Anyway, on the fourth night of "Ambush" filming, Rong Xu finally had his first scene with Han Yanghao.
In these past four days, Han Yanghao had to take his character posters on the first day, and didn't do any scenes. On the second and third day, he only did scenes with Zhang Tongtong and Yi Lan. So it was only till this fourth night that the crew officially shot Bai Mingde's and Hou Xi's first meeting.
This meeting was when Bai Mingde came to pick up his "nephew" from school, then "coincidentally" b.u.mped into Liang Linghui at the school gate and at the same time, managed to meet Huo Xi who came to pick up Liang Linghui.
This scene was arranged to be film at one of the Film&Television City's Republic of China's street that was surrounded by three to four small story high western-styled houses and ornate, decorated rooms in the Chinese gardens. The tall white marble Western walls and the
white walls, black tiles
perfectly merged together with both of the simple and cla.s.sical Eastern beauty and the fine geometric Western beauty.
This world's China didn't have any
aggression

in the twentieth century but there was still some friction against the West in the nineteenth century. China at this time had already slowly started to integrate both Eastern and Western cultures. The external friction wasn't extremely serious, the fiercer one was the internal fighting.
When it was time for Han Yanghao's scene, he still at the very least had some skills.
He pushed his bike with him to pick up his "nephew", and "accidentally" b.u.mped into Teacher Liang. The child kept on crying "Teacher Liang, Teacher Liang" and firmly pulled on Liang Linghui's sleeve. Liang Linghui bent over with a smile and said: "Okay, Teacher will send Xiao Yun off of the way."
Bai Mingde was tall and handsome, while Liang Linghui was gentle and beautiful, and between the two was a little boy with snow white and creamy skin, carved like jade.
No matter how you look at it, they looked like
a pair of
jade couple
. As they walked on the street, there were many who couldn't help but look at them, mistakenly thinking that they were a family of three.
Liang Linghui was probably also aware of their gazes, her cheeks blushed full of embarra.s.sment and wanted to immediately leave but Bai Mingde suddenly pulled her wrist, making Liang Linghui look at him in surprise. The two people's eyes met, creating a strange spark in the air.
At the same time, Huo Xi's car parked at the side of the road.
An extravagant and luxurious Plymouth slowly stopped at the bustling roadside. This car was clean and bright as snow as it reflected the clear blue sky. Just like this, it quietly stopped at the roadside, stopping not far behind from Liang Linghui and Bai Mingde, it silently and noiselessly stopped.
Such an expensive car would naturally attract a lot of attention, so Liang Linghui quickly noticed the car. She hurriedly threw off Bai Mingde's hand and walked up to the car. From when she threw off his hand to walking to the car, she only said one thing to Bai Mingde "My friend should've send a chauffeur to pick me up, goodbye." Bai Mingde subconsciously wanted to talk to her again.
But this time, Bai Mingde only shouted a "Teacher Liang", before his voice abruptly cut off.
In the script it said Bai Mingde completely didn't expected, that he would be able to meet Huo Xi so fast.
That day even Liang Linghui herself didn't know that Huo Xi personally came to pick her up and was sitting in the back seat of the car. He didn't show any reaction to this "a man pulling at his fiancee's wrist" matter; he didn't even know who Bai Mingde was. Only when Bai Mingde shouted out to Liang Linghui, did he finally push open the door and stepped forward.
As someone exceptional from the underground society, Bai Mingde quickly calmed down like it was their first meeting.
He watched Huo Xi who was walking step by step over to him and Liang Linghui and saw him glance down at Liang LingHui's sleeve. The glance was simple and casual, and was obviously only a casual glance, but it made Liang Linghui hide her hand behind her back.
That was the hand that Bai Mingde pulled at.
Zhang Tongtong was also an actress with skills, only, there were many actors who could act in this world. She was lucid and attractive, but wasn't beautiful to where it moved people, which was why even now she still wasn't extremely popular. At this moment, she stood face to face with Rong Xu while Han Yanghao stood behind her.
This was a scene with all three. Even though it wasn't the first time she filmed with Rong Xu, she still couldn't help but hold her breath from standing this close to the young man. She raised her attention to the max and seriously acted. She took the initiative to pull Rong Xu's arm and went to stand next to him.
This time she didn't have to face the young man so she relaxed a little and said her own lines: "Let's go, Huo Xi."
As she said this, Zhang Tongtong turned to go but Rong Xu didn't move.
In the script, it only used one line to describe this scene
As they looked at each other, Bai Mingde was nervous but rational; Huo Xi restrained his desire to kill.
This kind of psychological drama was the most difficult to shoot, and the first scene was given to Rong Xu.
Under being filmed by two cameras, the young man's left arm held his fiancee, he himself wearing a military uniform. A tall and upright posture and a very handsome appearance. Only, he had a cold countenance with a restless killing intent concealed behind his calm eyes. That pair of obscure black eyes reflected Bai Mingde's figure, yet it also seemed like he didn't put him in his eyes at all.
Director Zheng was very satisfied with this performance and at the same time, he went to go see the other footage displayed on the other three screens. But in that second when he turned his head, his gaze suddenly stopped. With widened eyes, he stared intently at the young man on the screen.
For this scene, a total of five cameras were used at the same time to film.
Three cameras on Han Yanghao, two cameras on Rong Xu.
In both screens, on the young man's refined and n.o.ble face, his phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed and his thin lips were slowly raised, exposing an unexplainable smile. He was laughing at Bai Mingde. His elegant eyebrow arched, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. A cold and powerful aura pressed down as he smiled, making Liang Linghui's whole body tremble and Bai Mingde even more so frightened.
It was as if at this very second, he could immediately pull out the pistol at his waist and shoot a hole directly through Bai Mingde's brain!
"Cut!"
Director Zheng stood up with a headache and loudly yelled: "Rong Xu is okay! Han Yanghao, the cameras are on you, start from that scene again!"
Han Yanghao somewhat rigidly turned around: "Okay"
When Han Yanghao turned to look at Rong Xu, he saw that he had turned around to talk to Zhang Tongtong. Where was that guy that had that terrible bloodthirsty aura from just before right now. He had obviously just saw a corpse from that pair of eyes, but now, this brat actually returned to normal.
Could it behis acting skills were that good? That he could lead him(HYH) around?!
No! That was absolutely impossible!
Han Yanghao calmed down and adjusted himself for a few second before they continued the filming.
But barely five seconds pa.s.sed this time when Director Zheng shouted again: "Cut! Han Yanghao, you're too nervous. You're an exceptional spy, although you're extremely nervous right now and something unexpected happened to you, you still need to calm down. If you can't even calm down right now, how are you going to get Huo Xi's trust in the future? Again!"
Han Yanghao dryly laughed twice: "Yes."
No one thought that this time's NG would led to seven more NGs before Han Yanghao's scene was finally pa.s.sable.
In this scene, Huo Xi never said a word to Bai Mingde. Liang Linghui only awkwardly introduced him a bit, that Bai Mingde was her student's uncle and was also a second rank officer in the Huo family army.
In response, Huo Xi had no interest and just lightly let out an "Oh." However, his lips with a smile yet not a smile curve and the expression in his arbitrary glance made Han Yanghao's body go stiffyes, he also NG-ed twice here.
Thee crew began eating dinner when this scene finished filming.
Han Yanghao's a.s.sistant took a privately prepared lunch and handed it over to Han Yanghao, but Han Yanghao just slapped down his chopsticks on the table, turned around, and went towards the bathroom. The little a.s.sistant was first startled for a second, then quickly chased after him.
Zhang Tongtong saw this scene from far away and couldn't help being a bit surprised, but then heard Yi Lan say: "Han Yanghao this guy, has an extremely horrible temper and especially arrogant. He NG-ed nine times before it was okay, so he definitely felt like he lost all face now."
Zhang Tongtong speechlessly muttered: "Isn't it normal for actors to NG? I also NG-ed five times yesterday ah."
Yi Lan put up her hands in surrender: "I also NG ten times on the second day haha, that scene was very hard to shoot. Director Zheng has been giving me the stink eye many times already."
The two women laughed together, then suddenly simultaneously turned to look at Rong Xu who was not far away. Yi Lan raised her voice to ask him: "Rong Xu, it doesn't seems like you NG-ed before ah?"
Rong Xu was surprised but smiled: "Didn't I NG once before this morning?"
Zhang Tongtong and Yi Lan immediately recalled that scene, then the two people: ""
NG? Why NG?
Because in that scene, Huo Xi was interrogating a rather die than submit person from the underground party. In order to show his cruel and tyrannical fickle temperament, the interrogation was originally going well, the other side was already fast approaching the critical point of breaking through his mentality and was about to reveal the spy when suddenly Huo Xi pulled out his gun and pulled the trigger!
That man's eyes widened as he stared in disbelief at Huo Xi.
As for Huo Xi, he lightly looked down at him and gave him the reason for his death: " I don't feel like hearing you say it anymore now."
Marshal Huo had always been temperamental and decisive in his killings.
And it was in such a scene, the reason why Rong Xu NG-ed was because when he was about to say the line that can make a person prostate in fear in the extremely high tensioned and nervous set, he suddenly sneezed!
Everyone was stunned. The tip of the nose of the previously domineering and tyrannizing Marshal turned red. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the props team member not far away from him and explained: "I'm a bit allergic to tulips. I didn't think there would be some here, so I didn't eat my medicine for allergy today. Do you think you can place that a bit farther away?"
Even the serious Director Zheng burst out laughing at this
.
This was called NG? If you call this NG, what do you call theirs? What do you call Han Yanghao's?!
"Ambush" crew's filming proceeded in a rapid progress. Aside from Han Yanghao's occasionally lost of face from NGs, everyone else got along very well.
The days pa.s.sed by one by one. Because he was too busy with filming, when Rong Xu finally had time to stroll through his weibo, he found out that his fans had actually reached 500,000! And it was tonight that "Vie for Supremacy" crew was about to release the first trailer!

In the far away B-City, inside certain hospital's top VIP ward, a fas.h.i.+onably dressed young man was sitting on the bed and drinking water while also playing on his phone. When he saw a certain news, he suddenly angrily threw his phone to the ground. The just newly bought phone broke into bits and pieces, scaring the manager next to him, causing him to jump.
That manager frowned: "Zhong Yi, what happened now? Properly control that temper of yours, you're buying the things that you break yourself. Don't make me buy it for you."
Listening to these words, Zhong Yi immediately glared at him with his big, clear eyes, and angrily shouted: "What does this count as?! What does this count as?! w.a.n.g
ge,
you tell me, Rong Xu went to act in "Vie for Supremacy". He originally found the role for me, now he went to act in it himself? When have you ever seen a money backer robbed their own actor's role? Fortunately, there's still nothing between us, if there really was something between us, I would've been disgusted to death! That stupid c.u.n.t and brainless idiot, he actually stole my role? Does he still want his face!"
