After washing up, before eating her breakfast, Yun Liuli hurriedly took her bag and ran downstairs.

  Yun Liuli had just gotten into the car when she heard Fang Yan’s assistant ask, “Miss Yun, Sister Fang Yan is going to visit someone at a huge movie production. She asked me to inform you… that I can take you over. But you have class in the afternoon, and she’s not sure if you can apply for a leave of absence!”


  Seeing Yun Liuli keep quiet, the assistant added, “We’ll be visiting the set of a major movie production. What’s more, Shi Hanchu, the winner of the Best Actor Award, is acting in this movie. Sister Yan feels that you’ll be able to learn something there.”


  After a momentary hesitation, Yun Liuli nodded. “I can apply for a leave of absence!”


  “Okay!” The assistant happily drove Yun Liuli to the body toning class first.

  After the body toning class ended, Yun Liuli came out of the shower, and before she could take a breather, Fang Yan got there.

  Seeing Yun Liuli’s hair still wet, Fang Yan glanced at her wristwatch. “Blow-dry your hair, and we’ll leave in 10 minutes. This is a rare opportunity. You’ll be able to learn more things the earlier you get there!”


  Yun Liuli picked up her bag and said, “Let’s go, Sister Yan. I won’t blow-dry my hair!”


  “Be good and blow-dry your hair. It’s not worth it if you catch a cold! Go, I’ll wait for you!”


  Yun Liuli could only set down her bag and quickly blow-dry her hair to a half-dry state before picking her bag up and leaving with Fang Yan.

  During the car trip that morning, Yun Liuli ate the banana Fang Yan’s assistant handed her, and she bought a sandwich on the way there. So now, she was super famished. Despite this, she didn’t mention eating, only wanting to rush to the set as soon as possible.

  Although Yun Liuli and Fang Yan rushed there quickly, by the time they arrived, they were starting to film already.

  Since Fang Yan was there to visit the director at work, she naturally brought coffee and snacks for the production crew. When the director heard Fang Yan was there, he asked his subordinates to give out the coffee and snacks and said to start in 10 minutes.

  Fang Yan was on rather familiar terms with Director Hu, so she didn’t beat around the bush. She directly told him she brought a newcomer with her to see how the shooting of a movie was done.

  Everyone knew that artists under the management of Fang Yan shot to popularity quickly.

  This was the case for Lin Nuan and Lu Tianyu. Upon hearing Fang Yan say that she took a young lady under her wing, Director Hu had great anticipation of this so-called “young lady”.

  When he saw Yun Liuli, who had her hair tied in a ponytail and was hugging a notebook to her chest, he was indeed greatly shocked.

  Yun Liuli was way too pretty. Moreover, she was at an age where girls blossomed to be their most beautiful!

  The young lady was exquisitely pretty and fragile, and she had a fairy-like pure quality to her. There was a hint of aloofness in her eyes, making her appear like an unattainable flower only found high up in the mountains.

  At his advanced age and having such a high profile in the industry, Director Hu had seen all kinds of beauties!

  But this was the first time he saw such a pure and beautiful young lady with such a clean and unique aura.

  The movie that Director Hu was filming this time was a movie filmed in period settings called “The General”. It was filmed in the suburbs, and there were very few actresses. Despite this, when the female actresses saw Yun Liuli, they felt their positions threatened. Especially since this pretty young lady was brought there by the most famous manager in the industry, Fang Yan.

  When Shi Hanchu, who was dressed in armor and reading his script on a chair, heard that Fang Yan had come, he set down the script and walked towards Fang Yan.

  Shi Hanchu was 1.86 meters tall. Coming over in the bloodied and heavy armor, despite the smile on his lips, his aura made others’ scalps turn numb. He looked as if he was the ruler of demons who returned from hell. His features were masculine and dashing, majestic-looking, and every step he took was forceful.

  “Sister Yan!” Fang Yan was Shi Hanchu’s manager when Shi Hanchu first entered showbiz. Later, Shi Hanchu terminated his contract and went to Universal Entertainment. Fang Yan felt pity for Shi Hanchu, but in the end, Shi Hanchu shot to popularity anyway.

  “Hanchu…” Fang Yan looked at Shi Hanchu, a smile appearing on her face. “It’s been a long time!”


  “Aye, it turns out you’re here to visit Hanchu and not me!” Director Hu joked.

  Fang Yan took the chance to introduce Shi Hanchu and Director Hu to Yun Liuli, who was standing behind her. “I’m not here to visit either of you today. I’m here to let Xiao Liuli see how a major movie production is made and also to learn something from our winner of the Best Actor Award!”


  Yun Liuli wasn’t good at interacting with others, so she merely nodded slightly.

  Shi Hanchu nodded too.

  Ten minutes later, Yun Liuli stood behind the director with Fang Yan seriously, looking at the screen…


  In this scene, Shi Hanchu and his troops had been surrounded and attacked by the Wei troops for four days and were running out of ammunition and food. It was either conquer or die for the general that Shi Hanchu was playing.

  On the screen, Shi Hanchu was riding a battle steed.

  “My warriors of Liang state, standing behind us are the unarmed civilians of Liang who are unable to defend themselves. They’re our kin. As sons, fathers, and husbands, today… even at the expense of our lives, we’ll make sure they stay safe! Today, we’ll make a last stand and do everything it takes to protect Phoenix City! We’ll live and die with the city!”


  With her eyes on the monitor, Yun Liuli felt goosebumps rise all over her body. When Shi Hanchu’s gaze swept over, one couldn’t help but feel hot blood coursing through their veins and the desire to shout out their willingness to follow the general and fight the enemies bravely.

  The extras seemed to be infected by Shi Hanchu’s fervor and were raising the long spears in their hands and howling hysterically.

  “We’ll live and die with the city!”


  “We’ll live and die with the city!”


  “We’ll live and die with the city!”


  …


  Upon hearing the deafening and uniform roaring of the soldiers, combined with the loud neighing of the battle steeds, Yun Liuli’s throat vibrated as she swallowed her saliva, very nearly shouting aloud.

  “Cut!”


  The director was very satisfied with Shi Hanchu’s performance. “Cut! Good take!”


  Shi Hanchu was famous in the industry for clearing his scenes in one take. He almost always cleared his scenes in one take!

  It was said that a top-notch actor would instantly lead their fellow actors into being immersed in the acting after the clapperboard was hit, and Shi Hanchu was one such actor!

  Many young actors who had won the Best Actor Award more or less had some controversies about them.

  But everyone who worked with Shi Hanchu knew that he truly deserved the award.

  Seeing Yun Liuli’s reaction, Fang Yan held Yun Liuli’s shoulder and made her bend over to look at the screen with her. She whispered, “Do you see this… This is how Shi Hanchu acts!”


  The instant Shi Hanchu opened his mouth, one gaze from him was enough to pull someone into the scene. It was as if one had returned to that fierce battle in that ancient period in time……

  After that scene was over, next up was the scene of the troops breaking through the heavy encirclement.

  After filming the scene of Shi Hanchu speeding with a longsword in hand, as well as the extras’ reactions—holding up their battle flag and raising their long spears as they charged forward with Shi Hanchu leading the way—the grip coordinated the extras and set up the set again.

  It took a long time to set up the set. In the meantime, Director Hu started replaying the previously shot scene. After getting off his horse, Shi Hanchu’s assistant hurriedly helped him remove the armor. Shi Hanchu then walked over to stand behind the director and looked at the scenes filmed today together with him.
