Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
w.a.n.g Ke Hao suddenly thought of Lin Fan’s ident.i.ty. He was a recognized figure in Shanghai, how could he not know anyone who could get a stuntman for him?
After thinking of that, w.a.n.g Ke Hao heaved a sigh of relief. It looked like the matter was about to be resolved.
However, he still vowed to never employ this particular stuntman ever again.
Lin Fan looked around. “What car are we going to use for the stunt later?”
w.a.n.g Ke Hao didn’t really think too much about the question, he just walked towards a car and replied, “Master Lin, we’re using this one.”
Lin Fan nodded as the car was pretty decent. Then, he asked, “What do you require the stunt to be like?”
w.a.n.g Ke Hao didn’t know why Master Lin was asking those questions. He thought about it and felt that perhaps it was because Master Lin was great friends with the stuntman and knew about his capabilities. Hence, he needed to find out more about the stunt so that he could confirm if the stuntman could perform it.
w.a.n.g Ke Hao sighed after thinking about how responsible Master Lin was for asking about the intricate details of the stunt. He probably didn’t want the stuntman to make a wasted trip.
However, w.a.n.g Ke Hao didn’t know how to convey the message to him. Hence, he got the stunt coordinator to come over.
The stunt instructor was a middle-aged man and he treated Lin Fan with respect. After all, everyone knew about Lin Fan. Then, he started to explain the stunt to him.
“Oh, you mean that the rear wheels of the car should be raised and the car will be moving off the ground? Then, it’ll make a 360-degree turn. Is that correct?” Lin Fan asked.
The stunt instructor nodded. “Yeah, that’s about it. The rest would depend on the creativity of the stuntman. The main thing is that the car has to flip around at the end.”
“Okay, I understand now. It’s not that difficult,” Lin Fan said.
The stunt instructor looked at him helplessly. The stunt was actually pretty difficult to do. The individual components weren’t difficult to execute but it was difficult to execute everything smoothly. There weren’t many people who could execute it perfectly.
The camera angle would be fixed and the stuntman had to execute everything in one take. n.o.body would be confident enough to guarantee success.
w.a.n.g Ke Hao said, “Master Lin, is that okay?”
Lin Fan nodded. “Yes, it’s simple.”
If it were someone else who said that, he would definitely think that this person was bragging. However, since Master Lin was the one who said it, he had to believe that it was a simple stunt. After all, Master Lin had said it so confidently.
“Master Lin, don’t worry. The price will definitely be satisfactory.” Although he thought that Master Lin was going to look for someone through his connections, he still had to be paid.
Lin Fan immediately opened the car door and sat inside. “It’s okay. Director w.a.n.g actually came to the Welfare Inst.i.tute to film. I’ll do it for free.”
Then, w.a.n.g Ke Hao was stunned when he saw Master Lin sitting in the car. He didn’t understand what he meant.
“Master Lin, you are…?” He decided to ask him.
Lin Fan smiled. “I’ll execute the stunt for you. Didn’t I say it?”
“Huh?” w.a.n.g Ke Hao hesitated for a moment. The stunt coordinator at the side was also stunned. What did Master Lin just say?
He must be kidding. Even the stunt instructor didn’t believe it. Anyone who hadn’t gone through long years of training wouldn’t be able to execute such a complex stunt.
Now that Master Lin said that he could do it, how was the stunt coordinator going to believe it?
w.a.n.g Ke Hao sighed. If another person were to do that, he would have scolded that person. However, the person before him was Lin Fan. He said, “Master Lin, don’t joke with me. Come out now, if something happens to you, I can’t take the blame.”
That was indeed true. If something were to happen to Master Lin, he wouldn’t even be able to leave Shanghai.
Master Lin was like a treasure of Shanghai.
He still remembered how difficult things had been when he had applied for permission to use the road junction of the Welfare Inst.i.tute.
It was really close to the Welfare Inst.i.tute and the film production team had been pretty inexperienced, if something were to happen there, Master Lin would definitely be furious.
One should not underestimate Master Lin’s relations.h.i.+p with government officials. All the government officials wouldn’t dare to offend Master Lin, given his power and status.
After all, Master Lin’s influence was boundless and everyone wanted to have a piece of his influence.
They had heard that a government official had pa.s.sed an instruction to get rid of dogs and it had eventually spread to Cloud Street. It had almost affected Master Lin’s pet. Although n.o.body knew who had published it online, the official who pa.s.sed the law had almost gotten fired for doing that.
If something were to happen to the Welfare Inst.i.tute, this would definitely get a lot of people into trouble.
Therefore, w.a.n.g Ke Hao knew the importance of Master Lin in the eyes of many people.
Perhaps even the richest man in Hong Kong wouldn’t be able to compare to Master Lin. In the end, Shanghai’s leaders would still choose Master Lin without a shadow of a doubt.
Because their decisions would affect a lot of things in the nation.
Even if he was the richest man, money could not resolve everything.
Master Lin’s medical skills were shockingly powerful and he came up with a lot of new medications. Furthermore, he had even won the n.o.bel Prize. These accolades would crush anyone out there who wanted to challenge him.
Lin Fan looked at w.a.n.g Ke Hao’s expression of disbelief. He said helplessly, “Director w.a.n.g, you look like you’re in disbelief. Do you think I’m kidding?”
w.a.n.g Ke Hao smiled bittersweetly. “Master Lin, forgive me. If something happens to you, I can’t handle the consequences.”
*whiz*
Lin Fan immediately drove off. He wanted to prove himself.
w.a.n.g Ke Hao shouted, “Master Lin, stop messing around!”
Everyone was shocked when they saw what was happening.
They were actually witnessing Master Lin executing stunts.
He started to do complicated car stunts and everyone was dumbfounded.
w.a.n.g Ke Hao looked at the stunt instructor. “Will this suffice?”
The stunt instructor was stunned. If he hadn’t witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed Master Lin was the one behind the wheels.
“Director w.a.n.g, Master Lin is performing extremely difficult moves. Although a lot of people can do it, literally n.o.body can do it as well as him,” the stunt instructor said.
Then, Lin Fan reversed his car back to where he had started. He smiled. “Director w.a.n.g, do you think that’s good enough?”
w.a.n.g Ke Hao looked at Master Lin in shock. Then, he recovered from his daze and nodded.
“Yes, yes.”
Lin Fan smiled. “I told you that I’m an experienced driver. You didn’t believe me.”
