As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...
Standing several stories high, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi, both dressed in ancient costumes, jumped into the pool below at the command of those below. However, just before landing, they quickly strode across the water, performing a feat of 'water-skimming kung fu' and leaping towards the people on the shore.
"Wow! That's amazing, Feng Meng! How can your sisters be so good? My goodness!"
The director and other actors, who had watched the whole process, were extremely surprised by Ya Zi and Yue Jiu Ling's 'martial arts skills', and they all applauded when they finished filming the scene.
Feng Meng looked at the two people in front of him as if it were nothing out of the ordinary. After Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi finished filming their scenes, Feng Meng handed them two bottles of mineral water.
"Sister Jiuling, Brother Long, how's it going? Is it fun?"
Feng Meng asked Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi, "How many days are you planning to do odd jobs? Our director really thinks highly of you two and insists I persuade you two experts to stay on set!"
"It depends on the situation, I'm not entirely sure either."
Yue Jiuling patted the dust off her hands before taking the water bottle.
At first, when the two men came to Feng Meng to say they wanted to earn extra money, Feng Meng thought they were joking. But after seeing their serious expressions, he was quite surprised.
Since the two of them wanted to earn extra money as extras, Feng Meng would help them. So Feng Meng contacted their director and said he would introduce them to two extras.
Of course, directors usually don't interfere with extras, as these actors are typically recruited by professionals. However, Feng Meng approached the director directly, and the director became interested. In particular, Feng Meng mentioned that the people he was introducing were two reclusive masters, perfectly suited for filming ancient martial arts scenes involving 'flying over rooftops and scaling walls'.
Sure enough, after Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi performed their "flying over walls" act on the spot, the director immediately agreed to let them join the crew and even gave them a decent salary.
Because many action scenes in period dramas are dangerous, actors usually use stunt doubles. But stunt doubles are just ordinary people and can get injured. However, if it's someone like Yue Jiuling or Ya Zi, it's different. The injury rate can be greatly reduced. That's why Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi were hired.
After filming several scenes that didn't require wire work, during a break, Ya Zi squatted down and watched Yue Jiu Ling play on her phone because his phone was temporarily out of battery.
"Nine Spirits, was today's activity fun?"
Ya Zi asked Yue Jiu Ling, who was standing next to him.
Yue Jiuling was texting with her head down when she heard Ya Zi's words. Without looking up, she replied, "It's alright. Anyway, I'm just idling around in the hotel, so it's good to come out and find something to do."
Ya Zi nodded, then turned to Feng Meng, who had already gone to film, and said, "That's what I was thinking too. How about we play until we get a notification from the K1 department?"
"Sure, I'm fine with anything."
Yue Jiuling had finished sending the message, then leaned back on the stool, squinting as she looked towards the directing team. At that moment, the director was explaining the scene to the other actors.
"By the way, I heard that after filming this, they're moving to the next filming location. Feng Meng said it's a very remote village. I wonder if it'll be fun~"
"Is it a resort or just a regular village?" Ya Zi chuckled upon hearing this and said, "If it's a tourist area or something, then we could visit it while we're at it."
"I don't know, I guess I'll go there in the evening, by which time the play will be almost finished."
Because there were two "experts" present, the action scenes were less prone to errors, and the filming progressed quickly. Yue Jiuling heard the director and others say from afar that they could probably change locations around night.
Sure enough, just after they finished dinner that evening, the director informed everyone that they would be heading to the next filming location. Then Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi joined the rest of the group and set off in a large car.
Feng Meng sat in the same car with them. On the way there, Feng Meng said, "Sister Jiuling, Brother Long, you probably don't have many scenes left tonight. You can go back and rest after filming is over."
Yue Jiuling was watching a video with Ya Zi in the car. After hearing Feng Meng's words, she nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll head back first. What about you? Are you going back to the hotel?"
"I'll be going back later because I'm going to join the film crew. I also need to go back and pack my things to move over. But you don't need to. The action scenes we filmed today almost completely used up all the stunt doubles. Once you've finished filming today, you probably won't need to come back."
Feng Meng looked down at the script and guessed.
Upon hearing Feng Meng's words, Ya Zi immediately looked up from the video and frowned, saying, "Seriously? It's only been one day! We haven't even had enough fun yet!"
"Exactly, why were there so few scenes with the stunt doubles? And they finished filming in just one day?"
Yue Jiuling also expressed her dissatisfaction, because it had only been one day and they hadn't had enough fun at all!
Seeing Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi's dissatisfaction, Feng Meng was helpless. He said speechlessly, "No, actually, under normal circumstances, the scenes with stunt doubles wouldn't be filmed so quickly. But your 'martial arts' are just too good. You completed those difficult moves in no time. There aren't many scenes with stunt doubles to begin with, so we've almost finished filming today..."
"Um, so, our film is almost finished?"
