How did I become famous?

Chapter 190 Open the Gate! IRS! (Second update, 6500+ words completed! Requesting votes!)

"Shit! Is this even human?"

"Fuck! Does Fang mean we have to do this too?"

After Ip Man, the "tool man," and his two junior brothers started to take action, the group of foreigners who had never seen the world were dumbfounded.

You're telling me that a flying kick that makes someone jump over two meters high is normal?

Is it really okay if someone is punched and tumbles 720 degrees in the air?

Is it really okay to kick someone several meters away?

Anyway, Xiao Fu and his friends felt that if they went up and took that kind of beating, they would be dead.

But these Chinese people jumped up, dusted themselves off, and acted like nothing had happened.

Most importantly, their fighting moves are really cool!

Several people even compared the storyboards with Fang Bie's and found that the actions of these Chinese people were really perfect!

The group exchanged glances, swallowed hard, and remained silent.

Ip Man came over and cupped his hands in greeting: "Director Fong, how was it?"

Fang shrugged: "That's fine. Master Ye, if you're not too busy, how about you help out as stunt doubles for a while? Money is no problem, there's always someone willing to pay. It'll be good training for you guys, you might get a lead role in a movie later."

Fang Bie is just making empty promises.

Since my own movies are inexplicably being treated as superhero movies, how can they be without the "big events" that are essential for superhero movies?

If there is a "major event", can all the main characters from the previous movies make an appearance?

For example, something like "XXX Alliance", right?

Anyway, let's draw up the picture first, and we'll see when we can actually eat it later.

Once the games take off, making a movie is just a matter of making something casually for fun.

Once the deal was finalized, the filming schedule accelerated dramatically.

After all, whether it's a "robber," a "police officer," or a "bank employee," they all acted very well.

Even Liu Mang privately remarked to Fang Bie, "Old Fang, although I don't want to be a Western worshipper, I have to say their acting was really good, almost like they were playing themselves. There wasn't even any room for you to give them pointers on their acting."

Back then, whether it was Yan Shuangying, Kira Yoshikage, Chen Yongren, or Ip Man, they all improved their acting skills with the help of Fang Bie.

But these foreigners really acted well.

Even the extras and background actors are just as good!

The only potential problem is that these extras and background actors have a poor sense of camera presence.

But after all, it was just a minor role, nothing important.

After three days of intense and demanding filming, the scenes in the snowy town have successfully wrapped up.

No wonder this is Minnesota, where Qiang Ge fought! The snow just hasn't stopped!

Filming proceeded as planned, and then... the story finally reached Hollywood.

Michael's daughter participates in a superhero talent show but is asked to accept unspoken rules. When she refuses, she is imprisoned and abused, and then Tom and others come to rescue her.

Then another question arises: how do we borrow Hollywood's venue?

Don't be sad anymore.

"Don't worry! We have plenty of funds. We can just build a 1:1 scale filming location!"

Franklin comforted him from the side.

Shaflin, with a cigar in his mouth and a glass of red wine in his hand, laughed: "No need, Fang, we'll take people to the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood to film tomorrow."

The Hollywood Dolby Theatre is located on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

This is also the venue for the Oscars.

As the saying goes, the Oscars red carpet is walked here.

After listening to Franklin's translation, Fang Bie frowned: "But will those people in Hollywood allow us to use that place?"

Franklin translated his words into English as they were true: "Mr. Saffolin said that those people in Hollywood don't welcome him, so let's just forget about it. They won't lend him the space to film."

Shaflin laughed: "It's alright, I have some connections with the head of the IRS, I believe he'll be willing to give me face."

What a joke! The IRS boss is personally leading the filming! Who would dare to stop him?

Should we ask the armed forces under the IRS about their long guns and cannons?

As an honest translator, Franklin perfectly translated Lord Saffolin's words: "Fang, Mr. Saffolin said it's completely OK. Just take people there tomorrow. He has some connections in Hollywood, so they'll give him face."

Don't be skeptical.

But with nothing to lose, he led a large group of men to the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood the next day.

Inside a military armored vehicle, Fang Bie glanced bewildered at the masked, heavily armed soldiers beside him and whispered, "Xiao Fu, who are these people?"

Franklin grinned slightly, revealing eight pearly white teeth: "They were all extras found through connections, don't worry about the details."

Fang Bie: "."

Where on earth can you find extras with such a fierce and imposing presence?

And that gun! That bulletproof vest! That camouflage paint! That armored vehicle!

You could tell I'd believe you even if you said it was a real gun!

These guys must be part of the military!

And does Hollywood even need such extras for this scene?

Hmm, it seems there really is.

After all, when the show was going on in Hollywood, there would be mercenaries hired by the capitalists played by Sir Shaflin who would come to their deaths, just to highlight Michael Trevor's ruthlessness.

Shaking his head, Fang Bie couldn't help but sigh, "I must say, Xiao Fu, the quality of your extras is truly impressive! And the props are amazing! It's a real difference! I heard that in Hollywood, prop guns aren't even as cheap as real guns. You didn't buy these outdated weapons from some military unit, did you?"

Capitalist societies do have their advantages, that much is undeniable.

Franklin smiled but remained silent upon hearing this.

In an office at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Mr. Jamie from Columbia is talking with friends from several other companies.

"Didn't any of you secretly contact that young man from the East?"

He was really suspicious.

That Asian man has been out of the public eye for a long time now, and the media has not seen him or his team leave the country, but he has also been nowhere to be seen in Hollywood.

There's only one possibility now: someone from the Eight has betrayed everyone! They've secretly contacted that young man to try and win him over!

His sharp, hawk-like eyes swept across the faces of the others.

But none of us are vegetarians, so who would be afraid of him?

Some people said, "Although we eight are competitors, no one will break the rules in this matter."

In reality, someone will definitely break the rules, but the prerequisite is that the other party has the right to make them break the rules.

In their view, Fang Bie was clearly not qualified.

Jamie frowned: "Then why haven't we heard from him? Unless someone secretly promised to hide him, who could possibly escape our notice?"

"Many people can evade us: some in the FBI, some in the CIA, and some in the IRS."

Someone else laughed: "Jamie, you're not saying that the Asian man will be protected by people from these three places, are you? Aren't they afraid that the Eastern country will get angry?"

That's right, in this world, China is somewhat invincible.

That country is mysterious, but powerful enough.

Although it hasn't been used much for half a century, no one dares to provoke it.

For example, a few years ago a country provoked someone, and as a result, the bananas exported to that country were seized by customs.

Customs said the bananas had quality issues and needed to be inspected carefully.

Then they conducted the check-up for over a month.

Keep in mind that it was the hottest summer day!

More than a month!

The bananas have all gone rotten!

Then the other party said, "Your bananas are all rotten! And you say there's no problem with the quality? Take them all back!"

That's how awesome it is.

After a few light laughs, someone frowned and said, "According to my informant, the IRS has been very active lately, and people are frequently being transferred out, but I haven't heard of any guy falling into their hands."

Jamie laughed: "Are you saying they'd help that Asian guy? Haha! Don't be ridiculous! That Asian guy is young and arrogant. If the IRS really helped him, he would have already brought his men to kick down the door! Besides, although the media has been hyping it up as if the IRS chief is an undercover agent sent by that country, everyone knows it's just a normal smear campaign, and nobody takes it seriously."

"What if that Easterner really does bring people?"

"What a joke! That young man is probably looking everywhere for someone to negotiate peace with us!" Jamie scoffed. "If he actually manages to find someone to invest in his movie, not only will he come knocking on our door, I swear I'll never have sex again!"

dong dong dong——!

Before he could finish speaking, the office door was violently pushed open.

The flamboyant secretary, her face pale, stumbled in: "Someone's here!"

Before Jamie could ask what was going on, he saw the secretary being kicked to the ground from behind, and then a large group of heavily armed soldiers rushed in!

Dozens of dark gun barrels were pointed at the heads of everyone present. Then, a burly man, also heavily armed, slowly walked in and said calmly, "Kneel down! Put your hands behind your heads! The IRS has received reliable information that you gentlemen are suspected of tax evasion. Please come with us."

Hearing the occasional stomping of the door and shouts of "Open the door! IRS is collecting taxes!" coming from outside, Jamie and the others knelt on the ground, looking at each other in bewilderment.

What the hell is going on?!

"What the hell is going on?"

Fang Bie murmured aloud.

He felt like he was about to break down mentally.

He said that was wrong!

Where else do you see extras with such good equipment? And their efficiency! And their command!

Those who know the situation would think you're filming a movie, while those who don't would think you're conducting an anti-terrorism drill!

Fang Bie stood there dumbfounded.

Xiao Fu nudged him with his elbow: "Fang! Fang! What are you standing there for?"

Fang stared at him blankly.

Xiao Fu spoke very quickly: "Hurry up and get your people filming! This is all footage!"

Fang Bie opened his mouth and waved his hand, signaling the equally dumbfounded Nie Fang and the others to get moving.

Then he sighed: "Xiao Fu, tell me the truth, are you hiding something from me?"

Franklin broke out in a cold sweat, forcing a smile, "How could that be? We're brothers!"

Fang Bie stroked his chin, looking at him suspiciously: "Aren't these people just mercenaries you hired from outside? And you're planning to rob Hollywood under the guise of making a movie? Let me tell you, Xiao Fu, we're Chinese! You can't use us as shields! Our country will only save us, not you!"

He got it!

Based on the clues above, the Los Santos trio must have been involved in illegal business in the past!

They might be causing trouble again this time!

They want to use their Chinese film crew as a cover! Then they'll plunder Hollywood!

Franklin was also stunned. What exactly was Fang talking about?

"No, they're just actors."

Fang Bie chuckled and said, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

He pointed to the group of middle-aged men in suits ahead, trembling and clutching their heads under the gun barrels as they walked out: "Are they actors too?"

He had seen these guys at the last Oscars ceremony!

Hmm? Now that you mention it, maybe they really are actors?

Sigh. I always feel like this movie has been plagued with problems since the very beginning of filming.

Franklin's eyes widened: "Fang, look me in the eye! We Black people never lie!"

Fang Bie: "."
