After being beaten down by the entertainment industry, Ning Qiluo packed her bags overnight: "I'm afraid of cyberbullying, I want to go home and inherit my family's fortune."
...
Netizens clicked on the video out of curiosity.
It's actually a clip from the drama "The Princess".
The person appearing on camera is Ning Qiluo. She is wearing a light yellow dress, riding on horseback, holding a bow in her left hand and drawing the bow with her right hand.
In a close-up shot, accompanied by three "chichichi-" sounds, three arrows were fired simultaneously.
The camera then pans to show that the three arrows have hit the three targets.
The low-budget special effects, combined with seamless editing, made Ning Qiluo, who was shooting arrows on horseback, look incredibly dashing.
Netizens who watched the video commented:
[Ahhh, so beautiful and cool! So good-looking! I can't wait for this drama! Okay, I can't make this up anymore, the rest is up to other netizens.]
I thought it would be a big surprise, but it turns out, this is all?
Is the official statement a joke?
I have no idea what this has to do with my crush's Weibo post. I don't understand, I don't get it. Can someone help me figure it out?
[I suspect Zhu Feng's account has been hacked; that mention just now definitely wasn't posted by Zhu Feng.]
To be fair, even with cheap special effects, Ning Qiluo's beauty is undeniable.
[They dare to release scenes created with special effects as a gimmick? Isn't this normal practice for period dramas? What is the official team trying to convey?]
Many netizens made sarcastic and veiled remarks.
Not long after, the princess's official Weibo account posted another message.
Did the Princess suddenly become rich today? Official Weibo account: [The special effects were heavily criticized, okay, the Princess confesses, here's a video of three arrows being fired simultaneously without special effects. @宁祁萝]
Netizen: Anything else?
Netizens: Isn't it embarrassing enough?
People have noticed that the official Weibo account of the Princess Consort production team seems to have lost its mind.
wrong--
Netizen A: [I just realized now, the official Weibo account is trying to ride the coattails of the drama's popularity!!]
Netizen B: [No special effects? Wouldn't that look even more awkward, hahaha.]
Netizen C: [I hope the production team puts more effort into filming and stops trying to ride the coattails of trending topics all the time.]
Netizen Ding: [I also saw on the financial news that the richest man in Country Y came to pick up his daughter to inherit the family business. Production crew, you're so powerful, why don't you try to ride on the richest man's coattails?]
Netizen Mao: [Let me translate the production team's current mood: The production team is saying: Don't push me any further, I'll even smear my own female lead when I get ruthless.]
These netizens used all sorts of creative ways to mock him.
Until someone clicked on the second video released by the Princess's official account, they fell into deep contemplation about life...
The video was taken from the perspective of a passerby.
The hunting grounds were bathed in sunshine and gentle breeze. The background wasn't as elaborate as it had been edited with special effects, but it was still quite pleasant to look at. There were staff members walking around, and the sounds of actors talking could be heard. The male lead, Su Anzhe, even made an unexpected appearance.
Then there's the scene of Ning Qiluo awkwardly climbing onto the horse's back.
She tiptoed several times before finally managing to climb onto the horse's back; her short stature looked quite comical.
He was riding on horseback, his back straight, holding a bow in his left hand.
Without any special effects or editing, Ning Qiluo practiced firing three arrows simultaneously.
The three 'chichichi-' sounds weren't as loud and sharp as those produced by special effects. But they were loud enough for everyone in the audience to hear, and the sound was also very clear in the recorded video.
And more than once.
The crew retrieved the arrows and filming officially began. Ning Qiluo still fired three arrows simultaneously without special effects.
Netizens not only saw how the crew filmed the TV series from this video, but also witnessed the process of making the series.
And then there was Ning Qiluo, who single-handedly defeated someone with 50-cent special effects!!!
