The Common Man's Return in Chinese Entertainment

"Ah! Ji Qingxu, pull me up quickly, my leg is broken, my leg is going to break!"

Hearing Fan Xiaopang's heart-wrenching screams, everyone training in the room turned to look.

Li Cai glanced at it and his eye twitched. This kid, he had specially found him a good "job," but he went too far and showed no mercy to the lady. He was so clueless about romance.

"Coach Li..."

Li Cai smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's normal operation, let's continue."

Upon hearing Li Cai's words, the trainees exchanged bewildered glances. "He's screaming so pitifully, are you sure he's alright?"

However, considering that Li was a professional action director, if he said it was nothing, then it must be nothing. If he injured the female lead before filming even started, he wouldn't be able to explain it to her.

However, everyone's expressions were somewhat strange as they watched Ji Qingxu training Fan Xiaopang. This male protagonist was truly "unique".

......

"Ji Qingxu!!!"

"It's okay, Sister Bingbing. It's just a simple leg stretch. Don't worry, I'm a professional, nothing will happen."

Fan Xiaopang, who was doing the splits, glared at Ji Qingxu and said, "Didn't I tell you to be gentler? Is this how you treat your older sister?"

Ji Qingxu chuckled and patted Fan Xiaopang's shoulder, saying, "Sister Bingbing, no pain, no gain. This is just an appetizer. If you can't even handle this much, how will we film the action scenes later? Will we have to use stunt doubles for everything?"

"You... Hmph, if you get hurt, I'll definitely not let you off the hook."

"Don't worry, I'm a professional at treating injuries."

Seeing Ji Qingxu's smiling, white teeth, Fan Xiaopang gritted his teeth in hatred. This brat! He thought Ji Qingxu was a sunny and cheerful boy because of his fair and handsome appearance, but he turned out to be a black-hearted man.

As soon as he finished warming up, he pressed his own shoulders down and slammed himself to the ground. Thinking of the tearing pain he had just experienced, Fan Xiaopang bit his lip tightly.

......

Looking at the time on the wall, Ji Qingxu saw that fifteen minutes had passed. He looked down and saw that Fan Xiaopang was biting her lip tightly, and her hairline was already soaked with sweat. Apart from calling out twice at the beginning, she hadn't made a sound since. Ji Qingxu thought to himself, "No wonder she was able to make such a name for herself in later generations. This woman is indeed extraordinary."

"Okay, let's take a break."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiaopang breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something when he realized that Ji Qingxu had lifted him up with one hand.

Faced with this action, Fan Xiaopang was completely dumbfounded.

Who helps someone up like this?

Are you carrying a kitten or puppy?

This little rascal, does he not understand anything about men and women? Is he that ugly? He doesn't even have a shred of chivalry.

"Bingbing, are you alright?"

Seeing the waving hand in front of him, Fan Xiaopang instantly snapped back to reality, noticing the soreness in his legs, and said irritably, "What do you think? I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Fan Xiaopang involuntarily fell to one side. "Quick, quick, help me up."

"A muscle cramp?"

"Yes, ouch...it hurts!"

"Shall I press it for you?"

"...Thank you for your help."

"Bear with it."

"You... Ah, Ji Qingxu, did you do this on purpose?"

Fan Xiaopang gritted his teeth and shouted, then saw Ji Qingxu release his grip, glaring at him and saying, "What do you mean?"

Ji Qingxu said with a smile, "Try taking a few steps."

"I have a muscle cramp..."

Halfway through his sentence, Fan Xiaopang immediately stopped, moved his legs, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and tried to take a couple of steps, only to find that he was actually fine.

Seeing Ji Qingxu looking at him with a smile, Fan Xiaopang bit his lip. This guy really does have some skills.

"Thank you for your understanding. I apologize for my tone earlier."

"I'm glad you don't blame me, Bingbing. Let's rest for a bit, have some water, and then continue."

"it is good."

Walking to the side and picking up his water glass, Fan Xiaopang drank while observing the others training in the room. After a while, he put down his glass, walked over to Ji Qingxu, and asked, "Qingxu, weren't you afraid I'd get hurt just now?"

Ji Qingxu asked with a smile, "Did Sister Bingbing train before coming to the film crew?"

Fan Xiaopang paused for a moment, then nodded to confirm, "Yes, after taking on this role, I knew there were many action scenes, so I trained at home for a while beforehand."

At this point, Fan Xiaopang suddenly realized, "You figured it out?"

"Yes, we are the two of the main characters in this movie, and there are a lot of action scenes. There are less than half a month before filming starts, so in order to help you get familiar with the movie as soon as possible, I can only use some quick methods."

Hearing this explanation, Fan Xiaopang could understand Ji Qingxu's reasons for doing so, but he was still somewhat resentful. "Couldn't you have told me first, in case..."

Ji Qingxu laughed and denied it, "There's no chance of anything going wrong. I'm absolutely confident in my ability to handle action scenes. Besides, compared to the actual filming, this little bit of hardship is nothing. Sister Bingbing, you'll understand once filming starts."

"You... Hmph, you shameless brat, you don't know how to be gentle with women at all."

Hearing Fan Xiaopang's mutterings, Ji Qingxu replied in a similarly low voice, "Sister Bingbing, can good manners help you get the lead role? Can good manners make you famous?"

"..."

Seeing that Fan Xiaopang had fallen silent, Ji Qingxu stretched his body. "Come on, do it with me. This set of boxing techniques can help you stretch your body and make you more flexible, which will be of great benefit to learning the next set of moves."

Seeing Ji Qingxu looking at him after he finished speaking, Fan Xiaopang said seriously, "I'm ready."

"Okay, look carefully."

......

After glancing at the time on the wall of the training room, Ji Qingxu clapped his hands. "Okay, that's enough for today. We'll continue tomorrow."

Upon hearing Ji Qingxu's voice, Fan Xiaopang felt as if dawn had broken.

My goodness, it's finally over! Fan Xiaopang thought that his training at home for a while would be enough to handle the action scenes in this movie, but he didn't expect that even before filming officially started, the training alone was already a bit too much for him.

"Here, wipe it off after you take a shower tonight."

Seeing Ji Qingxu hand him a glass bottle of about 100ml, Fan Xiaopang instinctively took it. Looking at the dark liquid inside, Fan Xiaopang asked curiously, "Is this medicine for treating sprains and bruises?"

Ji Qingxu replied with a smile, "I guess so. I made it myself. If I feel any soreness or weakness in my body, I just rub some on and massage it in. That way, I won't have any major aftereffects when I wake up the next day. I'll ask you for more when I run out."

Upon hearing about the medicine's effects, Fan Xiaopang subconsciously tightened his grip. "Thank you."

"Use it sparingly, this medicine is very expensive, I didn't bring much with me this time."

Fan Xiaopang nodded slightly upon hearing this, "Okay, I understand."

After saying that, he quietly put the medicine bottle into his pocket.

After glancing at the time on the wall, Fan Xiaopang said with a smile, "Let me treat you to dinner."

Ji Qingxu replied with a smile, "I have quite an appetite."

Fan Xiaopang said with a smile, "It's okay, eat your fill. Although I don't have much money, I can still afford to treat you to a meal."

Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."

......

"Are you... full?"

Seeing Fan Xiaopang staring at him in shock, Ji Qingxu smiled and wiped his mouth with a tissue. "Seven-tenths full."

Fan Xiaopang opened his mouth wide in surprise, looked at the empty plates on the table. He had just ordered enough food for at least five people, no, maybe seven or eight, and this guy had eaten it all by himself.

Fan Xiaopang couldn't help but ask, "Are you really alright?"

Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't joke around with my own health."

That's right, this guy practices martial arts, he definitely won't do anything reckless. But thinking about how much Ji Qingxu had just eaten, Fan Xiaopang asked curiously, "Do you eat this much every meal?"

Ji Qingxu chuckled and replied, "No, it's just occasionally. I eat a little more when we have a big meal, like today."

Fan Xiaopang couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this. "No wonder you said you have a big appetite. I'll go pay the bill first, you can sit down for a while."

"Let's go together. It's getting late. You've had a tough day of training, so go home and get some rest."

"it is good."

After paying the bill, the two headed towards the farmhouse where the film crew was staying.
