509 Blessing From Above
Filming Set 1.
Lin Yue the Heroine was the work of the top tier director. Hence, the scene on the set was way bigger and flashier than the previous studio.
Chen Xiaobei was bedazzled by the various props and décor. Everything was made down to the finest details. However, even after hanging around for so long, he had not seen the face of the main female character.
"Go and get your costume ready. Be sure to listen and obey the scene's director. I'll be taking my leave now." Assistant Huang dropped Chen Xiaobei off, leaving him alone.
Chen Xiaobei shrugged and went towards the costume trailer to change. After some makeup and costume change, Chen Xiaobei became a black masked assassin from an ancient era. He felt heroic and cool at the same time. However, when he exited the trailer, he saw that there were more than ten actors wearing the same outfit. All of them looked the same. With the mask on, there was no telling who was who.
"F*ck me. With so many people looking exactly like me, how can the audience appreciate my good looks?!" Chen Xiaobei felt a little cheated and cursed Assistant Huang in his heart. Truth be told, what was the use of him being there? There was no chance for him to reveal his face to the world!
"Alright. Assassins! Listen up! Get down to the floor and lay there! In this scene, you guys are corpses!" One of the crew members shouted followed by several of the assassins lying on the ground motionless.
"Act? Corpse? F*ck it all! Is he trying to make a fool me?" Chen Xiaobei felt betrayed while cursing with all his might.
What was the meaning of having to act with Tang Mengwan? Was all that just a scam?
F*ck it all!
"Hey, you! Whoever you are! Why are you still standing? Get down! Tang will descend down from that spot! Listen up!" The same crew member screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Yes… sir…" Chen Xiaobei replied despondently. He was already annoyed at the fact that he was tricked into playing a side character. However, he had already gone through all the trouble to change into the assassin outfit. Might as well just lie down and rest.
"Director Feng on deck!"
A few minutes of silence, Chen Xiaobei could hear someone announcing the arrival of Director Feng. The entire studio got rowdy all of a sudden. Chen Xiaobei was lazy to get up. He turned his head sideways and saw the director. The man had the walking pace of an army general. Upon his arrival, everyone was nervous and excited. However, with just a raise of his hands in the air, the studio was silenced. His name was Feng Yaolun. The man had a medium-sized body and a face that could freeze the air around him.
It seems like the director was some big shot figure; he was only invited to the set when everything was ready to roll.
"Everyone ready!"
Feng glanced at all the props and actors before jotting down important aspects in detail that needed to be changed or adjusted. After a few minor adjustments were made, the man picked up the clapperboard and screamed.
"Action!"
*Whoosh…*
All of a sudden, a cool breeze blew across the set. Sakura petals fell from the ceiling of the set and drifted around the set like snow. It was made to look like the real scene. If he could, Chen Xiaobei would have clapped at the well-made scene.
Amidst the flower petals, a beautiful woman dressed in an ancient Chinese gown descended from the upper deck of the set. Her dress fluttered in the air, portraying the illusion of her being a goddess.
Needless to say, she was extremely beautiful. From where he was laying down, it was the perfect angle to witness the entrance of a beautiful actress. She was China's entertainment best actress! Tang Mengwan.
Hidden beneath the almost transparent silk hem, the outline of her face and body was made visible to the world. The green dress was completely plastered to her skin as she glided downward. However, her beautiful was merely the beginning. What truly brought her to fame was her ability to portray elegance and nobility. Men would want to have her dominated; both heart and body.
At the moment, for a split second, Chen Xiaobei could not help but think of another girl. That one maiden that he had slept with and turned her into a fine woman. She was just like the goddess that was gliding through the air. A heavenly beauty. The kind of which that had never been contaminated by the ugliness of the society. She was, either better, or almost the same as Tang Mengwan.
At that moment, Chen Xiaobei gazed at the ceiling.
"Ah… My goddess… You're the first woman to share a bed with me… Do I ever have the chance to see you again?" Chen Xiaobei muttered to himself. At that moment, Tang Mengwan was right above Chen Xiaobei. For a split second, the two of them made eye contact with each other. Both of them were stunned.
"F*CK! CRAP! Tang! She…!"
Chen Xiaobei could not stop staring above him. Before he realized it, he was already salivating like a horny dog!
Tang slowly descended down, not knowing what had happened. Her long dress was blown slightly too high above her pelvis. Be it luck or reason, Chen Xiaobei was enjoying the magnificent view under her skirt!
The superstar of China, Tang Mengwan had just exposed herself!
Her smooth fair thighs were like that of a Roman sculpture! Best of all, in between the gaps of her thighs, Chen Xiaobei could see the slightly transparent undergarment. That hidden yet slightly exposed scenery was truly blissful to Chen Xiaobei.
"This must be a blessing from above! My god! I'd been complaining for the whole day but only now I realized, assuming the role of a corpse is the best!" Chen Xiaobei almost gave up up the role after feeling cheated. However, at that instance, he felt extremely thankful to the assistant that had dragged him there. Who in the entire of China could enjoy the luxury of seeing all of Tang Mengwan? From that angle as well! Chen Xiaobei was the only one! How could he not feel happy!
*Caclop… caclop…*
Not a few seconds later, a white horse came trotting by. Sitting on top was a handsome man dressed completely whit. Although Chen Xiaobei did not want to admit it, the man was exceptionally manly. That was the main character, Zhuang Bufan.
The scene that they were filming then was the first encounter of the female and male main character after Tang Mengwan had killed all the assassins. Such a scene was intended to be a transition from brutal to romantic. A poem-like dream.
Yet, somehow, Chen Xiaobei was not convinced. Sensing something amiss, he frowned.
The horse started off with light trotting yet the male character had started to whip the reins of the horse, forcing the beast to charge towards all the "dead". Was he planning to trample them? Was he out of his mind?
"CUT! CUT! Zhuang Bufan! Slow down! What are you doing?! You're supposed to follow the script! Ride in slowly!" Director Feng immediately got up from his director's seat and screamed towards the set.
However, despite having the clapperboard snapped a few times, Zhuang refused to listen. Instead, he turned his head back and said, "Director. I understand the script and the scene. At this point, I'm supposed to rush over. Only that would I be able to portray the male character's mightiness. I'm improvising!"
"Bullshit! There are so many actors lying there! You must stop now!" Feng roared.
Still, Zhuang Bufan refused to listen. "Those actors are expendable. I'll pay for whatever damages inflicted on them! Just shoot the scene properly!"
"Crap! He's not stopping! Run guys!"
When the "dead" assassins heard Zhuang Bufan's declaration, all of them got up from their positions and ran away. If that horse were to trample them, they would not be playing dead anymore! They would actually be dead!
"Stupid fools! Who said you can move!" Zhuang Bufan bellowed.
With everyone running away frantically and Zhuang's raging roar, the white horse that he was riding grew anxious and started to galloped with speed.
"ARGH!"
At that moment, Tang shrieked. "Stop! Please stop! The line! The steel line is stuck!"
"Whoa…" Zhuang Bufan panicked. Everyone else on the set was expendable, but not her! Unfortunately, no matter how hard Zhuang tried to stop the horse, it would not stop running.
"This is bad…" Tang Mengwan started to fear for her life. Her tiny fragile body would not hold well against the impact of a rampaging horse.
"Fear not, for I am here."
At that critical moment, a playful voice was heard coming from beneath Tang Mengwan's foot. She looked down and saw Chen Xiaobei, who gave her a perverted wink.
