234: Chapter 234 Old ginger is still the most eye-catching.

"Satisfying, truly satisfying."

After the written and practical assessments on the third day ended, Lin Chuyan officially graduated and received his training certificate.

The training institution would apply for a racing license from the Federation of Automobile and Motorcycle Sports of China.

Generally speaking, it takes some time to process before the racing license can be mailed to him.

Lin Chuyan waited while filming, and three days later, he received his Class B racing license.

This is a regional racing license; holders can participate in regional car circuit races, but cannot participate in national-level or higher competitions.

Want to move up? It's simple: hold a Class B license for over 12 months, and participate in a certain number of races and qualify for the finals within a certain period.

Director Chu Dong was like that; he had passion, skill, and just kept moving up, eventually winning many awards.

However, Lin Chuyan's heart wasn't set on that; he was already very happy to have obtained the license.

He showed the racing license he had just received to the director, only to find that Director Chu Dong's train of thought was truly miraculous: "Do you want to go ahead and get your motorcycle license while you're at it?"

"..." Lin Chuyan didn't know what to say for a moment. "Director, I'm here to film, wouldn't that be a bit much? Hahaha."

Director Chu Dong said softly, smiling as he encouraged him: "Go for it, go for it. It's fine, really, it's fine. Anyway, you've finished your filming well, and there's enough time. I support you."

Director Chu Dong was truly bored. When Lin Chuyan mentioned receiving the training certificate, he had asked Lin Chuyan to try driving and show off a bit, only to discover that the kid's skills were truly excellent.

Pulling out from a standstill, reversing through S-curves, drifting into a parking spot...

The publicity team stationed on set was completely stunned, then hurriedly filmed it—material! Material! This is all material for the Spring Festival Movie Season promotion!

[What did I just see? Not acting! It's Lin Chuyan's Driving Skill! No, Lin Chuyan... just how many skills does he have that outsiders don't know about???]

Director Chu Dong was also surprised. Although he knew these techniques, the average person really couldn't pull them off—he had thought the kid was just bragging, but to his surprise: Xiao Yan, you were for real?

Director Chu Dong's appreciation for talent could no longer be contained...

Acting well? That's nothing; Driving Skill is good? You must keep working hard! You can't give up!

It's rare to find a young person in this circle with such talent and skill. Director Chu Dong was one hundred percent supportive: "Go for it, go for it. Since you've got the license, don't waste it. Drive more, compete more, strive to move up, bring back some rankings, and upgrade your license. Look, the racing license is valid for one year. If you don't use it, wouldn't that training fee be wasted? Doesn't it hurt your heart? That's sixteen thousand!"

Lin Chuyan awkwardly touched his little head: "Director, it seems like you were the one who paid for the training fee."

Director Chu Dong: "..."

"Young man, don't be too arrogant. I'm warning you, I told you to take the test, so take it. Otherwise, I'll film you looking ugly and put it in the Spring Festival Movie Season for everyone, including your girlfriend, to see."

"..." So ruthless.

What else could he do? Of course, he had to be obedient.

The two chatted for a while, and the set for the next scene had already been prepared.

Director Chu Dong patted Lin Chuyan on the shoulder and called him over.

This scene came before the "catching the ball to practice reaction" part and was one of the most brilliant comedic points in the film.

"Director, it's OK, we can start anytime."

Director Chu Dong nodded and began to instruct the actors on the rhythm of their dialogue. As for the rest, he gave no guidance to avoid affecting their performance—this group was truly too good at improvising on set, causing him to have to shoot several takes every time. Every take was good, every take was different; they were truly strong.

Especially Zhang Chi and Sun Yuqiang.

Although Lin Chuyan was the second male lead, the highlights of this scene were basically on these two old babies.

In this scene, the two of them were hurting each other, forced to show off in front of Li Xiaohai, but unfortunately, elderly people have slow reactions, so making a fool of themselves was inevitable.

Thus, the audience would naturally laugh.

Yes, creating comedy is just that simple—seeing characters make fools of themselves makes the audience laugh.

Comedy is exchanging one's own torture for the joy of others, and using one's own low status to evoke a sense of superiority in the audience.

Actually, everyone knows this, but the hard part is the details.

"Is the camera ready?" Director Chu Dong saw the "OK" gesture from the cameraman and finally shouted, "Action!"

Sun Yuqiang was in the distance setting up traffic cones.

Nearby, Zhang Chi spoke up: "Before the official race car is modified, Ji Xing made a small upgrade to our training car. I'm taking this opportunity to understand everyone's specific situation."

Zhang Chi looked at Li Xiaohai and Liu Xiande in front of him: "As for Xiande... I understand that quite thoroughly."

Li Xiaohai and Liu Xiande looked at each other; the latter sighed softly and lowered his head in shame.

Zhang Chi looked at Li Xiaohai again: "Xiaohai, you try first."

Li Xiaohai blinked, his eyes full of curiosity: "Coach, try what?"

Sun Yuqiang spoke up: "See those traffic cones? Find what you think is the latest braking point, start braking, and stop as close to it as possible. Use full force during the braking process, but don't lock the tires. Wherever you stop, that's it."

Li Xiaohai understood in a second and nodded: "Okay."

His expression was indifferent, as if this test meant nothing to him.

"Cut! OK, next take."

The next take was Li Xiaohai parking the car 1 centimeter away from the traffic cone, but this was actually done with special effects, so Director Chu Dong continued filming.

The camera cut, and Li Xiaohai was already in the car.

"Awesome!" Sun Yuqiang walked over.

Zhang Chi offered encouragement: "Not bad, less than a meter."

Sun Yuqiang corrected him: "Think bigger, this is centimeters."

Zhang Chi's small eyes darted, his mouth suppressing a laugh, and he started to stir up trouble: "Yuqiang, didn't you used to say you could achieve millimeter precision? Show us what you've got."

The others started watching the show, and Liu Xiande took out his phone to record.

Sun Yuqiang gave everyone a thumbs up and started the car.

The car was speeding, heading straight for the traffic cones!

"Ginger is still spicier when it's old..."

The next second, the car flew past Zhang Chi and knocked the traffic cone flying.

Zhang Chi continued without stopping: "And it's sore for the eyes!"

Sun Yuqiang leaned half his body out of the car: "Ji Xing! Hey! This brake pad feels very old! When was it changed?"

Ji Xing: "This morning."

Zhang Chi laughed until his mouth was crooked, while Li Xiaohai remained serious.

— — Lin Chuyan actually wanted to laugh very much at this moment, but the director had specifically instructed him not to, so he had to hold it in. He thought of a method: once again, he recalled the image of Brother Zheng Hai's thinning hair in his mind...

Sun Yuqiang heard Ji Xing's words, frowned, and said righteously: "Then it's too new! It hasn't been broken in yet! Zhang Chi, I've already broken in the brake pads for you, why don't you try it?"

Zhang Chi: "I'll pass."

"Cut!"

Director Chu Dong began to arrange the next take.

The next take, Zhang Chi appeared in the car.

Liu Xiande continued to record with his phone.

Zhang Chi started the training car and drove toward the traffic cones.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... brake.

The training car stopped two meters away from the traffic cone.

"This brake is broken in a bit too well." Zhang Chi was unconvinced inside the car and didn't forget to instruct Liu Xiande, who was recording: "Xiande, delete this part of the video first."

Liu Xiande: "No need to delete it, it hasn't been framed yet."

"Is it that far off?"

Sun Yuqiang stood up to make excuses for him: "Actually, this isn't important."

Zhang Chi interrupted him: "It is important! What good drivers compete on in the end is braking technique."

He restarted the car.

Bang.

The traffic cone was knocked flying.

The camera cut to the video Liu Xiande was recording.

Zhang Chi: "How is it? Did you get it?"

Liu Xiande: "It was framed, but the cone went flying."

"Cut! One more take!" Director Chu Dong shouted from the monitor, "Xiao Yan, if you want to laugh, go ahead; I didn't give you a shot in this part."

"Hahahahaha!"
