Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

At this moment, Brother Tian stared anxiously at Xu Ke. He would not agree if Xu Ke did not give a reasonable explanation today.

How could such a great director make such a basic mistake?
You know, if Jiang Nian were to accidentally fall into the swamp, it would be a major accident!
Even if Jiang Nian can swim, it won't help. That's a very wide lake, you can't even see the end of it. If Jiang Nian accidentally falls in while filming, who knows how deep or shallow it is?
If it's extremely dangerous, he can't afford to take that responsibility.

You have to understand that Jiang Nian has the National Security Department behind him. How could he possibly offend them?
Even if you add up the entire circle, it wouldn't be worth a single hair on Jiang Nian's head.

At that time, those circles, such as the Beijing circle or the larger circles, will be nothing more than small circles in the face of the National Security Department, and their presence will be of no use.

After all, no matter how big your circle is, it's still within the entire arts and culture circle. Even the entire arts and culture circle can't compare to a single hair on Jiang Nian's head, let alone those so-called Beijing circles, which are even less worth mentioning.

If something really goes wrong, even if he brings his own head to meet his superiors, he still won't be able to explain it.

Because it was specifically instructed that even if the sky were to fall, Jiang Nian must not be in any danger.

If he dared to put Jiang Nian in any danger, the consequences would be predictable; he would definitely be in deep trouble.

"Director Tian, ​​that's not what I meant."

Seeing Tian Ge's aggressive look, as if he wanted to devour him alive, like a hungry wolf, Xu Ke's heart skipped a beat, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and he was both amused and exasperated.

To be honest, how could he possibly make baseless accusations?
Without his previous collaboration with Jiang Nian, he certainly wouldn't have been able to do this; he's not a new director.

Please, Director Tian, ​​can you even tell who I am?

I am Xu Ke, Xu Ke!

I've made many classic films, how could I possibly make such a basic mistake?
Shouldn't you think carefully about why I said that?
But at this moment, Brother Tian was still angry and didn't care about the reason.

Even if I'm absolutely certain, I just don't believe it!

If Jiang Nian gets into trouble, and Bai Yongxu, the leader of the State Security Department, comes to hold me accountable, how will I explain myself?
When the time comes, I'll have to carry my head to the report. Can you carry your own head to the report for me?

If Xu Ke knew what Brother Tian was thinking at this moment, he would probably be completely shocked.

After all, in his view, this was just a small matter.

“Teacher Jiang Nian, no matter what, we must bring the wire work. Safety must be the top priority, otherwise we can’t film this movie.”

Brother Tian said with a serious expression that he would absolutely not allow anyone to break this rule.

Looking at Brother Tian's unquestionable gaze, Jiang Nian was both amused and exasperated. It seemed that he probably couldn't go against Director Tian's decision.

After all, Director Tian was right; he couldn't do something so special.

If you want to test whether you can perform the feat of walking on water safely, you can do so after filming is over.

What I'm doing now is putting pressure on Director Tian and putting him in a dilemma, which is making things difficult for him.

Jiang Nian couldn't help but feel a little guilty, realizing that he had indeed been too arrogant.

Over this period of time, his breakthroughs in cultivation and the improvement in strength have made him feel invincible, even believing that there is nothing he cannot do. He never expected that he would still have such a childish mentality.

Jiang Nian was both amused and exasperated, and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

But in the blink of an eye, his eyes suddenly became much brighter and clearer, as if filled with determination.

At this moment, Jiang Nian's eyes lit up, filled with surprise, as if his cultivation level had improved again.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that since he reached his current level, the techniques he had been cultivating seemed to have improved without him having to rely on acting.

Even if one suddenly has a slight enlightenment in one's state of mind, just like those cultivators in fantasy novels, it can greatly help improve one's strength.

This is really interesting. So this is what it feels like to cultivate immortality. Jiang Nian likes this feeling more and more. He is glad that today is a blessing in disguise.

"Director, I'll do as you say. Put on the wires, let's film properly, let's start now."

Jiang Nian said excitedly.

This left Brother Tian, ​​who had just been racking his brains trying to persuade Jiang Nian, completely stunned. He was so surprised that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Then he nodded quickly:
"Alright, alright, what are you all standing there for? Let's get started!"

Brother Tian glanced around at the props team members and actors who were still watching the commotion, waved them back to their workstations, and told them to get ready immediately.

Xu Ke was also a little confused. This wasn't right, was it?
Just a second ago, Jiang Nian was insisting on trying the light-footed skill of walking on water. How did he suddenly change his mind?

Are you kidding me?

Feeling like a clown, Xu Ke blushed and felt so ashamed that she wanted to disappear. At that moment, she felt her face turn bright red.

"Nobody should be watching me, right?"

Xu Ke looked around like a frightened little mouse, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that every teacher was busy preparing for the event and had no time to pay attention to him.

"Okay, okay, at least no one saw me like this, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to work in this production crew anymore."

With this little incident over, everything is now ready.

Tian looked at the footage recorded on his camera, which showed an endless expanse of water covered with reeds.

Jiang Nian was dressed in blood-red clothes, which was the distinctive attire of Dongfang Bubai.

At this moment, a figure could be seen on the shore, dressed in flowing red robes, her fingers delicately gesturing as she gazed at the boundless reeds before her. Her arched eyebrows were strikingly beautiful. This was Jiang Nian dressed as Dongfang Bubai.

Looking at Jiang Nian's profile as seen in the camera footage.

Even Brother Tian was stunned. Beautiful, so beautiful. Who would have thought that this was actually a man dressed up as a woman? It was truly flawless.

"Teacher Jiang Nian."

"We can start preparing now."

Brother Tian shouted excitedly.

Jiang Nian nodded slightly, looking ahead. At this moment, the wire was already fastened around his waist. He would be lifted up by the wire as soon as the director yelled "action".

Then it flew swiftly over this vast body of water.

At that point, all he needs to do is make a gesture as if he is flying, stepping on reeds to demonstrate his flying posture.

It can be said to be extremely difficult.

After all, it's impossible for any ordinary person to accurately step on the top of the scattered, unpredictable reeds when they can't see straight ahead and make precise judgments. For Jiang Nian, this was an inconceivable and impossible task.

Therefore, Tian Ge and his team had very low requirements for this scene; they only needed to hit four or five spots during the flight.

After all, this was a long shot, and the reeds that Jiang Nian flew over covered an entire acre, with at least tens of thousands of reeds.

But you only need to step on four or five of them, which is a one percent chance.

It was incredibly easy; even the worst luck could lead to a hit. So, the scene was basically filmed in one take, and nobody really had high expectations.

"start!"

Brother Tian immediately shouted excitedly, his eyes fixed intently on the screen.

He wanted to see what kind of brilliant performance Jiang Nian could put on at this moment.

In this extremely narrow space, what kind of amazing talent can Jiang Nian still display?
This is something that Brother Tian is very curious about.

Although he has never filmed a martial arts drama.

But even if you haven't eaten pork, have you never seen a pig run?

In the martial arts dramas he had seen, it was virtually impossible for actors to perfectly portray the skill of walking on water.

For example, many actors can perform the action of lightly stepping on the water without losing their balance.

That's already considered incredibly skillful.

However, such cases are extremely rare, even extremely few.

Even so, if you manage to step on the reeds even once without them being trampled, it would still be considered a classic moment.

It will be played repeatedly to present a very exciting scene.

Therefore, Tian Ge was confident that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Jiang Nian would be able to land four or five hits.

Even if the flight is successful.

"Director Xu Ke, do you think Teacher Jiang Nian will succeed?"

At this moment, as the wire harness was activated, the wire around Jiang Nian's waist began to feel a slight tension. Tian Ge asked Xu Ke curiously.

"I think Teacher Jiang Nian will definitely be fine, Brother Tian."

Xu Ke said calmly, his eyes filled with anticipation, though others didn't believe him.

But he certainly believed it.

Previously, when filming the TV series "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", Jiang Nian played the role of Dongfang Bubai. At that time, Jiang Nian's performance could be described as divine and superb.

The martial arts moves in the show were so incredible that they made people wonder if they were real martial arts. It was impossible for them to be special effects when they were broadcast live. He was shocked at the time.

Every time I think about it afterward, I am still deeply shocked.

It's terrifying, absolutely terrifying. No wonder even Director Tian treats Jiang Nian with great respect.

Xu Ke isn't stupid; he knows everything about the industry.

Even a top-tier national director like Brother Tian has to give Jiang Nian face, which can only mean one thing: the background behind Jiang Nian is far beyond what a so-called top director can compare to.

After all, given Brother Tian's status.

If Jiang Nian were really just an ordinary national first-class actor, he certainly wouldn't treat Jiang Nian well, and might even curse at him, without any concern whatsoever.

Moreover, Brother Tian is known in the industry for being strict and unforgiving. It is said that during the years he was filming, many actresses were afraid of being scolded by him, and some even broke down in tears after being scolded by him. At one point, no one was willing to work with him.

Ultimately, it was precisely because he had fewer and fewer actors at his disposal, and eventually no one left to use, that he had to fade out of the directing industry. If he hadn't earned a lot of money in advance and had a pension, he probably would have already found another way to make a living and left the directing industry by now.

Faced with such a predicament, any normal person would understand.

If you want to continue pursuing your dream of becoming a director, you must change your bad habits, get along peacefully with others, and learn from each other.

Instead of criticizing and hurling insults at others.

But Brother Tian stubbornly refused to change his mind, and even insisted on his own opinion: "You can't become useful without being scolded, and you can't become a talent without being beaten."

He always manages to leave others speechless.

If it weren't for Tian Ge's persistence that made every drama he starred in a hit, who would even know him now?

Because they knew that even if Brother Tian faced difficulties, he would not back down in the slightest.

So when Xu Ke saw how polite Brother Tian was to Jiang Nian, he already knew the answer in his heart: there was an extremely terrifying existence standing behind Jiang Nian.

To know.

Even some famous celebrities, no matter how good their acting skills are, don't give Brother Tian any face at all. That's Brother Tian for you.

"start!"

With a loud shout from Brother Tian, ​​the wires were fully deployed, and Jiang Nian's body began to lift off the ground.

Jiang Nian's eyes lit up as he looked at his feet, which were now a tiny, almost imperceptible distance from the ground.

But he could feel it very clearly: if Jiang Nian didn't tiptoe forward...

It could no longer touch the ground; it had already separated from the ground by a slight distance, which meant that the wire work was now in place.

After all, during actual filming, you can't let the actors or the audience clearly see that the actor is being suspended in mid-air. Otherwise, everyone would know that it's wire work, it's fake, there's no sense of realism, and it's not interesting.

Therefore, in order to maintain realism, Jiang Nian's feet were almost completely pressed against the ground, and the slight separation was not easily noticeable.

Immediately, a sound of gears turning was heard, followed by the sight of Jiang Nian's body leaning slightly forward.

"Teacher Jiang Nian, the next step is to start the rapid leap. At this time, you need to put all your effort into stepping on the ground."

It's as if they're floating on water; that's how you create a truly realistic effect.

Brother Tian was still earnestly explaining the details.

“I know, director.”

Jiang Nian nodded seriously, then looked straight ahead, not daring to relax in the slightest.

In such a tense moment, everyone held their breath, not daring to relax even slightly, lest the overly tense atmosphere cause Jiang Nian to underperform.

Seeing that everything was ready, Brother Tian nodded slightly to the prop master in charge of controlling the wire work and held up three fingers:
"Three, two, one, start!"

brush!
At Brother Tian's command, the prop master immediately pressed the switch, and the entire wire harness suddenly shot forward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The wire itself is equivalent to a crane.

Moreover, it was a modified crane.

For example, its shore-based crane: the anchor rod on Jiang Nian's body can extend quickly, up to a hundred meters away, while the crane itself remains stationary; however, this is also its limit. (End of Chapter)
