The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 67: War Horse Neighing



Chapter 67

Director Feng Kai Ji watched the footage on the monitor, his heart skipping a beat.

The look in her eyes was so spot on!

Next, the extras went on one by one.

The enemy soldiers in armor collided with the soldiers guarding the city, fighting fiercely.

Beside them was the constant clashing and clanking of combat, the glare of blades meeting.

The female lead, in a red dress, casually picked up a long sword from the ground.

It was a prop prepared by the props team, unsharpened.

Otherwise it would be too dangerous!

Nan Xiangwan weighed the long sword in her hand, the corners of her lips curving into a smile.

The fair skin of her arms under her bridal dress whipped out the long sword!

In that moment,

Hatred, country, and love

intertwined together!

"Good!" Director Feng Kaiji shouted excitedly.

Nan Xiangwan's sword dance was great. She knew this shooting was not about real swordplay, the focus was on the dance.

So she used the Dance Mastery skill rewarded by the system.

It was classical dance!

Plus she already had a foundation in swordwork, the feeling was simply amazing, completely integrating with the theme of the MV!

The cinematographer didn't even need to specifically adjust the framing, no matter how it was filmed, no matter how many people were around, no matter how chaotic the set was.

The female lead in red, sword dancing and killing the enemy, was able to attract everyone's eyes!

The visuals were really great!

Sword dancing and killing the enemy was not simple to film. In addition to getting the moves right, and occasionally bursting blood packs to appear more realistic,

the most important thing was the female lead's expression!

Fortunately, what Nan Xiangwan was thinking of at this time was her cousin.

She was very sad.

She would never see her cousin again, her cousin would never wait for her triumphant return.

That feeling of drifting thoughts and longing, and the despair of being forever separated across two worlds.

It made Nan Xiangwan's expression in this moment perfect!

Projecting the despair and grief in her eyes completely!

Director Feng Kaiji excitedly stomped his feet on the spot.

This Nan Xiangwan really acted too well!

Too good!

A genius!

Finally, the scene where the male lead appears came up.

In fact, Gu Beihuai had been frowning and watching from the side since Nan Xiangwan went up to the city tower.

He knew that Nan Xiangwan was just a high school student at this time. The richest life experience she had was failing to get into military school and instead becoming a trainee idol.

Normally speaking, it was impossible for her to convey such emotions of life and death parting.

So

Gu Beihuai was a little surprised, and his heart ached slightly.

What happened to her?

Beside, Director Feng Kaiji urged: "Hurry, hurry, it's your scene Gu Beihuai!"

The camera panned.

Gu Beihuai, dressed in general's armor, galloped in on horseback from afar.

He did not bring troops, but came alone on horseback!

The camera zoomed in, clearly capturing the anxiety and resentment on the male lead's face.

At this moment, the sun was just setting, sinking in the west.

The glow of the setting sun shone on the male lead's shiny armor, coating it with a layer of light.

He desperately rode his horse forward, all the way to the foot of the city.

But alas,

the city gates were broken.

The enemy troops had rushed in!

The city was filled with corpses, like a hell on earth!

On the ancient tower, the female lead's hands trembled uncontrollably, unable to grasp the sword.

She was covered in blood, blending with her red dress, indistinguishable between blood and clothes.

And her chest, was stabbed with a huge hole.

Gushing blood nonstop.

In this final moment of life, she saw Gu Beihuai galloping from afar in the glow of the setting sun.

But

although she had waited for her fiancé to arrive, she did not receive the favor of the gods.

It was all over.

Nan Xiangwan closed her eyes, the long sword in her hand clattering to the ground.

Her body unstable, she swayed forward.

Plummeting straight down from the height of the ancient tower!

On set

"Fuck! Wait a minute! You didn't tell her the falling scene comes later?"

"Fuck don't let anything happen!" "Hurry, hurry!"

"It's too late to hurry, call an ambulance!"

"From this height..."

Director Feng Kaiji was so frightened he nearly fainted.

Falling from this height, wouldn't that be certain death?

Just as everyone was shocked.

Gu Beihuai suddenly whipped his horse.

Charging forward!

In the critical moment, Gu Beihuai stretched out both hands, and fiercely caught the falling girl!

This instant was extremely dangerous!

The photographer captured the entire scene.

The red blood dress and golden armor blended together!

The warhorse neighed!

Director Feng Kaiji even forgot to call cut, he was scared witless.

Cheng Xue and Lang Hu rushed over immediately, they were also scared to death.

Gu Beihuai's hands were also shaking.

Just now his heart nearly jumped out. If not for the perfect distance, if not for his quick reflexes.

This little girl would have crashed into the ground!

Thinking of this, Gu Beihuai was really angry.

Why didn't she follow the director's arrangements when filming?

Who told you to jump down on your own!

But looking down.

Gu Beihuai was stunned.

The little girl in his arms was grasping his clothes tightly, her jet black pupils reflecting a hint of grievance.

That look

Gu Beihuai's heart instantly melted, he couldn't bring himself to scold her.

Nan Xiangwan: "I'm hungry."

She didn't fall on purpose just now. She got a little dizzy from hunger after the intense sword dance scene.

The crew was rushing to film, the scene of the male lead returning at sunset was actually supposed to be tomorrow's shoot.

Who knew they finished the morning scenes so smoothly, so they moved it up.

As a result, lunch hadn't been arranged.

If not for the 20 meat buns she had in the morning, she would have starved long ago!

At this time Cheng Xue rushed over, and pulled Nan Xiangwan from Gu Beihuai's arms.

Cheng Xue cried anxiously, hugging Nan Xiangwan tightly.

"You scared me to death wahhh Boss wahhh!"

Sobbing uncontrollably!

Lang Hu was also scared stiff. He looked Nan Xiangwan up and down, then glanced at Gu Beihuai.

Lang Hu: "Mr. Gu, are you alright?"

Gu Beihuai, feeling suddenly empty-handed, spoke impatiently: "A manager isn't omnipotent. Nan Xiangwan doesn't even have an assistant, does she?"

Cheng Xue's crying stopped. Only then did she react.

What did Gu Beihuai mean by that?

At this time Nan Xiangwan stood there blankly.

Her stomach growled!

Grumble grumble grumble!

Cheng Xue's eyes widened, her expression truly comical.

Gu Beihuai rubbed his temples: "She's this hungry! Forget it, I'll take her to eat."

Having said that, he dismounted from the horse and took off his armor.

Nan Xiangwan's eyes lit up. Finally she could eat!

She immediately followed Gu Beihuai.

Cheng Xue watched dumbfounded at the spot, completely stunned.

She got led away just like that?

For a meal?

Beside, Lang Hu said sarcastically: "Humph! Your own boss was so hungry she fell off a tower! Some manager you are!"

Cheng Xue flushed red with embarrassment. But she also knew this was her own negligence, she had assumed those 20 meat buns were lunch.

Who knew that was just a snack to Nan Xiangwan's appetite.
