Chapter 276 - 277: I asked you to act, and you swung out Sword Qi with one stroke?

Chapter 276: Chapter 277: I asked you to act, and you swung out Sword Qi with one stroke?

"How long will the refining take?" Ye Wudao asked.

"At most three days! Three days from now, I’ll have San’er get in touch with you. If you don’t hear from us, it means this old man has already died!" Wu Yazi said.

"Thank you!" Ye Wudao clasped his fist and turned to leave.

"Xiao Zhu, aren’t you going to see off your little boyfriend?" Wu Yazi said with a smile.

"Ah, well, he’s not..." Ji Xiaozhu’s pretty face turned a shade of red, yet she still chased after him; "Hey!"

"What?" Ye Wudao asked.

"That, about today, I just want to say thank you for everything!" Ji Xiaozhu took a deep breath, wanting to invite Ye Wudao to dinner, but she ultimately swallowed the words.

"No need for courtesy!"

Watching Ye Wudao’s dashing figure fade away, Ji Xiaozhu’s beautiful eyes shimmered with ripples.

Will we meet again?

...

Just as he stepped out, Ye Wudao received a call from Xia Shiqi.

"Hello, Brother Wudao, where are you?" Xia Shiqi asked.

"Just finished some business. It’s only been an afternoon, do you miss me already?" Ye Wudao teased.

"Cut it out, Brother Wudao. Our film crew has run into some minor troubles. Can you come over and help?" Xia Shiqi requested.

"What kind of trouble?" Ye Wudao asked in surprise.

"Ah, we’ll talk when you get here!" Xia Shiqi said and then hurriedly hung up the phone.

Ye Wudao drove his exclusive car, speeding all the way to the Mountain City film and television base.

Once at the film base, he was greeted by a bustling scene, with nearly a thousand crew members busily working at a frenetic pace.

"Ye Wudao, over here!" Xu Yuanyuan waved to Ye Wudao.

Ye Wudao walked over, curiously saying, "This production team’s setup isn’t small at all!"

"Right, the budget is said to be several hundred million yuan, definitely a blockbuster." Xu Yuanyuan nodded.

"Where’s Shiqi?" Ye Wudao asked curiously.

"Look!" Xu Yuanyuan pointed ahead.

Following the direction Xu Yuanyuan pointed, Ye Wudao saw Xia Shiqi being surrounded by a group of actors and the director, the center of attention like stars around the moon.

"Are you a pig, or the top graduate of a premier acting school? Your acting is like a pile of dog shit!" Director Zhang berated a young actor.

The young actor bowed his head, silent.

The actors around them all started to laugh.

"And you all, still have the face to laugh? Each of you claims to have been acting since childhood, fancying yourselves as professional actors, yet your acting might as well be done by dogs?" Director Zhang yelled in anger.

The young actors suddenly had the look of bitter melons on their faces.

"All of you, a bunch of idiots, fools! Miss Xia has never acted before, yet her performance is natural and far surpasses you worthless people by a hundred times, a thousand times!" Director Zhang angrily exclaimed.

The young actors were about to cry from the scolding!

Xia Shiqi quickly tried to smooth things over; "Director Zhang, you’re too harsh. Everyone is performing well!"

"Yes, yes. For Miss Xia’s sake, I’ll let you all off the hook this time, or else I’d tear you a new one today!" Director Zhang’s attitude toward Xia Shiqi was like night and day compared to the other actors, as if he were the worker and Xia Shiqi the boss!

"Our Shiqi is really popular!" Ye Wudao said with a laugh.

"Isn’t she just. There was this male actor who, in his excitement to act with Xia Shiqi, ended up breaking his leg!" Xu Yuanyuan said, covering her mouth with laughter.

"That exaggerated?" Ye Wudao’s face showed surprise.

Xia Shiqi looked up, saw Ye Wudao, and quickly waved excitedly; "Brother Wudao, come over here!"

With his hands in his pockets, Ye Wudao walked over with swagger.

"Who is this guy?"

"Xia Shiqi is actually calling him brother..." many directors and actors looked on with surprise.

"Shiqi, what do you want to see me for?" Ye Wudao asked.

"I want to make a movie with you!" Xia Shiqi’s beautiful eyes shone with a hint of shyness.

Make a movie?

"I don’t know how to act!" Ye Wudao shook his head.

"Oh come on, I’ve never acted before either, but here I am, making a movie. You can do it too!" Xia Shiqi encouraged Ye Wudao.

"Alright, I’ll give it a try," Ye Wudao smiled.

Director Zhang, standing by, asked, "Sir, may I inquire which acting department you graduated from as a top student, and how many movies have you been in?"

Cough...

Ye Wudao’s face reddened with embarrassment.

He had agreed to help Xia Shiqi on a whim, just to fulfill a childhood movie dream of his own!

As for acting, he was a complete novice!

"Sorry, I haven’t been to college, and I’ve never acted before," Ye Wudao spoke the truth.

Upon hearing Ye Wudao’s words, Director Zhang’s brow immediately furrowed.

Clearly, Ye Wudao did not meet his expectations!

Although Xia Shiqi was a big-name star who deserved the greatest respect, letting someone who had never acted before join the cast could also affect his own reputation, and the other actors wouldn’t accept it!

"Director Zhang, my friend is very good at kung fu; he’s a martial arts master! Punching, kicking, using swords, spears, clubs, and staves, he’s proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons!" Xia Shiqi quickly spoke up.

"A martial arts master, heh, so young, I don’t believe it," Director Zhang said with skepticism in his eyes, "Could you give us a demonstration?"

"I can," Ye Wudao nodded.

"Here’s a prop sword for actors, try swinging it around!" Director Zhang took out a prop sword and handed it to Ye Wudao.

Ye Wudao held the prop sword in one hand, feeling its weight; it was a wooden sword.

"Start already!"

"Or are you saying you can’t do it at all?"

"So young, how could he possibly be a martial arts master!" Several actors looked at Ye Wudao with doubt on their faces.

Suddenly, Ye Wudao’s eyes took on a profound depth as he stepped forward and swung the sword abruptly.

A crisp sound of Sword Qi rang out!

"Wow, that’s the sound of Sword Qi!" everyone exclaimed in shock.

Ye Wudao handled the sword, at times like a dragon moving through the water, at others as light as a startled swan, dancing gracefully, accompanied by the sounds of the sword whistling through the air, he looked dashing and effortless,

After a complete display of Swordsmanship, everyone present was astounded!

Ye Wudao flipped his wrist and swung the sword fiercely.

In an instant, an incredible Sword Qi skimmed past and actually shattered a set of tables and chairs in front of him.

"Holy shit, a sword cut through the air and smashed the table!"

"This, this is simply more incredible than special effects!"

"I thought I was watching a movie!"

"This is a real expert, even more epic than the special effects in movies!" All the actors were as if struck by lightning, their expressions one of complete astonishment.

Ye Wudao tossed aside the prop sword and said with a faint smile, "Sorry for the spectacle!"

Director Zhang’s face displayed awe, and he clapped vigorously with excitement, "Good, good, good! Worthy of being Miss Xia’s friend, today has truly opened my eyes. In filmmaking, what we lack the most are experts like you with real skill. We welcome you to join us enthusiastically!"

Director Zhang was ecstatic, overjoyed!

With Xia Shiqi’s celestial beauty and influence!

Plus such an outstanding action actor!

How could this movie not be a hit?

Just then, a cold, mocking voice came through, "Heh, nowadays, just knowing how to swing a sword qualifies you to be an actor? Is he worthy?"
