If you let her down, she won’t take you to act again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little girl with wine-red hair, dressed in a white little dress and a beret, stood before Shengzai with her hands on her hips, instructing him in her acting experience with the air of a senior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, everyone prepare—next scene coming up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jianai, and you, little boy—Shengzai-kun, it’s your turn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the director’s command, the crew sprang into swift action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengzai was quickly dressed in kendo gear and handed a bamboo sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, didn’t I say the prop bamboo sword should be small and hollow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid’s about five years old—how’s he supposed to swing a sword nearly as tall as he is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The movie Shengzai and the others were filming was titled “Protecting You from This Moment On,” a romance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plot was a cliché: the female lead runs away from an arranged marriage and meets her destined soulmate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jianai played the young female lead, who ran away and got lost in the deep mountains, then encountered a boy living with his grandfather in the mountains after being attacked by a wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she was the young female lead, Jianai had many scenes and lines in this film.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Shengzai’s role as the kendo boy? He’d appear in barely this one scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was a low-budget film, after his character fought the wolf and fell off the cliff, he vanished from the story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t reappear until years later—as a handsome young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the script, Shengzai only needed to grip the bamboo sword, make a determined expression, then charge at the wolf and swing wildly—then the scene was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a newcomer extra, the acting demand was low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, Shengzai’s appearance was quite impressive, so the director had agreed to his cameo request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A bamboo sword? For my debut, it’s surprisingly fitting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the director was scolding the prop team for their carelessness and considering removing Shengzai’s sword swings in post-production, he suddenly noticed Shengzai on the other side had already gripped the solid bamboo sword with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the stance he took looked surprisingly authentic—he froze in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shengzai-kun, can you even lift that bamboo sword?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shengzai’s grip, the director’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem. It’s not polished, but I’ve taken kendo lessons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Shengzai had trained in kendo, the director grew even more pleased. “Can you swing this sword?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh! Huh! Huh——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengzai didn’t answer. Instead, he gripped the bamboo sword—nearly as tall as himself—and began swinging it through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent! I originally cast you only because of Ma’s influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, no one else could be more perfect for this role.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Shengzai swing the sword, the director beamed with satisfaction and praised him freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For young children, you can’t demand high acting skill—prodigies like Ma Jianai are rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengzai’s kendo skill matched the role perfectly; the rest of his acting didn’t matter anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all preparations were complete, the actors took their positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, another actor appeared—besides Shengzai and Jianai, the two tiny performers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was a low-budget film, they couldn’t afford elaborate special effects. At this tech level, digitally creating a lifelike wolf wasn’t impossible—but the budget didn’t allow it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So to complete the scene, a police dog resembling a wolf was brought out by the crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jianai, don’t be afraid. This dog is a trained police dog—it’s just been made up to look like a wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, our crew outside will direct the dog to charge at you. Shengzai-kun, just swing your wooden sword to drive it off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the director’s reassurance, Jianai still panicked when she saw the dog, painted to look like a wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t strange—both were only five or six years old, and the wolf-like police dog, even on all fours, stood nearly as tall as they did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For children, such a massive creature charging at them? Not being terrified was already a miracle; not bursting into tears was a bonus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shengzai-kun, don’t be afraid—just imagine it’s a big dog charging at you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before filming began, the director reminded Shengzai once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this scene, Jianai was the runaway girl—fear of the wolf was natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Shengzai, protecting her, couldn’t show fear. For a child, that wasn’t easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director had considered cutting away from Shengzai’s face—using close-ups of the wolf or just shooting his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Shengzai’s kendo had impressed him—he was clearly talented. Not giving him screen time would be a waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",946,"2026-06-19T15:18:33.595Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","857ab4ce2d6a04320a97d33d2d250c94f710141afa17e07084c90c7280095919","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-40","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-38",587,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-cover.jpg"]
