Chapter 949: Chapter 940: To the End with One Mirror (6)
There were paparazzi, too—they had finally witnessed an exchange of looks between Bo Yan and Xia Siyu, and were excitedly anticipating a big event!
“Three, two, one! ACTION!”
Xia Siyu and the male lead didn’t jump off the cliff right away; there was a brief piece of plot before the jump.
In the lee, she was stabbed by the great Antagonist’s master, a blow to a vital area, and she was now fleeing with the male lead. But the enemies were too strong and nurous, and the two of them had run to the edge of a cliff, with no way forward and pursuers behind. What to do?
At the edge of the cliff, her master recited the classic line of the Antagonist, catching up and stopping: “You can’t escape. Just give up.”
Behind him followed many minions from the Cult. Although their martial arts were poor, they were many in number. And both protagonists were injured, with no chance of winning in sight.
Then the scene of the cliff jumping officially began.
This was an opportunity that Xia Siyu had fought for, but she and Director Ji were also aware that it was the only chance.
This jump, whether successful or a failure, would be the only attempt. If it failed, either she would be injured, or the action would not et the standards, but she wouldn’t jump again; the following shots would be completed by a stunt double.
To avoid any filming problems after Xia Siyu had jumped off the cliff, she began shooting so close-up shots of her face before jumping and the scenes of rolling away after successfully landing.
When it ca to acting in dramas, as long as she wasn’t asked to perform in particularly complex arthouse films, it was all familiar territory for her. She quickly finished filming the scenes before and after jumping off the cliff.
After everything here was completed, the final leap was about to be shot.
Everyone held their breath, fearful of any accidents. But when the cara turned to Xia Siyu, suddenly, snowflakes began to drift down from the sky.
It had snowed heavily overnight before stopping, and most of today’s shooting took place without snow. But just as she was about to jump, it started to snow.
The Antagonist’s master and other actors were still chasing from behind, with the male lead and Xia Siyu standing at the edge of the cliff. The male lead asked her, “Can you do it? Maybe we’ll die if we go down this way.”
Xia Siyu looked down below; no special effects were needed, for after the snowfall increased the moisture, the mountains naturally fogged over, appearing bottomless.
She felt a bit of natural fear, whether as herself or the character in the story, but when she turned to see the slightly smiling face of the male lead, it seed like she suddenly gathered courage and strength: “If you can, I can too.”
Behind her, her Antagonist master continued to urge: “Child, co back. Your master will treat you well, just like before.”
She did not obey, but instead looked up at the sky and extended a hand. A snowflake fell into her palm.
This was an impromptu addition to the scene by Xia Siyu, it wasn’t in the script; the assistant director initially wanted to signal Director Ji to cut, but found him with a solemn face and no intentions of yelling cut.
Xia Siyu watched the snowflake in her palm lt away; she then gently clenched her fist, as if grasping the coolness of the snowflake, and glanced again at the male lead, with a subtle smile now appearing on her lips.
The cara was shooting a close-up; her hair was disheveled, her clothes dirty from the scuffle, with blotches of blood on her face and body. But her eyes were astonishingly bright, like stars in the night sky.
Then, she and the male lead leaped forth!
