I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 343 Fighting!

"Oh, yes!"

Chad was the first to cheer, while David Leitch took a deep breath and looked at Chen Jin, who was fully armed and walking out of the exit, with a complicated expression.

Even though he had considered Chen Jin's marksmanship to be excellent, he never imagined that the other party was even more skilled than a professional.

That's a record-breaking achievement!

They broke the record set by professional mercenaries.

More than 18 seconds!

"Oh oh oh--"

Countless people around Chen Jin were already cheering enthusiastically, as if welcoming a hero.

Chen Jin smiled, clearly having also seen her own achievements.

He was actually a little surprised to break the speed kill record, but he was even more certain of Wick's prowess as the protagonist of "John Wick". Chen Jin certainly did not inherit Wick's true strength, but even so, he was already able to go toe-to-toe with professional mercenaries.

This was an incredible experience. In "John Wick," Wick's Vivor gun handling and Mozambican shooting techniques were clearly very professional.

Moreover, these are only some of the skills that Chen Jin learned during her experience.

There are actually many more high-end options available.

For example, the CARs he just used—the central axis re-locking system.

As the name suggests, this technology is a shooting system based on the human body's central axis.

Founded by British police officer Paul Cassel, who developed a set of shooting tactics more suitable for close-range reactions based on his law enforcement experience and guard career.

Because of its flashy and novel movements, this technique is often considered a cheap and attention-grabbing martial arts routine, but it is also frequently featured in games and movies, such as "John Wick," "Resident Evil: Revengeance," and the game "Splinter Cell."

Of course, this technology is actually quite practical, and its visual appeal is even greater.

Simply put, it's a gunfight at extremely close range.

It requires a high level of basic skills, and not everyone can learn this technique; many soldiers don't know it either.

Chen Jin inherited Wick's abilities, and of course, she also inherited the CARs.

"Sir, are you a special forces soldier?"

A white man suddenly asked Chen Jin a question.

Chen Jin shook her head and smiled at him: "No, I am a Chinese actress!"

"actor?"

The white man frowned, clearly not believing it. Moreover, judging from the energy and spirit he exuded, the other party should also be a retired soldier or an active-duty soldier.

"Your CARs are very professional!"

"I've never seen an actor master such professional shooting skills!"

"maybe!"

Chen Jin said calmly, "I trained specifically because I was preparing for a movie!"

"Oh?"

The white man narrowed his eyes, still not believing it.

If CARs could be achieved through ordinary training, then many soldiers would have to retire; besides, records don't lie, Chen Jin's 18.37 seconds broke Larson's record.

Larson is a well-known veteran of this shooting range. He is an international mercenary from Chung Cheng Security, a true hard man who has been on the battlefield and experienced fierce fighting.

It's problematic in itself that an actor broke such a strong record.

Furthermore, besides CARs, Chen Jin just broke records and demonstrated many other professional skills.

Balance step, TOB holding the gun... This is a high-end recoil control method that is different from the basic Vivor holding method.

It can make shooting faster and more direct.

The balance step is a walking style that soldiers have been trained to use. The upper and lower body are separated, and while the lower body moves forward, the upper body remains stable and still, always on a balance line.

It's like standing still, aiming a gun.

Normally, without special training, when walking, the upper body will move slightly left, right, up, and down.

Some people even waddle when they walk.

Small movements while walking are fine, but when you raise your gun to aim, even a slight sway of your upper body will cause the crosshair to deviate significantly, making it impossible to shoot while moving.

To accurately hit the target, you must stop, aim, and then fire.

If you stop to aim, then I'm sorry.

The record is simply unbreakable!
The balance step solves all these problems, allowing you to shoot while moving without stopping.

As long as you maintain a good pace of movement and consistent shooting skills.

This means that the speed, reaction, accuracy, and stability required for dynamic response close-range shooting are all perfectly matched.

Therefore, this record is definitely not one that an ordinary person can break.

Let alone... an actor?!
Unless, this guy has undergone some kind of special training like Stallone?

At this moment, Chen Jin had already walked up to David Leitch and the others.

"Chan, before you became an actress, you were a veteran, right?"

Chad asked the question, and of course, there was an element of joking in it, because his body language was very expressive; Sun Nuo next to him shrugged and made a funny face: "I only thought you had practiced martial arts since you were a child, it seems you also joined the army in the middle!"

"Hahaha!"

Guo Fan and Gong Ge'er laughed loudly, while only David Leitch sighed, "Dude, you've broken a record!"

"An amazing record, you know?"

"My God, this is an achievement that many professionals can't reach! You're definitely not an ordinary person!"

David Leitch's estimate is the most normal.

Chen Jin smiled slightly at him: "I am indeed not an ordinary person. Would you like to collaborate with me on a gunfight action blockbuster called 'Killer: Dragon'?"

"Haha, of course!"

David Leitch nodded frantically: "I'm already looking forward to your amazing performance in this movie!"

"My God, you'll definitely be next!"

"I'm certain he'll be the next Eastern superstar!"

David's eyes were filled with excitement, even admiration. Chen Jin's record had truly broadened the horizons of this military enthusiast.

Are you kidding me?
A record in the quick kill arena, this is a genuine achievement.

On the battlefield, Chen Jin could instantly transform into a mercenary, and David would have no doubt about that.

"Then we can start making preparations after today!"

"I need your help!"

Chen Jin looked solemnly at David and Jonathan.

Without the slightest hesitation, the three of them said in unison, "We can't wait!"

Anyone who sees Chen Jin's performance and the strength he demonstrates, considering his Venice Film Festival Best Actor acting skills and that Hollywood-style standard script... no one doubts that Chen Jin could not do a good job in this production.

He is the most suitable actor from the East to play the male lead, Long.

His skills, marksmanship, and acting—it's fair to say this role was tailor-made for him.

Everyone could see Chen Jin's ambition.

But precisely because of this, several directors and cinematographers who had not yet made a name for themselves in Hollywood would choose to work with him without hesitation.

The other party needs me, and they also need this opportunity to prove themselves!
Because everyone's goal is the same.

That is to make a name for oneself in Hollywood, and "Killer: Dragon" offers that hope.

"Happy cooperation!"

Chen Jin suddenly reached out her hand, and Sun Nuo had already placed his hand on top of hers, followed by Guo Fan, then David Leitch… one by one they placed their hands on top of each other, and suddenly shouted in unison: “Fighting!”

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed after he shouted it.

These were truly things that came out of the mouths of several people without thinking.

I never expected that the word I wanted to use would be so universally agreed upon.

fighting!

It's all about fighting.

Chen Jin needs to make a comeback in China through filming in Hollywood, Sun Nuo needs to showcase the stunts of a new generation of action choreographers to the Chinese people, and David, Chad, and Jonathan need to fight their way through Hollywood.

The team behind Killer: Dragon has officially come together as one at this moment.

"Let's go, let's form a team and go to a live-action simulated battlefield to fight them!"

"I think it works!"

"gogogo!"

The group headed towards the largest shooting range, a place that simulated real combat. They could team up or split into pairs, the goal being to be the last one standing. The weapons weren't real guns, of course, but rather guns with firing mechanisms.

However, the shooting, combat, and other elements are simulated real-world battles, somewhat like live-action CS, and also somewhat like future PUBG.

Everyone had witnessed Chen Jin's impressive performance in the quick-kill arena, so no one had any reservations about teaming up with him; even Guo Fan and Gong Ge'er had already put on their gear and started playing.

The other foreigners were clearly also very interested in Chen Jin. They knew he was very strong, but they still wanted to experience a real gunfight in a team, especially to test Chen Jin's true strength face-to-face.

That guy who looked like a soldier has also brought a team with him.

No one was afraid to face Chen Jin, after all, this was not a real battle, but just a game.

He's strong; killing him would be even more challenging!

These rednecks present were all quite belligerent.

Suddenly, the live-action simulated battlefield became unprecedentedly lively.

……

A few hours later, Chen Jin's team sat there, thoroughly enjoying their barbecue and beer.

They clearly had a blast that day!
In the final live-action simulation, Chen Jin did indeed demonstrate his superhuman strength, but unfortunately, he had a few incompetent teammates, so he couldn't win every time.

However, the repeated gunfights made Chen Jin famous at the shooting range.

Everyone knows he's an actor, and we're looking forward to the release of his upcoming action movie.

The barbecue and beer in front of us were treated by the foreigner who had been following Chen Jin. His name is Ramos, and he is a patrolman in New York State.

He teamed up with his colleagues and friends, and played against Chen Jin the most. They had wins and losses, but Chen Jin's team clearly won more often.

The main reason was Chen Jin's outstanding performance.

"If David hadn't explained it to me repeatedly and shown me your resume, I really would have found it hard to believe that you are an actor!"

"Moreover, he is a world-renowned film emperor!"

Ramos clinked his beer glass against Chen Jin's, and Chen Jin smiled and said, "I have a suggestion, Ramos!"

"what?"

"Do you have time to make a cameo appearance in my new film?"

"My movies need tough guys who know real kung fu!"

Ramos is more than capable of playing a minor gang leader.

"I am very honored!"

"But I can't answer you right now; I need to check my work schedule for next month!"

"certainly……"

"Cheers, my cop buddy!"

Chen Jin picked up her beer glass, and the two of them downed it in one gulp.

"If there's anything I can help you with, just give me a call!"

Ramos spoke very politely. After thinking about it, Chen Jin realized that some filming locations might actually need police to maintain order, so she didn't refuse.

The meal lasted until nightfall, and Ramos and the others were about to head back, so Chen Jin naturally had to go home as well.

Having secured the filming team for "Killer: Dragon," he now had to fully dedicate himself to the filming process.

"Brother Gong, next you and David will work together to produce the call sheet!"

"Chad and I will be casting!"

"Arnold will be in charge of the action design!"

"..."

Chen Jin spoke to everyone in the car, and without any surprise, everyone readily agreed.

After what happened that day, everyone already regarded Chen Jin as the boss.

He was originally an investor, director, and lead actor, and now he has another identity—a friend.

David and the others have already come to regard Chen Jin as a friend. No one would refuse to get to know such a talented future superstar.

More than half an hour later, Chen Jin arrived at their temporary martial arts school base.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Chen Jin walked towards the hotel with Guo Fan and Gong Ge'er.

"Awesome, Director Chen!"

Guo Fan joked around, since it was just the three of them in private now, so of course they could speak freely.

"I admire him too!"

"In just one day, several foreigners were completely impressed by Brother Jin's domineering aura!"

Gong Ge'er was also there, blatantly flattering him.

"Take note!"

Chen Jin didn't mince words, and Guo Fan retorted irritably, "Learn my ass! Do you think a weakling like me could learn this? You're breaking records and racking up kills, who can beat you?"

"But to be honest, I really didn't expect you to take care of David and the others in just one day!"

"I'm worried that once you start filming, these foreigners will embarrass you and cause trouble on set!"

This is a problem that many new directors must face.

Even in China, film crews often try to intimidate new directors, let alone overseas where they are unfamiliar with the place. Hollywood certainly looks down on Chinese people even more.

Especially for a new director who has never made a film before.

Guo Fan actually strongly disapproved of Chen Jin directing her first film, especially since it was shot in Hollywood.

The best path would definitely be to make a name for oneself in mainland China, just like him, perhaps by leveraging past box office success to forcefully suppress the competition.

Even better would be having won three major awards, which would be even more convincing.

Foreigners generally recognize the three major awards, especially the Palme d'Or, Golden Bear, and Golden Lion, which are considered the best passports to Hollywood.

But now, Chen Jin has chosen a path that suits him.

It was difficult, but he completed it quite easily.

"What you've said is exactly what I'm worried about!"

"That's why I had Sun Nuo gather the team first. David and Chad are seasoned veterans; if they assemble the team, we'll definitely listen to them!"

"Once we get them on board, the film crew can have some peace and quiet!"

As Chen Jin spoke, Guo Fan immediately gave him a thumbs up: "Brother Jin, great job!"

"Brother Jin is tough!"

"Director Chen is both tall and strong!"

Guo Fan and Gong Ge'er chimed in, but Chen Jin sighed and said, "This is just the preparation before filming starts. Being a new director is really tough!"

"Now you know being a director isn't easy, right?"

"Hollywood is a hellish place, it's even harder for directors!"

In China, the system is director-centric, with the top leader holding a dominant position; while in Hollywood, many directors are simply employees.

"So if your movie really succeeds!"

Guo Fan put his arm around Chen Jin's shoulder: "You are one of the few Hollywood directors in China!"

"Alright, stop flattering me!"

"Let's talk about that after filming is over. We haven't even started filming yet, and I have absolutely no idea what to expect!"

"Just show the same skill you displayed in today's quick-kill arena..."

"hehe!"

Chen Jin spat in Guo Fan's face: "If making movies were as simple as shooting, that would be great!"

"Beg me, and I'll teach you!"

Guo Fantian spoke shamelessly, and Chen Jin chuckled: "Why don't you direct, and I'll just be an actor?"

"roll roll roll……"

Guo Fan had read the script for "Killer: Dragon," and this was something that not just any director could make.

Even with Chen Jin, the perfect protagonist, it wouldn't work.

It wasn't that filming was difficult; it was that Guo Fan never even considered filming it.

Such a sudden start usually results in a poorly made film.

Chen Jin had been preparing for this for a long time, so he was focused on this movie. Guo Fan, on the other hand, was preoccupied with science fiction.

"Keep it up, bro!"

Guo Fan, unusually serious, said to Chen Jin, "If you need my help, just let me know!"

"Yes, I will!"

"I will definitely make this movie well, and then I'll make a comeback in China!"

"This time, it's not just about being the box office champion!"

Instead, it's about disrupting the order.

To break the existing order of the domestic film industry and establish new norms.

If Huayi can be the top dog, why can't CETC?!
