Even if you belong to a demonic sect, you still have to bring glory to the country.

Chapter 11 Do you like acting?
"You mustn't let your brother-in-law hear you say that."

Zhou Zhi knew that her younger sister was naturally fond of stirring up trouble and enjoyed watching a spectacle.

Zhou Jiao still asked with concern, "Will that affect you?"

Zhou Zhi: "No, the Wen family's property won't end up in my hands, it has nothing to do with me, I'll just watch from the sidelines."

Marrying someone like Wen Haotian would guarantee a life of wealth and luxury.

But forget about inheriting the rights.

Wen Haotian has two successful sons, and his second wife, whom he divorced, is a formidable businesswoman. Zhou Zhi dared not have any wild thoughts.

She knew very well what she wanted from marrying Wen Haotian.

She's content with having enough to eat and drink for the rest of her life. Does she really expect Wen Haotian to have true love for her?

"That's good. Don't get involved in their family affairs." Zhou Jiao pondered, her eyes darting around. "I'm curious about his first wife and that daughter. Has your brother-in-law said he'll acknowledge them?"

Zhou Zhi couldn't guess either: "Who knows? I can't very well ask him. He basically never talks about his first wife."

Everyone has curiosity, even Zhou Zhi and Zhou Jiao. They were only curious about Wen Haotian's first wife, but dared not inquire too much.

Li Sui felt like she was about to faint from heatstroke.

She had been wearing this armor for two hours straight and felt hot.

If it weren't for Weaver Girl and Yu Liangliang taking turns fanning her, she felt she would have collapsed long ago.

There were many like Li Sui; the unknown extras and stuntmen all wore thick armor because the scene was mainly about nighttime battles between armies.

However, there were at least a few large fans on site, and people were already packed in at specific angles so as not to interfere with filming.

In this tense atmosphere, Li Sui finally got her part.

Gao Tingzhong decided to finish filming Zhou Jiao's action scenes first.

This scene mainly consists of a fight between the stunt double Li Sui and several soldiers. Zhou Jiao plays a princess from beyond the Great Wall in the drama, the kind who can go into battle wearing armor and carrying a spear.

In recent years, she has become a popular and likable strong female character. It was directed by Gao Tingzhong, and many actresses are eager to play the role.

Unfortunately, Zhou Jiao just wouldn't listen.

According to Yu Liangliang's gossip, Zhou Jiao herself didn't have much ambition. It was because her older sister got married early that the Wen family didn't allow her to show her face in public, so Zhou Zhi projected her unfulfilled dream of becoming a star onto her younger sister.

Li Sui makes no judgment on these unfounded rumors.

It's none of her business.

In this scene, Li Sui is wielding a long spear. This spear is specially made; it has some weight but isn't a real gun. He has to wield it with great power and coordination with other characters.

Li Sui's skills learned in the Demon School came in handy. Although he couldn't compare to the masters of the time, he still had some skill in showing off his moves.

She can use not only spears, but also swords!
She simply thrust and parried with her spear, and even the finishing move was so swift that the spear slammed into the ground, the tip trembling due to the momentum of the movement, emitting a faint trembling sound.

This made Gao Tingzhong's eyes light up: "His skills are indeed impressive."

Zhou Jiao was also watching.

Having worked on film crews for a long time, she's become able to distinguish between good and bad. The temporary stunt double she found this time was no worse than her previous professional stunt doubles.

And they're even more similar in size.

If the photos turn out well, you can give a bigger red envelope.

Zhou Jiao also noticed that a strange woman had appeared on set and was watching Li Sui filming.

Weaver Girl.

The weaver's beauty is breathtaking; just standing there, she is captivating, and her posture is graceful and composed.

On such a hot day, everyone was in their costumes and looked rather disheveled from the heat; many even had their cheeks sunburned.

The weaver was clean and refreshed, without a single drop of sweat. Standing in the sunlight, the scorching sun only made her dazzling.

Because she was so eye-catching, several celebrities in the crew who made a living based on their looks came out, all staring at her. They kept asking if she was a newly debuted artist from some company.

She's so beautiful and a complete stranger; she must be a new artist.

Zhou Jiao was immediately curious. She turned to her assistant and lowered her voice, "Who is that beautiful woman?"

The assistant shook her head. "Sister Zhou, I really don't know. It seems to be a friend who came with your stunt double."

Did she come with her stunt double?

Zhou Jiao didn't ask any more questions.

Yu Liangliang was even happier to hear that Li Sui had been praised by the director.

"It's a pity, this job can only be done for three days."

The original stunt double had signed a long-term contract with Zhou Jiao, but Li Sui wasn't interested in this kind of long-term work because it was too tiring.

The weaver glanced away: "How much will Li Sui get paid for these three days?"

"Uh..." Yu Liangliang looked around and said in a voice only the weaver could hear, "One thousand or three thousand a day. If Teacher Zhou Jiao is willing to give some red envelopes, that would be even better."

Weaver Girl: "More than three thousand?"

She had absolutely no concept of modern compensation.

She only remembered that she spent over 200 yuan on lunch today. The cult leader worked hard for three days, which was equivalent to her food expenses for several days.

That's not much.

Yu Liangliang replied with a serious expression, "That's quite a lot. It's equivalent to a month's salary for many ordinary people."

Otherwise, why would Yu Liangliang be so eager to have Li Sui come?

A month?

The weaver opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

The stunt doubles' scenes were filmed very smoothly. Most of the people filming these kinds of action scenes are professionals, and everyone rehearsed the moves very quickly. After a few takes and two rehearsals, they were done.

The scene took an hour and a half to finish.

Li Sui was so hot she felt like she was about to lose her mind. Now that she knew Zhou Jiao wouldn't have any more action scenes that night, she was finally able to take off her costume.

She had already made up her mind and said to the weaver, "We won't have hot pot tonight, it's too hot. I'll take you to eat something cool! Liang-ge, do you want to come with us?"

Yu Liangliang shook her head: "I can't leave. The artist I brought has to come over tonight to catch up on his scenes."

Even if he's not famous, he's still a minor character with a line or two.

Li Sui asked in surprise, "Then why did you come so early?"

Yu Liangliang: "I've got nothing better to do anyway. If I hadn't come sooner, would you have known about this good thing?"

"..."

Also.

Li Sui went to the rest room to change into her everyday clothes, while the weaver waited for her.

A little while later, Gao Tingzhong, who had announced a half-hour break due to the hot weather, suddenly walked over slowly with his hands behind his back.

Upon seeing the person, Yu Liangliang instinctively put on a smile: "Director."

Gao Tingzhong nodded.

The weaver glanced at Gao Tingzhong, ignoring him, and turned back to continue waiting for Li Sui.

Gao Tingzhong suddenly asked:
"What's your name? Do you like acting?"
