Chapter 32: I Can’t Take It!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wang Hao got up with an ashtray in his hand — nobody can get in my way. I really want to beat somebody up today! Not only the lead actor! The lead actress and the screenwriter too!
The three of them got up, looking fierce. They looked aggressive enough to scare the hell out of people, especially with Wang Hao holding the ashtray. The big guy Ma Ming stood in the middle. With his muscular frame, he could certainly put pressure on people. Before the fight even started, the lead actor was already sweating.
Luckily, the lead actor was very professional! He immediately protected the lead actress and started with the drama once again!
He held the actress in one arm, raised his other hand, then said, “Darling, I swear to the chandelier: I’ll only care for you and love you for the rest of my life! We’ll never be apart! If I die, we’ll be together again in our next life!”
Tears welled up in Wang Hao’s eyes! He was about to cry!
He really wanted to call them “the doomed lovers”!
“Cut!” The director stopped filming and avoided a murder!
Everyone was relieved. Wang Hao wiped at his cold sweat. That was close! He would have already beaten the actor up if the camera hadn’t stopped rolling!
“You all did well. Get some rest.” The director was satisfied with the scene. He called Wang Hao and the other two over and told them, “You three performed well, but remember, don’t go too far. We’re just filming. It’ll be terrible if you do punch someone, okay?”
Hm… I’m really worried that I won’t be able to control myself…
Wang Hao was drenched in sweat. He nodded and replied, “Okay, we won’t beat them up for real. How about I run forward and he gives me a kick? What do you think?”
“Okay, let’s do that!” The director nodded.
“That’s great! Who can’t fake that?” Wang Hao thought, “I wonder which black sheep invested in this drama. Considering the ridiculous plot, I’m sure it’s going to be a complete failure. What a waste of money…”
Since everything was settled, all of them returned to their positions. “Action!” The camera rolled!
“Come on! Kill me first, otherwise don’t dream about touching my woman! You can cut off my head, but I can’t lose my girlfriend!” The lead actor got ready to fight. “I’m not afraid of you!”
Wang Hao felt enraged right away — why does everything he says makes me want to give him a punch…
No, I can’t take it!
“Don’t talk bullsh*t! I’m going to kill you today!” Wang Hao ran at him with the ashtray. The lead actor was obviously nervous. “Ahhhh!” Wang Hao yelled as the actor kicked him!
According to the script, the fight between them should project the lead actor’s capability. The kick was to take Wang Hao down so he could deal with Ma Ming and Lu Tong.
Wang Hao kept reminding himself to exaggerate. So, when the lead actor kicked him, he shouted and fell backward. At the same time, the ashtray slipped from his hand…
This created a haze of cigarette ash. With the ash in the air, Wang Hao crushed Ma Ming and Lu Tong under his body. Ma Ming knocked over the computer table, and the display monitors on the table started to fall to the ground…
“Cut!” the director yelled with excitement. He laughed and said, “Okay, this part is fine! Well done!”
“Yeah!” Everybody cheered. They were thrilled to be able to nail a shot in just one take.
Everyone was excited except Lu Tong — Wang Hao bumped into him and Ma Ming. Ma Ming was big and strong, so he was fine. On the other hand, Lu Tong was skinny. He crashed against the table and hit his arm on it. It was so painful!
“Wait and see!” Lu Tong stared at Wang Hao with a ghastly face. “I was ready to show off my acting skills, but you messed it up again! F*ck!”
“It’s going smoothly today.” The director was happy with the progress of filming. “Take a break! We’ll start again in five minutes!”
It was finally over! Wang Hao was so relieved that he didn’t need to watch this dramatic Korean drama anymore!
It was supposed to be a good thing, but the screenwriter was so unpredictable! There was always a surprise!
The following scene was a total twist!
After the lead actor knocked down the yobs, their leader entered the scene!
Bald! A gold necklace around his neck! Shirtless! A hairy chest and the two dragons on his arm! Wang Hao nearly screamed out loud in terror!
Moon Zheng didn’t look like his lover. She was more like his pet!
The lead actor was frightened when the gang leader came out! He stepped forward and surrendered right away. “Are you their leader? Hit me, I can take it. I have only one condition: Don’t harm my girlfriend!”
What? Shouldn’t you be fighting the gang leader? How can you just surrender?
The gang leader played along. “Smart! I’ll be generous today, and let you go. Get out!”
Get out! Get out! Get out!
The lead actor then ran away together with the lead actress! What the hell! What’s wrong with the plot? Director, please give me a lunchbox! I can’t watch anymore!
Wang Hao almost threw up while watching! He didn’t expect the director to be satisfied. “Okay, very good! The male protagonist surrenders here, and will demonstrate his full capability when he robs the bank later on! Alright, pretty good work today. Everybody clean up, and we’ll move on to the next set!”
Wait. Wang Hao’s jaw dropped open!
Rob a bank?! Isn’t this a romance drama? Why are you adding such a scene to a romance drama?
Wang Hao thought that there would only be slight differences between the entertainment industry in this world and the last one. After being part of it today, he realized that the film and television industry here was way worse than he expected.
Who’s going to watch a drama like this? It’s hilarious as f*ck!
On the way to the next film set, Wang Hao asked, “Hey, is this drama a comedy? Can such a drama attract an audience?”
“Huh? Is there a problem?” Surprisingly, Moon Zheng answered, “It’s the same as all the other dramas.”
“The plot is so weird.” Wang Hao was totally speechless. “Can they make money out of this drama?”
Moon Zheng smiled and said, “Probably. Director Gao is one of the most famous directors in the country. All the dramas he directed got pretty high ratings.”
“Oh…” Wang Hao didn’t say anything else.
It might be a typical setting for the dramas in this world…
Wang Hao wondered: If this kind of drama also had an audience, then the popular movies in his mind might be able to gain incredible results!
Suddenly, the shy Ma Ming gave a bloodcurdling scream!
“God! Noooo!”
F*ck, what’s going on?
