Everyone hates me (end)

11. Super Villain

Jerome protests, "You got eleven script. Why did you pick this one?"

"Simple. The others aren't interesting."

School drama. Ancient costume drama.

Jeff has acted in such film. He wants to try something new.

Jerome took this script because it pays well. Higher than other ones.

He asks, "Are you sure about this? The role is a super villain one. You massacred the whole village."

"Awesome! I always wanna do genocide thing."

Jerome sighs. Jeff probably took it for money. The actor seems had stopped blinking after staring to the zeroes behind the number one.

10,000 yuans.

The highest record for Jeff Lin so far.

Jerome takes Jeff to sign the contract. The actor got the ongoing script. Li Tao is unlike other director who never changed the script. He demands the best acting from his crews.

The script would be changed according to his will. That's why a screenwriter is always on standby in shooting site.

A week later...
It's a bright sunny morning in a bamboo forest.

A man dressed in black is smirking to his junior apprentice brother. He stares the latter as if he's a dead bug.

He mocks, "Once blood tainted your hands, nothing matters anymore. Your conscience went still. Victims?"

Jeff laughs like any other villain.

"Cut!" yells the director.

He scolds, "Jeff, stop laughing like a pervert villain in a school drama. You are an elegant villain. Blackened because your whole family got slain. Not even a baby sister was spared."

Jeff bows his head and apologizes, "Sorry! Let me try again!"

"Take five. We shall shoot again."

After five minutes, the shooting begins again.

Jeff laughs again and he heard, "Cut! That's an idiotic laugh! Can't you get it right?"

"Sorry, director!"

Jeff got scolded again and again for the next hour.

The director warns, "This is your last chance. If you can't get it right, you are out of my crews."

Jeff got sweats on his forehead. He has acted numerous villain roles. This is the first time he got into troubles like this.

Maybe Jerome was right. This movie got higher level than usual ones. Oh, well. Here goes nothing. Probably got kicked out anyway.

Assistant director calls, "Everyone! Get ready in... 3...2...1...Action!"

"Clap!"

Jeff mocks, "Once blood tainted your hands, nothing matters anymore. Your conscience went still. Victims?"

He has resigned his fate. He laughs a bit bitter and remorsed than his usual villain style.

He speaks like a tired person, losing motivation to live.

"Victims, you said? Nothing than numbers. Dead flies. Fallen under your blade."

"CUT!"

Jeff's shoulders slump.

The director taps his shoulder and then praises, "You got it right! He used to be a son of heaven. A proud man. Now he is nothing more than a cold blooded killer. His heart is just tired."
