Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu
After this sudden development, Director Jacob was surely going to suspend the shooting, right? After all, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber had modified the plot beyond recognition!
But contrary to everyone’s expectations, Director Jacob didn’t intervene.
Director Jacob didn’t stop the shooting, because he felt that the performance of this minor character that had just appeared was excellent! Although he was supposed to say just a few lines, his performance turned out to be quite good and full of enthusiasm even if he wrongly p.r.o.nounced the name at the end.
Director Jacob was an expert when it came to China and Chinese, and he could hear and comprehend the content of the lines of the actors just fine. Therefore, he was aware that this ‘minor character’ had gotten the name of the man that Senior Sister Murong Hua was going to marry wrong.
However, it didn’t matter. As long as his outward expression while performing was good, it was fine.
As for the dubbing of the lines of the various actors, it was something they could fix in the sound recording studio after the shooting of the movie. Since they had to modify only the lines of a minor character, they could casually grab someone to dub that part again.
In addition, the only thing that this minor character got wrong was the name at the end. The remaining part was fine and matched the movements of his lips. With that, it would be even easier to dub that part during the post-production phase!
Even if the actor was saying something like ‘one, two, three, four, five, six, seven’ during the shooting of the movie, it was possible to change the part during the post-production phase and turn it into cool lines. Therefore, the current situation wasn’t problematic at all.
Such being the case, they didn’t need to worry and could keep shooting the scene.
As long as the facial expression of this minor character was on point, there was no problem whatsoever.
Thereupon, Director Jacob decided not to cut out the part of this minor character full of enthusiasm.
Well, one couldn’t deny that all those that excelled at seeking death were indeed full of enthusiasm.
❄️❄️❄️
Since Director Jacob didn’t put a stop to the shooting of the scene, the show had to go on!
Venerable White instantly returned to his senses and placed himself in the shoes of his character once again. If Senior Sister Murong Hua was going to marry Thrice Reckless Mad Saber, then so be it. After all, it was something between Medicine Master and Riverly Purple Mist. In other words, it didn’t concern him.
In the next moment, the anxiety on Venerable White’s face increased as he asked, “Ling Sen, where is Senior Sister Murong now? Bring me where she is, I want to see her!”
“Senior Brother Ling Ye, I just came over from Senior Sister Murong Hua’s place. At this time, her dwelling is full of people. I’m afraid you won’t be able to see her before she marries that ‘Thrice Reckless Mad Saber’. However, Senior Sister Murong Hua told me to give you this letter.” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber’s played the role of this minor character incredibly well, perfectly showing the anxiety of his character.
He hurriedly took a letter out of his clothes and handed it over to Senior Brother Ling Ye.
Venerable White took the letter in his hands.
Director Jacob waved his hand. The camera first focused on Venerable White’s face and then on the content of the letter in his hands.
“If you stand by my side, I won’t leave you for a lifetime.” It felt as though Senior Sister Murong had carved each of the words on the letter paper. The letter wasn’t long, and it was mainly telling Ling Ye one thing.
Senior Sister Murong Hua wanted Ling Ye to come to the wedding location three days later, right on the day of the marriage… as long as Ling Ye came, she would get married to him even if all the people in the world tried to stop her!
Senior Sister Murong Hua had revealed all her feelings in the letter.
The camera again focused on Venerable White’s body.
Venerable White clutched the letter, and a firm expression appeared on his face. “Even if my legs were to break, I’ll crawl to the location of the wedding three days from now on!”
“Ling Sen, thank you for delivering me this letter. I’m really grateful for what you did,” Venerable White said.
“It’s a pity that I can do only this much.” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber sighed with emotion, and a desolate expression appeared on his face.
The camera zoomed out and the ripples that had formed on the limpid surface of the lake were now visible.
The wind blew, and the broken leaves danced in the air.
Venerable White kept playing Ling Ye’s role and tightly clutched the letter while grasping his sword with the other hand. His hair and daoist robe were currently fluttering in the wind.
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber played Ling Sen’s role and stood in front of Venerable White with a desolate look in his eyes.
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber brought upon himself the stigma of being wild and crazy. Now that he wasn’t seeking death and was quietly standing in place, he looked rather handsome.
The current scene could be used as a wallpaper without problems.
Director Jacob felt that this scene was perfect to conclude the shooting of this segment. “Cut!”
The shooting of the first scene of the second act was complete!
Next was the part where the ferocious wild beasts would attack Ling Ye.
❄️❄️❄️
“Everyone should seize this opportunity to take a short break. We’ll start with the shooting of the next part in a while. Mister Song Bai, your acting was perfect this time around as well. The acting of this mister that performed Ling Sen’s role was also very good and full of enthusiasm. It’s a shame that you only got to play the role of such a minor character.” Director Jacob rarely spoke this much.
Venerable White faintly smiled.
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber laughed complacently.
Afterward, Venerable White put his sword away and waved his hand at Thrice Reckless Mad Saber.
Then, he waved at Cave Lord Snow Wolf and his family, preparing to go to the next shooting location together with them.
After seeing that Venerable White was about to leave, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber immediately called out, “Eh? Senior White, wait a moment!”
Venerable White turned around and looked at Thrice Reckless Mad Saber in puzzlement. “Yes?”
“Senior White… shouldn’t you give me a ride on your ‘disposable flying sword’ and send me away at this time? After all, I just sought death and ruined the plot of the movie. Therefore, you must be quite unhappy right now, am I correct?” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber reminded Venerable White out of ‘kindness’. “Come, don’t take pity on me. Send me flying away with a disposable flying sword. Even if it’s the revised version, the disposable meteor sword, I’m not afraid. I’m the fearless Thrice Reckless Mad Saber!”
How could Thrice Reckless Mad Saber continuously seek death and not die?
Reason number one: he followed the principle of not seeking death for more than three times in regards to a single subject. As long as he could keep this point in mind, he could avoid dying while seeking death.
Unfortunately, he found it impossible to control himself at times. Therefore, what to do if he sought death for more than three times by mistake?
