On the set, filming is still going on.

Liu Qianqian looked at Zhang Yuan and felt resentful.

"Why did I have such a big reaction when he kissed me?"

"But when I kissed him, he didn't react at all!"

How could she understand?

She was well protected by her mother and has never experienced the world.

But Zhang Yuan is different. Apart from the second floor of the bath city, of course, that was all for socializing, socializing... There are two women he has had intimate relationships with in his life alone. Let alone kissing them on the cheek, he may not blush even if he does.

"Hmph!" Xixi snorted in her heart.

"I won't pay any attention to him anymore."

She was feeling awkward, but the next scene had already been arranged, and when the sound of the clapboard was heard, the shooting officially began.

This scene follows the previous one. After the two kissed each other on the cheek, Li Xiaoyao, who couldn't hold back, was about to step forward and kiss the other party's lips, but the grandmother played by Zheng Peipei suddenly broke in. When she was about to teach the little thief a lesson, she recognized that the other party was the Xiaoyao hero who led herself and Ling'er to escape from southern Xinjiang 10 years ago.

This part of the plot is a conclusion. Just like the game, the true story of the whole incident is not revealed until the very end.

Speaking of it, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" can be considered an early time-travel theme.

Still in the same scene, Zhang Yuan and Liu Qianqian stood opposite each other, their eyes fixed on each other.

Just now, I secretly decided in my heart that I must give Zhang Yuan a bad look in the future to avenge him for his disrespect just now.

But after the filming started, and after looking at Zhang Yuan again, his heart, which had just hardened a little, immediately softened again.

Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes and moved cautiously, as if he had made up his mind, and slowly approached Xixi's lips.

"call……"

Sissi couldn't help but take a deep breath and hold it tightly, not daring to move at all.

At the same time, the upper eyelids continued to droop slightly, as if they wanted to close their eyes involuntarily.

The two people were very close to each other, only about 30 centimeters apart.

Now that Zhang Yuan is closer, there are only about 10 centimeters left.

Xixi could clearly feel every breath of Zhang Yuan.

And Zhang Yuan could hear every heartbeat of Xixi.

"Why is it getting faster and faster..." Zhang Yuan only heard the heavy thumps coming from the other party's left chest.

Just when Xixi clenched her fists, at a loss as to what to do, Director Wu spoke at the right time.

"Cut! This game is over."

Huh... Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, yet at the same time felt a little regretful.

"If only it were a few seconds later..."

After the scene is adjusted, the performance begins immediately.

Zhang Yuan and Liu Qianqian stood in front of the camera, posing as if they were about to kiss. Then teacher Zheng Peipei suddenly stepped forward, pulled open the large wooden cabinet made by the props team, and pulled Li Xiaoyao out.

"What a courage!"

Zhang Yuan only felt that the collar in front of his neck was grabbed tightly by a powerful arm, and in an instant, he was led away several steps by the other party.

As expected, she is a fighter and her skills are far beyond what ordinary actresses can compare to.

"She even said on the show that she was just a show-off."

"Even if it's just a showpiece, it's still much better than the average person."

The generation gap between people and between eras is huge.

Just like when Andy Lau was interviewed and was praised for being dedicated, he said that being punctual and memorizing lines have always become manifestations of professionalism. Aren’t these the most basic qualities of an actor?

I'm afraid the same is true for Teacher Zheng Peipei.

She said she was just a show-off, but that depends on who she was compared with.

This person knew Bruce Lee and they had tea together in Hong Kong in their early years.

Bruce Lee was very famous, and a group of fans immediately gathered around him.

Brother Long is a madman who loves to show off, so he asked Zheng Peipei to hit him with all her strength to show how muscular he is and to show off in front of his fans.

In the end, Zheng Peipei didn't have the courage to take action.

But she was in her prime at that time, and most people would not have the confidence to let her take action.

So later on, Zheng Peipei always said that only Bruce Lee had real kung fu.

Zhang Yuan has always believed that the scene in Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" where the actor was beaten until he vomited blood after being provoked by the farming aunt, should have been based on the past events of Bruce Lee and Zheng Peipei. After all, the two had worked together in "Flirting Scholar", and Stephen Chow especially loves to make fun of real stories of acquaintances.

Therefore, the fancy moves that Zheng Peipei mentions can probably defeat 99% of the female stars in the entertainment industry.

The moment she attacked, Zhang Yuan almost instinctively took a defensive stance.

Fortunately, he suppressed himself in time and turned around to act like a cowardly gangster who was caught doing bad things.

"How dare you..." Teacher Zheng said this, and suddenly looked at Zhang Yuan's face with his eyes full of shock.

Then she knelt down without hesitation, kowtowed three times to Zhang Yuan, and muttered something.

"My benefactor, we finally meet!"

"My benefactor..."

The richness of emotions and the naturalness of expressions make him worthy of the title of veteran actor.

"Cut! Change angle." the director called out.

Teacher Zheng Peipei stood up, straightened her clothes, and stood up easily with just a little effort from her legs, without having to use her arms for support at all.

"After so many years, I haven't lost any of my skills..."

Zhang Yuan thought to himself that this woman was in good health. You know, she had been pregnant eight times, had four miscarriages, and finally gave birth to four sons for her ex-husband.

Even so, she is still energetic. If it were another woman, she would not even be able to straighten her back.

While the camera crew was adjusting the camera position, Teacher Zheng went aside to drink some water and take a break.

Zhang Yuan came up to her solemnly.

"Teacher Zheng Peipei."

"Ah?" Zheng Peipei put down the cup and looked up at him: "What's the matter?"

"Stand still." Zhang Yuan said, his knees softened, and he knelt in front of the other person.

There are quite a lot of people on the set.

In addition to the director and cameraman and other crew members, "on-site supervisor" Liu Xiaoli, Hu Ge who was hiding in the corner to learn, and Liu Qianqian who was touching her cheek and smiling foolishly were all nearby.

Seeing Zhang Yuan kneel down with a thud, everyone present was stunned.

Zheng Peipei, who was closest to the scene, was startled, but was also the first to react. She then smiled and did not raise her hand to stop it.

When director Wu Jingyuan saw this, he had an idea.

"Could it be that he has been hit by the Smiling Half-Step Madness..." Director Wu shook his head, shaking off the sense of déjà vu of Mrs. Hua from his thoughts.

"Teacher Zheng Peipei knows Kung Fu. Could it be that she just tested Zhang Yuan's skills and was knocked down by him in one go?"

"Wouldn't Zhang Yuan be embarrassed in public?"

"If he gets upset, won't it affect the filming?"

Director Wu was nervous, and Zhang Yuan, like Zheng Peipei in the previous scene, bowed three times respectfully and then stood up steadily.

"Okay!" Zheng Peipei nodded, then held his shoulders and came to the side. "Oh..." Director Wu finally responded.

"Zheng Peipei is an elder. She just kowtowed to Zhang Yuan in the play."

"He gave it back."

Showbiz is a very superstitious place.

In addition to covering the camera with red cloth to ward off evil spirits, once an actor plays a deceased person in a film, he or she will receive a red envelope from the crew, even if there is only one dollar in it. This is called "rushing for happiness".

The same applies if you use a photo as a portrait when visiting the grave, you will receive a red envelope.

There is a man named Sean Bean in Hollywood, who played Eddard Stark in "A Song of Ice and Fire" and was beheaded at the end of the first season.

This well-known supporting actor died 21 times in various film and television dramas. Whenever he appeared in a movie, Zhang Yuan would start folding gold ingots and prepare to burn paper.

If Hollywood also had the rule of giving red envelopes, this person would probably be able to buy a house.

In contrast, the Oscar-winning actor Matt Damon, who plays Ryan in "Saving Private Ryan", has been in the industry for 19 years and has been rescued 8 times in movies, with a total cost of more than 7 million US dollars, which is exactly the opposite of Uncle Sean.

There are old rules for giving red envelopes and returning the favor.

Like Andy Lau, Brother Hua often thanks the crew and kneels down on various occasions.

When he played the role of an emperor or a high official, after the performance he would return the kowtows of the extras and would also kneel down to them.

Because the older generation of actors feel that they are just ordinary people and cannot afford such gifts from others.

Including Mr. Wang Xueqi, who played the emperor for the first time in the later TV series "The Glory of the Tang Dynasty". His performance was extremely brilliant in portraying the tough emperor who launched the Jingnan Rebellion.

When he finished filming, he also bowed his head to all the extras who had bowed to him every day in the play, and knelt down and kowtowed in public to return the greeting.

No matter how famous Andy Lau is or how capable Wang Xueqi is, they both know that they cannot afford to be worshipped by others and they have to pay it forward.

Is Zhang Yuan worthy of the kneeling worship of Zheng Peipei, an old senior?
Moreover, according to the customs in many parts of China, if the younger generation is bowed to by their elders, their life span will be shortened.

In addition, we have to consider Zhang Yuan’s background... In his previous life, he worked on a construction site, which is also a hot spot for feudal superstition.

Once, it rained continuously for more than a month at the construction site. There were two rare sunny days. Just after the water was pumped out, it started raining again.

The project was suspended and progress was extremely slow until Zhao Decai invited a Feng Shui master.

A few days later, a huge red stone weighing more than a ton appeared on the roof of the tallest building under construction at the construction site, with the words "Taishan Shi Gan Dang" written on it.

The rain stopped on the day the stone was in place... Of course, it could also be that the rainy season just ended, no one can tell.

It is also like the Lisboa Hotel in Macau, which looks like a birdcage, implying that the gamblers entering are birds in a cage. It is a top-notch wealth-making array.

There are countless similar legends.

"I didn't expect that you, at such a young age, still understand these rules." Zheng Peipei looked Zhang Yuan up and down carefully again. The more she looked, the more she felt that he was full of heroic spirit and extraordinary appearance.

[Received thanks from Zheng Peipei, physical fitness +1, martial arts skills +1! ]

In the years since her comeback, it is rare to see such a humble young person.

His acting is not bad, he can even be called excellent among his peers, and at the same time he is humble and modest, these two things combined...

Zheng Peipei thought to herself, with this kind of temperament and ability, he will achieve great things in the future!

She glanced at Hu Ge in the corner, with whom she had worked before.

"No wonder he can be the protagonist, that guy can only play a supporting role."

"Hu Ge is too frivolous in his actions and behavior. Compared with Zhang Yuan, he is indeed far inferior."

Liu Xiaoli, who was standing by, only reacted when she heard the director's muttering.

"I see……"

On the crew, she always treats Zhang Yuan and other young actors as elders.

She thought about how she had great respect for her teachers and seniors back then.

Just like when she met Zheng Peipei just now, the other party was considered her senior in the dance world, so she had to communicate with the other party with the same respect as she would her own teacher.

If she viewed it from the perspective of an elder, Zhang Yuan's return of courtesy was certainly very much to her liking.

"Even when he was acting, he never forgot his elders. He is a pretty good person."

"that is……"

She looked at her daughter who was touching her face and smiling foolishly, and shook her head helplessly.

At the same time, Hu Ge in the corner was stunned for a long time, then hurriedly took out his notebook, bit off the pen cap, and started writing quickly.

"There is no distinction between the senior and junior in the play, but outside the play, there are rules to be followed, and we must respect our predecessors..."

At night, inside the crew.

The filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was not easy either, as there were still scenes to be filmed in the evening.

The love scene had just been finished, and while the emotions were still coherent, the director immediately arranged the wedding ceremony and bridal chamber scenes.

In front of the camera, Zheng Peipei was combing the hair of Liu Qianqian, who was wearing a pure white gauze dress and had long hair like a waterfall.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuan was a little dazed for a moment.

"Twenty years later, in Mulan, it seems that Zheng Peipei and Liu Xixi are together."

However, the women in that movie all had makeup on like ghosts, even Sissi’s makeup was all white and yellow.

It's rare to see a makeup look that she can't pull off.

"These two grandparents are really destined to be together."

From the wedding ceremony to the bridal chamber, there is also a scene of escaping from marriage.

But time is limited, so the crew is shooting indoor scenes today.

After teacher Zheng Peipei finished putting makeup on Xixi, it was their turn for their bridal chamber scene.

It was after this scene that Li Xiaoyao triggered the classic operation of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and made Zhao Linger pregnant with Li Yiru.

Zhang Yuan and Liu Qianqian were lying on a large bed decorated in bright red. The camera was hung upside down in the air, filming from top to bottom.

Liu Xiaoli in the distance worked tirelessly and was still present.

Although it was a movie shoot, my daughter experienced a series of major life events in one day, including meeting her lover, getting married, and entering the bridal chamber.

She looked at all this and seemed to see herself when she was younger.

On the big bed, Zhang Yuan and Xixi looked at each other for the Nth time in several days.

At this time, Xixi had long forgotten the plan of making a grim face and looked at him with a smile.

"I'll tell you right away what the worst thing is." Zhang Yuan turned his head, looked into Xixi's innocent eyes, and spoke word by word.

Then he lifted the quilt and covered both of them.

"Card!"

Director Wu called for a stop and looked at the monitor, saying excitedly.

"Our crew made the right choice by choosing them!"

"Just looking at this scene makes me feel sweet. It's so sweet that my diabetes is almost flaring up."

"Yeah, I even want to take insulin." the assistant director at the side continued.

"These two are so suitable to play Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger, really good." Director Wu thought that if every actor in the crew was so suitable for the role, then the filming of the play would be much smoother.

But the next day, a crack appeared in his newly-minted idea.

Looking at An Yixuan, who was standing in the flower field and playing the innocent girl Anu, director Wu Jingyuan scratched his head vigorously.

"I always feel like something is wrong..." (End of this chapter)
