Chapter 959 - More Dazzling
“Yes yes yes! I can make the arrangements! Not extra, not extra at all!” The director nodded repeatedly. “We have the costumes and props! We have them all!”
Fu Huai’an was their movie’s biggest sponsor, and now, he was their savior!
Fu Huai’an was such a wealthy merchant, resolving all of the capital issues in the production crew. On top of that, he also resolved the problem of having a stunt double. He was so wealthy, yet he was willing to act as the stunt double of such a little-known actor, so how could he turn down his friend’s request to have some fun doing a guest role in the movie?
Cen Mo looked at the director with a murderous gaze…
Cen Mo looked helpless, appearing as if he had just swallowed a fly. Seeing his expression, Fu Huai’an fixed his suit jacket and said to Cen Mo in a lowered voice, “One shouldn’t have the heart… to harm others!”
Cen Mo was rendered speechless.
After settling things with Fu Huai’an, the director immediately informed the makeup artist to prepare…
Once they reached the temporarily set up dressing room, Fu Huai’an and Cen Mo both changed into combat uniforms.
The combat uniforms used for filming were real. Cen Mo frowned, feeling uncomfortable putting it on. When he turned around, Fu Huai’an had already swiftly and neatly put on his uniform…
Cen Mo was rendered speechless.
It was indeed different for someone who had been in the army. Before he could even put on his trousers, Fu Huai’an was already done wearing his boots.
Fu Huai’an stood up and glanced at Cen Mo, then walked out of the tent…
When the director saw Fu Huai’an exit from the tent with a combat helmet under his armpit, adjusting his gloves with his gaze lowered, at that instant, he felt dominated. It was as if Fu Huai’an was an experienced soldier, and in the very next moment, he would be going into battle!
When wearing a suit, Fu Huai’an gave others a mature and scheming vibe.
Whereas, when Fu Huai’an wore a combat uniform, he looked stronger and more hotblooded, as if merely by standing there, it was enough for him to defeat the enemy forces. The righteous and awe-inspiring feeling he gave off was powerful enough to protect everyone.
Lin Nuan sat with Song Yao with Tuan Tuan in her arms, waiting at the door with the director and the rest. When she saw Fu Huai’an coming out of the tent, the image of him appearing before her to rescue her like a deity gradually became clearer.
She held Tuan Tuan tightly in her embrace, and all she could hear was the pounding of her own heart!
Lin Nuan never thought someone could look so dashing in a combat uniform. Seeing the helmet under his armpit, Lin Nuan recalled the day they met for the first time, when Fu Huai’an forcefully fixed the helmet on her head, looking unbelievably handsome.
The male lead was resting in a chair. When he saw Fu Huai’an come out in a combat uniform, his face turned pale instantly, and his hands gripped the armrests tightly…
“Makeup artist! Makeup artist!” The director, who was the first one to return to his senses, shouted out for the makeup artist.
The stylist was about to insert the weapons placed on the table into the appropriate positions on the combat uniform, but Fu Huai’an was rather familiar with the various weapons on the table. The stylist had just picked up a gun when Fu Huai’an took it from her. He inserted each weapon into its appropriate position while asking the director at the same time, “How should I do it?”
The director hurriedly showed him the script and the movie storyboard. Fu Huai’an briefly took a look at it and understood what the director wanted, so he nodded…
This wasn’t an actual battlefield, so the chemistry needed between the team members in the team didn’t need to be that high. It was merely for show, so Fu Huai’an could handle it.
The makeup artist came running over with her makeup kit, and Cen Mo had also emerged from the dressing room.
Cen Mo gave off a different vibe from Fu Huai’an in a combat uniform. Fu Huai’an was filled with a strong aura and intimidating power, whereas Cen Mo looked handsome in a rogue-ish way, and his darkness was inconcealable.
But no one could deny that these two men were both awfully handsome. At least, they were more dazzling than the popular celebrities of today.
Cen Mo also came out carrying the helmet with one hand. He saw Fu Huai’an reject the makeup artist’s request to help him put on makeup and smeared camouflage makeup with his own hands. Cen Mo also didn’t let the makeup artist touch his face…
After his handsome and mature face was covered with camouflage paint, leaving only his tough and masculine features, the high-and-mighty and mature aura of a businessman was also concealed behind the paint, leaving only an aura that struck fear into others.
Cen Mo truly didn’t want to do something that required effort. He went to the director with his helmet in his arm and tugged at his collar. “I don’t fancy putting on a circus show with you here, so you’d better get this done in one take… And don’t show my face when screening this movie, understand?”
Cen Mo’s black and dim eyes were fixed on the director, making one’s back turn chilly.
The director took his words to mean that the friend of his movie’s fortune god, Fu Huai’an, merely wanted to have some fun on the set but absolutely didn’t want his face revealed on-screen, lest his friends mock him.
Hence, the director nodded, subconsciously speaking respectfully with Cen Mo. “Don’t worry!”
Having received a satisfactory reply, Cen Mo went over and had the weapons inserted into his combat uniform with the stylist’s assistance!
The props used today were all the real deal, so one could imagine how heavy they were when hanging on one’s body.
All the bullets at the set were blanks. Other than that, the director strove to do things as correctly as possible, refusing to use a model when the genuine stuff could be used.
Because of Cen Mo’s request to not reveal his face, the director arranged the character of a dispensable sniper #2 for him, which didn’t require difficult actions. He merely had to fix his sniper rifle in a high position. In any case, the role of sniper #2 would be edited out. Therefore, so long as it didn’t affect the plot, it didn’t matter what he let Cen Mo act as, so long as the latter could have his fun.
After getting the script, Fu Huai’an listened to the fight choreographer as the latter described the actions. As the fight choreographer spoke concisely to Fu Huai’an about what he should do in which position, the male lead could no longer sit still…
Especially when the male lead saw Fu Huai’an coming out in the combat uniform, his heart was struck with the sense of danger of being replaced!
After all, filming had just started for this movie. They would suffer fewer losses replacing him and reshooting the scenes he had already filmed, as opposed to waiting for his leg to recover!
But he had put more effort into this movie than anyone else—he had prepared for eight full months! From the time he received the script, before he was even cast in the role, he started training six hours every day in order to lower his body fat and sculpt muscles that made him look more like a soldier. Only he himself knew how hard he worked! He wouldn’t be able to take it lying down if he was made to give it up now!
“Director!” The male lead gritted his teeth and walked to the director, his eyes a little red. He forced himself to not look in Fu Huai’an’s direction as he said, “My condition isn’t as serious as Dr. Zhou put it, I’m okay! I can do those actions myself! I won’t hold up the filming!”
“How is this not serious? What you need to do now is rest well, don’t force yourself!” The director patted the guy’s shoulder.
The 1.87-meter tall guy’s eyes reddened in an instant. “Director, in order to take on this movie, I really worked very hard. I trained for six hours a day and suffered hardships that others wouldn’t be able to take. I…”
Fu Huai’an, who was listening to the martial arts director talk, raised his head…
