Chapter 46 Scoring twice
"So, how did the knife break?"
The more Chengzi thought about it, the more curious he became. He wanted to grab Shu Ming and shake him hard to get the answer out of him.
"It's really a coincidence—"
Shu Ming broke out in a thin layer of sweat. He pulled off the towel from his neck and wiped his face with it.
I feel like a "master of distraction" at this moment.
How! Can! People!?
While listening to the online class, climbing the treadmill, and answering Orange's questions at the same time.
The teaching network is really difficult to use.
He got off the treadmill in frustration and tapped the tablet angrily.
Humph! Okay, that’s all for today’s lesson!
Shu Ming was the only one in the entire gym at the moment. Guan Xianyi was leaning on a chair nearby, shoveling vegetable salad into his mouth intermittently.
Seeing Shu Ming get off the treadmill by himself, he looked up and asked him, "What did Rong Ankang say to you yesterday?"
She didn't ask how Shu Ming's knife broke.
What she cared about more was why Rong Ankang suddenly thought of looking for Shu Ming?
Just for a broken knife?
"Nothing much. They asked about the roles I had played before and whether I could ride a horse or do archery."
Shu Ming took the cup of water handed to him by Orange, held the straw in his mouth and took a big sip.
He still does vocal exercises every day as usual, and always has a sippy cup at hand.
Guan Xianyi frowned and tried to recall: "Did you learn this in Zheng Yiwei's group?"
"Well, I have no problem riding a horse or shooting arrows, don't worry."
Not to mention horse riding and archery.
Even if Shu Ming were to ride a horse and shoot arrows right now, it would probably not be difficult for him.
Guan Xianyi had a basic understanding of the situation, and after giving a few more reminders like "Don't hurt yourself", he hurried away.
Shu Ming watched the man leave, and when he turned around, he was suddenly met with Chengzi's "thirsty" eyes.
I was so scared!
Chengzi didn't say anything, just blinked and stared at Shu Ming - was it really a coincidence? Was it really such a coincidence?
However, the boy just smiled at Chengzi, lowered his long, straight eyelashes, and changed the subject: "...Sister Chengzi, where did you put my black hairband?"
In fact, if you say this is a coincidence or luck, it is indeed a coincidence and luck.
Shu Ming didn't expect that the knife would break so quickly——
"Chang'an Embers" is adapted from a true historical story. [1]
Therefore, although Shu Ming did not get the complete script, after knowing who he was going to play, he had a general idea of the role in his mind.
The young general Zhu Zhen was born with supernatural powers and was good at using a long sword with a ring handle.
It is said that when he was young, he was able to pull a huge bow weighing two stones for the first time, and he became famous in the capital.
At the age of Wu Xiang, he had already led troops into battle independently. Not only did he sweep through the enemy with his sword, but he also shot down the enemy's head with a single arrow, thus leaving his name in history.
It’s a pity that his death was… not dignified.
Shu Ming had no idea what Director Rong was thinking, or what his style and behavior were.
But a director who is rumored to be "upright" and has pursued the art of film all his life is faced with an actor who suddenly appears and fits the rare characteristics of the role.
Are you curious? Is there any chance that we can meet?
Shu Ming wasn't sure, but after all, it was just a knife.
Even if Rong Ankang remained motionless and was genuinely not interested - it was over, and at most everyone would laugh at him for a while, and then it would be over.
Anyway, considering his age, he is considered a young actor in the group, so it’s a bit embarrassing. But how should I put it, it’s actually not a bad thing.
So, where do all the coincidences come from?
Orange is a naive person, but the others are not.
Outsiders can't see any clues, but they stay with Shu Ming every day, so how can they not see anything at all?
What's more, Shu Ming's expression just now almost hinted at Orange!
In the end, Tang Mishuang relented and answered Chengzi's questions while editing the materials.
"I remember... Xiao Shu can use a knife, right? I saw him on the stage of 'Election 1'. I saw it online at that time."
Thinking about that stage now, and the astonishing popularity and discussion that summer, Tang Mi Shuang still has to sigh sincerely - Shu Ming's double sword performance was really beautiful!
Zhuang Zheng, who was learning how to use a camera with Tang Mi, hummed, confirming her statement: "Xiao Shu is used to using a knife."
Shu Ming is used to using a knife, and he has very good physical fitness and amazing athletic ability.
I'm afraid he also has extraordinary wrist and arm strength.
Tang Mishuang didn't believe that the knife broke without Shu Ming's intention!
"Plus..."
Speaking of this, even Tang Mi Shuang couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Chengzi is not much older than Shu Ming, but she is much older than Shu Ming.
Every time she saw Shu Ming calling her "Mi Shuang Jie" obediently, she felt like she was looking at her own child.
Shu Ming was the first to go to training every day and the last to leave. She was covered in scars, and her work ethic was as high as, if not more so than, any of the artists she had coached before.
"Xiao Shu is quite hardworking. I saw his knife up close when I was shooting footage the other day."
"The blade is covered with notches from his practice. Isn't it normal for a larger notch to break when it hits a rock?"
There are not so many coincidences!
It was all Shu Ming's hard work, with a little extra ingenuity -
If Shu Ming hadn't tried so hard, if Shu Ming hadn't mastered a few fewer skills, he wouldn't have been able to carry out this "coincidence" so perfectly!
If other artists were to come up with this idea, could they really implement it?
But because this wasn't his own company, Tang Mishuang was afraid of being overheard, so he could only stop here.
I don't know if Orange understood...
On the other side, Shu Ming had already come out of the dressing room. With a black belt pushing back his hair, he looked so handsome and clean.
The refreshing version of Shu Xiaoming carried the water cup on his own and walked to the door and called out crisply: "Sister Chengzi, let's go. We have a big exam today."
Director Rong's Wu Xun has a rule that is well known in the industry - a small test every Monday and a big test every month.
Yes, the biggest coincidence is that Shu Ming never thought that the knife would break so quickly!
He carefully examined the condition of the knife and thought it would break only after the big test.
Just two days difference!
So upset.
In fact, with the results of the major exam as a foundation, seeing Coach Rong again should be more effective.
But forget it, it’s fate.
Shu Ming cleared his mind and walked briskly towards the training camp.
This kid is tall enough and has a good figure. Even though it is still very cold in March and his clothes are a bit cumbersome, you can still tell that he is thin and tall.
It makes people look at him again and again - how could such a thin guy break the knife with such great strength?
Orange followed behind him and felt uncomfortable being stared at.
Shu Ming was calm and composed. His reputation had spread so widely in recent days that so many people were looking at him!
Just look at it, it won’t hurt you if someone looks at you a few more times.
It only proves that he has indeed become famous in the crew this time!
Only occasionally when he met one or two people looking at him too intensely, he would look back shyly and smile.
The person on the other side also tactfully withdrew his gaze.
But the surprise was yet to come - when they arrived at the camp, even someone as calm as Shu Ming was shocked!
Wow, so many people!
What happened? Why are you all here to watch the fun?
The confused Shu Ming never thought that the crowds of people who came to watch were all here to see him!
**
It’s really hard to imagine who the culprit is - who else could it be other than Rong Ankang?
Director Rong's sudden visit to watch Wu Xun's assessment, coupled with Shu Ming's "rumors" flying around in the past two days, created this spectacular scene!
The crowd was so dense that even Shu Ming, the real person, couldn't squeeze in for a long time!
Until someone shouted, "Shu Ming is here!"
The crowd suddenly made way for a path like Moses parting the sea.
What does it feel like to be stared at by dozens of eyes?
Shu Ming: Don’t cue me, it’s a bit too much attention.
He was stunned for a moment, then walked through the middle of the passage with confidence.
When he was standing in the middle of the venue, someone next to him handed him a knife, but Shu Ming shook his head and refused.
"Wait a minute." He showed his little fangs and answered loudly, making sure everyone could hear, "Let me take off my clothes first."
There was a burst of laughter.
Someone started to make noises: "Take it off quickly, we are all waiting for you!"
The assistant director who had come to watch the fun actually nudged him with his elbow and said, "Hey, this guy's voice is quite correct, and his line skills are pretty good."
The pronunciation is very accurate, the voice is clear and bright, and it really has the spirited flavor of the young general Zhu Zhen!
Being stared at by so many people, Shu Ming moved quickly but not in a panic.
It’s this kid—he’s wearing too much!
A down jacket, a scarf, then a vest, a sweater, and a single piece of clothing... Finally, Shu Ming stretched out his arms to cover his head and took them off, revealing a short-sleeved shirt.
After taking off my clothes, even my cheeks turned a little red!
Nowadays, young people all care about appearances rather than manners. It is rare to find someone like him who dresses so honestly and obediently.
It's really cute and funny.
Shu Ming was almost dizzy from taking off his clothes, and before he could even stand still, the martial arts instructor had already thrown a knife towards him.
Shu Ming had already grasped the knife by the way it had become muscle memory. He stretched out his hand and grasped it easily, and the knife fell steadily into his palm.
As the saying goes, an expert can tell whether something is good or not with just one look.
Someone finally looked him in the eye—this guy really knows how to use a knife!
Amidst everyone's discussions, Shu Ming looked down and saw that it was not the knife he usually used for training.
Never mind, it doesn’t matter.
The martial arts instructor teased him: "Xiao Shu, are you nervous?"
Shu Ming's face was still red from being scratched by his clothes, and he answered obediently, "Nervous."
In a flash, before the two men could finish their words, their blades suddenly met.
The onlookers exclaimed!
Wu Xun did not really fight, each of his moves was carefully designed, and naturally possessed both beauty and power - but there were only a few like Shu Ming.
He really put in some effort and hit really hard!
Even the sound of the blade breaking through the air can be heard clearly!
It is enough to show that this kid has solid basic skills and excellent arm and wrist strength.
The fighting scenes are naturally designed by the martial arts director.
To put it bluntly, anyone who comes into contact with an actor with Shu Ming's physical fitness can't help but get excited.
This child never complains no matter how we treat him, and more importantly, it always works!
He really wanted to add all his showmanship to the
This time we can see the clues for the first time!
Not to mention the conventional sword flowers and hand flips, Shu Ming can also occasionally insert a few somersaults and chops, which are clean, neat and smooth.
Every punch hits the flesh, every knife is fatal, it feels so good that your pores will open!
It was stable and beautiful, and the whole audience applauded!
Assistant director Hao Ning nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining.
This kid has a bright future - this temperament, this fighting scene, this kind of solidity that only veteran martial arts stars of the previous era have, is unique in the entire domestic entertainment industry!
Ten years, no, within twenty years.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to have such a feeling again.
You know, in this age of traffic and fast-paced pursuits, how many people can calm down and practice basic kung fu? I'm afraid it's very rare.
Not only that, skinny young men are also popular now, with arms and legs thinner than chopsticks. Not to mention wielding swords and guns, they can't even lift an 80-pound actress.
Fighting scenes? Humph, that's like beating cotton, so soft and fluffy, all thanks to special effects.
It had been a long time since Hao Ning had seen such an excellent fighting scene with solid basic skills. He felt like his eyes were cleansed and his heart was refreshed.
Young actors with the buff of martial arts are a rare resource!
The cool feeling brought by real swords, real guns and real things will definitely be more shocking when put on the big screen!
By then, it would not be an exaggeration to say that there will be no meal replacements on the entire Internet.
Hao Ning touched it and tasted something, which confirmed his previous idea.
This guy is so rare that he can't be more rare!
He was still deep in thought when he heard a "bang" from the other side.
Shu Ming never imagined this in his dreams.
Even when the big test was approaching, he was able to score twice.
Why did this knife break again?
No, the blade didn't break this time, but he used too much force and the connection with the handle broke!
Shu Ming subconsciously reached out to grab it - no, it's unfair, this is a real coincidence!
Perhaps it was because the astonishment on Shu Ming's face was too obvious, or perhaps it was because the "second broken sword" was too dramatic, which made everyone around him laugh.
It's rare to hear such a burst of laughter in the crew. If you record it, you can put it directly into a comedy as background music!
Even Rong Ankang had a subtle smile on his face in this atmosphere, and his stern expression relaxed a little.
He reached out and patted the prop team standing beside him: "Okay, give him a good knife."
"I'll pay for it on my private account."
**
No one expected that the first hot search before the filming of "Chang'an Ashes" would be dedicated to Shu Ming!
If not many people had witnessed the previous Broken Blade, everyone would still be making fun of it as if it were a rumor.
This time, the broken knife in public completely solidified Shu Ming's reputation and made the kid the center of attention in the crew.
Everyone knew Shu Ming thoroughly. Whenever he passed by different locations of the crew, people would reach out to greet him. He was truly a "big shot."
If you don’t know, you might think some big shot has come!
In the nanny car, the eldest brother was still applying medicine to Shu Ming's palm.
Guan Xianyi leaned aside with his arms folded: "Come on, why are you so reckless?"
In order to prevent the blade from flying out and accidentally hurting others, the boy's first reaction was to catch it with his hands!
There was enough open space around and no one could be hurt. Well, in the end, he was the only one who was injured.
There was a bloody wound on the palm!
What’s even more hateful is that this guy pretended to be fine at first, and was only discovered when blood was dripping down.
Everyone was scared to death and almost rushed to the hospital!
Now you are behaved, you have been on several trending searches!
Shu Ming grumbled in dissatisfaction and retorted, "I didn't expect it to break like this..."
"Ouch, Sister Xianyi! Stop twisting my ears! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
Shu Ming cried out in pain several times, tears blurred in his eyes, and then he quietly admitted his mistake: "I was wrong. I will think carefully before I act next time."
Looking at his pitiful little appearance, Guan Xianyi sighed and shamefully softened his heart.
Okay, these are our own children.
Besides, the injury is already there.
She rubbed Shu Ming's head. Now that he was over thirty, a fighting spirit inexplicably ignited in his heart.
The artists have worked so hard, and it would be unreasonable for her, as their agent, not to step up.
Although he is injured, the child cannot suffer this injury in vain!
The frequent accidents were caused by the poor quality of the crew's props. Shu Ming was also injured for the safety of the onlookers.
If she doesn't bite off a piece of meat from the crew this time, she won't be named Guan anymore!

The author has something to say: Sometimes, humor is a kind of helplessness.
It is the courage to face adversity.
