Xia Qingshao was resolute in character, once he set his mind to something, he persisted until the end. Knowing that Revered Wen was making things difficult for Shen Jinyou, deliberately not wanting to take him as a disciple, he still agreed to his terms without hesitation.
Shen Jinyou was also gifted and intelligent, far from being an ordinary person. Under the training of Xia Qingshao, he achieved remarkable results within just a few months.
Today was the day when Revered Wen would test Shen Jinyou.
This was a crucial scene for Shen Jinyou, and the film crew had also put in an enormous amount of effort and luxury into the set and prop preparation. Ye Xian, in order to save on manpower and resources for the crew, rehearsed the scene numerous times in his mind. When suspended by the wire rigging, he focused his attention on getting into character, aiming for a perfect take in one try.
The first shot, light-footedness over the hidden posts.
"Good, actors to your positions!"
Zeng Minghui called out in front of the camera with his microphone. The previously calm film set suddenly stirred with activity.
He turned to look and saw a light grey Rolls-Royce parked outside the set, followed by a nanny van unloading various food trolleys.
Pang Kai opened the car door, and Bo Tingshen stepped out.
"President Bo is here! President Bo is here!"
"President Bo has come to visit the set~"
"President Bo is treating everyone to afternoon tea!"
Conquest of the World was a production of Star Entertainment; the presence of the big BOSS on set underscored the importance and high expectations he had for the drama, and the excitement among all the actors and crew members was palpable—they gathered around in a buzz. Zeng Minghui was also ready to call a halt to the current scene.
As soon as Bo Tingshen got out of the car, he saw Ye Xian hanging in midair.
The young man was dressed in a silver robe, his long hair tied up high, standing in midair looking at the lotus pond in front of him with focused attention, seemingly unaware of the commotion on the set. His hands and feet kept moving as if he were practicing something.
"Hold up, let’s pause for this scene for a moment..."
Zeng Minghui had just intended to cut the scene, but he was stopped.
Bo Tingshen: "Let’s finish this scene first."
"Three, two, one, action!"
With the director’s cue, Ye Xian immediately flew out.
The breeze stirred, and the young man’s silver robe embroidered with cloud patterns along with the black ribbon on his rested hair danced in the wind. Elegant and graceful like a high-soaring crane, he displayed the natural grace of flowing clouds and water while retaining the spirited air of youth. He flew over a pond brimming with blooming lotuses, lightly touching the hidden posts with the tips of his feet as if skimming the water, leaving behind only a ripple on the surface before passing on swiftly.
"It’s like an immortal descending from the heavens!"
"Ye Xian’s expression and movement control are really awesome!"
"Every time I watch Ye Xian act, it’s like he becomes a different person."
"Why does Ye Xian always manage to bring a sense of sophistication to each scene he acts in?"
"That’s because our Brother Ye is naturally an ethereal man!"
Zhou Lu declared proudly, glancing over at President Bo.
Even President Bo was spellbound, watching intently—such was the charisma of Brother Ye!
This scene demanded extremely stringent action performances from the actor. Zeng Minghui had thought he’d have to yell "cut" frequently but was astonished that Ye Xian performed every rhythm point, every movement, and every detail to perfection, flawless and beyond reproach!
He never failed to surprise him anew each time.
Today was especially fortunate that the CEO himself was here ’supervising the work,’ and Ye Xian truly did him proud!
The second challenge, Sakura Rain. Since Yanliu Mountain had no cherry blossom trees, the crew brought in a simulated cherry blossom tree, and several crew members dressed in green vigorously swayed it from behind while scattering petals.
