Chapter 729

The news that "Gu Cheng took Jin Li away overnight to the Daoist temple to avoid disaster" could not be hidden from the crew.

The two packed their luggage and, before leaving, specifically went to greet Director Zheng Chengxin.

The director was originally very puzzled by their behavior; why would they run out of the crew overnight for no reason?

Until Gu Cheng threw out a classic theory, a theory that only Chinese people understand:

"As soon as she entered the crew, she encountered a prop accident and collapse. I feel she was entangled by something unclean and wants to go avoid the disaster."

Zheng Chengxin: ...

It would be fine if you didn't say it, but once you said it, I also felt like I wanted to go avoid the disaster.

Not to mention, once these words were out, it felt like the surroundings were a bit eerie, and the air suddenly dropped a few degrees.

Wouldn't he also be entangled by something unclean?

Zheng Chengxin recited "Fu Sheng Wu Liang Tian Zun" several times in his heart, and remembered that he had brought a consecrated jade pendant, so he dug it out overnight and wore it.

This reason is too powerful.

Zheng Chengxin was silent for a moment and said: "No need to rush back very early tomorrow; I'll move both of your scenes to the afternoon."

Gu Cheng pondered: "Let's talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow. After the crew's props are made, most of them haven't undergone quality inspection. I'm afraid you won't have finished checking them by tomorrow."

"Especially the props related to science fiction, I haven't worn many of them on my body. I suspect those props aren't something people can wear at all."

"I saw those props when I came, and I mentioned it to you a few times, but you thought they could definitely be worn. Now it seems, I really don't think so."

"Tomorrow, find someone to try on the props first to see if they can really be worn. If it really doesn't work, we can only buy a 3D printer."

Jin Li had been listening to the conversation between the two silently without saying a word.

It wasn't until the two got into the car that she asked: "You've always felt the crew's props had problems."

Gu Cheng shook his head: "No, my intuition isn't as accurate as yours, but after entering the crew, I always felt something was wrong."

"But except for the prop problem, other parts of the crew are quite standardized, especially with the deputy director here, the finance side is managed quite strictly, and many chaotic phenomena haven't appeared."

"Everyone is working very diligently. If you hadn't appeared tonight and noticed the bamboo building had problems, I wouldn't have thought of the props."

He paused, "Thinking about it now, the crew's props might have quite a few problems."

Hit the nail on the head!

They stayed overnight at the Daoist temple, and Jin Li went to worship the gods late at night. Her body returned to normal and she no longer had a fever.

Her complexion looked much better.

Early the next morning, everyone woke up and packed their things, preparing to return to the crew.

However, they decided to have breakfast at the Daoist temple first.

During this time, the assistant asked the field manager many times whether the problems on the scene had been solved.

But the field manager never answered.

Chen Qin asked Jin Li: "Should we call Director Zheng to ask about the situation?"

Jin Li shook her head: "I feel the crew might be overwhelmed and have no time to deal with us; we'd better wait."

They stayed at the Daoist temple until 12 noon before they learned a piece of news from the field manager, which was that the crew had been checking all the props made overnight since last night.

By the morning, some mecha props that needed to be worn were even tried on once.

As a result, many problems were discovered.

There were many small burrs inside the props that hadn't been scraped clean. After several people who tried them on put their bodies in, they were all scratched by the burrs.

Besides the burrs, there were some more serious reasons, which the field manager didn't disclose.

Some props collapsed as soon as they were worn, trapping the foot of a person who tried them on.

Because the foot couldn't come out, they almost called the police, but fortunately, it was finally resolved.

These inferior props were identified by the crew and are now undergoing emergency sorting.

Whatever needs to be done urgently is done urgently, and some that can be postponed are arranged later, ensuring that the filming progress is not delayed.

Gu Cheng received the news and said: "It seems we won't be able to return to the crew today; I don't know if we can return tomorrow."

Jin Li shrugged; she was very comfortable staying in the Daoist temple and was even a bit reluctant to leave.

It was a rare public-funded vacation, and she wanted to stay for a few more days.

As a result, the crew took another day off, and all actors returned to the crew on the third day.

After experiencing this prop problem, the atmosphere of the entire crew became much more serious.

Everyone didn't dare to play around, and didn't even dare to make their voices a little louder.

Under this atmosphere, Jin Li's scenes began filming!

The scene filmed today was the scene where Xiao Yue first met the male lead Yan Chu in the wild.

But this scene was not as romantic as everyone imagined, but full of crises.

The male lead Yan Chu was on the verge of life and death several times; if it weren't for Xiao Yue saving him time and time again, he might have already died several times.

Yes, the male lead's name is Yan Chu, and his ability is related to "initialization." It is a very powerful ability that can return various disasters and weirdness to their initial state.

That is, returning to a state that has just started and is very weak.

As long as the ability is more powerful, it can also invalidate all disasters and weirdness, returning to the origin before they were born.

But because this ability is too powerful, it can not only be used against weirdness, but also face natural disasters directly, and can even "primitive-ize" (invalidate) other ability users.

So this ability is very daunting, and the base also has the intention to suppress him, not letting this ability develop and become powerful.

Coupled with Yan Chu's immature exploration of his ability.

He rarely leaves the base, and the use of abilities is prohibited within the base, so he caused a bunch of trouble on his first adventure in the wild.

Precisely because of this, Xiao Yue's first impression of Yan Chu was not good, feeling he was very troublesome.

However, Xiao Yue had this attitude towards every newcomer.

All are trouble.

And Yan Chu didn't feel Xiao Yue was cold.

On the contrary, he felt Xiao Yue was too powerful.

He wanted to be friends with the strong and wanted to stick to Xiao Yue.

At first, Xiao Yue only thought his ability was to weaken the intensity of weirdness and natural disasters; this kind of weakening could only weaken it a little bit, so she didn't attach importance to his safety.

This instead allowed Yan Chu to get training.

Later, when they were about to return, the team encountered a sudden accident.

It was daytime then, and Xiao Yue's ability would only be incomparably powerful at night; it was very weak during the day, and she couldn't save her companions.

Just at this time, Yan Chu's ability erupted, eliminating this disaster in one fell swoop.

At this time, Xiao Yue knew that Yan Chu's ability was actually so powerful.

Before entering the base, Xiao Yue specifically said to Yan Chu: "Don't let people in the base know that your ability has awakened; you can prevent a large-scale disaster from happening."

"You are in a period of active ability, and your body has no consumption; those people just like to send people like you on high-risk missions."

"Remember, you must hide your talent."

This scene is the beginning of the male lead's heart for Xiao Yue, and it is also the beginning of the script.

How desperate "Desperate Counterattack" is, what the living environment of people is like in this situation, what society is like, and what human nature is like...

All are displayed before everyone.

So this scene is very important.

"Xiao Yue," played by Jin Li, is the first guide to lead the audience's perspective into this world.

Because of the prop incident, the crew had been serious for a long time, and the filming of Jin Li's scene attracted a lot of attention.

They hoped that a more cohesive and leading actor would appear, letting the crew sweep away the lifeless state.

"I wonder how Jin Li's acting is?"

"I heard that this inferior prop incident was discovered by Jin Li."

"I don't have any scenes this afternoon; I want to go to Group A to take a look."

"The scene will probably take two or three days to film. There are scenes with Jin Li and Gu Cheng, and I also want to see their rival scenes."

Not only the staff, but even other actors ran to Group A.

Lian Baozhi was one of them.

Her scenes didn't overlap with Jin Li's; after Xiao Yue goes offline, her character will come online.

Entering the crew early was just to feel the atmosphere.

Lian Baozhi got the role of the female second lead in "Desperate Counterattack"; although it was a villain, she cherished it.

Ever since she knew Jin Li had joined the crew, she also thought about whether she could run into Jin Li.

Who knew that the inferior prop incident would break out, and the crew simply stopped work for two days.

When it resumed, everyone was in a rush, the atmosphere was super serious, and Lian Baozhi was embarrassed to find Jin Li at this time.

On the way to Group A, she suddenly met Qiu Qiwen and couldn't help but be stunned.

Lian Baozhi asked proactively: "Are you also going to watch Jin Li's performance?"

She met Qiu Qiwen on a variety show; they weren't friends, just nodding acquaintances, occasionally able to chat a sentence or two.

Qiu Qiwen nodded, "You too?"

Lian Baozhi smiled and said: "Yes, there should be many actors going to watch."

Qiu Qiwen: "Well, they aren't convinced by Jin Li and all want to see Jin Li's strength."

Lian Baozhi glanced at Qiu Qiwen, "I didn't expect you to say it directly."

Qiu Qiwen said lightly: "I've worked with Jin Li; she was very spiritual when she first came into contact with acting."

Speaking of this, Qiu Qiwen was a bit forlorn.

Actually, at the beginning, when Jin Li just became popular again, her relationship with Jin Li was very good; they were friends who could talk about intimate things.

But when did this friendship slowly fade?

Maybe it was when she was kicked out of "Dream Builder" for leaking secrets in advance.

Or maybe it was later when she saw Jin Li getting closer and closer to Xu Wenwen, she was jealous and gradually reduced contact with Jin Li.

Or maybe it was watching Jin Li develop better and better, while she herself got worse and worse...

The beginning of a relationship can be very simple.

The fading of a relationship can also be very simple.

Arriving at Group A, the two found that many actors were already in place, and there were many staff members.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still actors filming in Group B, I'm afraid the entire crew would have gathered in Group A.

Jin Li was wearing a pure white dress, and her makeup and hairstyle were very simple, giving people a clean, pure, but also very fragile feeling.

Xiao Yue is the deputy captain of this wild exploration; the captain is called Wang Qi, and his ability is "mountain wall," which is suitable for defense.

The other team members' abilities all have their own strengths, with both attack and defense types.

This small team is very balanced and doesn't go to extremes.

In wild exploration, balanced teams are the most common.

Teams that only focus on a certain value might have a big harvest, but they are also more prone to accidents.

They went out this time to find a mutated plant.

This plant is related to the new type of armor developed by the base and might be able to enhance the armor's performance.

Outside the city, they were about to set off when they suddenly received a temporary mission.

Bring newcomers!

And bring three newcomers in a row!

People in the team: ...

Captain Wang Qi checked the newcomers' information and gasped.

"The average age is only 18. They sent people out as soon as they became adults, and they haven't even finished basic training. The base is too anxious."

A team member said: "Maybe they want them to die to reduce a batch of material consumption."

Another team member said: "Don't say that; if the newcomers can grow up quickly, they can become a living force and bring back more materials."

Xiao Yue, played by Jin Li, leaned against the city wall, silently looking into the distance.

She had read the original book; when Xiao Yue is calm, she always appears very melancholy, mysterious enough to make people want to explore and smooth out the sorrow between her brows.

Her appearance isn't the type that brings disaster to the country and the people, but she just gives people a sense of first love.

It was also by virtue of this temperament that she ranked NO.1 among the most beautiful female characters in "Desperate Counterattack."

The camera frequently swept towards Xiao Yue.

This wasn't directed by the director, but among the many camera performances, the silent Xiao Yue was the most eye-catching.

Acting is a profession that emphasizes fairness.

As long as your acting isn't good, no matter how beautiful your skin is, it's useless; you will only be scolded as a vase.

But acting is also a very unreasonable profession.

Because some people just stand there, and you can see a story from her face.

Jin Li is such an actor.

The most critical thing is that you can also see her acting skills from a piece of plainness.

Her demeanor, movements, and the state of immersion are all drama.

Some actors couldn't tell; they just felt that Jin Li in this scene was very beautiful, just like the Xiao Yue in their imagination.

"Okay, cut!"

Director Zheng said quickly: "Outer group remains unchanged, inner group newcomers enter the field, hurry!"

"3, 2, 1! Action!"

Three newcomers, including Yan Chu, walked out of the inner city, came to the outer city, and left the city after strict scanning.

A newcomer said: "Yan Chu, why is it you? You're already 19; you haven't met the requirements for participating in newcomer training for a long time."

Yan Chu said: "I didn't participate in the 18-year-old time before because I was sick and missed it. This time A-Chen is sick, so I'm participating for him."

"Then your ID card?"

Yan Chu: "I'm using A-Chen's."

Another newcomer shook his head and said: "Thanks to the apocalypse, facial recognition requires building a database, which is very energy-consuming and storage-consuming. It can only rely on the ID card to identify the terminal, otherwise you definitely wouldn't be let out by Adele."

"Adele" is the artificial intelligence that manages this base and is also the terminal for all information identification.

Yan Chu: "You also said that, that was technology only available before the apocalypse; now there is nothing."

The three talked and laughed and came to the outer city.

Director Zheng shouted: "Close-up shot! Yan Chu sees Xiao Yue for the first time and is shocked by her beauty; everyone is shocked by her beauty!"

"Cut! Very good, retake the eye-acting scene!"

"One more for safety!"

Director Zheng filmed Yan Chu's eye-acting scene of seeing Xiao Yue for the first time more than a dozen times, five of which Xiao Yue was indifferent.

This is according to the screenwriter's setting; Xiao Yue's beauty is recognized, so she is indifferent to all the gazes that look at her.

But during filming, Director Zheng felt that it couldn't highlight the "destined" beauty of the first time, so he added a look back from Xiao Yue.

With this addition, Director Zheng couldn't help but film a few more times and let Gu Cheng do it again a few more times.

Repeatedly tossing and turning, this small scene was filmed for half an hour.
