Chapter 104

Palms and fists fought continuously in the air.

Giving everyone a feast for the eyes.

It even made the martial arts instructor break out in a cold sweat; he understood clearly that these two sisters really knew their stuff and had real skills.

From then on, he didn't dare to slack off anymore.

If he slacked off again, he was worried that this pair of twins would fire him without hesitation; having already taken on the jobs of director + screenwriter + female lead in the crew, they probably wouldn't mind taking on the job of martial arts instructor as well.

In fact.

The young girl was indeed capable of being a martial arts instructor; she just found it troublesome.

"Convincing people with reason," Ning Fei sighed deeply in his heart.

Of course, this "reason" refers to strength.

These days, besides helping out in the crew, Ning Fei spent his time watching the show.

This "watching the show" has two meanings.

One is how the two sisters controlled the crew.

The other is watching the two sisters act.

In terms of controlling the crew, he saw it; to be honest, he had been to many crews, but in terms of directing ability, not many could surpass the twins.

What's even more terrifying is that they were also screenwriters, martial arts instructors...

"No wonder Yang Mi said not to worry about these two sisters not being able to control the crew; their abilities are really too strong," Ning Fei looked at the two young girls sitting in the director's chairs, filming with expressionless faces.

To be honest.

Even he himself was afraid that these two eighteen-year-old girls would suddenly show a playful smile.

That was simply too terrifying.

And the actors were even more so; everyone was very serious, and even those who didn't have scenes to shoot for the time being would find time to read the script on the side.

There was no help for it.

These two sisters had very high requirements for lines and had zero tolerance for the behavior of reciting letters or numbers to fill in lines.

If you didn't want to be rewarded with a "Smile of the Charm King" by the twins later, you had to work hard to memorize your lines.

Another thing Ning Fei paid attention to was the twins' acting skills.

In fact.

It wasn't just Ning Fei who was observing Xu Mingyue's acting; others were observing too.

Including the actor playing the Wine Sword Immortal, the actor playing the Moon-Worshipping Cult Master, the actress playing Li Li Xiaoyao's aunt, the actress playing Zhao Zhao Linger's grandmother, etc... they were all old veterans in the circle.

They were paying attention to Xu Mingyue's acting skills.

Although among this pair of twins, it was unknown whether it was the older or younger sister who played Sadako in "Ring."

However, when Sadako appeared on screen, her hair covered her face, and only in the last shot did she reveal half of her face.

It was impossible to tell how much acting skill they had.

Whether they could play Zhao Zhao Linger well was hard to say.

These people knew clearly in their hearts that actors and dramas achieve each other.

A good script needs a good director, a good team, and a large investment, but it also needs good actors to perform it in order to produce an excellent TV series.

And in the Sword Fairy crew.

The veteran supporting actors weren't worried that their own scenes would flop; they respected their profession and would be very attentive to every character, bringing out their best state.

But the acting skills of the leads made them worry instead.

There were not a few film and television works dragged down by the poor acting skills of the leads.

And among the Sword Fairy lead group, the one with the least acting experience was Xu Mingyue; others, such as Xiao Han, Zhu Zhu Xudan, etc., had already acted in many plays.

Moreover.

Zhao Zhao Linger was not easy to play.

They knew the difficulty of it.

Although the young girl's temperament, appearance, figure, and age all fit, matching the character setting of Zhao Zhao Linger, the Nanzhao princess who was beautiful enough to topple cities, innocent and lively, and soft on the outside but firm on the inside.

However, wanting to act out that spiritual and moving feeling was very difficult.

As a result.

When they finished watching the first scene Xu Mingyue performed herself, the nervous and uneasy hearts of Ning Fei, the supporting actors, and the staff members instantly settled down, and they were even shocked.

They saw Xu Mingyue's acting skills.

Although there was still a big gap from that kind of Best Actor/Actress level, it was definitely professional grade.

Playing the female lead in a TV series was absolutely no problem.

She didn't look like a newcomer at all.

So much so that Fang Peipei, who played Li Li Xiaoyao's aunt, commented: "A freak!"

Isn't she a freak?

Clearly having not acted in many plays, yet she could produce such good acting skills; where could those actors who had been in the entertainment industry for a long time but had no progress go to reason?

Maybe this is what a "talent-type player" is.

A genius!

"Too strong." The actors in the crew changed their mindset one by one; they didn't need Xu Youyue or Xu Mingyue to tell them; they were also working hard in secret.

Everyone's heart was very excited.

They saw that if this drama continued to be filmed at the current quality, it would definitely explode in popularity.

This also had benefits for them.

It meant they could gain a representative work.

Not every actor has the opportunity to get a representative work; everyone cherished it.

The Sword Fairy crew had many scenes to film at the Hengdian Film and Television Base.

Including scenes in Suzhou City, Nanzhao Kingdom scenes, Chang'an City scenes, etc...

With the exchanges of some actors and staff, and the spread by extras.

Gradually.

The twin girls' reputation at the Hengdian Film and Television Base became very loud.

"Have you heard? Xu Mingyue is really good at filming."

"More than just good at filming, she's also very good at acting. My ex-boyfriend went to the Sword Fairy crew as an extra the day before yesterday; he just watched Xu Mingyue act, and when he came back, he was soul-less, as if his soul had been taken away, full of 'Zhao Linger sister,' which gave me a headache."

"You weren't angry?"

"So, he became my ex-boyfriend."

"..."

"However, I heard that the Sword Fairy crew is quite good at training people's acting skills; those two sisters have very high requirements for extras, and sometimes they even explain scenes to the extras."

"A director who explains scenes to extras? Really? Is there anyone that good?"

"Then I'd like to join the crew and learn a bit."

"You have to be prepared to be scolded; the actors in their crew all say Xu Mingyue is super fierce, simply a tyrant on the set."

"It doesn't matter if I can learn real things; fierce? It's better than being an extra forever."

"Then let's go together; later we'll go find the extra-head and see if there's a chance. Actually, I also want to go see my wives."

"Wives..."

"The Xu Mingyue sisters, of course."

"Didn't you just break up with your ex-boyfriend? And, aren't you into men? When did you take Xu Mingyue as your wife?"

"So, he became my ex-boyfriend."

"Good guy, so you broke up with your ex-boyfriend because he became your love rival."

Inside the Hengdian Film and Television Base.

Discussions like this were happening everywhere.

Either discussing the twin girls' directing ability, or discussing their acting skills, or discussing their looks.

In addition, many people wanted to go to the Sword Fairy crew to fight for an opportunity.

If they could be noticed by Xu Mingyue, perhaps they could get rid of their extra status and enter the film and television circle.

The young girl didn't pay attention to these discussions; under her strong control, the filming efficiency of the Sword Fairy crew was very high.
