Chapter 12

CHAPTER 12: BEAT YOU TO DEATH

All the scenes planned for the morning were completed in a smooth fashion . The director was glad to see that Tang Feng and Gino’s collaboration were up to his standards, but there were still a few hiccups here and there during filming . For the first take of the kiss scene, Gino had used too much force and ended up pushing Tang Feng into the ground .

For the second take, Tang Feng held his spot, Gino also used less force, but the director was the one unhappy this time . “Have the two of you been dating for ten years? Come on, I want to see some excitement and conflict! Now’s not the time to be lovey-dovey . ”

Everybody laughed at the director’s remarks .

They finally passed the scene during the third take . However, Gino had bitten Tang Feng’s lips during the kiss, and a trace of blood lingered beside Tang Feng’s lips when they broke apart . The director quickly ordered a close-up shot of Tang Feng’s face and praised Gino for his unintended mistake . The followers of God were kissing in front of the figure of God, and one of the monks had received a bitten lip in the process . They had broken another taboo; exactly as the director had wanted it .

Tang Feng took a break in his trailer while a few assistants took off his makeup and cleaned up the wound on his lip . It was common for celebrities to have a few assistants around them . It wasn’t for the sake of appearing important, it was simply a necessary step in becoming a professional actor . A professional actor needed a professional team backing him up .

Lu Tian Chen had found quite a few people from Hollywood to help him, but it’d turned out the same as the last time that Lu Tian Chen had found a tutor for him: Tang Feng ended up becoming the tutor himself . In the end, Tang Feng picked out the members of his team himself . After spending a few decades in the industry, Tang Feng had a pair of discerning eyes . He knew where to look to find the people he needed .

Sometimes, a foreign billionaire wasn’t as efficient and resourceful as a native of the country .

For the majority of the time, Tang Feng liked to hole up in his trailer alone . After the assistants finished their work, they left the trailer without exchanging any small talk . Tang Feng especially liked this professionality of theirs .

Small talk and other conversations could be saved for outside of work . Even if he were taking a break, he was still focused on the movie .

He had to go over the script for the scenes this afternoon and prepare himself .

“Gino sure used a lot of force . ” Tang Feng stared at his lip in the mirror . He was missing a layer of skin, but it wasn’t too bad . His efforts weren’t all for naught; they’d passed in just three takes .

At that moment, the sound of knocking came on his trailer door .

Tang Feng stood up . Was it one of the staff members who’d forgotten to tell him about something? Or was Gino here to go over the script again?

He’d only opened the door a smidgeon, but the person outside immediately forced the door open themselves . Tang Feng was forced to take a few steps backwards . The person squeezed themselves into the trailer and shut the door behind them .

“Charles, when did―” When did you come back?

Before Tang Feng could finish his words, Charles had already caught his mouth in a kiss . The man wrapped his arms tightly around Tang Feng’s shoulders and waist, his tongue attacking the other’s mouth like a machine gun firing at a wall . Tang Feng pushed at him, but Charles forced him step by step onto the trailer’s bed like a stubborn ox .

Tang Feng crashed onto the bed . Even though the mattress was soft, the landing still hurt . Tang Feng grabbed a fistful of Charles’ collar and slammed his other fist against the man’s abdomen . Charles grunted and finally released Tang Feng, whose lips were red and swollen .

“Are you in your mating period again? Then go find someone out on the streets, don’t treat me as―”

Charles smiled and rubbed a finger against Tang Feng’s lips, cutting the actor off . He stared down at Tang Feng with a lecherous smile on his face . “My dear, I’ve missed you . Don’t you miss me at all?”

“I miss kicking you in the butt . ” Who would miss a pervert like Charles? Tang Feng would rather Charles go on a trip somewhere far away and never come looking for him again . It’d be even better if Charles could find someone else to stick to on his trip .

“I’ll let you kick me all you want tonight . ” Charles waggled his eyebrows suggestively at Tang Feng .

At Charles’ reply, Tang Feng felt as if he’d swallowed a disgusting fly . Irritated, he placed his hands on Charles’ shoulders and warned, “It’d be best if a masochist like you could get off me now . Otherwise, I’m going to kick you in your Little Charlie . ”

“Oh no, it’s not Little Charlie . It’s very big…” Charles chuckled and lowered his head . He said next to the actor’s ear, in that low voice of his, “You should be well aware of that . It even told me to bring you a message: It misses you as well . ”

“You’re obscene . ” Tang Feng punched Charles in the shoulder . “All right, get off . ”

Between filming, if Tang Feng wasn’t studying the script, then he was practicing martial arts . In his past life, he’d already developed the habit of drinking tea and practicing tai chi . With a basic knowledge of tai chi, it wasn’t too difficult to learn the Wing Chun fist .

“No, we still have one more step to go through . ” Charles was persistent, and refused to let Tang Feng escape from his hold .

Having just trained in Wing Chun for a few months, Tang Feng was still incapable of kicking aside Charles or Lu Tian Chen; both men had years of fighting experience on him . Tang Feng could attempt to stand up while Charles was still laying on top of him, but that would make too much noise . If someone got curious and came to see what was going on, it wouldn’t be a pretty sight .

“Exactly what do you want?”

“A purging,” Charles firmly spit out two words .

Tang Feng didn’t understand what Charles meant . He raised an eyebrow, and asked, “What?”

“You kissed another man this morning . Look, I’m a gentleman from head to toe . I’m also more openminded than most people . I know I should be supportive of your job and everything that comes with it . I also know that I shouldn’t take offense at the fact that you must kiss someone else for the sake of your job . ” Charles suddenly paused . He inched closer to Tang Feng and stared deeply at the actor .

Just when Tang Feng was about to speak, Charles picked up his words in a radically different tone . Somewhat viciously, he said, “But you know what, I don’t like it at all! I don’t like seeing you kiss other people . I seriously want to blow that Michael Gino into fucking bits and pieces right now!

“Oh god, I swore . Excuse my profanity, dear . It’s a bit difficult trying to control myself right now . You know, I simply care too much for you . I care for you more than anyone else in the world . ” Charles appeared a bit drained and helpless after his outburst . Pretending to be cute, he blinked innocently at Tang Feng .

“What an honor . ” Tang Feng had waited patiently during Charles’ entire outburst . He knew that no matter the reason, Charles wouldn’t stop until he’d vented his fill .

“Tang, you’re a truly understanding man . I love you to death . Come, give me a kiss . ” Charles pursed his lips and conducted his “purging” like he said he would .

Tang Feng pushed at Charles . Enough was enough, he didn’t want to get dragged into a French kiss or some other ordeal while he was onset for the movie .

“Charles, enough . ”

“Babe, it’s not enough . I want―”

“Hey! You bastard, let go of him!”

Before Charles could spew out more disgustingly sugary words, he received a fist right across the face . The force knocked him sideways and he almost fell onto the ground . For a man who was all about keeping up appearances, it was a once in a lifetime experience .

Tang Feng looked up to see Gino standing inside his trailer .

The blond man rolled up his sleeves and leveled another punch at Charles . Having just being punched, Charles wasn’t going to wait around for a repeat . He dodged Gino’s fist and sent out a kick of his own . “What kind of place did trash like you spring from?”

Quickly, Charles and Gino ended up in an all-out brawl . Tang Feng slammed the trailer door shut and yelled, “Hey! The two of you, stop it!”

♦

“Ow! Lighter, lighter! Are my looks ruined?” Half an hour later, Tang Feng was sitting beside Gino with some rubbing alcohol in his hands . Gino sucked in a breath and stared at himself in the mirror . The corner of his mouth was bleeding .

“Deal with it if you’re a man . Stop complaining like a little kid . ” Fortunately, Charles had only punched Gino once in the face . Compared to Gino, Charles was someone who truly knew how to fight; every punch and kick he’d landed was in a spot hidden by clothes .

But Tang Feng didn’t want to praise Charles . Beside the first sneak attack from Gino, Charles had been the one beating the other to death . If he hadn’t kicked Charles aside, Gino surely would’ve ended up crippled .

“Tang, don’t be so heartless . I saved you!” Gino lifted his shirt and exposed the patches of purple on his well-defined abdomen . This was the difference between people who’d only worked out in the gym and people who’d survived real fights with knives and guns .

“Also here, this place needs to be massaged as well . ” Gino pointed at his abdomen .

Tang Feng rolled his eyes . He poured out some rubbing alcohol and slapped his hand onto the spot Gino had pointed at, rubbing forcefully all the while . The other actor’s face twisted into a bunch at the pain .
