Chapter 1634: 1634

The actors of the two worlds were different .



So naturally, the movie wouldn’t be exactly the same either .

For example, there were some flashback scenes of Wolf Warrior 1’s female lead, Long Xiaoyun, in the movie . This role was still a very important one, but as Zhang Ye was unable to find a female actress who was as unique as Yu Nan 1 , he decided to get Dong Shanshan to play the role instead . Even so, Shanshan had her own valiant bearing after putting on the military uniform that Zhang Ye found to be very suitable .

Then there was also the role of the spoiled brat who was the son of the owner of an African factory . In Zhang Ye’s previous world, even though Wu Jing 2 had cast the male idol, Zhang Han 3 , in this role, the original person he had hoped to play the character was actually Wang Sicong . However, due to various reasons, Wang Sicong 4 did not come on board the movie . In the end, he could only get a male idol . But in this world, Zhang Ye ended up getting the son of China’s richest man to play the character . Even though Boss Qian Jr . was not a professional actor, he was still a true-blue affluent second generation . He would definitely be able to bring the true flavor of that in his role and play it better than a professional actor could . Besides, with his status as “China’s Husband,” his popularity was definitely much higher than most celebrities .

As such, it sometimes depended on luck when it came to casting the right actor in a role . The stars had to align!

Boss Qian Jr .

Dong Shanshan .

Yao Jiancai .

Jiang Hanwei .

Jacques .

Zhang Ye was very happy with this cast .

This was the perfect cast to him .

The next day .

“Cut!”

“Very good, this will do!”

“After this set of scenes are done, get ready, everyone . We’ll be heading to the barracks tomorrow!”

The dialogue scenes were more or less finished . All that was left were the fight scenes .

But to film the fight scenes, the actors would require some training .

Some movies would simply require the actors to fight each other with some simple props, and then add a tank in during post-production to complete to scene . However, Zhang Ye didn’t want to do that . Since he was going to make the movie, he might as well be detailed . So he was prepared to use real tanks and guns for the production . As such, this made it even more demanding on the role that Zhang Ye was playing .

Therefore, after they finished filming here, Zhang Ye started to play the lottery draw .

He opened up the game ring’s interface and activated the Lucky Halo (Ultra) . What he needed most were skills that would be useful in the production of his movie .

One draw…

Two draws…

Three draws…

[Firearms Marksmanship Skill Experience Book] × 212

[Tank Driving Skill Experience Book] × 67

[Fruit of Strength] × 21

Zhang Ye was very happy to receive these .

Firearms?

Tanks?

These were exactly what he needed . Moreover, the number of skill experience books he received were quite a lot too .

Although he had eaten a lot of the Fruits of Strength before, no one would think there could be too much .

The next day .

Early in the morning .

A part of the film crew were getting ready for their trip to Africa .

Another group of actors who were involved in the fight scenes were brought to a military region by Zhang Ye .

A sentry put his hand out and stopped them . “Show your identification . ”

Zhang Ye rolled down his car window . “I’m looking for Commander Fang . ”

The sentry recognized Zhang Ye and felt a little agitated . However, he still made a call to check . A minute later, he quickly raised the barrier and let the convoy pass .

In the barracks .

On the drill grounds .

The commander came out personally with a squad to welcome them .

“Fellow Zhang . ”

“Old Fang, why have you put on weight again?”

“Did I?”

“I remember you were still quite slim when I saw you two years ago . You must have been sitting around in your office, right?”

“No good words ever come out of your mouth, you scoundrel . ”

“Haha, have you prepared the drill grounds for us?”

“It’s all been arranged . I’ve even found you the instructors too . They’re all special forces soldiers in our military command . ”

“Alright, I’ll have to trouble you with some of my people for the coming days . I mainly require them to train their firearms handling and action sequences . Oh yes, where are the guns and tanks that I requested?”

“It’s easier to find the guns, but the tanks are a no-go . ”

“Hey, didn’t we already agree on it?”

“I thought you only needed tanks that had been scrapped . We have those, and many film productions request that from us . But how am I supposed to lend you a tank that is still in service? If you feel that the scrapped tanks look too fake, you can add some special effects . Isn’t that what everyone else is doing? Who would use a real tank anyway!”

“Nonsense, do you think it doesn’t cost money to add VFX? Hurry up and get them!”

“If you’re thinking of going into a tank to have a look and fiddle around as you please, I can allow you aboard any of the main battle tanks that are here in my military command . Your status is different since you’re not considered an outsider . But I can’t allow it to be used for the movie since this involves military secrets . ”

“I don’t need the MBTs . Just get me a few tanks that will be decommissioned soon but can still be driven around . I’m not picky, Old Fang, so you’ve definitely gotta help me out with this . I have great use for them!”

“Even if I give them to you, you won’t know how to drive them!”

“Just get me the tanks and you’ll find out . ”

During his years at the research institute, Zhang Ye had a lot of dealings with people in the military . Commander Fang was one of them, and their relationship was quite good . This was why he could speak without reservations with him . If it were anyone else who came to borrow some tanks to use in a movie production, Commander Fang would definitely ignore them . However, Zhang Ye’s status was different, and face had to be given to him .

When the people saw this situation, their hearts turn cold .

Zhang Ye had his way around the barracks!

In the morning .

The training officially began .

The instructors brought the trainees over . “Have any of you fired a gun before?”



Jiang Hanwei replied, “I’ve practiced firing them a few times before . ”

Boss Qian Jr . smiled and said, “I’ve been going to the shooting range since I was ten . ”

Jacques said in English, “I have my own guns at home . ”

The other American actors also smiled and said, “Guns are not illegal in America . ”

The instructor nodded and said frostily, “OK, then let’s give it a try . ”

At the range .

Bang bang bang .

Bang bang bang .

The firing of the guns was deafening .

“Ring 6 . ”

“Ring 3 . ”

“Miss . ”

“Miss . ”

“Ring 3 . ”

Someone was reporting the scores out loud .


The instructor shook his head lightly . “You call this having used a gun before? With such standards, none of you are even at one-tenth the level of an ordinary soldier . ”

He picked up a gun .

Turned around

And fired .

“Ring 9!”

“Ring 9!”

“Ring 10!”

“Ring 9!”

Everyone watched in shock .

Quite a few special forces soldiers were standing nearby, watching and laughing .

The instructor put down the gun . “And the way you hold the gun when you shoot, your stances, all of you fail! Starting from today, I will teach you how to handle a gun and Instructor Li will coach you on hand-to-hand combat . I don’t care whether you’re actors or celebrities, or who brought you here . As long as you’re in my house, you will have to do everything according to the standards of military training . ”

Boss Qian Jr . picked on that . “Wouldn’t it do as long as we know how to use a gun?”

Jiang Hanwei said, “You mean we’re going to do this for real?”

The instructor said coldly, “This was Fellow Zhang’s request . If you have any doubts, please go and look for him . ”

The training began .

Under the scorching sun, the actors couldn’t help but feel miserable .

Zhang Ye and the film crew stood there watching .

Ha Qiqi gave a wry smile and said, “Director Zhang, can they really handle such training?”



Zhang Ye said, “They’ve gotta do it even if they can’t stand it . Some of the scenes we shoot have to look realistic . It might be easy to just get a few prop guns and film the scene, but it will be obvious that they’re fake . The loading of the magazine, the shooting, all of these actions have to be done professionally . There are a lot of gunfights and fight scenes to be edited in post, so how can they not train?”

Little Wang said in worry, “I’m only afraid that China’s Husband will quit the cast . ”

Zhang Zuo was also terrified of that happening . “Yeah, he’s been spoiled since childhood and even takes his father’s private jet whenever he travels . Furthermore, doesn’t everyone in China know about his temper? Which celebrity in the entertainment circle hasn’t been scolded by him before? If he really decides to quit the movie, there’s nothing we can do about it . ”

Ha Qiqi was a little bewildered . “Come to think of it, Boss Qian Jr . doesn’t treat anyone with courtesy except for Director Zhang, right?”

Zhang Ye laughed . “I know his father . ”

Little Wang said, “Ah, so that’s why . ”

Boss Qian Jr . was indeed very polite to Zhang Ye . This was because he knew that he didn’t need to care about the other celebrities in the entertainment circle since his family had a share of the entertainment industry with their entertainment companies and movie theater chain . This was why he did not have to give face to any of them . But it was different for Zhang Ye . Be it the identity of Zhang Ye’s wife, or the status of Zhang Ye as a Nobel Prize winner, or the relationship between Zhang Ye and his father, he would have to treat him with courtesy at all times . Zhang Ye was the only person to be personally welcomed by his father out in the yard of their house when he went over to visit them . Moreover, the entire world knew that his father, Qian Haitao, was a fan of Zhang Ye’s calligraphy too, and Zhang Ye’s Preface to the Orchid Pavilion was still up on the walls of their home . Other than his father, no one in the family could touch it .

Noon .

The actors were drenched in sweat and nearly dehydrated .

Zhang Ye came out from the shade at this time . “Get some rest . ”

The instructor nodded . “Take a break!”

Jiang Hanwei gulped down two bottles of water .

Boss Qian Jr . collapsed into a chair and didn’t get up .

Zhang Ye said, “Great work, everyone . Please endure it . Our film crew will be headed to Africa tomorrow to shoot some scenes and won’t be back for some time . I’ll need you all to continue training until I’m back to shoot the scenes in China . I also hope that by the time I’m back, I’ll be able to see everyone’s improvement and results . ”

Jiang Hanwei was much older and couldn’t really bear this . “How many days will you be away?”

Zhang Ye said, “If everything goes smoothly, about 10 to 14 days . If progress is slow, maybe an entire month . ”

Boss Qian Jr . got a little cranky . “Director, if I may say something, you keep telling us to practice this and that, yet you as the main lead have not been practicing at all . ”

Zhang Ye was taken aback . “I don’t need to practice . ”

Boss Qian Jr . was dumbfounded . “Why don’t you need to practice?”

Nearby, the instructor and special forces soldiers all looked at him .

Jacques looked at him .

Jiang Hanwei blinked .

That’s right .

Why don’t you need to practice?

Zhang Ye shrugged without saying a word . He calmly walked to the shooting range . Looking down, he picked up a gun . Then he swapped magazines and reloaded before raising the gun to take aim .

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

The soldier reported the scores in shock .

“Ring 10!”

“Ring 10!”

“Ring 10!”

“Ring 10!”

There were a total of seven shots!

All of them hit the bullseye!

Boss Qian Jr . nearly fell out of his chair!

Jiang Hanwei was dumbfounded!

Jacques was dumbfounded!

Ha Qiqi was dumbfounded!

The instructor was dumbfounded!

The special forces soldiers were dumbfounded!

Commander Fang, who was standing in the distance, was also dumbfounded!

The entire drill grounds were silent!

After putting down the gun, Zhang Ye slowly walked back and spread his hands, saying, “I told you I didn’t need any practice . ”

Boss Qian Jr . exclaimed, “Fuck! You’re amazing!”

In the distance, the rolling of tank treads suddenly rumbled, making a lot of noise .

Four old tanks that had already been decommissioned slowly drove over . The sound attracted everyone’s attention . Ha Qiqi, Little Wang, and many of the others were seeing a real tank for the first time . They were a little awed . They finally understood why Zhang Ye had insisted on using a real tank . A real tank and a tank that was added in with VFX were clearly different .

The tanks came to a stop .

The tank crew crawled out of it .

The soldiers saluted . “Reporting in, Commander . The mission is complete!”

Commander Fang acknowledged them . Then he turned to look at Zhang Ye . “Will these do?”

Zhang Ye was overjoyed . “If you had something this good, you should have brought them out sooner! Why did you keep dancing around the subject!”

Commander Fang said in a speechless manner, “Even if I brought them out, you wouldn’t know how to operate them . ”

But in the next instant, Zhang Ye walked up and touched a tank affectionately . Then he leaped up and got into the cockpit of the tank . Under the stunned gazes of everyone, the tank suddenly started moving after several seconds . The tank rolled along the drill grounds for dozens of meters before drifting and coming to a perfect stop!

Zhang Ye opened the hatch and popped out . “Not bad, I’ll take these!”

Everyone was extremely confused!

Commander Fang’s jaw had dropped!

Boss Qian Jr . was dumbfounded!

Ha Qiqi nearly vomited blood!

The instructor and many of the special forces soldiers were also stunned by what they were seeing!

What the fuck!

You know how to drive a tank?

And you can even fucking drift it?!

Then they thought about Zhang Ye’s marksmanship!

And remembered how Zhang Ye seemed to have flown a civilian aircraft before as well!

These special forces soldiers even started to suspect that Zhang Ye could drive an aircraft carrier away if they got him one!

What kind of person was this!

Are you the special forces operator or are we the special forces operators?!
