Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 386 Real Whispering
Zeng Li nodded silently. Having a man like that and a wife like that, you're bound to suffer every day.

In just ten days, she felt much weaker, which shows how much suffering Qianqian had endured.

This guy is definitely not normal. She's been through it all; he's like that.

but……

She was satisfied with everything, regardless of time, space, speed, or frequency. With a creditor like this, why bother getting married? Being chased for debt for a lifetime would be just as good.

She suffers every day, but the makeup artist suffers even more. This woman becomes more and more radiant every day, practically giving the makeup artist more work to do, and making her makeup and styling take longer and longer each day.

Sisi and Zeng Li hit it off as they chatted, and aside from other factors, they were practically from the same hometown.

Another factor is that she used Zeng Li as an excuse to plot against her younger brother back then.

So the sofa that Liu Jing often sat on had a new owner. Zeng Li personally brewed a pot of tea and chatted with Qianqian about life, career, and hobbies.

Zeng Li is a professional, especially when it comes to tea brewing and health preservation, and Qianqian really wants to learn from her.

She likes coffee but not tea, but Liu Jing does.

"what……"

A scream came from the filming studio.

"Hiss..." Sisi was shocked, spilling half a cup of hot tea on her hand.

"Are you alright? You'll get used to it. If we don't make some noise every day, people will feel uneasy." Zeng Li quickly took Qianqian's little hand and started blowing on it.

A cool breeze carried away the lingering heat.

Sisi looked around blankly. There were quite a few people, but none of them seemed panicked.

They were chatting away, not even turning their heads, as if they hadn't heard anything.

The cleaning crew kept cleaning without stopping.

The men Lao Han brought stood at the door, their backs straight, not even blinking.

Zeng Li took a bottle of frozen drink from the refrigerator and placed it on the spot where Qianqian was burning. Only then did she realize what was happening, "This sounds like Mu Tou's scream..."

“Ask everyone here, who hasn’t screamed? Especially that little girl named Zhao Liying… she was terrified by Zhou Xun that night. Her scream was so loud that even Ba Niu avoids her…”

Liu Jing came out of the filming studio with white gauze covering his ears, which were covered in blood.

Sisi was no longer in the mood to listen to what Zeng Li was saying, and she didn't even notice the strange thing that happened when Zeng Li mentioned the name Zhao Liying.

She dropped her iced drink and rushed over, "Wood, how did you get hurt? Call 120 right away..."

The onlookers in the hall didn't really take Liu Jing's screams seriously.

Even if Lao Han from China Film Group cracks a whip, he can break down and roar loudly. It's nothing for a director to scream.

So chat when you want to chat, and enjoy the gossip when you want to enjoy the gossip.

The topic of conversation wasn't the movie "The Message"; the gossip was all about romantic scenery.

This couple's relationship has been public for months, and the buzz hasn't died down. No matter which celebrity relationship is revealed, Fengjing's is always brought up for discussion.

After their relationship was exposed, Liu Jing made frequent moves, but Liu Yifei seemed to disappear without a trace.

Rumors, seemingly from nowhere, have surfaced that Liu Yifei is pregnant, forcing the exposure of their relationship. It's even said that she will retire from acting to focus on being a wife and mother.

At the beginning of the year, Liu Tao retired from acting due to marriage, and at the end of the year, Liu Yifei retired from the entertainment industry due to her relationship, which was considered a beautiful story by many.

When Sisi joined the crew yesterday, many people secretly observed her, wondering if she was pregnant or not.

There's talk about it again today; it seems he hasn't retired from the entertainment industry. He even had a cameo role in "The Message."

As for the news of appearing on the Spring Festival Gala, it hasn't been released yet; only a few people know about it.

"I'm fine, just a minor injury." Liu Jing smiled wryly; Zhou Xun really dared to bite him.

Everyone was whispering among themselves, and looking at Liu Jing's expression, it was clear that he had really been whispered in the ear.

The people around seemed relieved; they thought, "You got what you deserved..."

Zhou Xun also came out, lying on a small cart, being pushed out.

Her hair was disheveled, she was soaked, and covered in blood. Blood trickled from the corners of her mouth, from Liu Jing's ear, from where she had bitten her lip, and mostly from prop materials.

The onlookers fell silent instantly. Was it really that bad? Then they started whispering among themselves.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to Gu Xiaomeng as she logs off." Wang Zhiwen clapped his hands, and then the whole room erupted in enthusiastic applause.

clap clap clap...

Regardless of what people think, this dedication certainly deserves applause.

"Sisi, it's been a long time."

Sisi was initially furious—how dare he bite my wooden dog! Does he think I don't exist? I wouldn't even dare to bite him like that. But seeing Zhou Xun so miserable, she lost all interest in being angry.

She held Zhou Xun's hand with a look of pity, "You..."

"Sisi, I'm sorry. I got carried away and bit too hard, and I bit the wrong place too. I bit the fake ear and the real ear too." Zhou Xun grinned, quite pleased; that bite had really been satisfying.

Just now, during the filming of Gu Xiaomeng teasing Wu Tian, ​​she secretly used a needle to unlock the door. When Wu Tian choked her, she pounced on him and bit his ear hard.

Takeda let out a scream, and it wasn't an act; it was real.

Commander Zhang and Wang Tianxiang stormed into the torture chamber, where Wang Tianxiang shot and killed Gu Xiaomeng, freeing her from this ordeal.

"Sister Xun, are you alright?" What else could Qianqian say? She should first comfort the actor, after all, this was a scene with a wooden character.

“I bit the director, and it made me feel much better. My body doesn’t hurt as much anymore. If you’re not happy, you can bite him back.” Zhou Xun’s throat was very hoarse, as if he had sand in his mouth.

"Pfft, Sister Xun, he deserved to be bitten for designing such a perverted punishment." Qianqian laughed and took a tissue to wipe Zhou Xun's face.

"The director is a good director, he's excellent. I really envy you." Zhou Xun sighed and closed his eyes.

"Many people envy me, I'm used to it," Sisi responded quietly.

"Where's the doctor? Why hasn't he arrived yet? Hurry up and treat their wounds!" Old Han shouted as he came out of the house.

Without Lao Han needing to yell, two doctors were right there, pulling the two injured people into the medical room.

Sisi followed them in. She was very familiar with the medical room; they had filmed there yesterday.

From the very beginning, the crew of "The Message" established a partnership with a nearby hospital. The hospital assigned two doctors to convert a room in the club into a medical room, ready to respond to any needs of the crew.

There are too many scenes of torture, and even with protective measures or fake filming, bumps and bruises are inevitable.

The medical room arrangement was actually a good one; these actors seem to be really competing with each other. The competition started with Chen Kun, who demanded that the waterboarding scene be filmed realistically, and then Zeng Li also demanded that the physical torture scene be filmed realistically.

Duan Yihong is even more extreme; he uses real electric shocks and needle torture, because it's hard to fake them.

The most bizarre one was Zhou Xun, who was lying in a small car and couldn't even walk.

In no time at all, Liu Jing's ear was bandaged; it wasn't too serious. He was disinfected, given some medicine, and then came out with gauze wrapped around it.

"Haha, this one-eared look is pretty cool." Old Han pointed at Liu Jing's new look and laughed heartily, feeling incredibly relieved.

Since the start of filming for "The Message", he has joined the crew four times.

In all these years, apart from films primarily controlled by China Film Group, this is the first time he has come so frequently.

When filming started in Nanjing, it was my first time joining the crew. We shot two outdoor scenes, and everything went smoothly except that I sat in the car all night and got quite cold.

When he was moving to Qiuzhuang, he needed to talk to Liu Jing, and he was so scared that he almost had a heart attack.

This was my third time joining the crew to film the scene where I whipped Bai Xiaonian. My hands were sore for two days afterward.

This was his fourth time joining the crew. He had scenes to film yesterday and today, and he was determined to outshine Liu Jing with his acting skills, but failed again. Forget Liu Jing, he didn't outshine Wu Gang, Zhou Xun, Zeng Li, or Duan Yihong either; he was outshone by all of them.

Old Han was sullen. He felt that these actors were doing it on purpose, and he secretly resented Liu Jing. This kid set a good example; not one of them respected him, the chairman.

Now that he saw Liu Jing's ear had been bitten, he finally felt relieved.

He still has scenes to film in the afternoon, where Wang Tianxiang is shot and killed, and then filming for "The Message" wraps up.

Filming wrapped up a few days ahead of schedule, thanks to detailed storyboards and the excellent performances of all the actors.

"I only have one ear, and you're a cripple too," Liu Jing said irritably.

"It's a work injury, it's a work injury." Old Han grunted twice and then fell silent.

In the play, Commander Zhang walks with a limp, while Old Han's legs are normal. There was a step in the hall, which he thought was flat ground, and he missed a step and twisted his ankle.

That's good, the lame actor doesn't have to perform anymore.

"Director, shall we eat now, or after we finish filming the next scene?" Shen Ao ran out of the kitchen. He hadn't been able to film in the morning, so he was most eager to eat.

"Now, everyone's here, so we can eat our fill and get to work," Liu Jing responded. The meal times for the "The Message" crew were very flexible, and the number of meals each day was also quite random. They often ate four meals a day because they had to film late into the night.

Lunch was a buffet; the chef cooked seven or eight different dishes and a pot of rice. You could help yourself to whatever you wanted.

Dinner is served here, and Sisi has come out of the medical room.

"Is she alright?" Liu Jing was still very concerned. Casting Zhou Xun as Gu Xiaomeng was definitely the right decision. All the actors performed well; if there had to be a ranking, Zhou Xun would certainly be number one.

Zhou Xun was very well prepared, having read the novel countless times beforehand.

During filming, I never worried about her lines, as I had already memorized them in advance.

I would point out inappropriate lines or plot points to Liu Jing, though my suggestions were often ignored.

Before the audition for "The Message", Liu Jing was not optimistic about Zhou Xun, not thinking he was good at his looks or acting skills.

He felt that Zhou Xun couldn't capture Gu Xiaomeng's charm or spirit, and that his ideal type was actually Gao Yuanyuan.

Several years ago, the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" left a shadow on Liu Jing's young mind.

During Zhou Xun's audition, he suddenly realized that his hoarse voice was actually an advantage. A recitation, coupled with his deliberate attempt to win over Liu Jing, finally moved him.

"You guys are really ruthless. There was padding underneath, but don't you even consider what kind of place that is?" Sisi was furious. She pinched Liu Jing's arm, about to tighten her grip, but then she looked at the ears covered by white gauze and her heart softened.

Zhou Xun is pitiful, and so is my Mu Tou. She's filming real footage, and so is Mu Tou. She's vulnerable there, and Mu Tou's ears are sensitive too.

"She insisted on that. Didn't you see how nervous those guys were, even more nervous than her?" Liu Jing said innocently. During filming, he hadn't intended to actually shoot anything; he just wanted to make it look like a movie.

"Sigh! He'll probably need to recover for a while." Sisi sighed, pouting. "Won't the next news story from your production crew be about Zhou Xun getting injured like this?"

"No! News hype has its limits. Some things can be news, some can't. Some topics can create news, while others will only backfire." Liu Jing shook his head.

"Wood, you really are a successor to Big Beard. If there's no news, you create it," Sisi teased.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who is Big Beard? Zhang Daqian?" Liu Jing naturally denied it.

"Tch! Wang Shuo came knocking on our door, why didn't you release this news?" Xixi said disdainfully.

"Of course we have to release it, but now is not the right time. We'll release it as a rumor when the publicity starts, the more exaggerated the better." Liu Jing wouldn't let this hot topic slip by. As for what Wang Shuo thinks, what does it matter to me? Would I care?
"What's the next news story? The director almost had his ear bitten off?" Sisi asked curiously.

"Fairy Sister's Uniform Temptation." Liu Jing stroked his chin, seemingly quite pleased. "How about I let Qianqian tempt me tonight? Let's see if I can resist the temptation."

"Pah! You treat me like a personal extra, fine, but to make the most of me? Aren't you afraid my fans will scold you?" Sisi laughed and scolded.

"I'm already the number one enemy of the fans of the Immortal Cultivation Sect. What else can they say to me? There's no way to rise any higher." Liu Jing sighed. This time, he brought Qianqian in as an extra, but she didn't even have a single line. He guessed he would be scolded by the fans of the Immortal Cultivation Sect again.

"What's the point of trying to ruin it?" Sisi said with a smile.

"Otherwise what?" Liu Jing retorted.

"You're really something." Sisi rolled her eyes, feeling somewhat troubled by her fans' behavior.

"We were forced into this," Liu Jing said smugly.

Sisi spat lightly, her face flushing red. She couldn't do anything about the fans, but Liu Jing had ways of dealing with her. Whenever the fans attacked Liu Jing en masse, he would retaliate against her in various ways.

Thinking of the man's methods, Sisi's face turned even redder.

As the two ate lunch, they chatted away, completely forgetting Teacher An's teaching of "not speaking while eating or sleeping."

Seeing this, the others were very perceptive and none of them came over, as that would only make them uncomfortable.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, no one complained about taking a nap, and filming continued.

Everyone was in high spirits, and no one was slacking off; no one wanted to delay their holiday.

The remaining scenes unfold between Takeda, Commander Zhang, and Wang Tianxiang.

Takeda and Commander Zhang spoke in Japanese and chose Wang Tianxiang as the scapegoat.

"Officers..." Wang Tianxiang didn't understand. He was an absolute old fox and sensed something was wrong.

"I have something to discuss with Chief Takeda. You may leave now." Commander Zhang said coldly. Old Han was quite adept at playing this kind of role.

Liu Jing agreed to his cameo role precisely because of these factors: firstly, Lao Han's status, and secondly, Lao Han and Commander Zhang were a good fit, regardless of acting skills.

"Yes!" Wang Tianxiang lowered her head slightly, took two steps back, and then turned and left.

stomping on...

The footsteps were rhythmic. One shot focused on Wang Tianxiang, and another on Commander Zhang's sinister gaze.

bang bang bang...

Commander Zhang raised his hand and fired at Wang Tianxiang.

Wang Tianxiang had seen all of this beforehand through the mirror. He drew his gun to retaliate, but dropped it while dodging bullets.

He grabbed the iron bar and threw it at Commander Zhang, not giving him a chance to fire again. Then he rushed over, grabbed him by the neck, and cursed, "Fuck your grandpa, fuck your grandpa, fuck your grandpa..."

Takeda calmly picked up the gun, and Wang Tianxiang instantly tensed up, "Commander Takeda, Commander Takeda, you know how I've always been with you, you let him..."

boom……

Wang Tianxiang logged off, spraying blood all over Commander Zhang's face.

"Cut! Director, how's this take?" Shen Ao hurriedly asked for the director's opinion. This was the third take; in fact, he thought the first two were also good.

"Wang Zhiwen, you're having a good time, aren't you?" Old Han's face darkened, and he lightly kicked Wang Zhiwen, who was lying on the ground.

He touched his neck, having just had the illusion that the other person was really going to strangle him.

"Haha, Mr. Han, it's just filming, it's all just filming." Wang Zhiwen patted his butt and got up from the ground, secretly feeling very pleased. In all his years of filming, that scene was definitely the most enjoyable one he'd ever done.

"You're not going to use this for personal revenge, are you?" Old Han asked suspiciously.

“No, if you say that, they’ll all say I’m settling a personal score.” Wang Zhiwen pointed at Zeng Li, Zhou Xun, and Duan Yihong, and the three of them said in unison, “Indeed, I’m settling a personal score.”

"You guys really should have been tortured back then," Wang Zhiwen said with a laugh.

"Hmph! Zhiwen, I have a movie here, and there's a role that would be perfect for you..."

Before Lao Han could finish speaking, Wang Zhiwen refused outright, "I'm not going, I need to rest for a while."

He had reason to suspect that Lao Han wanted to take the opportunity to retaliate.

"I didn't say it would be during this time, but since you're all here, let's talk about something. My movie 'The Founding of a Republic' starts filming after the New Year, and I'd like you all to come and play cameo roles..."
