Supreme Mars novel Chapter 202

From the perspective of the two in the fight scene, Ronnie was the one being terribly battered by Leo. However, it was no more than a routine of filming in the eyes of Robert, Michelle and Lydia.

But it was presented in such a bloody way that it looked so real.

As time went by, Zack started to notice something weird. He saw Ronnie’s bloody face filled with horror and anger. Obviously, they were not filming, but actually fighting violently.

“Hey, stop! Stop! He is bleeding!” Zack hurried to the front of the camera while shouting.

Not until then did Robert ask for a stop. Then the crew all walked over and only found that Ronnie’s swollen face was beaten black and blue. He looked miserable and totally disfigured.

He kept flinching back while staring at Leo with horror in his eyes. He hid himself behind Zack as if he got a straw to clutch at.

Leo came to Zack’s front with a smile, “Please tell Neil I really appreciate Mr. Ronnie’s sacrifice for the filming. He deserves our greatest respect.”

Looking at Ronnie, who seemed to be about to snuff it, Zack shouted with great panic, “You have just committed assault and battery against him! I gotta call the police!”

“Assault and battery?” Leo replied with a wry smile. He looked at him and counter questioned, “We were just filming. And I still remembered I had asked for his opinion about having a stand-in. But he refused. Now you accuse me of battery just because he got badly hurt?”

Speechless, Zack glared at him, feeling panic.

“You still have time to send him to the hospital before he is really dead.” Leo squinted to say.

Hearing that, Zack felt like being struck hard into his heart. His soul seemed to fall into violent tremor under Leo’s gaze. He hurried to support Ronnie out of the filming location, having no encourage to stay even for one more second.

When both of them left, the crew fell into long silence. They all stared at Leo with great disbelief. Even Michelle looked at him in a way that he seemed to be a stranger to her. Just silence of all still lasted.

Lydia was the only one who showed no surprise about that. During the battery just now, Lydia had been playing with Emilia. So the little girl didn’t see the bloody scene a moment ago.

Leo walked to Robert’s front, “How is the filming just now?”

Robert started to check all the clips they had filmed. Then he chose the best one. Ruddy-looking, he couldn’t help praising, “Perfect. Every single punch straightly hit onto the flesh. I bet it would definitely fail this part if we did it with a stand-in.”

His appreciation rooted from the bottom of his heart. A better version would always be compromised if it was a stand-in shown in front of the camera. However, commonly speaking, most actors would flinch when facing a real fight. After all, no one dared to risk his own life in the filming industry except for Jackie Chan.

“Now it’s time for the main part of the ad.” Robert glanced at Leo to speak, looking cautious.

Of course, he clearly noticed that Leo required Ronnie to play opposite him out of a sense of revenge instead of his generosity.

Ronnie’s family had been known as the BIG FOUR in the Emerdale city. And Robert was quite aware of that. However, the young man standing right in front of him showed no fear to beat Ronnie up. Obviously, his family was not match for him.

Leo nodded and reached out his hand, “It’s my honor to work with you.”

“The honor is mine!” this time, Robert gave a handshake with both hands, looking excited.

After the formality, they started to film.

The ad consisted of two parts, the first of which was played by Michelle as the leading female role. While it was Lydia who played as the other leading role in part two. The story traveled from the ancient time to the modern era.

There would be continuous shot cuts during filming. Only those sophisticated cameramen could do this job well.

“Both the hero and heroine need to approach each other closer and closer. Then there will be close-ups for each of your face. The heroine has to show her eyes filled with surprise and gloom. That’s gotta be a real test for the actress. After that, both of you need to stare at each other affectionately.”

Robert shouted loud. Even veins could be seen on his neck.

Then there came soft music. Leo, dressing in costume, slowly approached Michelle.

As a talented student of Music Maestro, she soon fit in the character emotionally as soon as the music started.

When she raised up her head to look at Leo, a trace of surprise flashed across her eyes. But then it was replaced by strong sense of gloom. She looked exactly like a lady bearing great isolation and loneliness.
