C81 It Was Hard to Guard Against an Arrow in the Dark

You know, I don't easily lie to people, at most just choose to hide.

"What's wrong? Why are you frowning so early in the morning?"

Sitting in Jack's car, Lyi Yan had a small face. Unhappy, Jack glanced at her from time to time, trying to guess what the little girl was thinking. Although he did not know what had happened, such a low mood would definitely affect the filming of the music video.

We'll talk about it when the time comes.

This was Yan Xuan's reply to her.

Lyi Yan sighed lightly. At first, she felt that Yan Xuan did not give her a definite answer. It was basically the same as rejecting, but later she thought about it carefully. If Yan Xuan directly agreed, then what was their relationship? How would they get along with each other before the matter with their mother was settled? And what if she or he met the son of heaven during this process? What would they do? Would the party that destroyed the agreement be considered to have hurt the other party?

Thinking about it again, she had told Dong that it was impossible for him to like being in a different world from them. She had told Grandma that there was a thirteen year gap between them. She had told Little Bun that she was close to him because of her mother. With so many messy things there, wouldn't the feelings that came out of her mouth be a little impulsive? She did not even truly understand him and just planned to start. After understanding him, she would like him even more... Or would she...

She was troubled alone and had nowhere to solve her worries. This slightly wrong confession made her feel uneasy. As expected, this kind of sentimental feeling was not suitable for her.

"How's the reading of the script?" Jack heard her sigh and did not say anything, so he could only find a topic to talk about.

"I'm already very familiar with it, but acting is my weakness." Lyi Yan sighed again, "I hope I can show the freshness and nature written in the script."

"The style is OK. You just need to act in your original colors." This music video was basically tailor-made for her. It did not have high standards for her acting skills. But she was also afraid that if she got nervous, she wouldn't even be able to walk properly. "The filming of the music video is different from the last film we saw. The director will take pictures in different places. Then, editing and synthesizing. When the time comes, you will sink into the song and, according to the script, do some movements. "

"Mm, I'll do my best." Lyi Yan was a little nervous. After all, this was her first time, and the director was very famous for his hot temper.

"This is a rare opportunity. Take it well. I am quite looking forward to this music video." Jack did not want to give her too much pressure, so he did not tell her about Yan Xuan's current situation. He also didn't tell her how hard it was to win this music video.

Before dawn, the car drove all the way to the forest park in the southeast corner of the city. The music video was mainly there to take a view. Sheng was willing to pay and the manager at the door opened the door for them. The lights in the park were not as bright as the street lamps, and there were shadows of trees everywhere. They could not see clearly, and the darkness was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It was a little scary.

The car drove deeper into the park for more than ten minutes. When it reached the filming location, the director and the filming team had already arrived. They were all arranging things. Basically, it could be considered that a group of people had woken up early in the morning and were busy working for her.

"Director Cheng." Jack led her to the director. A man in his 40s was very thick-skinned. He looked a little fat, but his eyes were sharp and spirited. After sizing her up for a while, he did not say much and asked her to put on makeup to get her hair done.

"Have you read the script? The prelude lasted 12 seconds, and the chant lasted for 17 seconds. We will use empty cameras to lead the audience into the depths of the forest. Then we will use the faint white light effect to enter the chanting part. We got some fireflies, and later on, we'll use special effects to replenish the light. While you chant, you interact with the fireflies. You don't need to look at the camera. Do you understand? "

"Yes, I understand."

"I think you've heard as well. I don't have a good temper. Even if you're a newbie, I don't want to have too many NGs. Don't think of yourself as a human during the whole process. From now on, you're a firefly. Living in this forest, you'll light up at night. Be more natural, relax, and smile more brightly."

"Yes, I will work hard!"

"OK, all departments are in position. We are preparing for the first round."

Without any nonsense, everything was going according to plan. They were racing against time. Lyi Yan followed the staff to the designated position anxiously. The humidity in the early morning forest was very high. She was wearing a knee-length skirt. With her bare arms and legs, she only felt that the ground was full of mud. The dew that had been on the leaves and grass touched her skin and gave her goosebumps. In the darkness, she could not see what was in the grass under her feet. She could imagine the arrival of this group of people. How could she disturb the insects' 'daily rest? She should be "taken revenge" by the insects very soon. It was normal for her to be bitten or crawled. Although she had already sprayed something to protect herself from the mosquitoes earlier.

"Okay, first match, Action!"

Director Cheng gave an order to the loudspeaker. Music rang in his ears as the staff member released the firefly from the box. Floating beside her, high and low, specks of light. The interaction between humans and insects was better than everyone expected. She sang along with the music. She stretched out her hands and tried to communicate with the fireflies. The smile on her face was playful and fresh. Under the special lighting effect, it was bright and moving.

"OK, take it! After this, we'll change locations and prepare for the next match!"

To be honest, the reason why it worked so well and went so smoothly... It had nothing to do with her acting skills. She really liked fireflies. When she was young in G City, she and Dong often went to the mountains to play with fireflies. It was basically the same feeling as now, and she had just been standing in a wet patch of grass. All kinds of "fear" made her feel much better when she suddenly saw fireflies. Coupled with the pleasant music soothing her uneasiness, she really minded her own business and hummed as she played for a while. In any case, she didn't have to face the camera.

"The second round will be a little difficult. We will follow the camera. Do it. Co-coating. What you need to do is to run around and try to be as light and cheerful as possible. Try to experience that kind of feeling when the wind is a little stronger and you'll be able to fly with it. Smile a little more, that's the kind of smile you have to chase after me. Come after me, be a little naughty..."

Director Cheng's explanation was very vivid. He would use some metaphor. Some body movements were guided and guided. In the industry of director, his temper was very famous, and the things he filmed were also very famous. Yan Xuan said that he "had never filmed a movie that was smashed" before. Actually, it should be said that Director Cheng's products were definitely top quality.

In the second round, they had done it seven times.

It was not an easy task to run around in the damp grass. Lyi Yan already felt that her ankles and calves were itchy and painful. She did not know what bit had bitten her. She had been scratched by sharp grass teeth, but she could not care about that. She must continue to maintain a relaxed and mischievous smile and elegant and cute movements. It couldn't be too exaggerated, and it couldn't be too restrained. He had to step on the rhythm of the music, and he also had to accurately identify the lyrics. The camera was right behind her, chasing after her and pushing her further away. She tried her best to relax and feel the presence of the morning wind according to Director Cheng's instructions. Imagine that kind of "I want to ride the wind and return" floating... immortal rise!

"Focus on your exit! It's almost time for the sunrise. Show me your best state!"

Director Cheng's temper gradually came out. Several times, he cursed people with a dark face, and when he was angry, he would smash things. Everyone did not dare to make a sound and silently corrected themselves. They directly patted him until he was satisfied before letting everyone rest for a while.

"How is it? Are you all right?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Walking from the grass to the rest area, Lyi Yan's two legs were indeed terrible to look at. There was a small red bump, and there was also a small cut. At this moment, her whole body was wet. The morning wind blew. It was so cold that she trembled. Jack took a blanket and draped it over her. She didn't have an assistant yet. She had no experience in many things, so she took a picture of this music video. She would probably have to suffer a lot.

"The first time you filmed it, it's already considered very good. Keep it up ~" Jack encouraged her and handed her a thermos.

"Yeah, actually, I'm just afraid that there will be snakes." Lyi Yan drank a few mouthfuls of hot water and felt much better. She looked at the white horizon and then looked at the gray grass.

"You don't have to worry about this. The staff will sprinkle male and yellow powder in the grass. Snakes hate that smell and won't crawl over." Jack patted her shoulder and found an assistant at the scene. He helped her deal with the bruises and scratches on her leg. "To be safe, let them sprinkle some male yellow powder on your body and legs later."

"Okay, okay ~" Lyi Yan smiled and exhaled deeply.

"Attention to all departments. We are preparing to start the third round."

The third and fourth round were the key two rounds. Lyi Yan put down her cup and thanked Jack and the staff who helped her with makeup and cleaning her legs. She was excited and energized as she walked into the wet and cold area again.

At the same time, Yan Xuan was taking a taxi to the forest park.

He did not intend to appear at the filming site. First, he was afraid of giving Lyi Yan unnecessary psychological burdens or distractions. Secondly, he didn't want to spread rumors that she relied on him. But when he suppressed the pain in his stomach and finally fell asleep, he received a very strange message.

Hehe. One word at a time.

The number was unfamiliar. When he dialed the number back, it was a noisy nightclub. A female voice told him that someone had just asked her to borrow her phone, but she didn't know that person... It was a man. Was it a mistake, or was it a message? Was it a sneer? If he was sneering, what was he laughing at?

Pressing down on his aching abdomen, Yan Xuan did not feel sleepy at all. Anxiety filled his heart. All kinds of assumptions, the first thing to bear the brunt was whether Lyi Yan would be in trouble! Calm down, calm down. He kept reminding himself to calm down. Resisting the dizziness brought about by the fever and the tiredness brought about by the gastric pain, he kept thinking. Lyi Yan was currently filming an MV in the forest park. What was in the forest? The director, staff, and Jack, there were a lot of people there. However, the area where the camera was shot was only Lyi Yan! Could there be a trap set up in a dark and unclear place?!

He got up and put on his clothes to go out to take a taxi. He did not delay for even a second and left the apartment building as if he was flying.

"The number you have dialed cannot be connected for the time being..."

The signal in the depths of the forest park was bad, so the call was not connected, which brought more panic and anxiety. Yan Xuan's expression was very bad, and his left hand pressed down hard on his upper abdomen. He kept urging the driver to drive faster. Beads of sweat the size of beans drenched his hair. It was unknown whether it was from pain or anxiety.

"I'm a staff member of Sheng Wish."

After showing his ID, the car drove into the forest park. It was dawn. The driver was not familiar with the road, so he slowed down. Yan Xuan was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. When they turned around and arrived at the filming location... something really happened!

"Sorry, I really didn't see the broken glass bottle there. I'm really sorry!"

"It's okay, it's nothing big. I just cut a little skin. It's a small matter."

Lyi Yan looked awkwardly at the little brother who kept bowing and apologizing to her. He was in charge of protecting the venue. When they were cleaning the venue, they did not see a broken glass bottle in the grass. Lyi Yan stepped on it while running. With a twist of her foot, the broken glass directly pierced into the back of her foot and ankle.

It happened very suddenly. Fortunately, although it was a bit deep, it was still a little too late. There was some blood, but his leg was still able to move, which meant that it did not hurt his bones and bones. The staff quickly took the first aid kit and rushed to her side to carry out emergency treatment. He pulled out the broken glass, poured hydrogen peroxide and hemostatic drugs. She wrapped the wound with gauze again.

Jack and another person helped her to jump to the rest area. A group of people surrounded her. The lights were also on her body, although she said it was okay again and again. But everyone was very nervous. There was no signal on the phone. Jack had already rushed to the train. The director scolded the little brother for a while before stopping. He sat alone in front of the camera as if he was sulking.

"No matter what, let's go to the hospital and film another film. Don't leave any sequelae."

"Yes, there might be broken glass left in the wound. We must treat it again."

"The wound might need stitches, right? Does the girl hurt? To think you could still laugh here. The last time I met a young man who was injured, I was almost called to death by him... Hey, who pushed me?"

" Yan... "

Yan Xuan pushed the crowd aside, walked into the circle of light, and walked in front of her.

At that moment, everything was silent. Lyi Yan was completely dumbfounded. A small heart instantly shot up to 120 times per minute. This kind of feeling of a prince charming descending from the sky was too cool!
