Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Make Way, Make Way, The Empress Is About to Show Off Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Make Way, Make Way, The Empress Is About to Show Off Not until the voices grew distant and faded away did she dare to relax.
Good heavens, soone wanted to harm Xia Weibao!
Without bothering to chase after the two won, Ruan Shushu turned and ran towards the filming site.
Today, Xia Weibao was shooting a fight scene where Li Qingcheng, disguised as a man, ca back to seek vengeance. She had hard the interests of too many people and was being pursued by assassins sent by the current Pri Minister.
Trapped in an inn, she fought desperately against the assassins, alone.
Xia Weibao was not only a good actor but also had a martial arts foundation; she never used a stunt double for fight scenes, always performing them herself.
Xu Jiayang felt that she was born to be an action star. Whether it was her movents, strength, or positioning, her performance was always stunning.
That’s why, whenever she fild a fight scene, he’d set up several caras to capture it from all angles.
A cara was suspended from the ceiling beam, offering a bird’s-eye view of her full scene when she was filming.
“Baby, when the assassin throws the sword at you later, spread your arms, lean your body back, and look upwards…”
Xu Jiayang was explaining the scene to her, and Xia Weibao nodded in understanding.
Got it, got it—it’s all about looking cool, right? However cool it needs to be.
Everyone took their positions—the assassin in night clothes cornered Xia Weibao in the middle of the inn and threw a sword at her.
Xia Weibao always rembered her key principle in filming—no, actually, attracting girls—no, her key principle was to look cool!
She had plenty of experience with this. After all, back in the day, with three thousand beauties in the Imperial Harem, which one of them hadn’t been smitten by her cool deanor?
So, in the mont the sword was thrown, she only cared about looking cool, completely disregarding Xu Jiayang’s instructions.
She reached out and grabbed the sword, then leaned back, bending her waist ninety degrees backward.
Furthermore, for a thrilling visual effect, she deliberately let the sword graze her nose, standing up between her eyebrows and eyes.
Her gaze was fierce, and her aura was murderous!
This scene scared Xu Jiayang half to death.
Although it was a prop, it could still be dangerous!
To think she would attempt to grab it with her bare hands—was she out of her mind?
Even though he had initially wanted to shoot it like that, considering her safety, he had decided to opt for a more cautious approach.
But now, seeing Xia Weibao safely and firmly standing on one foot,
She extended the other leg forward, her body and leg forming a straight line, parallel to the ground.
Xu Jiayang abruptly stood up, wondering how she managed to perform such a demanding move.
“Get that on cara, quick!”
The shot was too beautiful, and with no stunt double involved, it had to be captured in a close-up from every angle!
Her Majesty the Empress also knew she looked very stylish in this pose. Several female artists on set were already starry-eyed.
So, she didn’t imdiately stand up, instead maintaining the pose.
“Director Xu, get the wind machine and blow my clothes around—I don’t often get to show off like this, hurry up!”
Xu Jiayang, “…”
Are you here to act or just to show off?
And could you not talk nonsense? You’ve ruined a perfect shot with just one sentence!
Never mind, it’ll be dubbed in post-production.
Soon, the wind machine lifted her clothes, creating a dazzling scene.
It must be said, with a good foundation, any shot can be turned into a work of art.
“Cut, that’s a wrap for this segnt—get ready for the next scene.”
As Xu Jiayang spoke, Xia Weibao prepared to stand up straight.
Just then, the strap holding the cara overhead suddenly snapped, crashing straight toward her head.
Xia Weibao squinted her eyes, thinking of dodging when soone shoved her hard, causing her to stagger forward.
Right after that, a petite figure took her place and Ruan Shushu, who couldn’t dodge in ti, was struck in the head by the falling cara.
