Chapter 218: Kneel and Apologize
“Okay, this looks good enough.”
They’d sailed far enough out to see that when Chu Xian looked around, he only saw water in every direction and no land.
Duan Ke stood and looked around. He nodded, and shouted to the rest of the crew. “Everyone gather around.”
“Old Mu, stop the ship!” Chu Xian called out to Old Mu as Yan Wenwen, Feng Huo and the others exited the bridge and came back out on the deck.
“This scene will be about fishing and seine netting. Everyone make your preparations. Brother Chu Xian, I’ll have to trouble your men to teach us!”
Chu Xian nodded, and had Sword Two being explaining the process.
“There aren’t many clouds today and the sun’s glare is intense!” Duan Ke looked up at the sky and turned to the crowd. “It’s very hot today, so everyone pay attention. Let’s try to get it in one go.”
Everyone nodded. None of them wanted to stay under the sun, and nobody wanted to be burnt up by the glare.
“Action!”
Chu Xian watched as the filming began. Everyone was still getting to know the ship, and it was clear that people would make mistakes in the beginning.
Chu Xian continued explaining everything as they went, and very quickly people picked up speed.
But very quickly, the filming came to a halt again. This time, it was Feng Huo and a middle aged man who were at fault.
“Cut! Feng Huo, you are fighting. You need to yell, yell you understand? That means you need to have a hoarse throat, and show your anger in your voice. Come, come. Let’s go again!” Duan Ke reminded once again.
“Okay!” Feng Huo curled his lips and was a little impatient, but he began the scene again.
“He’s not yelling at all. He isn’t even trying.” Chu Xian watched Feng Huo’s attempt and whispered.
“Yes. He can’t let go. He can’t get into character.” Duan Ke shook his head impatiently and then shouted again. “Cut, again!”
“Cut! Yell, Feng Huo, you have to explode!”
“Cut! Get angry, show your anger in your voice and on your face. Don’t be soft.”
Duan Ke stopped the scene six or seven times. He was asking for something very easy from Feng Huo, but Feng Huo could not even meet that basic requirement.
“Fuck!” Feng Huo kicked out at the fish in front of him and cursed impatiently. “Okay, let’s go. Again, again!”
Duan Ke frowned and then shouted, “Action!”
Finally, Feng Huo seemed to let go of his anger and frustration and yelled out hoarsely at his partner.
Duan Ke nodded, but then to his astonishment, the middle aged man playing the counterpart, perhaps because of Feng Huo’s sudden outburst, actually completely froze and forgot his line!
“Cut!”
“Old Wang, what happened. Don’t get distracted? Feng Huo, that was great. Again!” Duan Ke frowned and called out to the middle aged man.
The middle aged man hurriedly lowered his head in contrition, but at that moment, Feng Huo surprised everyone.
“Do you fucking know how to acto? We finally managed to make it work, and you had to screw it up!” Feng Huo pushed Old Wang onto the floor.
Chu Xian frowned and stood up, and Duan Ke also stood up with an unhappy expression. “Feng Huo, what are you doing. He only made a careless mistake once and you already blow up on him? Aren’t you over the line?”
Everyone looked at Feng Huo, and he flung his arms unhappily in the air. He took his hat off and threw it on the deck. “I’ll film later!”
“Don’t you think you need to apologize to him?” Chu Xian walked over and helped Old Wang up. Old Wang waved his hand, his expression extremely awkward.
Feng Huo heard Chu XIan’s words and was about snap back, but after thinking about what happened the other day, he ignored him and sat down.
Chu Xian looked at Feng Huo and walked over to him.
“Chu Xian!” Duan Ke called out hurriedly, and the other actors and actresses watched in stunned silence.
Chu Xian shook his head at Duan Ke and walked over to Feng Huo.
“What do you want?” Feng Huo looked up at him with some fear.
His agent also rushed over, and he forced himself to speak. “Mr. Chu, let’s let Feng Huo cool down first.”
“I don’t think there’s any need to cool down. We are all adults!” Chu Xian looked at the agent. “Apologize, and we’ll forget about this.”
“What are you saying? There’s no way I will apologize!” Feng Huo shot angrily upright.
Chu Xian remained silent, and quietly stared at the actor.
“Heng!” Feng Huo snorted, not daring to look at Chu Xian. “When you wanted me to come lay the male lead for this movie, if it wasn’t to give face for Uncle Jing, I would not even have come.”
“Very good!” Chu Xian turned and looked at Duan Ke. “Big Brother Duan, let’s change actors!”
Duan Ke replied through grit teeth. “Fine!”
“Don’t worry, if you run out of money I’ll invest more.” Chu Xian laughed, and turned to look at Feng Huo.
“Fuck, you think I want to be a part of your movie? If you all didn’t beg me, I would never have come, and now you don’t want me. Hehe, this father doesn’t care!” Feng Huo heard that they were going to cut him, and his face switched between green and white.
“En, you don’t care.” Chu Xian looked at him. “Since you are no longer part of this movie, we should talk about how you pushed one of our actors.”
Feng Huo paused, and he panicked a little as Chu Xian stared at him. “What do you want? Let me tell you, I am Feng Huo, if you dare to touch me I won’t let you go.”
“Mr. Chu, please, let us talk this through. Feng Huo’s father is a famous name in the business world, and he has many friends in politics.” Feng Huo’s agent rushed over. He was somewhat afraid of this young man, and remembered how cruelly he had acted last time at the resort. Afraid that he might act out, he quickly reminded Chu Xian of Feng Quo’s background.
“And?” Chu Xian looked coldly at the middle aged agent. “Just because he has some status he doesn’t have to apologize? Apologize now, and don’t force me to act!”
“Apologize? Don’t even think about it. Let me tell you, you surnamed Chu, don’t think that you have some background in Hai Qing City. I am not afraid of you. If you dare to touch me, you can just try!” Feng Huo was already inflamed, and he hollered and pointed at Chu Xian.
The middle aged agent frowned and grit his teeth. “That’s right. Feng Huo is a public person, and his family are not normal people. Although you are poewrful, there are still things that you cannot bear the consequence of.”
“Is it really that difficult for you guys to apologize?” Chu Xian looked at them and suddenly laughed.
The middle aged man stayed silent, but Feng Huo sneered. He thought that he had not acted tut of hand, and called over to Duan Ke. “Director, please bring us back to shore.”
Duan Ke looked at Chu Xian and opened his mouth.
“Fine, since they are no longer part of the movie, Sword Two, throw them overboard!”
Before Duan Ke could say anything, Chu Xian called out to Sword Two.
Everyone jolted, and they turned to look at Sword Two. Some fear appeared on the middle aged agent and Feng Huo’s faces.
“Mr. Chu, you should understand the consequences of your actions. Let me tell you, if something were to happen to us, you…”
“You speak too much!” Before he could finish speaking, Sword Two walked over and punched him in the chest, and then picked him up and threw him into the ocean.
“Pong!”
“Ah, ah!” Save me! Help!”
The middle aged man flailed in the water, and he called out in terror for help.
Chu Xian’s expression remained impssaive, and Sword Two walked over to Feng Huo.
“You, what are you doing? No, stop, stop!” Feng Huo watched as the aggressive and bald Sword Two stalked towards him, and his face twisted in fear.
“Chu Xian, you aren’t really going to do this.” Duan Ke hurriedly said, swallowing saliva.
Chu Xian shook his head slightly, and looked at Feng Huo.
“I was wrong. I apologize, I apologize. Forgive me, please forgive me!” Feng Huo backed away in terror.
Sword Two stopped and turned to look at Chu Xian.
Chu Xian looked at Feng Huo and laughed disdainfully. “Kneel and apologize!”
“You…” Feng Quo’s expression fell, and as if he had suffered a great humiliation, his expression kept changing.
“That’s alright, there’s no need. Mr. Chu, there’s really no need!” Old Wang heard Chu Xian’s words and hurriedly waved his hand.
Chu Xian smiled at the man and shook his head before turning to look at Feng Huo once more. “I’ll give you ten seconds to choose, and you can see if I can follow through on my words!”
“You… you…” Feng Huo’s eyes showed his fear, and he backed away from Sword Two.
“Time’s up!” Sword Two waited for the ten seconds, and then walked over and reached out to grab the actor.
“I will apologize, I will apologize. Don’t throw me…” Feng Huo screamed in panic, and then fell down and kneeled. “I’m sorry, don’t throw me.”
“Isn’t that good. Why did you have to pretend to be strong.” Chu Xian laughed, and then called over to Old Huang and the others. “Go get him.”
“Actually, even if you didn’t apologize I wouldn’t have thrown you into the water and left you.” Chu Xian laughed at him.
“You…” Feng Huo glared angrily, but soon ducked his head again.
Chu Xian signalled to Sword Two. “But I really don’t like you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sword Two grabbed Feng Huo and punched him in the stomach, and then began beating him.
