It was already the tip of February and the start of March. The spring environment was getting stronger, however the temperature within the mountains was nonetheless very low, and the frost on the wild grass and vines had not melted, giving off a touch of chilly air.

When filming within the wild, so long as it wasn’t their flip to go up, everybody wrapped themselves in a thick down jacket.

However the particular person being filmed is kind of depressing. Even when they put on much less in low temperatures, they nonetheless want to take care of their finest appearing situation.

The scene being filmed now was a scene by which the white dragon performed by Qi Xiaoyu rose from the underside of the water after Nirvana and was reborn, representing the dragon clan, to barter with the heavenly court docket.

Qi Xiaoyu stood subsequent to the waterfall that fell three thousand toes straight down, and the chilly water splashed on his garments. He opened his mouth, however earlier than he may converse, a cloud of mist got here out and lined half of his face.

The director shouted “lower” instantly, “Xiaoyu, you’ll be able to’t do that. The breath you exhale is simply too heavy, and the image is ruined.”

Qi Xiaoyu’s garments are the most costly and the best-looking, however they’re additionally the least heat. Other than wanting stunning, they’re virtually ineffective. These glittering scales designed for magnificence are as heavy and chilly as ice, making individuals uncomfortable.

Extra importantly, this outfit is tied too tightly on the waist and can’t be secretly fitted with thermal underwear.

It simply so occurs that on this scene, he has essentially the most traces, and the high-definition digicam may even shoot his pores clearly, not to mention his misty breath.

The assistant director heard it and mentioned, “It’s too chilly, and misty breath will certainly come out.”

After saying that, seeing that Wang Mingge’s expression didn’t change, he tentatively instructed to Qi Xiaoyu,

“Why don’t you strive holding some ice cubes in your mouth, Xiaoyu? If the temperature in your mouth is low, you shouldn’t exhale misty breath.”

The assistant director was additionally embarrassed.

Wang Mingge appears to be like straightforward to speak to, however he’s very strict when filming. He can’t tolerate any errors. In any other case, he wouldn’t have spent a lot time selecting an actor.

However for Qi Xiaoyu, he didn’t dare be too choosy.

Since Qi Xiaoyu joined the crew, Kang Qitao has introduced a substantial quantity of further funding, saying that it’s coming for Qi Xiaoyu.

The individuals on the director’s group aren’t silly. They instantly understood what he meant.

Lately, everybody has taken care of Qi Xiaoyu and hasn’t let him endure any hardship within the crew. The make-up artist gave him one of the best make-up, and every day rehearsals have been organized for him throughout the day. He mainly didn’t keep up all night time with the crew.

However right this moment’s scenario was actually a bit troublesome.

The temperature on the water’s edge was at its lowest, and he needed to take the large shot all by himself, so there was no method to eliminate the misty breath the quickest besides by containing ice.

When Li Kun heard this, he was so distressed that he hurried over to debate with the assistant director, “The climate is chilly. Are you making an attempt to kill him?”

Jiang Sicheng got here to observe the commotion with a scorching water bottle in his pocket, and he additionally couldn’t assist complaining, “Instructed you that this crew is unscientific. Can’t you simply put a number of heaters subsequent to him? The type with excessive energy and tremendous robust heat wind will certainly cease the misty breath.”

The assistant director instantly filtered out Jiang Sicheng’s phrases as in the event that they have been nonsense. To not point out connecting wires such a protracted distance, the robust wind by the waterfall alone would make any heater ineffective.

Qi Xiaoyu thought it was okay when he heard this proposal. Though it was slightly chilly, he may bear it. He had labored a lot tougher within the troupe earlier than.

Moreover, irrespective of how a lot he suffered within the troupe, he didn’t know what his future can be. It was nothing in comparison with the script he had in his hand. To be able to look good on the large display, it was value it.

He agreed instantly: “It’s effective so long as the misty breath might be stopped.”

The employees hurriedly introduced ice cubes, as if he have been afraid that Qi Xiaoyu would remorse it.

The crew instantly packed ice cubes in plastic baggage. The climate was chilly, and the ice cubes wouldn’t soften when left outdoors. The plastic baggage have been frozen and caught collectively.

The feminine lead, Cui Jing, who was standing reverse Qi Xiaoyu, ran over to present recommendation: “Don’t maintain an entire piece at a time. Break it up and put it in little by little. Get used to it slowly.”

After filming as of late, the individuals within the crew acquired alongside properly with Qi Xiaoyu.

Though the crew was very combined, with individuals from varied leisure firms, such because the male lead Liu Feng from Orange Juice Leisure and the feminine lead Cui Jing from Feichi Media, everybody was not silly. They might see that the director’s group was taking good care of Qi Xiaoyu. Nobody wished to get into battle with the particular person the director group was taking good care of.

Moreover, Qi Xiaoyu is likable, good at speaking, and is aware of find out how to behave, so when he was about to place an ice dice in his mouth, somebody among the many different actors who have been going to seem on this scene mentioned,

“Cheer up and don’t NG.”

“We are able to’t let Xiaoyu get frozen.”

They have been standing far-off, however seeing Qi Xiaoyu standing by the waterfall, with wind, water, and ice cubes beside him, it felt fairly chilly.

Over right here, Qi Xiaoyu put the ice dice in his mouth with out hesitation.

It was actually cool and refreshing, virtually like swimming in winter.

As quickly as he put it in, the ice dice touched the internal membrane of the mouth, and he felt his entire mouth frozen and numb immediately.

The employees checked out him and mentioned, “Are you able to speak? Extra?”

Qi Xiaoyu took a deep breath and eliminated the ice dice caught on his palate. His voice was slightly trembling. “Sure, extra.”

After he had virtually half a mouthful of ice cubes, his whole mouth was mainly frozen and numb. When he opened his mouth once more, the misty breath lastly stopped popping out.

Wang Mingge checked out Qi Xiaoyu’s face close-up via the digicam after which slowly pushed a distant view. Behind Qi Xiaoyu was the Jiutian Waterfall, and above his head was the blue and dry sky. Solely he stood there alone, with violent eyes and a sword drawn, as if he have been going to be an enemy of the entire world.

Wang Mingge nodded and was lastly happy with the impact: “Not unhealthy, okay, let him chill out his expression slightly extra; don’t be so tense; it’s an excessive amount of.”

Li Kun watched from the aspect, feeling unhappy and distressed. He used his cell phone to take photos and file video silently. For atypical celebrities, in the event that they shoot a summer time drama in winter, they are going to ship lots of press releases to reward their professionalism for not having misty breath popping out of their mouths. He would really feel sorry for his wage if he didn’t brag about Qi Xiaoyu.

Ma Weiye additionally regarded over from a distance. He leaned on a prop carriage, twiddling with the digicam whereas watching Qi Xiaoyu swallow the ice cubes, then raised the digicam and “clicked” a number of shutters. The fantastic thing about consuming ice within the chilly winter was fairly touching.

This was fairly completely different from the Qi Xiaoyu he knew earlier than.

Ma Weiye held a cigarette in his mouth, tilted his head, and took out the vibrating cell phone from his pocket. A bunch of messages from the identical particular person popped up on the interface. He pressed the clear choice for all of them, then clicked randomly at a make-up photograph taken of Qi Xiaoyu a number of days in the past—the unique photograph that had not been refined.

After the scene was shot, Qi Xiaoyu felt that he was fully frozen and unconscious.

As quickly as Wang Mingge referred to as for a cease, Li Kun instantly took a down jacket and a thermos cup over.

“How is it? Would you like a cup of Isatis root? Don’t catch a chilly.”

Qi Xiaoyu rubbed his fingers and drank a small quantity of scorching water. “I’m effective.”

Li Kun checked out his purple lips and mentioned, “It’s already March; the temperature ought to rise after some time.”

Jiang Sicheng threw over the nice and cozy water bag he was holding in his hand and wrapped his brown fur coat tightly. “What’s using wanting good? Garments are higher to be sensible.”

Qi Xiaoyu didn’t even say thanks to Jiang Sicheng now, and he sat down subsequent to a heater with the new water bag in his pocket.

He had lots of pictures on this scene, and he would have extra later.

After sitting for some time, Ma Weiye came to visit with a cup of one thing.

As he approached Qi Xiaoyu, he shoved the issues in his hand in the direction of him and mentioned, “Are you okay?”

Qi Xiaoyu noticed that it was a field of immediate milk, however he didn’t take it.

Ma Weiye shook his head. “It’s scorching, and it will probably replenish your power. Don’t you could have a number of scenes to shoot later?”

Qi Xiaoyu mentioned politely, “Thanks; it’s fairly chilly. You continue to must take photos; don’t give them to me.”

Ma Weiye was not embarrassed and located an empty stool to sit down down subsequent to him. “Properly, I nonetheless must take photos… Your make-up photographs are prepared; do you need to see them first? If there are any that have to be refined, simply let me know, and I’ll retouch them for you in keeping with your concepts.”

Qi Xiaoyu was nonetheless well mannered: “You’re the photographer specifically discovered by Director Wang; simply retouch them in keeping with your opinions.”

Ma Weiye put his fingers on his knees as if he had encountered a setback, lowered his head, and mentioned jokingly, “Truly, I simply need to discover an excuse so as to add you on WeChat. Why is it so troublesome? In any case, we’ve got labored collectively a number of instances.”

Qi Xiaoyu didn’t reply.

After some time, Ma Weiye lowered his head and checked out Qi Xiaoyu from backside to prime. “If the non-public quantity doesn’t work, how about I add your assistant’s work quantity?”

Li Kun checked out Qi Xiaoyu.

Qi Xiaoyu considered it and determined that they’d certainly have some overlap in work since they have been on the identical crew. He nodded and requested Li Kun so as to add Ma Weiye’s WeChat along with his work quantity.

Ma Weiye added WeChat, sighed once more, after which walked away.

Though the temperature was low and the wind was robust, the climate was good, the visibility was excessive, and there was a moon at night time. With the lighting, the photographs have been extra stunning.

To be able to seize the suitable time and place, Wang Mingge pressured everybody to exert their potential and produced lots of usable clips.

After ending the filming, though it was not very late, everybody felt that their our bodies have been hollowed out.

After returning to the lodge, Qi Xiaoyu took a scorching bathtub earlier than Jiang Sicheng, then became pajamas and collapsed on the mattress.

He unfold out on the mattress, not wanting to maneuver even a finger.

The scenes later right this moment have been very tiring. Maybe as a result of Qi Xiaoyu was fairly used to holding ice cubes, Wang Mingge felt that he had nice potential to be developed. Inside someday, he was requested to shoot underwater scenes and a bit of martial arts scenes with wires.

It actually took him lots of effort to go up and down the ocean.

Qi Xiaoyu lay down for some time, virtually falling asleep in a daze, and instantly he shuddered once more, remembering that he appeared to have forgotten to answer to Xun Qian’s message.

Xun Qian appeared to have despatched him a message, however he was in a rush to shoot and had no time to answer.

He stretched out his hand and hooked the cellphone on the bedside.

As quickly as he unlocked it, the cellphone vibrated. He shortly opened it and noticed that it was certainly from Xun Qian, asking him if he had completed work.

There was one other message that he hadn’t replied to within the afternoon, which was an image of White browed Hero’s lunch.

Qi Xiaoyu was typing on his cellphone, and simply after typing the three phrases “simply completed work,” he deleted all of them.

Then he glanced within the course of the lavatory, the place he heard the sound of water splashing and singing.

Jiang Sicheng often takes half an hour or forty minutes to take a bathe. Seeing how he was washing and singing, it could most likely take longer.

Qi Xiaoyu himself is simply too drained to kind, so he pressed the video name button.

Xun Qian was slightly stunned when he acquired the video invitation. He and Qi Xiaoyu had by no means had a video name.

Not solely Qi Xiaoyu, he had by no means had a video name with anybody.

He didn’t must video name with others. His relationship with others was both as chilly as an enemy or so simple as that of superiors and subordinates. He solely wanted to present orders.

Aside from Qi Xiaoyu, nobody dared to ship him a video request.

He was surprised for a second.

The little black canine subsequent to him heard the noise and barked across the wheelchair.

He first put away the journal in his hand, then took out a handkerchief and pressed it to the nook of his mouth to cough a number of instances earlier than urgent the join button.

Qi Xiaoyu on the opposite finish of the video had simply completed having a shower, and his hair was nonetheless slightly moist.

Xun Qian thought that he will need to have positioned his cellphone on the mattress and regarded on the digicam along with his face tilted, so the face on the display was slightly distorted however nonetheless very handsome.

Xun Qian additionally thought that Qi Xiaoyu should be very drained right this moment; his eyes have been barely open, and his face was slightly swollen.

So the very first thing Xun Qian mentioned after connecting the video was, “Why aren’t you sleeping but?”

Qi Xiaoyu smiled and mentioned, “Who would advise others to sleep proper after a video name?”

Certain sufficient, he was drained, and his voice was eight levels softer than common.

Xun Qian additionally smiled. He selected a cushty place, holding the cellphone in his proper hand and the black canine in his left hand. “Let’s check out Xiao Hei?”

Qi Xiaoyu stared on the display fastidiously for some time. “Has it gained weight?”

Xun Qian stroked the canine’s fur and mentioned, “It’s about 7 or 8 kilograms now.”

“It weighed 7 or 8 kilograms in only a few months. At this price, it should most likely develop to twenty or 30 kilograms when it grows up.”

Qi Xiaoyu, “What did Mama Li prepare dinner for him right this moment? Pies?”

“Beef pie.”

“Tsk, it’s higher than what I eat.”

Xun Qian shifted his gaze from Xiao Hei again to the display, lowered his eyelashes gently, and requested, “When will you end filming?”

“It ought to take one other month.”

Xun Qian mentioned “oh” with an ambiguous which means, then regarded up on the display once more and mentioned, “It’s best to relaxation early.”

“Hmm…”

Qi Xiaoyu ended the video, regarded on the chat web page with Xun Qian for some time, then turned his head to look out the window of the lodge, feeling very relaxed—a soothing leisure.

Then he set the alarm clock and ready to cowl himself with the quilt to sleep. Immediately, he realized that he was appearing slightly spoiled simply now when he mentioned, “higher than what I eat”.

He tried to pay attention his considerably sleepy consciousness and recalled whether or not his tone simply now was spoiled… and whether or not Xun Qian observed the distinction in his tone.

Immediately’s capturing was certainly essentially the most tiring day in comparison with different days, however he didn’t suppose he’d endure a lot that he’d act spoiled…

Whether or not he was standing within the chilly wind with ice cubes in his mouth or filming within the water with a temperature of a number of levels beneath zero, he didn’t care about being drained when he was working. He solely felt that this was a job, and he needed to do his finest to finish it properly.

And he actually thinks it’s nothing. What job isn’t arduous work? Who doesn’t work arduous to make a dwelling? To not point out the truth that he will get paid a lot for his work.

However when he was on video name with Xun Qian simply now, he appeared to have a obscure feeling of looking for consolation, so what sort of tone did he use to talk?

This sort of emotion solely often occurred in entrance of his senior sister earlier than, when he was very younger.

Qi Xiaoyu scratched his hair regretfully and even slightly shyly, feeling that he was slightly pretentious. He was clearly effective throughout the daytime filming, so how may he have so many awkward feelings when dealing with Xun Qian?

After filming that day, the director appeared to have found extra prospects for his actors and pushed them to interrupt via themselves.

Then, after greater than a month of filming in a number of locations, the filming of “The Evil” is lastly coming to an finish.

On the similar time, a collection of starring posters, character stills, and theme songs are additionally able to be launched quickly.
