Wang Hao was the first to slam the table and stand up, picking up the ashtray right away—no one could stop him, he really felt like beating someone today! Not just the male lead! He wanted to beat the female lead and the screenwriter too, damn it!
As the three of them stood up, especially with Wang Hao holding an ashtray, the atmosphere was intimidating. Plus, with the tall and muscular Ma Ming in the middle, who was already imposing with his muscular physique, Wang Hao saw a drop of cold sweat trickle down the male lead's temple even before he made a move.
Fortunately, the male lead was quite something, very professional! Seeing things were not going well, he immediately protected the female lead, and then the melodrama started again in all its grandeur!
The male lead held the female lead and raised one hand, saying, "My dear, it looks like today won't end well. I swear by the light, I will love only you in this lifetime, never parting! If I don't make it, we'll be together in the next life!"
Wang Hao was instantly teary-eyed! Almost brought to tears!
He really wanted to make this leading couple the tragic lovers of the same fate, damn it!
"CUT!" Fortunately, the director called for a stop, preventing a bloody scene!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Hao secretly wiped away cold sweat. Close call, if the director hadn't called "cut," he couldn't have held back and would've taken action!
"Everyone did well just now, take a break," the director expressed satisfaction with the previous take and then called Wang Hao and the other two over for instructions: "Your performances were great, but remember, don't get too into it, we're filming. Getting into character is good, but really hitting people is bad news, got it?"
Well... what if I really can't hold back...
Wang Hao was sweating bullets, hurriedly nodding, "Alright, I promise not to really hit. How about when I rush up, he just kicks me and I fly away?"
"Sure, let's do that!" The director nodded.
This was simple enough, anyone could act. Wang Hao thought to himself. He had no idea who funded this movie; based on the plot, it was destined to flop. Truly, money to burn...
Once everything was arranged, everyone quickly got into position. With a shout of "action" from the director, filming resumed!
"Come on, to touch my woman, you'll have to step over my dead body! Head can be severed, blood can be shed, but I can't lose my girlfriend!" The plot continued as the male lead struck a pose: "Even if you outnumber us, I'm not afraid!"
Wang Hao's hair stood on end—why did every word this guy said make people want to hit him...
No way, can't hold back!
"Stop talking shit, today I'm going to cripple you!" Wang Hao shouted, charging with the ashtray. A drop of cold sweat appeared on the male lead's forehead, and he screamed like a pig being slaughtered, kicking towards Wang Hao!
According to the normal script, the fight should highlight the male lead's prowess, and this kick was supposed to knock Wang Hao down, after which he would deal with Ma Ming and Lu Tong.
But Wang Hao kept in mind the principle of exaggeration—important things should be emphasized three times—so as soon as the kick landed, he screamed "Ah!" and dramatically flew back, swinging the ashtray...
This created a powerful smoke effect, with ash flying everywhere as Wang Hao landed on top of Ma Ming and Lu Tong. Ma Ming then toppled a computer desk, causing the monitors to crash to the floor...
"CUT!" the director excitedly yelled, "cut," laughing loudly, "Great, this take is perfect! Nice job!"
"Yeah!" The crew cheered; a perfect take was always welcomed.
Everyone was excited except Lu Tong, who looked various degrees of miserable—it was Wang Hao who crashed onto him and Ma Ming. Ma Ming was big and sturdy, but Lu Tong's small frame got jammed into the computer desk, his arm hitting the table leg painfully!
"Just you wait!" Lu Tong's face was pale, his eyes fixed on Wang Hao, "I was ready to show off my acting, and you ruined it, damn it!"
"Today's filming went smoothly," the director was very pleased with the day's progress, "everyone take a break. We'll start the next scene in five minutes!"
Finally, it was over! Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, no longer having to endure this couple's melodramatic scenes!
This should have been a good thing, but the screenwriter was truly a genius! In his crew, surprises were everywhere!
The upcoming plot was truly unexpected!
After the male lead defeated a few of them, their boss made a grand entrance!
Bald! With a thick gold chain around his neck! Shirtless! Damn, with a hairy chest and two Azure Dragon tattoos on his arms, Wang Hao wanted to shout "demon, take my staff!"
The little girl, Zheng Yue, following him looked less like a lover and more like a pet, damn it!
As the gangster boss arrived, the male lead knelt! He stepped forward, surrendering directly, "Are you their boss? Name your terms, I'll take them. I only have one condition, don't trouble my girlfriend!"
What the hell, wasn't this the climactic showdown scene with the boss? Surrendering already, what's with that?!
The gangster boss was cooperative, "You know your place, today I'll be the bigger man, I'll let you go, scram!"
Scram! Scram! Scram! Important things should be said three times!
The kicker was that the male lead really took the female lead and scrammed! Flipping table! What kind of bizarre plot was this? Director, give me a lunch box, I can't watch anymore!
Wang Hao almost threw up watching. Unexpectedly, the director was still pleased, "Okay, pretty good! The male lead showed weakness decisively, then in the next bank robbery scene, he will shine! Alright, this filming here is good, everyone pack up, we're off to the next location!"
Wait, what? Wang Hao almost dropped his jaw!
Bank robbery?! Wasn't this a romance film? What's with a bank robbery plot in a romance film, big shot?!
Initially, Wang Hao thought that this world's entertainment industry was only a bit worse than his original world, but now, being actively involved, he realized that the film industry here was far worse than he had imagined.
Could anyone even watch such a film? It was just plain foolish!
Sitting in the car heading to the next location, Wang Hao was curious, "So, our crew is making a comedy? Can this film work out?"
"Huh? No problem, right?" Zheng Yue beside him said curiously, "That's how most shows are."
"This plot is so bizarre," Wang Hao was speechless, "Can it make money?"
Zheng Yue laughed, "It shouldn't be a problem. Director Gao is a famous director in the country, his films usually get good ratings."
"Oh..." Wang Hao said, and fell silent.
Maybe that's just how TV shows worked in this world...
But it still amazed Wang Hao, if such films could find an audience, then the blockbuster ideas he had in mind should perform unbelievably well?
Just then, Ma Ming, who had been quiet, let out an extremely mournful scream!
What the hell, what was happening now?!
