Chapter 307: Train?
Translator: BeetleBarker Editor: Tennesh
Si Lu was at a loss .
Fang Zhao was able to guide Zaro, and as a member of the consultant team, he would surely be even more familiar with the Yanzhou chapter and would understand the roles better . Perhaps Fang Zhao's understanding was much deeper than other actors, but he would be willing to listen to reasonable remarks .
Si Lu had a habit . Whenever he was distressed, he liked to go to a gym and hit the weights .
There was an exercise level in every building in the housing area, but there were many people there . Apart from this, there was also a health center that Si Lu loved to visit .
There was actually another place specifically for the leads and important supporting roles of each film unit . The conditions there were even better and there was more personal space . The only problem was that Si Lu could not get in as he wasn't qualified enough .
Although the cast and crew were on vacation today, there were still many people in the health center . Some people would visit the gourmet food city to relieve some stress, whereas others would visit the health center to relieve all their pent-up stress and frustrations after a season of filming .
Si Lu was also a frequent visitor here . When he entered, he saw familiar faces from each continent;s film unit .
He did not greet anyone, and nobody bothered him . Although everyone was training their bodies, they all had their own train of thoughts . Greeting others could be considered disturbing them, so here, nobody would hastily talk to another unless they were friends .
It hadn't been like this at the start, but as season after season went by, this strange atmosphere had arisen .
Sometimes, when one was being polite, from another's point of view, it was like one was asking about their entire family .
Therefore, when one entered the health center and saw a senior from the showbiz circles, not greeting the other party wasn't considered a form of disrespect .
As Si Lu was training, he considered whether he should go seek out Fang Zhao .
At this moment, Fang Zhao had just entered the health center after running around the gourmet food city . Although he had just ran, he wasn't sweating—there was only some sand and dirt on his body .
As Fang Zhao had an important role in the cast, he had the privilege of using the special gym . However, he had loaned his right to another actor in the same company . That actor needed some physical training and a quiet environment . The other exercise areas had too many people, and the special gym for leads and important supporting roles was a little better .
Fang Zhao did not have many requirements for such things, so he had temporarily loaned his access card to that other actor .
The people at this health center frequently saw Fang Zhao . Knowing that he had lent his access card to others, they were quite envious of that other actor . If they could, they would naturally use a quieter and more personal environment for their own training . It was just too bad that there were too many actors and resources were limited . They could only blame themselves for not being capable enough to snag a lead role .
Si Lu also saw Fang Zhao, and he paused his training . He was hesitating on whether to go over, but before he decided, Fang Zhao had entered another training room .
Fang Zhao had entered a room with lots of sandbags . There were a few actors training there already . There were more people using sandbags here . Fang Zhao walked over to the side with suspended sandbags . This was the area with the largest ones .
The people here were already used to this sight . There were also people who had once tried to punch these sandbags and injured their fists . Therefore, those suspended sandbags were basically only used by Fang Zhao . Even when there were many people in the health center, this area would still be empty .
When actors from every continent came here to train and observed Fang Zhao's fighting prowess, they came to this conclusion: he can fight!
He could hit such a large and hard sandbag . If this wasn't considered being able to fight well, then what was?
As some people watched Fang Zhao start to hit the sandbags once more, a few of them started to discuss in muted voices . "Look, Fang Zhao is hitting that sandbag again . That sandbag is really pitiful; it gets beaten up every few days . "
"You are mistaken . That isn't the previous sandbag . The health center has changed to a new one again . I heard that the previous one was beaten till it broke . . . No, I think the sandbag is changed after every session . "
"Really impressive!"
"Do you want to go and practice with Fang Zhao? The people from our continent do not have much interaction with Fang Zhao . Why don't you go and practice with Fang Zhao first?"
The person who was asked looked at the new sandbag and then looked at Fang Zhao before vigorously shaking his head and replying, "No way! If he doesn't control his strength properly, what happens if I get crippled? My small frame won't be able to withstand a punch of his . "
"He can fight so well, why is he an actor? He can go over to the Muzhou arena and be a boxer . One can earn more than an actor over there . "
Someone else interrupted them . "Just a gentle reminder, Fang Zhao's actual profession is composer . He held his first career concert just last year . He graduated from Qi'an Academy of Music, which is a top-tier school in Yanzhou for the arts . "
The other two silently pondered for some time before replying, "Then the question is, why does he want to be an actor? Is competiting with us for our livelihood very fun?"
Fang Zhao did not know that he was being discussed . It was not that he could not hear, but whenever he came, he would not put in extra effort to take note of what other people were talking about . Otherwise, if he really wanted to, he could hear them even over the muffled sounds of all the sandbags being hit .
Since joining the cast of "Founding Era," other actors had also suffered from negative emotions . Although Fang Zhao himself was more clear headed, he wasn't entirely unaffected . He would also recall stuff that had happened before, and he wasn't completely at peace .
Actually, Fang Zhao wished that he could shoot to let off steam, but there were no shooting ranges that fit his requirement here . Eighty percent of the guns provided by the production team weren't real . Props were made in the image of guns from the Period of Destruction, and not many bullets were manufactured, as the production team was taking safety into account .
Therefore, Fang Zhao would punch some sandbags every few days . The largest sandbag here was actually set up according to a special request from Fang Zhao . He could hit it without any problems, but if other people tried, they would hurt their fists .
Fang Zhao also paid for the cost of replacing damaged sandbags out of his own pocket . He would not let the production team pay for them .
After his session, when Fang Zhao came out, someone called his name .
"Fang Zhao!"
Si Lu had finally set his resolve and had kept watch over the door . When he saw Fang Zhao, he got a little excited and his voice was a little loud .
