Chapter 248 Killing Three Birds with One Stone
The group didn't notice Gao Min's unusual behavior and continued their lively discussion.
"Hahaha, speaking of this, when I was watching a variety show before, someone recommended that the director arrange a role similar to Xiang Fei for her. I didn't expect that after waiting and waiting, we would get the benefit."
"I think she's way better than Consort Xiang. Consort Xiang only attracted butterflies, but she can attract squirrels too! Look there..."
Ye Wanxi followed the route arranged by the photography team all the way to a stream at the edge of the forest. The butterflies that had surrounded her either landed on the protruding rocks in the stream or on the grass beside the stream.
On the other side of the river, several beautiful squirrels with big tails were hopping around with pine nuts in their arms.
At first, they just watched from afar, but after noticing Ye Wanxi's presence, they actually stepped on the large rocks in the stream and hopped across to the other side, stopping about two or three meters away from Ye Wanxi, not daring to get closer.
These small animals in the less visited wild jungles are much more timid than those in tourist attractions that are used to seeing tourists.
Ye Wanxi glanced at the fluffy tails of the squirrels, her eyes lit up, and she leaned down to tentatively reach out her hand to them.
At first, the little squirrels were hesitant to approach, but they couldn't resist the temptation and cautiously moved towards Ye Wanxi. They even put the pine nuts they were holding on the ground and pushed them towards Ye Wanxi.
Ye Wanxi's expression softened further as she accepted the pine nuts and tentatively reached out to touch the nearest squirrel.
The little squirrel had glossy brown fur. When Ye Wanxi touched it, it stiffened for a moment, but then relaxed after realizing that she wouldn't hurt it, and obediently let Ye Wanxi stroke it from top to bottom, all the way to the tip of its tail.
With this start, the other little squirrels became a little bolder and took the initiative to move closer to Ye Wanxi, letting her touch and rub them.
The morning sunlight shines on the shimmering water, reflecting a person and their pets on the riverbank.
Under the sunlight, Ye Wanxi seemed to be enveloped in a faint halo. The slight upturn of her lips as she stroked the fluffy fur perfectly expressed her good mood at the moment.
A gentle breeze swept across the green grass by the stream, rippling the spring water and blowing across the squirrel's large tail.
This scene was neither in the script nor expected, yet it made the photographers on site unable to stop, unconsciously focusing all their lenses on Ye Wanxi.
Thanks to Ye Wanxi, the filming, which was originally planned to take a day and a half or even two days, was mostly completed in just one morning.
Finally, only the forest hunting option remained.
It's a game advertisement after all; no matter how beautifully it's filmed, it can't escape the core of fighting.
Especially the character cosplayed by Ye Wanxi, who seems to be a marksman in the game.
Since he's an archer, he'll definitely have to shoot arrows.
According to the filming crew's arrangement, Ye Wanxi only needed to hold the arrow and make a few gestures to pretend.
When Ye Wanxi heard the production team say that, she also thought that the prop they had arranged for her was just a toy bow.
To my surprise, it turned out to be the real deal once I got my hands on it!
"You guys made these props...you're really going all out, aren't you afraid they'll hurt someone?"
"It won't hurt anyone. The arrowheads have been modified. Even if it hits someone, it'll only hurt a little, there won't be any danger. Besides, nobody else knows how to use this, right? I borrowed this from a friend. Be careful when you handle it, don't break it, or I won't be able to handle it when we get back..."
Before the chief photographer could finish speaking, Ye Wanxi drew her bow and tested it, and the legendary specially treated arrow flew out with a whoosh.
With a thud, it hit a tree not far away, and you could still see its swaying tail feathers from a distance.
"Explain it to my friend." The lead photographer finished speaking with a strong will, his mouth instantly forming an "O" shape.
“You, you, you…”
By the time the photographer finished speaking, Ye Wanxi's arrow had already been launched and she hadn't had time to stop it.
He only realized what he had done after finishing, and looked embarrassed: "Sorry, I just had an itchy hand and tried it out. Could you check if there's any damage? If you really mind, please tell me where I bought it, and I'll buy a new one to return to him?"
The lead photographer, no longer concerned with whether or not the money was returned, stared blankly for a moment before suddenly slapping his thigh: "Holy crap! Who took a picture of that just now...?"
"I took a picture of it."
"I took a picture of that too."
Ye Wanxi's script for the shoot wasn't finished yet, and many of the cameras on set were still running, which happened to capture the entire scene just now.
The chief cinematographer couldn't sit still any longer. He immediately had his staff copy the clip for him and send it to the friend who had lent him the bow, reminding him not to share it with anyone else.
His friend couldn't sit still after reading it...
"My friend said you don't need to pay it back, just keep playing with it, and he'll take responsibility if you break it."
"???" This change in attitude is far too fast.
The lead photographer, however, was grinning from ear to ear, looking at Ye Wanxi with the same kind of gentle gaze one would give a Big Bad Wolf when looking at Little Red Riding Hood.
"Wanxi, you can shoot arrows too? Why didn't you say so sooner? We almost missed such important footage."
"...You didn't ask."
"Yes, it was our oversight. You can wait a bit..."
What kind of effect do you want to achieve?
"It's like... chasing prey in the woods, shooting as you go. Whether you hit the target or not is one thing, the most important thing is to have a beautiful and graceful posture. Oh, right..." The main photographer started to push his luck, "Do you know how to do that 'kill three birds with one stone' skill that you see in TV dramas to show off? This hero happens to have a skill that's exactly like that, it perfectly matches the character."
"..." You really dare to bring that up!
There's no such thing as a free lunch; this money isn't easy to earn!
“…I’ll try.”
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry!"
Originally, they planned to rest for a while before filming this last scene, and they even hired an action director.
But the chief cinematographer couldn't wait any longer. He also noticed that Ye Wanxi was experienced, so the action director didn't even need to be used. They started filming right away.
The photographer's request wasn't difficult for Ye Wanxi. In her previous life, when her senior brothers were occasionally away from home and she wanted to have a good meal, she would go hunting in the back mountains by herself.
However, times have changed and generalizations cannot be made. Ye Wanxi was just making a few random gestures at this moment; she couldn't possibly be actually going to hit those small animals.
Otherwise, in less than an hour, she might be trending again for hunting wild animals and get a lot of flak.
Ye Wanxi performed the first few moves very well, but she was just missing the one that the photographer specifically requested—a triple kill.
Ye Wanxi looked around and finally decided to land in a sparse grove of trees.
The sound of the arrow slicing through the air was quite pleasant, but in a short while, everyone heard the muffled thud of the arrow hitting the ground, followed by several terrified exclamations.
