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

Chapter 882 Director Cheng, who's not convinced, might as well crush them.

It took another forty minutes of climbing uphill from the foot of the mountain to reach the first filming location on today's call sheet.

In a lush bamboo forest.

It's already mid-to-late June. Although it's not yet July or August, which are usually the hottest months, the south gets hot earlier. The temperature is already over 30 degrees Celsius before noon.

However, the temperature is lower on the mountain, so it feels okay.

Once inside the bamboo forest, the mountain breeze made it feel even cooler.

When they arrived, the entire filming set had already been set up, and Director Cheng was already sitting in front of the monitor.

Jiang Hanying glanced at him from afar and remarked, "Why do I have a feeling that Director Cheng seems to be in a bad mood today?"

Yuan Chaoyu, who had come up the mountain with her shortly after, was now standing together. Hearing this, he looked over and suddenly said, "The filming of 'Plum Blossom Order' was officially announced to have wrapped up yesterday afternoon."

"The Plum Blossom Order?" Jiang Hanying remembered it was the drama that had previously canceled. She couldn't understand why Yuan Chaoyu was suddenly bringing it up. "So what if filming wrapped up? What does it have to do with us?"

"Ge Xingzhou got drunk at the wrap party and said that 'Plum Blossom Order' would be his final work and the most satisfying work he had ever made. He praised it to the skies, and many marketing accounts published his words. Whether he exaggerated or not is unknown, but they thoughtfully summarized what he meant by saying that none of the dramas produced at the same time as 'Plum Blossom Order' could compete with it. Do you understand now?"

Jiang Hanying looked enlightened and nodded in response to Yuan Chaoyu's gaze. "Our drama started filming more than a month later than 'Plum Blossom Order,' but we're still considered to be at the same time. Is Director Cheng dissatisfied with this?"

"Well, you'd better be on your guard today, I don't want to be filming until midnight before we get down the mountain."

Although they didn't know why, even though it was this season and they were filming in the mountains where mosquitoes are usually plentiful, they hadn't encountered any snakes, insects, or rodents all these days, which meant that all the protective gear her assistant had prepared hadn't been used yet.

However, traveling down the mountain at night is still quite dangerous.

Pei Yuan is a perfect example!
"I didn't want to either."

When she was full of energy, it was fine; she could film for days and nights straight without any problem.

But she's not getting enough sleep right now. She wants to finish filming as soon as possible, have a big meal, and then go back to the hotel for a good night's sleep.

"Let's go, Director Cheng is waving this way."

Jiang Hanying took a light breath of the cool breeze that smelled of bamboo, waved to her cheap owner, and said, "I'm going to work!"

"Go."

When filming officially started, not only the main actors like Jiang Hanying, but even the extras couldn't help but tense up.

"Cut! You assassin on the far left, you're a suicide squad member, why are you retreating?"

"Cut! Su Si Niang, you've reversed your positioning!"

"Cut! Qin Shiyu, slow down! The camera can't keep up with you!"

"Card……"

After a series of repetitive clicks, even Li Chengxiao could sense Director Cheng's dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, after calling "cut" again, everyone present received a message: "Take five minutes to adjust."

Li Chengxiao skillfully stepped forward, holding a tissue to wipe his sweat in one hand and a water glass in the other.

When they arrived, Jiang Hanying had just reined in her horse and stopped. Seeing her cheap master approaching, she was about to dismount when she said, "Don't get off, you'll have to get back on soon."

Jiang Hanying agreed, and simply sat on the horse's back, bending down slightly, and the water cup and straw were brought to her lips.

And you don't even have to wipe your own sweat.

I have to say, being tall is definitely an advantage!
"Are you sleepy?"

Jiang Hanying shook her head while biting the straw, then took a few more sips of water and let go. "I'm not sleepy when I'm filming."

The venue was already noisy, with people's voices mixed with the sounds of machines running, making it sound several times louder to her than to others.

Secondly, her scenes are all action-packed, with hardly any quiet moments. The constant movement keeps her from falling asleep.

"How do you feel about Pei Yuan's job?" "It's alright, quite easy."

The other actors' assistants who overheard this were speechless.

I'm suddenly a little curious about what this guy did before, since he seems to think being an artist's assistant is an easy job!
When the five minutes were up, Li Chengxiao quickly packed up his things and stepped aside, and filming resumed on set.

Filming started at around 9 a.m. and dragged on until almost 2 p.m., with only a short break of less than half an hour in between, before the bamboo forest scenes were finally filmed.

We need to eat lunch before moving on to the next location.

Li Chengxiao brought the food back, saying, "The food is a bit cold."

"It's alright," Jiang Hanying waved her hand dismissively and picked up her chopsticks. "As long as it's edible."

After saying that, he buried his head and started eating voraciously.

She ate breakfast before 7 a.m., and seven hours have passed since then. She was only given some snacks during a short break, which were barely enough to satisfy her hunger.

Even if the food were completely cold, she could still eat it!
Li Chengxiao quickly finished his portion, told him to "rest after you finish eating, I'll come back and clean up," then got up to ask Gu Hai about the time for the next scene change, before heading down the mountain.

After Jiang Hanying finished her meal, she lay down on the rest chair for a short rest. When she heard approaching footsteps, she opened her eyes and saw her cheap owner returning with a basket in her hand.

The basket was covered with a layer of white gauze, and it was still steaming.

She sniffed, and her eyes lit up when she smelled the familiar aroma: "It's Meimei's steamed buns!"

Li Chengxiao handed over the basket, lifted a corner of the gauze, and said, "Eat."

Yuan Chaoyu was awakened by the aroma of steamed buns.

Filming conditions on the mountain were limited, and even the food she ate was a bit cold and had lost much of its color, aroma, and flavor. In addition, she was very tired from filming the scenes today, so even though she was very hungry, she didn't have much of an appetite and only ate about three-tenths full.

Steaming hot white flour buns with meat filling don't usually seem like much, but this one is really tempting.

She wasn't the only one who smelled the fragrance.

The actors resting nearby silently swallowed their saliva while glancing at their assistants.

Look at others, then look at you!
The assistant, caught in the glare, looked up at the sky and immediately gave up.

I cannot do it in just twenty minutes to go down the mountain to buy steamed buns and bring them back up!
Before we finished eating the steamed buns, it was time to move on to another place.

Fortunately, it was also in the mountains, just in a different place, and we had to walk there.

Jiang Hanying simply ate as she walked.

When we arrived at our destination, we had just finished eating the steamed buns and let out a satisfied burp.

"This is the first time I've ever had a full meal on the mountain."

Even Gu Hai and Pei Yuan can't estimate her appetite anymore!
The scenes on this side of the cliff were equally challenging.

Besides the action scenes that require physical exertion, there is also an emotional scene that is filmed directly in the face.

Under Director Cheng's stricter and more meticulous requirements than ever before, Jiang Hanying, who rarely had any NGs, had to film eight takes before she finally heard a "cut".

Towards the end of the shoot, due to frequent makeup touch-ups and constant use of fill lights, my eyes became red and sore, but this actually achieved the natural effect that Director Cheng wanted.

Jiang Hanying, whose head was being held up by her cheap owner as he dripped eye drops into her eyes: "..."

Let her quietly hurl a curse at Director Gou!

Fortunately, the crew finished work before nightfall, and walked down the mountain path in the last rays of the setting sun.

Jiang Hanying blinked away the excess eye drops, gazing longingly down the mountain, looking as if she wished she could teleport there instantly. "Come on, come on, the grilled fish, braised fish, and crayfish are all waiting for me!"

Li Chengxiao handed over the work bag, which was now almost half the size of its original weight, turned around, and squatted down. "Get on."

Other assistants passing by: You're going to drive us crazy!
