Cloud Peak Scenery
Chapter 334 A Drama of Suffering
The filming of *War Wolf* went smoothly. Although the progress was still slow, it was stable.
Lu Xuan was very satisfied with the new look of these actors. For him, the harder these people worked, the better the effect *War Wolf* would have in the future.
He even secretly told Aunt Liu about the actors he was optimistic about, asking her to contact them and see if she could sign them to Xuan Yao Company.
After finishing these trivial matters, Lu Xuan focused his energy on filming the movie again.
The filming of *War Wolf* was already halfway done, and the next scene to be filmed was Lu Xuan's solo performance.
He needed to reload a pistol with his foot while one hand was injured during a chase, completing a counterattack.
This scene required a certain degree of body control and even required practice to maintain a certain continuity.
Although this scene could be filmed using post-editing, Lu Xuan insisted that it be done in one take.
So the progress was stuck here.
This scene was also a challenge for Lu Xuan.
Although he had trained in the army for three months, his physical fitness still couldn't catch up with those special forces soldiers.
The technique of kicking a pistol was a subject that only special forces soldiers would train in.
With his current physical fitness, he could only barely release this technique, but it was still difficult to use it coherently during filming.
After all, this was a long shot, including chasing, fighting, and arm injuries.
He needed to perform and use the technique at the same time.
Lu Xuan could only train this technique over and over again during breaks in filming.
However, because real guns were used, he was inevitably injured by the cold metal, so his tiger's mouth quickly became scarred.
Su Yao stayed by Lu Xuan's side, and every time she saw blood flowing from Lu Xuan's tiger's mouth, she would take the medical kit she carried with her and go over to bandage him.
Practice makes perfect, and Su Yao had long become skilled at handling these minor injuries.
Lu Xuan looked at Su Yao bandaging his wound and said with a smile.
"It's a good thing I have you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bandage this wound so beautifully."
Su Yao gave Lu Xuan a charming roll of her eyes.
"If you weren't always getting injured, would I have this skill?"
"You really don't take care of yourself at all. Can't you be more careful?"
Lu Xuan felt warm in his heart when he heard Su Yao's words with a bit of complaint.
Sometimes, it feels really good to have someone by your side saying something like this.
"Isn't this what filming requires? If I didn't lead by example, these people wouldn't be working so hard now."
"Look at the crew now, no one is complaining about being tired. Can you believe it?"
"These people used to be little fresh meat, but now they have such a transformation, so we have to seize it."
"These people now have both good looks and attitude, so the future is promising!"
Su Yao sighed and said helplessly,
"No matter what I say to you, you can always find an excuse to shut me up. I really can't do anything with you!"
"Look at the calluses on your hands. They're even a bit different from those old soldiers."
Lu Xuan spread out his hand and let Su Yao touch it, and said.
"It's still a bit different from them. It's just that my hands were too delicate before, and I've never trained for such a long time like this."
"It's a bit too sudden for me to train like this now, so these calluses will appear."
Su Yao felt extremely distressed when she looked at him like this.
But there was nothing she could do.
After all, she knew how much effort Lu Xuan had put into this movie.
"Then you should still pay attention. You're the main character. If the progress is delayed because of an injury, wouldn't it be a loss?"
"The entire crew is relying on you to maintain it."
"You don't really want to let someone else take over after you're done filming, do you?"
Su Yao's reverse persuasion obviously worked.
Lu Xuan began to be more careful in the following filming.
However, Lu Xuan felt that he was not ready for the scene of changing bullets with one hand.
He planned to practice for a while before filming.
Su Yao was already very satisfied that she could keep Lu Xuan from taking risks.
So, while Lu Xuan practiced this action, she watched expectantly from the side.
Li Hao, as the assistant director, helped Lu Xuan with odd jobs and felt that Lu Xuan's way of changing bullets was very special.
"Brother Lu, why don't you let me try it too? I want to see if I can do it?"
After Lu Xuan successfully tried again, he handed the pistol in his hand to Li Hao.
"Try it, it's not easy. You can easily kick your own hand if you're not careful. I kicked myself a lot when I first started."
Li Hao saw the scene of Lu Xuan getting injured, so he held it carefully in his hand at this time.
He tried it.
He tried it dozens of times in a row without success, but instead added a few wounds to his hand.
"Is this thing that difficult?"
Su Yao took Lu Xuan's arm and said.
"If it wasn't difficult, would Lu Xuan have practiced for so long?"
"Stop trying, your girlfriend isn't by your side if you get injured!"
Lu Xuan smiled happily and raised his eyebrows at Li Hao triumphantly.
Li Hao didn't care and handed the pistol in his hand to Lu Xuan.
"Then how are you doing with your practice now?"
"Are we going to continue filming or wait and see?"
"I think you can try it once now and see what the effect is in the camera. This way, it will be easier to improve."
Lu Xuan nodded after listening.
"I think it's okay, let's film it once and see."
"When I practice by myself, I can already do it successfully once, but I don't know what it will be like to cooperate with people."
The news that Lu Xuan was going to film reloading with one hand immediately spread throughout the crew.
When the others heard about this scene, they were all looking forward to it.
Because the action was difficult and the filming effect was good, as long as it could be performed, it would definitely be a classic.
He immediately called friends and companions to surround him.
"Director Lu is going to film that scene, come and see, Director Lu has been practicing for so long, maybe he'll pass it in one go."
"If you miss it this time, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to see it in the future!"
With such a theory, even more people immediately gathered around.
They were afraid that they would miss any details.
Lu Xuan didn't stop the people who were surrounding him from watching.
After all, he had been filming for so long, and he was already used to being watched.
He took a deep breath, made a gesture to Li Hao, and then went to the backstage to change clothes.
Li Hao prepared the candidates for this scene and set up the camera.
When Lu Xuan was ready, he immediately pointed the camera at Lu Xuan.
"Scene 50, first take!"
"Action!"
