"Really, really?" Lin Tao originally felt a little sad about his cut hair, but when he heard these words, his eyes changed instantly, as if a ball of blazing flame was burning in them.

The light was so dazzling that Lin Dong, who was sitting in the director's chair, couldn't help but feel angry and amused.

You know, in the Lin family, all children who are underage and have not been assigned a job will receive a full HK$3,000 in pocket money every month.

This money was all provided by Lin Dong out of his own pocket, and no matter how many children there are in the family, as long as they meet the requirements, they can receive it, and they can receive it from the moment they are born.

However, there is an important premise here.

That means the child must be the wife’s biological child and included in the family tree.

If the child is born to a concubine or a mistress found through an improper relationship, then I'm sorry, you can't expect to get a penny.

The reason why Lin Dong made such a rule was not because he cared about the money.

He simply wanted to prevent the Lin family from having any playboys who would go out to look for women without restraint. If that really happened, wouldn't it raise a bunch of useless people who only knew how to enjoy themselves and had no ambition to make progress?

At this time, Lin Dong turned his attention to the stunt actors who were holding various weapons such as sticks, ring-handled swords, and red tasseled spears.

He shouted loudly, "Everyone, take your positions and listen carefully. Today, you don't have to show any mercy. Just use all your strength and hit this kid's head and shoulders with the weapons in your hands."

"Especially those brothers holding spears, aim at his chest and stab him hard!"

Lin Dong stood up, turned up the volume of the loudspeaker to the maximum, and shouted to the stuntmen: "Everyone, remember this, when the camera starts, your expressions must be fierce and your eyes must be fierce."

"Anyone who can hit this guy even once will be rewarded with 1,000 Hong Kong dollars on the spot! Two hits will be 2,000 Hong Kong dollars, and so on."

"If any of you are able to defeat this guy, your monthly salary will be doubled, and you will at least be a major supporting role in the future."

Lin Dong paused, then added: "I tell you, whether that kid gets slightly injured or seriously injured, or even gets killed or disabled, you don't need to take any responsibility!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the forty or so martial arts actors present, who were dressed as Qing soldiers or thugs, suddenly lit up.

After looking at each other, they quickly formed combat teams of three.

Even though they know in their hearts that there will be a wire hanging from their backs during filming, and someone will naturally pull them back in time at the critical moment, so it is basically impossible to really hit the protagonist, but there is always a chance of something happening, right?

You know, for these actors who have some martial arts skills, although they are now called stuntmen, they only get a basic salary of 300 Hong Kong dollars per month.

And the subsidy for a day's filming was only thirty yuan.

Of course, this salary is much better than before, but it depends on who you compare it with.

If I'm lucky enough to hit the target twice, then wouldn't that provide me with money for my child's milk powder this year?

At this time, Lin Dong turned to look at Deputy Director Dong and the martial arts instructor, and solemnly reminded them: "Director Dong, and Director Zhao, regarding the order of the actors' appearance, you two must pay more attention to the details and don't make any mistakes!"

The two of them nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Director, please rest assured! We will definitely handle it properly."

Then, Lin Dong raised his voice again and shouted, "Where's the makeup artist? Where's the stylist? Come over quickly to do the final check!"

"I'm warning you, if you make stupid mistakes like wearing sneakers or watches again, then you won't get a single cent of your bonus this month. It will all be deducted!"

Lin Dong looked at the props team and shouted, "Props team, didn't I make it clear just now?

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and tie up the stuntmen's wires!"

Then, Lin Dong glanced at the props staff with a sharp gaze and warned, "Listen carefully, if anyone dares to make the low-level mistake of pulling the wire too early or being slow and causing an actor to get hurt, don't blame me for being rude!"

"This only shows that there is something wrong with your eyesight. Your movements and reactions are too slow! It's a waste of resources to keep someone like this in the crew!"

Hearing this, everyone at the scene shuddered and hurriedly quickened their actions, fearing that they would be criticized by Lin Dong.

"Taozi, you have been practicing martial arts since you were a child. If you are beaten by this bunch of rookies, you might as well go back to your country and farm!"

Lin Tao's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but muttered: "Brother Jiu, you are my cousin... You can't do this to me..."

Lin Dong's ears were so sharp that he immediately caught Lin Tao's complaints.

He turned his head sharply, glared at Lin Tao and said, "What are you mumbling about there! Put away that bitter face of yours!"

"Remember, when you walk, you must hold your head high, smile, and behave elegantly and gracefully."

"But once you start a fight, your eyes need to be sharp and you need to be confident! Do you understand?"

Seeing Lin Tao nodding in agreement, Lin Dong slowed down his tone and encouraged him, "As long as you perform well, Brother Jiu will not only put your posters in front of every cinema in Hong Kong, but also in every country in Southeast Asia."

"By then, you will be as glamorous as the rich people in those celebrity magazines, or even more famous than them!"

"Just imagine how much your girlfriend will admire you!" As he spoke, Lin Dong patted Lin Tao on the shoulder, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Isn't he still an actor?" Lin Tao turned his head away, frowned, looked disdainful, and muttered.

Lin Tao obviously disapproved of this profession. If it wasn't for the money, who would do this job? He was filled with a feeling of resentment.

Dong Chengpeng, who was standing by, couldn't help but retort when he heard this: "Master Lin Tao, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

"What do you mean by actor? This is totally a prejudice! In countries like Britain and America, people call this profession an actor. If you want to learn it, you have to be admitted to an art school!"

Dong Chengpeng spoke very loudly, and he was speaking to Lin Tao as well as to other people.

Then, Dong Chengpeng continued to persuade him: "Master Lin Tao, don't underestimate this business."

"Wait until you can earn a million a month. Then who dares to call you an actor? Mr. Lin is your cousin. Will he lie to you?"

After saying that, Dong Chengpeng wanted to imitate Lin Dong and pat Lin Tao on the shoulder to give him some encouragement.

But, Lin Tao just dodged sideways, and Dong Chengpeng was left alone, laughing awkwardly twice.

————————,

"Click!" Lin Dong shouted, and everyone present stopped what they were doing.

Lin Dong frowned and looked at Qin Huairu who was standing in front of the camera, and said, "Qin Huairu, your acting today is a little bit wrong!"

"Didn't I tell you? The Thirteenth Aunt you play grew up abroad and received a Western education."

"In this case, she should have a very open mind and a very cheerful personality."

"You were a little too reserved just now, relax a little!"

"Also, don't forget, you are Huang Feihong's aunt, so the expression of your feelings must be subtle."

"Just let your eyes show your admiration for him, and don't be too ambiguous like you did just now. Do you understand?"

Qin Huairu nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Director. I'll remember that."

At this time, Lin Dong turned to the nervous Lin Tao next to him and scolded: "Taozi, didn't Qin Huairu just gently hold your arm? Did you have to avoid it like you saw a ghost?"

"You are just auditioning today, so you two should cooperate with each other. You don't need to say any lines, just keep your mouth shut, walk slowly, and listen to Qin Huairu quietly."

"Lift your head up, lift it up! Lift it up." - Lin Dong lifted Lin Tao's chin and continued, "Why are you always keeping your head down? What's the matter? Is there a gold bar on the ground, or are you too ashamed to be seen?"

"Remember to keep smiling on your face. Don't smile so stiffly, like a fool."

Lin Tao completely confused Lin Dongxun and he just did whatever he was told to do subconsciously.

After the lecture, Lin Dong returned to sit behind the monitor.

He picked up the teacup and took a big gulp of tea. Although he felt tired, he still forced himself to shout loudly: "Attention all departments, let's do it again."

As Lin Dong's instructions were given, the scene became busy again.

Lin Dong sat steadily behind the monitor, staring at the screen, not missing any details.

"Yes, right now. The first group should prepare to capture the heroine!" Lin Dong commanded loudly.

The atmosphere on the entire shooting scene was tense yet orderly, and everyone was fully focused on their work.

Lin Tao's body suddenly turned and flew up like a whirlwind.

His legs drew a perfect arc in the air and completed a 360-degree rotation at an astonishing speed.

Then, he accurately stepped on the heads or shoulders of the extras, glancing past like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Lin Tao's movements were done in one go without any pause.

He took advantage of the situation and launched a straight kick, sending a Qing soldier flying onto the tea stall next to him. The tables and chairs were shattered all over the floor. The props had a full effect, and Lin Tao seemed to have the power to subdue dragons and tigers.

Then there were three quick and consecutive kicks, each of which was so powerful that it was hard to keep up.

At this moment, the props team responded quickly and adjusted the wire to a ninety-degree angle.

With the help of the wire, Lin Tao once again demonstrated his amazing skills. He hit his opponent with his elbow, then kicked sideways and snatched the wooden stick from his opponent's hand.

Finally, he took a wooden stick and hit one of the actors in the chest as fast as lightning.

However, at this thrilling moment, a loud "click" sound suddenly rang out.

It turned out that director Lin Dong saw a scene on the monitor that forced him to stop: an actor dressed in Qing soldier's uniform was hit by Huang Feihong (also known as Taozi) with a stick and flew ten meters away, landing right on the tea shed that had been carefully arranged in advance.

Dong Chengpeng stared at the images on the monitor, his eyes wide open, his face full of excitement and excitement.

He couldn't help but exclaimed: "So cool! So cool! So cool! So good, so good!"

This senior director who had studied abroad was obviously attracted by Lin Tao's graceful movements and sharp skills.

At this time, Dong Chengpeng finally began to understand Lin Dong's persistence in this movie.

If such a spectacular fighting scene were made into a movie and released, it would undoubtedly become a global hit.

At least Dong Chengpeng has been engaged in the director's career for nearly ten years. He has seen almost all famous movies from various countries, but he has never seen such exciting action.

However, when thinking of Lin Tao, Dong Chengpeng couldn't help but frowned.

Although Master Lin Tao is indeed impeccable in appearance and skills, the problem is that he knows nothing about acting.

It would probably be quite difficult to start filming smoothly in a short period of time.

Especially when facing the camera, Lin Tao always behaves extremely shy and blushes easily.

This made Dong Chengpeng feel very helpless, and he even had the urge to curse.

However, due to Lin Tao's identity, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and dared not express it easily.

"Are you okay? How are you feeling?"

Lin Dong helped up the actor who was hit by Lin Tao's stick and subconsciously used his spiritual sense to check.

"Ahem, ahem, it's okay, Director, I'm fine."

"Fortunately, there was a hardwood board on my chest, and the props team pulled the wire in time. Even so, my back was a little red and swollen from the fall."

"Where's the emergency doctor? Take him to the hospital for an X-ray! Remember to use the best medicine, Mr. Dong, give this kid 200 yuan in nutrition fees."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin. No, thank you, Director."

"You're welcome. You deserve it. Rest at home for two days and come back."

When Dong Chengpeng saw the injured actor being helped away, he came up to Lin Dong and said, "Director, there is absolutely no problem with Master Lin Tao's martial arts and image, it's just that he has never been exposed to acting before..." - Dong Chengpeng seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Then shoot slowly. If it doesn't work once, try ten times. If it doesn't work ten times, try a hundred times. If it still doesn't work, do dubbing. Edit shot by shot."

"This," - Dong Chengpeng had nothing to say.

"Director Dong, remember this: it's better to have less than less. Don't be afraid of wasting film in the early stages. How can you know what needs to be improved if you don't shoot it?"

"Taozi, Qin Huairu, you guys come and take a look too."

"Oh shit," Lin Tao exclaimed.

"Pa," "Will you speak properly?" - Lin Dong slapped Lin Tao on the back of the head, almost making him kneel on the ground.

"What a great temperament, is this really me?" - Qin Huairu was also surprised at her own progress.

I have to say that Qin Huairu is really a natural actor. After just over two months of training, she has already acted quite well.
