Huayu Shen Gongbao

Chapter 10: Group Evolution into a Substitute?

After Collin Chou was carried away, the film crew temporarily restored order.

Shen Gongbao stayed for a while longer, but seeing that everyone kept their distance from him, he left first.

On the way back to the hotel, Li Xue was very excited and kept chattering.

"You're amazing! You single-handedly took on the entire crew, leaving Jackie Chan speechless. Even Collin Chou, who broke his leg, had to apologize to you. I was completely dumbfounded!"

Li Xue's mood fluctuated greatly today.

When she first learned that Shen Gongbao was going to be bullied, she was very anxious, but Shen Gongbao comforted her and told her not to worry and to wait for the performance.

I never expected Shen Gongbao to be so amazing, putting on such a grand show!

Women all like capable men, and Li Xue liked Shen Gongbao more and more as she looked at him.

Shen Gongbao sighed and said, "This is just the beginning. I need to be careful of retaliation."

"No way, would they dare retaliate against you?"

"There's nothing I wouldn't dare to do. These people have bullied plenty of people." Shen Gongbao thought for a moment and said, "I even tricked a conman before. If they find that conman, or impersonate the conman's team to retaliate against me, who can explain that?"

Shen Gongbao's words were not without basis, and Li Xue was clearly flustered after hearing them.

"What should we do then?"

"Luckily, I learned martial arts and have some ability to protect myself, but you are in danger."

For safety's sake, from now on, you shouldn't be separated from me, and we should stay together at night.

"It's just as Xiao Bin left, so I have an extra bed in my standard room."

Li Xue: "..."

"I'm serious, I'm not joking. Besides, you got your period yesterday, so I can't do anything I want."

Li Xue got her period yesterday, May 2nd.

Shen Gongbao also understood why Li Xue was particularly proactive on the night of May Day.

Two days before a woman's period, she is more prone to sexual urges due to physiological reasons.

Shen Gongbao was not in a hurry regarding Li Xue's situation.

His original plan was to take advantage of Li Xue's reluctance to part with her on her last day in Hengdian.

Even if my period comes, it's still on time.

It's not convenient to take the final step right now, so let's just do some preliminary work and warm things up first.

If you arouse Li Xue's desire, she will become impatient in a few days, and then the snow cabbage will be even more delicious.

Seeing Shen Gongbao's serious expression, Li Xue was also afraid of being retaliated against.

She nodded and said, "I'll do as you say, I'll move in tonight."

After Li Xue agreed, she thought Shen Gongbao would be happy, but he remained expressionless.

"What are you still worried about?"

"I had a good time arguing with people today, but I also offended Jackie Chan and the Jackie Chan Stunt Team, which will make it even harder for me to work on film sets in the future."

Seeing that Shen Gongbao was unhappy, Li Xue also felt sad, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

But Shen Gongbao said, "A man's frustration is like a deflated balloon; just blow it up and it's fine."

Li Xue was stunned for three seconds before she understood what he meant.

She laughed and playfully slapped Shen Gongbao, saying coquettishly, "You're so naughty! You never tell the truth, and you just said you couldn't do anything!"

After saying that, Li Xue blushed and tied her hair into a ponytail.

Men have worked hard to win battles outside, and now it's time for women to step up and give them the best reward!

Back at the hotel, Li Xue opened the refrigerator door, took out an ice pop, and started licking it.

It was her first time eating this kind of popsicle, and she was a little clumsy, but luckily Shen Gongbao was there for her.

I explained the popsicle to her and how to eat it. In the end, she swallowed the whole popsicle and ate the filling inside.

Looking down at the alluring Li Xue, Shen Gongbao noticed a hint of natural swagger amidst her youthful sweetness, making her increasingly likable.

Although the White Tiger was sealed in Blood Gorge and unable to take the final step, there were still other fun aspects to it.

This is where the advantages of standard rooms become apparent, as the separation of wet and dry areas is very convenient.

……

Just as Shen Gongbao was celebrating with Li Xue, the Kung Fu King crew also finished filming for the day.

Jackie Chan and Jet Li convened a meeting with the production team.

Jackie Chan, with a serious expression, spoke first: "I have given a strict order to everyone in the Jackie Chan Stunt Team: the crew is not allowed to cause any more trouble."

I also hope that you will all restrain your respective teams and prevent today's incident from happening again.

The main reason for calling this meeting is to discuss the character of Jade Warrior.

Ah Xing's test results came back: he had a tibial fracture and needed open reduction surgery, requiring at least six months of recovery.

Who should replace the role of Jade Emperor? Do you have any recommendations?

Once the film crew starts work, every day is money.

Collin Chou is injured and unable to act anymore, so the production team cannot stop filming and wait for him.

We need to come up with an alternative solution as soon as possible.

But after Jackie Chan finished speaking, no one said anything.

Because Li Lianjie didn't speak.

To put it simply, the Kung Fu King project was a joint effort between Jet Li and Jackie Chan, who even established a project company together.

In the entire production crew, only Li and his partner had the final say; no one else could influence the decision.

Seeing that Jet Li remained silent, Jackie Chan pondered for a moment and then said, "How about we get Joe Chen to play the role?"

Ah Zu is Wu Yanzu, an artist signed with Jackie Chan's agency, JC Group.

Wu Yanzu is a good actor who has played villains before, and he is also very skilled in martial arts. Casting him as the God of War is a great choice.

JC Group has recently been in turmoil, with conflicts arising between one of its founders, Chen Ziqiang, executive Su Lun, and Lin Fengjiao, who is behind Su Lun.

Wu Yanzu does not want to take sides and has informed Jackie Chan in advance that he will not renew his contract after it expires at the end of the year.

Therefore, Jackie Chan is not very willing to provide resources for Daniel Wu.

However, the situation was urgent, so Wu Yanzu had to take over.

Upon hearing Jackie Chan's words, Jet Li nodded and said, "Brother's arrangements are very appropriate, I have no objections. When will Wu Yanzu arrive?"

Jackie Chan said, "Ah Zu is filming the movie Paradise, which will take at least a month. In the meantime, we will film other people's scenes."

If there are any scenes where the Jade Emperor's role is unavoidable, use a stunt double first, and then have Ah Zu reshoot them later.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Heping, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "A-Zu is 1.86 meters tall and has a rather large build, so it will be difficult to find a stunt double for him."

None of these members of Jackie Chan's stunt team are suitable.

I have a very bold idea!

Li Lianjie and Yuan Heping had an excellent relationship, and Li Lianjie immediately replied, "Eighth Master, please speak freely."

Yuan Heping then said, "Shen Gongbao knows boxing. He is about the same height as Azu. It would be best for him to be Azu's stand-in."

There are two reasons:

First, the production crew needs a suitable stunt double to ensure the filming schedule and save money.

Secondly, we must keep Shen Gongbao in check and ensure he stays with the crew.

Think about it, if Shen Gongbao leaves in a couple of days, can you feel at ease? Aren't you afraid he'll go around spreading rumors?

Giving Shen Gongbao some benefits and keeping him on the set is the safest way to completely quell this incident.

After Yuan Heping said this, the scene fell silent for a moment.

Then Li Lianjie exclaimed, "As expected of the Eighth Master, the old fox is still the spicier, and you are so thoughtful!"

I think this is a good suggestion, what about you?

Jackie Chan thought about it and agreed that Yuan Heping's words made sense.

I watched Shen Gongbao box today, and he was indeed powerful and swift. He would be a perfect stuntman.

Moreover, they did need to keep Shen Gongbao on set to feel more at ease, keeping a dangerous person under their watchful eye.

Even Jackie Chan had a vague idea that was more radical.

But he suppressed it for the time being.

Jackie Chan finally made the decision: "Master Eight's suggestion is acceptable, but we'll need to trouble you, Brother Jie, to communicate with Shen Gongbao. This kid might not be willing to be a stunt double."

He's a fan of yours and is willing to give you face.

Li Lianjie smiled and said confidently, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
