Chapter 430 - 430 Double Take
430 Double Take
Everyone immediately returned to their seats.
The prop master pulled the fake horse over and motioned for Su Feifei to go up.
On the other hand, Wang Ya got on a real horse. When she saw the fake horse, her face turned even uglier and she turned her head to the side.
The next second, a crisp voice was heard.
“Give me a real horse.” Su Feifei said, “This won’t be easy to ride.”
There was a second of silence in the crew.
Wang Ya immediately turned her head and stared at her with a frown.
What was this newcomer up to this time?
“Give it to her, give it to her!”
A few staff members were excitedly shouting at the side.
Half of the people present had watched the live stream before and had seen Su Feifei’s performance.
However, that was through the screen after all. Maybe everything there was scripted! They still couldn’t make the connection with the scene. It wasn’t until Su Feifei said she would take a real horse that everyone came to a sudden realization!
Su Feifei could ride a horse!
“Don’t try to show off, kid.”
Wang Ya spoke slowly, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper. “We’re understaffed today. You can’t just ride a horse whenever you want. Besides, they didn’t prepare any extra horses today. This one is for my daily use. They’re not familiar with the ones they brought from the crew’s stables. What if you get injured? These people can’t just drop everything to take care of you. What’s the point of filming?”
“I won’t get hurt.” Su Feifei said.
Wang Ya was so angry that she could only scoff.
She had been in the industry for a long time, but this was the first time she had encountered such a brazen thing!
Showing off and being unprofessional must be common now, was it really that easy to survive in this industry now?
“Su Feifei, she’s right.” Director Sun came over. “I’m really not familiar with the horses here. Even our props department need a few days to…”
Before he finished speaking, someone from the props team had already led the horse over.
Su Feifei immediately pulled the reins.
As soon as Director Sun’s voice rang out, Su Feifei stepped onto the horse’s back.
Her movements were as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water, there was zero hesitation behind her movements.
“Go!”
Su Feifei wrapped her legs around the horse’s belly and galloped back.
Everyone exclaimed! Then, they took out their phones and started taking pictures!
Director Sun was so excited that he was trembling. “S-she…”
She looked absolutely handsome!
If this could be shot in real life, it would provide the best shot for the TV series!
Su Feifei stopped her horse.
“Can we start now?”
She looked at Wang Ya. Wang Ya had already put away her shocked expression and squinted at Su Feifei.
“Sure.”
She didn’t expect Su Feifei to really know how to ride a horse, but riding and acting were two different things.
So what if he could ride a horse? She didn’t even bring the script.
“Start shooting!”
Director Sun was very excited and stood in front of the monitor.
He deliberately zoomed out on the scene of her riding the horse.
He asked Su Feifei to ride the horse alone with Wang Ya for a chase scene, and then he went into the main topic.
This scene was of Su Qianqian dodging an arrow on the back of her horse. Then, she would roar and order the city gate to open.
Wang Ya’s oath was to chased after Su Qianqian, and the two had a short scene together.
The camera zoomed in.
Wang Ya held herself back. She was worried that she would be too immersed and that the kid would not be able to work around unscripted lines.
“Action!”
Director Sun gave the order.
The horse galloped!
Wang Ya straightened her body on the horse and drew her bow.
“Waa!” The surrounding people exclaimed in admiration.
That was amazing!
As expected of a veteran actor!
After so many years, the fight scenes came naturally to her!
“I heard that Wang Ya went to the grassland to learn horsemanship for half a year just for this scene!”
“She’s even been working out recently so that her body shape can better fit the character that’s a woman disguised as a man!”
“She’s really dedicated to her work. We could learn a thing or two from her!”
The bow and arrows were fully drawn.
She sent it forward!
Su Feifei immediately turned her head.
During the fight scene, Wang Ya was even more shocked with the reaction compared to when Su Feifei mounted the horse!
That was because Su Feifei didn’t follow the original movements mentioned in the script at all!
They were improvisational movements written down, but the movements she showed were natural and smooth, allowing the scene to look absolutely natural.
It was as if Su Feifei would pick up the call no matter how she called!
However, not a single arrow landed!
“You must have a death wish!” Wang Ya read out her lines.
“Those who offend my Earth City are the ones who are really looking for death!”
The voice was even sharper than a sword, and it directly pierced through the air!
For a moment, Wang Ya felt that she was facing a real famous general on the battlefield!
She was in a daze for a moment.
“Cut!”
Director Sun saw it on the monitor and shouted for the cameras to stop rolling.
Wang Ya’s face turned red when she stopped.
She stared at Su Feifei in disbelief.
Su Feifei quickly came back to her senses.
“It’s… My line.” Wang Ya raised her hand and looked at Su Feifei with a complicated expression.
The surroundings were in an uproar!
What did they just hear?
Whose line was it?
Wang Ya actually didn’t catch Su Feifei’s act? How?!
“Again,” Wang Ya said through gritted teeth.
This round was successfully passed.
Although Wang Ya couldn’t help but step back when Su Feifei shouted and roared, she still held on.
Director Sun’s jaw almost fell off when he saw it on the monitor!
He stared at Su Feifei’s video and played it over and over again.
Whether it was her posture as she urged the horse forward or her final roar as she opened the city gate, everything she did was perfect
She and the character were completely in harmony!
On the other hand, it was Wang Ya who was struggling…
“Take a reshoot of my scene later.” Wang Ya came over and said, “I didn’t perform well just now.”
No one dared to speak.
Wang Ya said she didn’t perform well? What kind of opposite day was this?
She was the best actress for three consecutive years!
The assistant quickly came up to hand her some water.
A voice interrupted from the side, “You’re probably not feeling well, right?”
Everyone turned around and saw the second female lead, Lu Shi. She was also a newly-promoted young female star.
After her web drama exploded in popularity, she made a name for herelf in the industry as an upright character.
Lu Shi stepped forward and chuckled. “It must have been from the waist injury, right?”
She was giving her a way out, and everyone understood and immediately agreed.
Su Feifei was drinking water and didn’t say anything.
She pretended not to see Lu Shi’s provocative gaze.
“Waist injury?” Wang Ya glanced at her. “What the heck are you talking about? My waist has been fine for the longest time. There is no point in learning these useless things and being so slick. It’s better to train your acting skills.”
Su Feifei’s hand froze and she turned around in surprise.
Lu Shi’s expression instantly changed to an extremely ugly one.
“You’re right,” she said after a long while.
Wang Ya didn’t even look at her and walked directly to Su Feifei.
“You’re good.” She patted Su Feifei’s shoulder. “I went off script the entire time today. I misunderstood you just now. I sincerely apologize. I’m very relieved to have a serious newcomer like you in the film and television industry.”
Everyone was silent.
Lu Shi gritted her teeth.
After a long time, Su Feifei picked up her glass and clinked it with Wang Ya’s.
She raised her head and drank it.
Wang Ya was speechless.
She was stunned for a while before drinking it too.
The glass of water felt like wine.
“When is the next scene?” Su Feifei turned around and asked Director Sun.
Director Sun was still immersed in the perfection of this scene. When he heard this, he turned his head. “We can start now! The actors for the scene are all ready!”
“I’ve memorized the script you gave me yesterday. I’m fine with any scene.” Su Feifei said.
If it was just now, everyone would have thought that she was just bragging.
However, Wang Ya’s matter with her had been resolved.
At this moment, everyone only showed shock and admiration on their faces.
“Then let’s film…” Director Sun’s eyes turned. “The scene when we entered the palace! The only male actor who was acting is done with his makeup! Invite him over!”
Su Feifei nodded.
The palace?
She recalled her past.
It was the scene of the female general being picked on when she entered the palace for a pilgrimage. The eunuch came forward to trip her but was defeated instead.
The only male actor who was acting in the same scene was probably this eunuch.
Su Feifei put down her glass and turned around.
With this turn, she immediately froze in her place.
