Chapter 1551 - 1549: Cut Him Down for Me
"I’ll spend more time with you if I have the chance in the future." Lin Feng said to Su Xiaoxi with a hint of apology, noticing that the women around him were all very busy, and coupled with his own hectic schedule, there was really no way to accompany them all. He felt genuinely guilty about it, especially since it had been months since he last saw Su Xiaoxi, who was always out rushing to meet deadlines.
"Feng, don’t say that, just being able to see you occasionally makes me completely satisfied." Su Xiaoxi immediately hugged Lin Feng upon hearing his words, speaking softly. She really didn’t have high expectations. Nowadays, she was extremely busy, constantly overwhelmed by her position. Having this brief moment of tenderness already made her very happy.
"Let’s not talk about this anymore. Are you having fun with your filming?" Seeing Su Xiaoxi’s response, Lin Feng decided not to dwell on the topic further and instead shifted it towards filming, hoping to divert her attention.
"It’s interesting, but also quite challenging. However, the crew members get along well, so overall it’s good."
"Tell me more."
"Well, just the other day we were shooting a martial arts scene. Everything had been perfectly planned, but suddenly, a gust of wind blew and lifted the second female lead’s skirt. You can’t imagine how hilarious it was at that moment..."
"Don’t you all wear safety shorts while filming?"
"I can’t speak for others, but I always wear them. I’ve never had such a mishap."
"..."
Feeling bored on the ride, Su Xiaoxi started sharing some amusing incidents from the film set with Lin Feng. Lin Feng wasn’t expecting filming to be so comical and also began to smile. They laughed happily together, occasionally exchanging jokes, filling the car with joyful laughter...
In what seemed like no time at all, more than half an hour had passed, and they arrived at the next filming location. The crew members swiftly set up the scene, and the director urged the actors to get familiar with their lines and instructed everyone on what to do next, carrying out everything in an orderly manner.
Since Lin Feng was filling in for Zhang Wu, he took Zhang Wu’s part of the script, carefully reviewed it, and got a grasp of his scenes. He then stopped overthinking and let the makeup artist proceed with his makeup.
While he was getting his makeup done, other scenes were already being filmed. Watching the shooting, Lin Feng found it quite interesting, and time seemed to slip away unnoticed.
Soon, Lin Feng was ready, and the director began guiding his scene. He simply reconfirmed the shooting content with everyone to ensure they all understood his directions. The script supervisor walked in front of the camera with a clapperboard and loudly announced, "Scene 1517, Take 1, Action!"
After announcing, he immediately retracted the clapperboard and exited, marking the official start of filming.
This scene was quite straightforward. Lin Feng’s character, the chivalrous hero, negotiates with several antagonists. When the negotiation falls apart, the antagonists chase after him. The scene ended right at that chase since the subsequent chase sequence needed another shot to complete.
Everyone expected this scene would need multiple takes to get it right, given the director’s high standards. It’s rare to pass in one take, especially since Lin Feng was a newcomer shooting a film for the first time, so repeating was considered normal.
To everyone’s surprise, Lin Feng portrayed the character vividly and animatedly, from being stoically cool during negotiations to displaying a lively sense of defiance during the chase. He captured everyone’s hearts quickly; no one expected such a performance from him on his debut. It was simply unbelievable, even for the professionals, who admitted they couldn’t have done it better!
The entire take was nothing short of perfection!
"Cut, excellent, excellent, perfect, pass!" The director was overjoyed at Lin Feng’s performance, deeply impressed by his acting skills. To be honest, Lin Feng’s acting was truly flawless. If the subsequent shots were all like this, it would be amazing.
The people around watched the director’s joy, all eyes on Lin Feng. Even the scenes of veterans like Li Yang and Su Xiaoxi seldom passed in one go, yet Lin Feng, a novice, nailed it in one try. They were at a loss for words, wondering if Lin Feng was really just a newcomer. His acting was so good, surpassing that of trained professional actors, leaving them feeling quite embarrassed. Yet, their jealousy was pointless because Lin Feng’s talent was undeniable!
Perhaps spurred by Lin Feng’s performance, the following performances by others were unexpectedly good as well. Everything went smoothly, and as for the rest of Lin Feng’s scenes, they were just as successful. The director’s mood was excellent, managing to complete two days’ worth of filming within one afternoon.
With an uplifted mood, the director announced an early wrap, sending everyone home to rest, thus ending the busy day.
After returning to the pre-booked hotel, everyone had a simple dinner and then went back to their rooms to read the script. Li Yang was cautious, watching Su Xiaoxi and Lin Feng say goodbye before entering their rooms. Only then did he leave, and he arranged for his assistant to watch the door. He didn’t want Su Xiaoxi and Lin Feng to sleep together at night, or he would go crazy.
But Li Yang never expected that Lin Feng didn’t need to use the door at all. The reason he didn’t openly enter Su Xiaoxi’s room was only that Lin Feng didn’t want Su Xiaoxi to get caught in an unfavorable situation. So, after returning to his room, Lin Feng floated out of the window and into Su Xiaoxi’s room.
Seeing Lin Feng appear, Su Xiaoxi immediately threw herself into Lin Feng’s arms, clothes undone, and the room was filled with springtime...
......
The next morning came in a blink of an eye, sunny and cloudless, with the warm sun shining, and the weather was very nice. The crew started busying themselves with today’s filming.
The first shot was for Su Xiaoxi. After putting on makeup, Su Xiaoxi looked like a fairy from heaven, with an immortal aura that made Lin Feng’s heart pound as he watched from the side. Maybe because Lin Feng was present, Su Xiaoxi was a bit nervous today, and what was originally a simple shot needed three takes to pass.
Lin Feng, seeing this, immediately understood the situation. He went to Su Xiaoxi’s side and told her a few jokes, which relaxed her. The following shots went through very smoothly.
It was almost noon when it was Lin Feng’s turn. Today’s scene was quite simple, it was the chase scene from yesterday, showing that over a dozen experts were surrounding Lin Feng, and in the end, Lin Feng left severely injured.
Lin Feng didn’t think too much about the scene. After Liu Tianbao set up the fighting routine for Lin Feng and the other martial masters, the filming began immediately.
At the edge of a forest, Lin Feng was holding an exaggerated-looking knife, with blood constantly flowing from his arm and body. He was dealing with the people chasing him while frantically trying to escape, portraying the danger with extraordinary precision.
But the severely injured Lin Feng couldn’t escape and was eventually caught by the people behind. Surrounded, he began to retaliate.
"Cut him down!" A person who looked like some small leader shouted at Lin Feng, and then a group of people charged at him.
All the weapons pointed towards Lin Feng. Even though these weapons were all made of wood, they were still weapons, and all at once the cutting sound was all around, heading toward Lin Feng. But what shocked everyone was that Lin Feng took action.
"Boom!"
Just as someone was about to slash at Lin Feng, Lin Feng suddenly lifted his foot and kicked away the person closest to him, sending him crashing into the people behind. With a scream, that person passed out. But this was just the beginning, as the others continued to pursue Lin Feng, who had no choice but to keep escaping. When he couldn’t retreat anymore, Lin Feng, panting heavily, drew the sword from his back, emitting an extremely tragic emotion.
Seeing this, the chasers said nothing and all charged at Lin Feng...
"Boom, ah..."
"Boom, ah..."
...
The fight was something spectacular. Lin Feng’s knife seemed to come alive as he started fighting the dozen people, portraying an assassin’s final desperation perfectly. Even though every moment was fraught with danger, Lin Feng managed to turn dangers aside each time. After fighting for three to four minutes, Lin Feng finally knocked everyone to the ground, with groans of pain echoing all around...
For a moment, the director and others were stunned, deeply shaken by the strength Lin Feng displayed. They found it really hard to believe that a newcomer like Lin Feng could perform this fight scene this way. This wasn’t just any newcomer; this was a super, super, super martial arts star, maybe even better than a super martial arts star!
Yet, no one knew that these martial masters from Yuegang received orders from Liu Tianbao to use real strength against Lin Feng once they got close. Lin Feng initially didn’t take it seriously, thinking it was just acting, but as soon as they started fighting, Lin Feng understood immediately, realizing it was all Liu Tianbao’s instructions. So during the fight, Lin Feng lightly punished these martial masters a little because they were all ordinary people just trying to make a living, and Lin Feng didn’t want to harm them.
But even such a small punishment left these people unable to get up after the scene was shot. It’s not that they didn’t want to get up, but because their bodies wouldn’t respond, and the worst part was some kind of pain that nearly drove them mad. However, what was most frustrating for them was that they couldn’t even cry out; they could only let the sweat pour down...
