Yatong’s Weakness (1)

Because Shan Yatong wasn’t in good health, the rest of everyone else’s scenes were moved the next day. Shan Yatong was sitting next to the monitor in his daily clothes, watching others’ scenes. His face was still pale with sickness.

He rarely scrutinized the rivalry scenes of Luo Yanqian and Xiao Qishen. Firstly, although they had a lot of scenes, there was also him in the middle. Secondly, he didn’t really like to see how the “juniors” acted. It didn’t matter how arrogant they were; he just couldn’t be bothered to watch them.

Watching the confrontation between the two people in the movie, even he suspected that there was enmity between those two people. One of them was smiling with a hint of killing intent, while the other was gentle and refined, but there was always a hint of dominance. He had to admit that these two people’s performances were incredibly marvelous. From the perspective of handling small details, Xiao Qishen was still slightly better. Xiao Qishen had been in the industry for four years, while Luo Yanqian had only been in the industry for a year or so, much worse than Xiao Qishen.

Shan Yatong leaned against the back of his chair and lazily watched the two of them swing in the air. He fiddled with the watch on his left wrist and suddenly said, “Director Li, there seems to be something wrong with Luo Yanqian’s position. If you move a little to the left, the result will be better.” He then retracted his gaze.

Li Nan stroked his chin and took a closer look. He nodded and guided the prop master to his desired objective. He looked at Shan Yatong with a smile. “Yatong knows quite a lot. I have to say that you’re a genius.”

Shan Yatong shrugged his shoulders and stood up. “Being a genius isn’t worth it. Besides, I know very well that I am not. There’s no reason to know or not know many things. Actually,” Shan Yatong looked at Li Nan sideways. For the first time, a newcomer’s sense of alienation and respect for an international director disappeared from his eyes, “it’s just like not taking other people seriously. It doesn’t matter whether they are or not. If a living person continues to live, the deceased should rest peacefully. There’s no need to feel unhappy for yourself and the others.”

After saying this, he faintly smiled and walked away from the filming site. However, the smile in his eyes couldn’t be hidden. As expected, he still liked to say such shocking and suspicious words. Seeing others feel uneasy, he would occasionally feel very good.

Just because Shan Yatong was relaxed didn’t mean that Li Nan was as relaxed as he was. He stared blankly at the back of Shan Yatong as he walked further and further away. When he thought about the way Shan Yatong had looked at him earlier, it was just like the eyes of that person. The deceased had found peace. What did he mean by that? Could it be that he really was…

That wasn’t right. That wasn’t right. Shan Yatong didn’t say anything. He was a pitiful child who grew up in an orphanage under the new China. How could he believe that there was such a thing in the world? If there was really a god, why were there so many unjustifiable things in the world?

Then, what was the meaning of that kid’s words? Could it be that he was making fun of him? Stinky brat, it seems like I’m too kind. To think that I’m being played like a joke. Wasn’t that a joke?

He shook his head and continued to carry out the next set of shots. Li Nan decided to ignore what the little fox said. Did he think that he didn’t understand that he was a fox? Hmph!

The filming went smoothly. Shan Yatong’s body recovered very quickly and gradually caught up with the progress. However, because of the mythological nature of the subject matter, Shan Yatong would often hang in the wire for an hour or two. The effect of the filming was stunning and moving, but when they slept at night, the actors would bare their teeth.

Although the scenery in Yunnan was beautiful, the weather was humid. Outsiders couldn’t stay here for long. After residing here for a long time, their bodies wouldn’t be able to withstand it. Since summer was approaching, some actresses have small red rashes on their bodies. They have to put on heavy makeup to cover the little red spots on their faces.

If it weren’t for the fact that this film would be an international blockbuster, many of the female stars would have already stopped acting. However, when they thought of the sensation that this film might bring, they all endured it.

In this way, more than half of the filming plan in Yunnan has been completed. Shan Yatong was dressed in a white robe and painted in alluring makeup. The scene he was filming was to show off his nature by standing at the edge of the cliff.

For the effect to be realistic, Shan Yatong had to stand at the edge of a cliff. Although a safety rope was attached to his body, standing in such a high place was still frightening. When he walked to the edge of the cliff, Shan Yatong could hear the whistling sound of the wind passing by his ears.

Xiao Qishen saw Shan Yatong looking down at the ground; his bangs covered his face. For some reason, he felt something was wrong.

After everything was set in place, Li Nan made a gesture and started filming.

However, what was surprising was that Shan Yatong’s performance wasn’t satisfactory. Li Nan frowned. Although it was normal for him to be out of control, it was a little surprising for him to be out of control.

The second round of filming was incomplete. The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time…

“Crack!”

Li Nan’s face darkened. “Shan Yatong, what are you doing? You can’t even get a good shot. What are you doing? If you don’t have a good attitude, don’t be an actor. Don’t think that you can become a celebrity just because you have a face.”

His words were indeed rude. Wei Ming, who was standing at the side watching the show, sneered disdainfully. A newcomer was a newcomer. Even if they occasionally performed well, they couldn’t withstand so many tests.

No, Xiao Qishen walked forward. The closer he got, the more he saw Shan Yatong’s trembling shoulders. He hurriedly strode to Shan Yatong’s side. “Yatong, what’s wrong?”
