Chapter 257 One-Man Rule! Ruthless

Although the assistant director kept trying to persuade him, the actor insisted on his own ideas.

He absolutely insisted on using a stunt double for this scene!

All sorts of dissatisfactions had already piled up in his heart.

He had never seen such a demanding production crew!

Wasn't each of them, these young heartthrobs, a treasured darling who was properly treated in previous productions?

Putting aside other things, it was just using a stunt double!

The actor really couldn't understand why Lu Xuan was being so stubborn.

So, he simply sat aside, waiting for Lu Xuan to come over.

When Lu Xuan arrived on set, he immediately saw the assistant director standing next to an actor with a wry smile.

The entire crew's work had ground to a halt because of this.

Lu Xuan's temper flared up!

He had originally planned to finish filming *Hero* as quickly as possible, as he had many other plans lined up.

But looking at the situation, the crew hadn't gotten any work done all morning!

He strode over and asked, "What's going on? Did we get through that scene from last night?"

Seeing Lu Xuan, the young heartthrob who had been sitting aside awkwardly stood up from his chair.

He didn't know why, but he felt a sense of fear like a mouse seeing a cat whenever he saw Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan glanced at the actor, not saying a word, simply waiting for the assistant director to reply.

Seeing Lu Xuan's expression, the assistant director felt a little numb, but he still bit the bullet and said, "He wants to use a stunt double for this scene. I'm trying to work things out with him. His intentions are good; he doesn't want to delay the crew's schedule…"

"Alright, I understand!" Lu Xuan interrupted the assistant director and looked at the actor. "Do you insist on finding a stunt double now?"

Faced with Lu Xuan's question, the actor knew that what he was doing wasn't right, but he still nodded stubbornly.

Lu Xuan stared straight into his eyes and said, "I'll ask you one more time, do you insist on finding a stunt double?"

Everyone else present didn't dare to breathe loudly, standing aside and silently watching how things would develop.

Seeing the actor standing there, his intentions were already very clear. Lu Xuan was so angry that he laughed. He turned to the assistant director and said, "I'm going to have to trouble you today. Find all of his scenes and find someone with better acting skills to reshoot them all!"

"As for you, you can leave now. You've violated the contract we signed. As for the subsequent situation, I will contact your agency!"

Lu Xuan quickly and decisively arranged everything. He clapped his hands and said to the others who were still standing there dumbfounded, "Everyone, perk up! Our film is at its final stage, don't let anyone fall behind."

"Get to your positions, let's get to work!"

With Lu Xuan's command, the huge crew immediately started operating. The actor stood there dumbfounded, not quite understanding what was happening.

"Was I just fired?"

He was actually just seeing that Lu Xuan was eager to complete filming, intending to cause a little trouble on set to see if he could make things easier for himself.

This matter was something he had discussed with a few other young heartthrobs who had debuted through talent shows.

They said that as long as he took the lead, the others would immediately follow.

Originally, this kind of thing was actually very common in production crews.

After all, the director was constrained by investors and other parties and couldn't do whatever he wanted.

They, the young heartthrobs pushed out by these investors, could naturally rely on the investors to seek some benefits.

But he never expected that the trick that was usually so effective had failed today!

The people who had discussed it with him before were nowhere to be seen now, all pretending to be busy and hiding to the side.

And the assistant director was really following Lu Xuan's instructions, selecting an actor to replace him.

He stood there dumbfounded, as if everyone couldn't see him.

Now he panicked and immediately found Lu Xuan.

"Director Lu, I was just confused for a moment. I've calmed down now, please give me another chance!"

"I will definitely put in twelve times the effort!"

Lu Xuan didn't even turn his head, directly saying, "You are an adult. When adults do things, they should consider what consequences those things will bring!"

"Seeing as you've been in the crew for so long, I'll give you one more piece of advice: Adults should learn to pay for their actions!"

"Someone, take him away, don't affect the normal operation of the crew!"

After speaking, he didn't turn his head and continued filming.

With just a few words from Lu Xuan, the actor was escorted out.

For a time, the production crew was as quiet as a graveyard.

No one had expected Lu Xuan to have such great courage to do such a thing.

You had to know that he had expressed his concerns about the filming progress not long ago.

But he directly replaced a minor character in the movie and reshot all the scenes.

It made some people who had ill intentions feel like they had narrowly escaped a disaster.

Next, the filming progress of the crew suddenly became incredibly smooth.

All the actors put in twelve times the effort, fearing that they might offend Lu Xuan.

The small problem was solved, but the filming progress didn't change much.

Li Jie, who played Wuming (Nameless), had a problem.

A scene with Chen Daoming was repeatedly shot dozens of times, but none of them satisfied Lu Xuan.

Li Jie was one of the earliest martial arts actors, and he had real skills!

Whether it was his character image or his stage presence, Li Jie was very suitable for this role.

But when paired with Chen Daoming, the two of them couldn't produce the kind of chemical reaction they should have.

Although the assistant director thought the scene was already good enough, Lu Xuan was still not satisfied.

After continuous attempts, Lu Xuan even made some small adjustments to the script on the spot, but it still didn't work.

For the sake of progress, the filming of this scene had to be temporarily stopped.

Fortunately, apart from this incident, there were no other troublesome matters.

The filming progress of *Hero* could be described as changing at a pace visible to the naked eye.

Su Yao was writing her novel on the side, occasionally coming to Lu Xuan's side to sprinkle dog food (show affection) to everyone in the crew.

A day quickly passed.

The crew wrapped up, and Lu Xuan planned to take Su Yao to set off fireworks.

While packing up, Li Jie, with a face full of apology, took the initiative to come to his door.

"Director Lu, I'm really very sorry about the scene today, but I really don't know how to perform the feeling you want."

"Do you think you could guide me a little now?"

"I would really feel bad if I delayed the progress of the entire crew because of me!"

As soon as Li Jie came up, he directly stated his attitude.
