Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 300 My life has been like walking on thin ice!

The next day, upon arriving at the film set, Zhou Yang noticed that Nazar seemed to be looking at him with displeasure.

"Perhaps she wasn't satisfied with my guidance yesterday?" Zhou Yang thought to himself.

Although he tried his best to guide Zhou Yang and did not show any clumsiness, Zhou Yang began to doubt whether he was lacking in something.

However, Zhou Yang had no time to guess what Nazar was thinking; he was fully focused on the intense filming work.

The first scene today is about Pang Qingyun and his two companions deciding to surrender to the imperial court and requesting the three leaders to provide them with soldiers and food.

This scene was filmed in an ancient southern courtyard-style building with a central atrium. To create the atmosphere of rain, Chen Kexing specially arranged for rain-making equipment.

Once everyone was ready, Chen Kexing raised the megaphone and said:
"Act 5 of 'The Warlords,' Shot 2! Action!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yang immediately got into character, and the camera followed him closely, giving him a special close-up shot.

He stared intently ahead, his facial muscles tense, revealing Pang Qingyun's determination and resolve at that moment.

The scene shifts to Lord Di, Lord Jiang, and Lord Chen, three shrewd and calculating figures, standing deep within the courtyard, gazing at Pang Qingyun and his companions.

Because of their lowly status, Pang Qingyun and his two companions could only kneel and grovel before these three powerful and influential figures.

After a moment, Lord Chen stared at Pang Qingyun and finally spoke: "Tell me, you led a force to ambush the Taiping Army in Hechuan, and the entire army was wiped out. You disappeared for two months, how dare you come back?!"

Pang Qingyun suppressed his anger and said frankly, "My lord, in the battle of Hechuan, Lord Jiang sent the Kui Battalion to guard my left flank. He Kui retreated thirty miles at the critical moment! My comrades in the first battalion died right before my eyes!"

Lord Jiang was furious at Pang Qingyun's attempt to shirk responsibility: "The entire army was wiped out, and you're the only survivor?"

"I will definitely survive and come back to see you, Lord Jiang!" Zhou Yang said through gritted teeth.

The staff around him murmured their admiration for this detail.

"This detail is handled so well! Truly a movie star!"

"Yes, it successfully expressed Pang Qingyun's suppressed anger."

"Few people can capture facial details like him, he's amazing!"

"Movie superstars are just different; you can tell from the start!"

"..."

Filming was still in progress when Judge Dee suddenly changed the subject: "How many of you are there?"

Pang Qingyun's friend, Lao Hu, playing the role of Zhao Erhu, hurriedly answered loudly:
"There are eight hundred of us in total!"

Hahaha……

Upon hearing that there were only eight hundred people, the three adults couldn't help but burst into laughter, mocking the three men's arrogance and ignorance.

Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang were immediately confused, not understanding what these adults were laughing about, because eight hundred people already represented all the young people in their village.

Only Pang Qingyun's eyes grew colder: "Give me another eight hundred men, and I will take Shucheng within fifteen days!"

Lord Jiang said with a cold gaze, "There is no joking in the army!"

"Ten days!"

"Shucheng was captured in ten days!"

Pang Qingyun resolutely decided to take a desperate gamble!
Zhao Erhu and Jiang Wuyang were both shocked by Pang Qingyun's plan, never imagining he would make such a decision!
The three officials were all stunned, clearly not expecting Pang Qingyun to have such confidence. With trembling hands, Chen Gong made his decision: "I can provide another 1,500 soldiers, but without pay."

"Ah!" Zhao Erhu immediately roared in dissatisfaction.

Without military pay, how can we fight a war? Wouldn't the soldiers who sacrifice their lives be sacrificing themselves in vain? They wouldn't even receive any compensation.

“No military pay needed!” Pang Qingyun said coldly. “Once we capture Shucheng, half of the spoils will be ours!” “Click! Perfect!”

I'm scared! I'm scared! I'm scared!!!
The applause was deafening; the performance had been absolutely perfect.

Especially in the details, Zhou Yang simply surpasses everyone else.

Just as Zhou Yang was about to get up, he suddenly felt a sharp pain and numbness in his knee, and was unable to stand up.

Lao Hu and Zhu Yawen, who were standing nearby, had difficulty getting up. They had been kneeling for too long and their knees were uncomfortable, but they hadn't put on any pads.

The director quickly ordered the staff to help Zhou Yang and the other two up.

"That's true professionalism!" the director exclaimed with admiration.

“That’s right, if it were a young actor, they would definitely wear ten layers of padding!” another person added.

"Haha, young actors use body doubles for long shots, so how could they possibly kneel for close-ups while sitting?" someone mocked.

"Zhou Yang's acting skills are truly amazing, his control over the details is so precise!" someone exclaimed in amazement.

"Yes, even though Lao Hu and Zhu Yawen are very outstanding, they were completely overwhelmed by his aura. It's really terrifying!" Everyone discussed among themselves.

"..."

After a short break, the camera resumed filming.

In this scene, Zhou Yang, who plays Pang Qingyun, faces new challenges and choices after capturing Nanjing.

Empress Dowager Cixi privately instructed him to deal with Zhao Erhu, her sworn brother with whom she had shared life and death.

Pang Qingyun stepped onto the thin layer of ice alone, and his inner thoughts began to unfold.

The production team originally planned to use special effects, but in order to increase the realism of the scene, Zhou Yang insisted on creating an artificial ice layer on the lake, successfully persuading Chen Kexing.

The cost is very high, and the ice could melt at any time, so Zhou Yang doesn't have much time; he only has one chance.

Several lifeguards were specially hired on site, just in case Zhou Yang fell into the water and could be rescued in time.

Once everything was ready, director Chen Kexing immediately announced: "The Warlords, Act 8, Shot 3! Action!!"

At a command, the camera focused on Zhou Yang, who carefully walked on the fragile ice, each step accompanied by the sound of the ice cracking.

Click! Click! Click!

The surrounding actors and staff were extremely nervous, especially Nazar, whose heart was in his throat. He kept silently praying that Zhou Yang would be safe and sound.

On the lake, Pang Qingyun's trusted aide shouted anxiously, "My lord, danger!"

With his back to the camera, Pang Qingyun said in a low voice, "My life is like walking on thin ice. Do you think I can cross the river smoothly?"

After speaking, Pang Qingyun turned his head, and the determined expression on his face showed that he had made up his mind!

"Click, perfect!"

As soon as Chen Kexing finished speaking, Zhou Yang quickly left the ice and returned to the shore, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Nazar nervously walked to Zhou Yang's side, his face full of fear, and said, "You scared me to death just now, the ice was cracking."

"I laughed, it seems I need to lose weight," Zhou Yang joked.

The staff members all gave him a thumbs up in admiration: "He is so dedicated! In the entire entertainment industry, there is probably no one more dedicated than Zhou Yang!"
