Chapter 276: Stunning Skills
"What kind of scene is this?"
Xia Lili lowered her voice and asked Mingzhou.
"Your brother plays a mysterious oriental zither player," Ming Zhou explained softly. "This is the scene where he uses his hearing to identify the enemy's position."
Xia Xubai, who was sitting on the armchair, suddenly tilted his ear, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes.
The sound of wind chimes specially arranged on the set rang out. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and the folding fan in his hand flew out suddenly, accurately hitting the wind chimes hanging in the corner of the studio.
There was a sudden burst of exclamations at the scene.
What is even more amazing is the following literary drama.
Xia Xubai walked slowly towards the antique piano table, his clothes fluttering like a banished immortal.
He stroked the strings with his fingertips, and although he was a little hesitant because of his blindness, he unexpectedly gave the character a fragile and noble temperament.
In the last close-up shot, he raised his eyes and "looked" into the distance. His unfocused fox eyes were filled with incomprehensible emotions.
"Cut! It's perfect!" the director couldn't help but praise.
Xia Xubai, supported by his assistant, came to the rest area. He took the warm water from his sister and raised the corner of his lips in a familiar arc: "How is it? Did your brother embarrass you just now?"
Xia Lili was about to answer when the translator rushed over: "Teacher Xia, the director said that the shot of you playing the piano just now might be used in the movie trailer!"
While the brother and sister were chatting and laughing, a new scene had been set up in the center of the set.
Ming Zhou leaned over and whispered a spoiler: "Next up is the fight scene between the hero, Roland, and the villain. That guy went to Wudang Mountain and studied Tai Chi for three months just for this role."
As the director shouted "Action", the blond and blue-eyed Roland jumped down from the second floor with a somersault. When he landed, his white shirt was blown up by the wind, like a crane spreading its wings.
The villain attacked with a knife, he dodged sideways, turned his right palm into a fist, and performed a set of smooth Tai Chi that forced the opponent to retreat again and again.
The most exciting part was the last move of using the opponent's force to counter his opponent's force. Roland followed the opponent's momentum and threw him over his shoulder. The whole move was done in one go.
Just as Xia Lili was admiring Roland's smooth martial arts moves, her sharp eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of something strange.
A cold light that shouldn't be there was reflected from the metal prop hanging around the male protagonist's waist.
The light vibrated slightly at a specific frequency and was definitely not the natural light reflected by an ordinary mirror.
Xia Lili's pupils suddenly contracted, and her super dynamic vision immediately locked onto the direction of the light source.
Next to the equipment box in the distance, a "field attendant" wearing a black baseball cap was squatting in an extremely professional posture.
Ordinary people would not notice that his left hand holding the walkie-talkie was too deliberate.
His thumb was always pressed on a hidden button, and his right hand seemed to hang naturally at his side, but in fact it would shake slightly every three seconds.
What's even more suspicious is that the ID strap hanging around his neck is thicker than normal, and a hair-thin metal wire can be vaguely seen under the fabric.
Xia Lili immediately narrowed her eyes.
"There's a cameraman! Catch him!"
Her shout cut through the noise on the set.
The man reacted extremely quickly and jumped up almost the moment she spoke.
His escape posture was well-trained - always keeping his center of gravity low, and each step precisely avoiding the cables on the ground. It was obvious that he knew the layout of the set very well.
When the security personnel surrounded him from the front, he rolled over the prop box with a neat sideways movement, and his movements were so agile that he didn't seem like an ordinary staff member at all.
"Stop the guy wearing the black hat!" Xia Lili shouted as he chased, his eyes locked on the target like an eagle.
She rushed to the prop rack and picked up an aluminum alloy telescopic baton used in martial arts scenes.
Xia Lili's pupils shrank slightly, and with her excellent eyesight, she instantly calculated the best throwing angle.
During special training at the bureau, her throwing results were always among the best.
She pulled her right arm back, exerted force from her waist and abdomen, and the baton shot out like an arrow from a bowstring.
“Whoosh!”
The aluminum alloy baton accurately hit the voyeur's calf, making a crisp impact sound.
The man stumbled and fell to one knee. Xia Lili seized the opportunity and rushed forward in two steps.
Her slender figure drew a sharp arc in the air, and with a beautiful sweep of her right leg, she knocked the peeper down directly.
Before the opponent could react, she had already completed a set of clean and neat grappling moves.
He locked the throat with his right hand and pressed the back with his left knee, pinning the thief to the ground.
The whole movement was smooth and flowing, without any superfluousness.
The security personnel on the set arrived at this time and subdued the voyeur with great effort.
The scene was completely silent, and everyone was shocked by this sudden turn of events.
The mineral water bottle in the hand of the male lead Roland fell to the ground with a "bang", and the director's script was scattered all over the floor.
The oriental girl who had just stood quietly beside Teacher Xia now exuded a suffocating and sharp aura.
"Oh my God," Roland exclaimed, "This is even more professional than the fight scenes we filmed."
The bodyguard found a sophisticated miniature camera from the peeping Tom's inner pocket.
It's only the size of a button, but is cleverly disguised as a walkie-talkie accessory.
The technician quickly took out the memory chip and connected it to a computer, and the screen displayed the scene just shot.
“He got the key scene!”
The director stared at the screen with a grim expression, feeling as if he had just survived a catastrophe. "This person must be the mastermind behind the recent spate of voyeuristic filming on various film sets."
At this point, filming had already been terminated due to this accident.
The movie's male protagonist, Roland, looked at Xia Lili in amazement: "Amazing! Miss, how did you find out?"
Xia Lili replied succinctly, "When I was observing your fight scene just now, I noticed an unusual reflection on the metal prop around your waist."
Everyone's eyes turned to the metal prop on Roland's waist that he had just used.
"This, can actually be seen clearly?"
"This observation ability is too strong!"
…
Xia Lili smiled calmly: "I work in security consulting in Longguo. My professional habits make me pay more attention to details."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that the petite girl in front of them would be engaged in such a mysterious and highly dangerous job.
However, when they thought of Xia Lili's skills just now, they immediately understood Xia Lili's confidence.
The director, who had recovered from his shock, excitedly walked up to Xia Lili and said, "Miss Xia, you helped us catch the members of this voyeurism ring. This is so important!"
"You are fully eligible to receive the $600,000 reward offered by the Film Association."
The director was extremely glad that he was the lucky one whose secretly filmed footage had not been leaked, and he was full of gratitude to Xia Lili.
"I have already notified the police and the association's top management, and they are on their way."
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued, "Recently, major film sets have frequently encountered incidents of voyeurism, but the mastermind behind the scenes has never been caught."
"Thanks to you today, we finally see hope and don't have to worry anymore."
