Director Wei didn't care whether she auditioned or not; as long as Xu Yanyu was skilled in martial arts, he was willing to film her!
He immediately drew out his voice, "Master Zhang, is Master Zhang here? Come over here quickly!"
Master Zhang, who was instructing Zhang Ying, heard someone calling him from afar.
Just then, a staff member in the middle called out, "Master Zhang, Director Wei is calling you. He's over there!"
The staff member pointed in the direction of the health director.
Master Zhang patted the dust off his clothes and turned to Zhang Ying, saying, "Did you remember the movements from just now? I'll go over there for a bit."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards Director Wei's direction.
Duan Nianzhuang, who was practicing nearby, looked curiously into the distance and asked, "What are they doing?"
He asked Chang Xuan, who was standing next to him.
"We should probably discuss Liu Jing's martial arts moves," Chang Xuan replied, stopping his own movements.
“Let’s go take a look!” Duan Nianzhuang walked over there naturally.
Chang Xuan did not refuse and followed suit.
Seeing the two of them like this, Zhang Ying stopped what she was doing and followed them.
Before the group could even see what was happening ahead, they heard Master Zhang's hearty laughter.
"I told you Xu Yanyu was talented! Look at those people who have been following me since before filming started, and they still can't even learn some fancy moves properly."
"Yan Yucai watched for a long time, and his swordplay was so good! That's talent, something others can only envy."
After Master Zhang finished speaking, he excitedly waved the prop sword in his hand, displaying an incredibly high level of enthusiasm.
The trio, who couldn't quite master fancy moves, exchanged glances.
I'm not really keen on going over there to join in the fun.
They're going there to embarrass themselves.
But what Master Zhang just said contained a lot of information.
Xu Yanyu was actually able to perform sword flourishes?
Chang Xuan had the strongest reaction, as Master Zhang had been nagging him about it for a long time.
The group continued walking forward without stopping.
Xu Yanyu quickly replied, "I had some prior experience with martial arts, which is why I was able to learn so quickly."
Ms. Zhang is very straightforward, but she doesn't want to offend anyone.
She saw Zhang Ying and the others coming over.
Master Zhang, however, didn't care. "No wonder you did such good job when I was instructing you on how to do wire work. You did all the movements I told you to do perfectly."
Director Wei nodded repeatedly, explaining that it was because Xu Yanyu had done a good job that they added some memorable action scenes when giving her more screen time.
Chang Xuan couldn't help but interject, "Xu Yanyu really knows how to twirl swords?"
Master Zhang glanced at Chang Xuan, then shook his head and said, "Fortunately, the martial arts skills of Xu Yanyu in your script are not low. Now it seems... it's not out of place to have Xu Yanyu as a martial arts supporting actress in the back."
This task was originally supposed to be done by the male lead, but he just couldn't teach him how.
It was no use in Mr. Zhang being anxious.
Director Wei, still concerned for his male lead, patted Chang Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you'll get plenty of highlight shots later on."
That's good too; it will save you a lot of energy later and also satisfy the audience's expectations.
Director Wei remembers that the audience wanted something ethereal, grand, and with spectacular scenes.
Now that Xu Yanyu knows swordsmanship, she can design many suitable moves.
Alright, so this answer means Xu Yanyu really can wield a sword.
Zhang Ying, standing next to her, didn't know how to describe her feelings.
Jealousy, envy, admiration... all mixed together, weighing heavily on her heart.
With such a stealthy supporting character, the lead actress is practically relegated to the background.
Duan Nianzhuang asked curiously, "Yan Yu, why didn't you tell everyone before?"
Even Zhang Ying was curious about this question.
If she knew swordsmanship, she would have told Director Wei long ago.
She'd be a fool to hide her talents if she had more opportunities to showcase them.
Xu Yanyu gave the same answer as before, "I hadn't learned it yet."
Those few words made Duan Nianzhuang's eyes light up with excitement.
He learned a lot about acting from Xu Yanyu when they acted together before.
During this time, he also listened to Xu Yanyu's songs, and he admired her even more.
Now I hear that Xu Yanyu has even mastered the basics of swordsmanship in such a short time.
He was truly convinced.
What could possibly be so difficult for Xu Yanyu?
How is it that some people can learn something so well just by being exposed to it?
Feeling embarrassed by everyone's stares, Xu Yanyu urged, "Didn't you say the location over there was ready and we were going to move there to film?"
"Let's go! Let's go over there now. Let's adjust the shooting order and shoot Zhang Ying and Chang Xuan's scenes first."
Master Zhang, seize this opportunity and teach Xu Yanyu a couple more difficult moves to impress people.
Director Wei glanced at the sun; indeed, there wasn't much time left.
He glanced at Xu Yanyu again with some regret.
It's a pity his movie is about to be released.
Otherwise, he would definitely have asked Master Zhang to teach Xu Yanyu more. Now he can only try to allocate some time to Xu Yanyu.
He seemed to remember something.
As he walked, he said to Xu Yanyu, "Yanyu, the TV series is in a hurry to be broadcast now."
The background music for the TV series needs to be recorded as soon as possible. Don't just focus on preparing the singer's music these next few days.
You should also practice the music chosen for the TV series.
As soon as Director Wei finished speaking, Zhang Ying, who was standing next to him, was shocked.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Xu Yanyu is going to sing the music for 'The Legend of the Immortals: Fallen Flowers'?"
"Huh, you didn't know about this?" Chang Xuan was also surprised.
This news had already spread throughout the film crew, how come Zhang Ying didn't know?
