. What kind of situation is this?!
In order to protect his own interests and maintain the director's image in the entertainment industry, the man finally agreed, disheartened, to halve his salary for the role he played and promise that such "looking down on people" would never happen again.
Jiang Wei smiled and said, "Brother Liu, he has received his due punishment. Can we go over and supervise the filming now?"
The punishment results were out, so Liu Chun naturally didn't need to stay there any longer. He immediately stretched and stood up, turning to face them: "Since the director has personally spoken, it would be inappropriate for me not to go. 'Seniors,' let's go."
The man trembled all over: "Please, senior!"
The current situation is neither profitable nor loss-making; it's like someone who works in a factory and is provided with food and lodging but not paid, yet they won't starve.
Oh well, what can I do? I guess I'll just have to accept my bad luck.
During the subsequent filming, Liu Chun was dedicated and responsible, providing guidance to the male lead in various aspects. Moreover, he lived up to the director's expectations, and the improved scenes looked even better, which is true.
Seeing how everyone around him affirmed Liu Chun's guidance and acting skills, the man realized that he had always been the clown.
To perfectly embody the character, Liu Chun was able to conceal her true self, delivering a flawless performance with top-notch acting skills.
"It's not a bad loss!"
"Aba aba aba..."
"Cut! Cut! Cut!" Director Jiang Wei hurriedly called for a stop, looking at the man on the filming set with a hint of anger.
He hadn't even realized what was happening until Liu Chun said, "Young man, you forgot your lines. Focus on your work, okay?"
"I'm so sorry, director, can we do one more take?"
Jiang Wei and Fu Wei looked at each other and said helplessly, "Then let's do one more take. Let's keep the same as before and try to get through this one directly."
"Come on, everyone, get ready..."
……
When it was Liu Chun's turn, the man was so caught up in the scene that he was embarrassed when he realized what was happening. He could only tell the director and the others that he was going home early and would be working overtime the next day.
After all, Liu Chun doesn't need to come tomorrow; he can come the day after tomorrow.
"Brother Liu, that 'hahaha' part just now... it was absolutely amazing! You acted so well. My sow at home is about to give birth, so I'll go back and take care of her."
"Okay, be careful on your way. It's fine if you come back tomorrow." Liu Chun waved goodbye. He could make full use of the man's time to film more of his own parts.
But... how come someone who's become a big star still keeps pigs at home?
Wait... what is all this?!
"That kid."
……
Liu Chun spent the entire day on set, not getting off work until very late.
The evening breeze made Liu Chun, who was standing by the roadside trying to hail a taxi, shiver. There were fewer and fewer taxis on this road home these days.
Either there were no cars available, or the cars were so crowded that not even one more person could squeeze in, which made it difficult for Liu Chun to hail a cab for a long time.
After a long while, he decided to go all in, since he wouldn't have to come to the film set in person the next day, and walking home would give him a good workout.
He then made some preparations, tightened his shoelaces again, and slowly ran back home.
Beautiful music played from the Bluetooth headphones:
…I once dreamed of wandering the world with a sword, to see the world's splendor. The heart of youth is always a little impetuous. Now you call the world your home…
Unbeknownst to him, three cars on the roadside behind him suddenly turned on their lights and followed him silently and slowly. For a long time, when there were no other vehicles around, they maintained a certain distance from Liu Chun. When the road was bright, it was pitch black again, with no lights on, making them very well hidden.
Meanwhile, someone inside the car was saying, "Are you sure it's him? We're not responsible if you've hit the wrong person."
Another voice came from the darkness: "I was watching you guys for a long time, and I'm sure it's him. This bastard made me suffer a lot today. If I don't teach him a lesson, he'll think I'm a fool."
"When you're doing this, make sure it's done cleanly and efficiently. Don't let anyone know who did it. I don't want to get entangled with this kid."
The man in the car exhaled wisps of smoke, completely calm: "Don't worry, we're professionals at this. Many people have come to us, and we've never left any evidence against them. We've received rave reviews! Just relax and wait for our good news."
"Okay, I'll transfer the rest of the money to your account after it's done. Be careful not to let anyone notice anything amiss."
"it is good."
After hanging up the phone, the man in the car tossed his half-finished cigarette out the window. The driver, coughing a few times, asked, "Hey buddy, that guy said this kid's tough. Should we be careful?"
Lao Da slapped him on the head from the back seat and said fiercely, "What are you afraid of 'him' for! We brought so many people with us, how could we not handle a young lad?"
"Stop talking nonsense and tell the others to hurry up and catch up. It's late at night and quiet, perfect for getting things done. After that, the most important thing is to go home and pamper your wife."
"Hehehe..."
The driver pressed the radio: "Everyone, did you hear that? Get him moving! Catch that kid and 'take him down'!!!"
Three cars simultaneously turned on their high beams, sped past Liu Chun, then slammed on the brakes, and the drivers, armed with various weapons, rushed towards him.
