Chapter 160: Jiang Sui Truly Possesses Martial Arts Skills

Ji Chuan had just stepped out of his room when he saw the two of them in the living room, acting clingy yet bickering at the same time. He silently retreated back inside.

Returning to his room, he looked at the books on his desk, walked over, and began to read.

He had wanted to say that he saw Lu Xuanxuan at school today.

Lu Xuanxuan had ignored him, yet turned around to greet Nan Yu.

He was very unhappy.

Lu Xuanxuan was in the first grade, while he and Nan Yu were in the third.

He knew that many children at school liked him, especially the girls. So, as long as he showed that he didn't like Lu Xuanxuan, they probably wouldn't play with her either.

He knew that children could be exclusionary too.

His father did the same thing to those in the entertainment industry who hated his mother.

So, he wasn't doing anything wrong, right?

Jiang Sui’s time on set ended quickly; after all, she didn’t have many scenes to begin with.

Yet, her acting skills and prowess were beyond what words like "astonishing" could describe, leaving all the actors and crew members in awe.

Every time Jiang Sui began to film, nearly the entire crew would run over to watch. Occasionally, even people from neighboring sets would flock over, erupting in gasps and exclamations.

"Holy crap! She can ride a horse! Her horsemanship is actually that exquisite!"

"Oh my god, can she actually fly? These wires are clearly restricting her performance!"

"Heavens, what kind of divine beauty is this? How does she have no bad angles at all!"

"A warrior-actress! Wow, there’s actually a real warrior-actress in the industry! Jiang Sui truly has martial arts skills!"

"It’s over, if foreigners see this, we won't be able to explain it—she really can fly!"

"She’s doing it herself! No stunt double! How professional!"

"God, seeing Jiang Sui so professional and focused, I truly feel ashamed of myself!"

...

This became a daily occurrence whenever Jiang Sui was filming.

Even many actors became her fanboys and fangirls on the spot, some even wanting to ask her for tips on fight choreography.

This forced Director Lin to grab a megaphone and shout on set every time: "Hey, actors from the palace drama group next door! Your director is calling you back to work!"

"Actors from the war drama group, your lunch boxes have arrived!"

"Please remain quiet, everyone! Don't get too excited! Stop saying 'holy crap'—we’re trying to record audio here!"

"If you don't quiet down, I’m going to have your directors come and collect you!"

...

At first, Director Lin used the megaphone to shout, but later, he simply recorded it as a loop to play before every take.

Although Director Lin seemed annoyed, everyone on set knew he was bursting with pride. Every so often, he would secretly film snippets to send to other directors in the industry just to show off.

Situations where other crews gathered to watch were rare, and they were always signs of a future blockbuster.

Since even actors from other productions were drawn in, one could imagine how magnetic their own set had become.

Even the directors from neighboring sets would occasionally wander over and invite Jiang Sui to serve as an impromptu martial arts consultant.

Director Lin felt incredibly vindicated. He was so pleased that he would have loved to add more scenes for Jiang Sui, even if it meant paying her more!

But he was ruthlessly rejected by Jiang Sui.

Her role in this drama was already sufficient—well-rounded and concise. Adding more would just be excessive.

Besides—

Paying her more would just mean paying herself, wouldn't it?!

She was the primary investor behind this drama!

Jiang Sui’s acting prowess and her genuine skills left many actors feeling both envious and pressured.

Actors were so competitive these days! If they didn't work hard, they would be surpassed!

Moreover, seeing Jiang Sui’s performance was just so cool—who wouldn't be mesmerized?

Because of this, they all quietly began signing up for training classes. Those who had previously wanted to slack off suddenly found the motivation to work hard.
