Chapter 100: Teacher Wen Is Really Bad, I Don't Know If I Will Take Everything You Say Seriously

The director, being an action-oriented person, wasted no time when he saw that all the actors had arrived. In the morning, he arranged for everyone to rehearse the first scene, which was a large-scale fight scene featuring the main characters in the drama "Breaking Heaven".

There's no rush to change costumes for now. Checking first to see how each actor performs on the wire stunts.

The director arranged it this way because "Breaking Heaven" is a large-scale youth fantasy martial arts drama with many spectacular action scenes.

Although special effects can be used most of the time, shots of actors flying around in the air are also indispensable.

Many of these young actors are princes and princesses who were sent by various major studios and had little experience in wire work before.

The director thought about finding a substitute for difficult moves, but if someone couldn't even maintain the most basic form while on the wire, he can still replace them as soon as possible.

This scene is a century-old battle between several major sects of cultivating immortals. In addition to cultivators, their spiritual pets are also involved in the battle.

Because it is mainly to see the shape, the martial arts director only taught each actor some basic gestures, and let them go to the wire.

The actors fought in groups, and the cat slave played by Ruan Jinghong was in the third group, fighting side by side with the owner Ling Yunxin.

At this time, Ruan Jinghong was observing the state of other actors hanging on wire outside the camera, and based on the performance of others, she silently wrote down the points that needed attention for a while.

Currently, the main participants in the battle can be classified into three groups: cultivators, flying beasts, and land beasts.

Ruan Jinghong, who plays the cat spirit, belongs to the land beast group and operates within a height range of ten meters from the ground.

Fortunately, although this height may make her slightly nervous due to her slight fear of heights, it shouldn't cause any physical impairment.

Ruan Jinghong is trying her best to regulate her emotions while repeatedly practicing the movements taught by the martial arts choreographer. She hopes to quickly develop muscle memory so that even if her mind is not fully focused, she can naturally perform the actions.

She put in a lot of effort, and soon fine sweat began to form on her forehead.

"Heh." A contemptuous scoff reached her ears.

Ruan Jinghong turned her head and saw Fu Ziyan standing beside her, wearing a mocking expression.

She was aware of Fu Ziyan's displeasure towards her, but with the first major test approaching, she didn't have time to engage with her.

Ruan Jinghong glanced past the other person's disdainful face without much reaction and turned to continue practicing her moves.

However, Fu Ziyan approached her, leaning in close to her ear, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"You're quite diligent, but no matter how hard you try, you'll eventually have to obediently leave the crew. After all, you've offended the wrong person. Oh, by the way, I heard you have acrophobia?"

Ruan Jinghong:  ?

Who did I offend?

Fu Ziyan's malicious threat momentarily slowed down Ruan Jinghong's movements, but she quickly regained her normal pace. 

Although she was filled with questions and doubts, she knew the importance of the upcoming performance.

Whatever it is, think about it after work.

As the second group of actors finished their audition, the assistant director approached Ruan Jinghong's group and informed them that they would be on stage in ten minutes.

Meanwhile, the production crew was conducting a routine check of the props on set. After each scene, they would reorganize the set.

Generally speaking, there are very few problems, but the cutscene still has to go.

Finally, it was Ruan Jinghong's turn to go on stage. The crew members attached a wire rope to her body and allowed her to move around.

Ruan Jinghong stretched her arms while adjusting to the slight tightness of the wire rope. It didn't hinder her movements, and she expressed her gratitude to the crew members. With every second counting, she mentally rehearsed the lines from the script.

Once the crew members saw that everything was fine on her end, they moved on to assist the next person.

At that moment, Xiao Yuan approached, concerned about her boss' girlfriend.

During her inspection, she noticed a problem.

The crew member turned around upon hearing the sound and saw Xiao Yuan holding the buckle of the wire rope. With a gentle twist of her hand, she easily unfastened it.

In order to make it clear to him, Xiao Yuan even demonstrated it in front of him multiple times by unfastening it.

The staff took a look at it, and sure enough, the rope buckle, which was very strong before, seemed to have been cut into a very thin hole by some sharp weapon.

It was not noticeable to the naked eye, but if it were to be hung up like that, it would be prone to falling off at high altitudes due to gravity's pull.

It was a close call to a workplace accident, and the staff hurriedly thanked Xiao Yuan and replaced the buckle with a new one for Ruan Jinghong.

This time, the staff checked each one by hand to ensure they were all secure.

Ruan Jinghong took a deep breath when she saw this scene.

Her eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked at Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan reassured her and straightened the ropes on her body, whispering encouragingly, "It's alright, Madam, you can do it!"

As the audition was about to begin, the staff who had just experienced a false alarm wondered to themselves.

Strange, the wire work was stable before, why did it suddenly become loose?

Once all the actors from the third group were secured with the wire work, the audition began.

At first, the sensation of weightlessness caused by the rising wire work made Ruan Jinghong's heart race for a moment. However, soon enough, the rope stopped when she was suspended ten meters above the ground.

Due to her sufficient mental preparation and practice, she smoothly executed the first set of movements, even outperforming many actors nearby who didn't have a fear of heights.

This was a group scene, and during the audition, she not only had to perform her own actions while suspended in the air but also interact with other actors.

In the fight scene, it was the cat spirit up against a Vermilion Bird which would descend from a high point to attack her.

Ruan Jinghong looked up and assumed a defensive posture, but suddenly felt a tightness under her armpit as the wire that was holding her shot up several tens of meters, quickly ascending from low to high altitude.

The sudden turn of events startled the on-site crew. While it was not uncommon for the wire to reach heights of several tens of meters, it would typically ascend gradually rather than shooting up so abruptly.

The crew quickly inspected the lifting equipment and discovered that something had become jammed, causing the malfunction.

As a temporary solution, they had to shut down the lifting mechanism and manually lower the wire, with several crew members holding onto it and carefully guiding it down.

With the assistance of the crew, Ruan Jinghong touched the ground with her feet. She had just experienced a high-altitude operation that was ten times more thrilling than a roller coaster ride, leaving her drenched in sweat.

Many people here were unaware of her mild acrophobia, but anyone being suddenly yanked into the air would be quite frightened.

Fortunately, the wire was sturdy enough, and no accidents occurred.

The director thoughtfully gave her a ten-minute break.

The rest of the audition process went much smoother. Ruan Jinghong had just experienced a small mishap, still recovering from the shock. Thankfully, she had managed to develop some muscle memory during the impromptu practice, allowing her subsequent performance to be decent.

After watching everyone's performances, the director reluctantly nodded.

Although this group of young actors generally had a low level of education, they all handled the wire work adequately.

He instructed the actors to go for styling and prepare for the formal shooting in the afternoon.

The first day of shooting didn't end until after 10 p.m.

As the second female lead, Ruan Jinghong had a separate rest room according to the production crew's standards.

To take care of Madam conveniently, Xiao Yuan also rented a room nearby at her own expense, knowing that the boss would reimburse her.

After a busy day, Ruan Jinghong took a quick shower before finally having a moment to check her phone before bed.

Opening WeChat, she saw a message from Wen Jin filled with care and concern.

It was a lengthy message, covering everything from daily necessities to filming tips.

Since they had expressed their feelings for each other, they had spent a lot of time cuddling, but they hardly ever had a chance to discuss serious matters.

Now that the two of them have only been separated for half a day, their deep thoughts have turned into words of concern, which are sent to their beloved through cold electronic media.

A picture appeared in Ruan Jinghong's mind.

Wen Jin sitting in the conference hall with a serious face, holding the mobile phone in one hand, and typing out the detailed instructions with the other hand, tapping away for quite some time.

Wen Jin was accustomed to concealing her emotions in front of others. Her demeanor might have fooled others into thinking something significant had happened, but it was unlikely that anyone would associate it with dating.

Ruan Jinhong's mood brightened as she imagined the scene. She smiled, revealing her sweet dimples, and picked up her phone to send a message.

"Received. I will definitely follow the instructions of our leader."

Almost immediately after, her phone rang.

Ruan Jinghong heard the familiar exclusive ringtone and pressed the answer button.

The soft voice with a hint of teasing came out from the small electronic device.

"Ruanruan, are you done with your busy day? I heard from Xiao Yuan that you finished shooting at 10:16."

10:16, what a precise time.

Ruan Jinghong nodded obediently, only to realize that the other party could not see at all, so she reported to the phone.

"Mm, I just got back to my room and took a shower. Is Teacher Wen at home now? Are you tired today?"

No one knows who said it, but it is said that when two people are deeply in love, about ninety percent of what they say to each other is meaningless chatter. Yet, they never tire of it.

Just like now, even though there's nothing particularly important to discuss, they can still care for each other for a long time, and they don't find it boring or tedious at all.

Wen Jin patiently replied, "I'm not like our busy person. I finished work at 6 p.m. today and came home feeling lonely. I've been eagerly waiting for my girlfriend to pay attention to me."

Ruan Jinghong had some doubts about the credibility of Wen Jin's statement about "eagerly waiting for her girlfriend's attention".

People like Teacher Wen who are more capable and more responsible, the last time she came to eat at home, she never forgot to work and even borrowed my laptop.

However, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Wen. Today is the first day of joining the group, and I'm a little busy with work. I haven't had time to look at my phone. Next time, as long as I'm free, I'll send you a message as soon as possible, I promise!"

"Oh." Wen Jin was amused by Ruan Jinghong's promise, and she acted coquettishly on a whim, and the effect was quite good.

"Just kidding, work is important. I'm relieved to have Xiao Yuan on site to take care of you."

Ruan Jinghong bit her lips when she heard the words: Teacher Wen is really bad, I don't know if I will take everything you say seriously.

So she replied with a bit of revenge, "Teacher Wen is right, I must be a good actor who is dedicated to my job and loves my job. I'm going to review the script right now, so I'll hang up first?"

Seeing that her girlfriend was getting a little upset, Wen Jin quickly changed the subject.

"Don't hang up yet. It's my girlfriend's first day on set, and I want to hear how she's feeling."

Speaking of which, this is Ruan Jinghong's first time playing an important role in an S-level production, which is completely different from her previous experience in those small ones.

It feels very fresh and very... exciting.

Especially during today's weiya incident, it almost gave her a heart attack.

However, she didn't intend to worry her beloved with this matter and chose to share fresh and interesting things with Wen Jin. 

In fact, even if Wen Jin didn't ask, she would have been bursting to share it already.

She has always been reticent and found that it's not that she doesn't like talking, it just depends on who the person she is talking to.

"It's the first time I did Weiya today. I was quite nervous when I first went up, but all the movements were correct. The martial arts teacher even praised me for my talent."

"In the afternoon, when we were filming a group scene, every actor was dressed colorfully and made gestures there. But there were no special effects, it was spectacular and funny."

"I went for a makeup photoshoot in the evening. My character has specially designed cat ears that are remote-controlled and can change shape. It's so much fun!" Wen Jin listened to her girlfriend excitedly sharing her experiences on the set, her voice filled with sunny energy that  brightened her mood unconsciously.

However, as she listened, she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off.

The little thing told her so many things, she didn't even miss details like how many vegetables and pieces of meat were in the crew's box lunch, why did she not mention the most important thing?

After listening to Ruan Jinghong speaking a lot in one breath, joking a few words from time to time, until she finally stopped, Wen Jin then asked gently.

"I didn't expect Ruanruan's first day of shooting to be so colorful. Is there anything else that impressed you?"

Other impressive things?

Ruan Jinghong recalled quickly in her mind, and made sure that she shared all the interesting points, big and small, without omission.

So she shook her head, "That's all for today. If there is something else interesting tomorrow, I'll tell Teacher Wen."

Wen Jin frowned imperceptibly.

The two chatted a few more words on the phone, and then said good night to each other.

Wen Jin hung up the phone, but she felt a bit uneasy. So, almost involuntarily, she logged into Penguin, clicked on that love-hate inducing little white cat avatar, and after some contemplation, she sent a message.

Huaijin Holds Yu: Just saw that Dada's story has concluded, congratulations!

Ruan Jinghong was about to go to sleep, but when she saw her top fan sending congratulations, she couldn't ignore it.

The two chatted briefly to catch up on the old days. Ruan Jinghong mentioned that she recently participated in an outdoor job, and probably won't open new pits* for the time being.

*new project/novel

This sentence hits the mark for someone.

Huaijin Holds Yu: Dada, recently I've also been doing outdoor sports, extreme rock climbing to be precise. The cliffs are so high, and I have to use safety ropes. It's thrilling!

When Ruan Jinghong heard it, she suddenly felt that the they had a common language, and tapped her fingers on the screen quickly.

Ruanruan: I was also hoisted to work at heights today. It was said that the rope would only be hoisted up to ten meters, but the machine broke down suddenly, and I was hoisted soaring up tens of meters. I was almost scared to death. Moreover, the rope buckle was not stable before, but fortunately it was replaced at the last moment. I was really lucky. By the way, did you feel afraid when you were hoisted to a high altitude, and how did you overcome your psychological fear?

Wen Jin looked at the news in the chat box, her face was terribly cold. It turned out that this was what Xiao Yuan said, "There was a little accident when they tried the weiya before, but there was no danger."

Machine malfunction, rope buckle is not stable, so many coincidences stacked up, only that little fool would think it was really an accident.

What's even more irritating is that she didn't say a word about such a serious incident. She would rather confide it to a netizen whom she had never met on the Internet than to tell her real girlfriend.

The little thing is so misbehaved, this matter has to be written down, and she will educate her well in the future.

However, the most urgent task is to find out the source of the fault at the shooting scene.
