BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1120 - A Fantastic Movie!
Numerous black shadows flashed out of the forest. Their movements were extremely co-ordinated as if they were top killers who treated killing as an art. The edges of their one-meter-long swords could even cut off the dewdrops falling from the treetops.
From an incomparably tricky angle, they charged toward Zhu Zhangyuan.
“Protect the Emperor!”
An angry roar was heard.
The people who had been standing near Zhu Zhangyuan immediately pulled out their swords hanging at their waists and surrounded him. When a commander quickly came forward to protect him, these people immediately rushed forward to fight with those men in black.
During the course of this fast and furious battle, bodies constantly flew into the sky and sometimes burrowed into the ground!
These wonderful fighting scenes mesmerized the audience.
“Wow.”
“Their actions are so straightforward.”
“It’s too cool. This is the real battle of martial arts.”
“Oh my God! This is merely the first scene. The assassination scene is already the high point of the story. What would the following scenes be like when the first scene is already so perfect?”
“It seems that it’s a right decision to toggle between the two scenes; the action scene caused quite a stir before.”
“I’ve never seen such a smooth action scene before. So many movements are shown non-stop from beginning to end. Everything looks so cool and perfect.”
The movie critics nodded in unison.
Although the movie had just begun, the first episode of the martial arts show had already gained their attention.
They turned around and found that apart from them, the celebrities, fans, and the main production team were all deeply captivated by this wonderful show.
Their reaction proved that the battle scene was indeed mesmerizing.
On the big screen, the assassin in black was chasing Zhu Zhangyuan from the surface of the lake to the mountain.
There were a lot of fight scenes, and they moved a long distance while fighting.
However, the audience did not feel bored at all. On the contrary, they felt that they could not get enough of it.
With the director’s shooting style and the team’s editing skills, the fighting scene gradually blurred, and the camera focused on Zhu Zhangyuan.
At this critical moment, Li Baoguo, the actor who played Zhu Zhangyuan, managed to demonstrate a series of expressions, ranging from panic to anger and then the anxiety of running for his life. Finally, his eyes lit up as a hint of cunning flashed across his face.
Under the camera shot, while the assassins were held back, Zhu Zhangyuan immediately ran up the mountain.
His escape attempt caught the attention of the assassins.
They angrily launched a series of strikes. The guards, who failed to ward off the blows, retreated repeatedly.
They ran for quite a long distance.
When nearly all the guards had been killed, Zhu Zhangyuan saw a thatched cottage halfway up the mountain and immediately ran over.
At this time, a boy who looked about 16 years old appeared. He was walking down the mountain with some firewood on his back and a machete in his hand.
Fang Qiu made his debut here.
Seeing him, everyone on the scene were not surprised at all.
It was because the appearance of this character was perfectly in line with the plot development. His appearance seemed expected. His clothes and his every slight movement were in sync with the current situation.
The movie critics were all surprised.
The others were still enjoying the movie with rapt attention.
The movie continued.
At this moment when Fang Qiu, who played Yang Yizhi, saw Zhu Zhangyuan, he immediately hid behind a big tree, but Zhu Zhangyuan had already spotted him.
The camera panned on Zhu Zhangyuan’s face.
His face was overwhelmed by disappointment when he saw that it was only a child. Mr. Li Baoguo did an excellent portrayal of someone having a nervous breakdown at this moment. Even his eyes were full of complicated emotions.
As if he understood Zhu Zhangyuan’s feelings, Yang Yizhi walked out from behind the tree and did not try to avoid him. Instead, Yang Yizhi gently gripped his machete and asked with a frown, “Who are you?”
“A businessman. Someone wanted to kill me, and they’re closing in on me. The bodyguards I hired were all killed by them.”
Zhu Zhangyuan said in a panic.
Though desperate, he would take any opportunity to survive, so he revealed his situation to the sixteen-year-old boy.
In that era, a sixteen-year-old boy was already considered a grown man who could take care of a family.
It was because people of that era were all very mature.
After all, it was during the period of war. People matured early and were also very rigorous!
After a brief exchange, Yang Yizhi allowed Zhu Zhangyuan to enter the thatched cottage to take refuge while he removed the burden on his back and walked toward the assassins in black with his machete.
There were altogether 18 assassins!
“Kill!”
Without showing any mercy, they killed the last guard. Then the18 assassins in black immediately rushed up.
The youth waved his hand.
The machete left his hand and flew to the person who was in the forefront. Then he moved and immediately rushed up to the person.
The scene was filled with the glint and flash of cold steel the next moment!
Like in the trailer, the young man fought against the 18 killers with his machete. The fight was extremely fierce. Finally, he managed to block the 18 killers.
During this period, Zhu Zhangyuan, who had hidden in the thatched cottage, climbed out through the window and fled to the mountain at the back. When he really couldn’t run any longer, he found a particularly deep bush to hide in and tried his best to calm his breathing.
During his escape, Zhu Zhangyuan underwent a lot of experiences and expressed various emotions. Mr. Li Baoguo’s performance was amazing!
“Well, this is the authentic chaotic world, and the logic is clear.”
“That’s right. In troubled times, a young man should know how to deal with war and killing, not to mention a young man who practices martial arts. Mr. Li Baoguo played Zhu Zhangyuan very well. Zhu Zhangyuan is not a hero who would risk his life for others but an indomitable, ambitious man. Therefore, to survive, he chose to sacrifice all his guards and even a young man’s life!”
“On the surface, it looks fairly good. When looking into those details, they appear reasonable and logical. This script is fabulous!”
The movie critics applauded it.
After watching the wonderful battle, the celebrities and fans came back to their senses, and they all admired Mr. Li Baoguo’s outstanding acting skills.
Seated in the first row, Mr. Li Baoguo barely noticed it at all. On the contrary, he was thinking about something while watching the movie. It seemed that he was thinking about how to better his performance and add more character to this role.
Seeing this, Fang Qiu couldn’t help sighing with emotion. “A prestigious old stager indeed. He is so dedicated!”
The audience, who had just come to their senses, was immediately drawn back to the movie at the next moment.
Everyone saw a sixth-class young man with extraordinary talent.
He was holding a single machete.
However, he never lost his ground even though he faced 18 assassins with long swords in their hands. Instead, he became progressively awesome.
The audience were enthralled by the movie’s action scenes.
Different from other martial arts movies, this kind of martial arts scene was not messy at all. Instead, it gave people a joyful feeling that every movement was highly worthwhile, which was a delight to watch.
Fang Qiu also acted very well.
When he fought against the 18 assassins, he did not seem to be flustered or nervous at all. On the contrary, he fought steadfastly against them . At a glance, he gave off the feeling that he was indeed an experienced warrior.
Whether in terms of movements, temperament, or details, he fully manifested the striking personality of a young man who had practiced hard for many years.
No one could find anything wrong with his performance; it was as if he was born for this role!
Because of this, the longer they watched the movie, the more fascinated they became.
It was a fierce battle that enthralled everyone. In this battle, Yang Yizhi, played by Fang Qiu, fought dauntlessly and slaughtered all the 18 assassins in black.
He launched his last strike, aiming at the last man in black who was trying to escape. His machete flew out of his hand and knocked him down to the ground. Fang Qiu’s expression fully displayed the drastic mental changes this young man underwent.
In the midst of the bloodshed, Yang Yizhi walked over, reached out his hands, and pulled out the machete which had lodged firmly into the ground. At that moment, the camera panned slowly from his feet upward and recorded the bloodstains all over his body. As it gradually angled toward his face, all the people watching the movie were astounded by his complicated expression.
His expression contained the kind of shock that could touch the soul.
He picked up the machete.
When the young man returned to the thatched cottage, he found no one.
He was furious.
He immediately went out to chase after the man on the run.
Before long, he found Zhu Zhangyuan hiding in the back mountain.
At first, when he heard footsteps, Zhu Zhangyuan was so scared that he trembled all over. He thought the killer had caught up with him, but when he saw the young man’s face and his bloodied clothes, he was dumbstruck.
Each small change of expression on his face was just spot on.
He stood up.
Knowing that he was safe, Zhu Zhangyuan immediately relaxed. However, he saw the unfriendly and even a little hostile look flit across the youth’s face.
“Ha-ha.”
He laughed and quickly cupped his fists to salute the young man. “Greetings, young hero! It seems that you have already dealt with those killers. What do you want from me for that?”
“Why don’t you come with me to do some business and I’ll help you make a big fortune? What do you think?”
The moment he heard this, the young man immediately shouted angrily., “Zhu Zhangyuan! You’ll soon become an emperor. Don’t you think it’s shameless to try and exploit a sixteen-year-old boy?”
His aggressive posture was just perfect.
Everyone present seeing this scene couldn’t help nodding with approval. Even Li Baoguo turned his head and cast Fang Qiu an approving look.
All the movie critics burst out laughing.
Initially, they thought Fang Qiu, a new actor, couldn’t interpret the role well. But now, it seemed that Fang Qiu’s acting skills were pretty good.
On the big screen, the movie went on.
Yang Yizhi, played by Fang Qiu, and Zhu Zhangyuan, played by Li Baoguo, were officially like acting rivals in this show.
This scene immediately attracted everyone’s attention. They wanted to see Fang Qiu’s performance when he faced Li Baoguo, an experienced actor.
When the scene was over, everyone couldn’t help exclaiming.
Fang Qiu was very good in his part. When he acted face-to-face with Li Baoguo, his performance didn’t seem to be suppressed at all. On the contrary, his acting was as outstanding as Li Baoguo’s. This scene completely highlighted the protagonist and pushed Li Baoguo, a master in acting, to the second place among these two male actors.
The crowd was amazed. “Fang Qiu has a talent for acting!”
On the big screen, after the face-to-face scene, Yang Yizhi turned around and was about to leave.
Zhu Zhangyuan looked hesitant.
“Wait.”
Zhu Zhangyuan shouted, “You’re a very capable person, so please send me back. If you finish this task, I’ll give you as much money as you want!”
“Money?”
The youth stopped in his tracks and said, “I saved you to ensure the world’s peace.”
“My master said that a young man should travel around in Jianghu, and a hero should serve people in the imperial court. I will send you back if you are there for the people!”
