Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 68 I just can’t stop!
Tuesday, Hengdian Town, Lao Song BBQ.

Action director Dong Wei brought members of his direct action team and wire work team to Lao Song BBQ on Wansheng Street in Hengdian to drink and chat.

In April this year, Du Haitao and Wu Xin from "Happy Camp" visited the store while filming on location.

The main dish is traditional charcoal barbecue. The dishes include pork belly, beef skewers, grilled mushrooms, tin foil tender tofu, etc. The unit price is mostly in the range of 1 to 5 yuan. The portions are substantial and the seasoning is fresh and fragrant.

Lao Song BBQ was recommended on the show, which quickly boosted its popularity. Soon, the walls of the restaurant were covered with celebrity check-in photos, crew group photos, and artist signatures.

…………

Action director Dong Wei's head, deputy martial arts instructor Sun Wusong, came to the table carrying two large plates of sizzling skewers.

"Master Dong, I've asked the kitchen to slice your favorite roast pork loin into thin slices and serve it up shortly."

Dong Wei nodded: "Remember to use pepper water to remove the fishy smell."

Sun Wusong sat down next to Dong Wei and said, "Don't worry, I've already given instructions to the kitchen staff."

The action coordinator next to him opened a Qianjiang beer and filled it up for Dong Wei, saying, "Mr. Dong, that guy from the coal capital last week has completely collapsed after being suppressed twice."

"Given the current situation on our crew, you are now the undisputed leader."

Sun Wusong took a piece of pork belly with translucent fat and tempting red lean meat and said:

"What Jinyang Coal Capital? They're bragging so much!"

"Damn it! When those gangsters came to the crew to collect the commission, our Master Dong went with Big Brother Hong Jingbao to negotiate!"

The leader of the wire work team, who was drinking beer, said, "It's that kid Ah Le! He's so stingy! Mr. Dong, you helped him so much and gave him more scenes, and he just gave us some trendy clothes."

Sun Wusong ate the golden and caramelized pork belly and said disdainfully, "What kind of trendy brand is this?"

"My girlfriend is a model, so I took photos of clothes for her, and she said they were all copied from the Japanese and were worthless! It's fun to be a model!"

Dong Wei took a sip of Qianjiang beer and said, "Of course I know that Ah Le is a stingy kid."

"However, Media Asia Films Limited, the largest investor in this film, has a good relationship with Ah Lok's agency, China Entertainment."

"Last year, Huayu Entertainment Agency also recommended newcomers to participate in Media Asia's Rising Star Program.
"The crew's name change was quiet for two days, and now producer John Woo and director Su Zhaolin are fighting again."

"Director Wu has a big name, but he's thousands of miles away in Hollywood. Director Su has less experience, but he's close by and can fly to Hong Kong and Taiwan to meet with investors at any time."

"If this continues, both sides will surely suffer losses. By then..."

Deputy Martial Arts Director Sun Wusong understood the hint and said, "The director will definitely have to be changed by then!"

"It's definitely too late to find another director. If we have to choose from the crew, it must be our Mr. Dong!!"

The action photographer interrupted, "Brother Sun, what's Mr. Dong? It's Director Dong! Chief Director! Drink!"

Sun Wusong picked up a bottle of Qianjiang beer and said, "I was wrong! I drank it!"

Dong Wei put down the browned and slightly crispy beef skewers in his hand, raised his wine glass, and said, "Hahahaha! It's all thanks to the brothers for their support! Drink, drink!"

"Cheers!" "To Director Dong!" "Cheers!!" "Director Dong!"

Deputy martial arts instructor Sun Wusong finished a bottle of Qianjiang Beer with a simplified hand-painted packaging featuring the Qiantang River Bridge and Liuhe Pagoda, wiped his mouth, and said:

"But, Director Dong, you are really nice! In the sex scene we reshot yesterday, Shawn Yue really tried hard, and that artistic goddess Jiang Yiyan was completely tense."

The leader of the wire rope team smeared oyster sauce on the grilled mushroom skewers and said, "I heard that this person is a volunteer teacher. Ah Le is so disrespectful to teachers!"

Dong Wei sneered and said, "What teaching?"

"I've heard from mainland artists a long time ago about this Jiang Yiyan who went to impoverished mountainous areas to teach Sony camera photography techniques... and took a bunch of promotional photos and posted them on her blog..."

…………

Dong Wei and others were drinking and chatting, having a great time.

It is located under the bridgehead of Wansheng North Street, diagonally opposite Lao Song BBQ, and is a blind spot for road surveillance.

It's leaning against a car that looks like a Wuyang Honda with a painted accessory set. A closer look reveals it's a modified Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle with a GT35 turbocharger, 1000cc Bosch injectors, and lightweight carbon fiber components.

"Yes, it's Lao Song BBQ in town. Get off the national highway, cross two streets and turn left. It's there..."

There was a man wearing a black AGV full-face helmet, talking on the phone in the shadow of the bridge pier.

You can vaguely see a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a righteous demeanor. The tactical leg wrap on his left leg is shining sharply in the reflection of the dim street light.

........................

Ten minutes later, a heavily overloaded coal-carrying DYX3311 vehicle came down the national highway and entered Hengdian Town.

Lao Song BBQ served a small hot pot of shabu-shabu meat and Dong Wei’s favorite grilled pork loin slices.

A group of people were eating hot pot and singing.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
The truck's air horn blared continuously, producing a series of deep, long blasts. The action and wirework crews of "Sword Rain" were stunned for a few seconds...

Damn it! !

This is rushing towards the barbecue stall!

A group of people fled in all directions. Dong Wei was so panicked that he tripped and fell. When he got up again, there was no one around him.

Fuck! No one in the entertainment industry has any integrity!
The brothers who were just saying they would go through fire and water and swear to die for each other have disappeared without a trace, and there is no one to even give them a hand!

Only the headlights of the approaching truck...

Boom! Bang!
…………

At the critical moment, Dong Wei demonstrated the professional qualities of a martial arts master from Hong Kong's golden age.

The moment the tires and the ground screamed!
Dong Wei's right leg muscles suddenly tensed up, his shoulders and neck leaned forward, and his whole body popped out sideways like a spring.

The moment the front of the car brushed past my lower back, the air currents carried the smell of gasoline...

The dull thud of my back hitting the ground mixed with the sound of fabric tearing, and the roughness of the concrete floor instantly penetrated my shirt, sending a burning dull pain from my shoulder blades to my lumbar spine.

The elbow was scraped open with a palm-sized bloody wound during the tumbling, and gravel and sand were embedded in the torn flesh.

Dong Wei sat slumped in the steam rising from the asphalt road, gasping for breath.

Looking at the roadside table that was smashed into pieces, I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat and my legs went weak and I couldn't stand up.

…………

During Hong Kong's golden age, those who rose from humble beginnings as martial artists to become action directors all had their own life-threatening moments.

For example: In the explosion scene of "Eastern Condors", a gasoline barrel accidentally ignited, and Chin Kar-lok was burned into a fireman and was on the verge of death. He was discharged from the hospital and continued to perform the cliff jumping scene.

In the clock tower falling scene of "Project A", before the classic shot of Chen Long jumping from a 15-meter-high clock tower, Mars from the Cheng family team was the first to try jumping.

In "Heart of Dragon", Sammo Hung asked 8 martial artists from the Hung Clan to jump from the 7th floor at the same time, and there were real explosions around them.

After the filming was over, the first words spoken on the scene were "Help!" instead of "Call it a day!"

In short, if you fight your way out, you will be the best, leading the way with abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin and bird's nest.

If you can't make it, go to the Wo Hop Shek Cemetery in Fanling, live in a small box, and receive resettlement allowance.

…………

The highlight of Dong Wei's rise to fame was the truck chase scene in "Wheels on the Run", when the truck and the car collided with each other.

Following the request of big brother Hong Jingbao, he completed the rolling action at the moment of the truck collision. The huge impact force caused him to break a rib and bruise three other ribs.

........................

Seeing the severely overloaded truck stop, the crew members rushed over and pulled the driver out.

The action coordinator grabbed the driver by the collar and yelled, "Fuck you! Are you fucking crazy? How the hell are you driving?"

The driver struggled to break free and said, "Sorry! It's a blind spot!"

Sun Wusong said: "What the hell! You rushed over and almost crushed the tables and chairs, and you still stepped on the accelerator!"

The driver explained simply, "Brother, I thought it was a speed bump."

The leader of the wirework team shouted angrily, "What the hell is a speed bump?! There are so many of us, can't you see?!"

The driver looked innocent and pitiful: "Don't do that! Brother, I just can't stop!"

"I'm just a coal hauler. It's not easy for everyone. We're all trying our best to survive!"

Sun Wusong could no longer endure it and shouted angrily, "Fuck you! Fuck you! Pay me! Pay me for that mental damage!"

The driver spread his hands and said simply, "Compensation? Then talk to the insurance company."

Everyone in the crew: "..."

........................

Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!!!!

When everyone was arguing.

The roar of a motorcycle exploded in the street, and a shadow passed by everyone in an instant and disappeared at the end of the road.

“Ahhhh!! My hand!!”

Dong Wei's screams echoed throughout Wansheng Street...
