Dragon Tiger Martial Master

The film set that Fish Head Xu brought Yang Chu into was an office building.

There were many people on site, along with numerous machines. Yang Chu took a rough glance and, judging by the signs hanging on the walls and the nameplates on the doors, realized the set was meant to be a police station.

"Chu Zai, see that? Those are all big stars. They're here to support Big Brother, making cameo appearances."

Standing at the edge of the set, Fish Head Xu pointed toward a group of people on the other side and whispered to Yang Chu.

Yang Chu looked in the direction Fish Head Xu pointed. He saw that many people in the crowd nearby looked familiar, but since he had been resurrected after crossing over, his memories seemed to have gaps, and he couldn't place them for the moment. He wasn't even sure if the Hong Kong Island of this world was the same one from his past life.

"Brother Xu, where did you run off to? Big Brother is about to blow a fuse!"

Just then, in the busy crowd, a young man with a baby-faced appearance but a lean, sturdy build hurried over as soon as he spotted Fish Head Xu entering the set.

Unlike the others, this baby-faced youth didn't use Fish Head Xu's nickname. Although his tone carried a hint of complaint, he still called him Brother Xu.

"Jia... Jia Le, I went to pick someone up. How are things now?"

Fish Head Xu's face lit up with a smile as he looked at the approaching youth, his demeanor showing a sense of closeness as he asked about the situation on set.

"Big Brother couldn't wait for that role of yours. Brother Le happened to come by, so he took it instead. Look, Brother Xu, you know Big Brother didn't film anything all last year. He even called his junior brother back from Canada this time because he really wants to make a good movie. He's under a lot of pressure."

The baby-faced youth named Jia Le explained the situation to Fish Head Xu and then consoled him, "But don't worry, Brother Xu. There are plenty of roles coming up, and we'll definitely need your help then."

"I know, I know. Big Brother called so many people back this time just to get back on his feet. It's just a small role, no big deal. Big Brother isn't even filming any cop-and-robber movies this year; he only started one racing film just to clear the way for Big Brother. We've followed him for so many years, we've got to support him!"

Fish Head Xu nodded repeatedly, his face showing no sign of frustration over losing the role; it was clearly not the first time he had encountered such a situation.

He then brought Yang Chu forward and introduced him to the baby-faced youth named Jia Le: "Jia Le, this is Chu Zai. He's got great skills, and he wants to join the crew to earn a living."

"If you're the one introducing him, Brother Xu, then there's no problem." The youth named Jia Le looked Yang Chu over. "Chu Zai, right? Call me Jia Le. I'm the stunt coordinator for this film. You'll start working with me in a bit."

"Alright." Yang Chu nodded lightly without saying anything else.

Filming a movie was completely foreign to him, so he would just do whatever he was told.

"Fish Head Xu, where did you run off to?"

As they were talking, a sturdy, middle-aged man in his forties walked over from the office area that was being set up.

Yang Chu noticed a scar on the corner of the sturdy man's mouth. His features looked honest, but his gaze was sharp and imposing, and he walked with a sense of authority.

"Big Brother."

Seeing the sturdy middle-aged man approach, both Fish Head Xu and the youth named Jia Le stepped forward to greet him.

Although they had both referred to him as "Big Brother" while talking earlier, they addressed him as "Big Brother" to his face.

Yang Chu didn't quite understand these forms of address, but it was clear that this sturdy middle-aged man held a significant position—he was likely more than just a director.

"Big Brother, I'm sorry, I just went to pick someone up."

Fish Head Xu bowed slightly, explaining what he had just told the youth named Jia Le.

"For small things like that, you should be quicker. I originally wanted you to play that clown role, but since you weren't here and Ah Le came to support me, I let him take it. He has to leave early, you see."

"I know, Big Brother. It's no problem at all."

Fish Head Xu grinned, not taking the role change to heart. Instead, he pulled Yang Chu to his side. "Big Brother, this is Chu Zai. He's helped me out before, and he wants to come and earn a living with us."

"If you're recommending him, there's no problem. Let him follow Ah Le."

The middle-aged man glanced at Yang Chu and nodded slightly without saying more. He then turned to look at Fish Head Xu's slightly hunched back and patted it. "My master used to teach me that when you're young, your back should be a little bent so others feel comfortable looking at you. But when you're older, your back should be straight to show others that you've still got it. We're brothers who started out as stuntmen together—stand up straight."

"I know, Big Brother." Fish Head Xu quickly straightened his posture.

His cross-eyed gaze and serious expression, paired with his deliberately stiffened posture, gave him an inexplicably comical air.

"Not letting you on camera is truly a loss for this film."

The sturdy middle-aged man chuckled and pointed at Fish Head Xu. "Alright, enough talk. Get ready to take your positions. Fish Head Xu, you'll be my assistant."

"You got it! It's been a long time since I've worked on a set with you, Big Brother."

Fish Head Xu nodded with a smile and signaled to Yang Chu, "Chu Zai, you follow Jia Le. I'm going to help Big Brother."

Yang Chu nodded. From their conversation, he had roughly understood the situation.

It was essentially that a role originally intended for Fish Head Xu had been given to someone called Brother Le who had come to make a cameo.

Whether the reason for the change was actually because Fish Head Xu had gone to pick him up and couldn't be found was hard to say.

Still, Yang Chu felt a slight touch of emotion.

"Chu Zai, come with me."

After Fish Head Xu left with the sturdy middle-aged man, the youth named Jia Le standing nearby beckoned to Yang Chu.

"Alright."

Yang Chu didn't know what was expected of him, but seeing the gesture, he followed immediately.

Once he reached the youth named Jia Le, Yang Chu noticed another handsome young man standing nearby, wearing a black suit and a yellow shirt.

"Let me explain the scene first. It's like this: Brother Le is playing a mentally unstable police officer who holds his superior hostage with a gun. Everyone outside the office is watching. Then, Wu Zai, you come from behind, step on Big Brother's shoulder, and then leap to kick through the office glass to stop Brother Le."

The youth named Jia Le seemed to be looking out for Yang Chu, explaining the plot briefly before continuing, "This is the first shot for your character, Wu Zai, so you must show off your skills. Because of the venue, we can't use wires. So the action is: from this high platform, you step on Big Brother's shoulder, use the table to gain momentum, and then kick through the glass, flying diagonally into the office."

As Jia Le explained the action to be filmed, he pointed to the surrounding positions.

"Brother Jia Le, why don't I try it myself? That way, it won't be as easy to mess up."

The handsome young man known as Wu Zai listened to the explanation, his eyes filled with a sense of eagerness to give it a go.

"That won't do. You're the lead actor. If you get hurt at a time like this, Big Brother is going to blow a fuse."

Jia Le shook his head, refusing the request, and instead turned his gaze toward Yang Chu. "Chu Zai, Brother Xu said your skills are top-notch. Can you handle this move?"

The move he was explaining wasn't particularly complex, and he could have pulled it off himself without any issues, but since he was working as a stuntman to earn a living, he had to show he was worth his salt.
