  "Cut! That's a wrap for today!" Director Wang Ziyue shouted in satisfaction.

  The actors playing dead bodies suddenly jumped up and scattered like birds and beasts.

  The masked heroine grasped the sword hilt, struck two poses, and then stood up with a smile, pulling off her mask to reveal a charming face.

  "Hey, hey, put us down!" someone shouted from mid-air.

  This is a bamboo forest, with a corpse wearing blood on the tip of a sharpened bamboo, and another man sandwiched between two extremely close bamboos. At this time, the man wearing the bamboo tip twisted his head down and shouted, and the warrior who was sandwiched between the bamboos and pretended to be dead also opened his eyes.

  The crew carefully lowered them down with ropes.

  "Xiao Xi, come here."

  Wang Dao beckoned, and the assassin, with half of his chest covered in blood-stained bamboo tips, ran over: "Wang Dao."

  Wang Dao took a step back: "Little Xi, how's what I lent you?"

  Xie Bin smiled and said: "Director, I've spent a lot of effort, persuading Dakai Living Buddha with great difficulty, and finally got him to nod his head. The thing has been borrowed."

  Wang Dao was overjoyed and patted his shoulder heavily: "Great, tomorrow we'll be filming the scene of sacrificing to complete Yan Aguda's play. With this antique around, it feels like the real thing. Is it properly placed?"

  "Don't worry, Wang Dao, nothing will go wrong, I'll take another look later."

  "Good, good, good! Your work attitude is strict enough. After all, details determine success or failure..."

  "Director Wang~~", just as he was saying that, a sweet and charming voice called out. The female lead, Miss Sheng Han, who was dressed in a heroic costume, walked over with a gentle swaying of her hips and said: "Director Wang, today's shoot had six NGs, I'm exhausted and my waist and back ache, you'd better treat me to dinner tonight."

  "Haha, okay, okay, I'll treat you! I'll treat you!" Wang Dao immediately smiled: "Let's go, take off your makeup and take a shower first. Later, I'll take you out to try some authentic Tibetan cuisine."

  Shang Han threw him a flirtatious glance and walked away with a gentle swaying of her hips.

  The prince couldn't bear to talk to Xi Bin again, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Xi, then I'll trouble you, I'm leaving first." After finishing speaking, he chased after Zhu Dabao's beauty in a hurry.

  Xī Bīn shot a fierce glance at Xiāng Hán Miss's slender waist, which was swaying gently, and let out a soft sigh, saying: "Alas, what a pity! A whole garden of good cabbage has been ruined by pigs!"

  Guan Yu, disguised as another Korean assassin, walked up behind him and chuckled: "Who made you the director? The pretty girls are all eager to be ruled by the hidden rules. You're just a scene recorder, this is the shortcut to becoming a director, when you mix it up, you'll also enjoy this treatment."

  Xī Bīn turned his head and saw that it was his good friend Guān Yú, and only then did he put his mind at ease.

  He is a script supervisor, belonging to the director's department. However, the script supervisor has the lowest position in the director's department, the worst treatment, and the heaviest workload. Nevertheless, being a script supervisor is indeed a shortcut to becoming a director. If done well, after completing one film, you will be qualified to become an assistant director.

  Guan Yu is also the screenwriter of this film. The two are very close friends. In the face of economic crisis, in order to save money, these two assassins who only appear once were asked by the director to make a guest appearance together.

  Xī Bīn patted his shoulder and laughed, saying: "You walk so quietly, it's like you're sneaking up on people! Were you scared to death? Did Miss Shuāng Hán bat her eyelashes at you?"

  Guān Yú shook his head and sighed with a bitter face: "Forget it, screenwriters are not in demand now."

  Two people walked shoulder to shoulder towards the second studio, Guan Yu spat out bitter water and said: "Since I was young, I've seen a lot and summed up an experience: when flirting with girls, you need to have talent. From Sui He's seduction of Widow Qiao, to Zhang Sheng's seduction of Cui Yingying, to modern-day Xu Zhimo, who didn't use their talents as a door-opener?

  I just saw this point, so I studied liberal arts. Who knew that human calculations are not as good as heavenly calculations? By the time I struggled to make a name for myself, the era had progressed, and writers were no longer called writers, but were called "writers" instead. The small-capitalist female youth have all gone extinct, and those who look pretty have directly pursued money and power. Nowadays, directors are in high demand, while us writers can only go online to indulge in nostalgia for the dinosaur era."

  Xí Bīn listened to Xiào's laughter, and the two of them walked into the second photography studio. This was a period martial arts film set in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and the director had designed a scene where a shaman from the Jin State would preside over a ritual worshiping Wányán āgǔdǎ. In order to achieve an ancient flavor, Xí Bīn borrowed a "large wheel of dharma" from a nearby lama temple.

  The Great Wheel of Rebirth is a Buddhist treasure, said to have been used by the Buddha himself to enlighten his deluded disciples, allowing them to experience hundreds and thousands of years of birth and death in an instant, ultimately leading to great enlightenment. This is just a legend, but this thing is indeed very old, so Shi Bin was worried that someone would damage it, repeatedly instructing the crew to hang it securely.

  Two people walked into the studio and saw that the huge wheel of fortune had been steadily suspended in mid-air by three steel cables.

  Xī Bīn smiled and said: "You call that talented? Look at the script you wrote, famous courtesan Li Shishi is a descendant of Ci Hang Jing Zhai, Jin Guo's fourth prince Wanyan Wuzhu is a master of the Yin Kui sect, this is too far-fetched!"

  He rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "Nonsense. I'd like to write a decent script, would you invest in it? In that movie starring Fan Wei, a broken plastic shell was sold for 2 million pounds. Has the rich guy's brain been kicked by a donkey or something? And in that currently popular historical epic, Comrade Cao A'Dun, who is supposed to be a brilliant military strategist, actually halted his army because Xiao Qiao was performing a tea ceremony. Is that possible? The audience is still enjoying it, I've seen through all this. You'd better put your energy into creating something entertaining that makes the audience laugh, rather than trying to create something serious and authentic. Who takes plot content seriously anymore?"

  As soon as he mentioned Huai Cai, he couldn't help but think of the beautiful woman*, Guan Da Caizi sighed and couldn't stop, Xi Bin put his arm around his shoulder and smiled lewdly: "Alright, let's not talk about that useless stuff, I'm tired of eating boxed lunches on set, how about we go out to eat later? Tonight, let's call two ladies to relax..."

  He was taken aback and his spirit lifted, he hastily asked: "Are you treating?"

  "Of course."

  "Let's just call it two then."

  "Are you okay? I'm not bragging, I have a martial arts background, my body is great, being a Casanova for one night is no problem, but with your body always leaning forward and typing, that waist power...... hehe...... hehe......"

  Guān Yú also revealed a lewd smile: "Me, I don't have as many times as you, one night is just once, once is just one night, hahaha..."

  Two lewd guys were talking about women with flying eyebrows and colors, self-boasting and having a great time. Probably the old heaven also couldn't bear to look at it, just heard a "crash" sound on top of their heads, Xi Bin subconsciously looked up and let out a shout: "Damn!"

  Only the heavy big wheel suddenly broke a steel wire, swayed twice, and then "crashed" twice, heavily falling down.

  Xí Bīn dodged and weaved but was too late, his forehead heavily colliding with the large wheel's edge, instantly covering his face in blood as he fell backwards. Guān Yú followed close behind him, and when Xí Bīn fell back, he knocked Guān Yú to the ground first. Fortunately, there were still some objects on the surrounding ground, so the large wheel did not crush them flat.

  Xī Bīn was covered in blood, unconscious and unaware of his surroundings. Guān Yú saw him and his soul flew out of his body. He shouted loudly for help while desperately trying to hold up the giant wheel with all his might. Unknowingly, he triggered something, and the giant wheel suddenly emitted a dazzling white light that made his eyebrows ache.

  Dazzling white light filled the entire studio, and when Guan Yu opened his eyes again, he saw that Xi Bin's breath had stopped, his body limp and soft. The mysterious strong light was also gone, and he couldn't help but scream: "Save me!!"
