Chapter 97: The Ridiculously Cool and Stylish Boxing Champion

The crew had already finished every last bit of preparation before filming, waiting only for Jin Che-hui to arrive so they could begin at once.

So, a little over twenty minutes later, not long after he came out of the makeup room, Hong Gao lifted a megaphone and shouted, “Are all departments ready?”

“All preparations are complete!”

The answer rose nearly in unison from the department heads.

“Good. We begin filming.”

Hearing their affirmative reply, Hong Gao raised the megaphone again and bellowed, “Scene one hundred and twenty-six, Demon-Slaying, action!”

This was a scene shot at the foot of a mountain. It told how the heroine was abducted by members of the demonic path, and how the hero, with no regard for his own life, charged in with overwhelming force and displayed his mighty power.

After a brutal and fierce slaughter, the demonic cult members were finally driven back.

The heroine was rescued, and in their overwhelming emotion the two embraced and kissed.

At that very moment, a supreme powerhouse from the demonic path cleaved out a heaven-shaking palm strike from the void, and a colossal demonic hand instantly engulfed them both.

At the critical moment, the hero shielded the heroine beneath his body, taking the force of the palm with his own flesh.

What Chen Yufeng, the stand-in, had to do was step in after the two leads finished kissing, and replace the one who fell when struck by the demonic expert.

Because an explosion sequence would follow to show the staggering power of that palm.

In truth, special effects could have been added, but this shot was unusual and of great importance. The production team wanted to achieve the best possible result, so they chose to do it this way.

At that moment, the male lead Xiao Chen had just rescued the heroine Lu Yao. The two gazed into each other’s eyes, their expressions overflowing with love.

“Yao Yao, those people of the demonic path actually dared lay hands on you. I’ll leave them no one alive.”

“No, Brother Chen, we should leave here first. I’m afraid more members of the demonic path may come charging in, and then we’ll be in danger.”

“Yao Yao, don’t be afraid. With me here, I won’t let anyone harm you. Not even a single strand of your hair. Even if I were to perish and my path be extinguished, I still would not let you suffer the slightest injury.”

“Brother Chen...”

“Yao Yao...”

By then, both leads were already fully in character.

Jin Che-hui, playing the hero, immediately drew Yang Luozi, who played the heroine, into his arms and kissed her. But clearly Yang Luozi did not want a direct, lip-to-lip kiss.

She wanted to film it by angle trickery.

But Jin Che-hui did not care in the least. He forced his mouth toward hers, ready to launch into a fierce kissing spree.

In fact, this was something he had long wanted to do.

Today at last he had been waiting for this kiss scene, and he was visibly excited. Originally, Yang Luozi was supposed to wear a thin film on her lips, but after Jin Che-hui’s shameless maneuvering, she agreed not to.

Yang Luozi thought that even without the film, they would shoot it at an angle and not let him actually kiss her.

But how could Jin Che-hui possibly let this rare chance slip away? Angle trickery? Dream on. Just hand her over nicely, ha ha.

Just as Jin Che-hui was holding Yang Luozi tightly, his mouth about to land on hers for a wild kiss, Chen Yufeng, who had been standing by, suddenly flashed into action and kicked him sprawling to the ground.

“Get lost. Let me do it!”

Then he wrapped his arms around Yang Luozi and kissed her with reckless abandon.

Chen Yufeng was not drawn by her beauty. In truth, she was only reasonably pretty, nothing extraordinarily dazzling.

He was merely extremely displeased. Why should he be the one made into cannon fodder after Jin Che-hui kissed the heroine?

What sort of absurd arrangement was that?

If he could endure something like this, then he would no longer be Chen Yufeng. It was utterly unlike him.

Right then and there, Chen Yufeng, the supporting actor, held the heroine Yang Luozi in his arms and kissed her.

Yang Luozi was utterly stunned. She offered no resistance at all, only stared at him wide-eyed, which gave Chen Yufeng free rein.

The surrounding crew members were equally stunned, unable to react for quite a while.

By the time everyone finally came to their senses, Chen Yufeng had already had his fill.

Under the full gaze of the entire crew, he had kissed the wildly popular beauty star Yang Luozi for several seconds straight.

And he had done it in a variety of styles.

After the kiss, Chen Yufeng looked at Yang Luozi and grinned. “How about that? My kissing skills are pretty decent, right?”

Then he looked toward Wu Kai, the crew chief, as well as Director Hong Gao and several assistant directors, and said, “I told you I could do a kissing scene myself. Why didn’t you believe me? Now do you believe it? Since this is our first collaboration, I’ll lower my rate and take a little less. Just give me thirty to fifty million, and we’re good.”

The entire crew froze again at his words. Who the hell did he think he was? Was he trying to die?

“You bastard! You lecher...”

Coming to her senses, Yang Luozi raised her small hand and launched a flurry of tiny fists, pounding Chen Yufeng’s chest in a wild barrage.

She had acted in many productions before, and whenever there was a kiss scene, it was either done by angle trickery or with a plastic film on the lips.

One could say this was her first kiss, and it had been so intense, in front of so many people.

How was she supposed to live with that?

Chen Yufeng did not resist, letting her vent her anger as he only watched her with a smile.

“You’re Yang Luozi, right? I know you’re a very famous celebrity. Thanks for letting me prove I have what it takes to do a kiss scene. And don’t worry, I’m not interested in you, and I’m not one of your rabid fangirls either.”

Then, in an especially loud voice, he added to her, “And there’s something even more important. After being kissed by me today, when you look back on this in the future, you’ll realize this was the pinnacle of your acting career. So savor that kiss of mine properly.”

“You... can you be any more shameless?”

Yang Luozi nearly lost her mind. Being forcibly kissed was already unforgivable, and now he had to add this outrageously shameless speech on top of it.

Did this man have something wrong with his head?

Jin Che-hui had just been kicked to the ground by the stand-in. As the male lead, even the bit of reward that came with a kiss scene had been snatched away from him, and it was Yang Luozi’s first kiss, whom he had admired for so long.

Naturally, he was deeply unhappy, furious to the core.

His rage stripped away his idol’s burden, stripped away his reason, and he no longer cared about anything else. His eyes blazing with fire, his face twisted, fists clenched, he lashed out angrily at Chen Yufeng.

In the drama, of course, he was the most handsome, the most attention-grabbing, the invincible lead. The existence of every master was only to accentuate him.

Everyone before him was nothing but cannon fodder.

Yet the reality was exactly the opposite.

Chen Yufeng did not even look at him. When the man rushed up before him, Chen Yufeng casually kicked out, and with a loud thud Jin Che-hui’s entire body was sent rolling to the ground once more.

“Brat, you’re dead...”

At this point Jin Che-hui felt a deep sense of humiliation, so furious he could not even speak. As one of the hottest stars in the country, which minor role had ever not tried to curry favor with him?

When had he ever been beaten by anyone? Who would dare?

This ridiculous stand-in had no fear of death at all, humiliating him beyond belief. I’m going to kill you.

“Idiot, are you trying to die?”

“Where did this death-seeking thing come from? Beat him!”

Director Hong Gao and the assistant directors had never encountered such a situation. Their fury surged instantly.

When they recovered, nearly all of them charged at Chen Yufeng together. Along with Wu Kai, seven or eight men came at him swinging their fists.

Facing the fighting strength of this crowd, Chen Yufeng naturally felt no fear at all. He did not take them seriously in the slightest.

You are merely my points.

Earlier, when he kicked Jin Che-hui over, Chen Yufeng had already spent six points to use the God Tray Mall to exchange for a man named Super Cool Handsome Boxing King Ling Feng to possess him.

What followed was Chen Yufeng’s moment to show off.

“You idiots, you’re fucking asking for death...”

As Hong Gao and the assistant directors rushed in menacingly, Chen Yufeng merely smiled faintly, then began pummeling them with his fists.

Left fist, right fist, front kick, back kick, a leap into the air, a graceful spinning roundhouse kick. The movements were so effortlessly stylish...

The entire routine was exceedingly slick and handsome, even a little flashy to the eye, yet it was by no means showy and useless. Its practicality was immense.

“As expected of the Handsome Boxing King. Damn, he really has talent. These moves are slick enough, flashy enough, and I love it.”

Chen Yufeng was thoroughly enjoying himself, secretly thrilled. To be able to knock you all down while showing off like this—what a rush...

Ahh—

Ten-odd seconds later, as several cries of pain rang out one after another, six or seven of Hong Gao’s assistant directors were kicked sprawling to the ground in turn.

The only one still standing was Wu Kai.

“Brother Kai, come on, let’s have some fun.”

Chen Yufeng looked at Wu Kai with a teasing smile, all while making cool, flashy punching poses that terrified Wu Kai inwardly.

“How the hell are you this good at fighting?”

Wu Kai had never imagined this fool could actually fight so well. How could he possibly have the courage to face Chen Yufeng’s iron fists?

Once he reacted, he turned and ran on the spot, scared out of his wits.

But of course Chen Yufeng would not let him get away so easily. In a flash he dashed forward, sprang into the air, and sent out a beautiful flying kick, instantly blasting Wu Kai away.
