Chapter 931: 931

In the film industry, everyone had a unique aura. When a new actor met an experienced one, he would easily feel a strong aura from the latter and it would make him uncontrollably nervous.

Generally, a new actor wouldn’t be able to perform as well as usual when faced with an experienced actor.

Thus, everyone was waiting to see how well Fang Qiu could perform and if he would be outshone by the experienced actor, though he performed quite well in the second scene.

To them, it was okay that Fang Qiu was outshone by the experienced actor, but they would be disappointed if Fang Qiu performed too worse.

Naturally, Chen Xiaogang was worried about Fang Qiu’s performance as well. He was afraid that Fang Qiu couldn’t speak his lines well.

However, after thinking that the shooting went on well that day and they had completed the shooting of the first two scenes in a short time, he was relieved.

“Get ready! The third scene starts,” he said after a simple rest.

“The third scene: Yang Yizhi argued with Zhu Yuanzhang in anger! Action!”

As the script supervisor closed the clapperboard, the shooting of the third scene started.

On the screen.

Yang Yizhi killed eighteen killers and returned to the thatched cottage with blood all over his body.

However, when he opened the door and entered the room, he found that there was nobody in the room and the window was left open.

Obviously, that businessman had left!

Staring at the empty room, Yang Yizhi was bursting with anger, and his eyes turned icy.

He had put his life on the line to save that businessman, but that man left him behind and ran away alone.

Fang Qiu was completely immersed in playing the role.

Seeing that Fang Qiu was bursting with emotions through the monitor, Chen Xiaogang clenched his fists tightly.

“Well done!” He secretly cheered for Fang Qiu.

He didn’t expect that Fang Qiu could handle this subtle emotion so well.

On the screen, furious, Fang Qiu immediately left the room and went to chase Zhu Yuanzhang.

Then, Fang Qiu’s solo part was completed.

The following part would involve both him and the experienced actor.

Everyone’s attention was focused on him.

Soon, Yang Yizhi reached the back mountain, and there, he found Zhu Yuanzhang, who was hiding in the grass.

Thinking that the killers had caught up with him and were looking for him, Zhu Yuanzhang held his breath nervously and didn’t even dare to open his eyes, hoping that he could survive.

However, he heard footsteps approaching him and stopping beside him.

He opened his eyes in despair, only to see Yang Yizhi, who was covered in blood.

He was shocked at first, and when he saw Yang Yizhi’s face, he froze.

He quickly stood up and felt relaxed in an instant.

He thought he was safe.

However, the next second, he saw an icy and even hostile look in Yang Yizhi’s eyes.

“Haha.”

Zhu Yuanzhang guffawed and quickly cupped his fists at Yang Yizhi, saying, “You’re young yet a hero. It seems that you have killed those bandits for me. How should I express my gratitude?”

He then added, “How about going with me and joining my business? We’ll make a fortune.”

Upon hearing those words, Yang Yizhi shouted at him angrily. “Zhu Yuanzhang! You’re about to become the emperor of this country! Don’t you think it was shameless for you to trick a 16-year-old boy?”

Hearing this, Chen Xiaogang, who was watching the monitor, immediately stoop up.

“Good. The emotions in the tone were accurate.”

Chen Xiaogang became excited.

He was surprised to see that Fang Qiu wasn’t outshone by the experienced actor, and instead, he played the role perfectly.

As a new actor, he was really amazing!

The shooting continued.

On the screen, Zhu Yuanzhang was startled by Fang Qiu’s words and took a step back. He reached for the saber that was hidden by his waist and stared at Yang Yizhi, saying, “Did you mistake me as someone else?”

“No.”

Yang Yizhi sneered and replied, “When you broke into the city, I saw you from afar. If I hadn’t recognized you just now, you would already be dead. I wouldn’t have helped you without knowing who you are.”

The expressions of Li Baoguo, the performer of the role Zhu Yuanzhang, kept changing as he listened to Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu showed no fear.

He said in a tone of disappointment, “People always say that you’re a hero, but now, I can tell they are wrong. You can go now, and I won’t see you off!”

He snorted in disappointment and turned to leave.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked hesitant and his expression became even more complicated.

Soon, the scene was finished.

Chen Xiaogang was finally relieved.

Everyone present applauded again.

“Not bad! Fang Qiu knows how to perform!”

“Well, he not only knows how to perform but also performed much better than those handsome idols.”

“He is awesome! He wasn’t outshone by Li Baoguo; instead, he performed so great and steadily. He is really awesome!”

Chen Xiaogang was no longer worried.

He believed that Fang Qiu would perform well in the following scenes, judging by his previous performance.

“Guys, let’s work harder to make a great movie for the people of our country and even the whole world,” Chen Xiaogang said excitedly.

Everyone present was excited and in high spirits.

“You performed well.”

He Gaoming walked to Fang Qiu after the third scene and said with a smile, “But not as well as me. And your role is just a nobody, while my role is an emperor. Do you envy me?”

Hearing that, all the people present were speechless and thought that He Gaoming was being funny.

At this moment, Chen Xiaogang suddenly felt a little doleful.

“This… is hard to handle.”

Looking at the scenes that had already been shot, Zhao Xiaogang smiled bitterly and thought, “A movie is only about 120 minutes long. The shooting has just started today, and scenes about seven or eight minutes long have been finished. We shot too fast, and this makes me feel worried.”

Zhao Rulong saw through Chen Xiaogang’s mind.

Immediately, he stepped forward and patted Chen Xiaogang on the shoulder. “Our actors are all professional martial arts practitioners. It is natural we could shoot so quickly. Most importantly, they all performed well, so we could work so fast.”

Chen Xiaogang’s eyes lit up and he immediately became excited, saying, “If we continue to shoot at this speed, the movie might be released during the summer vacation!”

Summer vacation was also the Domestic Movie Protection Month, which was a prime time for movies.

“That’s the best.”

Zhao Rulong laughed and said, “In any case, we have to strive for it. Maybe the ticket sales of this movie will break the record.”

“Haha,” Chen Xiaogang laughed loudly and said, “I hope so.”

The purpose of making a movie was to make money.

Both Chen Xiaogang and Zhao Rulong certainly had high expectations for the ticket sales of the movie.

Despite that, what they needed to do most was to guarantee the quality of the movie!

He continued to shoot the scenes involving Fang Qiu and Li Baoguo.

It was about how Zhu Yuanzhang returned and begged Yang Yizhi to protect him and escort him to the campground.

After those scenes were finished, all the actors were resting.

Because the shooting of this part was finished, all the crew would have to go to Jiangnan for the shooting of the next part.

On the way there, Fang Qiu seized every minute to practice, not daring to waste even a second.

While other crew members were heading to Jiangnan by train, Fang Qiu applied to go back to school. After all, there was still some time before the whole crew could arrive in Jiangnan and the school had already started, so Fang Qiu had to go back and show up.

As soon as he arrived at the school, Fang Qiu went straight to Chen Yinsheng, the principal, to apply to take the exit exam of the semester again.

Certainly, Chen Yinsheng agreed.

Fang Qiu’s teachers were already used to it, so they didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

What surprised Fang Qiu most was that the teachers had already prepared the test papers for him since they had long been used to it.

Fang Qiu walked out of Chen Yinsheng’s office.

After that, he went straight into the examination room prepared by the teachers and took the exit exam directly.

This time, Fang Qiu got an A in each subject just like he did in previous years.

After the exam, Fang Qiu left the school at once. Looking at Fang Qiu’s exam papers in the school, his teachers couldn’t help sighing with emotion.

After leaving school, Fang Qiu took a plane to meet the crew members.

Before he asked for leave, he already knew that the crew was heading to Shiqiu Film and Television Base, so he went straight there by air.

The other crew members also arrived at the Shiqiu Film and Television Base that night.

After all the crew members, as well as the big trucks that carried the instruments, arrived, they had a meal together.

In the evening, the actors were talking about the following plot of the movie and practicing their lines, while others were preparing for the shooting of the following part.

“Roar!”

Suddenly, a tiger’s roar rang out.

The ordinary crew members didn’t feel anything strange, but when those people of Wulin heard it, they all stood up at the same time.

They could clearly feel that the roar was unusual!

They thought that the roar probably came from a guardian beast.

Their expressions changed slightly, and they looked at each other as if they were hiding something.

In their opinion, this unusual tiger roar probably indicated the existence of Heaven and Earth Treasures around. After all, guardian beasts would only appear where there were Heaven and Earth Treasures.

Fang Qiu remained calm and collected in the crowd.

He pretended to be confused when everyone suddenly stood up.

He Gaoming looked more serious than anyone else. After standing up, he immediately took out his mobile phone, opened the map, and checked the surrounding mountains on the map.

“Crouching Tiger Mountain?”

Seeing the name, He Gaoming immediately frowned.

“What’s going on?”

Chen Xiaogang cast a puzzled look at them. He did not understand why they suddenly became so vigilant!
