Chapter 1248 Queen, I'm willing to go up the mountain!
"On your marks! Get set—action!"
The clapperboard snapped shut, and the accompaniment of suona horns and gongs and drums began.
The actor playing a scholar, carrying a book chest on his back, ran frantically from the other end of the street, shouting, "Help! Help!!"
Su Xing and Yu Shengmo mingled among the bandits.
Everyone charged forward yelling, wildly waving their prop knives.
The surrounding "commoner" extras were also very into their roles, screaming and hiding on the side of the street. For a moment, shouts of killing and screams mixed together, creating quite a lively scene.
According to the script, the scholar will be tripped by a "bandit leader" and then curl up on the ground, waiting for the heroine to come to his rescue.
But the tourist playing the minor leader was probably too nervous. He slipped and instead of tripping the scholar, he fell forward, and the prop knife in his hand flew straight toward the scholar's face!
Everyone was stunned, including the scholar actor, who froze on the spot, his face turning deathly pale.
The assistant director suddenly stood up behind the monitor and yelled "Stop!", but it was too late.
Just as the prop knife was only half a foot away from the scholar, Su Xing moved almost instinctively!
She lightly touched the bluestone slab with her toes, and her figure darted away like a swallow.
Several gasps of surprise rang out from the crowd.
Su Xing didn't care about anything else. He reached out with his right hand and accurately grabbed the hilt of the prop knife. With a slight twist of his wrist, he dissipated the force of the prop knife's forward momentum. Then, he threw the knife behind him. The prop knife landed steadily on the stone steps next to him with a "clang" without bouncing up at all.
This series of movements was as fast as the wind, happening in the blink of an eye.
When Su Xing landed, her steps were steady and firm, without even stirring up a speck of dust.
There was a two-second silence, followed by a burst of gasps.
"Holy crap! That's awesome!!"
"That was thrilling! What amazing skills!"
"With those skills and that look, could he be a professional action star mixed up as an extra?"
"My god! This is so much better than those special effects and slow-motion fight scenes in movies and TV shows!"
Yu Shengmo tucked his prop knife under his armpit and joined the surrounding tourists in clapping and cheering, "Bravo!!"
She looked at Su Xing, her eyes sparkling.
She had seen a video online of Su Xing subduing Chao Xiong, and she was amazed by Su Xing's skills back then. Now, seeing Su Xing show off his skills on the spot, she was even more excited, and her heart was pounding in her chest.
The scholar actor who was nearly hit by the falling object regained his senses and quickly stood up to thank Su Xing, "Miss, thank you so much!"
Su Xing said, "You're welcome."
The assistant director also rushed over, his anxious expression turning into one of delight. He looked Su Xing up and down, forgetting to put down the megaphone in his hand: "Young lady, you're quite skilled! Have you been trained?"
Su Xing smiled and nodded, saying, "I studied martial arts at a martial arts school."
A clear female voice came from not far away: "Director! Can this play be changed?"
It turned out to be the actress who played the female knight-errant. She quickly walked over and said with a smile, "Let her play the role of the one who saves the day! I think her figure and moves are quite like a female knight-errant!"
The assistant director's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands: "Great idea!"
He immediately had someone touch up Su Xing's makeup and change her clothes.
Su Xing: "...Huh?"
Yu Shengmo nudged Su Xing, "Go quickly, go quickly!"
Su Xing was pulled and pushed by others to change into a set of tight-fitting clothes.
After she came out, the assistant director gave her a brief talk about the scene: "You don't need to run like them later. Just stand on the street corner, and when the knife flies out, rush up and catch it like you did before, then kick that little boss away—don't worry, it's all fake, just a quick touch!"
Su Xing took the prop sword from the assistant director, weighed it in his hand, and found it felt better than the knife.
When filming resumed, everyone's attention was focused on Su Xing.
When the prop knife "accidentally" flew out again, Su Xing touched the ground with her toes, gathered her energy, and leaped into the air, her blue-green female warrior skirt drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
Sunlight fell on the sword sheath, refracting into tiny dappled patterns of light.
She caught the knife steadily, spun around and landed, then raised her leg and kicked the "small leader" in the side—the force was just right, he staggered back two steps, but didn't fall at all.
Su Xing, wielding two weapons, looked up at the bandits surrounding him, his eyes narrowing slightly.
This surprised even the professional actors.
The assistant director slapped his thigh and exclaimed from behind the monitor, "Great! That's the look! It's chivalrous!"
The bandits scattered and fled.
The scholar, now somewhat recovered from his shock, ran over and bowed to Su Xing, saying, "Thank you so much, heroine, for saving my life!"
At this moment, Yu Shengmo, dressed in bandit attire, suddenly ran over, threw down the knife in her hand, knelt down with a "thud," and hugged Su Xing's leg, "Boss! From now on, you are the boss of our stronghold!"
She improvised this; she added the scene herself.
Hmph! Everyone wants to rewrite her script, so today she'll get to experience the thrill of rewriting her own script!
Everyone around was stunned.
Su Xing was also slightly taken aback, but she quickly recovered and took over Yu Shengmo's role. She reached out and helped Yu Shengmo up, "Second Master, get up. From now on, you all listen to me, and I guarantee you'll have wine to drink and meat to eat!"
"I'm an Extra in Hengdian" was originally an interactive situational program in the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" film and television city. The improvisation by everyone makes it more dramatic and interesting.
The surrounding tourists realized what was happening and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The scholar-actor, seeing the "heroine" suddenly transform into a "bandit leader," also put on a dramatic performance, exclaiming, "What am I going to do? Heaven is going to kill me..."
Su Xing used the tip of his sword to lift the scholar's chin, examined him carefully, and said, "He's good-looking. Take him back to be your bandit chieftain."
Yu Shengmo got up, picked up the prop rope from the side, and walked towards the scholar. "Boss, I'll tie this pretty boy up and take him up the mountain for you right now!"
The scholar, chin held high and face arrogant, said, "How dare you insult me like this?!"
A second later, he flicked his sleeve and said, "I can walk by myself! I'll go up the mountain with you!"
If all female bandits looked like this, becoming their husband wouldn't be a difficult thing.
The plot has completely fallen apart.
The tourists around were laughing so hard they were doubled over, some even laughing until tears streamed down their faces.
Some people even egged them on.
"Your Majesty, I'm willing to go up the mountain with you!"
“I’ll go up the mountain too, even if it’s as a concubine, I’m willing!”
"A bandit is a bandit. Who suggested that she become a female knight-errant? Even if she wears the female knight-errant's clothes, she's still a bandit sent to infiltrate a righteous sect as an undercover agent."
The assistant director was also exasperated. What on earth was going on?
However, if the participating tourists are happy and the onlookers are also enjoying the show, then the program is a success. Let's leave it at that.
After the scene was filmed, the assistant director wanted to get Su Xing's contact information, saying, "If there are any suitable action scenes in the future, you can come and audition."
Su Xing smiled and declined, saying, "I can't stay in Hengdian for more than a few days. I have to go back to school. I really don't have time to act."
The assistant director was a little disappointed, but didn't insist.
