After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 855: All filmed on location, switching to the main character's perspective.

After being told by Jiang Hanying to go back and rest well, Cheng Chuying came out of the dressing room and turned to find Gu Hai.

When Gu Hai saw her coming, he quickly put down his work and stood up to greet her, "Director Cheng, what can I do for you?"

Cheng Chuying replied quite decisively: "I've decided, for this drama, we're not going to use any sets or special effects, we'll use real locations for everything!"

Gu Hai was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening, and was both happy and worried. "Using real locations is certainly better, the scenes will be more realistic, and I also prefer to use real locations. But if we use real locations for everything, we'll have to travel all over the country, and your health..."

Cheng Chuying raised her hand to interrupt, "You don't need to worry about that. I can handle it. If I weren't in good health, would I dare to plan a world trip? Just go ahead and make the arrangements. At the latest, one week, no, let's make it two weeks. Give me all your filming locations for review. Don't try to fool me, understand?"

"How could I dare? I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Okay, I'll remember what you said. I'm going back to rest now."

Gu Hai was left scratching his head as he watched Director Cheng's decisive departure, stating his decision and making his demands.

Why did you suddenly make this decision?

Did something happen that he didn't know about before?
He's the executive producer and chief supervisor, so there can't be anything on this set that he doesn't know!
Well, except for Sister Ying.

On her way back to the dressing room, Pei Yuan also retrieved her and Han Ying's cell phones.

This can be considered a strict rule for the film crew under Director Cheng's supervision.

During filming, actors and their assistants had to hand over their phones to a designated person to prevent them from getting distracted by constantly checking their phones.

Of course, if an important call comes in, I will make a special appointment to answer it.

The phone could only be completely retrieved after all the scenes for the day were filmed.

I have to say it's quite effective at breaking your phone addiction. Seeing your phone again after half a day feels even more comforting.

"Sis, the props have been returned, and everything's packed up. Here, take your phone."

Jiang Hanying took the phone and turned it on as she walked out. The phone buzzed several times in a short while.

A quick glance revealed the first message from the cheap owner, sent in the afternoon: "[I've landed. The signal is poor further ahead, so you might not be able to get through or receive replies. Don't worry.]"

Jiang Hanying responded with a haughty cat emoji, paws on hips and head tilted back at the sky.

She's not worried at all!

After waiting for a while and receiving no reply, she left the chat room and opened the next unread message.

No, there are several of them.

Ye Ye, the Great Beauty: [Qiaoqiao has been settled with her master. I finally managed to feel her pulse just now, but it's intermittent and weak.]

Ye Ye, the beautiful lady: [Xiao Ying, are you busy?]

Ye Ye, the beautiful lady: [I just learned from my sister-in-law that Shu Heng is away on a business trip. Remember to contact me if you need anything.]

The last unread message was from Li Jingmo: "Hanying, what did you say to my mom last night? I called her today, and she seemed a bit sarcastic."

Jiang Hanying decisively left the chat room, pretending she hadn't seen the message.

After getting into the car that would take her back to her dorm, Jiang Hanying turned to Pei Yuan and said, "I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when we get there."

"Okay, sis, you should get some rest." Pei Yuan said, handing over a blanket, then reclining the seat to its maximum position, and finally adjusting the ambient lighting in the car to sleep mode.

Jiang Hanying wrapped herself comfortably in the fluffy blanket and closed her eyes.

The next second, the perspective switches to the player's own viewpoint.

What comes into view is a simple campsite built on the Gobi Desert.

Several large jeeps covered in sand were parked in a row to block the howling wind; you could even hear the sound of sand and stones being blown up by the wind hitting the vehicles.

The environment is really terrible!

They're cooking inside the camp right now. I glanced at the pot, and it certainly wasn't a big meal. It didn't look very appetizing either, but at least there was meat, vegetables, and some crumbs of bread, so it was at least nutritious.

Looking at the owner's attire, the most striking thing was the sunglasses that were still perched on his nose late at night, though she guessed that they were probably there to block out the ubiquitous sandstorm.

The one-piece training uniform was fastened just below the chin, and it was a bit tight, probably to prevent sand and dust from getting in. Because I was sitting on a small folding stool, my long legs felt rather awkward in the somewhat cramped tent.

One foot, clad in an ankle boot, was placed on the corner of the tent, seemingly for securing it.

There were eight people in the tent. Apart from the four from the Skywalker team, the other four were unfamiliar faces.

However, they seemed to know each other quite well.

When she heard the four unfamiliar faces address their cheap master as "captain," Jiang Hanying immediately guessed that these might be the substitute members of the Skywalker Squad.

The four Bai Ze mentioned earlier have been completely wiped out, it seems they have been completely expelled from the list.

As I watched, the person who had been lying quietly in the car, seemingly asleep, suddenly turned over.

The reason was that the object hidden in the palm of the hand was suddenly rubbed and gently stroked a few times.

Jiang Hanying bit her lower lip to keep herself from making a sound.

Pei Yuan, who was sitting next to him, and the driver were also in the car.

Without waiting to observe any longer, Jiang Hanying suddenly opened her eyes and let out a soft breath.

Just then, Pei Yuan's voice came through the blanket: "Sis, wake up, we're almost there. Shall we go to the studio restaurant for a late-night snack?"

"want!"

Inside a tent on the Gobi Desert.

Li Chengxiao took the bowl of mixed meat, vegetable, and staple food soup handed to him by the doctor, blew on it, took a sip, and glanced down at the palm of his right hand.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the small silver sword with the added gold patterns seems to have shifted a little bit in the palm of my hand!

It was already past nine o'clock when I got back to the dorm after having a late-night snack.

Pei Yuan had just received the notice for tomorrow, and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw the work schedule displayed on it.

Are you busy tomorrow?

"No, not at all. There are only two scenes tomorrow, but I have to be on set around 5 a.m.! Sis, I'll head down now if there's nothing else. I'll come over at 5 a.m. to wake you up tomorrow morning."

Jiang Hanying waved to her, and after seeing the person leave, she sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room and dialed the video call of the beautiful Ye Ye.

After a while, the call connected. "Xiaoying, are you just getting off work now?"

"Yeah, I just got back to the dorm. Our director this time doesn't allow us to use our phones during work hours, so I only saw the message after I finished work."

"That's quite strict."

Jiang Hanying glanced at the antique-style background behind Ye Mingxin and asked, "Where are you?"

“I’m staying at my master’s house right next to Qiaoqiao’s so I can keep an eye on her. Her condition is more stable than during the day, but she still hasn’t woken up. I plan to stay here until she does.”

"Since there's a pulse, waking up is only a matter of time."

"Hmm, will that inactive thing in her body be expelled, or will it stay inside her?"

Jiang Hanying thought of Lin Shuangshuang, "She will be absorbed by the body."

“Absorb…” Ye Mingxin thought for a moment, then nodded. “Okay, I understand. You must be tired from working so late. Get some rest.”

"Ah."

After hanging up the video call, taking a shower, and lying on the clean and tidy bed, Jiang Hanying said: "I can't rest any longer!"
Switch perspective again.

It was immediately obvious that this was inside a car.

It seems they've finished eating and are getting ready to rest.

How could she just eat and then go to sleep? Jiang Hanying's lips curled into a mischievous smile.

Li Chengxiao was drifting off to sleep, listening to the occasional patter of sand against the carriage, when a strong gust of wind swept past. When he opened his eyes, he saw two bare arms in front of him, and a gentle breeze behind his ear. "Master~"

Next comes the moment of revenge!
