King of Hollywood

Chapter 423: Chapter 145 Oscar oh Oscar

With a loud clang, the police burst through the door and quickly took control of the situation—at least it seemed that way. The room was small and felt empty because it was sparsely furnished, with only a table and a laptop on it, and a woman in a tight leather jacket typing at the computer.

“You’re under arrest, ma’am,” the leading officer said, shining a flashlight on her back.

The woman obediently stood up and placed her hands behind her head. Another officer took out handcuffs and advanced to handcuff her. However, just as the cuffs touched her wrists, there was a sudden change. With lightning speed, she twisted the officer’s wrist and struck him in the face. Before the other officers could react, she had swiftly knocked them down.

The last officer, seeing this, tried to draw his gun, but the woman kicked a chair at him, hitting him squarely. The final officer barely dodged the first blow, but just as he was getting up, the woman leaped into the air, ready to kick. The scene froze at this moment for several seconds until a voice called out, “Cut!”

The two actors immediately relaxed, the officers straightened up, and the woman was lowered down by wires and began moving around.

“Your hand strike was too soft just now. Do you understand what a ‘hand strike’ is? It should be fiercer. Don’t worry about hurting them; you’re not strong enough to do real damage,” Yuan Heping immediately went over to the actors and started explaining, despite his still somewhat shaky English. Normally, communication was fine, but when it came to technical terms, he needed a translator, so directing took a lot of effort.

“Come here, Yuan, let’s analyze this again. We’re about to do the first real shot,” Adrian’s voice called at this moment.

Yuan Heping nodded, gave a few more explanations, and then joined Adrian, who was talking with a cinematographer, surrounded by several cameras. Needless to say, what they were about to shoot was a 360-degree filming of Trinity’s aerial kick, requiring several high-speed cameras around the scene. This technique, known as “bullet time,” wasn’t an original idea from any specific sibling duo; it was greatly influenced by Yuan, who proposed the method of circular shooting—a fact Adrian remembered clearly. So instead of directing the crew as usual, he let Yuan handle it.

“I need to capture Trinity’s kick in 360 degrees within the frame. Do you have any ideas?” he asked Yuan straightforwardly.
