Lan Tianyou originally thought Gu Beihuai was just talking big, but didn't expect that he was really working as a part-time director while shooting the drama. The few deputy directors didn't say a word and obediently did as they were told.
Lan Tianyou suddenly admired him greatly. As expected of the all-rounder superstar!
Nan Xiangwan arrived at the set in the afternoon. She took a nap on the plane and another nap in the car, so her mental state was still alright when she arrived at the set.
Ji Jirou rushed out to welcome her: “You're back! You're finally back!”
Nan Xiangwan: “???”
What's with this state? Why is she so excited?
Ji Jirou looked extremely excited: “You don't know, but Director Luo got into a fight with the crew next door today!”
Nan Xiangwan's eyes lit up: “Did we win?”
Ji Jirou: “Uh, your concerns are quite unique.”
Nan Xiangwan looked thrilled and was raring to go: “Tell me quick, did we win or not? If not, just let me go up!”
Ji Jirou: “Don't know if we won or lost, but Director Luo was super awesome, throwing left hooks and right kicks, swish swish!”
Zhu Yun also ran over and added: “But our crew was shooting, Director Luo went alone. The other crew had greater numbers, so I guess he didn't win.”
Nan Xiangwan: “Hmm?”
Zhu Yun: “In the end, they were all taken away by the police, including Director Luo.”
Nan Xiangwan: “...”
What the heck happened?
Not only was he ganged up on, but he even got locked up!
Nan Xiangwan was completely dumbfounded. This Director Luo can't handle things well!
After arriving at the set, she immediately changed into costume and makeup. She also saw Gu Beihuai who was working as a part-time director. His serious side profile looked very handsome.
So Director Luo still hasn't come back? Still in the lockup?
Should they bail him out...
Just then Gu Beihuai suddenly looked up: “Nan Xiangwan, the next scene is yours, get ready quickly.”
Nan Xiangwan immediately became serious, adjusted her gossipy state of mind, and obediently let the makeup artist do her makeup.
She had actually returned a day in advance. Logically there shouldn't be any scenes for her. But Gu Beihuai and Lan Tianyou were shooting the previous scenes too quickly, so Nan Xiangwan’s scenes were brought forward.
After having her makeup done, Nan Xiangwan instantly transformed from silly into a handsome Federation Junior General.
Once all departments were in position, shooting began!
This scene was an action scene. The set was decorated very explosively.
A battleship about three meters long was placed there. The ground was made of steel plates that clanged when stepped on.
Although it couldn't fly, just building this exterior shape clearly cost a lot of money.
The interior was even made very realistically, modeled after the inside of a fighter jet, but with some more sci-fi elements added.
The pitch-black exterior of the battleship had the Federation insignia printed on it. This same insignia also appeared on Red Eagle and the other Federation military's combat uniforms.
It was the pattern of two crossed short swords, showcasing the Federation's might!
This battleship was the interceptor that had gone missing!
Dressed in the Federation Junior General uniform, Red Eagle had a hint of heroism in her brows and eyes. One hand rested on the hilt of the sword at her waist, while the other hung naturally at her side.
Her gaze was piercing as she looked ahead.
The camera panned to show Red Eagle’s perspective.
It was Yin Zun!
At this moment, Yin Zun seemed to have just been in battle. There were traces of blood on his face and he was panting heavily, a hint of hatred in his eyes as he looked at Red Eagle.
Red Eagle: “The evidence is conclusive. Do you have anything else to say?”
Yin Zun: “I really let my guard down. I didn't expect you to trust Wu Xing so much that even after I fabricated so much evidence pointing to him, you still didn't take action against him. But why have you never trusted me?”
Red Eagle’s eyes turned obscure for a second, but soon resumed their usual iciness.
Red Eagle: “Colonel Yin Zun, do you admit your guilt?”
Yin Zun’s pupils contracted slightly. He lowered his head and laughed loudly.
Red Eagle frowned, sensing that something was off.
Soon, boom!
Accompanied by a sudden violent shake of the Titan Mothership, the vibrations were intense.
Yin Zun was still laughing. “Red Eagle, you're wrong. I didn't betray the Federation, I...became them!”
Red Eagle looked up sharply, her fingers swiftly grasping the hilt of her sword.
Draw!
What Nan Xiangwan drew out was a short rod, but the director had said earlier that this thing was a long sword, so she had to make it look like she was wielding a long sword.
So, pretend there's a sword in hand!
At this time, Yin Zun’s laughter gradually turned crazed and his actions also started becoming strange, as if something was about to burst out from his body.
He roared savagely like a beast down on all fours.
Yin Zun: “The Zerg shall prevail!”
After shouting these four words, he accelerated and charged at Red Eagle.
Gripping her sword in one hand, Red Eagle's gaze was calm as she stared straight ahead.
The next second, her sword strikes!
Of course, it was actually the short rod striking out.
Red Eagle's wrist turned as she sent Yin Zun crashing to the ground.
Then she strode over his body and walked forward.
“Cut! Good take!”
Gu Beihuai yelled and everyone around started clapping.
Hua Chan: “Damn, got goosebumps. How could the acting be so good?”
Ji Jirou: “Lan Tianyou's explosive performance was amazing!”
Zhu Yun: “Lan Tianyou? Aren't you getting up yet?”
Everyone was celebrating, but Lan Tianyou was still curled up on the ground.
The crew rushed forward to help him up and found him drenched in sweat, clutching his abdomen.
“What's wrong, what happened?”
“Are you uncomfortable somewhere?”
Lan Tianyou’s voice trembled. “Hurts to death!”
Crew member: “Where does it hurt?”
Lan Tianyou: “I was stabbed by a sword.”
Crew member: “What nonsense are you saying? The sword ray is a special effect added in post-production. Just now that short rod didn't even touch you!”
Everyone saw it very clearly that Nan Xiangwan had only swung the short rod, and even though she swung it very realistically like she was wielding a particle sword, she did not actually hit anyone.
Lan Tianyou painfully crawled up and lifted his shirt to show everyone.
Sure enough, there was a red mark on his abdomen!
Lan Tianyou: “Hurts like hell! Took me a while just to catch my breath.”
He did not stay curled up on the ground for a timed duration. He had truly felt the pain!
Nan Xiangwan's eyes widened beside him, then she grew somewhat excited.
No way.
She had actually emitted a sword qi with the short rod!
Damn, just now she was only pretending to have a sword in hand. She didn't expect to have truly unleashed an air sword!
So awesome!
Looks like her combat ability has recovered a bit!
Gu Beihuai walked over and glanced at her. “The sword-drawing action was very elegant. You even created the air ripples with it.”
Nan Xiangwan: “Of course, I specialize in weapons. Give me anything and I can use it.”
Gu Beihuai: “Mm, no need for action direction.”
Nan Xiangwan: “But how will they handle the post-production? And is Lan Tianyou becoming a monster?”
She was very curious about this.
Gu Beihuai: “That’s the special effects team’s job. You’ll know when the time comes.”
