Chapter 669: Seniors, please teach me the clone technique you use to flood the group
Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu
Under Venerable White’s control, Song Shuhang—who was playing Senior Brother Gao Sheng’s role—got closer to Ling Ye step after step, using another basic saber technique with the treasured saber Broken Tyrant in his hand.
Each of his attacks was overbearing and incredibly fierce!
At this time, Senior White, who was playing the role of the main character Ling Ye, was more and more at a disadvantage. There were a lot of holes in his daoist robe already.
The shooting was progressing without a hitch. Now, they just had to go on like this for a while and have Senior Brother Gao Sheng severely injure Ling Ye. At that time, Senior Sister Murong Hua would step forward and gently comfort Ling Ye, putting an end to the first act of the movie!
However, Song Shuhang had started to panic right now.
It’s bad, very bad!
There wasn’t any problem with Venerable White’s acting. Even if he was controlling two characters at the same time, the martial arts contest on the stage was proceeding without any problem.
But along with the increasing number of holes in Venerable White’s daoist robe, the bad premonition that Song Shuhang was having was also getting stronger and stronger.
He felt that there were a lot of people staring daggers at him. If these daggers were real, Song Shuhang would have already become an honorary (dead) member of the brave sea urchin warrior race.
Amongst the people that were staring daggers at him were the fairy maidens of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, all the members of the movie crew, and even creatures such as True Monarch White Crane.
Fairy maidens, elder sisters, this is just an act, an act!
Song Shuhang felt that his back was covered with sweat. The stares were making him feel a lot of pressure. He knew that if things kept going on like this, the number of the stares would just get higher and higher.
Aside from the pressure he was feeling from these people staring daggers at him, Song Shuhang was under pressure for another reason as well.
The number of holes in Senior White’s daoist robe was getting higher and higher as time pa.s.sed by, with more and more skin getting exposed. Senior White’s charm was quite scary under these circ.u.mstances.
This amount of charm was second only to the one Senior White released when Song Shuhang sought death in front of him. Back then, Senior White smiled brightly and the entire world lost its colors, with the charming Senior White being the only creature in the world to retain his colors.
Song Shuhang was trembling in fear. He felt that people would start to hunt him down for real after this movie was screened.
Was it time to call for a break?
❄️❄️❄️
Just as though he had heard Song Shuhang’s inward cry…
Director Jacob shouted at this time, “Cut!”
Immediately thereafter, the make-up artists and members of the stage props team got into action.
“What happened?” Venerable White looked at Director Jacob in puzzlement. He felt that his current state was good enough to allow him to finish the shooting of this scene in one go!
Director Jacob laughed and said, “We have to temporarily stop the shooting since we have to apply some make-up to the two of you. For example, we need to splash some fake blood on Mister Song Bai’s body, and according to the script, the final scene consists in Senior Brother Gao Sheng’s. .h.i.tting Ling Ye until making him spit out blood. Such being the case, Mister Song Bai, which type of flavor would you like for your blood bag?”
Venerable White nodded his head. So that was how it was.
Thereupon, the members of the stage props team and the various make-up artists entered action, applying the necessary make-up to Senior White.
They mainly applied some fake blood where Senior White’s daoist robe had been slashed open and in some other parts of his body, making it look as though he had been wounded.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, one had to take several breaks while shooting fighting scenes, shooting one scene at a time.
For example, the scene of the main character getting on stage would have to be shot again if the posture of the actor wasn’t correct.
Sometimes, one had to shoot scenes in which strong wind was blowing up and dust was covering the sky. Therefore, it was impossible to delay such scenes, and they had to be shot on the spot.
All the movements that one had to perform during a fight were planned ahead of time. The posture one had to a.s.sume was also decided before the shooting of the scene. After the shooting started, one had to follow the rhythm set in advance. If they didn’t, the scene would have to be shot again.
However, Director Jacob was well aware that the movie he was shooting at this time was somewhat special.
When the person that funded the movie, Mister Ling Die, contacted him and offered him that large sum of money for this task, he also told him that the actors of his movie didn’t want to shoot one scene at a time as others did.
If they had to proceed as people in normal shootings did, where each scene was usually shot several times, the members of the group would go crazy.
Therefore, this movie had to be shot in one go as each scene unfolded.
Mister Jacob had already prepared for the worst when he’d accepted to shoot this movie, to the point that he reached an agreement with Mister Ling Die about not adding his name as the director in the credits of the movie if the final result wasn’t satisfying enough.
Mister Ling Die happily agreed to this request… after all, little friend Song Shuhang only needed a good director and movie crew to help him shoot the movie. As for who the director or the members of the movie crew were, no one really cared about that in the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
Anyway, thanks to this condition, even if the movie turned out to be terrible, it wouldn’t leave a stain on his career as a director. That large sum of money he was offered, coupled with his strange state back then, made Mister Jacob accept the task to shoot this movie.
But now, it seemed that the movie was going to be much better than what he had initially expected.
In addition, there was no need to follow that set of movements they had agreed upon before the shooting… because the fighting scene was super exciting the way it was!
❄️❄️❄️
Venerable White didn’t dislike the fact that they were applying make-up for him. Actually, he was quite interested in the process. It was rather refres.h.i.+ng seeing the make-up artist drawing bruises and adding wounds on his body.
On the other hand, the three girls in charge of applying make-up for Venerable White were blus.h.i.+ng and exuded feelings of love from their eyes.
❄️❄️❄️
Song Shuhang didn’t need much make-up. They just had to straighten out his daoist robe and fix his hair a bit.
The nearby True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple said with a smile, “Little friend Song, I feel that the eyebrowless you is very suited to play Senior Brother Gao Sheng’s role. Did you shave your eyebrows just for this occasion?”
“…” Song Shuhang.
F*ck! Have I been performing without eyebrows all along?
