Bai Ye ignored him completely and found Chen Xiangbei, "I'm sorry, Director Chen..."

Chen Xiangbei waved his hand, "Makeup and filming."

Bai Ye's words of explanation stuck in her throat.

Not right.

Chen Xiangbei had always treated him well, so why did his attitude change so drastically?

Because you were late?

Bai Ye wanted to explain further, but Chen Xiangbei had already walked away.

Never mind, I'll explain later.

Bai Ye plunged headfirst into the dressing room.

More than forty minutes later, Bai Ye came out after finishing her makeup.

Chen Xiangbei, his face cold, ordered, "Action!"

The film crew sprang into action, and the extras who had been waiting for ages stood up, still resentful.

Today's scene is the most important scene in portraying the young marshal Zhang Ziqian. The script was discussed by Bai Ye, Chen Xiangbei, and Hong Shuo.

In portraying Zhang Ziqian's evil, the changes were basically made according to Bai Ye's suggestions.

The changes made to Baiye mainly came from the [Criminal System], whose concepts about evil were perfectly suited to Zhang Ziqian.

Da da da.

Zhang Ziqian, dressed in white and riding a white horse, entered Taiping City. He was elegant and refined, and his white clothes and white horse made him look just like a prince on a white horse.

He maintained a smile as he observed Taiping City.

The horse walked very slowly, and the clattering of its hooves broke the tranquility of Taiping City, drawing the attention of the locals.

For some reason, many people find the sound of horses' hooves unpleasant, as each hooves seem to echo their heartbeats, making them feel heavy-hearted.

The boss warmly invited Zhang Ziqian inside. Zhang Ziqian dismounted gracefully, lifted his robe, and followed him inside, his demeanor impeccable.

Bad guy?

Who says this is a bad person? This is clearly a young nobleman.

The child was sleeping in the restaurant. Bai Ye reached out and lovingly stroked the child's head, his smile gentle, just like an old father watching his sleeping child.

The boss started cursing Zhang Rui as a warlord.

Zhang Ziqian seemed to have heard something interesting and started laughing along.

My cousin showed up.

The plot began to take a turn.

Zhang Ziqian turned around, his eyes playful, his expression cold.

My cousin's pupils dilated in shock, and she quickly stopped the boss.

The boss was a little unhappy about being stopped, but serving the customers was the priority, so he had a sudden idea.

"Hey! I'll get you a bowl of noodles! Try Iron Bull Beef Noodles!"

"Okay, but don't add chopped green onions."

"Eh!"

To the accompaniment of eerie music, Zhang Ziqian smiled and invited his cousin to come and sit down.

His hand remained on the child's head, and the cousin closed her eyes in despair.

Why did you kill him?

"Does murder need a reason?" Zhang Ziqian asked, puzzled.

"I started killing people when I was eight years old. Back then, my dad would tell me, 'Son, good job! You can kill whoever you want, because you're my son, Zhang Rui.' Hehehehehehehehehehehe..."

Zhang Ziqian tore off his mask of kindness, revealing his terrifying true nature.

My cousin was enveloped in a chill, and fear kept her from moving.

"I'll play a game with you. If I lose, I'm leaving right now."

"Win..." Zhang Ziqian looked around at the people around him, "You will all die."

Although he said it with a smile, no one dared to laugh along. This disregard for life sent chills down the spines of those watching the play.

"Let's bet on whether there are scallions in that bowl of noodles."

My cousin was so frightened she couldn't speak.

"I bet there's a lot of scallions in the noodles."

The owner brought over the noodles, and my cousin was extremely nervous, praying that the owner had listened to what he had just said and hadn't put any scallions in the noodles.

My cousin's chest heaved violently as she stared intently at the bowl of noodles.

thump.

The noodles are placed on the table.

Zhang Ziqian and his cousin both peeked out at the same time.

There are no scallions.

My cousin smiled with relief, while Zhang Ziqian's smile froze for a moment before he laughed again.

His smile was tinged with mockery and sarcasm.

"I don't eat beef."

Without warning, Zhang Ziqian pulled out a pistol, shot the boss dead with a backhand, stood up with a smile, his eyes cold, and fired a second shot.

The gunshot woke the sleeping child.

"Hahahaha..."

Zhang Ziqian flashed a standard villainous smile, letting his cousin rush over and beat him up.

boom.

Zhang Ziqian was all smiles, just as he had when he came in.

Gentle and elegant.

The little boy died.

His cousin went crazy and grabbed his neck. Zhang Ziqian even cooperated by making a choking expression.

Then he shoved the gun into his cousin's mouth, and with a bang, she died.

"Click!"

Chen Xiangbei decisively called a halt. Although he was very dissatisfied with Bai Ye's lateness, he had to admit that Bai Ye's acting was too good.

They're the worst of the worst, the most monstrous of the beasts. If everyone could act like that, making a movie wouldn't take months or a year; a week would probably be enough.

After reviewing the footage, Chen Xiangbei decisively waved his hand, "Cut! Get ready for the next scene."

While the actors were preparing, Bai Ye found Chen Xiangbei again.

"Director Chen, I ran into some trouble this afternoon on my way from the Special Police Unit..."

After Bai Ye finished recounting the bizarre things she had encountered, Chen Xiangbei was stunned.

"Save them?"

"Disarming an attacker bare-handed?"

Bai Ye nodded modestly.

Why didn't you tell me?

Bai Ye silently pulled out her crushed phone.

Chen Xiangbei patted Bai Ye on the shoulder with a hint of apology, "You've worked hard, take a break and prepare for the next match."

In the next scene, Zhang Ziqian is arrested by Chen Weiguo, but he innocently claims that the children stole his gun and he accidentally shot and killed them.

Chen Weiguo decided to execute Zhang Ziqian, but Zhang Ziqian was not afraid at all; instead, he laughed happily.

The onlookers immediately became angry and surrounded him, hurling insults.

Chen Xiangbei was a little surprised. Were these extras all acting this well? Their anger was so real!

These people gritted their teeth and cursed Bai Ye as if they had some deep-seated hatred.

Chen Xiangbei gave the assistant director an approving look, praising his excellent performance in selecting extras today.

On the other side, Fu Ziang was laughing so happily, serves him right!

The people were furious. Suddenly, Ren Woxing burst in and revealed Zhang Ziqian's identity—a young warlord.

If Zhang Ziqian dies, everyone in Ping'an City will be buried with him.

The cursing crowd began to panic. They instantly forgot about their cousin's death. Revenge? That was something they would do if they had the means.

They didn't want to die, they just wanted to live.

Everyone began to oppose killing Chen Weiguo. They persuaded Chen Weiguo to release Zhang Ziqian, but Chen Weiguo refused, insisting on justice.

On one side is justice, on the other is life and death.

Human nature cannot withstand the test. The people no longer want justice; they just want to survive.

As a result, conflicts arose between the two sides, and Chen Weiguo and others began to be attacked from within.

When he needed Chen Weiguo's help, he was a hero; when Chen Weiguo became an obstacle, he was an enemy.

This is the human heart.

Ultimately, Chen Weiguo and his group chose to compromise.

Because Bai Ye gets into character exceptionally quickly, the scene was filmed smoothly even though Bai Ye was late.
