Chapter 1313: Waiting for Her Action Scene to Flop
Yun Qiluo sat on the chair eating a small cake, paired with fruit tea, feeling quite satisfied.
After the break, the Director introduced the martial arts coach in the drama to Yun Qiluo. She had a night assassination scene later, so she needed to learn some basic moves and try wire work.
In the novel, the character Xue Yao played by Yun Qiluo could run up walls and jump down from walls more than two meters high, and she had to know how to do backflips and the like.
At first, the Directors were most worried that she wouldn’t be able to handle these parts.
But after filming for a few days, they found Yun Qiluo quite talented in acting, and even if her fight scenes were a bit lacking, it was understandable.
After all, she’s a young girl, with such a small frame, looking almost like a doll. Expecting her to be great at fight scenes would be too much.
They believed the audience would understand as well.
Looking at that face, no one’s attention would be on her fight scenes anyway.
When the martial arts coach arrived, the Director specifically told him, "Try to teach her some simple moves. As long as she can do them, we can add the rest in later."
"We’re shooting tonight; let’s see how far she can get."
The crew was too busy, and the martial arts coach was expensive, so he couldn’t stay with them the whole time. Otherwise, he would really prefer Yun Qiluo to practice from start to finish.
Looking frail, this young girl must be weak in both foundation and stamina.
The martial arts coach had the same first impression when he saw Yun Qiluo.
He generally disliked teaching these delicate little stars. The men weren’t too bad, but with women, nothing ever seemed right. However, seeing this young girl looking obedient and sweet, she immediately greeted him with a "Hello, teacher."
The martial arts coach felt quite pleased.
He said, "Okay, come with me to the side to practice. I’ll start by teaching you some basics."
The crew had a dedicated mat, and the staff pulled it over so Yun Qiluo could perform her dangerous movements on it without getting hurt.
Su Niannian, seeing Yun Qiluo being led away by the martial arts coach, kept an eye on them the whole time.
She couldn’t help feeling smug, just waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
Yun Qiluo’s small arms and legs, anyone could tell her limitations. No matter how talented she was at acting, martial arts were a different story. If she couldn’t handle fight scenes, the impact on her character’s effect would be significant.
She was just waiting to see the Director’s darkened face.
Besides, Yun Qiluo seemed so delicate; she had learned earlier that she was someone who cries often, frequently shedding tears in front of Yan Yan.
Quite a few people were paying attention, mainly because everyone wanted to see how Yun Qiluo would do, whether she could make it work.
If not, tonight’s scene would be troublesome.
The martial arts coach wanted to assess her situation, so he said, "Can you try holding a horse stance first?"
Yun Qiluo asked, "For how long?"
The martial arts coach waved his hand: "As long as you can. Stop if you feel tired."
So Yun Qiluo obediently held a standard horse stance, and the martial arts coach was quite satisfied with her posture. While timing her, he asked:
"Have you done this before?"
"Mm."
Although it wasn’t a pleasant memory, she had undergone various types of training when she was very young in the laboratory.
A standard horse stance is very tiring; generally, those without training background would struggle after a minute.
But for Yun Qiluo, by the time a song ended... she remained motionless, without even a drop of sweat on her face, her expression as calm as ever.
