56 Chapter 56
On the busy set, Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen are performing a touching love story, and the other supporting actors who take turns to appear on stage are also performing wonderful love-hate and revenge scenes. Only the second male lead, who has no role yet, is holding a wooden sword in the corner, repeatedly slashing at the sword-practicing puppet every day.
The demon cultivators who had originally planned to join in the fun and see if they could get a character to play with: ...
What is this doing?
They pushed each other and finally pushed Dong Ling out. Dong Ling stumbled forward and walked carefully to Xuan Mo's side: "Master, didn't you come here to film? Why..."
Before he could finish his words, Xuan Mo suddenly swung his sword with a thunderous momentum and chopped it at the tattered puppet. Dong Ling was about to take a few steps back to avoid the scattering wood chips, but was surprised to find that the tattered puppet was not hurt at all.
What on earth is going on? Has the master lost all his power? This doesn't look like it.
Before he could even open his mouth to ask, Xuan Mo suddenly became excited. His dark eyes blazed with excitement, and he leaped into the air with brisk steps and landed beside the director. "Ning Shu, I've mastered it!"
Seeing him showing such rare emotions, if the puppet had not been unharmed, Dong Ling would have thought he had mastered some peerless swordsmanship.
"Really?" Ning Shu's eyes lit up, and he happily stood up from his chair: "Take me to see it!"
A few days ago, she made such unreasonable demands because she didn't understand sword cultivation. Later, after Zixiao's popular science, she wanted to find Xuan Mo to apologize, but Xuan Mo said that his swordsmanship had also improved by controlling the sword energy. Seeing that the other party was so motivated, Ning Shu really couldn't say such discouraging words as just forget it.
Ning Shu originally thought that if it didn't work after today, she would find another way, but she didn't expect Xuan Mo to actually do it. He is indeed a swordsmanship genius.
Just then, the previous take was approved, and Ning Shu enthusiastically followed Xuan Mo back to the corner where he had practiced swordplay. Xuan Mo took a deep breath and pulled out the Xuanshuang sword from his waist. Almost instantly, the pure blue sword energy dyed the cold and shining sword blade murderous. He lowered his body's center of gravity and rushed towards the tattered puppet on the field. The fierce murderous intent pierced Dong Ling's body so much that she began to feel phantom pain.
However, the puppet that was his target was unharmed. The sword tip lightly brushed past the puppet's ear, without even adding a scratch to the tattered puppet.
"So cool! This is so cool, Xuan Mo!" Ning Shu excitedly stood on tiptoe and clapped vigorously: "You can actually bring your own special effects, this effect is so cool!"
God knows how many troubles Ning Shu encountered during these days of filming, the most annoying and unexpected of which was the special effects of the movie.
Ning Shu had originally assumed that in a world of immortal cultivation, special effects would be the easiest thing. If that didn't work, he could just bang out some spells. What grand spectacle wouldn't he be able to create?
Unfortunately, imagination is rich and reality is skinny. She overlooked the most important issue: that is, real spells all have actual effects.
For example, if the Black Mountain Old Demon fought with a cultivator, it would be unreasonable to use hand-to-hand combat instead of magic in such a life-and-death battle, right?
Then let's use magic. According to the script, the monk casts a heavenly thunder curse on the Black Mountain Old Demon. The thunder is real, so can the actor's physical body still withstand it?
For example, if you want to show that a certain big man has great magical powers and can easily change the weather and shake the earth with a single move, of course there are cultivators who can achieve this effect, but they must be cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Stage. If you want to make a bigger show, then you must have a great cultivator who will condescend to come and participate.
Therefore, in order to make the Black Mountain Old Demon more impressive, this role can only be played by Zixiao, the only person in the crew who has reached the God Transformation Stage.
Ning Shu had been feeling overwhelmed by the various restrictions these days. She grabbed Zi Xiao and asked, "Is there any illusionist who only thunders but doesn't produce any rain?"
"Of course there are cultivators who specialize in illusion." Zi Xiao smiled. "But illusions are either too weak to be of any use, or too strong to be indistinguishable from the real thing. That's why cultivators who practice illusion won't easily reveal themselves until they've mastered it."
After successfully practicing, you will become a big boss who comes and goes without a trace and will never show up.
So to sum up, this "fancy" sword technique developed by Xuan Mo did solve Ning Shu's urgent problem.
"So realistic! And the fighting moves are so cool!" Ning Shu was so excited that she rushed over and shook Xuan Mo's hand: "How did you do that?"
So the cool-looking man stuttered again: "I, I deliberately controlled the direction of the spiritual power and sword energy, making them avoid the direction of the sword..."
Although Ning Shu didn't quite understand those complicated cultivation methods, she fully realized that it would be difficult for ordinary people to do this except Xuan Mo.
"Xuan Mo, I need you." She held Xuan Mo's hand tightly with both hands, trying to make her expression serious, like a boss who is just about to start making plans: "I have an important task here, and I don't trust anyone else except you."
Xuan Mo's cheeks began to feel hot again, and his hand, which was held, felt a strange tingling sensation. Although he did not feel any magic or spiritual power at work, he had an urge to agree to it regardless of the consequences.
"I want to put all the intense fighting scenes on you alone. I know it's a bit hard, but the corresponding rewards will be very generous." Ning Shu, who was immersed in the career of directing, began to make big promises:
"The male and female protagonists will be responsible for the romance, and you, the second male lead, will be responsible for the fighting and showing off. When the movie is released, your popularity will definitely be much higher than the male lead. By then, you will be a household name and a superstar. All the girls in the cultivation world will go crazy for you!"
The black-hearted capitalist boss never mentioned the salary and compensation after the sudden increase in workload, and just kept saying nice things as if they were free:
"As the saying goes, the male lead belongs to the female lead, and the second male lead belongs to the audience. Hyun Mo, you are handsome, come from a prestigious family, and are very powerful. Most importantly, you are so handsome in fighting. In the future, your resources and acting opportunities will definitely..."
She spoke with trembling tongue, shaking her hands vigorously as she spoke, making Xuan Mo's heart beat like a drum in her hand. Finally, she nodded in a daze: "Okay, okay, I agree."
In fact, he didn't hear what the other person said at all. His mind was full of Ning Shu's soft hands holding his.
"Great! I knew you wouldn't let me down! Hyun Mo, I will definitely make you the brightest star!"
The demon cultivators who watched the entire process said: ...
So that's how it is. Is this Ning Shu from the Hehuan Sect? Sure enough, they didn't worship the wrong person. She's truly terrifying!
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Ning Shu was in a good mood. She finally let go of Xuan Mo's hand and turned around to see those strange-looking demon cultivators behind her: "Who are you...?"
"Hello, Master Ning Shu, we are all servants of Master Xuan Mo." Dong Ling, as always, took on the important task of negotiating with outsiders: "As you can see, we are all demon cultivators. We even voted for you together in the talent show a while ago!"
"Oh, hello!" Hearing that they were not only Xuan Mo's servants but also his fans, Ning Shu, in high spirits, waved his hand and said, "If you don't mind, please feel free to take a look around. You can also ask for my autograph and take a photo with me. You're welcome!"
"Thank you, sir! But compared to that... hehe, we mainly want to follow in the footsteps of Master Xuan Mo..." Dong Ling clasped her hands together and rubbed them a few times, with a slightly flattering smile on her face:
"Lord Ning Shu, we have almost run out of money to vote for you. Do you have any work we can do?"
It would be even better if I could play a role.
"Well, if you put it that way... let me think about it..." Ning Shu touched his chin and looked at the appearance of these demon cultivators while thinking. He found that most of them looked a bit weird, and the animal features on their bodies had not completely faded. However, there were a few who looked okay, at least they looked like ordinary humans.
"I do have some roles for you to play." Ning Shu pointed at the demon cultivators behind her: "They can play the servants of the Black Mountain Demon. As for you guys..." She pointed at Dong Ling and the other demon cultivators who were better at transforming:
"I have a few roles that are very suitable for you to play, but they may involve some close contact with the female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect. Are you willing?"
Not only can you make money but you can also have close contact with the beautiful monks of the Hehuan Sect. Is there such a good thing?
Dong Ling's face was about to bloom with a smile, and she quickly agreed: "No problem, no problem! Feel free to assign us any roles!"
Ning Shu then smiled happily: "I'm so lucky today. I solved two problems in one go!"
Then she waved impatiently to the disciples who had been waiting on the side: "You guys, get ready! The actors are in place, we'll start filming your scenes first!"
Dong Ling and the other demon cultivators followed Ning Shu's gaze and saw that there were indeed several beautiful female cultivators with radiant faces. One of them, a sister in blue clothes, was smiling brightly and even blew a kiss in the direction of the demon cultivators.
Could it be that I will finally have the good fortune to be with someone today? Dong Ling's heart was burning with excitement.
The set was quickly ready. With the sound of a clapperboard, which signaled the start of filming, Dong Ling changed into a scholar's attire and stood in the shabby room, looking at the beautiful lady in blue clothes. She felt a little bit of anticipation in her heart, which hadn't been seen for a long time.
"My dear, a good night is rare, let's go to bed early~" The beautiful sister had an enchanting figure and pushed Dong Ling onto the bed with a light push.
Dong Ling lay on the bed without any resistance and couldn't help but smile obscenely.
"Hey, hey, girl..."
Before he could finish his words, the beautiful sister behind the curtain suddenly changed her appearance. Her originally pretty face revealed the white bones, and sharp fangs protruded from her bright red lips. With such a terrifying face, the man-eating evil ghost pounced on Dong Ling with a grim smile.
“Aa ...
"Help! Help! I quit! I quit! I-don't-do-it-anymore!!!"
Listening to the heartbreaking screams from behind the curtain, Zixiao shook his shoulders guiltily: "Isn't it bad if we don't tell him what we're filming in advance?"
"There's nothing I can do. If I tell them, it won't be as realistic." Ning Shu looked at the scene coming through the curtain and nodded with satisfaction. "Besides, I told them that they would have close contact with the disciples of the Hehuan Sect, and they all agreed, so there must be no problem!"
