Chapter 20 Yelü Qi defends the city and protects his wife!
Hengdian World Studios.
The cast and crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
"Match 39, 4th time, Action!"
As the clapperboard fell, Xu Lang instantly got into character.
At this moment, he was no longer the man who could easily juggle multiple girls, but Yelü Qi, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, who was trapped in Xiangyang City.
The Mongol army pressed in, and war raged across the land.
Dressed in ancient costume stained with blood, she stood before the broken battlements, holding a long spear, with the Beggars' Sect disciples struggling to hold on behind her.
"Brother Yelü, we have too many enemies."
The extras playing members of the Beggars' Sect screamed.
Yelü Qi did not turn around; his gaze was piercing as he surveyed the enemy army. His voice was calm and resolute:
"We must defend it even if we can't. Hero Guo has entrusted the safety of Xiangyang to me. I, Yelü Qi, swear today to live and die with the city walls."
His delivery of lines was extremely solid, every word clear and powerful, penetrating the noisy environment on set.
This scene perfectly captures the tragic grandeur of Yelü Qi's actions, knowing full well that the task was futile, making it seem as if he truly was Yelü Qi transported back to ancient times, facing an overwhelming army.
"Cut! Great! Get ready for the next shot, Guo Fu goes up the city wall!"
Mao Xiaotong, who plays Guo Fu, runs up the city wall with a long sword in her hand, full of anticipation.
The next scene shows him surrounded, fighting bravely without retreating, and ultimately being seriously injured while saving Guo Fu.
"Action!"
With a sinister grin, the Mongolian expert Huo Du leaped forward, aiming straight for Guo Fu's life.
Yelü Qi's eyes narrowed, and his spear moved like a dragon, just like a soldier guarding his country, blocking Huo Du's attack.
"Fu-mei, step back!"
His tone was urgent but not flustered, and every martial arts move was clean and crisp.
They brandished long spears, displaying a variety of techniques.
Before filming began, the action director provided him with corresponding guidance on the essentials of blocking, parrying, thrusting, sweeping, and other movements.
He demonstrated all of this in the fight!
The action director watched the fight from the sidelines, and was particularly pleased with Xu Lang's beautiful spear movements.
Good lad, you get it right away, your comprehension is amazing; your physical expression in the action scenes is superb, you're a promising talent.
Guo Fu is clearly much more mature than she was in the early part of the story. Faced with the emergency, she is both anxious and afraid.
"Brother Qi, watch out for his poisoned needles!"
Before he could finish speaking, Huo Du feinted an attack, then launched three bone-piercing nails straight at Guo Fu's face.
"Be careful!"
Yelü Qi almost instinctively lunged to the side, shielding Guo Fu behind him. At the same time, his spear spun around, knocking away two poisoned needles with two loud bangs.
But the third one...
puff!
The poisoned needle pierced Yelü Qi's shoulder, causing the blood pack that had been hidden there to burst open. His body shuddered, he gritted his teeth, and a subtle ferocity appeared on his face as he knelt on one knee.
But he used his spear to brace himself against the ground, firmly protecting Guo Fu behind him.
The timing, angle, and reactions throughout the entire process were extremely precise. The director behind the monitor gradually relaxed his tense nerves and nodded frequently.
That's real acting!
Even the slightest movements can be captured accurately and performed precisely.
"Huo Du!" Yelü Qi gritted his teeth, raised his head, a trace of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and spoke resolutely:
"If you want to hurt my wife, you'll have to step over my dead body first."
Upon hearing this!
Guo Fu's eyes were really red.
It's unclear whether Guo Fu in the drama was simply following the plot, or whether Mao Xiaotong herself was influenced by it.
This envy seems to have three parts acting and four parts genuine sincerity.
It's so confusing!
Director Lee Hye-joo, behind the monitor, couldn't help but clench her fist:
"Okay, that's the feeling! Xiaotong is in great shape!"
Yu Zheng, standing next to him, also smiled, looking very satisfied. It wasn't Mao Xiaotong, but Xu Lang.
He saw that Xu Lang had enormous potential and that he would definitely have a place in the future of the Chinese entertainment industry.
I just can't get the contract signed, and I'm really unwilling to give up.
Next week, Xu Lang will finish filming his scenes in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and will seamlessly transition to filming another drama series.
Yang Mi did not directly terminate the agency contract, but instead used acting to bind him and then slowly wear him down.
He needed to talk to Xu Lang one more time before Xu Lang finished filming.
The gaze remained fixed on Xu Lang, who was engrossed in filming.
Holding his spear, he remained steadfast in his defense of the city despite his severe injuries, pushing the sense of tragic heroism to a new climax.
Until Yang Guo descended from the sky and single-handedly turned the tide, saving Xiangyang from fire and water.
He breathed a sigh of relief, his breathing became heavier and heavier, and finally he could no longer hold on and collapsed.
Guo Fu spread out the money, hugged him, tears welling up in her eyes, her voice trembling with sobs:
"Brother Qi, Brother Qi, don't scare me!"
Amidst this sobbing, the director's voice rang out—
"Cut!"
The director raised his hand, a satisfied smile spreading across his face:
"Excellent, one take!"
There was thunderous applause.
Several assistant directors and staff members were whispering among themselves, discussing the acting skills of the actors in this scene, and all of them gave it a thumbs up.
"Xu Lang's portrayal of Yelü Qi truly brought this tragic emotion to life; it was absolutely brilliant!"
"So handsome and dashing! This Yelü Qi is much more captivating than previous versions!"
"I was completely captivated by the couple Yelü Qi and Guo Fu; their genuine emotions made me not want to act at all..."
"Hehe, the whole crew knows about their affair. I'd estimate it's 90% true and only 10% acting!"
The tragic scene moved many people.
They even became completely absorbed in it.
Mao Xiaotong knelt in the set, holding the "unconscious" Xu Lang, tears streaming down her face, still caught up in the drama.
Xu Lang struggled to get out of her arms, and she realized that the play was over. She blushed and hurriedly separated from him.
Xu Lang took the tissues her assistant handed him and wiped away her tears, jokingly saying:
"Sister Xiaotong, you're really into your role!"
They helped her up.
"It's all because your acting was too realistic!" Mao Xiaotong muttered softly, her heart still pounding.
The heart-wrenching feeling she had when Xu Lang collapsed in her arms just now was so real.
Director Lee Hye-joo waved to the two of them, and they walked quickly towards her.
"You guys are all in excellent form today, take a look at yourselves!"
The two watched the performance on the monitor. It was very realistic, especially Mao Xiaotong's emotions, which were completely brought to life and didn't seem like acting at all.
"I'd like to shoot a few more close-ups, like you guys were in earlier, is that alright?"
Xu Lang and Mao Xiaotong exchanged glances and said in unison:
"Can!"
The two quickly returned to their original positions and got back into the zone.
The monitor director, Lee Hye-joo, was very satisfied and asked the assistant director to shoot a few more takes.
Filming is proceeding at a rapid pace...
The filming continued until dusk.
Xu Lang removed her makeup and returned to the rest area.
Several more messages from Bai Mengyan appeared on my phone:
"I saw Yu Zheng's spoilers on Weibo, your look is so handsome! [Screenshot]"
"When will it air? I'll get all my relatives and friends to watch it together, and we'll boost the ratings!"
"Xu Lang, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget me! Remember to latch onto your sisters when you're famous!"
Xu Lang's lips curled slightly, and his fingers danced in response:
"If you want to curry favor with someone, you have to let me see their legs first!"
One minute has passed!
Bai Mengyan did not reply, and Xu Lang assumed she hadn't seen the message, so he put his phone down.
A message immediately popped up.
It's an image developed by Bai Meng. Click on it to take a look.
A photo loads instantly.
In the picture, a pair of long, shapely, fair and dazzling legs almost fill the entire screen.
