Chapter 621: Hello, my name is Chen Chou

Director A-Qiang was ranting furiously, naturally anxious and impatient.

Saliva was flying everywhere; despite the clear, sunny day, the assistant director felt as if he were caught in a rainstorm.

He wiped the saliva from his face with difficulty, forced a professional, fake smile, and dared not speak out despite his anger.

A-Qiang himself was very agitated, especially since one of the actors this time was Shang Rongyan, who had brought her own funding into the production.

This matter was indeed something the assistant director had to take the fall for.

Because finding actors was his responsibility in the first place.

But... he thought of the three million US dollars that had just arrived in his account, and decided to endure it.

This money had been transferred by Manager Nie Kai through a third party, with only one goal: to ensure that the crew would "fail to find" any stunt doubles when filming this scene.

But what if this scene was delayed?

If Shang Rongyan's time was wasted because of him, his fate would be miserable.

It didn't matter; Manager Nie Kai had specially "arranged" an extremely excellent stunt double.

"Oh, Director A-Qiang! I remember now, there was another backup actor I already notified, and he should be arriving soon. His skills are excellent; he's the twenty-six-time consecutive champion of the Kyushu World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament..."

The assistant director suddenly remembered something, grabbed the director, and started talking eloquently.

However, Director A-Qiang quickly realized something was wrong.

He looked at the assistant director hesitantly, "Twenty-six consecutive times? How old is he this year?"

"Twenty-six years old," the assistant director replied without hesitation.

"So he started participating in this World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament when he was one year old, right?" A-Qiang smiled gently.

"Uh..." The assistant director felt speechless. Damn it, this was clearly the information Manager Nie Kai sent him. He had completely forgotten that Manager Nie Kai's math was taught by a P.E. teacher. Just as he was wondering how to explain it, the person arrived.

"Hello, I am Chen Chou."

As soon as Zheng Qian got out of the car, he pushed past the staff manning the checkpoints and walked straight up to the director.

Although Zheng Qian was not a martial arts master, his foundation was currently quite good.

Under the training and guidance of Chen Chou, his explosive power, reaction speed, and other attributes were significantly stronger than the average person.

Not to mention that he had used the system to cheat, enhancing the strength of various muscle groups.

After undergoing hellish training, including special stretching classes from the system shop, Zheng Qian had reached 180cm in height.

His overall physique was excellent. Standing in front of the director, he actually made A-Qiang pause in surprise.

Duan Qiran followed from behind; his build was even more intimidating, causing some security guards who wanted to approach to involuntarily step back a few paces.

"This is..." A-Qiang looked hesitantly at the assistant director.

The latter's eyes lit up immediately. He grabbed Zheng Qian's hand and said, "Director Qiang, he is our stunt double! Hahaha, how about it? Aren't his physical conditions quite good? He has explosive power. Quick, A-Chou, show the director how you break a large stone on your chest!"

Zheng Qian nodded, grabbed a large stone from the roadside with one hand, and was about to perform when he was stopped.

The director waved his hands repeatedly, "That's not necessary. If your ribs break and pierce your heart, there won't even be a need to call an ambulance. He looks good enough. Although he's a stunt double and doesn't need to show his face, his physique is somewhat similar to the male lead's."

"Get it arranged quickly. Don't keep that young lady waiting. Go, go, get moving!"

In fact, when the crew usually encountered situations where actors were not in place, they could temporarily change the shooting schedule and film other scenes.

But Shang Rongyan had already finished her styling for this scene, and asking her to remove her makeup...

Other actresses would definitely be fine with it, but she would likely go berserk. For the sake of his life, A-Qiang decided to wait.

Fortunately, this stunt double named Chen Chou had arrived.

"Honestly, it seems the film companies in Hong Kong are not professional at all. It's such a hassle just to call in a stunt double; it's a waste of my time."

Shang Rongyan crossed her legs impatiently, gritted her teeth, and said, "If there's still no one, you two go and be the stunt doubles temporarily. Just don't tell my brother when we get back."

The two bodyguards in suits behind her nodded silently.

"I don't think that's necessary; it seems they've found a stunt double. Yan-Yan, after you finish filming, are we going to the Liwan Peninsula next door? Can I... have someone prepare the wine in advance? You know, it's a brand I designed myself, and the taste is really quite good. It's the kind you like."

"Also, I've been curious about that yacht Young Master Shang bought for you for a long time. I can finally experience it."

Beside Shang Rongyan, there was another equally stunningly beautiful girl—our old acquaintance, Pei Moyan.

Zheng Qian had seen her as soon as he arrived here.

He just hadn't expected that Pei Moyan would actually have such a personal friendship with Shang Rongyan.

And it looked like she was trying to curry favor with Shang Rongyan.

This was actually easy to understand; Shang Yanxiong's business was massive, especially with his abundant resources in the Western world. The Pei family simply couldn't compare to the Shang family.

More importantly, he remembered that she seemed to have founded a new wine brand in France.

In that case, she would need the Shang family's resources even more.

"No problem. Those strange socialite shows are really something. If it weren't for my classmate in America happening to be the program's director, I wouldn't have agreed to participate. Since they flew from the other side of the world to film, I can't be too disrespectful. Moyan, I heard there are a few handsome black guys in the crew. Do you want me to introduce you?"

Shang Rongyan fiddled with her beautiful nails and said with a half-smile.

A flash of suppressed anger crossed Pei Moyan's eyes. She certainly felt the sense of superiority radiating from Shang Rongyan, but she forced herself to suppress her inner turmoil and said with a strained smile, "You know, I don't like foreign men."

"Me neither. Wait for me here; I'll be right back."

With that, Shang Rongyan stood up elegantly and walked away.

Zheng Qian had experience in acting; after arriving, he professionally changed into his clothes and put on his makeup.

The male lead was flirting with a girl not far away. He glanced at Zheng Qian, who was wearing the same clothes as him, frowned instantly, and a flash of displeasure crossed his mind.

Huh? Why does his physique seem even better than mine?

"Brother David, the director is calling me over."

"Mm, go ahead. This scene is a bit dangerous, so be careful."

Watching the girl's curvaceous figure, the male lead, David, hid intense greed in his eyes.

This young girl was named Lin Youcai. She had decent backing, and she was the second female lead in this play.

She had resources, but Shang Rongyan had capital.

That was why Shang Rongyan was the female lead.

"Everyone to your positions! Ready... Action!"

Not far away, Pei Moyan furrowed her brows slightly, staring closely at Zheng Qian. She kept feeling... he looked somewhat familiar?

It felt like she had seen him somewhere before? But... his overall build was somewhat different.

It probably wasn't him.
