Chapter 48 Two Updates in One



The only authentic reading: Jinjiang Literature City!

Three days later.

Su Zhuo took a nanny car to the "Star Wars" crew. After an hour and a half, he finally arrived at the film and television city in the suburbs. However, because there were too many crews, the nanny car could not enter, so he had to get off and walk.

Su Zhuo got out of the car and walked inside. It was extremely noisy all around. Some were reciting scripts, some were trying to figure out their own moves, and some were being scolded by their superiors in the crew. It was as noisy as a vegetable market.

The crew of "Star Wars" was at the innermost part. Leon Si generously contracted a large area at the innermost part. When Su Zhuo arrived, the staff had already set up most of the green screens and were just about to finish the work.

"Su Zhuo, you're here," Li Angsi waved happily when he saw Su Zhuo. "Come over here, I've got something good to show you."

Su Zhuo walked over, his eyes fell on a huge box covered with red velvet beside Li Angsi, and he raised his eyebrows.

"What is it?"

Tang Xiaofeng was also a little curious.

"Ding ding ding! Look at my new equipment, the new X234 series. I specially customized it from abroad. It took me a lot of effort." Li Angsi didn't keep the suspense and directly lifted the red velvet cloth, his smile full of ardent love.

A new silver-gray camera, half a person's height, appeared in front of Su Zhuo and others. In the sunlight, the camera glowed with a beautiful and valuable luster.

"Wow! It looks very expensive." Su Zhuo clapped his hands in support.

Li Angsi smiled and said, "It's not bad! There are only 500 of them in the world. It's every director's dream camera. I decided on it when I was preparing the script for Interstellar. It's great to be able to catch it."

He pointed to the green screen not far away and said, "Come on, let's get the feel of the mirror first."

Su Zhuo cooperated and walked into the green screen. Tang Xiaofeng stood beside Li Angsi, with a look of relief in his eyes. Seeing that Li Angsi was so serious and even got an X234 camera, the special effects should not be too bad, right?

Not far away.

Wei Bing, who had just gotten off the car, looked up and saw Li Angsi and Su Zhuo chatting and laughing, and he was also introducing various camera positions and shooting points to her. She felt particularly uncomfortable.

In the past few days, he has been wanting to take Pu Yaolian to meet Li Angsi, to let him see that the candidate he recommended is definitely better than Su Zhuo.

As a result, Li Angsi didn't even answer the phone.

Wei Bin took a deep breath and walked towards Li Angsi. When the staff around him saw him, they all greeted him and called for help.

"Hello, Mr. Wei Peng."

"Good morning, Mr. Wei!"

Li Angsi, who was adjusting the camera, didn't even turn his head, as if he didn't hear it. This cold attitude made Wei Bing very embarrassed. He shot his eyes at Su Zhuo in the field like a sharp sword.

Su Zhuo sensed Wei Bing's hostility. Although he didn't know what was wrong with him, he still gave him a provocative smile.

Wei Bing clenched his fists, his face looked cold and distant, but a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He turned and walked towards the dressing room in the building.

"Brother Wei, the content of today's filming is..." The agent whispered the notice that had just been sent to Wei Bing. Halfway through, Wei Bing's face darkened.

“Why do I have so few scenes?”

The agent was confused by the question, then said, "It's probably because he just joined the crew and the director wants everyone to get used to each other for a while. After all, Su Zhuo has never filmed a movie before, so he must have a lot of problems."

Noticing Wei Bing's strange expression, he got the point and continued, "Su Zhuo's inability to film will definitely lead to a lot of jokes. Maybe he'll come to you for advice then."

Wei Bing curled his lips in satisfaction and walked forward again. "That's wishful thinking. I wouldn't teach anyone a woman with such impure thoughts. Go and find out what Su Zhuo's role is."

"Okay." Although the agent didn't understand, he still agreed and sent Wei Bin into the lounge. He immediately went to the crew to ask for a copy of the female lead's role. After thinking about it, he also asked for a copy of the notice for the second female lead, Pu Yaolian, and brought it back.

"Brother Wei, this is Su Zhuo's announcement today, and this is from Miss Lianlian."

Wei Bing took it and looked through it. He found that there was nothing wrong with the scene, and his expression completely improved. He asked his agent, "Is Lianlian not here yet?"

"I called and asked, and they said there was traffic and I might be late, but Miss Lianlian's scene is in the afternoon, so it should be okay if she doesn't come."

After all, Wei Bin is protecting me.

Wei Bing frowned. He had originally planned to take the opportunity in the morning to introduce Lianlian to Li Angsi, but since she was stuck in traffic, he had to find another time.

"Brother Wei, the makeup artist is here."

After his agent gave a quiet reminder, Wei Bin immediately threw the notices of Su Zhuo and Pu Yaolian into the trash can, and then poured the drink at hand on it to destroy the evidence.

——————————

On the other side,

Li Angsi found that Su Zhuo had an excellent memory and could remember every point accurately without any confusion. He could hardly contain his excitement. "Okay, go and get ready. We will shoot the scene of you and the male lead meeting for the first time this morning."

Su Zhuo nodded, walked out of the green screen, and went to the dressing room under the guidance of the staff.

On the way, Tang Xiaofeng was extremely excited: "Xiao Su Zhuo, your memory is amazing. I spent several days memorizing the positions and was scolded by the director many times before I finally mastered it. I was so scared that Li Angsi would scold you just now."

Su Zhuo smiled. Good or bad memory is related to mental strength. Strictly speaking, she does not have a good memory, but everything in her eyes naturally contains some indescribable rules.

The lounge provided by the crew for Su Zhuo is a spacious single room, which is equipped with tea, snacks, dressing room and changing room.

The real treatment of the heroine.

After Su Zhuo sat down, a makeup artist immediately came forward to take care of her skin and prepare for her makeup. Several other staff members began to measure her size and prepare the clothes she would wear.

In less than half an hour, Su Zhuo's makeup and hair were done. She only had a light base of makeup, her long hair was tied into a ponytail, and she changed into a dark blue outfit.

It looks simple and cool.

"Wow! This outfit is so simple yet so beautiful." Tang Xiaofeng exclaimed.

The other makeup artists proudly said, "Of course! Don't underestimate these simple outfits. These are all designed by the director himself. There are casual outfits as well as armor for battlefield costumes. Each one was designed by a dedicated person."

"Li Angsi is reliable in this regard." Tang Xiaofeng nodded.

Su Zhuo frowned slightly as she looked at herself in the camera. How could this outfit look like an interstellar general? She thought of her past attire: the plain linen clothes she wore as a child, and the uniforms she was issued when she joined the army.

There is a big difference between the interstellar military uniforms and the blue star military uniforms. In addition to the different materials, the interstellar military uniforms are more fit to the body. To describe it in one sentence: like mercury irrigation, fits the body shape, and is ever-changing.

However, thinking of Blue Star's technology, Su Zhuo endured it for the time being.

Maybe adding special effects later would be more appropriate.

9:30 in the morning.

"Star Wars" officially started filming.

A large part of the venue was set up with green screens, as well as some indoor settings. Li Angsi and the assistant director stood outside the venue and shouted "Action" through a loudspeaker.

The first part of "Star Wars" tells the story of the protagonist, Relos, who was oppressed on a low-level planet and had to leave his hometown, determined to change his fate and choose to join the army.

After leaving the low-level planet, his first stop was the battlefield. He met the army general for the first time - the heroine Lilitana. He was shocked by her beauty and fell in love with her at first sight. He vowed to make a name for himself and marry Lilitana.

As a result, he was despised by Lilitana's subordinates as a low-level alien in front of her, and he boasted that he wanted to overthrow the rule of the empire. Even so, Lilitana still tolerated him and kept him.

Leilos is grateful and determined to work hard not to let Lilitana down. Later, Lilitana will find out that he is secretly training and will look at him differently. She will give him guidance and they will get closer and closer.

Su Zhuo went through most of the plot and couldn't help laughing in his heart. Isn't this the Long Aotian script that Tang Xiaofeng often talked about?

She both understood and couldn't understand the heroine's early behavior in the script.

A general could actually be changed by a rookie's secret training? This is outrageous. Which soldier in the barracks is not diligent? Should I say that he is worthy of the male protagonist's halo?

Hearing the word "Action" in his ears, Su Zhuo withdrew the teasing in his heart, opened his eyes, and his demeanor suddenly changed.

Wei Bing, who was standing opposite Su Zhuo, had been observing Su Zhuo quietly. Seeing that she was daydreaming, he sneered in his heart. He wanted to let Su Zhuo know clearly during this filming.

What is the best actor?

The moment he heard Li Angsi and the others shout "start", Wei Bing immediately immersed himself in the role. As a movie emperor, he has the ability to get into the role quickly which many actors cannot achieve, and he also has... Holy crap!

He widened his eyes and looked at Su Zhuo, whose face was still the same but whose aura was completely different, and he could not hide his horror.

Su Zhuo was a few meters away from him, with several extras around her acting as her subordinates. She sat casually on a dilapidated container. Although there was war raging all around and dangers lurking on every side, the sight of her made everyone feel at ease as if they were being protected by a strong person.

Because she is the interstellar general of noble birth and outstanding military achievements - Lilitana.

Off the court, Li Angsi's eyes were filled with excitement, "This is the feeling, this is the feeling."

The assistant director and other assistant directors surrounded Su Zhuo with their cameras, their eyes filled with the same enthusiasm as Li Ansi's. "That's right! Lilitana, the only female general of the Interstellar Empire."

Inside the venue.

Lilitana, played by Su Zhuo, glanced at the disheveled Lei Luos and said in a thunderous voice, "Who are you? Where are you from? Where are you going?"

"My name is Lei Luosi, and I come from the Mortal Star in the 08 galaxy."

Lei Luos, played by Wei Bin, was impressed by her aura, and his stuttering answer was just right. Before he finished speaking, the people around Lilitana let out a light exclamation.

"Isn't that a low-level planet? How could someone from a low-level planet come to the battlefield? Leave now, this is not the place for you."

"Don't say that, Thor. What does it matter what galaxy it is? We are all citizens of the Empire." Lilitana stopped the people around her from expelling her and asked again:

"You're not here for tourism, are you? Are you planning to join the army?"

"Yes, I want to join the army, I want to change my destiny, I want to overthrow the rule of the empire." Leilos was originally frightened, but he didn't expect Lilitana to be unexpectedly kind. His eyes fell on Lilitana's fair and stunning face with obsession, and he expressed his inner goal without hesitation.

After he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter all around him, and he suddenly came to his senses about what he had said. His face turned pale, and his legs trembled slightly. He wanted to turn around and run away, but for some reason he couldn't lift his feet.

Lei Luos closed his eyes in despair, knowing that he was finished.

a long time.

Lilitana's voice rang in his ears: "Overthrowing the Empire? That's a very good and lofty ideal. Welcome to join the Seventh Legion. I am the Chief Commander of the Legion - Lilitana."

"Ka! Very good!!!"

Leon Si's excited voice came from outside the field.

Su Zhuo immediately came to his senses, turned around and left, but Wei Bing, who was standing there, took a full thirty seconds to come back to his senses, with a storm in his eyes.

What's going on?

it's over?

He clearly wanted to suppress Su Zhuo just now, but not only did he fail to suppress her, he was led by her by the nose and finished the whole scene.

People in Urumqi and Penang are trembling.

What a terrifying ability this is! Even now he can't even recall how he took the photo.

Off the court.

Li Angsi looked at Su Zhuo who was approaching with satisfaction and said with a smile, "It was filmed very well. Let's review it and see if there's any problem. This part will be passed."

The assistant director said cheerfully, "I don't think there will be any problems. Su Zhuo's acting has exceeded all of our expectations. Somehow I feel like the best actor almost became a supporting role."

Wei Bing, who had just come out, turned pale when he heard this.

What do you mean? He is the protagonist. This movie is said to have a male and female protagonist, but in fact the male protagonist has more scenes than the female protagonist. It mainly tells the story of Lelos fighting on the battlefield to overthrow the rule. To put it bluntly, the highlight is all on the male protagonist.

Now the assistant director says he's just a foil?

Wei Bin pushed the assistant director aside and squeezed to the other side of Li Angsi to watch the replay.

A two-minute scene was quickly replayed. Wei Bing's face became uglier and uglier, and the assistant director and other staff members surrounding him began to murmur.

"Why does it feel like the actor's performance is a bit strange?"

"I think it's okay."

"No, haven't you noticed that Su Zhuo's acting was so good that the actor's acting skills seemed mediocre..." After the man finished speaking, he suddenly found that Wei Bing was turning his head around to look for the person who was talking. He was so scared that he quickly fell silent and shrank back.

Wei Bing's face looked extremely ugly. He looked at Li Angsi who was playing the video again, hoping that he could say a few fair words to save his face.

Unexpectedly, Li Angsi, who was immersed in the film, praised Su Zhuo generously, "Very good, this is the Lilitana in my mind, Su Zhuo filmed it according to this tone."

As for Wei Bin, he never mentioned him, as if he was not the male protagonist.

Wei Bin was so angry that he vomited blood. The string of rationality in his head snapped with a bang. "Director Li, I don't think my performance in this scene was good enough. I want to reshoot it."

His tone was not very good, and anyone could tell that he was angry.

Everything around became quiet.

Li Angsi raised his head from the machine and gave Wei Bing a deep look. "Alright, it's good that Mr. Wei pursues perfection. Let's do it again."

He looked at Su Zhuo and asked with concern:

"Su Zhuo, do you need to take a break before filming?"

Su Zhuo shook his head and said no, it was just a short distance and not tiring at all.

Wei Bing originally wanted to rest for five minutes before entering the venue, but when Su Zhuo said that it was not necessary, he gritted his teeth and followed him into the venue. At the same time, he secretly thought in his heart that he would never give Su Zhuo any chance this time.

++++++++

Filming begins again.

Wei Bing went all out from the start, his aura like a hurricane pressing down on Su Zhuo. He was very confident in his ability to dominate the scene.

He wasn't serious just now.

This time, it’s definitely different...hiss!

Before Wei Bing could even smile triumphantly, he felt a huge sense of oppression coming towards him. Su Zhuo was sitting in the distance with a casual attitude.

But it is like a giant beast in the starry sky, powerful and terrifying.

"Plop!" A crisp sound woke up everyone inside and outside the field.

Wei Bin's agent wanted to rush into the venue but was stopped by Li Angsi's secretary Li Li. Her idea was simple: to make Wei Bin look bad for a while longer.

Li Angsi didn't say anything. He looked at the scene in the camera and unexpectedly felt that this scene was very harmonious and in line with the development of the plot, so he didn't say anything.

The agent looked anxiously at the field.

Su Zhuo looked at Wei Bing, who was kneeling on the ground with a confused look on his face, and raised his eyebrows. This guy was too lame. This time she didn't even use half of her mental power to shoot the MV, and he actually knelt again?

However, the show is not over yet.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Empire's First Military Camp?"

The girl's voice was soft and clear, and it was obviously very pleasant to listen to, but her aura was so powerful that it swept the entire audience. The stunned extras and directors around her didn't notice that she had changed her lines.

Wei Bing, who was lying on the ground, reacted and tried to get up immediately, but found that his legs were too weak to get up. He was also shocked and angry when he heard that Su Zhuo had changed the lines.

But he didn't dare to call a stop easily. If he did, it would mean...

Wei Bin tried hard to suppress his humiliation and anger, but his eyes betrayed a hint of resentment. He changed his tone and said, "I'm Lei Luos, from a low-ranking star in the 08 galaxy. I want to join the army. I want to change my destiny."

The extras whose lines were inexplicably snatched away suddenly felt unhappy.

Lilitana, played by Su Zhuo, said "Oh" and her eyes seemed to flash with interest: "Thor, go check it out. If there is no problem, you can recruit him into the new recruit camp."

The extra called Thor perked up and answered loudly, "Yes, General." He walked up to Leilos, played by Wei Bin, and thought happily that this was a blessing in disguise.

Although the lines were a bit less, the screen time was several times more, so it was a real win!!

He helped Lei Luosi, played by Wei Bing, to his feet, but failed several times. The extras frowned, grabbed Wei Bing's arm with a little force, and whispered, "Actor Wei, it's time to get up."

"hiss!"

Wei Bing's handsome face twisted in pain. In order not to make a fool of himself, he struggled to stand up.

The extra immediately made a checking gesture while projecting his face into the camera. After a while, he turned around and answered loudly.

"General, he is indeed a low-level alien and poses no threat."

"Very good." Lilitana raised the corner of her lips slightly. "New recruit, I am the chief commander of the Seventh Legion - Lilitana. From now on, you will be a soldier of my Seventh Legion's new recruit camp. Train hard to change your destiny."

Finished.

Lilitana stood up and made a move to leave.

Off the court.

Li Angsi called out "Cut," his eyes sparkling. "This part is also very good. Is it improvisation? Very good, Su Zhuo."

Su Zhuo walked out of the venue. Tang Xiaofeng handed her a glass of water. She took a sip before answering Li Angsi, "Yeah, I guess so."

"Your revision is very good. I've decided to use this version."

Wei Bin, who was supported by his agent, was in a trance. When he heard the two people talking, his whole body trembled and his face turned from black to white, which was particularly wonderful.

"Brother Wei, let's reshoot this shoot. It's not good for your image."

The agent helped Wei Bin sit down and whispered a suggestion.

Wei Bing's eyes trembled, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time, "I, I... don't... accept it."

He couldn't accept this shoot.

He wants to change.

————————

Before Wei Bing could ask for a reshoot, Li Angsi finalized this version and began setting up the stage for the next scene.

After receiving the news, Wei Bing immediately went to find Li Angsi, but was turned away again.

"Su Zhuo——"

Wei Bin gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with undisguised hatred, shocking his agent so much that he felt cold all over.

Just then, Pu Yaolian, who was late, came to the crew and greeted Wei Bin softly when she saw him.

"Brother Weibin."

Wei Bing quickly put away the twisted expression on his face and turned back, "Lianlian, you're here."

"Yeah, there was so much traffic that I was late. I wonder if the director is mad at me. Should I apologize? I hope I don't make things difficult for you, Brother Weibin."

Pu Yaolian said this with an innocent look on her face.

Wei Bin held her hand, trying hard to suppress his unpleasant expression, "Don't go. I've already told you that the director won't be angry. Let's go and rehearse our scenes."

"OK!"

Pu Yaolian readily agreed, but then suddenly looked worried: "But if you act opposite me, what will happen to the leading actress, Su Zhuo?"

"Don't worry about her!" When Wei Bing mentioned Su Zhuo, he recalled the humiliation he had just experienced, and a chill ran down his spine. "It's fine as long as we act together."

Pu Yaolian thought that Wei Bing was angry at Su Zhuo's poor acting skills, and she was very happy. When she passed by Su Zhuo's lounge, she deliberately made a sound that could be heard by others.

"Oh, Brother Weibin, I forgot to get the script. Can I get it and then we can act together?"

Wei Bing didn't notice Pu Yaolian's little thoughts. He nodded randomly and just wanted to go into the lounge immediately to avoid running into someone from Su Zhuo's side.

In the lounge.

When Tang Xiaofeng heard Pu Yaolian's artificial voice outside the door, he suddenly jumped up and wanted to rush out, but was held back by Su Zhuo.

Su Zhuo stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth.

"Don't be angry, it's embarrassing."

"But they are both so disgusting. With Wei Bing's acting skills, who would want to act opposite him?" Tang Xiaofeng said angrily with puffed cheeks.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Su Zhuo echoed, "With his acting skills, I'm afraid his acting will decline after he plays against me. I still prefer to act opposite my Xiaotang. He's full of practical skills."

"Hehehe, it's not that good." Tang Xiaofeng was instantly appeased. She coughed twice, picked up the scripts, stuffed one into Su Zhuo's hand, and opened the other herself. "Then let's discuss it again?"

Su Zhuo's eyes were doting, "Okay."

The makeup artists around were so excited when they saw this scene, "Wow, Su Shen really dotes on her agent, right?"

"It feels like a domineering female general and her little henchmen."

"Here's the pen. You write the script."

"Hahahaha I don't dare. I'm afraid of getting beaten up by the director."

…………

Crew office.

Li Angsi was watching the two scenes he had just filmed over and over again. Without even looking up, he said, "The actress playing the second female lead is here? I thought she was planning to come back after filming started."

Li Li sat across from him, crossing her long legs and rolling her eyes elegantly. "She's almost two hours late, which is outrageous, okay?"

"Don't be unhappy, sister. Have you read the email I sent you?"

"I saw it. It's a nice place. The scenery looks great, and there are many places suitable for filming. Where is it? I don't remember it."

Li Li asked with interest.

Li Ansi raised his head and smiled slyly, "It's what I saw from my grandfather. It's a small secluded country located in the gap of the Asian plate - the Amazon Lily Country."

"For the battlefield scenes this time, I want to use real locations."
