Chapter 90: Shocking Changes on the Set

No one took Hu Xiaoxiao's words seriously.

Including the director. He had seen Hu Xiaoxiao's good acting before and thought that she was born to be good at anything related to acting. This was a pleasant surprise for him.

"Hu Xiaoxiao, you're such a talented girl! You looked so natural on the wire for the first time, and your movements were so standard and precise. If I had known you were so talented, I would have let you join the group a long time ago."

Hu Xiaoxiao didn't miss any opportunity and shouted to the director below: "It's not too late to know now. When there is a scene to be filmed next time, remember to invite me to join the crew."

"Okay, definitely!" The director also likes actors who can perform well without much training, which saves him a lot of worry.

After getting the director's promise, in order to show her strength to the director, Hu Xiaoxiao, when the action crew raised and lowered the wire, she sometimes flew in the sky like a fairy bird, and sometimes flew to the moon like Chang'e, with graceful postures and unrestrained, not like an ordinary person.

Even Hong Qiuyan was stunned. Couldn't she even beat Hu Xiaoxiao in wire-hanging scenes? Was this really her first time doing wire-hanging? "Hu Xiaoxiao, are you sure this is your first time doing wire-hanging? Have you been secretly practicing for months?"

She remembered the first time she was suspended on a wire, she was so scared that her whole body went limp and she couldn't even straighten her legs when she landed.

Hu Xiaoxiao said that she really didn't practice this secretly.

This is the only one I didn't practice secretly.

Hong Qiuyan didn't believe it, especially in several aerial fighting scenes, she was beaten by Hu Xiaoxiao so hard that her rhythm was disrupted and she was completely led by Hu Xiaoxiao. She even secretly cursed Hu Xiaoxiao for being hypocritical and must have practiced secretly.

Even though she couldn't beat Hu Xiaoxiao in the plot, she wasn't crushed so badly. She felt that Hu Xiaoxiao was even more difficult to deal with than Zhou Bijun in the play.

In the scenes with Hu Xiaoxiao, Hong Qiuyan became increasingly irritated and frustrated. In the final ground fight scene, according to the plot, she was knocked to the ground by Zhou Bijun and lost her ability to fight. As a result, she was furious and stabbed Hu Xiaoxiao in the back with a sword.

Hu Xiaoxiao was performing the next shot with his back to Hong Qiuyan when he suddenly heard exclamations from the staff outside the venue and the sound of Hong Qiuyan's footsteps behind him.

Hu Xiaoxiao reacted quickly, swung his tail like a scorpion, kicked back and hit Hong Qiuyan's wrist.

Then he swung his sword and stabbed straight towards Hong Qiuyan's eyes.

"Ah--" Hong Qiuyan first felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and the sword in her hand fell to the ground. Then the tip of the sword stabbed towards her eyes. She seemed to feel pain in her eyelids, and she was going blind!

Hong Qiuyan's facial features were distorted with horror.

When he was about to stab Hong Qiuyan's eyeball, Hu Xiaoxiao turned his wrist, made a sword flower, and put away the sword.

Hong Qiuyan covered her heart, which was almost frozen with fear, and pointed at Hu Xiaoxiao and cursed, "What the hell are you doing? You almost blinded me! Did you do this on purpose?"

"Aren't you blind?" Hu Xiaoxiao slowly drew the sword back into the scabbard.

The director had already called for a stop and angrily ran over to Hong Qiuyan, yelling, "Helen! Hong Qiuyan! I was just about to ask you what the heck you're doing. In the storyline, you were already lying on the ground, and you suddenly jumped out? Are you trying to fake it? It was just acting, and you attacked other artists with a sword. Don't you want to be in this industry anymore?"

"This, this sword is not real..." Hong Qiuyan said stubbornly.

"Even if it's a fake sword, it's still hard!" In order to make the martial arts look good, the sword is not a real sword, but it has a certain hardness. In addition, the tip of the sword is pointed. If it really stabs from behind, it will definitely not feel good.

"I didn't mean to do that. I just remembered the script wrong." Hong Qiuyan pointed at Hu Xiaoxiao again and complained first, "Director, what about her? She almost blinded me. Why don't you scold her?"

Hu Xiaoxiao also said, "I also misremembered the script just now. I thought it was about the six major gates surrounding and attacking me. In the plot, I first drew my sword like this -"

Hu Xiaoxiao drew out his sword and suddenly stabbed it towards Hong Qiuyan's nose, scaring Hong Qiuyan so much that she took several steps back.

"And then you draw your sword like this again—" The sword in Hu Xiaoxiao's hand was so fast that it had a double image, and it suddenly stabbed towards Hong Qiuyan's eyes.

Hong Qiuyan was startled for a moment, and then frightened again. When she stepped back, she stepped on a prop stool on the ground and fell headfirst, her legs facing the air.

The staff outside the venue couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.

These laughs made Hong Qiuyan feel ashamed. She tried to get up by supporting herself on the ground, only to find that the wrist where Hu Xiaoxiao had kicked her was so painful that it felt like it was broken in half.

She was in pain and in a mess, she didn't know what she was doing.

The director returned to the camera and watched the playback footage with a frown.

Hu Xiaoxiao walked over and watched Hong Qiuyan's sneak attack. When she stabbed back with her sword, she felt very comfortable seeing Hong Qiuyan's deformed facial features.

So I suggested, "Director, I think this part can be kept."

“But that scene wasn’t in the script.”

"The actors performed exceptionally well, it would be a shame not to keep it."

Hong Qiuyan was about to leave when she heard Hu Xiaoxiao's words. She guessed it wasn't a good thing and ran over. She saw her expression failing miserably. "Director, delete it! Delete it now!"

The director, however, stroked his chin and rewatched the scene. The acting in this scene was perfectly suited to the characters in the script. Lin Erniang hated Zhou Bijun, so it was natural for her to attack her. Zhou Bijun was a skilled martial artist, so it was natural for her to retaliate.

The director thought about it and it made more and more sense. He clapped his hands and decided, "Let's keep this part. It might become one of the highlights in the series."

Hong Qiuyan was about to collapse. She was always beautiful in front of the TV, never this ugly. "No, it's too ugly!"

Hu Xiaoxiao praised her and said, "Doesn't this show that you have good acting skills?"

Mingxu also came to join in the fun. After watching, he said to Hong Qiuyan, "I also think your acting is good. Maybe it can become a classic material for training classes in the future."

"Mingxu, are you also making things difficult for me?"

"Helen, we all saw it. You were the one who started the trouble. We're all colleagues, and we don't have any deep hatred. If you hurt someone from behind like this, who would dare to work with you in the future?"

Artists filming action scenes, in particular, are most wary of being attacked by surprise. At best, they could be injured, and at worst, they could even lose their lives. Hong Qiuyan's behavior had violated a serious taboo.

The director's patience had run out. "Helen, if you don't agree to stay, we can replace you. It just so happens that your scene just started filming today, so replacing you won't affect the rest of the process."

Hu Xiaoxiao actively seized the opportunity, "Director, why don't you let me play three roles?"

She really wanted to snatch the role of Lin Er Niang away.

The director said, "Hu Xiaoxiao, why don't you play all the female roles in this drama by yourself?"

"If the director thinks highly of me, I'm not opposed to giving it a try." Hu Xiaoxiao was eager to try.

The director simply asked Hu Xiaoxiao to stay away from him and pointed at Hong Qiuyan, "If you don't want to get out, then behave yourself."
