Soon after.

"Alright, I'll be off then."

"OK."

"Everyone, train hard."

"Ah, OK."

"Oh yes, Old Fang, teach them how to load the tank shells as well."

"Alright, I got it. Don't worry, just leave them to me."

"Thanks."

Then Zhang Ye left with the film crew.

Boss Qian Jr., Jiang Hanwei, Jacques, and some of the American actors couldn't help but stare in awe. The rest of the special forces soldiers were also dumbfounded. Everyone's eyes were fixated on Zhang Ye and the film crew's cars as they drove out of the barracks. It wasn't until they left that the group of people finally came back around. Looking at the target shot full of tens, and then looking at the tank that had drifted to a stop, they realized how infuriating it was to compare people.

Ricky sighed, "The director is ridiculous."

Dolby wiped his sweat off. "This marksmanship, even our SEAL teams are probably no better than this."

"And the tank, can it even drift like that?" Jacques said in a speechless manner, "What does he not know?"

Ricky said, "The director must have specially trained in these areas. He's a military expert who is also involved in the development of military weapons, so it's very normal for him to be familiar with such weapons systems."

When he heard the words "military expert," Boss Qian Jr. nearly wanted to curse and swear.

Dolby forced a smile. "That's right. If we compare martial arts, the director would probably fare much worse than us."

Jacques said, "He doesn't need to know much about martial arts since we're just filming a movie. All the moves are fake and just for show. They're all choreographed fights, although I'm looking forward to sparring with Zhang Ye. When he gets back, the scenes left to shoot will all be action scenes. It'd be good to get to know each other's skills in advance so that we can try to avoid injuring the director."

Boss Qian Jr. turned eager and said, "When he's back, I also want to spar with him!"

The instructor for hand-to-hand combat said, "Then you will all have to practice hard in the coming days."

Jiang Hanwei said in a speechless manner. "It's useless even if we practice hard."

Boss Qian Jr. looked over. "It's useless?"

Jiang Hanwei asked them, "You guys want to spar with him?"

"Yeah." Jacques said.

Dolby also said with a laugh, "We can't beat him at shooting, nor do we know how to drive a tank. But we're action stars, and me, Ricky, and the others started out as stuntmen. What danger have we not been through? We've been sparring with real knives and guns all this time, so we definitely won't do worse than the director."

They were very confident in their skills.

Jiang Hanwei rolled his eyes. "Then go ahead and try him."

They didn't catch the true meaning in Jiang Hanwei's words and even very eagerly tried out a few moves.

Firing weapons.

Hand-to-hand combat.

Loading tank shells.

Their daily training began.

…

Several days later.

Africa.

In the savanna.

There was a tense atmosphere surrounding the film crew.

This was because there were several fearsome lions in a cage not far away.

Zhang Ye stood there and kept reminding, "Today's scene is very dangerous. I'll repeat myself again. Sophia, the rest of the crew, all of you must watch out for your safety. Even though the animal trainers are around, that doesn't mean no accidents can happen when the cage is opened. So once the cameras start rolling, I want all of you to be ready to run for your lives. If the situation does not seem right, don't wait for me to shout 'cut.' I want everyone to run to the safety zone, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Got it, Director!"

Everyone answered in a weak voice.

The female lead, Sophia, was in the jeep and constantly trying to control her breathing.

Many of the cameramen looked pale as a sheet. Only the actress who was about to face the lions looked much calmer than everyone else.

Zhang Ye got into the car and looked at her. "Are you going to be fine?"

Sophia forced a smile. "I think I can handle it."

Zhang Ye said, "Are you ready?"

"I am, Director." Sophia inhaled.

Zhang Ye nodded. "Do you know why I chose you out of so many mixed-race actresses?"

Sophia was taken aback. She shook her head and said, "Honestly, I don't know."

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "It's because you're ballsy."

Sophia said, "Huh?"

Zhang Ye added in a whisper, "The main reason is that your asking price is low."

Sophia chuckled.

Only then did Zhang Ye shout to the outside, "This set of scenes is very dangerous, so let's aim to finish it in two takes. Alright, let's try the first take!"

The cage was opened.

The lions were let out.

When everything was ready, the animal trainers left.

The cameras started rolling.

Two people were speaking their lines.

Sophia opened the door angrily and stepped out of the car.

The camera followed her, and everything up to here was perfectly going according to script.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened. For some reason, one of the lions suddenly turned its head to look at Sophia before charging forward. The safety distance set between the beasts and the crew was 50 meters. However, the lion was too quick. Before anyone could react, the lion had already sprinted 20 meters and was getting closer and closer to Sophia. Everyone panicked!

Tong Fu carried the camera and ran!

The employee who was responsible for the fill lighting got so afraid that he screamed!

The animal trainers ran over while hollering!

The other crew members scattered and flusteredly got into the cars to avoid danger!

Ha Qiqi yelled, "Run!"

Zhang Zuo roared, "Sophia!"

Sophia was braver than most actresses. But even if she was brave, she was still a woman. She blanched. She shouted out a vulgarity she had learned from Zhang Ye in recent days. "Fuck your sister!" Then she turned around and started running, but tripped over, which caused her to be even slower in getting out of the way!

"Save her!"

"Quickly, save her!"

"Ah!"

"We're done for!"

Everyone was in a state of panic!

At this critical moment, someone sprang out of a car!

"It's Director Zhang!"

"Director Zhang, be careful!"

"Don't come out!"

"Run! Run!"

"Sophia, get up!"

Sophia leaped off the ground!

That lion was closing in. When the other lions behind saw this, they turned their heads and looked at Sophia. Then they padded over.

Zhang Ye stepped in front of Sophia at this moment.

"Director!" Sophia was very happy to see him and she nearly cried!

In the blink of an eye, the lion pounced!

Zhang Ye stared coldly at it and raised his right hand, imbuing some concealed power into his palm. The moment the lion pounced at Zhang Ye, he moved his feet in the pattern of a Taiji Fish 1 and instantly shifted himself to the left side of the lion. Without any hesitation, he struck his palm onto the lion's body!

Bam!

It was a soft sound.

In fact, it was so soft that no one could hear it.

But the next second, that majestic lion trembled as a force traveled through it, and it slammed down onto its side. It slid on the ground for a full two meters. Zhang Ye had slapped it right into a bushed area!

Sophia's jaw dropped!

Ha Qiqi was staring with wide eyes!

Little Wang was so shocked that her jaw dropped!

The animal trainers who were running over nearly tripped over themselves!

What the hell!

What kind of strength is that!

A lion?

It was sent flying?

With a slap?!

Silence!

The entire film crew fell silent!

The entire savanna was silent!

Then they saw the lion shaking as it laboriously climbed to its paws. Its eyes glared hate at Zhang Ye. With a loud roar, it looked as though it wanted to attack again!

Zhang Ye simply said one word: "Scram!"

The lion suddenly turned timid and gave a weak growl. Then it spiritlessly turned its head and padded away.

When the rest of the lions saw this, they also slowly turned their heads away. They were behaving like they hadn't seen anything.

Zhang Ye turned around and pulled Sophia to her feet. "Into the car."

As Sophia's knee was injured, she limped along and followed Zhang Ye into the car.

The moment the door closed, everyone in the crew could finally heave a sigh of relief!

Zhang Ye said in concern, "Where are you hurt?"

"I'm fine." Sophia said gratefully, "Thank you! Thank you!"

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "You're welcome. You're with us to film a movie, and I was the one who brought you guys here, so I have to guarantee everyone's safety. No matter how I brought you over from China, I have to bring you back all the same. That's my responsibility."

Two other cars drove over.

Ha Qiqi said from inside the other car, "Director Zhang, how is she?"

Zhang Ye said with a smile, "Fortunately, everything is fine."

Little Wang's eyes were red. "You guys scared us to death!"

Meanwhile, the rest of the film crew and the African employees were looking at Zhang Ye with a terrified gaze. They had a look in their eyes that suggested they had seen an immortal of some kind. The scene that happened just now was beyond their comprehension and all common sense. They had never seen something like that before!

Zhang Ye asked Sophia, "Can you continue to act?"

Sophia nodded firmly. "Yes!"

Zhang Ye said, "Alright, let's do another take!"

Ha Qiqi said, "We're still going?"

Zhang Ye instructed, "We must guarantee that there will be no mishaps this time!"

"Understood." Ha Qiqi went over to get everything set up and in order.

Zhang Ye then looked down and helped Sophia spray some medicine onto her leg. "Today's scenes have to be shot and completed. There's no way to stop, so let's hang in there a little more. After this set of scenes is done, we'll stop work. There's no need to be afraid, I'm here."

Sophia nodded. "OK, Director."

20 minutes later.

The prep work was complete.

When the cameras started rolling again, the second take went underway.

This time, when Sophia got out of the car, everyone in the film crew took a deep breath as their hearts leaped into their throats. They were all afraid that another accident would happen.

The lions turned around to look again.

Sophia was very tense.

But this time, everyone noticed that Zhang Ye, who was sitting in the car, was glaring daggers at the lions.

The lions looked at Sophia, then looked at Zhang Ye again before quietly turning back again. They went back to doing whatever they were doing. The lion that was beaten by Zhang Ye even let out a whimper.

The African employees looked at one another.

"The lions are afraid!"

"Jesus!"

"Who is this? What kind of person is he?"

"I've worked in the savanna for so many years now, but I've only heard of lions eating people. I've never heard of lions being scared of people!"

"Does a person who can fight a lion with their bare hands really exist?"

"I've seen something unbelievable today!"

"This Chinese film crew is really too scary!"

On this day, a film crew from China had given the local African people an indelible and terrifying memory!

…

Meanwhile.

On the other side of the planet.

At the barracks' drill grounds.

Boss Qian Jr., Jacques, and several of the others were practicing hand-to-hand combat.

Jiang Hanwei had answered a call. He was stunned for a while before walking back over to the group and saying, "I just received news. The film crew just met with a mishap in Africa."

Jacques was startled. "What happened?"

Everyone crowded around anxiously. "What mishap?"

Jiang Hanwei said, "A lion tried to attack Sophia and there was nearly a tragedy."

Boss Qian Jr. said, "What? Did she get hurt?"

Jiang Hanwei said, "No, she wasn't hurt."

Ricky said in surprise, "She got so lucky?"

Jiang Hanwei looked at him and said, "It wasn't luck. It was Zhang Ye who sent the lion flying with a palm strike."

"What did you say?" Boss Qian Jr. was stunned.

Several of the nearby special forces soldiers were also dumbfounded. "Sent flying with a palm strike?"

Jacques was speechless.

Dolby was speechless.

Everyone at the drill grounds was speechless.

Jiang Hanwei suddenly got reminded of something. "Oh yes, which of you said that you wanted to spar with him?"

Boss Qian Jr. said, "Huh?"

Dolby blinked. "No one said anything like that."

Ricky kept shaking his head, "I didn't say it either. Did you say it?"

Jacques shook his head firmly. "No!"

They were going crazy!

Spar? Spar your sister!

You can even fucking send the king of the savanna flying with a palm strike? Who the fuck would want to spar with you? Even the several of us combined couldn't fucking slap a lion like you did!
