The burly man gritted his teeth and said, "I was acting! Look, my acting has improved again."
"Yes, we were all acting."
"It was acting, it didn't hurt at all."
Others shared his sentiments and echoed his words.
The assistant director nodded, "You guys have good acting skills. We'll look you again for future projects."
Several burly men...
Director Wei walked back to the camera and reviewed the footage he had just shot. It was really good.
He said, "Okay! Yan Yu, you rest over there, and let Chang Xuan and Zhang Ying do it again."
Xu Yanyu quickly ran behind Director Wei and the others.
Filming resumed.
The group of extras stood up hesitantly, then rushed towards Chang Xuan through gritted teeth.
Chang Xuan was startled. What was going on? He felt like he was really going to get beaten up.
Zhang Ying, on the other hand, instinctively hid next to Chang Xuan, calling out, "Brother Liang..."
Her shoulders were hunched over, and she didn't know where to hide her hands.
Director Wei, standing nearby, said gleefully, "See? Everyone's too tired to get up early! Look how realistic their acting is!"
The assistant director chimed in, "Zhang Ying, in particular, is in great form today. It seems she's really getting into character."
Looking at the burly men swarming forward, Xu Yanyu felt that it didn't seem like an act.
Fortunately, those burly men knew they were filming a movie, and they started fighting with Chang Xuan again.
After only a few moves, Director Wei shouted, "Back off! Fall down! Chang Xuan, do you still remember the hand gestures for casting a spell?"
Xu Yanyu stared curiously, wondering what this process was all about.
Then she saw those big men stagger backward in a very exaggerated manner, some clutching their chests, others rolling on the ground.
Looking at Chang Xuan again, it seemed he was making a flower-shaped gesture.
This... is a spellcasting gesture?
Xu Yanyu's lips twitched involuntarily a few times.
She was really wrong just now.
She turned to the assistant director beside her and said, "Should I also do that fancy hand gesture... no, I mean, the spell-casting gesture?"
"Your action scenes are so good, why did you have to... use special effects for everything? Chang Xuan had no choice but to resort to this opportunistic approach."
After the assistant director finished speaking, his eyes returned to the distant screen.
"Brother Liang, are you alright?" Zhang Ying asked, hugging Chang Xuan tightly.
Chang Xuan clutched his chest, bit open the blood bag inside, and said while spitting out blood, "I'm fine... cough cough... thank goodness for Senior Liu."
Xu Yanyu opened her mouth again and again; she had a million complaints, but she didn't know if she could actually say them.
Is this male lead really that weak?
The assistant director seemed to know what Xu Yanyu was thinking and explained, "It will be different after the re-editing."
"It looks a bit fake!" Xu Yanyu couldn't hold back any longer.
"How could it be fake? My actors all do their own stunts. It's good enough that they didn't copy the photos of each other from some other drama."
When Director Wei heard Xu Yanyu's words, he thought she was making a fuss over nothing.
Xu Yanyu shut up.
Indeed, Director Wei is a director with a conscience.
"Alright, hurry up and go inside!" The assistant director nudged Xu Yanyu.
Xu Yanyu knew it was her turn to go on stage.
She had only taken two steps when she came back and picked up her prop sword.
Once in front of the camera, she regained her elegant and dignified demeanor.
Are you alright?
She stood in front of Chang Xuan and the other person.
"Cough cough cough... Let's go, let's keep going!"
"It must be someone sent by Yongli again."
Chang Xuan and Zhang Ying each recited their own lines.
The two of them were leaning against a clump of bamboo.
Zhang Ying's face was anxious and pale.
