The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 651 - 651 609 Movie_2

651: Chapter 609 Movie_2 651: Chapter 609 Movie_2 The filming site was immediately shrouded in dust and smoke, as the giant fans whipped up the dirt, making the hair of Wang Baizhi and another actress, both clad in tight-fitted leather jackets, dance in the wind, creating an intense atmosphere that foreshadowed the imminent battle.

Liu Hun rested his chin in his hand, the more he watched, the more intrigued he became, and he couldn’t help but start to recall the scenes from the widely popular TV series “Huo Yuanjia” that he had watched in the past.

“Ha!

Yah!

Hey!”

“Prepare to die!”

The two women began gesturing and fighting in the sandy wind, getting up close and personal when suddenly, they heard the director yell, “Cut!”

As the wind ceased and the dust settled, the actresses’ assistants rushed over hastily with clothes and water, offering warmth and questions of concern.

“Let’s go, let’s go check it out,” Liu Hun said to Cai Qian, striding forward.

“Yu Ling, I’ve told you many times, pay attention to your expression!

Look at your own expression here, it’s all wrong, the biting, grinding hatred!

Only that way can the audience feel your emotions!

Okay?

Let’s do it one more time,” Director Du Feng said to Huang Yuling, and then to Wang Baizhi, “Baizhi, could you please do it again?”

“All units, please prepare to take it from the top,” the assistant director called out to all departments.

Liu Hun, with arms crossed, stood behind the director, watching.

It seemed he noticed a subtle difference in how the director treated the two actors.

“Action!” the script supervisor shouted, and the second take began.

Dust swirled and the combatants engaged in close combat once again, yet the same conclusion came when the director yelled “Cut!” for the second time.

Director Du Feng patiently called the two over and said to Huang Yuling, “What’s the matter with you, Yu Ling?

Look at your expression—it’s completely off.”

“What do you mean what’s the matter with me?

I’m just like this!” Huang Yuling said, with a resentful glance at Wang Baizhi before folding her arms and tilting her head away.

“Huang Yuling!

What’s going on with you?” Director Du Feng’s face showed he was losing face, and he was reluctant to pull Huang Yuling aside for a private talk, lest it spark rumors.

“You know what’s wrong.

Whoever wants to play this role can do it, because I’m not doing it anymore!” Huang Yuling completely tore the pretense away.

“If you have any issues, take it up with me, don’t make a scene in the crew!” Wang Baizhi didn’t give Huang Yuling any quarter.

She certainly knew that the script’s original lead actress was Huang Yuling and that it was only due to the insufficient budget that Imperial City and Zhongxing had funded, allowing her to take the lead.

“Who do you think you are!

To take it up with you?

With someone like you?

Do you even know what acting in a movie means?

Thinking that showing off your breasts and howling a couple of tunes makes you a singer, it’s utterly absurd!” Huang Yuling wasn’t one to be trifled with either; seeing that Wang Baizhi broke the silence, she no longer held back.

“Stop it!

Take a break!

Take a break!” Director Du Feng immediately stepped in, announced the cessation of filming, and turned to leave.

Huang Yuling and Wang Baizhi, along with their assistants, went to their respective trailers.

“Break!” The assistant director shouted to the entire crew.

“The time to win hearts has come; let’s have the chef prepare lunch,” Liu Hun said to Cai Qian with a smile.

Cai Qian nodded and immediately went to the RV.

Liu Hun also walked towards Wang Baizhi’s trailer, listening to the surrounding people’s discussions all along the way.

“Huang Yuling’s temper really is too much, isn’t it?

Nobody has provoked her, and yet she dares to fly off the handle at the director.”

“That’s because you don’t understand the inside story.

Originally, the film was set with Huang Yuling as the lead actress, but somehow the investors on that side ran into a problem, and they suddenly replaced the female lead last minute, so that’s why Huang Yuling is so dissatisfied.”

“So what?

Just because she was replaced, she can throw tantrums everywhere?

Wang Baizhi is the hottest singer around these days, and she’s given in to her twice already, what more does she want?”

“Exactly!

Does she know how expensive film is?

All this reshooting back and forth, how much money is being wasted.

Moreover, the food here in the middle of nowhere is terrible and the living conditions are even worse, how long does she plan to drag this out?”

“Look!

Look!

Wang Baizhi has brought a catering truck to feed everyone!

Let’s go!

Hurry over!”

“Wang Baizhi really knows how to take care of people, so down to earth and generous!”

“…”

Liu Hun smiled to himself, not expecting that this tactic would actually work.

As he walked past Huang Yuling’s nanny car, he vaguely overheard some arguing inside.

Liu Hun glanced around, noticed nobody was paying attention, and then pressed his ear against the car.

“Yu Ling, please don’t make a scene, it’s getting very difficult for me to save face!” Director Du Feng sounded somewhat angry.

“Difficult for you to save face?

What about me?

What am I considered?

Everyone knows I was the female lead and now suddenly I’m demoted to a supporting role, what is this?

I have to memorize new lines and endure other people’s discrimination, who knows what they’re saying behind my back!” Huang Yuling complained discontentedly.

“There’s no choice, if it weren’t for Imperial City and Zhongxing’s investments, this movie would be aborted.

It’s my blood, sweat, and tears, and I don’t want to see it destroyed over money,” Director Du Feng explained.

“Ha!

Nice talk, nicer than singing.

Not wanting it to be destroyed over money?

But taking Imperial City and Zhongxing’s money and then changing the actor, isn’t that destroying it?

How do you explain that?” Huang Yuling pressed aggressively.

“Actually…” Director Du Feng’s voice sounded somewhat helpless, “both you and her are not the best choices, but I must compromise for the sake of my art and reality.

Comparing the two of you, aside from the money issue, I think Wang Baizhi fits the role a little better.”

“What did you say?

Fits better?

A woman who has never acted before is better suited than me?” Huang Yuling utterly refused to accept this, she’d rather believe Du Feng said so because he took the money.

“Yes, that’s right!

So, I hope you can perform well in the future, it’s also an opportunity for you to improve your acting.

A good actor can adapt to any role,” Director Du Feng said, softening his tone.

“Ha!

Any role?

Being a supporting actress is an insult to me!

I absolutely cannot tolerate it!” Huang Yuling insisted doggedly.

“You don’t have a choice, this is already settled.

The only option is to act well,” Du Feng replied just as firmly, determined to protect his work.

“Fine, I can act well, but on one condition, from now on Wang Baizhi can’t use a body double, and she has to be made to suffer, to let me vent!” Huang Yuling said with resentment.

“Impossible, this is my work.

I won’t trample on my own creation, absolutely impossible!” Du Feng was unyielding.

“Fine, Du Feng!

Think about it!

If you don’t do it, I’ll have my boss pull the investment right away!

And…” Huang Yuling said as she stepped closer to Du Feng, “don’t forget, you also took a portion of the money from the society, you know their methods!”

“Don’t threaten me with the society!

I’ve dealt with them before.

Whatever I owe, I’ll pay them back!” Du Feng said indifferently.

“We’ll see!” Huang Yuling left the sentence hanging coldly and didn’t pay any more attention to Du Feng.
