Chapter 9
Chapter 9
"Forty Acts, Scene Seven, One Take!"
The lighting technicians and cameramen quickly took their positions.
As the words fell, the two people in the center of the set quickly got into the mood—
"This Qingpo Pill is the most precious treasure of your Yuqing Sect. It is said that it can save the remaining one of the three souls and seven spirits. Are you really going to give it to me?" Yue Li wiped the blood from the corner of her lips with her hand and asked doubtfully.
She had several shoulder wounds, some of which were so deep that the bones were visible, and blood was dripping. Her right hand holding the sword hung on the ground, trembling slightly uncontrollably, and the sword was humming, which was a sign that her spiritual power was about to be exhausted.
Qingyao smiled indifferently, as if she didn't know how rare the treasure she was giving away was.
"Brother Lingxiao...after being expelled from the Immortal Sect, he suffered seventy-seven forty-nine lightning tribulations...If you take this Soul Purification Pill back with you, it will save his life."
"You..." Yue Li was even more shocked after hearing the words of the Virgin Mary and was speechless for a moment.
Although Ling Xiao had never loved her, the person before him was his legitimate fiancée after all, and he...
"I know what you want to say, no need to say more." Qingyao smiled. The look in his eyes was a little complicated, but more of it was worry for his beloved: "Time is running out. If you go back a moment later, he will be in more danger."
Yueli: “…”
Qingyao: "Go back quickly. People from both the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm are looking for you. Don't leave him alone."
Yue Li's eyes changed several times, and she finally stood up with the help of her sword, whispering, "...Thank you."
Turning around to leave, Qingyao stopped him: "Wait——"
Qingyao turned her wrist, and quickly made a hand gesture with her slender fingers. A flash of light appeared at her fingertips, and in an instant it turned into a stream of light that shot towards Yueli's brow like lightning!
The radiance was so fierce and unexpected that Yue Li had no time to draw her sword. She could only urgently mobilize her spiritual power to block it: "!"
However, he found that the beam of light did not attack him, but turned into a gentle force and penetrated into his consciousness.
She closed her eyes and felt it for a while, not quite understanding it, and asked Qingyao: "What is this?"
Qingyao: "This is a technique I created myself. It can clear the spiritual meridians and alleviate the pain caused by the mixture of immortal and demonic energy in your body."
Yuqing Sect is the top healing sect in the fairy world, and Qingyao is the leader among the younger generation of the sect. She had a look of pride on her face.
"Okay." Yueli took the cool jade bottle into her arms and looked at Qingyao deeply. "I will remember your kindness today and will definitely repay you one day."
......
"Cut! Very good, passed in one take!" The director couldn't help but applaud spontaneously.
Before he could finish his words, the staff rushed forward and surrounded Jiang Wantong.
Cheng Cheng quickly stepped back, afraid of being hit.
People came up to hold parasols, put on makeup, serve coffee, and move stools. There was even a strong male assistant who pulled the air outlet of a mobile air conditioner over and adjusted the distance to a level that was neither too far nor too close so that the air could flow in cold air without catching a cold.
In contrast, Cheng Cheng, who earns his living by himself and buys a 19.9 handheld fan from Taobao, said: "......"
There wasn't even a handheld fan nearby, only a palm-leaf fan she'd grabbed from the props department: "..."
"Why do I feel a little cold?" Xiao Xia looked up at the sky.
"Is it desolate?" Cheng Cheng looked down at the ground.
"How about this..." Xiao Xia wanted to help Cheng Cheng get back on his feet, so she came up with an idea: "How about I hire two people for you? Extras are cheap here."
Cheng Cheng: "...Stay away from me, I'm afraid my mental retardation will be contagious."
Xiao Xia pouted her apple face and acted like a spoiled child: "Hey sister, it's hot out, so I told you a joke to cool you down. I'm so considerate, but you don't appreciate it."
"Cheng Cheng—" Miao Hongzhi called to her from a distance with a loud speaker, "Jiang Wantong, both of you come over here and take a look. If everything is ok, this one will be approved."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Cheng and Jiang Wantong came to the monitor and reviewed the footage they had just filmed.
...After the playback, the director took off his headphones and said with a satisfied look: "No objections, right? If you don't have any objections, let's go to the next one--"
"Director," Jiang Wantong frowned and interrupted him, "There's something wrong with the lighting."
"What's the problem?" the director wondered.
Jiang Wantong's eyes sparkled as she pointed to the 1:55 mark: "Here, look at what I look like in this photo. Not only is the angle bad, but I also look dark."
Cheng Cheng thought: You are dark-skinned, how can you say it is obvious?
Miao Hongzhi showed some helplessness and could only advise: "Little ancestor, you are just a distant view here, you can't see clearly at all."
"No." Jiang Wantong insisted on reshooting.
In the end, Miao Hongzhi compromised.
Even though Cheng Cheng cooperated without complaint during the reshoot, Jiang Wantong still didn't look kindly towards her.
There is a night show tonight, which is performed by Jiang Wantong, Zhang Weizi and Cheng Cheng.
After finishing work in the afternoon, Cheng Cheng did not return to the hotel, but rested in the RV.
The RV provided by the company is fully equipped with a refrigerator, TV, sofa, and even a built-in microwave and oven.
Cheng Cheng was resting on the small sofa when Xiao Xia came in with some barbecue takeout.
"What a sin." Xiao Xia drooled and sighed all day long.
"If Sister Qing knew that I not only didn't watch you lose weight but also helped you do evil, I would be in trouble." Xiao Xia unwrapped the tin foil wrapped around the barbecue skewers one by one.
Cheng Cheng: "Then do you want to eat it?"
"Eat." Xiao Xia said decisively.
"I just saw Jiang Wantong's assistant. She said someone is coming to visit us on set tonight." Xiao Xia suddenly remembered while biting the fragrant beef tendon.
"Who is it? Are you here to visit her?" Cheng Cheng asked casually while eating barbecue and watching short videos.
"He must be visiting her on set, otherwise her assistant wouldn't be so cocky, as if the visitor is of some importance." Xiao Xia curled her lips.
"Oh, I see." Cheng Cheng replied, her attention still on her phone. Ever since she last watched the abstract live broadcast, big data seemed to have retrieved her interests and always recommended such videos to her. Cheng Cheng was even a little addicted to watching them.
As for what Xiao Xia said about visiting the set, it wasn't her visit anyway, so no matter how powerful the person was, it had nothing to do with her.
The scene filmed at night was the one where Yueli and Lingxiao were surrounded in the demon world and Qingyao helped them escape.
Halfway through filming, the director suddenly called for a stop.
Cheng Cheng quickly sat down on a small stool to rest. This part was all her fighting scenes and she was almost exhausted.
She sat slumped and thought: Could it be that someone has come to visit the set?
As expected, the director and producer walked in front, enthusiastically leading a man over.
Today was an outdoor scene, and when a few people walked in and approached the lights, Cheng Cheng took a good look to see who they were.
She was so shocked that she almost jumped out of her chair.
No way? He was the one who came to visit Jiang Wantong on set?
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Xia saw Cheng Cheng sitting there fine, but suddenly started twitching, and asked in confusion.
She also bent down to check that there were no random wires on the ground.
Maybe he got an electric shock, thought the assistant with a strong sense of safety.
Cheng Cheng: "........It's okay, just saw a ghost."
Looking at Jiang Wantong, the woman indeed had a smug look on her face.
But.......
Cheng Cheng wondered: Why did the director keep winking at me?
If Cheng Cheng saw correctly, the director kept glancing at himself from time to time while introducing the crew to Zhou Yue.
Cheng Cheng had no feelings for Zhou Yue any longer, but seeing someone he hated being so smug made him feel uncomfortable.
Out of sight, out of mind, she simply moved the stool away.
Jiang Wantong misunderstood, thinking that the director was looking over here from time to time to let her go over.
Why is she so confident?
The reason was that today when she passed by the director's lounge, she accidentally heard the director on the phone saying that Zhou Yue was coming to visit the set, so she preconceived that the person was herself.
She had had fantasies as early as when she knew that Zhou Yue was going to make additional investments in the crew.
Although Zhou Yue's business empire is vast, he has never been involved in the entertainment industry before.
She happened to be the spokesperson for a mobile game under Galaxy Technology and had met Zhou Yue several times.
Zhou Yue's speech, manners, wisdom and status all met her standards for choosing a partner.
She was also very confident that Zhou Yue must know her, and even invested in this drama to attract her attention.
Since the other party took the initiative to visit the set, Jiang Wantong let go of her reserve as a female star and walked towards the director with ease.
......
Miao Hongzhi looked at someone who came uninvited.
What should I do if the person I want to call doesn’t come, and the person I don’t want to call comes by force?
Looking at Cheng Cheng again, that heartless guy, I don’t know when he sat together with Zhang Weizi. The two of them were sitting head to head, talking excitedly.
Miao Hongzhi didn't dare to look at Zhou Yue's expression beside him, he only felt the increasingly depressed atmosphere.
Zhou Yue found the two people standing close together already eye-catching, and Jiang Wantong came up to him to cause trouble.
"Mr. Zhou, this is the heroine of our "Nine Heavens and Mysterious Moon", Jiang Wantong." Since the person is here, Miao Hongzhi has to introduce her.
Jiang Wantong slightly raised the corners of her lips, revealing a reserved yet beautiful smile, then stretched out her hand with a smile on her lips: "We have met several times, I think Mr. Zhou should be familiar with me." Her eyes moved, containing infinite affection.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yue didn't even look at her, and all his love was wasted.
Zhou Yue frowned in confusion: How come this strange woman suddenly appeared and seemed to be very familiar with him?
While Zhou Yue was angry, he also looked at Cheng Cheng guiltily, worried about being misunderstood.
He then realized that Cheng Cheng wasn't even looking at him, which made him even angrier.
"Who are you?" Zhou Yue was in a bad mood and didn't want to be nice to anyone.
Jiang Wantong's face turned pale: "......"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yue was so disrespectful. She was stunned for a moment, forcing a smile, and could only introduce herself haltingly: "I am the spokesperson for 'Linjiang Song'. We have met several times..."
"Oh, hello." Zhou Yue nodded perfunctorily, then said to Miao Hongzhi, "Director Miao, I'm a little tired. Where is the lounge?"
In fact, I wanted to find an opportunity to meet Cheng Cheng alone.
Miao Hongzhi understood and quickly said, "It's nearby. I'll take you there—"
The two of them left quickly, and Jiang Wantong was left alone there. Although it was a hot summer, she felt like she was in an ice cellar.
While Jiang Wantong was suffering a heavy blow, Cheng Cheng and Zhang Weizi were happily practicing dancing in the corner.
Ever since he knew that Cheng Cheng was a dance major, Zhang Weizi had been talking about making a dance video with her.
The ten-second dance moves were too easy for Cheng Cheng; he learned them after watching them once.
But Zhang Weizi couldn't do it. It was clearly the dance he chose, but he still stumbled after dancing it several times.
Cheng Cheng said that he was addicted to being a loser.
Zhang Weizhi didn't get annoyed. He picked the best video and saved it, saying, "I'll post it on the day it goes live. It'll be a good time for promotion."
Although Cheng Cheng made fun of Zhang Weizi, he was grateful in his heart.
Because Zhang Weizi has more fans than me, he brought me along in his publicity and promotion, and I was actually riding on his popularity.
After recording the video, Cheng Cheng and Zhang Weizi looked up and saw that the director and Zhou Yue were gone.
Jiang Wantong is not here either.
Cheng Cheng waved to Xiao Xia.
Xiao Xia hurried over.
Cheng Cheng: "Where are they? Why is there no one here?"
Xiao Xia: "The director and Mr. Zhou left. After a while, Jiang Wantong left too." Xiao Xia added softly, "She looked very unhappy when she left. Her face was very bad. She went to rest in the RV."
