Huayu, my cheat code is a bit strange.

Chapter 83 The Outlaw, Part 2 (Please read on, please recommend, please do everything!)

Time passed by minute by minute.

Zhou Xiaowen paced anxiously back and forth in front of the rest area, the script in her hand rolled into a tube, unconsciously tapping her palm.

Zhang Jizhong sat under a parasol not far away, slowly sipping his tea, his sarcasm almost impossible to conceal.

In the midst of this suffocating wait, a gasp suddenly came from the corner.

"Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu, don't move around!"

Luo Rui looked helplessly at the restless little guy on his shoulder.

Xiao Jiu was perched on Luo Rui's shoulder, its little paws anxiously patting Luo Rui's ears, its eyes fixed on the entrance to the film studio.

"What's going on?" Hu Jun asked, frowning as he was drawn by the commotion.

Gao Hu also came over, looking at the restless squirrel, and asked curiously, "Does this little guy sense something?"

Liu Yifei suddenly raised her head, her gaze passing over the crowd and looking at the empty entrance.

Just then, a deep engine roar came from afar, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

Everyone's attention, including Zhang Jizhong and Zhou Xiaowen's, was involuntarily drawn to it.

At the end of the dusty dirt road, a black motorcycle burst through the smoke and dust, executed a clean drift, and came to a steady stop outside the film crew's fence.

The rider deftly flipped off the bike.

He was wearing a simple black T-shirt and white sweatpants, with an upright posture, and he raised his hand to take off his helmet.

Under the sunlight, Gu Xiao's well-defined face was clearly visible to everyone.

His gaze calmly swept across the entire room, finally landing on Zhou Xiaowen, and he grinned, saying:

"I'm not late, am I?"

There was silence.

Everyone was stunned by this unexpected entrance.

Zhang Jizhong's hand holding the teacup froze in mid-air, his sarcastic expression instantly solidified, and his eyes turned gloomy.

Zhou Xiaowen was taken aback at first, then rolled her eyes and burst into a tirade:
"Can't you just give me a break?"

"Sorry, sorry."

Gu Xiao chuckled, left the motorcycle helmet on the bike, and strode into the film set.

Zhou Xiaowen was so angry that he threw the script tube in his hand at him: "You dare to ride a motorcycle here? Do you want me to set up a stage for you to do a fashion show?"

Gu Xiao easily caught the script that was thrown at her, a smile playing on her lips:

"If you're willing to give me a ride, I'll definitely go along with it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaowen sprayed him in the face:
"Get the hell out of here!"

At this moment, Xiao Jiu jumped down from Luo Rui's shoulder, darted through the crowd, and climbed onto Gu Xiao's shoulder in a few quick movements, its fluffy tail proudly held high.

"Chirp—!" (Well done! Big reward!)

It patted Gu Xiao's cheek with its little paws, looking pleased.

Gu Xiao turned her head to avoid Xiao Jiu's claws, looking disgusted as she said:

"It's filthy, get away from it."

Xiao Jiu's eyes widened instantly, she screamed, and waved her little paws wildly:
"Chirp! Chirp—!" (Nonsense! I lick it every day! It's definitely not dirty!)
Gu Xiao's lips twitched slightly; she felt it was necessary to thoroughly clean the rooms in her house.

"Alright, alright, let's get ready for the opening ceremony!"

Zhou Xiaowen interrupted the somewhat comical interaction between the human and the rat with annoyance, waving her hand to shoo Gu Xiao away, "Go change your clothes, we're waiting for you!"

Gu Xiao shrugged, took Xiao Jiu off his shoulder and handed her back to Luo Rui, then followed the staff to the temporary dressing room.

Seeing him walk into the dressing room, Yu Min couldn't help but lean closer to Zhang Jizhong and whisper:
"Does this kid even know the rules? He didn't even come to greet you?"

Zhang Jizhong snorted coldly, not replying, but his tightly pursed lips and sinister eyes said it all.

Before long, Gu Xiao changed into a simple costume—Duan Yu's early white scholar attire, which made him look even more upright and handsome.

When he reappeared at the ceremony, even Zhang Jizhong, who disliked him, had to admit that the young man's physical appearance was indeed impeccable.

…… ……

The opening ceremony was held on the largest open space in the center of the film studio.

The altar was already prepared, and various offerings were displayed on the table covered with red cloth.

The main creators and actors of the production team are arranged in order of seniority and importance of their roles.

As the executive producer, Zhang Jizhong was naturally the key figure, but he was feeling frustrated and had no interest in going through the motions, so he handed over the command of the opening ceremony directly to Zhou Xiaowen.

The latter naturally had no objection and began reciting the blessing without hesitation, followed by respectfully offering incense.

Next were Zhang Jizhong, Hu Jun, Gao Hu, Gu Xiao, and others.

Liu Yifei is young and has a small role, so she can only be ranked in the middle to lower position this time.

After everything was over, Zhou Xiaowen and Zhang Jizhong stepped forward together and grabbed a corner of the red cloth covering the main camera.

"May filming of 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils' begin soon!"

With a shout from the two men, the red cloth was suddenly ripped off, revealing a brand-new camera underneath.

"Good luck with the start of filming!" The entire cast and crew responded in unison, and thunderous applause erupted.

The firecrackers that had been prepared were lit, and the sound instantly filled the entire film studio.

Once everything settled down, the reporters who came to interview were asked to leave, and the crew officially began filming.

"Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" is a big-budget production with complex character relationships. The crew will not start with high-difficulty action scenes on the first day. Instead, they will choose simple dialogue scenes to allow the various departments to practice and check whether all equipment is working properly.

To bring good luck and get it done in one take, the subject of the shoot was naturally Hu Jun, who had the most acting experience.

Gu Xiao was now free, so she leaned back in her folding chair and closed her eyes to doze off.

Xiao Jiu lay on his head, also drowsy.

"You two are really taking it easy."

Liu Yifei approached without anyone noticing.

Gu Xiao didn't even lift her eyelids, and lazily said, "Otherwise what? Do you expect me to help the lighting technician carry reflectors?"

Xiao Jiu raised her head slightly, saw that it was Liu Yifei, gave a perfunctory "chirp" as a greeting, and then lay back down.

Liu Yifei sat down on the empty folding chair next to him, tilting her head to look at him: "Why did you come on a motorcycle?"

Gu Xiao kept her eyes closed. "None of the drivers know the location, so I have to figure it out myself."

Liu Yifei became even more curious and pressed on, "Then how did you know the location?"

Gu Xiao didn't speak and continued to close her eyes to rest.

Liu Yifei was so angry she wanted to bite him. She looked around to make sure her mother wasn't nearby, and was about to pounce on the bastard without a care for her image when she suddenly remembered a crucial question and paused, saying:
"Where did you get your motorcycle?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Gu Xiao's expression stiffened for a moment, and then he turned his body to the other side, turning the back of his head towards her.

Liu Yifei didn't urge him, but just quietly looked at him, her gaze intense and unwavering.

Gu Xiao kept her eyes closed for half a minute, but finally couldn't take it anymore and reluctantly opened her eyes, saying:

“A white-bearded immortal said that I had extraordinary bones and was a martial arts prodigy, and that’s why he gave it to me.”

"Do you take me for a fool?"

"You can try to believe it."

Liu Yifei suddenly recalled a recent Hong Kong news story, narrowed her eyes, and spoke with a slightly mocking tone:

"What if I see the police coming to arrest you in a bit?"

Gu Xiao said speechlessly, "Am I that vulgar?"

After saying that, he took out two wires from his pocket and tossed them lightly:

"I stole it."

Liu Yifei: “.”
