Li Zhilin's face was ashen, and he let out a cold snort.
"Alright, let's go again!"
The Director raised his hand again, "Ready, action!"
Li Zhilin: 12, 123456!
Lin Chudong: 6, your mom!
Li Zhilin: 123, 1234, 1234!
Lin Chudong: 4, your mom 4!
Li Zhilin: ...
The Director called "cut" again.
"Zhilin, in this scene, we're meeting elders. You need to be humble, not gnashing your teeth."
Li Zhilin retorted angrily, "Director, did you hear what he just said? How am I supposed to act?"
Lin Chudong sneered, "You act your part, I'll act mine. If you don't know how to act, go home and be a pretty face. Don't waste my time."
"If you were professional, you'd be able to handle even if I was cursing up a storm. If you can't, then go home!"
Lin Chudong returned Li Zhilin's earlier taunts to Lin Qiqi, word for word.
Everyone present widened their eyes, holding their breath, not daring to make a sound.
The Director didn't dare to speak either. Lin Chudong was Lin Qiqi's person, and this was clearly him standing up for her.
And he had a point. He even used the exact same words. How could Li Zhilin save face after saying the same things?
Li Zhilin took a deep breath, "Fine, I'll show you what professionalism is!"
Li Zhilin adjusted his breathing, got into position, and started again!
Li Zhilin: 12, 23456!
Lin Chudong: 6 your mom's ass!
Li Zhilin: 123, 1234, 1234!
Lin Chudong: 4 your mom's ass 4!
Li Zhilin: 12, 1234.
Lin Chudong: You're all waist and no height, except for your ass.
Li Zhilin: 12345678, 123.
Lin Chudong: You lacked calcium as a child, and lack love now. Your grandma doesn't love you, your uncle doesn't care. You deserve a slap on the left cheek, and a kick on the right. Even donkeys kick you, and pigs step on you.
At this point, someone on set couldn't help but laugh. Da Fei was too funny, who delivers lines like that? He couldn't remember his long lines, but these insults flowed out of him, one after another, and the word count was perfectly timed. His expressions were also spot on, if you covered your ears, you wouldn't even notice it was a performance.
But as soon as he started talking, Li Zhilin couldn't help but laugh.
Lin Chudong, however, had a lot of lines. Li Zhilin, apart from reciting a few numbers, mostly just listened, wearing an expression of enlightenment.
Lin Chudong: "You've got nothing to do, so you hold a pager in the wind and rain, switch it from your left hand to your right, and still can't get through."
Lin Chudong: "You're so creative, living is your courage, being ugly isn't your fault, it's God's anger. If you look like that and don't live, who will highlight the beauty of the world?"
Lin Chudong: "You're uglier than a ghost without makeup; you make ghosts paralyzed with makeup. Peeing on a grave at midnight would scare the ghosts to tears."
Lin Chudong: "You have messy hair, two short legs, triangular eyes, a square mouth, your features are out of place, you're disoriented, your seven orifices are blocked, you look eighty percent like a ghost, ninety percent lecherous, and one hundred percent impotent!" Lin Chudong: "You have pointy ears and swollen eyes, a triangular nose with a red face, a disabled arm used as a leg, and a shit-eating mouth. You have a big crotch and carry a basket, looking like a stupid old Zhang from afar. If you were thrown into a tiger cage, the tiger wouldn't dare eat you, it would find you disgusting..."
Li Zhilin: "... "
In four or five minutes, Lin Chudong didn't use a single swear word, and didn't repeat a single line.
Every line of dialogue was perfectly timed, and his expression was very calm.
But he was berating Li Zhilin mercilessly!
Not far away, Lin Qiqi was already laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight. The others didn't dare to laugh out loud, only sneaking glances, but this young lady had no such inhibitions. Da Fei was so interesting; how could he be so good at cursing people?
Da Fei was good at writing lyrics, and was he also a master of insults?
Even the Director was pinching his own thigh, trying to recall every sad thing he'd ever experienced, to stop himself from laughing!
This was the hardest laugh he'd ever had to suppress!
Meanwhile, Li Zhilin's face was ashen.
To avoid multiple retakes, he could only lower his head, letting his hair cover his face, and grit his teeth.
Then he raised his head, and his expression returned to one of respect.
Someone nearby had already secretly recorded it with their phone. To scold Li Zhilin like this was something no one in the entertainment industry dared to do.
Whispers started among the crew.
"Da Fei is so impulsive, daring to scold even Li Zhilin. Are singers now so unconcerned about their image?"
"Haven't you seen the trending topics? Big Fly and Lin Qiqi are a couple. Li Zhilin dared to scold Lin Qiqi, so of course Big Fly had to stand up for her!"
"Well, in that case, Big Fly is pretty cool."
"Definitely cool. When he was yelling, he radiated this confident charisma. No wonder Lin Qiqi likes him."
"Look at you, all lovesick. Do you like him too?"
"I do! If Big Fly took a liking to me, I wouldn't have to be a nobody anymore."
"Stop daydreaming."
"..."
The Director stood up, "Cut!"
Finally, it's over!
Everyone on set breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Da Fei had truly redefined their understanding of the limits of insults. Could anyone actually insult people like that?
Moreover, they all felt this wasn't even Da Fei's limit. Given enough time and lines, he could probably keep it up for half an hour without a problem.
Li Zhilin said coldly, "Da Fei, huh? You've got guts. I'll remember that."
"Director, isn't this a talent? Forget the ending theme song, I'm giving it to someone else."
The Director's expression immediately changed and he quickly stepped forward.
"Zhilin, we had an agreement! Your company's 'Most Favorite' was supposed to be the ending theme song. You can't just change your mind!"
Li Zhilin sneered, "I don't care. It wasn't written into the contract, so I'm not going to honor it. I'm in a terrible mood right now."
"Unless he apologizes to me!"
The Director immediately looked at Lin Chudong. He didn't care about the cursing earlier, as he didn't want to offend anyone anyway.
But this ending theme song was a different story. He'd been planning it for a long time. Li Zhilin's company team had helped with the production. If he didn't give it to them now, where would he find a particularly suitable song?
They were about to wrap up filming. Once approved, they'd release it immediately. In this day and age, releasing it early meant getting it over with quickly, avoiding issues like actors' scandals that could prevent the show from airing.
This ending theme song absolutely couldn't go wrong.
"Da Fei, look..."
Lin Qiqi suddenly stood up, blocking Lin Chudong.
"No apology!"
When Lin Qiqi spoke, the Director didn't dare to give her a hard time, which put him in a bind.
"Qiqi..."
Lin Chudong said, "The ending theme song? What kind do you want? Give me five minutes, and I'll write you one."
The Director was stunned for a moment, then gave a wry smile.
"Da Fei, don't joke around. How could you possibly write something better than Zhilin's team in five minutes?"
Lin Chudong said calmly, "Don't forget what I do. Don't you have five minutes?"
The Director frowned slightly, glanced at Li Zhilin, then at Lin Qiqi, and was agonizing over the decision.
Suddenly, Li Zhilin said in a strange tone, "Go on, let him write it. Isn't he a music genius? I'd like to see what kind of amazing song he can come up with in five minutes!"
