Scene 9 - "The highlight of the show is finally over!"

The plains are naturally beautiful in spring, with gurgling clear streams meandering through them and lush forests stretching endlessly.

A group of people were riding horses, galloping on the broad plain. The horses' hooves were tumbling, their long manes were flying, and they ran out of the royal majesty and solemnity.

The scenery was so beautiful that it took Director Huang over an hour to take all the shots he wanted finally.

One of the shots was of Su Xinghe.

His face is a little pale, and his lips have no color, but his eyes are as bright as stars, his face is like a crown jewel, and his expression is calm. Coupled with his riding posture, his weakness has a lingering flavor, which exactly suits the posture of a beautiful man in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Even Director Huang, who has photographed countless handsome men and beauties, couldn't help but praise it in his heart.

With such conditions, as long as he is given a good leading actor, Su Xinghe will be able to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry.

He even couldn't help but start thinking about which drama among the IPs purchased by the company would be the most suitable for Su Xinghe.

After the scene was successfully filmed, Director Huang rubbed his hands and started looking forward to the second scene.

Su Xinghe was also eager to give it a try.

Because after the next major scene is filmed, there is not much left for his role, and it can be completed in half a month at most. Completing the film not only means that he can get the final payment but also means that he can concentrate on preparing for the weapon spirit exam.

He was happy and worked extremely hard when acting. When Director Huang started, he immediately got into the mood.

In the forest, a deer flashed past. Yi Tian's eyes lit up, and he pulled the reins and said, "Let's go."

Su Xinghe frowned slightly, obviously a little worried, but he did not hesitate and followed Yi Tian with his hands on the horse's belly. sky.

The guards were guarding them, and they entered the forest together.

Unfortunately, what was waiting for them in the forest was not a deer but several arrows coming from all directions.

For the safety of the actors, of course, the arrows would not be shot directly at them. They would all be missed. The shot of blocking the arrows would only need to be shot later.

The arrow was deflected, but its direction was not opposite, so an arrow appeared next to Su Xinghe.

He subconsciously pulled out the sword hanging diagonally under the saddle.

Brush, the long sword that was just a prop, was suddenly swung with a sharp light.

There was a harsh sound of metal colliding, and the arrow was blocked and fell to the ground.

Among the several camera seats at the scene, one happened to be for Su Xinghe, so this scene was directly recorded on the monitor.

On the screen, his movements were extremely clean and powerful, but the opposite of his movements was his state. Although his hands were steady enough to block the hidden arrows coming from the side, his expression seemed a bit reluctant.

At least people outside the camera can feel that he is not in a good state at the moment. At first glance, he looks like someone who has just recovered from a serious illness.

But he did not stop because of this, but quickly controlled the horse and rushed in the direction of Yi Tian.

No one thought that Su Xinghe caught the arrow, but the director didn't stop, so they could only continue acting.

Yi Tian quickly recovered his mind and saw Su Xinghe riding towards him on horseback. His pale face was full of worry, and his eyes were full of his safety. For a moment, he thought he had seen that person, Su Zezhi, exist in the script.

This made him immediately forget all the complicated emotions that had just arisen.

"Zezhi!" He couldn't help but call out the name of this friend and minister.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xinghe was already in front of him.

"Your Highness is leaving first, and I will be behind you."

Yi Tian looked at him deeply, a look that contained both relief and worry. Su Xinghe was someone he trusted, and with Su Xinghe around, he naturally felt at ease, but he was also worried about Su Xinghe's safety.

But this was not the time to hesitate, so Yi Tian pulled the reins and was ready to leave.

It was at this time that an arrow shot straight from the front.

This angle was extremely tricky, and it actually passed directly past the guards guarding the surroundings and went straight to Yi Tian's chest.

Of course, this arrow is real, but it still won't hit the actor. It will only give a close-up of the arrow, and only two or three scenes will be edited later.

So this scene should end here.

Director Huang didn't shout because he was looking at the monitor and didn't have time.

As an experienced actor, Yi Tian has encountered many such situations, so naturally, nothing happened.

Su Xinghe didn't realize that the scene was about to end. Seeing that the arrow was about to hit Yi Tian, ​​his pupils shrank, and he jumped up from his horse almost without thinking.

No one knew how he did it. He even twisted in mid-air and grabbed the arrow with his hand.

The arrow had already lost its strength due to the steel wire attached to it. Su Xinghe's grasp did not hurt him. He took advantage of the situation and sent the arrow forward, and the tip of the arrow pierced the blood bag on his chest.

This scene was supposed to be completed by Su Xinghe wearing a wire suit in the next scene, but he completed it himself.

Director Huang immediately came to his senses. He was just a few seconds late and didn't shout cut. Why did Su Xinghe just act in the next part of the scene?

The key is that Su Xinghe isn't wearing any Wei Ya clothes yet!

How did he make that immediate leap? If the waist is twisted like this, won't it break it?

Their crew is the crew of a palace drama, right? When did martial arts dramas break in?

If it weren't for the fact that they were still filming, he would have wanted to stand up and ask Su Xinghe.

The rest of the crew were also stunned.

The teacher in charge of wires looked at his colleagues, then looked at Su Xinghe, and was certain that Su Xinghe was not wearing wires.

So how did he do it?

The crew members had question marks above their heads; out of respect, they tried hard to suppress their surprise.

Yi Tian was also surprised. His eyes moved slightly; disbelief and shock flashed in his eyes.

Not only because of the difficulty of Su Xinghe's movements but also because of Su Xinghe's anxiety and worry revealed in his movements.

There's no doubt, no hesitation.

It was as if at this moment he was the protected fifth prince, and Su Xinghe was the confidant who sacrificed his life for him.

His expression changed, and he immediately jumped off the horse.

He had tried this action before, but because of some scruples in his heart, he failed without exception.

But this time, despite some stumbling and almost falling, he got off the horse.

As soon as he got there, he couldn't help but hug Su Xinghe, who was on the ground.

"Ze Zhi, Ze Zhi!"

Yi Tian called Su Xinghe's name in a panic, completely forgetting that he was still in the dangerous forest at that moment.

Because at this moment, in his increasingly blurred eyes, he could only see the blood red slowly spreading on Su Xinghe's chest.

Su Xinghe gasped with difficulty: "Your Highness, run away quickly."

He opened his mouth but could only spit out incoherent words.

There was no blood on the corners of his mouth, and his makeup had not been retouched, but at this moment, he looked like a dying person.

Pain, powerlessness, weakness, nostalgia, worry...

There is only one pair of eyes, but they can show so many emotions.

As expected, the talent is terrifying.

Director Huang looked at Su Xinghe, who slowly closed his eyes, and then at Yi Tian, ​​whose eyes were already red, and felt that the crew might have burned incense today.

He originally thought that such an important scene would be shot over and over again. After all, many scenes required the use of a stand-in teacher and Wia. Who knew that this was only the first time and so much material had already been shot?

What made him even more satisfied was that both actors performed very well—their emotions were full and smooth and very contagious.

Yi Tian's painful cries reached his ears, and Director Huang finally stopped with satisfaction.

When Yi Tian heard the sound of a stop, he slowly calmed down the expression on his face.

Maybe because he was too involved, he felt a little exhausted.

He didn't want to get up, and neither did Su Xinghe.

Because Su Xinghe tragically discovered that he seemed to have overacted.

The director had told him before that after he drew out his sword, he only needed to put on a posture. Naturally, there would be a stand-in teacher later to take additional shots. The action of leaping from the horse also required wearing wires to ensure safety.

Even in the scene where he was lying in Yi Tian's arms, he had to reapply his makeup and then put a blood bag in his mouth so that he could smoothly show his dying state and spit out a mouthful or two of blood.

But he forgot about it as soon as he started filming.

Su Xinghe was a little annoyed and felt that he was disappointed.

You can forget such an important thing!

I guess these shots will have to be reshot in a while.

Yi Tian saw that he had an expression of despair as soon as he opened his eyes, so he couldn't help but push him and say, "Get up quickly; he's dead again."

Su Xinghe quickly stood up and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Brother Tian, I'm holding you down."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to help Yi Tian up.

Yi Tian wanted to ignore this hand, but thinking about Su Zezhi, who only wanted to serve the fifth prince, he felt a little softhearted, so he still held Su Xinghe's hand.

When Director Huang saw them both standing up, he called out to them, "Both of you, come here."

Su Xinghe suddenly felt like he was about to be caught and disciplined by his master.

Sure enough, the first thing Director Huang said when he met him was, "You kid, you dare to jump off a horse without wearing wires. You won't allow it next time!"

Su Xinghe immediately stated that he would never dare to do it again.

I originally thought that Director Huang would say a few more words, but unexpectedly he changed the subject and asked how Su Xinghe did it.

Su Xinghe:...

"Maybe it's because I've been practicing well since childhood?"

Taoists are also good at martial arts. Although he has no achievements in alchemy, fortune telling, or catching ghosts, he is still very productive in practicing martial arts.

Therefore, jumping from a horse, which is a very dangerous action for many people, is not difficult at all for him to do.

Director Huang saw that he didn't have any problems at all. He had neither a twisted waist nor sprained legs. He secretly added a note to this good-acting seedling: "It should be very good in acting."

"But forget it this time; we will still shoot as agreed before." Although Director Huang liked the effect of Su Xinghe's on-the-spot performance this time, he still said a few symbolic words but did not wait for Su Xinghe to express his position again. He added, "I am quite satisfied with most of the shots in this scene. I will just do a little more reshoots later."

To prove his satisfaction, he pointed to one of the camera positions and said, "This shot is very good."

What happened to appear on the screen was Su Xinghe's figure, and the scene of him drawing his sword and riding his horse was so beautiful that no editing was needed.

The scene where he sacrificed his life to block the arrow for Yi Tian was also captured by another camera at a very suitable angle. It was impossible to tell that the arrow was sent to his chest by himself.

"It's a good thing your arrow is fixed well; otherwise, it would be a pity if it fell." Director Huang said happily.

Su Xinghe directly pulled off the arrow, then opened his clothes, revealing the blood bag that was pierced on the front and back, and said happily, "Fortunately, I used my strength; otherwise, it would have fallen off."

If it was only inserted into the blood bag, that was shaky.

He pulled like this, and Yi Tian was shaken by his white and shining collarbone and turned his head in disgust. He looked so white, and he was not a man at all!

Upon seeing this, Director Huang smiled and said, "Anyway, today went well, and Yi Tian's last shot was also very good and very contagious."

Director Huang then praised Yi Tian for five minutes.

Yi Tian:...

Thank you, Master of Water Balance*.
