"An actor's physique training?"
Li Xue heard a new term and she realized she was getting more and more curious about Han Fei.
His dream was to become a comedy actor but he managed to uncover clues to a serial murder case because he participated in a thriller movie.
He looked like a gentleman, if not a weak one, but his physical and mental fortitude were extremely strong. It was as if he had been through hell himself.
Li Xue had met many strange people in her career but this was the first time she had encountered someone like Han Fei.
"Don't use the things that I've taught you carelessly and do not use them on people's weak points. If you're in danger, your first choice is still to call the police. " Li Xue noticed Han Fei was still practicing. He looked like he was really going to apply what he had learned in real life. She quickly reminded him.
"Okay."
"You don't have to be so nervous, the police have already increased the security around the area." Li Xue did not disturb Han Fei. "I'll be leaving now. When there's any new development, I'll inform you immediately."
"Okay." Han Fei continued to practice. He wanted to turn these skills into his body's instinct. Only then would he be able to survive in the dangerous world of the dead.
At noon, Han Fei cooked some food at home. Even when he was having lunch, there would be a book placed beside the dining table.
Han Fei used the time that he used to watch videos and play normal games to study criminal investigation, anti-surveillance and anti-stalking. To survive, he had become a person who loved to learn.
Floating in the sea of knowledge, Han Fei felt more fulfilled than ever. This kind of happiness was different from temporary excitement, it was long-term and it had a clear goal.
"You need to work hard silently and amaze those who want to kill you."
At 3 pm, Han Fei received a call from Jiang Yi. The man wanted to have a good talk with Han Fei.
To be honest, for a director to treat an unknown actor like this, it was already very important.
When it was almost 4 pm, Han Fei arrived at the set for the Flower of Sin. The victims' families were still gathered outside the apartment but this time, they did not act rashly. They merely held banners and protested silently. There were people recording beside them.
"Sir, the investigation on the human jigsaw case has been reopened. The results should be out soon. You're getting old, your body will collapse if you keep standing like this. " Han Fei was taken care of by Wei Youfu in-game so in real life, he wanted to take care of Wei Youfu's father.
The two of them had similar personalities. They were both good people who were persistent and kind.
"I understand your intentions, but this is the only thing I can do for Youfu." The old man gripped Han Fei's shoulders. His cloudy eyes were filled with complicated emotions. He appeared to have something to say but in the end, he only sighed. "Thank you, young man. I like your performance as Youfu."
Han Fei once used his back to shield the victim's family members from a bucket full of blood. Some of the victims' family members treated him as one of their own.
"The murderer will be brought to justice, I promise you." Han Fei was just an actor. In the eyes of the public, he had nothing to do with the case but for some reason, the victims' families found Han Fei's words strangely convincing.
Their eyes would soften when they looked at Han Fei, it was as if they could see the shadows of their victims on Han Fei.
Entering the set, the floor supervisor led Han Fei to a room on the second floor.
Once the door was opened, a thick cloud of smoke drifted out.
Jiang Yi and several other middle-aged men sat together. Several versions of the script were placed on the table between them.
"Xiao Han, the scriptwriter and I have revised the script overnight. You have a good relationship with the victims' families, so I hope you'll be the one to convince them about the controversial parts. " The ashtray was filled with cigarette butts. The two scriptwriters scratched their heads until they were almost bald. Revising the script again and again was indeed a very troublesome task.
"You want me to convince them?"
"That's the most I can do for the victims' families. If they still refuse, then I'll have no choice but to force them to continue filming." Jiang Yi had his own difficulties. "Even though I'm the director, I'm not the only one who has the final say in this movie."
Han Fei picked up the script from the table. The opening was good and the investigation process was realistic but the further he went, the more ridiculous it became.
"The victims' families will not agree to this script and I will not be able to convince them with this script." Han Fei tossed the script on the table. "The human jigsaw case is far more complicated than you can imagine. Instead of coming up with this script, why don't you go and study the case?"
"How do you know we haven't studied the case? It's easy for you to say that. " The balding scriptwriter stubbed out the cigarette in his hand. "Director Jiang, I've revised the script so many times, that's the best I can do. The contract that we signed does not require the consent of the victims' families."
"That's right, just follow this script. What's the purpose of making a movie? To solve the case? To expand our influence? Stop joking around, we need to earn some money first. "The other scriptwriter stood up and prepared to leave.
"Director Jiang, scriptwriters, I know it's not easy for you to keep revising the script. I also know you've made a lot of compromises. If this was any other crew, they wouldn't even care about the victims' families' opinion. You've done a great job." Han Fei opened the window to allow the wind to blow away the thick smell of smoke. "But why can't you just wait a little longer? This movie will soon have its real ending. "
"Why should we wait for the real ending? Do you think the audience will like the real ending? Do you know what the market is? Do you know what the audience for this movie is? " The balding scriptwriter picked up his jacket and walked to the door. He reached out to push Han Fei aside.
"I don't know what the market is but I do know that a murderer must pay for a debt." Han Fei stood at the door. His eyes scanned the scriptwriter's neck and ribs.
The icy glare forced the scriptwriter's hand back down. In the end, he patted the dust off his shoulder awkwardly.
"Director Jiang, if you think movies are just a tool to make money, then I don't care how you make the movie but I will not participate in a movie like this." Han Fei made it clear. "Even though many people think I'm just an extra, I believe I'm an actor and I'm participating in a movie that I can't afford to make any mistakes."
Han Fei then left the room. Staring at Han Fei's back, Director Jiang took out his phone.
His eyes wandered between the producer and Ah Cheng for a long time. In the end, he did not call Ah Cheng to return to the movie but instead called the producer.
"Sister Long, can you give me a few more days?"
"You need more time? How much time have I given you already? Now the main actor is refusing to act, the victims' families are causing trouble and there's a constant stream of negative news on the internet.
