Huayu is here for you

Chapter 122 Luo Jin: You're really my good boss

Lin Yu, who was filming at the time, was a little surprised by the box office results. "Hehe—the publicity and premiere weren't a waste of money! But—Old Han is probably going to lose even more money."

As Lin Yu predicted, the public's opinion of "Twilight" plummeted from the second week onwards, and it was impossible to suppress the decline.

"What kind of garbage is this? Are you sure this is Director Lin's movie? It's way worse than his previous films!"

"Are you blind?! This is just a movie produced by Director Lin's company, not directed by Director Lin himself. Why are you constantly dragging him into this?"

"Twilight failed to resonate with the Chinese audience! Reviews plummeted!"

"Director Lin! Is 'The Witch' finished filming yet? Hurry up and release some trailers to cleanse our eyes!"

Surrounded by a barrage of negative reports, Twilight's box office was halved in its second week, barely breaking ten million. Old Han was heartbroken and trembling with fear.

At this rate, breaking 100 million? Don't even think about it. 40 or 50 million might be something to consider.

Meanwhile, on the set of Lin Yu's "The Witch," they were filming the final scene: a one-on-one fight between Miss Liu and Luo Jin—or rather, a scene where Miss Liu brutally beats Luo Jin and slaps him!

All the other fight scenes have been filmed, and Lin Yu is now editing the footage as he films.

The challenging "Great Melee" and Liu's "darkening" scenes really wasted a lot of Lin Yu's time. From the week before "Twilight" was released to the third week of its release, these two scenes took almost a whole month to film. But thankfully, they've finally finished them.

Moreover, since all the other actors except for Miss Liu and Luo Jin had basically finished filming their scenes and were just waiting for the wrap party, the spot next to the director's monitor was no longer exclusively Lin Yu's. Several key members of the production team who were waiting for the wrap party had also quietly gathered behind Lin Yu, making Lin Yu feel a little helpless.

"Why are you all crowding around me? We've finally finished filming, why don't we go out for a walk? What are you all doing here?"

'

"Hehe—Director Lin, how many times have we been to Hengdian? There's been no improvement. We just want to see you make a movie!"

'

"Yes, Director Lin, we will definitely keep quiet and won't disturb you."

"Yes, Director Lin, let us watch and learn more!"

"Stop! If you want to stay here, then stay put. Your noise is making my ears hurt. But let's get this straight, don't make a sound, otherwise—even if the movie does well after its release, you won't get your red envelopes." Lin Yu picked at his ear, somewhat annoyed, and said, "Okay, Director Lin!"

"No problem, Director Lin."

After everyone swore to remain silent, Lin Yu picked up the walkie-talkie again.

"All departments, prepare—Go!"

After giving the instructions, Lin Yu, along with everyone else, kept a close eye on the monitor once all departments of the crew were in operation.

Luo Jin, on the field, first dusted himself off, then glanced at the empty ground to his right.

Although there were no actors next to Luo Jin at this time, Ning Jing was actually lying there in the film, and Huang Bo's brief appearance and pretentious act for only three seconds had also been filmed and was waiting for Lin Yu to edit them together in post-production.

"Hehe—it's been so many years, you seem to have gotten a bit more formidable." Miss Liu also rose casually from her seat, dusting herself off as well. "I should have killed you back then."

"Is that so? If that's the case, you wouldn't be dying at my hands today." Luo Jin sneered, "You really are as talkative as ever!"

"Ha! You wretched woman! It's no use regretting it now. I'm not the same person I was back then."

Miss Liu looked at Luo Jin with a smile: "Hehe, is that so?"

Then Ms. Liu made a moving gesture.

Lin Yu, who was sitting in front of the monitor, also stopped filming when he saw this.

"Cut! Sissi, we've changed seats."

After the machine resumed filming, Ms. Liu, who was already standing next to Luo Jin, slapped him directly against the wall.

"Damn it—"

After being stunned for a moment, Luo Jin, who had been slapped against the wall, angrily retaliated against Miss Liu.

Unfortunately, the gap was too large, and in less than two seconds, Miss Liu grabbed him by the neck and pressed him against the wall again.

"Cut! Props team, put Luo Jin on the wire!"

Lin Yu seemed to be having good luck today. Both Miss Liu and Luo Jin performed quite steadily, and this fight scene between the two of them basically didn't need to be reshot more than three times, which made Lin Yu feel a little happy.

However, luck is just luck, and it will eventually run out. Before Lin Yu could even feel happy, his scene was cut short.

"Director Lin, how about we let Yifei have a real fight?"

After being stuck seven times, Luo Jin couldn't take it anymore. He gritted his teeth and spoke directly into the camera—

:

After all, every time he takes a retake, he has to quickly twist his neck several times, and now he feels like his neck is about to cramp up.

Lin Yu, who was watching the monitor and preparing to start over, put down his walkie-talkie after hearing Luo Jin's words. After hesitating for a moment, he got up and walked out of the room next to Luo Jin.

"Are you sure?" Lin Yu looked at Luo Jin and slowly said, "You need to know—if this scene is filmed live, then Qianqian's strength is not to be underestimated."

"I'm sure, Director Lin." Luo Jin said without the slightest hesitation.

Then he turned to look at Miss Liu, "Yifei, don't worry about the injection later. It's better to get it over with quickly than to suffer for a long time. If you do a good job, I'll grit my teeth and we'll get it done in one go. If you hesitate, then I'll be the one who suffers!"

Looking at Luo Jin's expression as if he were about to be executed, Miss Liu felt a little reluctant and asked, "Are you really going to hit him?"

How about we try again?

"Go ahead and hit her, Qianqian. Don't waste Lao Luo's good intentions. But—you still need to be careful later, don't let her really get hurt." Lin Yu looked at Luo Jin and then said to Miss Liu, "It's okay, Director Lin, just let Yifei hit me without worry. I'm thick-skinned and can take it! Even if Yifei is a female warrior, she won't send me to the hospital with just two slaps!" Luo Jin thought Lin Yu was worried about him, so he jokingly laughed with Lin Yu.

"Huh? Lao Luo, don't misunderstand, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about Xixi. I'm worried that Xixi might have hurt her hand." Lin Yu looked like he didn't understand what he was talking about.

Luo Jin: "??? You're such a great boss!"
