Stuck in a Chinese novel

Chapter 77: The heavy ones

The set of the movie Wei Jun was making was very busy today. Since they hadn't worked for five days, they were very behind schedule. So, Wei Jun promised everyone a bonus and everyone worked with a renewed vigor to work on the movie. The movie was very much completed but the major scenes were yet to be shot.

The scenes were shot in a straight manner but the scenes involving romance were sorted out first. Then were the scenes containing the villain and then the final scenes where the fight with the villain happens. Today was the last scene of the second phase.

Currently, Zhang Jie, the role Wei Jun was playing was trying to flirt with the heroine of the movie, Ling Meri, who was played by none other than Xia Lu.

Usually, there was no problem with the shooting because it was just a one-sided argument from Zhang Jie and Ling Mei would just have to ignore his words. However, today, Zhang Jie was trying to flirt a bit too much, going as far as going in for a kiss. Ling Mei, according to the script was supposed to feel disgusted and slap Zhang Jie.

However, "Scene 37, take ten." It was the tenth time the scene was being recorded because when Wei Jun got close enough. Instead of feeling disgusted, Xia Lu would instinctively blush. The scene had to be taken nine times and during all those times, Wei Jun was very cooperative, not minding it in the least. However, even he was feeling a little tired now.

Not in the sense of being worn out, but tried by Xia Lu's behavior. She had zero control over her feelings and that made Wei Jun a little bit angry but he made sure to hold it in because although his work was being held back, he just couldn't stop smiling when he would see Xia Lu all flustered.

"I think you need to focus more," Wei Jun said with a straight face, trying his best to suppress his smile and act like a boss, "What kind of a heroine blushes at the face of a villain? You need to show disgusted expressions. Where did you learn to act?"

It sounded like Wei Jun was admonishing Xia Lu however, the rest of the staff and actors couldn't help but unanimously say inwardly, 'How do you expect her not to when you shove such a handsome face in her own?'

Ever since his charm increased, his beauty had enhanced by a lot. Still, when he talked like that to Xia Lu, she couldn't help but feel angry about it.

Especially when he was the reason she was going through that. "Shut up!" She erupted which surprised Wei Jun but that wasn't the end of it.

"You think I'm doing this because I want to!?"

"Have you even asked why I'm doing this!?"

"Do you even care?!"

"NO! Don't answer! I know you don't!"

"All you care about is your work, work and work, you bastard!"

She yelled and yelled but that wasn't enough, she kicked Wei Jun in the leg but that only backfired because compared to her, Wei Jun was like a metal wall.

He chuckled as Xia Lu winced in pain and jumped around, "Are you all right?" It would have sounded properly concerning but Wei Jun's chuckle only made her angrier. She yelled once again.

"Go to hell!"

"Die by a heart attack!"

"Fu*k off!"

She said all of that in one breath and then turned and left with heavy steps. Wei Jun smiled even more brightly at her actions and couldn't help but fan the flames by asking, "Where are you going?"

"TO JUMP OFF THE BUILDING FOR ALL YOU CARE, YOU BASTARD!!!" Xia Lu yelled at the top of her lungs and left. Wei Jun's smile didn't leave his face and the bright smile on his face was even more dangerous. The people around them were stunned because they didn't know whether to be stunned by what had just happened or by that otherworldly smile.

Wei Jun shook his head and said, "All right, everybody listen up! Tomorrow let's shoot the scenes involving everyone except for Xia Lu. Let's give her a break."

"Yes, boss!" Everyone unanimously replied and Wei Jun nodded in return. He then left the set and made his way to his car. As much as he liked to have fun with Xia Lu, work was still a necessity and given that his main objective was still going on, he couldn't afford to just let it be like that.

Wei Jun seriously contemplated his two encounters with the cultivators. The first one where he was unprepared almost killed him and the second one took the explosives to blow up a building and he still managed to survive. The military sniper that he had obtained from Zi Huan had only one bullet which he ended up using on the first cultivator.

As for the explosives, most of them came from Zi Huan and some were in the police envoy, still, the number of explosives he had to use was too much for one person. Of course, his gains were significant as well as his stats increased by a great margin but the same tactic might not work next time so he needed something stronger, with better piercing qualities.

He stopped in front of the gambling house and went through the usual procedure to end up in Zi Huan's shop. Zi Huan wasn't alone this time though, there was a man there as well, someone Wei Jun had seen before.

The old man from the Na family banquet who had an erectile dysfunction-like problem and Run Long had healed him. He was purchasing a gun. Wei Jun noticed the man properly and noticed the man's behavior. There was no nervousness in any of his movements.

His hands didn't tremble suggesting he had experience with the guns and the atmosphere around him was something Wei Jun was familiar with; the old man was going to kill someone.

Wei Jun didn't care anything about that. it was none of his business but there was something that he needed from the old man. Run Long's cosmetic company had started and thanks to the old man, the fact that Run Long didn't have a license to generate and deal with pharmaceutical products was being ignored.

So Wei Jun had plans regarding the old man, and it seemed now was the better time to do it than any when Run Long was about to launch his first product soon.

The old man noticed the presence of Wei Jun but he ignored it and left the shop with a purchased gun in a briefcase. Wei Jun stepped forward but didn't ask anything about the old man after all, he was Zi Huan's customer and given his profession, there was no way Zi Huan would disclose anything about his clients.

"Welcome, mister celebrity. I was wondering when a star like you would humble my shop with your presence." Zi Huan jokingly remarked, referring to Wei Jun's trial incident.

"You know, the police and the D.A. are not very happy with you. They seem to be trying everything in their power to dig up anything on you." Zi Huan informed Wei Jun. Wei Jun smiled and replied, "You're very well-informed."

"Comes with the job." Zi Huan replied before he moved on from the topic and began to pull out guns from underneath the counter without a word. Shotguns, machineguns, jack series shotguns, and finally, a rocket launcher. Wei Jun was very surprised with all of that but that wasn't the end of the surprise.

Zi Huan finally pulled something else from underneath, something that even Wei Jun couldn't help but marvel at, "Now you're just bragging." Wei Jun said with a smile.

"Haha. I take pride in doing that." Zi Huan said before he began to explain, "Very hard to get but the efficiency is monstrous. Five hundred round magazine and it takes about a minute and ten seconds to empty it fully. Of course, when it comes to destructiveness, no other gun, even this launcher beats it."

"Now I don't need to remind you that even though this beauty is untraceable, I'm well known among the dark circles so if the people you use it on are aware of me, they would be able to trace it back to me." Zi Huan warned.

However, Wei Jun only smiled and said, "And there's no way you would want that, now would you?"

"You're a sharp one." Zi Huan said with a smile before he pulled out one bullet and threw it at Wei Jun. Wei Jun checked the register number on the shell and couldn't help but smile, "Someone doesn't like the military it seems."

Wei Jun's comment induced a chuckle from Zi Huan who simply said, "Let's keep some secrets between us." Wei Jun nodded and returned the bullet after which he pulled something out of his pocket and placed it on the counter.

"I understand you do custom jobs as well." Wei Jun asked.

"Of course." Zi Huan replied and picked up the clump of metal only to be surprised by its weight. "What is this?" He asked curiously to which Wei Jun replied with a smile, "Adamantium." With the reply, Wei Jun pulled out a piece of paper as well and opened it. On the paper were the blueprint and details of the gun Wei Jun wanted.

The details of the gun caught Zi Huan by surprise because it was something very beautiful to an arms dealer like him.

"I take it you're interested?" Wei Jun asked with a smile.

"Haha…Hahaha…Very! I'm very interested." Zi Huan replied between strong laughs.
