Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Get the Hell Out of Here! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]

Lu Xiaobu and his entourage arrived at the filming location for "A Chinese Odyssey."

Suddenly, they found the place miserably shabby!

It’s just unbearable!

Every person in the crew wore an idle expression, slacking off wherever possible, hiding whenever they could.

Even the extras had expressions of utter boredom.

Lu Xiaobu’s face darkened right away.

He remembered that he should have told Chen Feiyang, he didn’t want this movie to turn into a disaster.

But what is all this now?

Are they mocking him?

Do they think he’s easily fooled?

He looked around, did not see Chen Feiyang, and then strode further inside.

He approached a few extras.

Looking at their makeup, they were supposed to be members of the Axe Gang in the desolate deserts of May.

The makeup looked quite on point.

But the words coming out of their mouths irritated Lu Xiaobu.

"Ah, another break, how relaxing!"

"Hey, we’ve shot this scene almost eight hundred times and it’s still not right, really."

"It’s not our problem, Chen Feiyang can’t even get the leads right, why blame us if we don’t perform well?"

"Exactly, it’s not our concern. Even if he settles it, I’ll make more mistakes deliberately, just to drag out the day, it’s so comfortable this way!"

"Yeah, in this hot weather, just sitting here, not working yet still getting paid, it’s comfortable indeed!"

"..."

"Where’s Chen Feiyang?"

Lu Xiaobu heard their conversation and asked out loud.

"Eh, Young Master Bu, are you looking for Director Chen Feiyang?"

One of the extras who recognized Lu Xiaobu quickly stood up and bowed.

"Yes, I want him to give me an explanation."

Lu Xiaobu said calmly, yet there was a rage in his voice.

Chen Feiyang had promised him solemnly before that this movie would be properly managed. And now?

"I know where he is, please follow me!"

That extra hastily nodded and bowed.

"Lead the way. Li Jun, tip him."

Lu Xiaobu nodded.

After walking a few steps, Lu Xiaobu suddenly stopped.

He turned back to the extra who had just talked about messing up deliberately and said, "You, get out now!"

"Me!"

Wang Chengjun, the just-spoken extra, turned pale instantly.

This meant he was being kicked out of the crew!

At first, he was shocked, and then a surge of anger rushed up.

As the saying goes, the barefoot are not afraid of those with shoes.

All these high and mighty figures feared Lu Xiaobu, but this Wang Chengjun dared to risk it all.

After all, if being obedient meant getting kicked out, maybe being disobedient might leave a slim chance!

"On what grounds do you order me? You might be rich, but you are not the director of this film, what right do you have to tell me to scram? Don’t think just because you have some stinking money, you’re above everyone else!"

Wang Chengjun stood up angrily and said, "I may just be an extra, but I’m not to be bullied by you. We have our rules; it’s not up to you to come and go as you please!"

Wang Chengjun was clever in his way, the type to be slick and skirt around the edges.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have even thought about dragging out the time.

With these words, he essentially labeled Lu Xiaobu as a rich and powerful bully.

And he completely avoided mentioning his own intentions to muddle through and not act properly!

Instantly, some people around, unaware of the full context and holding a strong resentment towards the wealthy, began to chime in.

"Yeah, isn’t that too much?"

"We’re different from you rich folks, we rely on this little salary to feed our families, it’s like asking for our lives!"

"I used to hear that Young Master Bu was kind, but now it seems he’s just an arrogant rich second generation!"

"Rich people are all bastards, and they should experience the suffering of the poor."

"Indeed, all the rumors online are fake. Lu Xiaobu is just an ignorant, wasteful scumbag!"

"..."

Wang Chengjun raised an eyebrow, smugly: "See that? Young Master Lu, we don’t really welcome you here! Really, you should mind your own business!"

"Fine." Lu Xiaobu was amused, nodded: "You think I’m over the top, right? Then just get the hell out of here!"

"Why should I! Who do you think you are! A director, an investor?"

Wang Chengjun, quite composed, directly retorted.

He did not believe from the start that Lu Xiaobu had anything to do with ’A Chinese Odyssey.’

Especially since Lu Xiaobu is known for being generous.

However, the crew of ’A Chinese Odyssey’ is terribly poor, how could they be related?

Even if, retreating ten thousand steps, Lu Xiaobu was now taking over ’A Chinese Odyssey’ and becoming the new investor, he was not afraid!

After all, his role was not just any extra, but the important role of the blind man from the Axe Gang.

If he were gone, many scenes would need to be reshot.

Not to mention whether that naive director Chen Feiyang would agree?

What about those high and mighty stars who are already very impatient?

What a joke!

There are rules in every industry, money is not everything!

"What are you all doing? Get ready, we’re about to start shooting!"

A chubby guy came over at that moment.

"Alright, Director Lu."

Wang Chengjun quickly greeted him.

Then, smugly, glanced at Lu Xiaobu.

Making a declaration of victory.

However...

"Young Master Bu, why have you come?"

The fat director was none other than Lu Hao.

He saw Lu Xiaobu and quickly came forward to greet him.

"Kick out all the people who were wasting their breath just now!"

Lu Xiaobu looked at Lu Hao and commanded.

"Sure, Young Master Bu."

Lu Hao immediately turned around, seeing that it was obviously Young Master Bu throwing a fit: "Wang Chengjun, you can get lost now!"

"What?"

Wang Chengjun’s pupils shrank, and he quickly protested: "Director Lu, what do you mean? Teaming up with outsiders to bully me? Are you also someone who goes weak at the knees for money? Think carefully, our crew’s current situation, if I leave, many scenes will have to be reshot! Can those main actors tolerate it?"

"Reshoot? If Young Master Bu isn’t satisfied, everything has to be reshot, everyone get the hell out!"

Lu Hao cursed directly: "Finance, settle their payments, let them get lost!"

Only when the wages were really in hand.

Did these people realize, they were actually dismissed!

Wang Chengjun was rather okay, he was prepared to counterattack regardless, losing was just losing.

But those people whom he had just stirred up were regretting so much their guts turned blue!

They were initially alright, but now they got fired!

Suddenly, they were all gritting their teeth staring at Wang Chengjun!

"Wang Chengjun, let’s talk on the side!"

"What do you want to do?" Wang Chengjun shivered immediately, fear visible in his eyes.

"Just a talk!"

Several big and burly extras immediately dragged Wang Chengjun into a small grove!

In no time at all, cries of agony from Wang Chengjun echoed!

Lu Xiaobu, fueled by anger, continued to follow Lu Hao to find Chen Feiyang.

At this moment, he was truly furious.

The upper beam isn’t straight, the lower beam is crooked!

Look at the quality of these extras, you can tell what the shooting is like!

Chen Feiyang, if you can’t shoot it, then just get the hell out of here!

Don’t come and ruin a classic!
