The Whole Empire Raises Me

Chapter 72

Views:

The main star of the orcs.

"Ahhh!!!"

Zai Zai's animal ears are already very cute, and for the parents of the Beastman family, this meaning is even more special.

How should I put it, there is a particularly close sense of belonging, as if the cubs have really become the little guys of their clan, they can grow up under their care since they were young, and they can even lick the cubs and scratch their ears …

However, it is obvious that the parents will not be so easily satisfied, the reason is that someone said casually:

"These are arctic fox ears, big and furry."

The tavern fell silent for a moment.

The speaker, apparently, was an arctic fox orc. She lifted her ears very proudly and wagged her tail behind her, very proud of it.

The rest of the orc parents: "... t-t--"

A few glasses of wine were poisoned, and after a while, other voices sounded unconvinced:

"It seems that some foxes started to get drunk without drinking, haha, I suggest you check their brains."

"Laughing to death, obviously it belongs to our cat family, Your Majesty is so cute."

"... Snow Wolf!! Aww!!!"

"It's us-"

The quarrel quickly turned into a fight, and just when it was about to further escalate into a weapon fight, the orcs suddenly remembered something, and each was punished with three cups, and stopped in a muffled voice.

Shortly after.

The door of the tavern suddenly opened wide to both sides, the orc patriarch walked in with long strides, the hood slipped back, revealing a handsome face. He put the dagger on the table casually, and the bartender came over: "What would you like to drink?"

"No, I want to quit drinking," the patriarch said, suddenly remembering that it had been a full fifty-five days since they last saw Zai Zai, and immediately sulked, "...two glasses of vodka."

Only fifty-five days.

It has been fifty-five days.

The capital, the filming site of "Dust Planet".

The world of "Dust Planet" is set in the future era, and the protagonist Xia Huai's initial living environment is in chaotic streets, slums and garbage dumps, so the whole setting has a bit of cyberpunk flavor.

Moreover, Xia Huai, who was once a proud son of heaven and a star of the Empire, fell into a slum, like everyone who has been devastated by misfortunes, drinks heavily. No matter what age, alcohol is the coward's best fantasy agent.

Many plots in the early stage took place in underground taverns and even back alleys, and the light and shadow are also darker, giving it a blurred and old-fashioned feeling.

And there is another part of it, the protagonist Xia Huai bet with someone in an underground tavern, and the other party cheated and asked him to wear the gun on his waist. It was the gun that accompanied Xia Huai in battle for decades. The gun body had dark silver rose patterns, and it was the only witness of his past glory.

That was the first time Xia Huai showed his edge in the movie. He disassembled the gun into a pile of parts in three seconds, put it in a wine glass, and sprinkled it over the opponent's head. This plot not only shows Xia Huai's stubborn arrogance, but also means that he has completely broken with his past glory and no longer has any unrealistic fantasies.

A close-up of this shot is like taking the decades of military career, all the days that have passed by, tearing off the medals on the shoulders, smashing them into pieces, throwing them into the wine glass, and throwing them all in the sky. There are tens of thousands of meters underground.

—Because of such an obviously provocative behavior, the other party immediately became furious, and fought with Xia Huai, a group fight broke out. The scene was extremely chaotic, the owner of the tavern sent mad dogs to drive people away, and it was precisely this time that the bionic man came to the tavern to look for Xia Huai...

— Originally there was no dismantling of the gun, but the director and Wen Xingze discussed it before adding it. Wen Xingze's knowledge of firearms, which he specially supplemented when preparing "Dust Planet", is now in use, and he can get started immediately after the technical guidance and demonstration twice.

Wen Xingze's fingers are slender and fair. He practiced hard for two months to play Xia Huai, and a thin layer of spear calluses appeared on his fingertips.

He just pulled up the corners of his lips, biting the lollipop, and the movements between his fingers seemed to be randomly playing with some artwork and showing off his skills.

Wen Xingze just disassembled the gun into parts, sprinkled it carelessly, and then smiled at the star thief's eyes turned from embarrassment to anger, and then burst into laughter!

The whole picture is captured meticulously by the lens, and the effect presented on the screen is almost thrilling.

The color of his pupils was alienated and indifferent, with a faint brilliance, and when he laughed like that, there was a kind of dramatic tension, ironic, self-deprecating, and complacent... He really played the down-and-out but arrogant, supercilious Xia Huai!

Crazy and cool.

The whole set was immersed in that atmosphere, until the director first came back to his senses and called out the card.

It's all over again!

"Okay, okay!" Li Mingzhou couldn't help admiring again and again, and had to admit that Wen Xingze did have talent and concentration that ordinary people couldn't match, "...my vision has been as good as it has been for decades. .”

Everyone: "..."

As expected of Director Li, he is really a talking artist, and his emotional intelligence is not too high at first glance.

Although what he said was correct, he had discovered Chi Yan a few years ago, and now he picked Wen Xingze with a single glance, Li Mingzhou's vision has been the same for ten years.

The makeup artist quickly stepped forward to touch up the makeup of the actors, but Wen Xingze was skipped as expected.

"Okay, let's move on to the next one!" Without any delay, after Li Mingzhou finished speaking, the staff brought out the pitbull who played the role of a mad dog in friendship.

"The actor of the bionic man hasn't arrived yet. If he doesn't arrive in the morning, we'll have lunch first after filming."

Pitbulls are a banned dog breed in China. The birth of bulldogs makes them naturally competitive, fierce, and aggressive, and their appearance is also first-class ferocious, full of threat effect.

Of course, the pitbull in front of him is well-trained and is a veteran actor in the pet world. If he wants to be fierce, he can be fierce, but he will never really hurt or bite.

The dog trainer led it out and gave a signal, and the Pitbull immediately lowered its body, stared fiercely at it, and made a warning from its throat:

"Aww - woof woof!!!"

"a!"

As soon as the voice fell, Pitbull rushed into the crowd. The extras fled in panic, screaming, shoving, and roaring. The chaotic lights of the underground tavern flickered with the disco music, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Director Li nodded in satisfaction.

However, the accident happened in an instant.

"Wow-woof-woof..."

The 'Mad Dog' Pitbull charged aggressively at the beginning, but suddenly, as if being strangled by the neck out of thin air, it started to brake urgently halfway, and then slowed down with the remaining strength.

In the end, it came to Wen Xingze, rolled over... and coquettishly exposed its belly.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

As if worried that showing his belly wasn't enough, Pitbull thought for a while, then spread out his pink meat pads, his tail wagging happily, as if he had met an idol.

Even the ferocious wailing sound has turned into a buzzing sound.

Wen Xingze: "?"

director:"???"

In the blink of an eye, Wen Xingze once again remembered the fear of being dominated by the beast's ears.

That's right, at noon on the first day before the machine was started, a pair of white ears suddenly grew on the top of Wen Xingze's head! He closed himself immediately at that time. Fortunately, his ears didn't grow for long, and he retreated by himself.

It is the effect of activating the orc filter.

Apparently the filter disorder debuff is still going on.

And after that, the ears would pop out from time to time, but luckily nothing has gone wrong so far. just now... uh...

"Ca," the situation changed, Li Mingzhou had to yell "Ca", but he didn't expect it to be because of this reason, "What's going on?"

The dog trainer was also very puzzled, and everyone gathered together to discuss for a while, and re-shot again, but the situation remained unchanged. As soon as the Pitbull got close to Wen Xingze, it became completely invincible. No matter how the dog trainer signaled, the Pitbull always looked happy, obedient and docile.

Wen Xingze secretly ate an extra lollipop and quickly threw the stick away, but the pitbull rushed to the trash can, picked up the stick and sent it back to Wen Xingze, wailing for credit.

The director looked over reproachfully.

"... Be good." Wen Xingze touched Pitbull's head, the child was hopeless.

"There's no way to shoot this," the assistant director was embarrassed, "Change to a dog? What if it doesn't work?"

Their time is more than enough, but it is not good to delay too long in this scene.

But everyone didn't frown for a long time, and soon, the problems that everyone worried about were no longer a problem.

Wen Xingze held the script and was thinking about how to solve it with everyone. But at this moment Li Mingzhou suddenly looked behind him, Wen Xingze heard gasps, and the surroundings fell into a familiar silence.

Then came Li Mingzhou's very surprised voice:

"Come on, we'll be waiting for you..."

At the same time, the pitbull who was sticking to Wen Xingze's cute and coquettish behavior suddenly rolled over, changed his face like turning over a book, and barked ferociously in the direction behind Wen Xingze!

"...Chi Yingdi." Li Mingzhou added the second half of the sentence, which can be regarded as a brief introduction.

Wen Xingze: "..."

The person behind him was silent for a moment, then hummed coldly.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Chi Yan said.

"Aww!!" Pitbull said.

"..."

Pitbull's attitude towards Wen Xingze and Chi Yan is like heaven and earth.

But thanks to this, with the help of Chi Yan, this scene finally lived up to everyone's expectations...

Although the bionic man in "Dust Planet" is the main character, there are not many actual scenes, mainly in the early stage, and more as a soul clue.

And Chi Yan played this bionic person... he really acted in his true colors in various senses, and Wen Xingze was convinced.

Didn't he have something to do in that universe! Why are you still free to come back to filming

Before shooting in the afternoon, the dressing room.

"The matter over there has not been resolved, and we can only stay for a short time." Chi Yan's answer was very official, as if answering a reporter's question, "I want to play this role, and I agreed to Director Li."

Wen Xingze: "Has nothing to do with me?"

Chi Yan stopped talking.

Wen Xingze was a little angry: "... oh."

Wen Xingze took a glass of water, turned around and walked out, feeling rather boring. Some people came back to eat breakfast after so long without hearing from them, and they didn't tell him that they were going to play Dust Planet. He came back suddenly, and he knew it later than Li Mingzhou.

There is no such thing as falling in love, but filming is still interesting.

Twist the doorknob of the powder room, it won't open. Wen Xingze didn't want to turn around, staring at the doorknob, the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became.

It was snowing outside the window, and the clock on the wall was ticking away, and the time passed by every minute.

One, two, three... Five seconds later, someone hesitantly reached out and touched the back of Wen Xingze's neck. A little itchy.

With the moist breath of pine wood and spring snow on his body, he leaned over cautiously and tentatively.

On Wen Xingze's bare, snow-white skin on the back of his neck, he drew a little man holding a white flag of surrender.

Wen Xingze: "..."

Wen Xingze: "???"

How can there be such a thing!

Wen Xingze turned around, and was immediately hugged by Chi Yan.

"Tomorrow is the 25th," Chi Yan paused, then said, "My... birthday."

Of course the androids don't care about their own birthday, after all, it's just the date of manufacture, and no one will celebrate their birthday, and December 25th isn't even the date of manufacture.

But Chi Yan cares, because many years ago, his little king said 'Happy Birthday' to him.

So even if there are so many unresolved things, even if you haven't closed your eyes and rested for more than 70 hours, you have to rush back.

"...how could it have nothing to do with you?"

At the end of this sentence, there is a little bit of grievance that cannot be traced.

"..."

Nothing to say.

Wen Xingze had no choice but to kiss him immediately.
