Chapter 67: Star Family Chapter 6

  The next day, Suoluo rushed to the filming location - a famous beach in the city.

  Isn't it because something happened at home and you promised Tian Bo that you wouldn't come?

  She's not that stupid!

  It turns out that there is more than one person who knows the plot, and she is the real omniscient narrator!

  Wearing today's outfit, a black tight-fitting dress, her hair tied up high, paired with her tall and slender figure and classical yet slightly British facial features, she looked effortlessly elegant, anyone would think that this is what an ancient female knight should look like.

  Jiang Miao and A Ken also arrived, but fearing to bring her trouble, they all kept their mouths shut about yesterday's affairs and directly entered the temporarily set up rest room.

  In just a few minutes, Ah Ken came out with a Western-style breakfast and hot drinks, saying that he had bought too much and asked her to help him get rid of some of it so as not to waste it. With great kindness being hard to refuse, she could only accept them.

  She also brought her own homemade Chinese breakfast, but didn't have time to eat it yet. There were egg and vegetable pancakes with shredded potatoes, crystal clear vegetarian millet porridge, and sweet fermented glutinous rice balls with a hint of osmanthus fragrance, all made according to Dong Fang's taste, still warm in the thermos, just right for a reciprocal gift, letting them try some too.

  "Brother Ken, it's homemade, want some?"

  "That's great, then I won't be polite. You don't know how convenient it is for us to eat at those few shops every day, we're almost fed up with them." Ah Ken was really impolite and took away more than half of the food.

  The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

  As soon as he entered the rest room, he saw the movie emperor, who had transformed into a bandit, stretching out his hand with an ominous expression:

  "Bring it out."

  Don't don't I don't! Don't be so bullying!

  Ah Ken wanted to resist, but the situation was stronger than him, and he could only watch as he took away the lovingly made breakfast that Xiao Ning had prepared with her own hands.

  He didn't even leave a single crumb! And he's eating with such relish!

  Got it!

  Awesome!

  Others 66 also came one after another, and the beach was bustling with activity.

  Tian Tian was so excited that she couldn't sleep last night, and this morning she really couldn't get up. She finally arrived at 10:00. Fortunately, she has her own makeup artist and stylist, so she doesn't have to line up with others and waste too much time. She is also very good at handling things, as soon as she arrives, she sincerely apologizes to the director and all the staff, almost crying in self-reproach. Everyone else can't say anything, only Director Li says with a straight face: "Don't let it happen again!" and then turns around to discuss the play with others.

  Although he is easy-going in private and righteous towards friends, Director Li's work attitude is still very strict. Having been in this industry for a long time, sometimes it's inevitable to compromise with investors, big shots, and audiences, after all, they're making commercial films that rely on topics and box office sales.

  Su Luo deliberately stood in a corner of the field that Tian Mi couldn't see, waiting for a moment to give her a "surprise".

  Jiang Miao finished a happy meal and walked out of the rest room, starting preparations for filming.

  Today's play is about the captain of the guard he plays being captured by the remnants of the previous dynasty, who want him to reveal the whereabouts of the jade seal and the young emperor, or else they will drown him.

  Lang Qingyuan, played by Tian Yu, is a lone survivor of the previous dynasty. Since childhood, she has been trained by her grandfather to restore the imperial court at all costs. With her exceptional talent, wit, and stunning looks, she infiltrates the palace and gradually gains recognition from the powerful, allowing her to approach the core of the imperial court. Just as her revenge plan is about to succeed, a disaster strikes the nation: the Yellow River bursts its banks, causing countless deaths among the people along its shores. Relief funds go missing, and the emperor's envoys are either assassinated or bought off by opposing forces. In this critical situation, the young emperor decides to make a secret visit to the disaster area, accompanied by his trusted eunuch and palace maid Lang Qingyuan.

  Along the way, there were many hardships and dangers. Some people got sick, some were injured, some got lost, and some even died. In the end, only three people were left: Little Emperor, Lang Qing, and the leader of the guards, Liu Qiubai.

  The hardships they faced together created subtle feelings among the three, with the young emperor falling in love with Lang Qing. Liu Qiubai found Lang Qing suspicious but couldn't help being drawn to her, while Lang Qing was torn between loyalty and conflict. On one hand was the vendetta of a fallen nation and destroyed family, on the other was the life and death of countless civilians. In the end, he chose to betray his organization and protect this monarch and minister as they completed their mission.

  This scene is Lang Qing escorting the young emperor and the garrison to reunite, then killing his way back to rescue Liu Qiubai. For Jiang Miao, it's still simple, at first just showing great righteousness and fearlessness in the face of death, then shock and joy when Lang Qing appears, and later heartache and self-blame due to Lang Qing being injured.

  The difficulty lies in how to express the clear pain and inner struggle and suffering, because the enemies were once brothers who shared hardships together, so whether it is Su Luo's martial arts movements or Tian Mi's inner drama, they must all convey this point well, otherwise it would be a defeat.

  Su Luo held the sword in one hand, pondering: At first she used the scabbard, but towards the end, when she was about to lose, she had no choice but to draw her sword. This action was crucial and couldn't be too abrupt, yet it had to convey a sense of determination...

  The prop team had set up a huge cross-shaped frame, and Jiang Miao, as the staff member, tied his hands and feet to it one by one, while staring at the little girl who was practicing seriously not far away.

  "Teacher Jiang, is this okay? Won't it be too tight?"

  "Hmm." Jiang Mo responded vaguely, but in fact, he hadn't listened to the other person's words at all.

  At this time, Tian Bi had also finished changing and came out of the dressing room. The styling was naturally the same as Su Luo's, with one not wearing powder and the other having a delicate makeup look, but in comparison, Su Luo was still more impressive, at least she looked like a female knight, while Tian Bi looked like a modern person wearing ancient clothes taking artistic photos, lacking a bit of aura.

  "Good morning, Tian Mei!" Su Luo's eyes were sharp and she saw her from afar before Tian Mei even noticed her, waving her hand in greeting. Her attitude was incredibly enthusiastic, as if the people of a liberated area welcoming the liberation army, her voice was so sweet that even Jiang Miao beside her felt a little envious.

  Actually, if she wasn't afraid that everyone would think it's weird, she actually wanted to shout "Surprise!"

  What is this cheap person doing here!

  Tian Bo's face turned green instantly.

  She stormed up to Sololo in large strides and asked, "Didn't we agree yesterday?"

  "What did you say?" Su Luo blinked her eyes innocently at her.

  "Say... " Tian Bo's words got stuck in his throat, yesterday's matter was something that absolutely could not be let known to others.

  "Good, you have guts!" The voice was not loud, only audible to the two of them, but it was full of hatred. By now she had realized that she had been played, but she couldn't mention what happened yesterday, as there were ears and eyes all around, her face twisted in anger.

  Haha! You're so venomous! You're so wicked! You're always plotting against others! Su Luo's heart is thrilled to the extreme.

  "Alright, ready to start filming, everyone in position! You few people move Ah Miao into the water, be careful, the water should first reach the calf area, shoot a few scenes before moving deeper. Is the frame steady? Safety first, make sure it won't be washed away." Director Li gave the order to start filming as soon as Tian Miao finally came out.

  "Don't worry, director, we've experimented several times and the frame is absolutely sturdy."

  "That's good. When Tian Bing takes a close-up shot for a while, you carefully watch her movements, and when she finishes, go to your slow-motion shot, which must be synchronized."

  Tian Mo finally calmed down and told himself that today's top priority was to take down Jiang Miao, and deal with Shen Ning later. But when he heard the director say that Shen Ning would go first, he panicked again.

  "Director, this scene is so important today, I want to do it myself, don't need a stand-in, right?" No matter what, can't let Shen Ning get the upper hand.

  "What did you say? You said you'd come personally! Are you familiar with the action script? Have you rehearsed with others? Did you inform me and Director Wei in advance? You also said this scene is important, can I let you mess it up like this? What are you looking at, get into position, start filming!" Even-tempered Director Li has blown his top this time. The actors' level of skill is another matter, they can be taught, but professionalism on the job is his bottom line.

  Tian Bo's heart was filled with anger, feeling that the whole world was against her, even Director Li had become an enemy, secretly vowing to make these people pay for their actions today!

  But had no choice, could only stare at Jiang Miao, planning to rush over as soon as he was in danger, and didn't care if he would be bitten or not, just going for it!

  “！”

  Liu Qiubai was tied to the wooden frame, the sea water rose higher and higher, he had made up his mind to die. In his mind, he kept thinking of his family members, friends, the monarch he swore to be loyal to, all living beings in the world, and that girl.

  I don't know whether Your Majesty has arrived safely at your destination.

  I don't know what her identity is.

  No one knows when the Yellow River's flood will end.

  I don't know if I can see her again in this life.

  Suddenly, hoofbeats came from afar.

  Getting closer and clearer.

  At last he saw the man on horseback.

  It's her!

  Su Luo rode a majestic high-headed horse, galloping far away towards the location where Jiang Mian was, and the enemy also noticed her, surrounding her in a flurry.

  The two sides are getting closer and closer.

  Within less than ten meters away, she pulled the reins with force. Before the horse had completely stopped, she leaped off its back and charged at the enemy with her sword.

  One against ten!

  Flash of sword!

  Originally this action was supposed to be assisted by a stunt double, but after witnessing her horse riding skills, even the experienced martial arts director couldn't help but admire and agree to let her complete it independently.

  After finishing this scene, the next scene is her and the leader of the former imperial power, who is also the only surviving royal bloodline, and also her childhood sweetheart brother, surrounding Liu Qiubai in a solo duel.

  One to kill, one to save.

  Because the action was too intense, the actor's suit opened a bit, fortunately, Su Luo's is real, no matter how she moves, it won't fall off.

  "Akai, hurry up and get your hair done by the stylist. Everyone is tired, let's take a 20-minute break. Xiao Ning, do you want to come up and rest for a bit too?" After finishing half of today's schedule early in the morning, Director Li's mood, which was ruined by Tian Mei, has recovered a lot, and he even finds Su Luo more pleasing to the eye, voluntarily suggesting that everyone take a break.

  The staff swarmed ashore, those who smoked went to smoke, and those who went to the toilet went to the toilet.

  "No need, thank you Director Li, I'm fine standing here, it's Teacher Jiang who is working hard."

  Jiang Miao didn't feel tired, but his hands and feet were tied up and he couldn't move, which was quite uncomfortable. However, with the little girl's concern, he felt relieved all over, and it wouldn't be a problem to continue like this for another day.

  "Ah Mung, are you okay?" Li asked with concern.

  "Of course, I should also thank Xiao Ning. Just now, such a long and intense fight scene was over so quickly, which allowed me to spend less time in the water." The little girl was really amazing, making him unable to help but praise her, and he felt a sense of pride and honor.

  "Yes, you should thank him properly. Xiao Ning, the director has spoken, after work today, let's have Jiang Da Yingdi treat you to a good meal, how about it!" Li Director also joked with a good mood.

  This proposal is good, Jiang Miao is eager for it.

  Unfortunately, Su Luo didn't take it seriously and just thought it was a joke: "I've already eaten in the morning, Ken Ge brought breakfast and more than half of it went into my stomach."

  The three of them chatted and laughed, creating a very relaxed atmosphere.

  Tian Mo was relieved that the scene where Jiang Miao was rescued by Shen Ning hadn't been shot yet. She didn't know what would happen next, so she could only try to get as close as possible.

  Previously being scolded by the director made her lose some face, but in order to achieve her goal, this was nothing.

  She took a towel sprinkled with perfume and walked towards the three people: "Brother Jiang Miao, you're all wet, let me wipe it for you."

  "Don't move!" Li shouted loudly before the words had even finished leaving his mouth.

  "Director Li, I...I just don't want Brother Jiang to catch a cold." Tian Mei's hand was only a few centimeters away from Jiang Miao's face, and it seemed like she was about to touch him. She thought that Director Li must have been enchanted by Shen Ning, the fox spirit, which is why he kept picking on her. So she pouted, looking at Jiang Miao with extremely wronged eyes, hoping to gain his sympathy and pity, but unfortunately, Jiang Miao remained unmoved, as if he hadn't seen anything.

  "You're brainless, aren't you? The people next to you have been fighting for so long and can't get splashed? In the previous shot, they were all wet, and in the next shot, there's not a single drop of water. Do you think the audience is stupid? Can't even spot such an obvious blooper. Hurry up and go ashore, it hasn't reached you yet, don't make trouble here." Director Li said irritably, this female lead was becoming more and more unsatisfactory to him.

  Tian Mo was just about to refute when he saw a dark green ringed sea snake swimming towards Jiang Miao.

  At the same time, Sulolo was also seen nearby.
