(Multiple Identitities + Pure Love + Favorite of the Group + Face-Slapping + Big Shot) A mission brought Qi Jiu to China, where she became the adopted daughter of the Shen family.
Outside obs...
Tang Miaomiao debuted relatively early. Although she sensed something was wrong upon hearing this, she still forced a smile and stared intently at Qi Jiu.
"Of course. Since Teacher Qijiu has never seen mounted archery before, I'll demonstrate it for you in a bit, but the result might not be very good. I haven't touched this stuff in a long time."
As she spoke, she smiled.
In short, he gave himself a way out. This humble demeanor also won the favor of many people around him.
"It's okay. Teacher Tang already has this skill, which already puts him ahead of many people."
Seeing this, the girl naturally gave her a way out, and Tang Miaomiao's expression softened considerably.
Yan Changning sat next to the camera, looking at the actors who were all ready, and spoke softly into the walkie-talkie.
"Action!"
At a single command, all the actors in the shot got into character.
In the drama, Ling Yue plays a young general from the General's Mansion. His skills are quite impressive. He holds a bow and arrow in his hand and shoots at the target while the horse is running!
The entire sequence of movements was executed flawlessly without any pauses or mishaps, prompting Yan Changning to nod in satisfaction.
Although the results on the target weren't important, as they would be adjusted later, everyone was still surprised to see the arrows on the target at this moment.
This kind of archery skill cannot be mastered overnight. Although I didn't hit the bullseye exactly, it was still incredible to see that I was so close to the bullseye.
At the same time, everyone realized that Ling Yue must have been training in private, and he was really hardworking.
Next up was Tang Miaomiao, who looked better than usual in her riding and archery attire. She rode out on horseback like Ling Yue, drawing her bow and shooting an arrow.
The movement was indeed much more skillful than the girl had expected, but due to a lack of strength in her wrists, the result was naturally...
"Smack!"
Qi Jiu looked up and saw that the arrow was heading straight for the target, finally landing some distance from the bullseye.
"Card!"
"Great! Great! Miaomiao's technique is pretty good! Ling Yue practiced for a while specifically for this film, but I didn't expect Miaomiao's technique to be so good."
They were not professionals; most of them, even with a bow, might not be able to hit the target, let alone women who are naturally weaker than men.
The assistant director chuckled beside him, looked at the finished product on the camera, and nodded.
This scene has no emotion and no dialogue; it's shot from a distance, which actually makes it easier to film.
Tang Miaomiao smiled a little shyly, "Assistant Director, you flatter me. I've filmed similar scenes before, so I'm quite familiar with the bow and arrow. I'm already very happy to be able to hit the target."
As she spoke, she glanced at Qi Jiu, who was preparing beside her, and smiled.
"Are you satisfied with my results, Teacher Qi Jiu? I told you before that I would broaden your horizons, but I didn't hit the bullseye. I'm sorry."
Qi Jiu: "..."
No, is she sick? She started apologizing before she even said anything. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Zozo had bullied her.
This person is truly a born actor; not only the stage, but even life itself is their performance venue.
"What are you saying, Teacher Tang? These are such good grades! Among our group, only Teacher Ling Yue can achieve such results as you."
Ling Yue, who was suddenly called upon: "..."
Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?
Sure enough, the other actors who came next hadn't practiced beforehand. Although they only appeared briefly on camera, Qi Jiu, who was watching from the side, immediately noticed their problems.
However, she didn't say anything, since no one else had learned it or practiced it.
The arrow, of course, didn't even hit the target.
"Qiqi, are you ready?" Yan Changning asked softly, looking at the girl who was already on horseback.
"Don't worry, director." The girl smiled brightly, without a trace of worry on her face.
Seeing this, Yan Changning felt embarrassed to say anything more and returned to his seat.
The girl held a bow in one hand and stroked the head of the black horse beneath her with the other. "Horse, oh horse, don't let me down at this crucial moment, or I'll lose all face."
"Action!"
At the director's command, Qi Jiu, like the previous actors, held the reins in one hand and the bow in the other. As the target drew closer, her hand movements changed.
The bow is nocked, and the arm is pulled.
And so, under everyone's watchful eyes, the arrow left the bow with great force.
"call out!"
Everyone then saw an arrow fly powerfully towards the target and finally embed itself directly in it.
Ling Yue stood beside the horse, stroking its head with one hand. He had been smiling, but when he looked up and saw the target, his smile froze instantly.
"What the hell?"
This girl was so modest before, what a load of rubbish! If he had known she had such skills, he would have gone to ask her for advice long ago.
Tang Miaomiao, who was standing next to her, was also stunned. Then, as if she couldn't believe it, she looked at it several times before slowly coming to her senses. Her expression became increasingly sour.
"Card!"
Yan Changning stood up from his seat with a face full of joy, looking at the sword that had hit the bullseye, grinning with his big white teeth.
"Long shot! Let's use a long shot! No need for editing! The effect is amazing! It's right on the bullseye! Qiqi, you're so awesome!"
With a smile on her lips, Qi Jiu took the horse's reins and slowly approached Ling Yue. With a swift movement, she gracefully leaped off the horse.
Those fluid and graceful movements didn't seem like those of someone who sits in an office or classroom all day.
He gently patted the black horse's head. "Good boy, here's a can of grass for you."
Ling Yue, who had heard everything, was speechless.
These days, even grass is canned?
"Qiqi, you're amazing. You're truly a hidden talent, hitting the bullseye right away... I'm afraid I could film this kind of scene for a year and a half and still not be able to hit the bullseye with one arrow."
Ling Yue shook his head with a hint of melancholy.
The girl smiled and said, "Just lucky."
At that moment, she clearly sensed someone approaching her, and turning her head, she saw Tang Miaomiao looking aggrieved.
"Is Teacher Qi Jiu... humiliating me now?"
"ah?"
Ling Yue seemed a little confused, but the girl tilted her head and looked at her. "What does Teacher Tang mean by this?"
"Didn't Teacher Qi Jiu say before that she was just an average horse rider? She said that riding and archery are not things that ordinary people can do and she wanted to broaden her horizons. Now she's hit the bullseye. Isn't that humiliating me? Isn't this just humiliating my arrogance before she even started?"
