Liang Hao had a mishap. Many people in the circle liked it. Within two days, the crew found a substitute actor. The person who was in charge of the wires{n1} in the technical group was also replaced. Now the biggest problem for the crew was that Lin Cheng was injured and he was temporarily unable to film.

Note1: wires for filming, to carry the actor mid air

If it’s only for a few days then it’s fine. But the doctor said that Lin Cheng would need to recuperate for at least a month. The crew’s daily shooting progress was already arranged, and Lin Cheng was an important second male lead. The crew could not afford to delay for a month.

The crew was also reluctant to replace Lin Cheng, not only because Haiyin Entertainment behind Lin Cheng was one of the investors in the show, but also because of his fame and huge fans. The vice-director decided to find a substitute to film the scenes that did not need to show his face, wait for Lin Cheng to heal, then shoot the other scenes.

After discussing with Lin Cheng, Lin Cheng agreed. Although the injury of their merman’s leg will be a thousand times more painful than that of humans, but correspondingly, the recovery ability was very fast. His legs would be fine after a few days.

The crew asked some actors to come over to audition, but after watching a few, they were either too tall or fat, and they were not very satisfied. The vice-director was worried, and he heard a hissing voice coming from the side. He turned around and saw that Lin Cheng’s cousin was sitting in the corner and nibbling a duck neck.

The vice-director’s heart suddenly moved, and he walked over and asked with a smile, “Eating a duck neck?”

Jiang Yu finished a duck neck, his eyes were wet, and he quickly picked up a can of iced Coke and took a big sip of happiness. Hearing someone say hello to him, he looked up and enthusiastically pushed the duck neck in front of the director. “Do you want to eat?”

“No, I’m afraid of spiciness.” The vice-director shook his head and sat in the chair next to him. Later, he asked, “Are you interested in filming?”

“Filming?” Jiang Yu froze slightly.

The vice-director said, “Well, it’s a substitute for Cheng Cheng. You and his body are similar in size and age, and you are a very suitable candidate. Are you interested?”

Jiang Yu blinked confusedly. Cheng Cheng was injured and couldn’t shoot a movie. The vice-director wanted him as a substitute. But if he became Cheng Cheng’s substitute, he won’t know anything.

The vice-director saw his blankness and took the initiative, “Are you worried that you haven’t learned how to perform and are afraid of a bad performance? It’s okay, the scene to be filmed is easy, and the director and I will guide you.”

Jiang Yu was a little emotional. It was interesting to watch Cheng Cheng fly around the field. Can he try it himself?

The vice-director wanted to say a few words, but the director asked the assistant to come and tell him something. “You discuss with Cheng Cheng. If you want to act, come to me.”

Lin Cheng was pushed out of the bathroom by Zheng Ming in a wheelchair and watched as the vice-director walked away from Jiang Yu and he asked Jiang Yu, “Yu er, what was the vice-director looking for?”

Jiang Yu replied, “He asked me if I wanted to be your substitute.”

Lin Cheng frowned. “The crew couldn’t find even a stand-in actor, and came to ask you? You’re not an actor and you can’t act.”

Zheng Ming pushed his glasses up, smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if he is not an actor. You are currently unable to act. This is an ancient show, he’s just a substitute actor. With a director to teach him, it shouldn’t be difficult.”

Such a handsome child, to not enter the entertainment industry, it is a pity.

Lin Cheng was still frowning. From time to time, the show would hang a person on a wire and fly around. Jiang Yu had fish eggs in his stomach, which was too dangerous.

He was about to ask Zheng Ming to refuse the vice-director when Jiang Yu took his arm, “Cheng Cheng, I want to try it.”

“No, it’s too dangerous to use wire and fly around.” Lin Cheng disagreed.

“I’m not so fragile, and I have the handkerchief, there will be no danger.” Jiang Yu took out the handkerchief in his pocket. His grandfather said that mermans were not as fragile as humans. Besides, he had the fish eggs more than a month now, and the agitation of the fish eggs was not obvious. There was this handkerchief stained with that man’s aura, and it would calm the fish eggs if something went wrong.

Lin Cheng still didn’t agree and Jiang Yu shook his arm and persuaded him, “Cheng Cheng, let me try it.”

Zheng Ming did not understand their conversation, hanging wire had nothing to do with a handkerchief, he began, “I’m going to ask the vice-director. There shouldn’t be many scenes where the substitute actor uses the wire.”

Jiang Yu nodded again and again, “Go, go and ask.”

Seeing Lin Cheng had no objection, Zheng Ming went to the vice-director. After a while, he came back and said, “About four or five scenes, not too much.”

Jiang Yu quickly shook Lin Cheng’s arm again, “Cheng Cheng, you listen. There will be not many scenes.”

Lin Cheng was shaken by him. Seeing him staring at him again and again, his heart softened, and he said loosely, “Then you try first, if there is danger…”

Seeing him agree, Jiang Yu curved his mouth happily, “There will be no danger.”
