Huayu started from the Three Kingdoms period

……

Inside the film set in Jiangju Ancient Town, at the film studio's shelter.

After the makeup was done, the members of the cannon fodder group were completely transformed into 'beggars'.

These days, Duan Yihong, Zhang Yi, and several others have grown beards, including Xu Ying.

His already stubble-covered face, after the makeup team's work, was transformed into a military uniform.

A tall, imposing, and sharp-eyed Commander Yu appeared before everyone's eyes.

Liu Tianzuo, who plays the artilleryman Krupp, showed a hint of envy on his dark, chubby face and said, "I wish I hadn't come to the cannon fodder regiment. Look how handsome Xu Ying is."

Wang Wang, also known as A Yi, looked at his face and said with pity, "Artilleryman, I think that uniform suits you quite well, but you don't look like a division commander."

Liu Tianzuo asked excitedly, "Then what do I look like?"

"Like a puppet soldier..."

"More like a translator," Wang Dazhi added.

"Damn it! You guys judge people by their appearance!"

Laughter erupted immediately.

……

The props team is busy setting up the scene, preparing for the important scene to come.

The actors sat together, listening intently to the director's instructions.

Xu Ying obediently squeezed between Duan Yihong and Zhang Guoqiang.

This scene marks the beginning of the series.

Yu Xiaoqing decided to form his own Sichuan Army Corps, so he came to the internment camp to find this group of defeated soldiers.

American machine guns, American artillery, and American tanks are all available to you, as long as the defeated soldiers are willing to join his regiment.

Once you join his regiment, you can live a life of luxury and receive military pay.

Most importantly, then there would be Japanese devils to kill! Japanese devils to kill?

"That's it, did you all understand?"

"Understood."

"Xu Ying, this scene is crucial. You have to make them resonate with it and get their emotions going."

"no problem."

The actors all went to prepare.

This was Xu Ying's first scene in the past few days, and everyone wanted to see his performance, so a lot of people gathered around the set.

Liu Weiwei and Yuan Fei also came.

"Huh, why aren't you going back to rest after filming?" The director was a little surprised, but when he saw Xu Ying, he understood.

"I'm here to observe and learn, Director Kang." That's what she said, but Yuan Fei's eyes were always on Xu Ying.

Liu Weiwei knew exactly what this little brat was thinking. "Feifei, shouldn't a girl be reserved?"

Yuan Fei asked in confusion, "Sister Weiwei, wasn't I reserved enough?"

Liu Weiwei shook her head, "Your eyes are practically glued to that person."

"I heard it, haha," pyrotechnician Guo Yan teased as he walked over.

After saying that, he looked at Kang Honglei and said, "Director Kang, I have a new idea for the fireworks. It will definitely take the war scene to a whole new level."

Guo Yan was the director of the fireworks workshop at Xi'an Film Studio and is now the head of the fireworks team for the film "My Chief and My Regiment." He has been in this industry for over 20 years.

"Okay, Lao Guo."

It's a good thing to take the war scenes to the next level, and it's also what director Kang Honglei wants to see. After all, live-action filming is more entertaining than special effects.

Kang Honglei was quite confident in Guo Yan, after all, his work experience spoke for itself.

He is also very meticulous. Over the years, Guo Yan has been involved in the fireworks industry and there has never been a single accident.

However, Kang Honglei still cautioned, "It's good to have ideas, but we must be careful and try them out first."

"Okay, Director Kang, I'll go get ready then." Guo Yan replied cheerfully. If he succeeded this time, his skills would be even better.

These days, everyone's into special effects, but can special effects compare to fireworks explosions?

Explosions are art!

"Teacher Xu." Guo Yan called out to Xu Ying before leaving, waving to him in greeting.

Xu Ying looked in the direction of the voice and waved in response.

During this time, Xu Ying had already become familiar with the actors and staff.

[Ding! You have interacted with pyrotechnician Guo Yan and have been granted one chance to win a prize. Would you like to participate?]

Looking at the panel, Xu Ying silently replied, "Yes!"

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skill: Design, Execution, and Control of Film and Television Special Effects Pyrotechnics]

Wow, that's a really long skill name.

Xu Ying then remembered that there seemed to be a safety accident related to fireworks in "My Chief and My Regiment", which led to a suspension of filming for rectification.

It seems that an accident occurred because of experimental fireworks, and a life was lost as a result.

Thinking of this, Xu Ying walked over and asked Kang Honglei, "Director Kang, what did Lao Guo just say?"

"He said he had a new fireworks design, so I told him to give it a try. Come on, let's get started."

"Oh, okay." Xu Ying nodded thoughtfully.

Holy crap, could it all be because of Guo Degang?

Now that I'm here, I can't let this happen again.

Let's film the movie first, and we'll talk to Lao Guo later.

The executive director shouted, "Everyone, get ready!"

"Snap!" The clapperboard rang out.

"Scene 56, Shot 1, Action!"

As soon as the sound faded, filming officially began.

Xu Ying walked into the frame, and only after reaching the steps in front of the house did he turn around and look at the group of oddballs in front of him.

"My surname is Yu, and my given name is Xiaoqing."

"My superiors told me that if I went to fight in Burma, they would give me a fully equipped reinforced regiment... I said I appreciated it."

Xu Ying shouted, "Why?"

"Because what I want is my regiment, I want my comrades-in-arms to think of my commander when they hear the name Yu Xiaoqing!"

"When I think of my comrades, I think of my regiment."

"..."

These impassioned words clearly failed to move the fleeing soldiers. What Yu Xiaoqing saw in their eyes was numbness and fear.

Filming continues.

Without further ado, Yu Xiaoqing revealed his trump card, taking a Jackson light machine gun, a Thompson submachine gun, and a Type 79 rifle from the soldiers around him.

He pulled back the bolt and unleashed a barrage of fire at the roof tiles.

Yu Xiaoqing promised that all of these things would be theirs once they went to Myanmar.

This is their confidence; they won't be allowed to fight unprepared battles.

"Tanks, anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-tank guns, heavy mortars, field guns, mountain guns! They're all yours!"

"Most importantly, there are Japanese devils to kill!"

At this moment, the fire that had been dormant in the hearts of the defeated soldiers for so long was rekindled by Yu Xiaoqing.

Like a ray of light in the darkness, it guided them forward.

"Cut! One take!"

Kang Honglei raised his hands above his head and led the applause.

The members of the cannon fodder regiment also applauded.

"Yes, Master Yu, I'm really excited!" Fan Lei exclaimed.

"That's pretty impressive. I'd actually like to switch places with you, haha," Zhang Guoqiang said with a laugh as he lay in his hammock.

As the props were brought in to set up the scene, Xu Ying came down and checked the monitor.

Kang Honglei praised, "Just act like this, no problem, the momentum and everything is just right."

Then Kang Honglei and Xu Ying discussed some areas that could be adjusted later.

"Look, this is what experiential learning looks like. How can you compare if you don't work hard?"

"It's nothing, it's not important." Yuan Fei was genuinely happy for Xu Ying because he performed so well.

"Silly girl, you'll get tricked sooner or later." Liu Weiwei rolled her eyes and shook her head.
