Chapter 65: It

The two of them hadn't even entered the door when they bumped into Li Luo head-on.

The latter was holding a pair of slippers, walking out of the dressing room while looking left and right.

"Sister Jingwen."

He greeted Jia Jingwen first, then his gaze moved past her to the woman standing behind her, who was wearing a light blue dress and had fake scars applied to her face: "Hello, Jiang Xuejie Chen. What are you two doing?"

Both women remained silent, instead looking at him with questions written all over their faces.

You brat, how dare you turn the question back on us!

"Oh."

Li Luo realized something and shook his head with a smile: "Small matter, let me handle it first."

"Props, wardrobe, or production assistant?"

He didn't know which department the person holding the walkie-talkie behind him belonged to, but they were definitely a staff member. He beckoned and called the person over: "Can we play a trivia game?"

"Huh?"

The staff member looked completely bewildered.

Jia Jingwen and Chen Zihan were also confused, having no idea what kind of mischief he was up to.

"What kind of show are we filming?"

Li Luo didn't wait for the other party to agree before asking the first question.

"Period drama?"

The staff member answered tentatively.

"Very good."

Nodding in satisfaction, Li Luo thrust the leather sandals in his hand toward the person: "Congratulations, you got it right. But can you explain why I'm being given leather sandals to wear for a period drama?"

"Do you see what this is?"

"Metal buckles!!!"

Just yesterday, he was still watching the show.

He never expected that today, he would become the one in the show.

As soon as he finished changing his clothes, he saw a pair of leather sandals placed to the side.

Li Luo instantly recalled a similarly eyesore-inducing scene where Su Youpeng wore leather sandals while running around in the show, fighting all sorts of martial arts experts—it was incredibly jarring!

He couldn't help but kick them away, which caused the commotion just now.

Seeing the pair of modern sandals Li Luo was holding, the two women who had come over to watch the spectacle couldn't help but laugh; it was indeed too ridiculous.

"Alright."

Li Luo patted the staff member on the shoulder and shoved the leather sandals into his hands: "Please go help me exchange these for a pair of distressed cloth boots. Whoever wants to wear these leather sandals can have them, but I'm certainly not wearing them."

"Go exchange them."

Jia Jingwen shook her head and waved her hand, signaling: "Hurry up."

With her stepping in to smooth things over, the staff member took the jarring modern sandals and hurried away.

"Sorry."

Li Luo spread his hands: "I didn't mean to drag you two into this."

"It's nothing."

Chen Zihan shook her head quickly.

She couldn't very well admit she had come over just to watch the drama.

"Jiang Xuejie Chen."

His gaze fell back onto Chen Zihan, and he said cheerfully: "You're officially joining the crew today, right? Then I'll have to trouble you later."

Actually, she should be called Chen Shasha now; she was from the Beijing Film Academy Class of '94.

In *Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre*, she played the role of Yin Li.

It seemed she joined the crew through a connection with Lai Shuiqing. Later, she would constantly play supporting female roles in various crews, her career rising steadily, but just as she was about to make a push for a lead role, a set of racy photos extinguished her dreams.

The thong and the 'eight-character' pose in those photos were truly jaw-dropping.

They left a deep impression on him.

"That's right."

Chen Zihan shook the hand he extended, a hint of confusion on her face: "I don't quite understand what you mean?"

"You should know what scene we're filming today, right?" Looking at the girl's somewhat slender frame, Li Luo shrugged and smiled: "I'm not exactly light, so I hope you can hold on."

"You're joking."

Rolling up her sleeves, Chen Zihan proudly displayed her fair arms: "Don't underestimate me, I'm actually quite strong."

Although she was wearing ancient clothing that didn't show off her figure,

as her sleeves rolled up, one could still see that she had hidden strength.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Li Luo recalled the photos he had seen in the past and couldn't help but glance at her chest, giving a thumbs up at the same time:

"I wouldn't dare underestimate you, Jiang Xuejie Chen. You're definitely big."

A harsh scraping sound against the ground rang out.

The ugly-looking girl struggled to hold onto the bamboo handle, walking forward drenched in sweat, the cloth straps digging deep into her shoulders; it was clear she was bearing a tremendous weight.

The girl pulled and dragged.

Behind her, on a small bamboo sled, lay a disheveled-looking youth.

Unlike the girl, who was so tired her steps were staggering, the youth's expression held a hint of comfort, even though he had already been dragged back and forth several times!

"Whoa~~~"

"The ugly girl is pulling the ugly monster!!!"

"Oh~"

"Ugly monster!"

Several children clapped their small hands and gathered around to jeer.

Pedestrians and merchants at the city gate also gathered around, pointing and whispering at the two people who looked exceptionally disheveled.

"Keep moving."

Li Luo waved his arm weakly: "Nothing to see here."

"Go away~~~"

Chen Zihan swallowed hard, panting heavily as she shouted: "Hurry up and leave, stop watching!!!"

"Hoo~"

After shouting a few times, she gritted her teeth and dragged forward again.

Damn it, she never realized that guy was so heavy; this scene had already been filmed several times.

She felt like she couldn't even catch her breath.

The scene currently being filmed was after Zhang Wuji, who had broken his legs, secretly intervened to save Zhu'er; the two were fleeing toward a nearby town to avoid the pursuit of the Lianhuan Manor Master, Wu Lie.

It was also in this place.

That the several major female leads met Zhang Wuji for the first time after he grew up.

"They're just children."

Li Luo was already at ease with such simple scenes; he smiled and turned his head to the side: "You shouldn't be so fierce with them!"

That was Zhang Wuji's personality.

After experiencing all sorts of hardships, he would only appear calm and indifferent when faced with such mockery.

He wouldn't feel dissatisfied because of it.

"I'm annoyed!" Chen Zihan panted a few times, then turned to drive away the children jeering on the side: "Hurry up and leave, or I'll beat you."

Under the constant waving and signaling of the assistant director on the side,

the extras finally hopped away.

"That's a wrap."

After tossing about for over half an hour, Lai Shuiqing was satisfied with the take.

Seeing Chen Zihan, who was so tired she couldn't even straighten her back, he decisively adjusted the filming schedule forward: "Ye Jing, you come film the scene of riding a horse into the city. Li Luo and Zihan, go take a break first."

"No problem."

Ye Jing walked out from the tent on the side.

He was also from the Beijing Film Academy.

He played the cold-blooded killer Ning Wei in *Blood-Colored Romance* quite well, but in *Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre*, he played the infatuated young prince who licked until the very end only to end up with nothing, even losing his life.

"Are you alright?"

Li Luo looked at Chen Zihan, who was drenched in sweat.

"I'm fine."

The latter took a few deep breaths and, with Li Luo's support, walked staggeringly toward the tent.

"Drink some water first."

Gao Yuanyuan handed over a bottle of mineral water and said enviously: "You acted really well just now, you expressed that feeling perfectly!"

"Thanks."

Plopping down into a chair, Chen Zihan said with a wry smile: "I was purely exhausted; it's a miracle I could remember my lines. Do you want to go try carrying that bamboo sled and dragging Li Luo to see how heavy it is?"

The assistant on the side hurriedly stepped forward to fan her with a cattail fan.

Her damp hair fluttered along with it.

If one ignored the fake scars on her face, she was truly a beauty through and through. ===== CHAPTER 66 =====
