Chewing and biting, just like the instinct of a reptile, some greasy things bloomed in the mouth with a fishy-sweet smell, and the brain, which was as slow as solidified gelatin, slowly shook, and the shapes of the teeth were distinguished.
The warm water in which the whole body was soaked gradually acquired the same fishy and sweet taste. Move forward, eat, and keep moving forward. Follow the original principle of survival and become stronger by devouring it.
At half past seven in the morning, Lu Ning woke up from bed on time.
She had forgotten how she got back to the room. She didn't know where Charles was. She saw an extra bracelet on her wrist. When she touched it, a message from Charles appeared on the display. He Yesterday, I took her back to the hotel room and left. This small communicator was used for communication between the two. Xia Er will continue to "observe" Lu Ning when she goes out, and there are still many confusions in his heart that have not been solved.
Lu Ning held her forehead and slowly recovered some memories. She turned her head and saw that Qu Yi's bed was still clean and tidy, and she had not come back.
Yesterday I saw the Mantra of Light and was instilled with a lot of knowledge. Now there is still a crackle-like light that appears and disappears in the corner of my eyes. Lu Ning slowly learned to ignore it. She got up and checked her equipment. There was still filming work today, and the filming of the third story, The End Emperor, was about to begin.
She didn't know what she had dreamed about, but it was probably a good dream. Except for the light in the corner of her eyes, Lu Ning felt that her mental state was quite good, maybe even more exciting than when she first entered the scene. After she took inventory of her things, she took her room card and went downstairs to have breakfast.
In the restaurant, she met Guo Xiao. This man who had not been seen yesterday was now eating a plate of breakfast consisting of corn, salad and eggs, which made Lu Ning feel a little weird. Although Guo Xiao, as a man, does eat more than her, he had never seen such a good appetite when everyone ate before. Now there are more than a dozen pieces of finished corn piled next to the dinner plate. And...if you're so hungry, why not choose red meat? This is a high-end hotel, and the breakfast variety is quite complete.
She walked over and sat down. Guo Xiao looked up at her, said hello casually, and then continued to eat.
"So hungry?"
"I'm hungry." Guo Xiao stuffed an egg into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it. "I've been very hungry since early today. Oh, I heard what happened yesterday. It's a pity that I couldn't participate. , what about you? Are you okay?"
"You can send a message to confirm this kind of thing, and I also tried to contact you, but I couldn't."
"Really?" Guo Xiao took out his phone and glanced at it, "Hey, I forgot to charge it and it was turned off a long time ago. Sorry, I borrowed a charger to charge it when I was shooting today. Was there anything urgent yesterday? Although I wanted to Join, but you don’t have to obey orders, right?”
"Of course not, it's just... I'm curious about what you have discovered if you haven't been with us. After the second phase of the mission was released, you should have been responsible for some exploration, right? I really won't order you to do it. What, but I also want to investigate what you did." Lu Ning chuckled.
"Inquiring about information, of course I also looked for the places mentioned in the mission. I didn't move that fast, so I just found a cockroach supermarket and a heretic shelter. A press conference is the kind of place where big trouble will happen at a glance. I won’t go to such a place, I’m not someone who likes to take such big risks.”
After saying that, Guo Xiao picked up another piece of corn and started to chew it.
Lu Ning didn't ask further questions. She knew she wouldn't find anything out if she questioned Guo Xiao. Within her field of vision, some small flames were constantly flying out of Guo Xiao's body, which were the traces left after the mantra ritual. But based on this alone, it is impossible to infer which mantra Guo Xiao came into contact with.
"So...how are the conditions in those two places?"
"The items sold in Cockroach Supermarket are weapons to destroy soft-shelled creatures. Soft-shelled creatures are the name for creatures like us. There are many powerful weapons there, and because the technology of cockroaches is different from humans, they can evade almost everything. The weapon detection method is a good place to arm yourself. I was not able to enter the Heretic Asylum, but found the door. The guard there said that I did not meet the conditions for asylum and would not let me in. "
"condition?"
"I don't know what the conditions are." Guo Xiao shrugged, "Ah, I'm finally full, I have to go to the set first. Lu Ning...senior, do you have any advice?"
"You don't need to use the honorific now, you haven't joined yet." Lu Ning shook her head.
Guo Xiao grinned, took away the last egg, and quickly left the restaurant.
Eating... right?
Lu Ning, who had obtained part of the knowledge of the Mantra of Light, already had a different understanding of this word. But so what? She didn't think Guo Xiao's discoveries could surpass hers. If he had any plans, just let him go and see about it, just like Qu Yi did.
She also finished her breakfast quickly and rushed to the set.
Ancient District No. 19, a filming location for palaces, battlefields and other large scenes.
Just as she approached the palace, Lu Ning heard the roar of Director Yu Zhan. There was no doubt that there might be more problems in such a big background. The arrangement of camera positions and filming were not something that could be solved almost halfway before. Yeah, we still need to get on track and stuff like that, so it’s quite busy early in the morning. After Lu Ning arrived, she also started to join the photography crew and get busy. Soon after, Ke Daolin, Mei Yu and An Youxi also arrived. The three of them had little time to communicate quietly. Yu Zhan almost walked back and forth throughout the set to make arrangements. It seemed that it would be done before nine o'clock Just arrange the shooting environment.
At about 8:40, Yin He and Yun Shu appeared on the set. The two people in charge were still very dedicated in assisting in checking for all errors and omissions. Lu Ning found that Yin He's understanding of photography had improved by leaps and bounds. The professional experiences in her mind were not much different. As for Yun Shu, he has been communicating with the director, screenwriter and others. It is probably due to schedule issues.
At this moment, Lu Ning saw Qu Yi arriving quietly.
Others may not have noticed, but Lu Ning and the others kept watching. Qu Yi's appearance also showed that Shen Yuancheng was finally over. Qu Yi's appearance was no different from usual, except that she changed into black clothes, which was not a color she usually wore.
But before anyone could ask questions, Yu Zhan assigned Qu Yi to her seat. The actors who had put on makeup also came to the scene one after another. The actor who played the emperor was an old actor with more than 20 years of acting experience. , and the ministers are almost all actors with some reputation.
There were no acquaintances of Lu Ning here, so she could focus on filming, at least not because she was concerned about too many issues. However, as the filming officially started, Lu Ning discovered that the light cracks that appeared in her field of vision from time to time really affected her work. She had to concentrate as much as possible to prevent them from affecting her vision. No matter how professional an actor is, there will inevitably be problems such as line errors. In addition to the live recording and the fact that this script has several long shots, the difficulty of filming has increased a bit. Yu Zhan probably knows this, so he is very patient and takes one shot at a time. Photographed carefully.
Compared to the previous days of shooting, this mission was obviously much more troublesome. It was around one o'clock in the afternoon when everyone was allowed to eat, and they didn't rest for too long. After eating, they continued shooting. For Lu Ning, the meaning of this rest time is that he can quickly ask Qu Yi.
Ke Daolin and others obviously have the same doubts. Although each other is curious about what the other experienced in Shenyuan City, the most important thing now is of course Qu Yi.
"Qu Yi, could you please say something?" Lu Ning patted her on the shoulder while taking the lunch box.
"Okay." Qu Yi whispered.
The six people found an empty courtyard in the side hall of the palace. Qu Yi didn't waste any time and directly said what everyone wanted to hear.
"Yesterday's incident was initiated by the Xunyou Sisters, but there were a lot of oriole behind them. The sisterhood just brought in a shadow that could restore the past for me. I don't know what the purpose of those who came after me was. Because of the encounter As people in the Earth, we had to retreat urgently, and therefore lost control of Shenyuan City. What happened after that... I can't answer you. When we found that we could no longer control the situation, we chose to start from the predetermined The route was evacuated.”
"So you have awakened? Have you chosen the path of mirage?" Ke Daolin asked.
"Yes. I can't get used to facing those powerful enemies in the scene without any strength. At least I am familiar with the power of the sisterhood, even if I can't help but be affected by this power. Of course, this is not without its benefits, Sister Xunyou The ability I am most proud of is to dig out and extract the glory of history. Now that I have restored this power, of course I can also find the history buried here."
"History? Is there anything related to history in this scene?" Guo Xiao asked.
Lu Ning sighed: "What are we filming? Have you looked carefully?"
"I thought it would be fine as long as the filming was over." Guo Xiao shrugged.
"The reason why the sisterhood is interested in this film and television base is because there is something full of what we call glory. That thing was used as the basis for the construction of this base. The sisterhood has not found it yet. Once it is found, use our The ability to plunder can take away all the glory here." Qu Yi showed a longing smile on his face, "And the script we filmed is actually closely related to the history here. I'm sure the creator of this script is not Common man, that man must have some idea of everything here, it was bait and the sisterhood had to bite.”
"Hmph." Ke Daolin sneered, "But at the end of yesterday's battlefield, there was no room for you to intervene, right?"
"Yes, the Xunyou Sisterhood may not be strong enough." Qu Yi was a little annoyed, "The people we came... still underestimated the opponent. No, that is because the opponent is originally a super-standard existence, whether it is the earthly dust or the The ascetic monk, or the Aurora who only took action once, their methods are not something that the Xunyou Sisters can often deal with."
"So do you still have the confidence?" An Youxi asked softly.
"Of course." Qu Yi looked at him, "Our strength is not at the same level as ours, and what we want must not be at the same level as ours. As long as we don't hinder them, there will be no difficulty in our actions. What's more, they have formed a tripartite Checks and balances, this is our chance!”
This... is not wrong.
Lu Ning didn't think people like Qisha would seek any historical glory or anything like that. These things probably had no meaning to Qisha. She was also a little curious about what finally happened yesterday.
"I'll talk to you when I get back. There's not enough time. The most important thing is to continue the filming." Ke Daolin gestured to Lu Ning with her eyes.
Everyone ate in a hurry and quickly returned to the shooting scene, but Yu Zhan was already yelling at people. Although today's director was patient, he didn't waste his time.
The script of The Last Emperor tells the story of an emperor who was on the verge of destruction and saved the country from the brink of life and death. This story undoubtedly adds more fantasy color, and it is obvious that it has a certain connection with Yan Guan in the previous story. But the more she filmed, the more Lu Ning recalled the story of the "first batch of people" mentioned by Guang Zhenyan before.
In this story, the emperor, at a critical juncture, dealt with a group of incompetent ministers, and against all objections, he activated the former generals to lead the army, and then promoted several capable ministers to handle the finances, and also added some legend. , mixed with some folk tales, such as a magical Taoist priest who summoned visions for the emperor to frighten the enemy, and mythical beasts coming to the rescue. In short, it is already a legend.
The three-episode length is actually very tight. Yu Zhan plans to finish filming the palace part of the script in two days. After all, there are various scenes to be filmed such as battlefields and private visits, and the time will be very tight.
"God bless my emperor, God bless Dayan!"
The ministers prostrated themselves in the palace, which was the last part of the scene shot during the day. This section is quite simple. As long as the emperor stands in the main hall and accepts the worship of the ministers, the country will be taken back into his hands again. As for the narration and so on, we will do it later.
"The daytime shooting is over! Come back at seven o'clock to shoot the night part, don't be late!" Yu Zhan said loudly.
Lu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. Her spirit was no longer tired from a day's work. Something was changing her subtly. Out of curiosity, Lu Ning also checked the history described in the story. This is not a completely fictional story. In the history of this world, Emperor Yan Yong, as the emperor of the resurgence of the Yan Dynasty, indeed reversed the Yan Dynasty at that time as if with divine help. In decline, he defended against three external enemies externally and reorganized officials internally. Unfortunately, after he stabilized the situation, he only reigned for nine years before passing away due to illness. As for what happened later, the cycle of rise and fall of dynasties could not be avoided. Although Emperor Yan Yong's son was considered an emperor who was strong enough to survive, he declined again from the third generation until the demise of the Yan Dynasty. It was only Emperor Yan Yong's return A hundred years after establishing the country.
Some historical views also believe that the appearance of a wise king alone cannot change the fact that the Yan Dynasty declined, and more social problems have already penetrated deep into the bones. Of course, many people think that if Emperor Yan Yong could live longer, maybe the Yan Dynasty would truly be resurrected.
