I am a director in Ark. If I am not banned, I will be considered successful.

"—Stop the car, Fredo."

Suddenly, Lady Sicily spoke, causing Giovanna, who was confused, to immediately step on the brakes. As Lady Sicily got out of the car, Giovanna also got out of the car and asked in confusion, "Dad?"

"Wait a moment, I'll go buy some fruit." Lady Sicily answered casually, as if she had said it on impulse, which made Giovanna, who was a little confused just now, relax again.

"Okay, Dad." Giovanna answered and went back into the car. Her relaxed nerves still made her unaware of how dangerous the situation of the Sicilian lady was at the moment, as she had no visible bodyguards.

Mrs. Sicily seemed to be unaware as she walked to the fruit stand, took a fancy to the oranges at first sight, and said:

"Happy holidays, I'll pick some fruit."

"Give me three of these, and this one..."

Lady Sicily picked the fruits casually, while on the other side, the "assassination team" played by the King Slayer was ready. She quickly received the signal, and the King Slayer immediately whispered:

"Are you ready? Go!"

As they said this, the two actors who were playing the disguised Kingslayer and Mudrock stepped forward quickly. They raised the small prop guns in their hands, which immediately caught the attention of Lady Sicily.

Almost immediately, Lady Sicily dropped the fruit in her hand and ran towards the car where Giovanna was, shouting:

"Fredo!"

"Bang bang bang!"

However, Mrs. Sicily was still a little short. When she pounced towards the car, the two men had already raised their guns and shot at Mrs. Sicily. The two small guns fired at Mrs. Sicily's body covered with blood, and soon bloody holes were created on it.

"dad!"

Giovanna rushed out almost immediately and subconsciously took out her gun, but suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air, and she felt a pain in her hand, and the gun fell to the ground without being held firmly.

At this moment, the gunfire had stopped, and when Joanna reacted, the assassin had disappeared without a trace.

She only saw Mrs. Sicily, who had been shot several times, falling lifelessly from the car and lying in a pool of blood on the ground, completely motionless.

At this moment, Giovanna, who was once the head of the family and had witnessed many bloody scenes, felt her brain go blank the moment Lady Sicily fell down. She lost all of a sudden her strength and fell to the ground.

Feelings of fear and panic occupied Giovanna's mind in an instant... She now realized that because of her negligence... the assassin had the opportunity to approach Lady Sicily.

Who are they? Which family are they from? Why did they assassinate Lady Sicily at this time? Where are Lady Sicily's bodyguards?

However, these questions were meaningless to Joanna at the moment. She realized that because of this assassination, she and her family would be the first responsible persons for this assassination. All the families in Syracuse would be uprooted because of her negligence this time.

When she thought about the death of her closest family members, and that her family would be completely wiped out from this land after this day, at this moment, Giovanna was at a loss, grabbing her hair in pain, with a distorted and painful expression, and she could already hear the sound of sobbing...

“Dad! Aaaaaaaaah—”

Giovanna, who was filled with extreme remorse, lowered her head in pain, and even subconsciously called out the name she had been calling Madam Sicily recently. Her extremely painful look made the people around her, who didn't know that this was a movie, gather around her involuntarily.

However, they were apparently accustomed to such assassinations. Their expressions were numb and no one even called for a doctor. They just watched quietly.

All of this was so common in Syracuse that the crying Joanna was completely at a loss - until a clear voice rang out:

"Cut! Good, this set of shots is passed! Giovanna performed very well! If you don't know, you would think the lady is really dead."

Chen Qi's joyful voice immediately came through the loudspeaker, and at this moment, Giovanna, who had just been crying and holding her head, raised her head blankly, only to find that Lady Sicily on the ground was looking at her with a smile on her face and her eyes open.

...Were you acting just now? Giovanna realized it belatedly, and at this moment, Lady Sicily said apologetically:

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hide this from you, kid."

"It's just that if you want to achieve this effect, you have to do it this way, and it can save a lot of time. At least now, from the effect point of view, it's really good."

"Then the rest... just depends on the others. I hope they can pass the same way as you."

See...what expressions will the other children have when they find out she was "assassinated"?

Siye would probably be very angry. Would Chizui be able to stop her eldest brother? It should be possible. Of all the children in the family, Texas made her feel most at ease. He was a good successor. She would definitely be able to handle the problem calmly...

More importantly, she will no longer be able to take charge of affairs. Who among these children can take charge of the situation?

Mrs. Sicily thought about this and couldn't help but feel that her thoughts had changed... She seemed to be treating these children more and more as her own children...

Chapter 11: We always tell our true reactions when we are filming

After the scene of Lady Sicily being assassinated ended, at the same time on the other side, Texas and Kong were also experiencing the feeling of being a "couple" as Chen Qi said.

For Texas and Sora, this experience was like a vacation. Everyone in Penguin Logistics was good friends and had organized many team-building activities. Therefore, Texas took this opportunity to take Sora to watch a very famous drama in Syracuse.

What Texas and Kong didn't know was that outside the theater, Chen Qi had already had the ghost filming team and the sound recording team lying in ambush and waiting nearby... Hoping for the best first reaction, Chen Qi was just waiting for Texas and Kong to come out and give a "performance" worthy of being called an "Actor" level.

Soon, Texas and Kong also walked out of the theater together. They looked in a good mood having just watched a play.

"This movie 'Two Old Razors' is really good, what do you think? ... Mike?"

Before Kong could even shout out the name of Texas, it was imperceptibly changed to the name of the "present" Texas.

This is also Chen Qi's requirement. Chen Qi has mentioned this requirement to everyone, that is, no matter where they are, they must call each other by the names in the plot. This is not only to allow everyone to integrate into their roles more quickly, but also Chen Qi's own intention.

"Now the entire city will be our shooting location. In order to achieve the best shooting effect, I may do some shooting at any time without you noticing."

"So, if you encounter some unexpected events that are not in the script, this is normal. You can of course act according to your first reaction. This is also the performance we want in the camera."

"My only request is that no matter how nervous you are, you all remember your relationships in the movie and use the names in the movie to address each other. If there are NGs, many performances that were originally perfect may be greatly reduced in effect."

These were Chen Qi's words, so now Kong and Texas would call each other by the names in the movie when they were outside.

Sora's timely correction also made Texas realize this, and he spoke calmly:

"It is indeed a rare good play. It has not been back for many years. The writing style of the playwrights has indeed improved recently."

"I also want to be on a stage like this." Kong also held Texas's hand in a somewhat intimate manner. They are now in a "couple" relationship, but Kong originally liked to act with Texas, so it didn't seem abrupt.

In particular, Texas is now wearing men's makeup and men's clothing of the Texas family... The makeup artist named "Robilata" invited by Director Chen Qi is really talented. He can highlight the heroism of Texas, making people feel that he has suddenly become a man, but at the same time, people who are familiar with him can see that this is Texas.

The two girls walked happily down the street together. However, after passing a small newsstand, Sora's peripheral vision seemed to notice a familiar face in the newspaper, and her pupils slightly froze.

However, in the invisible camera behind the newspaper, what was recorded was that the originally happy Sora's face suddenly turned solemn after passing a newspaper.

"——Kai, you will definitely realize your dream, I believe in you." Facing Sora's expression changing, Texas, who didn't notice the newspaper due to the angle, also comforted her, but Sora immediately shook his head and grabbed her and said:

"No, look there..."

Sora dragged Texas back to the newsstand, and it was only then that Texas noticed the newspaper on the newspaper - printed on it was the familiar portrait of the Sicilian lady in costume.

Texas realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately grabbed a newspaper. The headline "Vito Corleone Murdered" in large letters that were brighter than Mrs. Sicily's portrait immediately attracted Texas' attention and made her breathing slightly faster.

"It doesn't say whether he's dead or alive—"

Texas muttered to herself and subconsciously closed the newspaper a little roughly. At this moment, she suddenly realized that this newspaper was probably just a prop. This was what Director Chen Qi said, that filming could happen at any time.

However, in the camera, Texas's rough work at the beginning and her sudden calmness now perfectly show her calm thinking which is different from her eldest brother (Shiye)'s violent temper and her second sister (Giovanna)'s cowardly appearance.

Almost immediately, Texas pulled up and walked towards a telephone booth nearby. Regardless of whether she was acting or not, she had to call Siye first to confirm the news to avoid any accidents.

Texas entered the phone booth first, but Sora had to stand outside due to the limited space in the phone booth.

This couple, who were so in love a minute ago, now seemed to be from two different worlds.

Kong also had the same feeling, her expression was a little bit sad, and in the phone booth, Texas also called Shiye and asked quickly:

"Sonny, this is Mike."

Siye: "Mike? Are you okay?"

"Is he okay?" Texas felt relieved when he heard Siye call him like that, which meant that all this was indeed a plot arrangement and Lady Sicily was not really assassinated.

Thinking back... If it was true, the atmosphere in the city would be extremely tense. Texas regained his composure, and Siye's deep voice sounded on the phone:

"Father was badly injured. Are you okay Mike? We are all worried about you."

"I'm fine." Texas raised her head slightly, and at this moment, she found that not far from the telephone booth, there was a sign held high by someone - it was a signpost.

"Go to the hospital now, and play this plot as you like. Just make the judgment you think is most correct. - Chen Qi"

So the next scene is in the hospital? Texas withdrew his gaze without leaving a trace, then put down the phone. After telling Kong to go home first, he ran towards the hospital alone.

Soon after Texas left, the originally quiet streets suddenly became filled with many figures and equipment. Ethan, who was in charge of filming here, breathed a sigh of relief and said happily:

"This time, we've captured a lot of good shots, which should satisfy the big director."

"So, the hospital scene is the regicide scene. The chief photographer is on standby there. I hope we can get it right in one go this time."

……

When Texas rushed to the hospital by car, the sky had already darkened completely. As soon as Texas arrived at the hospital entrance, he noticed a very critical problem - there were no guards.

Even if it was acting, it was impossible that there were no guards around the mafia boss after he was assassinated. Director Chen Qi would never make such a mistake because such a mistake would definitely be pointed out by Mrs. Sicily.

Texas observed for a while and found various signs and details indicating that there were guards here originally, but now there were no guards here at all. Texas quickly came to the conclusion.

Someone bribed the guards, and the assassination of the Godfather is not over yet!

After Texas made his judgment, he rushed to the ward area immediately and quickly fixed his eyes on the only room with a bouquet of flowers at the door. That was definitely where Mrs. Sicily was.

Texas pushed the door open carefully. She didn't know what the next plot would be. Chen Qi asked her to act freely... So she was worried that if she opened the door and saw Mrs. Sicily being shot, she wouldn't know what to do.

"Click."

When Texas opened the door, what he saw was not a bloody scene - Mrs. Sicily was lying there unharmed, the IV tube was still giving her blood, and she was sleeping soundly.

Seeing this, Texas breathed a sigh of relief. She walked up to Lady Sicily and looked at the old lady who looked much older after being assassinated...

"——What are you doing here? It's not visiting hours now."

The sudden voice made Texas subconsciously put her hands on her waist, but when she saw that it was a nurse, she calmed down and said lightly:

"I'm Michael Corleone, and this is my father."

"There's no one guarding here, where are they?"

Nurse: "Your father has too many visitors. They are interfering with the work of the hospital. The police asked them to leave ten minutes ago."

"I know..." Texas' eyes turned slightly cold. The information revealed by this nurse was enough... The police had been bribed by the people who assassinated him, and it was the police who asked the guards to withdraw.

When he thought of this, Texas immediately picked up the landline next to the ward. After a while of dialing numbers, Texas immediately said to Siye on the other end of the phone:

"Sonny, I'm in the hospital. I'm late. There's no one here, no guards, no police. Dad is alone in the ward."

"——I didn't panic."

After a brief conversation, Texas immediately hung up the phone. After thinking for a while, she said to the nurse, "Miss Nurse, you have to help me transfer him to another room. We have to remove the tube before we can move the bed."

"But..." The nurse was about to say something, but Texas didn't give her a chance. His eyes became sharp and he said word by word:

"You know who he is, right? Someone's out to kill him, and if their plan succeeds because of your mistake, you won't be able to escape responsibility - so help me, okay?"

Although this part of the plot was performed on the spot by Texas, it is almost the same as Chen Qi's script. Texas also possesses the calmness and reconnaissance ability that Mike possesses.

In fact, Texas is even colder and more powerful than Mike - if she is no longer a member of the family, the future Texas may become a more cruel existence than the character she plays.

……

"Texas is more ferocious than I thought."

In the backstage, Sora and Lapland were watching Texas' performance on the large screen with equipment feedback.

Sora seemed a little frightened by Texas's reaction, but Laplande smiled and replied:

"This is the Texas I knew before. She feels like she's coming back a little bit."

"Ah, it seems that something has gone wrong. Madam Sicily's hand was caught in the door. Is that okay?" Lapland noticed this with a sly look in her eyes. When she asked Chen Qi about it, she found that Chen Qi was still busy with the next arrangement:

"Now that we're here, Croissant, Angel of Exorcism, are you ready?"

"Are you really going to do this, Director? Am I really going to punch Texas?"

In the intercom, Angel's voice sounded a little worried, but also a little excited. Chen Qi smiled slightly and said lightly:

"If you want to fight, even though there are some things I shouldn't say, it's best not to show mercy, so that you can achieve the best results. But if you want to be gentle, that's fine too, Texas should understand that."

"It's okay if you hit him too hard. Our medical operators are nearby and can heal Texas in no time, so don't worry."

“——Okay, since the director said so, I won’t be polite!”

After that, Chen Qi didn't care about what the Angel said on the intercom, such as "It's a rare opportunity to play Texas openly" and "Should I go harder or lighter later?"

Because the harder Exiah hits now, the more devoted Texas will be when she hits back at her later, and in this way, she can contribute two more perfect shots.

...Should we not tell him? Lapland saw that Chen Qi's attention was not here now. When he thought about seeing Texas being beaten, he ignored the fact that Lady Sicily's hand was pinched and focused on the big screen.

"Texas... Let me see how much of your temper this scene can bring back."

Chapter 12: This punch is somewhat personal
