Chapter 25 If you're sick, get treatment; don't go crazy.
"Ah~ So she's the female bodyguard who got all the criticism and trending on social media? I really wouldn't recognize her without the mask on!"
Chen Yingying's anger vanished instantly, and her feigned nobility and magnanimity disappeared, leaving only disdain!
"To correct you, I'm a bodyguard." Wen Ni tilted her head.
"It's just a nicer title, what's the difference between you and a bodyguard?" Chen Yingying sneered. "Don't you know who you are? A bodyguard should act like a bodyguard, and you dare to mock me? I'll have Brother Lu fire you later!"
"And who do you think you are?" Wen Ni asked coldly, lowering her eyes.
"Wh-what?"
"I said, what are you?" Wen Ni slowly stood up, and as she took a step forward, Chen Yingying took a step back!
"First, you inexplicably came over and lectured me with a bunch of grand principles, and now you're trying to compare your social status with mine. I think you've lost your mind from filming; do you think this is a feudal society and you're some kind of warlord's daughter?"
"If you're sick, go get treatment right away, don't act crazy in front of me."
"You!" Chen Yingying was so angry that she trembled all over.
Before Chen Yingying could retort, a crew member picked up a megaphone and shouted, "Prepare for filming! Keep quiet on set!"
"..."
Chen Yingying swallowed her anger.
Wen Ni smiled triumphantly.
I took a few steps back, but my gaze was drawn to the director's monitor again!
To be precise, it was Lu Jinye on the monitor.
Lu Jinye was dressed in a Zhongshan suit from the Republican era. He stood there with an elegant demeanor, which was particularly pleasing to the eye!
The man in front of him was dressed in warlord clothes and was also exceptionally handsome; he must be Cai Wenyou, the second male lead.
Cai Wenyou held a prop bolt-action rifle and aimed at Lu Jinye from a certain distance.
Lu Jinye pulled the trigger, dodged the shot, then lunged forward, snatched the rifle, and smashed it down on Cai Wenyou.
Cai Wenyou fell to the ground with a thud.
Militiamen in military uniforms rushed up behind them with guns.
"Wait a moment."
"??"
In the quiet setting, the girl's clear voice stood out starkly.
Everyone turned to look.
The director, also looking displeased, turned to Wen Ni behind him and said, "What are you doing? This shot is a one-take film, with sound recorded on location!"
"The details of the shooting are wrong. Didn't you provide tactical guidance?" Wen Ni pointed to the replay on the monitor, very meticulous.
"What do you know, little girl? You don't even watch TV, yet you dare to point fingers and question the director's professionalism on set?" Chen Yingying walked over, sneering and stirring up trouble.
Director Song looked Wen Ni up and down, completely disregarding her. "The tactical instructor is temporarily unavailable and hasn't joined the crew yet. And what are you doing here, young lady?"
"Where did this wild girl come from? Is she trying to belittle Brother Cai's professional skills?" Cai Wenyou's assistant, Awen, also stood up and angrily accused him!
“Awen”.
Cai Wenyou suddenly spoke up to stop him.
As everyone was wondering, Cai Wenyou smiled slightly and looked at Wen Ni with a beaming smile. "Miss Wen Ni, this is indeed my first time filming a war movie. There are many shortcomings. I would appreciate your guidance."
He actually knew her name? And he even asked her, an outsider, for guidance?
Not only Wen Ni, but everyone else present also felt puzzled!
Chen Yingying was both angry and surprised.
Cai Wenyou's fame and status are second only to Lu Jinye! How could such a top-tier actor know this girl?
On camera, Lu Jinye looked at Cai Wenyou and frowned almost imperceptibly.
"It's not really about giving advice."
Wen Ni remained calm and composed, showing no stage fright under the gaze of the crowd. She walked to Cai Wenyou's side and said only, "The sense of obstruction and recoil were not shown."
Then she reached out her hand to him.
He was taken aback at first, but quickly recovered and handed the bolt-action prop rifle to her!
The moment she got her hands on the prop gun, her entire aura changed drastically.
The recoil of the gun when the bolt is pulled to eject the spent cartridge, the slight jerk when the bolt is pushed back to chamber a round, and those clear, bright eyes, sharp and focused through the sights!
He looks just like a seasoned gunman!
With his index finger he pulled the trigger, the gun pressed powerfully against her shoulder!
The props themselves cannot achieve this effect.
This sense of realism comes from the muscle memory that Wen Ni has developed from firing countless shots!
This is something she has more than Cai Wenyou: it makes the overall shot look more powerful and imposing!
"That was such a smooth and effortless move, it was incredibly fluid!" The director, who had just been questioning her, couldn't help but exclaim in praise.
He watched the playback footage on the monitor over and over again, slowing it down to each frame until it was so precise it was practically an art form!
"besides……"
Wen Ni then turned around and pointed to the extras not far behind Cai Wenyou, "I don't know if they're in the shot, but some of the props they're holding don't fit the storyline."
"Where does it not match?" the props team member asked hurriedly.
"The STG44 assault rifle is a product of World War II and should not have appeared in the early Republic of China. The equipment at that time should mostly be the Type 24 rifle and the Hanyang rifle."
She used very professional terms, but she said them as easily as reciting a menu!
"This... such a professional model, the audience might not even be able to tell the difference, so it shouldn't matter what the extras use, right..." The props team's lips trembled.
"How can it not matter? The most important thing in filmmaking is the details!" Director Song suddenly exploded. "If this young lady hadn't been knowledgeable, was your props department just going to slack off like this?!"
"No... Director Song! I'll expedite the process and have them send another batch of props over right away!" The props team quickly admitted defeat.
Other people at the scene couldn't help but admire her, saying that this young girl was quite capable!
Chen Yingying couldn't believe it. "How could she know such professional stuff? What kind of military enthusiast is she?"
"I've already said, I'm Lu Jinye's bodyguard." Wen Ni's expression was cold.
Only then did they realize the significance of the words "guard"—she might have actually handled a gun!
"Miss Wen Ni."
Cai Wenyou's intense gaze never left Wen Ni. He eagerly stepped forward and said, "My name is Cai Wenyou. If I have any questions in the future, may I ask you for help?"
"I don't have that much time," Wen Ni said, finding it troublesome.
Cai Wenyou was stunned, not expecting to be rejected.
Beside him, Lu Jinye's gloomy expression visibly softened.
"Xiao Li, has the tactical advisor arrived yet?" Director Song, who was in front of the monitor, suddenly raised his voice.
"No, do you need to follow up?" Xiao Li asked.
"No need to rush him! If he doesn't come, just tell him not to come." Director Song waved his hand. "With such a professional bodyguard like Miss Wen here, that's the most professional tactical guidance!"
"Miss Wen, I'm thinking of hiring you as our film crew's tactical advisor! Twenty thousand a month, no, thirty thousand! Is that a good deal?"
What?! Use her?
This decision came as a complete surprise to Chen Yingying and the others.
