Cloud Peak Scenery
Chapter 258 Ripples
Su Yao hadn't expected that Li Jie would directly seek out Lu Xuan to solve the problem.
However, she could understand Li Jie's feelings.
As an actress herself, she deeply understood the feeling of never being able to satisfy the director, no matter what she did.
But Li Jie's willingness to set aside his pride and ask Lu Xuan for help made her think highly of him.
This was a good thing for Lu Xuan.
She had been fully involved in the filming of *Hero* and knew how much effort Lu Xuan had put into this movie.
The two quickly moved on from the topic and walked towards a place not far from the set that sold fireworks.
During the first month of the lunar year, there weren't many pedestrians on the road, but you could still see many people setting off various fireworks on the roadside.
Su Yao greatly enjoyed the feeling of strolling along the road.
Thanks to the weather, the heavy down jacket and hat completely covered her up.
Others just thought of them as a common couple on the street and wouldn't surround them.
Overall, the evening leisure time made both of them feel very comfortable.
Back at the hotel, Lu Xuan immediately got into work mode.
First, he sent the manuscripts that Su Yao had organized to the company, asking them to immediately connect the website's recommended resources to create momentum for *The Legend of Sword and Fairy*.
Then, he sent the message to Su Mo.
He had now become the editor-in-chief of the website and was responsible for this aspect of things.
This included the promotion and publication of novels.
There were specialized people in the company to handle these matters, and Lu Xuan was confident that Aunt Liu could handle it well.
Once all of these things were arranged, it was already late at night.
Lu Xuan, who had been working hard all day, fell asleep quickly while holding Su Yao.
The next day, Lu Xuan arrived at the set early. Their filming was now in the final sprint stage.
Not only was Lu Xuan leading the filming, but the assistant director was also leading another group of people to work at the same time.
The efficiency was more than doubled for a time.
However, that crucial scene between Chen Daoming and Li Jie had still not been filmed.
Li Jie had entered a state of seclusion, and no one knew what state he was in now.
Some actors on the set were very interested in this matter. Many people had seen Li Jie go to Lu Xuan for advice.
Several versions had been circulated to explain this matter.
Lu Xuan was focused on filming and ignored the rumors on the set.
As long as they filmed according to his requirements, he was actually a very easy-going person.
The filming was proceeding in an orderly manner, and Li Jie, who had been in seclusion for two full days, finally appeared.
His appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone else on the set.
Almost everyone covered their mouths in disbelief.
Compared to when he first started filming, Li Jie had a lot more indescribable temperament on his body.
Chen Daoming also had this kind of temperament.
This feeling was more like a kind of pressure in terms of aura.
When Lu Xuan saw Li Jie, his eyes lit up.
He knew that Li Jie had successfully understood his meaning.
He immediately arranged things on the set: "Everyone, prepare for Scene 3, Act 4 of *Hero*!"
"Go get Teacher Chen Daoming, let's start filming now!"
Lu Xuan didn't dare to delay at all and immediately arranged everything.
Li Jie's current state was very precious. He didn't know how long the other party could maintain it.
So everything had to be done as soon as possible.
When the others on the set saw Lu Xuan's attitude, they responded very quickly.
In just ten minutes, everything was ready!
Looking at the two people in the lens, Lu Xuan's anticipation grew stronger and stronger.
"This is the feeling!"
Su Yao also came out of the room to join in the fun.
Looking at the two people in the viewfinder, her lips parted slightly.
She had seen Li Jie's state that day and knew his previous performance.
But now, the Li Jie in the viewfinder gave Su Yao a completely different feeling.
It was as if they were two different people.
Su Yao knew the difficulty of this matter.
Although she knew that Li Jie had problems with his understanding of the character, if it were her, she wouldn't know how to make changes in just two days.
Li Jie did it!
Moreover, not only did he do it, but the character image he was now portraying made Su Yao feel that he had taken it a step further.
"Action!"
After filming a scene, the people watching all called out that it was great!
Lu Xuan was also very excited. This was the last important scene in *Hero*.
Next was to prepare for the ending.
"Cut!"
This scene, which had originally been NGed (no good) more than a dozen times, passed in one take after Li Jie adjusted his state!
After filming, Li Jie walked to Lu Xuan's side.
"Director Lu, do you think my performance this time is okay?"
Lu Xuan was very satisfied.
This was the kind of actor he wanted to work with.
Sitting in the chair, squinting his eyes, he said, "Is your schedule free afterwards? After *Hero* is finished, I have other works later, and I would like to invite Teacher Li Jie to cooperate again."
Li Jie had a very good impression of the filming of *Hero* this time, and now that he had received an invitation from Lu Xuan, he was even more overjoyed.
"Of course!" Li Jie said excitedly, "My schedule is reserved for you, Director Lu. You can find me at any time."
After talking with Li Jie, Lu Xuan continued to film the following scenes.
While Lu Xuan was busy wrapping up *Hero*, Su Mo also started to take action.
In the past few days, Lu Xuan had sent him two-thirds of *The Legend of Sword and Fairy*.
After reading it completely, Su Mo was even more confident in this book.
Although he hadn't seen the ending, Su Mo had already determined that this book was definitely a rare masterpiece.
He immediately sent part of the book to the website sponsored by the Writers Association, in the editor group of Chinese online novel website.
Su Mo: "I recently received a high-quality manuscript. Everyone, take a look. If it's okay, connect it with some recommended resources."
Su Mo: "I hope to give it a site-wide promotion and a big banner push. What do you guys think?"
Su Mo's words caused a stir.
The editor group immediately became active.
Zhang Da: "It's rare to see you so actively recommending a manuscript. *The Legend of Sword and Fairy*, is it a Xianxia (fantasy) type?"
Zhou Zheng: "You're actually directly asking for this kind of top-level resources. Are you so optimistic about it?!"
After a few jokes, they began to read the story of *The Legend of Sword and Fairy*.
This reading lasted for a whole day.
"It's so addicting!"
If their stomachs hadn't been able to take it anymore, they wouldn't have been willing to take their eyes off this book at all.
Only then did they belatedly realize this and immediately replied in the editor group.
Zhang Da: "This book is amazing! This is the first time in so many years that I've been so engrossed in reading a book."
"And it's still a Xianxia (fantasy) theme!"
