The Villain's Face Slapping Counterattack

Chapter 12

Face Slapping the Film Emperor and Empress (Entertainment Circle)

Looking at the cameraman, Zhou Xu felt very satisfied. All the shots he wanted should have all been captured by the camera.

At the same time, Zhou Xu and Han Zikui discussed and revised a scene. Zhou Xu never felt that he was a gentleman. Whenever men or women acted unfavorably towards him, he did not hesitate to retaliate. To show pity towards someone else merely because they were of the fairer sex was never something Zhou Xu would do.

Han Zikui then consulted with the scriptwriter, who readily agreed. After all, this modification was more in line with the personality of the former informant.

Everyone knew except Sun Yue, because no one notified her at all.

This was a scene where the conflict was more obvious. Zhou Xu played an informant who had a handler. Sun Yue’s role was the informant’s girlfriend, who coincidentally walked in on the informant doing his job. So the girlfriend asked why the informant was there and what he was doing. In order to protect his girlfriend, the informant could only say with a cold face that he did not know her, and finally the girlfriend left angrily.

This scene was actually very important in the whole film. At this time, Zhou Xu sat in a chair beside his handler with an annoyed face. There were two or three young ladies who joined them.

The door to the private room opened. Sun Yue came in and had just put down her drink when she saw her boyfriend. Her face was shocked and she looked incredibly distressed.

“You, why are you here?”

Zhou Xu had to admit that Sun Yue’s acting skills were genuine. She assumed the role very quickly, and she could stimulate other people’s emotions.

“How do you know each other? Are you sweethearts?” The women became interested.

“Know my ass. She was always chasing me before. She’s not my type at all. I had to drive her away. I hate this kind of woman. Look here, why don’t you get out of here?”

“I chased after you?”

“Yes, what’s wrong? Am I wrong, ugly?”

“You…” Sun Yue finished this sentence and ran out angrily. Suddenly Zhou Xu said, “Wait a minute.”

Sun Yue was stunned. There was no such sentence in the script, but the director didn’t stop them, so she could only follow Zhou Xu’s lead.

Standing still, Sun Yue looked at Zhou Xu coldly and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Zhou Xu got up and went to Sun Yue and said with some concern, “You have something on your face.”

Sun Yue touched her face subconsciously, and Zhou Xu said, “I’ll help you get it.”

As soon as Sun Yue raised her head, there was a “crack” sound, and Sun Yue was stunned. Zhou Xu laughed, “You fell for it, hahaha, I just hate you for being stupid and ugly, haha…”

Zhou Xu’s laughter didn’t stop for a while. His handler laughed and said, “Dragon, I can’t believe you actually slapped her. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to do anything, but you still hit her.”

“Boss, you’re wrong. I’m only beating this disgusting woman. Hey, get out of here, don’t let Lao Tzu see you again.”

Sun Yue covered her face and ran out. Her eyes were full of tears, not because she was pretending, but because she had been hit by Zhou Xu.

“Cut! Very good, Zhou Xu, come and redo two close-ups.”

Sun Yue was so angry that she went up to Han Zikui and shouted, “When did he ever hit me in the script?!”

“You didn’t read the script?” Han Zikui asked coldly.

This time, Sun Yue was stunned.

“I sent it to your hotel room the night before. Don’t tell me you didn’t know.”

Sun Yue became even more angry. She never stayed at the hotel because everyday, she went home to see Zhang Hanshu. Everyone in the crew knew, but no one had told her about the change the script. Someone must have blocked it.

Zhou Xu came over and said nonchalantly, “Sister Sun, does it hurt?”

Sun Yue stared at Zhou Xu. Zhou Xu looked up and said in a cold voice, “I did it on purpose.”

“You…”

“What?”

“This man, just because I hit you, you did everything possible to retaliate. You are narrow-minded and have a small belly.”

Zhou Xu spread his hands and said, “Correct.”

Zhou Xu did not wait for Sun Yue to reply, but instead turned around and left. He sought revenge for even the smallest grievance and could be extremely cruel and merciless. How could he not admit it? But what he wanted to say was that although he admitted that he was not a good man, he would always be the first to win.

Sun Yue was in a bad mood when she returned home, and Zhang Hanshu was still down. For the first time, Sun Yue realized that she did not want to coax Zhang Hanshu any more. She was also a woman, why did she always play the role of mother?

Without saying anything, Sun Yue slammed the door shut and went into her room to think. She couldn’t say anything. She, the eldest daughter of a rich family, had been caught off guard and slapped in the face by a brat. How could she let this go?

Zhang Hanshu saw the way Sun Yue shut him out. Suddenly, he came to a realization that he couldn’t go on like this . After all, he still had a lot of things to ask of Sun Yue.

Knocking on Sun Yue’s door, Zhang Hanshu finally regained his gentle, jade-like appearance. “Sister Sun, what’s wrong with you? I’m worried about you.”

“You roll.” Was the hysterical reply coming out of the room.

With a soft voice, Zhang Hanshu spoke encouragingly, “Sister Sun, I know you’re working very hard in filming, and you’re sure to encounter many unsatisfactory things, but you know, whatever happens outside, as long as you go home, everything will be fine. Because you have me, and I will always be there for you.”

Sun Yue suddenly burst into tears and opened the door. She rushed into Zhang Hanshu’s arms, thumped him on the chest, and said, “How are you becoming more capable now, wuwu.. I need you. I want to kill that bastard Zhou Xu…”

After finding out what had happened, Zhang Hanshu also became very angry. He patted Sun Yue’s back and coaxed her, whispering softly, “Good, good…”

Sun Yue gradually calmed down, realizing that the hysteria she had experienced was because she had forgotten herself. However, the idea of killing Zhou Xu became more and more intense.

As soon as this thought arose, it became a dense fog that would completely cover Sun Yue’s heart. She would never be able to escape that vast whiteness.

The movie was still being filmed and Sun Yue was now more honest, but she had Zhang Hanshu do one thing.

Zhang Hanshu did her request, but he did not ask Sun Yue what she was planning. In his heart, it was very clear, that if he did not ask, he would not know, and therefore, if he did not know, he would not be guilty.

As for his thoughts on this matter, Sun Yue did it, not him. Even if there was an accident with the plan, he would be able to keep himself clean.

Sun Yue certainly did not know what Zhang Hanshu was thinking. If she did, she might even want to kill Zhang Hanshu.

Zhou Xu had been paying attention to Sun Yue for some time now, and he also found a photographer to follow and record her almost constantly. The reason for this was because he could use the footage later.

Han Zikui investigated Zhang Hanshu’s involvement and understood clearly what he (ZH) had done.

When shooting for the film finished, Han Zikui’s protection of Zhou Xu became more thorough. Even the crew members consciously or unconsciously watched Zhou Xu while keeping their intentions to themselves.

In the movie, the informant was being suspected, and so the boss began testing Zhou Xu’s loyalty. He took out a gun and had Zhou Xu kill a captured undercover policeman.

The informant didn’t hesitate to shoot the man in the abdomen, causing blood to splatter. But, he had hit a spot very precisely, so that the shot caused injury and bleeding, but wasn’t fatal.

The boss was happy and gave the informant a new handgun, then had him shoot himself with it to prove his loyalty. In fact, there was no bullet in the gun at all. It was meant to scare rather than be dangerous. In the end, the informant saved his own life, and at the same time, got the chance to get in with the boss.

Sun Yue was not needed for this scene, so when the crew saw her present, they were very surprised, but they couldn’t say anything. After all, she was one of the protagonists, so they politely said hello, and then went on to do their own business.

The scene was set up, the people were in place. Han Zikui said, “Action!” and the actors began acting.

The actor that Han Zikui used for the boss was Gu Wanwei. He looked at Zhou Xu playfully and laughed, “Big Dragon ah, you’ve been with me for more than five years, and I’ve always liked you, but you also know the rules of our business. Why did you go astray?”

Zhou Xu’s hair was shaved very short, giving off a serious vibe. He wore makeup on his face that looked like injuries. There was a thick bruise on the corner of his left eye, and a bluish purple bruise on the corner of his lips. He had it because in the plot, he was fighting with a gang brother, and so he was like that. All the small details were designed to drive the plot.

With a dark look in his eyes, the informant smiled and looked at the boss. “Elder Brother Stone, whatever you want me to do, isn’t that already doing evil and going astray? Just say one word, and who, and I’ll get rid of them right away.”

Zhou Xu vividly portrayed the ruffian informant, and the informant himself was acting, so it showed that the informant was also working hard. He had to gain the boss’ trust to get more clues in order to finally treat his mother, and not be wanted and arrested by the police.

Elder Brother Stone winked at another younger brother, and then a tied up man was thrown in. This man was an undercover cop.

The undercover cop didn’t know that Zhou Xu was an informant, but Zhou Xu knew that he was an undercover, so the man came in and began to shout abuse. Zhou Xu stepped forward and kicked the man on the ground with one foot.

“Big Dragon ah, why is he so angry? Here, this is for you. We shouldn’t be cruel. Let’s give him a good time.”

The informant took the gun, and hesitation flashed on his face for a moment, but he still said nothing. He shot right at the undercover cop.

After firing, the informant returned the gun to Elder Brother Stone, hiding the tension in his eyes. He said, “Elder Brother Stone, this gun is not very good.”

Elder Brother Stone laughed and patted Zhou Xu on the shoulder and said, “Dragon, Dragon, you really, after killing people, you don’t think the tools were good enough. Indeed, that’s how you are.”

Elder Brother Stone was obviously very happy, but the informant was very nervous. He had begun cold sweating, and he had to have these people leave quickly because even though the shot was precise, if not treated in time, the undercover cop would still die of excessive blood loss.

Nobody cared about the “corpse” at the moment. Elder Brother Stone took out another gun and handed it to the informant. “Big Dragon, look at this one. It was given to me by our leader three months ago. It hasn’t been fired much.”

The informant took the gun from Elder Brother Stone, played with it, and complimented, “Good gun.”

“Give it a try.”

“How am I supposed to try? I’ll shoot that kid again?” Zhou Xu pointed his gun at the undercover cop on the ground.

“Well, he’s already dead. Isn’t it a waste of bullets to shoot another shot? Shoot yourself. Didn’t you say you’ll do whatever I ask you to do? I want you to shoot yourself now. What are you going to do?” Gu Wanwei, the actor, smiled playfully. His expression and actions all show that he was a sinister and cunning drug dealer.

Comments:

I tried to get this out as fast as possible, so there will bound to be mistakes. Let me know if you see any. I’ll just say that if anyone wants to pick up this project, you’re most welcome to do so. Looking ahead, I can probably continue translate arc 2, but anything after is murky.
