Chapter 1547 - 1545: I’ll Help Out
Su Xiaoxi, already slightly angry, heard these words and her face instantly turned icy. As a woman, her intuition told her that Li Yang definitely harbored ill intentions towards Lin Feng, and she had long been aware of Li Yang’s little schemes. So she had been wary of him for some time, and hearing him speak like that in front of Lin Feng now, she immediately became angry and wanted to speak up to reprimand Li Yang.
But before she could speak, she suddenly felt a slight tug on her hand and immediately understood that Lin Feng planned to handle it himself. Realizing this, a smile unexpectedly returned to Su Xiaoxi’s face. She gleaned some information from Lin Feng’s slightly smiling expression; Lin Feng wanted to play now, and she suddenly wanted to see how Lin Feng would toy with Li Yang.
"I’ve never seen your movies, honestly never heard of you," Lin Feng said to Li Yang, his tone calm, with a slight smile on his face. He naturally understood Li Yang’s intent to boast in front of him, so he decided to tease Li Yang.
Li Yang’s face instantly darkened upon hearing Lin Feng’s words. He hadn’t expected Lin Feng to say such a thing. He was currently thriving in the country, and even if his movies weren’t seen, there was no way someone wouldn’t know who he was. Clearly, Lin Feng was unwilling to acknowledge him.
"I don’t just act in movies. As a top male star in the country, I’ve made a lot of commercials that have aired on all the national TV stations, Lin Feng. You’re not going to tell me you don’t watch TV either?" Li Yang, unwilling to accept defeat, continued, thinking surely Lin Feng watched TV; he wanted to see how Lin Feng would keep his mouth tight!
"I watch TV, but I never watch commercials," Lin Feng replied with a calm smile after listening to Li Yang’s words, talking to Li Yang seriously. He rarely watched TV, and certainly did not watch the so-called commercials, so his words made complete sense, and there was nothing wrong with them.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s response, Li Yang felt like spitting blood. He hadn’t expected Lin Feng to answer this way, which made him want to vomit blood. He hadn’t anticipated Lin Feng being such an odd person—he had never encountered anyone like this. Li Yang was truly defeated by Lin Feng but was really unwilling to let Lin Feng leave him in such disgrace.
"I didn’t expect Mr. Lin to be so boring, but it’s okay. Mr. Lin, my promotional posters are everywhere on the streets now. You’re not going to tell me you don’t go out on the streets, right?" Li Yang said smugly at Lin Feng once again. He couldn’t believe Lin Feng never went out, for if he didn’t, how did he come here?
"To be honest, I really don’t go out often, so I really haven’t seen any of your promotional posters," Lin Feng said seriously to Li Yang once again. He rarely went out, and even if he did, he wasn’t in the habit of looking around because he simply wasn’t interested in those things.
"You... I didn’t expect Mr. Lin to say this. Are there people in this world who don’t watch movies, don’t watch TV, and don’t go out? Or are you intentionally saying this now, Mr. Lin?" Li Yang almost felt like spitting blood upon hearing Lin Feng’s words. He believed Lin Feng was just making fun of him, as there were no such people like Lin Feng in this world!
"What I said is true. You’re welcome not to believe it," Lin Feng said to Li Yang calmly. He truly didn’t know who Li Yang was, and even if he did, it had nothing to do with him, so he had grown tired of paying attention to Li Yang.
Following this, Lin Feng didn’t pay any more attention to Li Yang and directly took Su Xiaoxi over to another side, leaving Li Yang hanging. He really didn’t want to talk to someone with no manners anymore. Li Yang never expected that the first clash would end in this manner, his arrogance squashed by Lin Feng, leaving him extremely frustrated, wishing he could go over and unscrew Lin Feng’s head to see what’s inside!
But Lin Feng and Su Xiaoxi had already moved to the other side, leaving Li Yang feeling embarrassed to approach and say anything more, which would only make him look more petty. Realizing this, he had no choice but to temporarily give up on mocking Lin Feng and establish his grand image. As a leading actor in the film industry, being told off by a youngster who looked under twenty like Lin Feng made him lose face completely. Fortunately, no one was around, or he wouldn’t know how to end this.
How exactly to deal with this damn guy?
Standing there, Li Yang began to ponder how exactly to handle Lin Feng, because if he didn’t, he’d feel entirely uneasy, not just because of Su Xiaoxi but because of the humiliation Lin Feng had given him earlier; he really couldn’t swallow the anger...
Half an hour went by quickly, and everyone was still busy tidying up the scene when suddenly the sound of an ambulance could be heard from afar. The doctors got off the vehicle and saw Zhang Wu in such terrible condition, with even a smell of blood lingering in the air. Without hesitation, they lifted Zhang Wu onto a stretcher, and two people from the crew went along, disappearing from everyone’s sight in an instant.
Seeing that Zhang Wu had been taken away by the ambulance, the others immediately continued their work. Once everything was tidied up at the scene, everyone suddenly remembered one thing. Zhang Wu was okay now, but the crew was in trouble. With Zhang Wu gone, who would complete this task?
"Director, Zhang Wu is gone. What about his scenes?"
"Yes, this movie needs to be submitted soon. They’re waiting for it above!"
"How did Zhang Wu get into trouble at this critical moment? It’s so urgent that there’s no time to find a stand-in. What’s to be done now..."
The crew surrounded the director, all anxious. This time, the filming had a set task from above; the footage had to be submitted for post-production by the specified time to meet the schedule. The task was scheduled to be completed just right, but now Zhang Wu was injured. How to finish the remaining scenes? There was no way to answer to those above without completion!
Upon hearing everyone’s concerns, the director’s face also darkened. Looking at the situation now, even if someone was transferred from another place to take Zhang Wu’s place, there probably wouldn’t be enough time. He was also frustrated, starting to brainstorm solutions internally. With Zhang Wu in the hospital, what about Zhang Wu’s scenes? Time was tight and the task was heavy; he truly didn’t know how to handle it.
Su Xiaoxi and Lin Feng also gathered around at this time. Upon hearing that Sun Wu’s scenes couldn’t be shot later, Su Xiaoxi realized the severe impact. If nothing unexpected happens, the director will definitely call someone over from elsewhere to replace Zhang Wu. That would mean today’s scenes could go on indefinitely. Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxi’s face turned very unpleasant.
"Feng, I’m really sorry. I was planning to go back to Tianhai for a few days with you after the filming. Judging by the situation, I guess we can’t go back." Looking at Lin Feng, Su Xiaoxi said apologetically. She was terribly annoyed; her original plans had been completely disrupted by Zhang Wu’s matters. It seemed impossible now to return ahead of time in the next few days.
"It’s fine, isn’t it just filming? I can help you finish it." Hearing Su Xiaoxi’s words, Lin Feng gently replied. In truth, Lin Feng didn’t consider this a difficult task at all; it was merely shooting a few scenes. Getting through it wasn’t such a big deal.
But Lin Feng’s thoughts were simple. The crowd surrounding the director interpreted his words quite differently.
"Lin Feng, what do you mean?"
"This is filmmaking; do you think anyone who wants to shoot can just shoot?"
...
Looking at Lin Feng, people around began to mock sarcastically. They were discussing this matter with the director initially; none expected Lin Feng to say something like that. They thought this guy was joking, treating filmmaking as child’s play. This requires professional actors to do, especially Zhang Wu’s scenes that demand professional martial arts skills. Did this guy not even know these basics?
Li Yang was also surprised by Lin Feng’s words, but he suddenly remembered something. He was thinking about how to deal with Lin Feng; now seemed like the perfect opportunity. With this thought, a smile appeared on his face.
"You can help, sure, but are you sure you can act in a film?" Li Yang’s tone sounded normal, but he had other thoughts. He was setting a trap for Lin Feng; with so many people around, Lin Feng had to jump in whether he wanted to or not.
"Shouldn’t be a problem." Looking at Li Yang, Lin Feng gave a calm smile and answered directly.
"Shouldn’t be a problem? Zhang Wu’s scenes are all martial arts and require using Weiya. Have you ever used Weiya?" Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Li Yang immediately pursued the question. He wanted to see how Lin Feng would react, to watch him make a fool of himself.
"Never used it, seen it, but I think it shouldn’t be an issue." Lin Feng continued to speak honestly. He indeed had never used Weiya, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t use it.
"Now I’m curious. You’ve never used Weiya yet are so confident. I really don’t know where your confidence comes from. By the way, what do you do for a living?" Hearing Lin Feng say this, Li Yang chuckled. Not having used Weiya but daring to speak so boldly—he just didn’t know what Lin Feng was thinking, putting on such airs, and it made him feel like watching a monkey. Since that’s the case, he might as well let this joke continue.
"University teacher, teaching French." Lin Feng thought for a bit, figuring that was pretty much his profession. Although he long stopped teaching classes, his job was still linked there, so if describing his occupation, that was it.
"University teacher? Going to act in martial arts films?"
"Oh my, university teachers are this impressive now?"
"It’s my first time seeing such a young university teacher, and teaching French. Amazing, truly amazing!"
"..."
...
Others around couldn’t contain themselves anymore. Upon hearing Lin Feng say he was a university teacher, they couldn’t hold back and began to discuss among themselves. In their view, Lin Feng looked under twenty; even as a super genius, it was unlikely he was a university teacher. Moreover, now he was going to help act in martial arts films; this was evidently a super egomaniac, simply an ignorant fool!
Even the director couldn’t keep his cool anymore. If it wasn’t for Lin Feng’s good relationship with Su Xiaoxi, he would’ve wanted to chase this braggart away, feeling this was utterly making a mockery of his filming crew, completely unforgivable!
