Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

He used to find applying makeup easy and enjoyable.

But now, with Jiang Nian standing beside him, he put in his best effort with every stroke.

He used to be able to do the makeup of ten people in an hour, but now he can't even finish half of one person's makeup in an hour.

Because I was so nervous, every stroke was like that of a beginner, slow and steady, and I even felt like I was back when I was learning to do makeup.

"Let me do it."

Jiang Nian said.

Seeing how nervous the female makeup artist was and how slowly she was doing her makeup, Jiang Nian suspected that she might not be able to finish doing the makeup for the supporting characters by the evening.

"it is good."

The female makeup artist nodded shyly, quickly handed the paintbrush to Jiang Nian, and stood aside to learn attentively.

She didn't want to miss this opportunity, and besides, she really couldn't draw anymore, so it was a good chance to relax.

As soon as the female makeup artist stood still, she realized that she was already drenched in sweat, her forehead dripping with perspiration, and she felt even more nervous than when she was taking her makeup exam.

"My God, I didn't know Teacher Jiang Nian could be so intimidating."

The female makeup artist only realized what was happening at that moment, and felt even greater awe and respect for Jiang Nian.

Over the next hour, Jiang Nian used her unparalleled skills to perfect the makeup of every supporting character.

Even the most basic coloring and smearing are done like works of art, with smooth and flowing movements that are extremely comfortable to watch. Before you know it, everyone's makeup is done.

The female makeup artist, recovering from her shock, thought to herself:
I never knew makeup could be so amazing!

You should know that she was mentored by a top makeup artist.

But I have never seen anyone in my life who has mastered makeup skills to such a high level of perfection and artistry.

When it comes to makeup skills, no one in the world can compare to Jiang Nian. It turns out that not only is Teacher Jiang Nian a great actor and a master of makeup, but he is also such a humble person.

Good heavens, which bastard is spreading rumors that Teacher Jiang Nian is a pervert?
At this moment, the female makeup artist completely abandoned her prejudice against Jiang Nian and felt that it was not that those girls were shamelessly climbing into Jiang Nian's bed, but that they were the ones who were shameless.

As the makeup artist watched Jiang Nian's departing figure, her body felt as if a thousand deer were pounding in her chest, her heart filled with infatuation.
So handsome! So beautiful! It's amazing that someone can combine both handsomeness and beauty so perfectly!
A flicker of helplessness and bitterness crossed her face as she shook her head and smiled wryly:

"With my looks, how could I possibly catch Teacher Jiang Nian's eye?"

It's better not to humiliate yourself.

After saying that, she prepared to do the makeup for the other actors.

These are all supporting actors who have important scenes with Jiang Nian.

Therefore, the requirements for makeup are extremely high.

You should know that she is a top makeup artist with a very high reputation in the industry.

Even she was impressed by Jiang Nian's makeup skills.

At this moment, as the filming of the drama officially begins, this scene happens to be the time when Dongfang Bubai is practicing his divine skill.

Brother Tian sat in the director's chair, looking at the scene on the screen in front of him with a serious expression. The camera was pointed at Jiang Nian.

The surrounding area is a stretch of bluestone bricks and deep streets made of them. Dongfang Bubai has landed here to welcome many martial arts masters who have come to challenge him.

They heard that Dongfang Bubai was here and possessed great strength, and they wanted to enhance their fame by killing Dongfang Bubai and stepping on him.

This is the best way to increase your fame:

Kill those who are ranked higher than you on the leaderboard of powerful individuals.

Once they gain fame, many people will develop a liking for them and even ask them to do missions, thus providing them with a steady stream of tasks.

Otherwise, if you can't even get on the list of the strongest, naturally no one will entrust you with important tasks, and you will have no source of income, so practicing martial arts and venturing into the martial world will be meaningless.

So when faced with the sudden appearance of hundreds of martial arts masters, Jiang Nian, who was Dongfang Bubai, merely raised the corner of his mouth and smiled disdainfully.

Now he is a super strong person after practicing the "Sunflower Manual", a true top expert, whose cultivation has completely surpassed that of first-class experts.

It should be noted that in Dongfang Bubai's world, there is no distinction between Grandmaster and Great Grandmaster; there are only three categories: Third-rate martial artist, Second-rate martial artist, and First-rate martial artist. Dongfang Bubai has already surpassed the First-rate martial artist category.

The hundreds of martial arts masters in front of them were all top-notch warriors.

What is usually a rare and precious sight for ordinary people, hundreds of such creatures have gathered here at once.

In reality, there are only two or three hundred people in the entire martial arts world who can reach the level of first-class masters. More than a hundred of them came to besiege Jiang Nian this time. As for the other second- and third-class masters, they don't even have the courage to provoke Jiang Nian.

"Dongfang Bubai, you are bloodthirsty as a demon, slaughtering innocent lives. Your crimes deserve to be punished!"

Today we are here to act on behalf of Heaven and bring you to justice!

Among these people, the middle-aged man with the highest martial arts skills wore a purple-gold crown, had a heroic air between his brows, held a long spear, and looked at Jiang Nian with intense fighting spirit in his eyes, shouting in a heavy voice.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian simply smiled dismissively. He wasn't easily intimidated; what was there to fear from a group of top-tier experts?
"how?

Dissatisfied with me?
There can only be one outcome.

Stop talking nonsense!

At this moment, Dongfang Bubai was furious and said fiercely.

During the years he was imprisoned below the cliff, he unexpectedly gained the unparalleled martial arts manual, the "Sunflower Manual."

But if he were given a chance to start over, he would rather not have such powerful martial arts skills than be knocked off the cliff again.

It was too tragic; no human being could bear it. If he hadn't been forcibly broken and fallen off the cliff, he wouldn't have chosen this path even if given a hundred chances.

Therefore, in that darkness where the sun never shines, Dongfang Bubai's resentment had already accumulated to its limit.

At this moment, facing these hundred provocative martial arts masters, Dongfang Bubai felt only anger and bloodlust. He wanted to torture and kill them all by himself!

Thinking of this, Dongfang Bubai no longer hesitated. He immediately snorted coldly and raised his hand towards the middle-aged man who had just been swaggering in front of him.

From a distance of three hundred meters, he grabbed hard.
"Star Absorbing Technique!"

With a loud rumble, the middle-aged man suddenly lost control of his body, his expression changed drastically, and he was slowly sucked towards Jiang Nian.

"what?"

The middle-aged man exclaimed, his face filled with terror.
"Isn't this just acting?"
How did I actually get sucked in?

No, it must be special effects, it must be wire work!

But he wasn't wearing any wires!

The middle-aged man was completely panicked. "What's going on?"

The other actors around them were also completely bewildered, having no idea what was happening. When did technology become so realistic? It was so lifelike that there was no trace of a prop.

"awesome!"

In an instant, the hundreds of actors playing martial arts masters couldn't help but want to put down their weapons and applaud in praise. If it weren't for the basic professionalism of actors, they probably would have cheered on the spot.

"The props team is great! Your props are really realistic!"

"Brother Tian said excitedly."

The props teacher looked completely bewildered:
"Wait, I don't remember installing this prop?"

Besides, what props these days can achieve such a realistic effect?

As a top prop master in the industry, he knows all the usable props in the circle like the back of his hand, and even has studied the characteristics of commonly used items in life, which can come in handy at critical moments.

Therefore, he was extremely confident that this was an effect that props could never achieve, and the actors' performances were also at their peak, making it seem as if they were truly screaming in terror and despair.
"Help! Help! What's going on? What's happening?"

The actor screamed as if he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, perfectly capturing the desperate cries of the character when Jiang Nian captured him with the Star Absorbing Technique in the original script. It was an extremely vivid portrayal.

"Okay, okay, let's act like that!"

Brother Tian didn't care about props at all; he was extremely satisfied with the effect, staring intently at the footage on the screen.

At this moment, Brother Tian already had the special effects that should be added in post-production in mind:
Jiang Nian opened his palm into a tiger claw shape and sucked in forcefully, then created a dazzling light, as if the middle-aged man had really been sucked in.

Meanwhile, on set, only Xu Ke realized what was going on. He looked at Jiang Nian in surprise. Just as he had thought, Jiang Nian was far more than he appeared. This was not a prop at all; it was a real ability!

Now Xu Ke finally understands why even a great director like Brother Tian speaks highly of Jiang Nian and even shows him great respect.

He knew that anyone in the industry who knew Brother Tian or had heard his rumors knew that Brother Tian was a very difficult person to get along with. He had extremely high standards for acting skills, an almost obsessive dedication, and would reshoot scenes repeatedly if things didn't go smoothly. He would even yell at actors, putting immense pressure on them.

It is precisely because of this meticulousness and dedication that he has created one classic film after another, becoming a top-notch director. This is what Xu Ke admires most about Brother Tian.

But at this moment, Xu Ke really wanted to tell Brother Tian that all of this was true!
"Crack!"

Brother Tian shouted excitedly as he announced.

He never expected that the scene he thought would be the most difficult to film would be completed in one take so easily. At this moment, Brother Tian felt like he was living in a dream.

The instant he uttered that sound, Jiang Nian immediately withdrew the Star Absorbing Technique. A second later, the middle-aged man who had been sucked in stopped in his tracks, still filled with fear.

The feeling of being sucked in was so real and intense, like his soul was being sucked away. He absolutely did not want to experience it a second time.

At this moment, the man looked at Jiang Nian with eyes full of fear.

Immediately afterward, filming began for the second scene. Tian Ge looked at Jiang Nian with delight and anticipation in his eyes:
"Teacher Jiang Nian, in this scene we mainly perform Dongfang Bubai's lightness skill 'flying on grass,' which requires running quickly across a swamp full of reeds and then flying straight up into the sky to smash the enemy with a single palm strike."

This effect is difficult to achieve. We've already prepared the advanced filming equipment; the challenge lies in realistically portraying the "flying over the grass" scene.

Brother Tian felt a little heavy-hearted, even though he wasn't a professional martial arts drama director.

As a top-tier director, even if he hasn't filmed it, he still understands the challenges involved.

Therefore, he was very clear that even for a very talented martial arts director, it would be extremely difficult to film this scene well.

"Director Xu, do you have any suggestions for this part?"

Tian Ge looked at Xu Ke and thought that since he wasn't a professional martial arts director, he should just leave it to the professionals.

Xu Ke is a very influential director in the martial arts film industry. If he says how a film should be shot, then there is basically no other way.

Xu shook his head, both amused and exasperated.

"Director Tian, ​​what you said is indeed the most difficult part to film in martial arts dramas. Even I don't have a good solution. We can only rely on the actors to improvise."

to be honest……"

At this point, Xu Ke recalled the many martial arts dramas he had filmed before, none of which satisfied him.

After all, none of us can actually fly or perform light-body skills, so how could we possibly achieve something as realistic as 'flying over grass'?

Even with the help of top-notch wire work, it was extremely difficult for them to step on every single reed while they were floating. It was considered good if they could step on a few while running at high speed.

So the effect of the photos is that it looks like they are walking on air, and the surrounding reeds become the background, making it look out of place.

But this is the best possible outcome; there's nothing more that can be done.

But now that Jiang Nian is personally filming this scene, Xu Ke is actually looking forward to it, her eyes filled with anticipation as she excitedly says:

“Teacher Jiang Nian, I think if you were to direct this scene, it might be a success, and it might even become a classic moment.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian smiled and nodded, speaking in a father-in-law's tone:
"Director, thank you for your recognition. We will do our best."

Xu Ke immediately burst into laughter:

"Okay, okay, with Teacher Jiang Nian's words, I can rest assured!"
"Director Tian, ​​don't worry. Since Teacher Jiang Nian said so today, there's definitely no problem. Just watch and see."

"Okay, let's begin!"

Brother Tian said directly.

Then, Jiang Nian and Xu Ke looked intently at the film set, their eyes filled with anticipation.

At this moment, everyone was filled with excitement and curiosity. Even the actors who had finished filming stood around, unwilling to leave, wanting to witness this wonderful scene for themselves.

"No need for wires anymore."

Jiang Nian suddenly made the suggestion.

"what?"

Brother Tian was stunned, his face full of surprise, and he hurriedly said:
"Teacher Jiang Nian, what do you mean by this?"

"Our film requires us to film 'water-skimming' skills, how can we film that without wire work?"

Brother Tian looked at Jiang Nian with a puzzled expression, as if he had heard a fairy tale.

Even knowing that Jiang Nian is a good actor.

But in situations like this, acting skills alone aren't enough to accomplish it.

Xu Ke looked at Jiang Nian thoughtfully, a thought that she could hardly believe:

Could it be that Teacher Jiang Nian really knows kung fu?
Considering Jiang Nian's ability to grab someone from a distance just now, it's not surprising that he knows light-body skills. So he said:
"Director Tian, ​​let Teacher Jiang Nian give it a try."

Brother Tian was completely stunned:
"Xu Ke, Jiang Nian is an actor. He doesn't understand the importance of filming. He can just say whatever he wants, but why are you, the director, joining in this nonsense?" (End of Chapter)
