Liu Yifan spread his wings and soared into the sky. As expected of a professional martial arts actor, he was able to swing his arms while simultaneously kicking Liu Zhongze in the face.

Liu Zhongze's hands transformed into giant mouths again, changing direction to bite Liu Yifan's kicking leg. Then, he joined his hands together, like a ferocious beast biting, and pulled Liu Yifan's leg away, throwing him out.

Wang Xiaoming came up behind Liu Yifan like a tortoise. He squatted there and did nothing, but in the special effects artist's mind, he was the true form of Xuanwu, protecting his teammate Zhuque with his powerful tortoise shell.

Not to be outdone, Wang Xiaoming crawled on all fours on the ground. He came to Liu Zhongze's vicinity and launched an attack by hooking his leg out from behind, just like the tail of a black tortoise.

Just as Liu Zhongze was about to grab Xuanwu's tail with his massive jaws, two dragon claws grabbed his leather suit, seemingly pulling something out of his body.

Rotating his hands, Liu Zhongze, representing the ferocious Kunpeng beast, seemed to be intimidated by the four divine beasts and dared not make any rash moves.

He looked around, seemingly searching for something. Suddenly, he lunged forward, making it seem as if he had just been attacked by something. He looked behind him with an incredulous expression.

Wang Xiaoming and Liu Yifan were stunned for a moment before they remembered that the Qilin with the metal attribute was still missing. It seemed that Liu Zhongze had found a way for the Qilin to enter the arena.

Before the two could make a move, Liu Zhongze's leg was lifted up out of thin air, and it really looked like something transparent was biting his leg and constantly tearing at it. He could only do his best to maintain his balance.

"The scene is almost there. Gaia is just a strong enemy of the War Soul Squad ahead. We don't need to make him too strong. Let's all go together." Wang Xiaoming ran towards Liu Zhongze like a cat.

He quickly came to Liu Zhongze's side and waved his claws at him. Liu Zhongze acted very convincingly, as if he had personally experienced the white tiger's attack!

Following that, the Azure Dragon's claws gripped Liu Zhongze's shoulder, seemingly trying to pull out the ferocious Kunpeng beast from within Liu Zhongze's body.

Liu Zhongze looked pained. Before he could break free from the Qilin, Wang Xiaoming, who had transformed into Xuanwu, stretched out his snake head and tail and bit him hard in the waist and abdomen.

When the Vermilion Bird, representing light, appeared, Liu Zhongze could only fall down unwillingly before Liu Yifan's eagle leg, unable to get up again.

At this moment, the extras and cameraman Li Yun nearby were all captivated by the performance of the three of them. If He Qian's voice hadn't come out from inside Wang Tao's robes, Wang Tao would have continued watching the show.

"Hahaha... Are the Five Elemental Divine Beasts already having such difficulty dealing with just one of my subordinates? Let me send you all to the Yellow Springs!"

When Wang Tao, dressed in a black robe, walked up to them, he stopped and did not launch an attack. Instead, he made a chilling laugh from the side.

According to the script, the five elemental beasts will then engage in a life-or-death battle with the Dark Emperor. However, the part requiring live-action performance ends here. The rest will require a computer-generated 3D animation to set the subsequent battles in the sky and space.

Li Yun walked over carrying a camera and said, "One take! You guys are amazing! Even during regular rehearsals, I thought you'd make mistakes."

Li Yun noticed that Liu Zhongze was still engrossed in the script, so he patted him on the shoulder and helped him stand up.

Wang Xiaoming said, "No wonder He Qian specifically invited him. He almost couldn't keep up with Zhong Ze's scenes. I didn't even rehearse with him, yet he managed to film it like this just by going with the flow. He's so good at action scenes!"

Liu Yifan couldn't help but praise, "Liu Zhongze completely controlled the rhythm of the acting. As long as we cooperated, we could get into character faster! Also, the scene where the Qilin attacked was really exciting. Lao Wang and I each took on two roles. Originally, we were supposed to perform the Qilin together, since the White Tiger and Black Tortoise have very similar attack methods. Adding another Qilin would only make it more homogenous."

"I also think that sneak attack was pretty good. The sudden bite from the Qilin was much better than you expected. The key is Liu Zhongze's movements; they didn't look like acting at all." Li Yun looked at Liu Zhongze and asked, "Have you ever been bitten by a dog?"

Liu Zhongze had just gotten up from the ground. He took off his wig, his face covered in sweat, but his eyes were bright. He said, "No, but my pantomime performance is not bad."

Whether it's a dramatic or action-packed play, it ultimately relies on pantomime and animal performances.

In pantomime, dramatic scenes require emotional fluctuations and expressions of feeling, while action scenes require the language of physical movements that can be easily discerned by the audience.

In terms of action performance, dramatic scenes require the portrayal of the animal's unique intelligence and characteristics, while action scenes require the expression of the animal's attack methods and ferocious instincts.

In every aspect, Liu Zhongze was outstanding. Unfortunately, in Hong Kong back then, being outstanding didn't guarantee recognition. Instead, he faced suppression and contempt. If he didn't obey, the dark forces behind the scenes would teach him a lesson.

"How humble! How can there be such a humble young man?" Wang Xiaoming patted Liu Zhongze on the shoulder.

Liu Yifan also came over, patted Liu Zhongze on the shoulder, and said, "It's just a fine tradition for actors, keep it up."

Li Yun slung the camera over his shoulder, looked at Liu Zhongze, and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "You are undoubtedly the genius of tokusatsu dramas!"

Even though it was three people patting him on the shoulder, Liu Zhongze felt as if they had all become one person.

While he was still in a daze, Wang Tao, dressed in black robes, also took off his costume, revealing a rugged face. He patted Liu Zhongze on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you acted well. With you joining us, our crew is even more powerful. Let's go find the other main actors. Next up is the scene where the Five Elements Divine Beasts are searching for their summoners."

As expected of an old classmate, Wang Tao gave Liu Zhongze a similar feeling to the previous three.

Liu Zhongze followed Wang Tao, and the five of them arrived at a scene in a grand hall, where all the statues of gods and Buddhas were covered by green cloth.

He Qian was giving acting instructions to Lin Youyu and the other two. Her tone was sometimes loud and sometimes low, and she would also use gestures to express what she wanted to say.

However, Xie Yukai was getting impatient: "Director, you don't even have a script, how am I supposed to act for you?"

"There is a script, it's just still being printed. I'll get it for you in a bit. You can just act it out as I say."

Before Xie Yukai could say anything more, Chen Fengqi waved to Liu Zhongze, walked over to him, and asked, "What were you doing with them? Why are you so sweaty?"

Liu Zhongze had taken off his leotard and now looked like someone who had just done strenuous exercise.

He Qian spotted Liu Zhongze and walked over, wanting to pat him on the shoulder like her four old classmates, but she wasn't tall enough and had to stand on tiptoe to reach him.

The five old classmates were so in sync that they even patted the same shoulder on the same side, and even the positions of their five fingers were almost identical.
