The big shot is trending on social media every day.

Chapter 63 Who Can Go Higher and Further?

Chu Linfeng walked back to Grandpa Yu's ward, looking distracted.

Chu Yan couldn't stand staying in the ward any longer, so she came out.

"Brother, let's go back." Chu Yan walked a few steps to him.

Chu Linfeng snapped out of his daze: "Why don't you spend more time with Grandpa Yu?"

Chu Yan clutched her bag tightly, forcing a smile: "Grandpa Yu said he wants to rest and told us to go back."

No one thought she had done anything wrong by framing Jiang Li.

They also knew that she had close ties with Zhongzhou and would definitely turn things around.

Although Grandpa Yu didn't speak harshly to her, he also didn't show much emotion, unlike how close he was to Jiang Li.

It was as if she were a complete stranger.

Since that's the case, there's no need for her to try and win over a cold shoulder.

Grandpa Yu thinks Jiang Li is good, so let's see who can go further and achieve more.

Chu Linfeng escorted Chu Yan home, remaining silent the entire way.

Chu Yan felt something was wrong and looked at him: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Chu Linfeng had calmed down.

It seems Qin Yexiao got involved in Chu Yan's matter, so neither his nor Yu Xuanchen's names mattered.

Chu Linfeng parked the car in front of the Chu Mansion and reiterated in a more emphasizing tone, "Yan Yan, stay away from Li Li from now on, and don't provoke her again."

Chu Yan's face suddenly darkened, and without saying a word, she got out of the car.

After taking two steps, she turned her head and stared coldly at Chu Linfeng: "Brother, do you also think that Jiang Li has turned the tables and can now dominate me?"

Chu Linfeng frowned.

Chu Yan sneered, "You underestimate your sister too much."

After saying that, she turned and went into the Chu Mansion.

Chu Linfeng sighed helplessly, but he couldn't worry about Chu Yan right now.

He needs to find an opportunity to have a proper talk with Jiang Li about this.

Tell her not to get too close to that person from the Qin family just to become famous.

They couldn't afford to offend such a powerful family; one wrong move and they could implicate the entire Chu family.

……

The cast and crew of "Like a Dream".

The character Jiu Huo has the most action scenes in the entire script.

Jiang Li has worked as a stunt double, so he has a solid foundation and is quite skilled.

Her martial arts instructor practically consulted with her during her training process.

Seeing Jiang Li and the martial arts instructor's impressive aerial fight scene, Song Mingkai was almost in awe: "Brother Yi, with Jiang Li's level of professionalism, he would have been a famous action star long ago!"

Xiao Yi nodded and rubbed his sore arm.

Even someone like him who works out regularly finds it hard to keep up with a day of intense training.

Jiang Li's fight scenes in every training session were executed so beautifully.

All the actors on set were under a lot of pressure.

So much so that everyone was rolling around, and they were all sweating profusely.

But the training was very effective; everyone's action skills and movements have visibly improved a lot compared to before.

Everyone cherishes this excellent opportunity for self-improvement.

For several days in a row, everyone was incredibly motivated and enthusiastic during training.

Wen Chi showed Jiang Li and the action director the action scene they had just filmed.

Jiang Li stood casually with his arms crossed: "The organization managed by Jiu Huo is a group of secret assassins. Movies and TV dramas need to showcase their fluid and beautiful movements to the audience, but..."

"But what?" the martial arts instructor asked.

Wen Chi looked at her.

Jiang Li said casually, "Since they are secret guards and assassins, their greatest skill should be killing with one blow. After all, assassins train in killing techniques, not performance techniques. They can retain some fighting process, but not too much."

Wen Chi slapped the armrest of his chair, his face full of agreement: "That's right! The characters need to be well-developed! The character settings need to be established! Everyone's story should unfold from their character settings!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the screenwriter beside him: "We need to polish the script more carefully. We're making an ensemble piece, and every character has their moment to shine. We must work out the script meticulously."

The screenwriter nodded.

His eyes glanced at Jiang Li several times, filled with admiration and awe.

Spending these past few days with Jiang Li, she's noticed that Jiang Li's every move is perfectly in line with the character of "Jiu Huo," including the little gestures that were specifically designed for "Jiu Huo" in the script, all of which can be seen in her.

This was the first time she had ever seen an actor so thoroughly analyze a character before filming even began.

But once she left the film set, Jiang Li was like a completely different person, showing no trace of Jiu Huo from when she was on set.

This acting skill...

Wen Chi's team focused on the visual presentation of action scenes, so some of the action choreography was too complicated.

Jiang Li is the complete opposite. Her moves are too simple yet deadly. She needs to practice some moves that look beautiful, smooth, and cool, but are not very useful, to enhance her on-screen presence.

She continued training.

The script contains many scenes of Jiang Li teaching Xiao Yi martial arts and sparring with him.

Therefore, the martial arts instructor would arrange for Jiang Li and Xiao Yi to train together.

Xiao Yi hadn't rested for more than a few minutes before he was called over.

Looking at Jiang Li, who was training at several times the intensity of his own, yet continued training with ease, he began to doubt his own strength and physical abilities as a man for the first time.

For the first time, I felt a competitive spirit towards a woman.

Xiao Yi took a deep breath and gripped his sword tightly.

When Wen Chi came over, he suddenly had a brilliant idea and said to Jiang Li and Xiao Yi, "The Crown Prince's skills were taught by Jiu Huo, but in the end he is more powerful than Jiu Huo. There is a fight scene between you two that is a bit ambiguous. You two have been training all day today, why don't you try this fight scene?"

This scene is a small highlight for the male lead, the Crown Prince, and the female lead, Jiu Huo.

The assistant director was also quite excited: "There's a bit of a master-disciple CP involved, so remember to put on a charismatic performance and give the audience a little treat!"

Wen Chi nodded: "Anyway, we're going to shoot some behind-the-scenes footage anyway, so let's go with this scene."

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow: "Okay."

Xiao Yi had no objections.

The action choreographer gave the two some instructions on the moves, and then filming began.

……

The script is that Jiu Huo finished her mission and was practicing her sword in the courtyard. When the Crown Prince returned from court, he saw this scene and immediately rushed over to fight Jiu Huo.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged several blows.

His movements were swift, his attacks were fierce and fast, and his movements were beautiful and fluid to the extreme.

……

The two were wearing only simple training clothes, but their sparring match was like a visual feast.

Magnificent and stunning.

They seemed to have perfect teamwork despite having never trained together.

This only proves that both of them are very capable.

As an expert, the action choreographer could see it clearly.

Jiang Li was adapting to the lower levels, coordinating with Xiao Yi's movements.

While completing their own actions, they can also influence the actions of another actor, achieving the desired effect.

Jiang Li's strength...

Many actors stopped training and looked over.

Wen Chi stared at the scene without blinking.

I can hardly imagine how eye-catching I'll be when I wear the costume.

……

At the beginning of the scene, Jiu Huo had the upper hand, but it was later discovered that the Crown Prince was letting her win.

Jiu Huo frowned, leaving no room for negotiation.

Even though she tried her best, the Crown Prince still grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her back.

The Crown Prince turned around and pulled Jiu Huo into his arms.

Jiu Huo struggled, but his two wrists were tightly gripped and crossed in front of him, unable to move at all.

"Let go." Jiu Huo's voice was cold, his face expressionless, cold and murderous.

"Is Master showing mercy to her only disciple?" The Crown Prince tilted his head and whispered almost in Jiu Huo's ear, their posture extremely ambiguous.

Jiu Huo removed her eyelashes, but they trembled almost imperceptibly.

The prince moved closer to her, his expression quite innocent: "What is Master thinking about?"

The next second, Jiu Huo suddenly broke free from his restraints and turned around to kick him.

The crown prince was kicked hard in the chest and sent flying.

Jiu Huo walked up to the Crown Prince and said coldly, without any expression, "Thinking about how to kill the enemy."

The prince lay on the ground, his hands behind his head, his eyes closed, as if he were willing to die at the hands of Jiu Huo.

……

Xiao Yi and Jiang Li are both incredibly good-looking, and their moves are swift and precise, creating a very dynamic and engaging scene.

Wen Chi slammed his hand on the armrest of the chair: "Good!"

Everyone then came to their senses.

The assistant director gaped in disbelief: "Holy crap!"

If this were to appear in the actual movie, it would be a disaster!
Wen Chi called Jiang Li and Xiao Yi over to show them the footage they had just filmed: "There are no problems!"

This was the first time Xiao Yi had ever completed an action scene with such a high level of skill, so he couldn't help but take another look at Jiang Li.

He was so close that he could almost see the fine downy hairs on Jiang Li's face.

She wasn't wearing makeup; her skin was clean and pale, her profile was stunningly beautiful, and her fox-like eyes were both aloof and alluring—there wasn't a single flaw to be found.

Even in the entertainment industry, where beauties abound, she is excessively beautiful.

Wen Chi turned his head: "That's enough for today. You all go back and get some rest."

The assistant director also went to tell the others to go home.

……

Jiang Li returned to the rest area.

Xu Miao jogged over with her bag in her arms, handed her a water bottle, and whispered, "Sis, Master Xiao is here."

Jiang Li saw Xiao Yi walk in just as he and Xiao Yi were rehearsing their fight scene.

When she was filming, that intense gaze seemed almost tangible, as if it wanted to pierce through her.

Jiang Li took a sip of water and glanced casually at her seat.

The man wore a casual black suit, deep and reserved, exuding a noble and aloof aura.

In his hand was the script for "Like a Dream".

The script stopped at the page of another scene between her and Xiao Yi.

The content describes how Xiao Yi tightly embraced her body when she died in battle.

She and Xiao Yi only had these two relatively intimate scenes.

Jiang Li looked at the script in the man's hand, raised an eyebrow, and chuckled, "How is it, Boss Xiao? Is my play good?"

Qin Yexiao tilted his head slightly, his dark eyes fixed on her face, his voice deep and magnetic: "Beautiful."

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow, her fox-like eyes crinkling: "Xiao Yi and I worked well together, which is why this scene was executed so well."

Qin Yexiao: "..."

The man was silent for two seconds, then stood up, his voice devoid of emotion: "Are you hungry? Let's go eat first."

Jiang Li wasn't wearing high heels.

When he stood up, even she, who was 174 cm tall, looked short in front of him.

At this moment, Song Qing walked over.

"Lili." Song Qing walked up to Jiang Li and said, "I'm off work. What would you like to eat?"

There's also a film crew shooting scenes here next door.

Song Qing is their chief costume designer.

She had already signed a contract with the production team next door, so she originally didn't have time to do makeup and styling for the "Like a Dream" production team.

It just so happens that the two film crews had many overlapping filming locations, which allowed them to work on both projects simultaneously.

As Song Qing spoke, she saw Qin Yexiao and nodded to him in greeting.

Qin Yexiao nodded politely.

"What do you want to eat? We'll go." Jiang Li looked at Song Qing with unusual patience, then turned to Qin Yexiao and said lazily, "You see, Master Xiao, I have an appointment."

Thank you for your support.
