With everything ready, Su Xi and Xu Lang mounted their horses.
This scene was added on the spot; there was no script, and it all depended on improvisation, which really tested the actors' skills.
This scene appears in one of Su Xi's most famous works, where she handles it with ease.
Xu Lang's delivery of lines was also fine; after all, he's a film emperor, so his acting skills are beyond question.
However, during the action scene, Xu Lang panicked for a moment when the horse started running.
Damn, this horse is a bit out of control.
In addition, when he was holding props and acting with Su Xi, his movements were very clumsy and laborious, while Su Xi seemed relaxed and at ease, as if she were playing a game.
As Xu Lang watched her galloping on horseback, spear in hand, an image of his senior sister filming suddenly flashed through his mind, and the two images gradually overlapped.
What happened?
Not only did his eyesight deteriorate, but his mind also became uncontrollable.
In a moment of distraction, Xu Lang accidentally kicked the horse. Startled, the horse neighed loudly and then galloped away with Xu Lang on its back.
When Xu Lang came to his senses, he was so frightened that he almost wet his pants.
"Stop! Stop it now!"
Xu Lang pulled on the saddle, trying to calm the horse down.
However, the frightened horse was completely out of control and ran faster and faster.
Seeing this, Su Xi pulled on the saddle, lightly kicked the horse's belly, and gave a "Giddy up" sound, quickly chasing after it.
To avoid arousing suspicion, she chased after Xu Lang while brandishing her spear, pretending that they were still filming a scene.
In the blink of an eye, she and Shen Lang were riding side by side.
Seeing his junior brother's pale face, Su Xi chuckled and said, "Is that all you've got?"
"Little Black Flower, are you deliberately messing with me?" Xu Lang was about to cry. This horse was too wild; he couldn't control it at all.
Su Xi: "You chose the horse yourself, what does it have to do with me?"
"If you hadn't suggested playing myself, I wouldn't have had to suffer like this."
So...you admit your acting was terrible?
"You..." Xu Lang freed one hand, pointed at Su Xi, and gritted his teeth. The next second, he screamed hysterically, "Damn it, stop now, I'm not playing anymore."
Su Xi watched as the former top star turned into a coward, and twitched her lips speechlessly.
She sighed and yelled at Xu Lang, "Stop yelling, it's embarrassing."
"Little Black Flower, save me."
Xu Lang didn't care about losing face anymore and turned to Su Xi for help.
No matter how fast he runs, this mad horse will eventually throw him off.
Su Xi caught up even faster, closing the distance with Xu Lang, and then leaped from her horse onto Shen Lang's horse.
"Perfect, absolutely perfect!"
Director Zhu looked at the camera, his eyes shining with excitement.
Having filmed action scenes for so many years, he had never seen anything so spectacular.
Su Xi...
The future is immeasurable!
Seeing this scene in the crowd, Su Rou felt a chill run through her heart.
Zhou Li said maliciously, "Xu Lang hates Su Xi so much, yet she went to Xu Lang's horse on her own initiative. Xu Lang will definitely not let her go."
Qin Na also said, "Xu Lang is a movie star. How can Su Xi compare to even a finger of his? If she wants to imitate Xing Lan, she might as well fall down and become a laughing stock."
Those artists who fawned over Su Rou all came to sabotage Su Xi, believing that Su Xi would suffer a terrible fate this time.
However, things took an unexpected turn.
Xu Lang remained still, the two of them sitting on the same horse, leisurely as if they were taking the horse for a walk.
Su Rou recalled what Xu Lang had said.
I don't want to hurt anyone's life.
What a coward!
Wanting to avenge Su Xi but not daring to shed blood—what kind of revenge is that?
Su Rou, impatient, beckoned to Qin Na, "When Su Xi comes over later, find a way to create some crisis and embarrass Su Xi in public."
"Leave it to me."
Qin Na stealthily approached the film set.
Su Xi's ears were ringing, and she snapped at Xu Lang, "Scream again, and I'll throw you down."
Xu Lang immediately stopped shouting and looked at Su Xi with wide eyes.
Su Xi skillfully rode the horse, her high-tied ponytail fluttering in the wind, a few strands clinging to her cheeks, giving her a sense of grimness from long battles, and her delicate and beautiful face exuded a firm and cold demeanor.
She looks just like a female general who stepped out of a TV show.
So handsome!
Xu Lang was stunned.
Su Xi glanced at him and scoffed, "If you don't want to embarrass yourself, do as I say."
The horse had calmed down and slowed down, and Xu Lang's mood had also calmed down a lot. "What do you want to do?"
"The fight scenes need action," Su Xi instructed. "Swing your broadsword and fight me!"
"oh!"
Xu Lang belatedly realized what was happening and truly got into the zone.
The two sparred on horseback. Su Xi's movements were fast and powerful, and Xu Lang was no match for her. He was almost knocked off his horse several times.
"Little Black Flower, you've trained before?"
Su Xi ignored him and, as they passed a safety air cushion, picked up Xu Lang and threw him down.
The moment Xu Lang fell, he yelled at Su Xi, "Little Black Flower, if I die from this fall, you'll pay with your life!"
The cushion was soft, and Xu Lang rolled around a few times.
Su Xi rode closer on horseback, holding a spear to him. "The victor is king, the loser is an outlaw. You've lost!"
Xu Lang was completely dumbfounded!
This isn't a little black flower; it's clearly a tyrannical flower.
With her explosive acting skills, she's truly comparable to her senior sister Xinglan.
Suddenly, something rolled off the horse.
Su Xi was extremely perceptive and naturally noticed the abnormality.
Her eyes turned cold, and she looked up to her left. Qin Na was standing there, a malicious smile on her lips.
Want to mess with her?
Su Xi sneered disdainfully, bent down, lifted Shen Lang back onto the horse, and easily guided the horse over the obstacle, galloping quickly towards Qin Na.
When Qin Na met Su Xi's sinister expression, she was about to walk away when a force pushed her, causing her to lose her balance and fall flat on her face in front of everyone.
"Qin Na, what are you doing? Who let you go over there?" Director Zhu's angry shouts rang in my ears.
Qin Na got up from the ground, covered in dust and dirt. Her makeup was ruined, and even half of her wig had fallen off.
"Sorry, director, I took the wrong turn." She glared at Su Xi sheepishly, then stomped her feet and ran away quickly.
After putting Xu Lang down, Su Xi said coldly, "Stay away from these brainless women, or you'll get yourself into trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, Director Zhu and a group of staff stood up and cheered loudly, "Su Xi, Xu Lang, your collaboration was brilliant!"
Su Xi smiled faintly, turned around and went to the rest area to get a drink of water.
Xu Lang blushed with embarrassment.
This play was entirely directed and acted by Su Xi himself; he had absolutely no room to improvise.
To put it nicely, I cooperated; to put it bluntly, I was like a toy to be manipulated by Xiao Heihua.
As soon as Su Xi sat down, Hua Qing came over with a fan to help her cool down. "Su Xi, you really surprised me. How come I never knew you were such a good actor?"
Did you give me a chance?
Su Xi lazily raised her eyes.
Hua Qing smiled apologetically, "I was narrow-minded before. I didn't help you secure film and television roles, which was a waste of your talent."
Su Xi had a look on her face that said, "You're the one who just found out."
While the two were chatting, staff came over to distribute boxed lunches.
A burst of mocking laughter came from ahead, "It seems that Young Master Zhou's enthusiasm is only three-tenths. He stopped sending this feast after two days. Su Xi is about to fall out of favor."
"Maybe our young master Zhou is with another woman right now."
