Whoosh!
In the courtyard, Qiao Yifu hurried in, his gaze fixed on the room as if he were looking at his lover, filled with deep affection.
At that moment, Xiaocui slowly walked out from the room, pausing slightly when she saw Qiao Yifu.
Just as Xiaocui was about to say something, Qiao Yifu swept towards her like a hurricane, covering the distance in the blink of an eye.
Next, according to the script, Qiao Yifu was to run up to Xiaocui, exchange a few lines, and then enter the room to find Xiao Qiang.
But the scene that followed was beyond everyone's expectations!
After reaching Xiaocui, Qiao Yifu didn't stop at all. In the moment of her astonishment, he crashed into her harshly!
Bang!
Xiaocui was sent flying by the impact, crashing to the ground violently!
Seeing this, everyone on set changed expression and rushed into the scene!
Especially Ye Feng, who only realized Qiao Yifu's intention as he charged at Xiaocui. But it was too late to intervene!
At that moment, Ye Feng's face was extremely grim as he quickly got to Xiaocui's side before anyone else.
"Xiaocui!"
Ye Feng helped Xiaocui up from the ground and noticed her knee was scraped and bleeding, her face pale with pain.
"Big Brother Ye, I'm fine!"
Xiaocui clenched her teeth, feeling as if her body had fallen apart, the pain causing her delicate frame to tremble. But she managed a smile at Ye Feng, signaling him not to worry.
Ye Feng's brows were tightly furrowed. Upon seeing Xiaocui's minor scrapes, he let out a slight breath of relief. But when he turned his gaze back to Qiao Yifu, it filled with icy coldness.
"Big Brother Ye, don't…" As Xiaocui noticed Ye Feng was on the verge of exploding, her face changed, and she quickly grasped his hand tightly.
Ye Feng struggled a few times, but Xiaocui refused to let go. He then turned to Qiao Yifu and said coldly,
"You did this on purpose!"
Qiao Yifu, seeing Ye Feng wanted to charge at him, revealed a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth. With a slight shrug, he said teasingly,
"Sorry, I was running too fast and couldn't stop in time!"
Qiao Yifu's mouth said sorry, but there wasn't a trace of remorse on his face, instead, it was charged with a strong air of mockery.
Not only him, but Xiao Qiang also seemed to have anticipated this, having already come out from the room, standing at the door and watching the drama unfold.
Seeing this, Xiao Qiang gave Qiao Yifu a thumbs-up, and the two exchanged a smile.
Both the director and the other actors could tell that Qiao Yifu was deliberately targeting Xiaocui. However, considering his status as a top star, everyone hesitated to chastise him openly.
"Xiaocui, how are you feeling now? If it's not okay, go to the hospital for a check-up. The production will reimburse the expenses," said the director, frowning at the sight of fresh blood on Xiaocui's knee.
Xiaocui's face was deathly pale, and cold sweat had formed on her forehead due to the pain. Hearing this, she shook her head,
"No need, Director! I'll rest for a bit, and I'll be fine!"
"Alright then! You go and rest, and we'll shoot another martial arts scene!" The director, clearly very satisfied with Xiaocui's professionalism, then shouted to everyone,
"Everyone get ready, we'll shoot the next action scene! Staff, call the actor playing the assassin over, let's prepare to shoot!"
While the crew was bustling about, Ye Feng had already carried Xiaocui to the edge of the scene!
Xiao Cui seemed to sense the anger in Ye Feng's expression, her face breaking into a sweet smile:
"Brother Ye, I'm fine, there's no need for you to worry! Also, that Qiao Yifu is a famous action star, if you really get into conflict with him, it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble!"
Of course, Xiao Cui knew that Qiao Yifu was instructed by Xiao Qiang, but as a newcomer, she simply had to face such challenges—it was the only way to truly fit into the entertainment circle!
Ye Feng was speechless at Xiao Cui's words. If it were up to his personality, to hell with the damn action star, he would beat him up first before anything else!
Thereupon Ye Feng examined the injury on Xiao Cui's knee and, finding nothing serious, he started to massage and heal the bruising with his palms!
Meanwhile, on the other side, a crew member with an ugly look on his face hurried to the director and anxiously said:
"Director, the actor playing the Assassin has damn run away!"
What!
Hearing this, the director was also taken aback, and quickly asked, "What happened? We haven't even started shooting, why did he run away?"
Upon hearing this, the crew member glanced cautiously at Qiao Yifu, then continued:
"The actor, after learning he would play opposite Yifu, was afraid of getting crippled by him. Without a word, he went to the bathroom! I checked the bathroom, and damn it, the guy's long gone!"
Listening to the crew member's explanation, all the other actors fell silent in disbelief, but then they understood.
Qiao Yifu was notoriously fierce in Hong Kong's showbiz, not only that, but he never held back. Almost every time he shot a martial arts film, someone from the stunt crew would end up injured!
So far, there have been twenty to thirty stuntmen in Hong Kong who have been injured by Qiao Yifu, and just last time some poor sod got KO'ed by one of Qiao's punches, and is still in the hospital!
Seeing this unfold, the director was anxiously pacing back and forth. It was hard enough to find a martial arts actor, let alone someone willing to work with Qiao Yifu!
Now, although the Assassin character is bound to die after just one scene, whom could they find to play the role now!
"Crew member, you got on yourself!"
Having no other choice, the director had to turn to the crew member. He was tall and his build was similar to Qiao Yifu's; if he could play the Assassin and have an action scene with Qiao, that would work!
However, upon hearing this, the crew member's head shook like a rattle drum: "No, no, no! Director, you could beat me to death, but I wouldn't do it!"
"You're f*cking kidding me!" Seeing the crew member's refusal, the director was even more helpless and turned his gaze to the martial arts instructor, his eyes lighting up:
"Yuan Bing, you've got great skills, you fight Yifu!"
"Director, I've got diarrhea today! I've already been to the bathroom several times, I can't do it! Definitely can't!" The martial arts instructor also shook his head repeatedly, almost making the director's nose go crooked with rage!
You were just about to ask an actress out to a hotel room, and now you tell me you have diarrhea?
I'm gonna slap you in the face!
The director's look turned sour, now truly left without options!
And Qiao Yifu, upon hearing that the actor playing the Assassin was scared off by his reputation, and knowing that both the martial arts instructor and the crew member were too scared to face him, couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.
He was indeed the ultimate master in the entertainment circle, Dugu Qiubai!
"What a bunch of trash! If anyone dares to fight a combat scene with me, I'll let them use one hand!" Qiao Yifu said arrogantly to everyone around.
Seeing this guy so full of himself, many people around had an unsightly expression, their faces tinged with anger and helplessness!
Qiao Yifu, a former Sanda champion who had also competed in world combat sports competitions, was not someone these ordinary people with a bit of Martial Arts background could contend with!
And just when everyone was stuck in a difficult position, a voice suddenly rang out:
"I'll fight him!"
