Chapter 122: What Kungfu Represents!

“Director Li, that’s all I ask for. To be honest, me being here is showing you respect. With such a trashy lineup for this movie… hehe. I’d normally just ignore it. Although with your sincere begging, it’s not good for me to just reject it outright.” Wu Han bragged haughtily. “It’s rather late now. I need to go home for my beauty sleep. Let me know your decision quickly.”

“Young Master Wu, we—”

“Hold it!”

Ye Lingchen cut Li Tai off, walking forward slowly and sizing up Wu Han, “You want RMB10,000,000 appearance fee?”

Wu Han looked at Ye Lingchen, frowned slightly and scoffed, “Who are you?”

“I’m hired by Y to interview the actors.”

“Since when some bug like you have the right to speak with me?” Wu Han harrumphed. “RMB10,000,000. Not a cent less!”

“I wonder, why do you think you’re worth RMB10,000,000?” Ye Lingchen gave Wu Han a skeptical look.

“Hahaha, what an ignorant bumpkin!” The fatty beside Wu Han laughed hard as though he just heard a joke. “Why, you ask? I’ll show you why!”

Having said that, the people around Wu Han made a clearing around him while Wu Han stood arms akimbo with a prideful expression on his face, striking a cool pose for all to see.

“Look at those flawless features. Be it frontal, sideways, top-down, or bottom-up, every angle is perfect. Now take a look at that physique. Tch tch tch, definitely a dream bod for millions of girls, an Oppa!” The fatty praised with all his breath. “He’s the chosen one of the heavens, a perfect work of art, one that will make countless women scream in ecstasy!”

Meanwhile, in Ye Lingchen’s eyes, Wu Han looked like a dead fish that gave off a gloomy aura. The femininity was too much for him to bear. Under the moonlight, he might even pass off as a woman cross-dressing as a man.

How the h*ll did this person pass as a popular celebrity? Could it be that the sexuality of Chinese women was slowly changing?

“Give me an angry look, please,” Ye Lingchen asked blankly.

Wu Han stayed still and slightly creased his brows.

“Next can you show me a sad expression?”

Wu Han remained still, maintained the same pose, and pouted his lips.

“Next, can you show me how to act proud?”

Still maintaining the same pose, Wu Han straightened his back slightly.

Horrible!

Absolutely horrible!

Ye Lingchen almost broke out in laughter. With such a paralyzed facial expression, this person dared to act in a movie?

Asking for RMB10,000,000 right off the bat?

What year was it?

The entire filming budget for Huo Yuanjia’s was only around RMB20,000,000. Ye Lingchen alone invested RMB10,000,000.

Now he had to pay half the budget to hire that sissy with a paralyzed face? What kind of movie were they going to film? A film to watch this sissy pose?

“That’s it. Get lost!” Ye Lingchen waved his hand impatiently.

“What did you say?”

That was perhaps the one time Wu Han was at his most expressive. His eyes bulged wide open, giving Ye Lingchen a bewildered look, unable to believe his hearing.

“I said, get lost!”

“F*ck! You asking for death, kid? How dare you show such insolence towards Young Master Wu?!” The fatty was furious. “F*cker, we can ruin your movie with a mere statement!”

“Young Master Wu’s acting skills earlier were awesome. Just based on his looks alone, charging you RMB10,000,000 is considered low! How dare you turn him away? Are you jealous of Young Master Wu’s unrivaled looks?”

“Sigh, jealousy is the bane of many.”

“How dare he treat Young Master Wu like that. Countless die-hard fans of Young Master Wu will make sure you regret this!”

Wu Han maintained his cool pose and looked towards Li Tai, “I didn’t expect your crew to have such a dumb*ss. It’ll ruin my reputation to be a team with such a person. Now the price is RMB20,000,000!”

Li Tai stole a discreet glance at Ye Lingchen, feeling trapped in a difficult situation.

Ye Lingchen instead showed a gentle smile as he walked forward, “Do you know what is Kungfu? Someone like you wants to be in a Kungfu Movie?”

“I don’t give a damn about Kungfu. Didn’t I already mention that? Everything that involves physical contact will be done by the stuntman. I’ll just be standing here.”

“Then let me show you what Kungfu is!”

Concluding his sentence, Ye Lingchen pulled out a punch, right at Wu Han’s face!

Bang!

The blade-like wind from his fist hurtled past Wu Han’s cheeks. The lightning speed fist grazed his face and landed directly onto the bark of a tree beside him!

Ye Lingchen’s gaze was like that of a blade, staring coldly at Wu Han, “This, is real Kungfu!”

Wu Han’s legs were trembling and he stared at Ye Lingchen with horror in his eyes. Finally, he fell to the floor with a thud, unable to move an inch, mumbling incoherently to himself.

Ye Lingchen gave a disappointing look at Wu Han, then turned around and left.

‘To think my great country holds this person as an idol. If everyone followed his example and shamelessly celebrated such traits, how would they protect the country in the future?!’

“Young Master Wu, are you okay? Get up quick, the floor is chilly.” The people around him quickly came to help him up with a concerned look on their faces.

“Bring me home quick, I miss my Mommy…” Wu Han was quickly carried away as he could not stand.

Li Tai and Xiao Feifei traded looks, both were deeply worried about the situation.

“Lingchen, I know you don’t like Wu Han, but… he’s a popular male celebrity with many fans,” Xiao Feifei advised.

“Even if he were more popular, I will not let such a person take part in my movie!” Ye Lingchen shook his head.

“Brother Ye, I know you don’t like him, but the current trend is all about these young stars now. It’s a time where people focus on their looks. Only with the presence of these sorts of celebrities will our box office sales be guaranteed,” Li Tai sighed as he explained.

“If I need to depend on young upstarts to maintain my box office sales, I would rather not make the movie!” Ye Lingchen said firmly, “Furthermore I don’t trust those upstarts to boost my box office sales. They have nothing that I’m looking for, failure of a man! I will prove to everyone that this is not the era of little fresh meats!”

 Xiao Feifei bit her lips, “Wu Han is supported by a lot of die-hard fans. I’m worried that they might come after you.”

“Sister Feifei, you don’t have to worry about that. I’m not at the level where I’ll be afraid of a sissy’s revenge.” Ye Lingchen answered with a smile.

Following that, they continued some discussions about the movie before they went home separately.

Ye Lingchen was still thinking of who to pick for the lead actor’s role. Huo Yuanjia’s requirements were too strict, making it difficult to find a candidate.

On his way out of Hengdian Studios, he suddenly stopped. He heard some low muffled sounds.

It should be the sound of someone hitting a training dummy.

At that time, other than some filming crews shooting nighttime scenes, Hengdian Studios was as empty as it could be.

Ye Lingchen followed the sound to its source, just to see a topless man standing in a stance under a tree continually hitting the trunk with his hand and elbow. His body was not buff, but the muscles on him were well-toned, giving him a determined appearance…
