The Queen’s Rise to the Top

Chapter 294

In contrast, Red Eagle did not seem as angry as Yin Zun.

She had her hands clasped under her chin, looking at her subordinate with a hint of interest.

Red Eagle: "So what do you think should be done?"

Yin Zun was confused by her beguiling gesture, but still hardened himself to answer: "Expel the flagship and leave it in the starry sea to fend for itself!"

Red Eagle smiled and got up to tidy the documents: "I'll give you a task. The flagship Titan has run out of resources. Find a resource planet within three days and go collect them."

Yin Zun's expression was strange: "Yes!"

He got up, saluted, and then strode out of the conference room.

When Yin Zun's back disappeared from the doorway, Red Eagle's movements stopped for a moment.

She turned her head towards a corner: "Come out."

"Hehe!" Wu Xing swaggered out, waving his hand while laughing: "Don't be angry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

Red Eagle turned to face him directly: "I warned you not to arbitrarily override permissions."

Wu Xing: "If you don't want me to override them, then I won't. But are you really going to expel me? I'm so heartbroken!"

Slap!

Red Eagle slapped the documents in her hand on the table, her tone icy: "Talk slick with me again and I'll kill you!"

Wu Xing pouted: "Always beating and killing people, how vicious."

Red Eagle was expressionless. She picked up the documents and strode out of the conference room.

Wu Xing stood in place, smiling at the corners of his mouth.

...

Feng Kai Ji excitedly shouted: "Cut! Wonderful, amazing!"

Going through such a long scene without a single pause, with every actor performing perfectly to the utmost.

Simply divine!

Especially Nan Xiang Wan.

Feng Kai Ji now looked at Nan Xiang Wan like looking at an idol. The script didn't specify small gestures like tapping the table or propping up her chin, they were all Nan Xiang Wan's own design.

Bringing the character instantly to life!

As soon as the director called cut, Lan Tian You immediately jumped out of character and jogged over to Gu Beihuai.

Lan Tianyou: "Boss Gu, boss Gu, how was my performance?"

Gu Beihuai didn't have time to bother with him. He strode straight towards Nan Xiang Wan and sat down next to her to rest.

Feng Kaiji answered from the side: "Lan Tianyou performed very well! Capturing the villain's temperament spot on!"

Xiao Dong was shocked: "Ah? Teacher Lan Tianyou's Yin Zun is the villain? I thought Wu Xing was the villain."

Nan Xiang Wan sipped her drink: "Yeah, Yin Zun is the straight-laced villain, Wu Xing is the flippant protagonist."

Xiao Dong: "Wow! This drama is epic. But Ms. Nan you were amazing, simply a genius!"

Nan Xiang Wan was silent for a moment.

Acting?

Was she just being herself?

Gu Beihuai's gaze turned to look at her, then shifted away again.

When she was acting just now, he was very confused about where Little Cub got those gestures and mannerisms.

The natural embodiment was so lifelike that for a moment, he seemed to see that the Red Eagle on screen was the real Nan Xiang Wan!

The actors rested and prepared, while the directing team and crew started preparing the set for the next scene.

No one expected the first scene to be filmed so quickly. The props and sets for later scenes weren't ready yet!

But Director Feng Kaiji was still very happy despite being busy.

The next scene was Lan Tianyou's solo segment, depicting his preparations before departure.

It also set up some foreshadowing, gradually revealing the villain's tail.

While Lan Tianyou was acting, the other actors watched from the side.

There was no denying this kid really had talent. He got into character quickly and had his own understanding of the script and role.

Feng Kaiji seemed to have obtained a great treasure, smiling from ear to ear!

After a full day of filming, most of it was the second male lead Lan Tianyou's scenes.

Nan Xiang Wan mainly had that morning appearance. Her other important scenes were left for later in the shoot.

They wrapped at 5 pm. Feng Kaiji wiped his sweat: "Alright! That's it for today, everyone rest well. Tomorrow we film fight scenes, Nan Xiangwan and Lan Tianyou prepare yourselves!"

Lan Tianyou ran over: "Nan Xiangwan, go easy on me tomorrow!"

Back at the military camp training, Lan Tianyou had already witnessed Nan Xiang Wan's prowess.

He didn't think at all that he, a grown man, could beat Nan Xiang Wan. Hence, he came over a day in advance to give her a heads up - don't go all out, he still wanted to live!

Nan Xiang Wan gave him a hand gesture: "Don't worry, I'll definitely go all out."

Lan Tianyou: "???"

That's not what he meant at all.

...

Dinner was crew bento boxes, but after Nan Xiang Wan ate eight boxes, Gu Beihuai pulled her aside.

Gu Beihuai took out a small hot pot: "Have some big bones to grow taller."

Nan Xiang Wan immediately started gnawing on the bones, delicious!

Xiao Dong had just walked over carrying a pot of nourishing food. Seeing this scene, question marks filled her head.

What was going on, was His Highness Gu stealing her job?

How difficult was it being his assistant! Why was he stealing her job!

...

The next day filming started very early again. At 6 am the actors were already in costumes and makeup.

At exactly 7 am, the set was arranged.

The conference room they filmed in yesterday had now become a fitness studio.

Still a space within the Titan flagship, surrounded by all kinds of incomprehensible machinery flashing various data.

The actor-portrayed fleet officers would change into training outfits every day to exercise here.

Naturally sparring matches between them were unavoidable.

Hua Ying and the others were covered in fake sweat, exerting themselves on heavy equipment.

Feng Kaiji filmed while nodding approvingly, the performances were great!

What remained was the female lead's entrance.

Red Eagle wore a skintight combat uniform. The long sleeves and pants enveloped every inch of her skin tightly, a stark contrast against the other female officers in tank tops.

As she strode into the training room, the camera cut to the other actors' expressions, a variety of subtle gestures and glance conveying the vibe - the female killer god has arrived!

Adjutant Li Bai immediately followed, holding a bottle of water behind Red Eagle.

Without even turning her head, Red Eagle reached out her hand. Li Bai swiftly placed the water bottle in it.

And so, Red Eagle strode powerfully ahead while her adjutant handed her water midway.

From start to end, her gaze remained straight ahead, determined and mighty, never shifting one bit.

Red Eagle's specialized training machine was a spherical orb, working on the same principle as a spherical treadmill. She had to buckle on the machine's waist strap, hand grips and foot grips, and train her balance and basic strength while running on this sphere.

With heavy clanking sounds, the formidable weight of the equipment was evident as the heavy metal rings locked around her.

Red Eagle was unperturbed, and turned the difficulty straight up to max before starting to run!

Boom! Boom!

Every step, every move caused the machinery to shake and rumble loudly.

But she herself seemed to be on flat ground, not teetering at all, instead running faster and faster!
