Chapter 201 Retaliation
Leo wasn’t surprised about the sudden change of Robert’s attitude. He replied with a smile, “Now I
have made myself recognized?”
“For sure!”
Robert wore a guilty face because of his awful attitude a moment ago, “Mr. Cohen, I am so sorry for
what I’ve done.”
Leo nodded, showing no intention to retaliate.
After all, Robert was trying to make the best version of the ad. though he appeared to be stubborn and
inflexible.
Actually, he had never stood out in the industry again after Cody Davidson was released. His desire to
return to his prime caused his weird temperament and stubbornness, not allowing even a question from
his crew.
At this moment, Michelle walked over and persuaded sensibly, “Mr. Robert, please drop your question
and prejudice. You may find something sparkling from someone else. Everyone has their own
understanding worth priceless value. Being open-minded always leads to a better decision than being
dictatorial.”
Robert bowed to Leo with great sense of guilt, “Mr. Cohen, I am so sorry.”
His attitude of compromise just now might be more likely to be caused by annoyance because of what
Lydia had said. But now he truly paid his greatest respect to Leo. What was more, Leo was a rookie
with no experience of relevant industry. But he actually managed to convince Robert, who was known
to be obstinate and unruly.
Leo hurried to stop his bow and continued composedly, “Don’t be sorry. I know we are both for the
same goal—to make the best of the ad. That’s it.”
While saying that, Leo suddenly suggested, “But, it’s still preferable to fill the name of Ronnie in the
cast.”
Robert paused, a bit surprised, “What for? We have decided that you should play the leading man.”
Leo responded with a casual smile, “I still remember there seem to be a fight scene before the real ad.”
“Yes.”
But then Robert explained, “It won’t be a live action part. We will present it with computer graphics.”
Leo shook his head, “No. I want live action only to make it perfect.”
Robert was surprised with his eyes wide open, “You mean…”
Leo smiled, but looking chill, “Direct the camera right onto his face. No stand-in.”
Robert wore a serious look. But he still beckoned the assistant director over to tell him to notice Ronnie
here.
“But I don’t think it’s a good idea.”
Michelle expressed her worry frankly, “Ronnie is an excellent black belt Taekwondo fighter. What if he
fails to control his strength?”
Leo replied to ease her worried look, “Don’t worry. He won’t be capable enough to do any harm to me.”
Looking at his smile, Michelle could tell what he was thinking. But annoyed by Ronnie and also his
family, she didn’t intend to stop Leo.
Meanwhile, both Ronnie and Zack swaggered inside and looked around with a frivolous smile. Then
Ronnie fixed his eyes on Leo, “See? How could it be possible that a dumbass with zero experience will
be qualified enough to play the leading role? Now it’s still my turn. What a waste of my time!”
Leo still remained composed with an emotionless face. As both of them took a walk outside just now,
they had no idea about what happened in the crew.
Robert walked over to huff, “Ronnie, don’t be mistaken. You won’t replace the role of Mr. Cohen.
Instead, you will play opposite him.”
Hearing that, Ronnie came into a sudden pause. Stunned, he took a look at Leo, “He didn’t get
expelled?”
Leo grinned with his glowing white teeth exposed.
“Huh, you get the biggest fortune in your life!”
Ronnie huffed with disdain and looked away.
Though still confused, he stayed unspoken. After all, being able to play in the ad. still made him feel
better.
“So, what about the details?” asked Ronnie’s manager.
Robert told him the details about the fight scene. Both Zack and Ronnie were rendered stunned. Then
Ronnie grinned awkwardly while looking at Leo, “Are you sure you don’t need a stand-in?”
“No.” Leo replied with a smile while staring at him wryly.
“What a man!” Ronnie laughed out as if he had foreseen Leos’ face being black and blue. Then he said
to Michellle, “Michelle, just watch my show.”
With undisguised disdain shown on her face, Michelle looked at Leo with worried face.
But Leo didn’t seem to care. He said to Robert, “It’s time. Let’s take action.”
Robert nodded and gestured, “Three, two, in…action!”
The crew for lighting and filming all got ready in position. Ronnie sneered and made a threatening
gesture toward Leo.
Composed still, Leo simply ignored his provocation.
With no hesitation, Ronnie straightly rushed forward and was about to hit Leo right into his face with his
fist.
As a sophisticated black belt Taekwondo fighter, he knew how to knock down a man instantly.
Undoubtedly, he had no intention to spare mercy.
Leo still looked composed as if he were facing a dead body.
Standing still, he watched him rushing over. And suddenly, Leo punched on his face.
A crack sounded inside Ronnie’s nose, on the surface of which blood splashed out.
“Ahhhh!”
Ronnie screamed, covering his nose with eyes wide open. He stared at the composed face of Leo with
great disbelief.
Then, hatred started to burn in his eyes. He bellowed, “What the hell are you doing?”
Leo shook his head, “That’s the wrong line.”
Then he turned around to say to Robert, “Mr. Robert, that’s not his line. Let’s cut and refilm it.”
Robert started at both of them, hesitant. He could tell from their eyes that they both wanna kill each
other.
But the best version of filming could only be presented when it was doing its best to get close to the
reality.
So proper sacrifice still appeared to be worthy for the sake of a nice ad.
So Robert dropped his hesitation. He exclaimed, “Again!”
Bang!
Another punch of Leo straightly hit on Ronnie’s jaw.
A crack sounded loud inside his jaw this time.
Ronnie kept flinching. His mouth and nose were both filled with blood. When he was looking at Leo this
time, his eyes were overwhelmed with horror.
“That’s not how your eyes should look like. Refilm!” said Leo.
After saying that, Leo rushed over to his front and kicked him hard into his belly.
Bang!
Ronnie curled up his body while flying in the air. His saliva and gastric acid both ran out of throat
because of the kick.
Again and again, Leo always figured out some excuses to keep picky about Ronnie’s performance. As
a result, he had to be beaten over and over again during the endless refilming.
Leo initiated each attack stronger than the last one. After a few times of fight, Ronnie was rendered
