Chapter 14 Night Raid on the Factory
Chapter 14 Night Raid on the Factory
……
"Hey, who do you think is that guy who's been following Director Zhang around all day lately? A lot of people in the crew think he's the director."
"I've heard about him. Apparently, he's a rising actor who's currently assisting Director Zhang. Several roles have been changed because of him. In short, no one should underestimate him."
"Stop talking, stop talking, that person is coming over."
……
Early in the morning, Liu Chun arrived at the film set and felt like he had been completely transformed; it seemed like everyone was looking at him differently.
"Director Zhang, good morning!" Liu Chun said enthusiastically. "Could you arrange for me to finish playing my part in the film today?"
"No problem, I'll arrange it for you."
"Brother Chun!"
At this moment, Liu Yifei, who usually doesn't like to stay at the scene for long, appeared. She also came to Liu Chun's side as a friend when there were fewer people.
We're all actors in the same production team, so it's normal for us to meet and chat.
"I didn't expect to see you here!"
Liu Chun seemed somewhat surprised, as she shouldn't have been there, since her scenes for the day had already ended.
"How is it? Do you feel any pressure filming with Director Zhang?" Liu Yifei asked softly.
"I'm so happy!" Liu Chun smiled brightly, and she was equally kind to everyone in the crew.
"I can tell." Liu Yifei smiled happily.
Actually, Liu Chun had approached Director Zhang before she even joined the crew, but only the two of them knew about it; there was no third person.
"By the way, where's Director Zhang?"
After a while, Liu Yifei also prepared to leave.
"You keep looking, I'll be going now."
Liu Chun walked to the filming location alone. Since it was still early, all sorts of celebrities and big shots could be seen everywhere. They were surrounded by many people, who were basically all serving their own artists.
"Let me tell you, that's not how you act. Come on, listen to me..."
Seeing that someone was managing everything on set, Liu Chun didn't go up to give any instructions; she just stood aside and observed.
This person's personality is similar to Director Zhang's, but he has an even more volatile temper. He had only been there a short while when some actors had already been severely scolded.
"Liu Chun, has Liu Chun arrived yet?"
Once the previous actor finished filming their scenes, she immediately called over the next one.
"They're here."
When Liu Chun was filming, the first half went smoothly, but once they were all in character, the substitute director suddenly yelled "Cut!" and said to Liu Chun, "That's not how you act."
"But that's how I've always acted before, and Director Zhang has already approved it. What? You think you're better than him?"
"That's definitely not it." The woman walked to the monitor and sat down, her face solemn. "Everyone, get ready. Let's do this one again and see how it goes this time."
Liu Chun tried to argue that his performance was actually fine, but the woman didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and simply said "do it again," which silenced the entire audience.
The people who had been pecking at Liu Chun behind his back were now pointing and whispering about him, as if to say, "The person who's going to deal with you is here. Turns out you're not so tough after all."
He looked at the woman again; she had a smug look on her face, as if she was the boss on the set and that she had the final say on everything.
"Okay, thank you all for doing it one more time."
In contrast, Liu Chun's mere words were enough to sway everyone's opinion and prompt them to act immediately.
Seeing this, the woman became angry again, thinking about how to establish her authority in front of Liu Chun and prevent him from opposing her.
The effect was the same no matter how many times they did it. Liu Chun's acting was on point, but women just couldn't stand him and always wanted to find fault with him. And now, she was ready.
"Ah, so this time you..."
"That's enough!"
Before she could finish speaking, Director Zhang returned.
Upon hearing Director Zhang's voice, the woman was immediately startled and at a loss for what to do. She quickly closed her open mouth and took a few steps back.
"This scene was filmed twice, and there were no major problems with either take. It's perfectly usable."
Director Zhang frowned and stared at her: "You don't need to come here anymore. I don't need a stand-in director like this to temporarily take my place. Go somewhere cool and don't come here when you have time."
"oh."
Director Zhang approached Liu Chun again: "The filming just now was fine; it was the staff below who were incompetent. Shall we continue?"
"OK."
Before the woman left, Liu Chun carefully observed her. The two had never met before, and the people in the crew in the previous days were not like this.
In short, today is a bit unusual!
Once all the scenes are filmed and the system rewards are distributed, Liu Chun will first need to resolve the previous issues, as those problems, if they persist, will indeed be a significant problem.
Is today's incident related to them?
……
After leaving get off work early, Liu Chun took a taxi to the factory and secretly went to the same place again.
The situation was the same as before; someone was still delivering the black box, but this time it wasn't two people; only one person remained.
"What methods did they use to get rid of the other person?"
"Sasha..."
Liu Chun became alert and looked in the direction from which the noise was coming from.
"Nobody's here?"
After a pause, the rustling sound started again. This time, Liu Chun pinpointed the location and got up to approach it.
Behind the spinning bend, a person, covered in blood, leaned against the wall, looking as if he had just been tortured not long ago.
Liu Chun looked closely and found that the other person was the brother who had ridden in the car with him and carried boxes with him before.
"How are you? Can you still hold on?"
With the help of the faint light coming from below, Liu Chun realized that the situation was critical and that he needed to be taken out for treatment as soon as possible.
The man had already lost consciousness and could not hear what he was saying at all.
Without thinking twice, Liu Chun grabbed him and hoisted him onto his shoulder, intending to leave the place first.
"Snap!"
Suddenly, the door of a small warehouse below was forcefully opened, the sound forcing him to stop.
When he looked down again, the man who had come to deliver the box earlier had disappeared. Logically, he shouldn't have been able to move that fast.
At that moment, a conversation between two people could be heard from below.
"How's it going? Is everything resolved?"
"Everything's ready, let's go! Let's go for a drink."
Liu Chun immediately thought of the person who had just carried the boxes in. He recognized the person and then looked at the person on his back before quickly putting him down.
Once the last two people had left, Liu Chun lightly jumped down and arrived at the small warehouse that had been locked earlier.
Looking through the glass, you could see piles of black boxes that had been delivered earlier, and the brothers who helped with the transport were also locked up inside, tied up.
Thank goodness, he's alright!
Liu Chun quickly used the power of "Murong Fu" to grab the doorknob tightly and pull hard, breaking the lock.
Shh~, it's me.
"You've already been... by them..."
Liu Chun quickly reassured him, "Don't be nervous, let's leave here first. They didn't do anything to you, did they?"
Not yet.
After successfully untying him, the two quickly took the wounded man with them and prepared to find an exit to leave the area.
"Do you still have your car keys on you?" Liu Chun asked, already having a crazy and daring plan in mind.
"have."
"Let's go, let's go check out the area near the entrance first."
Just as Liu Chun was about to use brute force to open the door, he heard footsteps outside, which startled him so much that he quickly stopped what he was doing.
"Let's go upstairs first!" He pointed to the second floor.
