Chapter 90
The scenery under the moonlight was extremely beautiful, with swaying branches framing the lakeside view.
Yao Bianliang sat by the shore, waving her hand toward the other side: "Ready—action!"
In the frame, Xia Hong's figure moved.
He wore a white robe that stood out strikingly in the night.
When his long sword was unsheathed, it made a ringing sound, the tip reflecting white light in the moonlight.

"He's not going to perform swordplay, is he?" one paparazzo was astonished, then excitedly rubbed his hands together.
"Impressive, Xia Hong performing fight scenes without a body double!"

One had to say, Yao Bianliang was truly bold to let Xia Hong perform himself.
Xia Hong typically couldn't even remember his lines properly—how could such a person perform martial arts scenes well?
"Laughable, Xia Hong doing swordplay? Let's hope he doesn't injure himself with the sword," another companion snickered.
"Quick, this part is crucial. Don't miss anything when recording," the lead paparazzo waved his hand, eyes filled with excitement. "We need to capture Xia Hong's movements in detail."

Being far away, they couldn't hear the dialogue clearly, only able to see the actors' martial arts movements.
After presumably delivering some lines, Xia Hong tapped his toe and, aided by the wire rigging, flew across the lake's surface as lightly as a swallow.
He slightly turned his body, swung his long sword, and thrust it forward forcefully.
This was originally a high-difficulty move. On wire rigging, most actors would struggle just to maintain body balance, let alone execute such a technique.

Yet Xia Hong performed this movement with remarkable ease.
The sword tip sliced through the rippling lake surface, stirring up a spray of water. Droplets slowly fell from the tip, as if in slow motion, creating points of light in the moonlight, flying momentarily before suddenly dropping.

After thrusting the sword, he turned sideways and landed on a bamboo raft in the middle of the lake.
With a flick of his wrist, he executed a beautiful sword flourish.
The long sword seemed to be connected to his thoughts—thrusting, slashing horizontally, or cutting sideways—flowing smoothly, each movement containing both power and beauty.
These weren't merely simple techniques; the actor himself exerted full force, striving to perfectly execute each movement.
Under the deep purple night sky, the long sword, evening breeze, bamboo raft, and the upright figure of the young man combined to form an exquisitely beautiful scene in the moonlight reflected on the lake.
"No way... is that person really Xia Hong himself?" the paparazzo holding binoculars asked in a hushed, shocked voice.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
This was Xia Hong!
The universally acknowledged king of terrible films, who used a body double for dialogue scenes, another for action scenes, and voice dubbing—essentially incapable of everything except lending his face.
How could such a person perform such a beautiful sword dance?!
"It should be Xia Hong... yes, it's definitely him." The paparazzo with the binoculars swallowed hard, speaking with difficulty.
Who could have imagined!
Xia Hong's martial arts scenes were actually so strong—just looking at his form, he could already outperform 90% of actors in the country.

It's worth noting that most traffic stars aren't strong in fight scenes. In TV dramas, those martial arts scenes either use body doubles or rely entirely on the efforts of cinematographers and post-production.
Anyone with a bit of industry knowledge knows that when filming martial arts scenes, if the actor doesn't perform well, they need to rely on camera language to compensate.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Sometimes, for an actor to perform one movement, it requires close-up shots + fast shots + slow-motion techniques, constantly switching angles to create a visual impact for the audience.
Of course, continuously zooming in, using close-ups, plus heart-stirring background music are also common presentation methods.
In a studio, the cinematographer might need to continuously move, using various camera movements to compensate for the actor's deficiencies.
Thus, some tragicomically ridiculous scenes often occur in recording studios—

The actor stands in place, performing martial arts movements like a wooden post.
Meanwhile, several cinematographers move quickly around the actor, either zooming in or pulling away, working busily and sweating profusely, their positioning several levels more difficult than the actor's.
But now, since Yao Bianliang and her team chose to film on location, naturally they didn't have such conditions.
Without the cinematographers' help, the requirements for the actors' martial arts skills were greatly increased.

Several paparazzi had initially thought that choosing on-location filming was too ambitious.
But now it seemed like an extremely wise decision!

Xia Hong's performance was a delight to watch and captivating even without camera techniques as assistance.
"Yao Bianliang is so powerful," the paparazzo marveled. "No wonder she rejected Ouyang Xiaoqing. Just based on Xia Hong's fight scenes, I would choose him too!"
"Exactly, and all those netizens are still feeling sorry for Ouyang Xiaoqing," another person rubbed his hands, unable to contain his excitement. "They should see what real acting looks like!"
The group began chatting, one after another. They seemed to have forgotten that before seeing this scene, they were no different from those netizens, all thinking Xia Hong definitely couldn't perform well.
"Indeed, we've hit the jackpot this time!" the lead paparazzo's voice was extremely excited. "Regardless of whether 'The Tianya Decree' is a terrible drama or not, at least these fight scenes are absolutely first-class."
Releasing such beautiful behind-the-scenes footage would surely cause a huge stir online!

In that moment, he could almost see a steady stream of traffic heading his way.
"Look, Wen Xuan and the others are entering the scene too."
The plot seemed to be progressing, with Wen Xuan, Xia Hong, Hu Qingnian, and two other supporting actors all present.
They were delivering lines, and the atmosphere seemed quite tense.
The paparazzi couldn't hear what they were saying, only seeing the actors' facial expressions changing, with undercurrents flowing around them.
"Cling—"
Е́ nŭ m a . і̇ d
Finally, a light metallic sound as a sword was unsheathed.
Xia Hong thrust his sword forward, and Wen Xuan's silk ribbon rose to meet it in collision.

Hu Qingnian's long blade was also drawn, grand and imposing, with a chilling glint.
Of course, filming fight scenes isn't something that can be accomplished in one go.
Since the actors were all suspended on wire rigging, they occasionally needed to stop for adjustments, and sometimes needed to reshoot certain shots.
But overall, this fight scene was particularly spectacular, with various brilliant techniques dazzling the eye.
Ê n̄u̇ m̊ a.. і̊ d̀
"Their movements are so fluid!" the lead paparazzo was thoroughly convinced. "When the final cut is done, they probably won't even need fast-forwarding techniques."
Their observation point was good, but being far away, the pixel quality wasn't clear.
But even so, the scene was still beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
The production crew members were closer, and many were stunned by the beautiful scene before them, unable to shift their gaze for a long time.

"So beautiful," someone couldn't help muttering softly. "After today's scene is filmed, I must take a couple of selfies here and post them to my moments!"
Ling Huanxuan stood by the shore, watching the scene in the frame, but her thoughts were more extensive than others'.

For a director, the two most important qualities are undoubtedly control over acting and control over camera framing.
The so-called sense of framing isn't merely emphasizing visual effects. It's about imagining what kind of picture should correspond to a particular text and from what angle to film it.
This ability requires talent. Even some professional directors still lack this ability. In fact, when filming a shot, some directors don't even know what kind of scene they want.
But Yao Bianliang was entirely different.
Perhaps she hadn't even noticed herself, but her talent in this area was extremely high. With just a few simple arrangements, she could create an overall sense of framing and atmosphere.
Such poetic and exquisite shots might not even be achievable by more experienced directors!

Now, having achieved such an effect, Sister Liang must be very happy...
Thinking this, Ling Huanxuan couldn't help but turn her gaze toward Yao Bianliang.
Then she saw that Yao Bianliang was sitting casually nearby, with no trace of surprise in her eyes. As if she had expected this all along, as if this was how things should be.
Ling Huanxuan couldn't help but feel even more admiration.
As expected of Sister Liang! It seems she had already anticipated being able to capture such beautiful scenes.
No wonder she had decided to be the director herself. She had confidence in her abilities and indeed possessed the talent to be a director.

What an all-around genius!
Ling Huanxuan was deeply impressed.

Yao Bianliang certainly didn't know that in Ling Huanxuan's eyes, she had become a master.
She was now so upset that she didn't want to speak. Thousands of words gathered in her heart, but in the end, only a "what the hell" remained.
How could this be! How could things turn out this way!
How could this shot turn out so beautiful?
Е ñ ům̆ а
She had merely made some casual arrangements, then assigned everyone their positions, and briefly explained how the scene should be performed... as for anything else, she hadn't done anything!
Moreover, when making these arrangements, Yao Bianliang had harbored a secret expectation.
On-location filming, if performed well, should have very good results; but at the same time, the difficulty of on-location filming is high, requiring better acting skills from the actors.
Among their actors, except for herself and Wen Xuan, the others didn't have much experience with fight scenes, so they definitely couldn't perform well.

This way, wouldn't the effect of the on-location filming become less than ideal?
But who could have imagined, the reality was exactly the opposite.

These actors all appeared to be traffic stars, but when it came to performing fight scenes, they were actually not inferior at all.
By now, Yao Bianliang had truly found herself in a dilemma.
She couldn't possibly call everyone to stop now and return to the studio to film, could she?
Besides, from the beginning, she hadn't even considered using a studio! She hadn't made adequate preparations for either personnel or facilities.
"Sister Liang, everyone is performing so well!" Yan Xiaoli's eyes sparkled with delight.
Yao Bianliang forced a bitter smile: "Yes, they're performing so well..."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The only problem now was that her own mental state wasn't very good.
"By the way, Sister Liang, shouldn't you be going on stage now?" Yan Xiaoli reminded her.
Hearing this, Yao Bianliang had to reluctantly compose herself and stand up.
At this point, she could only take things step by step.
Due to her professional qualities as an actress, by the time she came before the camera in costume, Yao Bianliang had completely adjusted her emotions and entered the state.
On the surface, she was a cold and aloof reclusive disciple; but in reality, as an avenger, a crazy demon resided in her heart.
E̊n̆u m̌.а̀ .i̊ d̈
"Look, Yao Bianliang is entering the scene!" The paparazzi hiding in the forest also grew expectant.
The companion responsible for filming had slightly shaky hands as he zoomed in, with the camera clearly focusing on Yao Bianliang's face.

She wore a pure white long dress, like an otherworldly immortal, her toes lightly tapping as she descended gracefully from above.

This fight scene was filmed smoothly, but altogether it still took more than three hours.
When it ended, all the actors who had been on wire rigging were sore all over, as if their strength had been completely drained.
Е̄n û m̌ â
The paparazzi in the forest were still excited, though. They took a few more photos of the actors, but didn't dare stay any longer, carefully retreating.
"We've struck gold, truly struck gold this time!" the lead paparazzo tried to suppress his inner excitement.
"Let's go back now, arrange the material overnight, and we can make a huge profit tomorrow."
Currently, "The Tianya Decree" was generally not viewed favorably by netizens and was subject to much mockery.

If they released this beautiful behind-the-scenes footage online, wouldn't those netizens be shocked speechless!
"Hmm, but it seems there's already a breaking news trending tonight..."
E n̆ū m̂ а̊
At this moment, the paparazzo who was scrolling through his phone frowned and spoke slowly.
"Huh? What breaking news?" Everyone was startled.
That paparazzo opened the trending page and read word by word: "Tianya Decree audition video leaked! How brilliant was Ouyang Xiaoqing's performance..."
Following this text were some simple GIFs and some on-site recorded short videos.
The paparazzo paused, somewhat surprised: "The audition video has actually been leaked. It seems Ouyang Xiaoqing is determined to drag down 'The Tianya Decree' and increase his own popularity!"
