423: Chapter 423 Firearms Mastery

In Lin Chuyan's hand was a thin sheet of paper, on which the scenes for the next day were written.

Director Du Qiyu had indeed kept his word. As it stood, the plot was advancing at a rapid pace, and it looked promising that filming would be completed in a month.

With Brother Wen being hunted down, The Five-Man Group began to act as bodyguards.

Today's scenes were being filmed in two locations.

One was in Brother Wen's company, and the other was at Brother Wen's home—a villa.

The plot for the shooting at the company was simple: everyone would enter the conference room under the secretary's guidance and wait to meet Brother Wen.

Then they would go to Brother Wen's office to shake hands with him one by one.

However... Lin Chuyan had a question.

"Director Du, tell me the truth, who has the boss's wife seduced?"

"She's seduced everyone."

"That's impossible, she even seduced Ah Fei? Is she that desperate?"

"Very well... except for Ah Fei." Director Du Qiyu instructed someone to update the script setting on the fly, "The boss's wife seduces the people who drive her around, but Ah Fei doesn't know how to drive."

"Alright, among the people the boss's wife seduced, is Xin Zai the only one who took the bait?"

"Yes."

"Then can I act like I'm indifferent to women? You know, the type who has absolutely no interest in women."

Director Du Qiyu raised an eyebrow: "Sure, how do you want to play it?"

"In a bit, isn't the secretary going to lead us into the conference room one by one? If she talks to me, I'll just completely ignore her."

"That works too." Hearing this, Director Du Qiyu thought of something more interesting and called Xin Zai over, "Later, when you enter the room, remember to turn around and stare at the secretary's butt."

Xin Zai: "???"

Director Du Qiyu: "It's nothing, I'm just helping you establish your character as a hot-blooded man who likes women."

Once they reached the villa, Director Du Qiyu continued filming.

The responsibilities for each member of The Five-Man Group had already been clearly defined.

Ah Gui was the most senior member of The Five-Man Group and was responsible for overseeing everything; he was the one watching when the surveillance cameras were installed in the villa.

Ah Mike was the sharpshooter, so he helped Brother Wen put on and tighten his bulletproof vest.

As for Ah Lai and Xin Zai, Director Du Qiyu sent them off to test the cars.

And Ah Fei's character... was actually a Firearms Expert!

Lin Chuyan's heart stirred, and he remembered he had a specialized skill he had never added points to—Firearms Proficiency.

The question was: how exactly did this thing make one proficient?

Either way, he would have to hold a gun later. Even though they were prop guns, if he could truly master the skill, he would definitely look more professional when shooting, right?

Might as well give it a try. Lin Chuyan started adding points.

This thing wasn't really useful for daily life in the country; it would only come in handy when filming. He didn't add too many points, just increasing it little by little, slowly feeling the changes, until he reached 100 points, at which point he stopped.

Sensing carefully, "Firearms Proficiency" was reflected in about six aspects.

First, operation and usage, such as loading and unloading, changing magazines, and mastering various shooting postures, aiming, and firing techniques.

Second, maintenance and care, such as knowledge about cleaning the barrel, lubrication, and inspection and repair.

Third, safety-related aspects, such as storage and carrying methods.

Fourth, tactical application, such as rapid aiming or how to effectively use firearms in various different environments.

Fifth, knowledge of firearms and ammunition, such as identifying the types and characteristics of different firearms, as well as methods for reasonably managing ammunition.

Sixth, disassembly and Gun Assembly. This one was quite interesting; it involved understanding the parts of a firearm and proficiently completing disassembly and Gun Assembly.

Hmm, he was still far from the realm of "perfection," but it was more than enough for this film.

So, I heard you're a firearms expert, right?

Lin Chuyan organized the newly acquired knowledge in his head, then saw the props team starting to place firearms on the table.

One, two... a total of five guns.

Director Du Qiyu also walked over. Seeing Lin Chuyan looking intently, he asked half-jokingly: "Do you recognize them?"

Lin Chuyan: "..."

He truly hadn't recognized them a second ago, but now he knew them like the back of his hand.

On the table, the five handguns shone in the daylight, looking cold and fascinating.

Lin Chuyan nodded: "From left to right: silver Taurus PT92, Browning BHP, Colt 1911, first-generation Glock 17, black Taurus PT92."

Director Du Qiyu: "...What the f*ck?!"

No, man, do you actually know this stuff? A firearms enthusiast? A military buff? Or did you learn this specifically for this movie?

Director Du Qiyu was taken aback.

However, Lin Chuyan kept going. He casually picked up the black one on the right. He ejected the magazine and checked it carefully.

"Detachable double-stack magazine, magazine capacity of 15 or 17 rounds, pretty good." Lin Chuyan smiled, "And the structure is simple, making it easy to disassemble and clean."

Although they were prop guns, the imitation was spot on. Realistic, too realistic; it seemed like even the weight was about the same.

"The Taurus PT92 is a copy of the Beretta 92. The advantage is that the performance is similar, but it's cheaper; the disadvantage is that it's a bit heavy. However... I like them a bit heavy. Director Du, can I use this one?"

"Sure, sure, take it, take them all... Wait, where did you learn all this?"

Firearms are banned in the country, there's something wrong with you, kid!

"Just learned it randomly."

Lin Chuyan brushed it off, his hands not stopping. He was still studying it.

"Don't tell me you can also disassemble and perform Gun Assembly?"

"Should I give it a try?"

"Try it, try it right now."

Director Du Qiyu waited to see.

"Well, I haven't played with one in a long time, so I'm a bit rusty. Let me get familiar with it first."

It was his first time, so he did need to get familiar with it.

Lin Chuyan stood at the table, holding the Taurus PT92. The heavy metallic texture felt very unfamiliar, but after adding the points, there was a strange sense of familiarity.

He first ejected the magazine from the magazine well, then pressed the disassembly lever, slowly sliding the slide off the frame. The spring and guide rod popped out gently as the slide separated, and he caught them with his hand.

Good thing he caught them, they almost fell to the floor.

He looked up at Director Du Qiyu, who hadn't noticed.

He continued.

Lin Chuyan's movements were very slow, afraid of making a mistake. His fingers lingered on every detail, and he only proceeded to the next step after confirming everything was correct.

Finally, every single part was placed on the table, arranged neatly. It had a unique aesthetic.

He tapped his fingers on the table and began reassembly.

Lin Chuyan's movements were still slow; he gently pushed the guide rod and spring back into place, aligned the slide with the frame, and slowly closed it.

A "click" sound rang out—good, no mistakes.

The second time, the third time, the fourth time... Lin Chuyan tried to speed up.

The slide was pulled open with a "swish," and the spring and guide rod were quickly removed.

Da da da da—Lin Chuyan's finger movements began to speed up, and every part that landed on the table returned precisely to its original position.

Finally, the slide closed with a "click," the entire process smooth and fluid, done in one go.

Clap clap clap clap—he looked up.

It wasn't just Director Du Qiyu; the other members of The Five-Man Group had also gathered around, all applauding.

So what if your acting is good? My acting is good too! Disassembling and performing Gun Assembly this fast? Holy sh*t, you're awesome!

Crow Brother: "Why don't you just be the sharpshooter instead?"

Ah Fei: "Director, this firearms expert... do I still get to be it?"

Director Du Qiyu held his phone: "Nickname, I recorded it for you, should I send it to you?"

"Send it! Thanks!"

"Wait a sec, let me edit it."

"You still need to edit it?"

"Stop talking nonsense, wait for it, I'm going to post it on Weibo!"
