He got this role by asking the boss for it. If he doesn't perform well, how can he face others to fight for roles in the future? How can the boss trust him anymore?

He was determined to outshine that pretty boy Jiang Muyang!

Yu Liang gritted his teeth and endured the pain of being thrown and hit until the filming ended.

Nie Jinlong arranged a very difficult action scene for Yuan An'er, which required her to hold onto a fixed iron pipe in the air, spin around, and then fly out to kick Yu Liang.

Yuan An'er did a great job, getting it right on the first try, but Yu Liang didn't quite do so well. Even with his chest protected, the force of Yuan An'er's flying kick meant the camera had to wait until she was close before faking the kick to look realistic in the long shot.

He felt a dull ache in his chest, then a close-up shot followed, a close-up of Yuan An'er kicking his chest, and then he was kicked again.

After filming, he rubbed his chest, took off his protective gear, and exclaimed how close he had come to fame: "It's really not easy to become famous. It's not as good as Jiang Muyang, that pretty boy, just showing his face."

Next, Yuan An'er will use her arms to grab Yu Liang's neck, pull him, grab the banner, jump off the building, and then throw him off from mid-air.

The crew laid out protective measures at the bottom, but even so, Yu Liang almost broke his bones from the fall. His neck was even more painful; he nearly suffocated.

Fortunately, filming is finally over, and all was well.

Yu Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, only one group is left.

Seeing everyone working so hard, Yilan felt immense pressure and even doubted her own ability to succeed. But then she thought about how, out of all the artists in the company, she was the only one chosen by the boss and given special support, and she steeled herself: she had to do it, no matter what.

However, she did not act rashly. Instead, she communicated with her co-star Marco and rehearsed several times how to fight and how to fall, in order to minimize NGs.

The more takes you have to do in action scenes, the more you suffer.

Fortunately, action choreographer Nie Jinlong knew that Yilan's martial arts skills were lacking, so he put the more difficult scenes on Ma Ke, who played Cat Brother's henchman, nicknamed "Beggar Boy." This character also had a real-life counterpart; his parents died early, and he begged for food as a child, which is why the Sanren Gang gave him the nickname "Beggar Boy."

The real-life inspiration for the beggar boy died two years ago in a shootout between the San Ren Society and other gangs.

When Yilan performed her movements, she was agile and light. Based on her characteristics and to make up for the fact that she was not from a martial arts background, Nie Jinlong designed the action scenes for Yilan to be a kind of fighting style that used shopping mall goods, with the main focus on humor and comedy.

Ilan makes extensive use of props to outmaneuver Marco, crawling under various objects such as tables and shelves, or jumping onto a toy car and driving around aimlessly. Combined with Marco's clumsy performance, making him look like a fool being played around, this action scene is full of comedic effect.

This action scene was relatively easy to film, but it was expensive because many props were damaged.

After the three action scenes were filmed, it was Hu Xiaoxiao's turn to take the stage.

Before filming began, Nie Jinlong reiterated a few points to note to Hu Xiaoxiao and called Zhang Xingfa over to instruct him to work well with Hu Xiaoxiao.

According to the plot, Armin is a skilled fighter, and Arya is not very good at subduing him. Just as Armin is about to escape from the mall, Madam Cloud arrives in time and immediately uses a deadly scissor kick to knock Armin to the ground, rendering him unable to fight.

The deadly scissor kick utilizes the strength of the legs and waist to subdue enemies; it is extremely difficult to execute and possesses tremendous destructive power.

Nie Jinlong's design for Hu Xiaoxiao was still a flying, deadly scissor kick, which twisted Zhang Xingfa, who was running, and sent him crashing to the ground.

This move is extremely dangerous; if not done properly, it can be fatal.

Because the human neck is very fragile, if you are not careful or do not use the right force, you could break Zhang Xingfa's neck and cause a death while filming.

But this move looks very good on camera and is highly entertaining.

Nie Jinlong had long wanted to use this technique in a movie, but he had never dared to, fearing that the other actors might not perform well or cooperate properly, which could lead to someone's death.

He trusted Hu Xiaoxiao implicitly, believing her to be the only actress who could execute his move perfectly without making a mistake.

"Ah Fa, when Xiao Xiao flies up and grabs your neck, you need to cooperate well..." Nie Jinlong explained to Zhang Xingfa in detail how he should cooperate with Hu Xiao Xiao and protect his neck.

After he finished speaking, he gave Hu Xiaoxiao a few more instructions, telling her to be careful and not to actually strangle the person.

After listening, Hu Xiaoxiao said no problem, "I will pay attention, Afa. When I do this move, you need to relax. I can use my strength to flip you to the ground."

After demonstrating her power to Zhang Xingfa, Hu Xiaoxiao told him that he could entrust his power to her with complete trust.

Zhang Xingfa agreed. Besides trusting Nie Jinlong and Hu Xiaoxiao, he also agreed that the film was extremely dangerous, so he was paid a very high salary.

The wages of avarice is death.

After we reached an agreement, we started filming immediately.

After the director yelled "Action!", Amin jumped to the first floor and ran towards the mall entrance.

At this moment, Yunxiao suddenly appeared, leaped up, and clamped his legs around Amin's neck in a scissor shape. With a twist, he used his waist strength to flip Amin to the ground, pressing his scissor legs firmly against Amin's vitals, preventing him from turning over and rendering him unable to fight.

Arya rushed over, took out handcuffs, and captured Armin.

After capturing Amin, Yunxiao used tables and shelves to leap upstairs with fluid movements, as smooth as flowing water. Even though he was only wearing ordinary sportswear, his agile and neat figure made the scene look high-end.

With Yunxiao's help, Wendy quickly handcuffed the beggar boy.

Unexpectedly, Zeng Lin took advantage of Daisy's inattention and escaped from the mall to inform Cat Brother.

The scene at the shopping mall was finally filmed, and it was only 3 a.m. Hu Xiaoxiao checked the time and said to everyone, "Let's all pack up our things, and then I'll treat everyone to a late-night snack and breakfast."

At this point, it's not like you've just finished a late-night snack and it's time for breakfast.

A modified heavy motorcycle passed by and stopped. The man with tattooed arms looked up and saw the lights in the mall. He asked the person behind him.

"Is the mall still open at this hour?"

The motorcycles behind stopped, looked up and said to the man, "Brother Ying, I heard that Shengshi Entertainment has rented space in the mall to film a movie."

"Shengshi Entertainment? Huang Yuliang? Hu Xiaoxiao? I heard they've been making quite a splash lately?" The tattooed man narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the mall lights with a cold glint in his eyes.

Posture: Impressive, majestic, and grand.

"That's right, they're rich and have land now, they're all smug," a few henchmen said dismissively.

The tattooed man glanced at the motorcycle for a few moments, then sneered, restarted it, and drove off, with his henchmen quickly following.
