Chapter 198
This was the general gist of the story . The script only had a small extracted scene . As a scout, Hua Mulan and her comrade-in-arms probed the Helan Mountains and ended up encountering refugees that were attempting to run to the south from the north but they were being pursued by the Rouran tribe . In order to facilitate the retreat of the villagers, Hua Mulan fought valiantly in battle with the soldiers . The Rouran tribesmen fought the soldiers to a mutually destructive outcome . The heavily injured Hua Mulan fainted .
A monk who lived in a nearby monastery heard the battle cries and rushed over . After hearing the villagers recount the situation, he felt touched . When he came to the battlefield, he was too late . Everyone was dead . He looked at the corpses strewn on the ground and felt dreary and depressed . He recited funeral rite sutras and at the same time, interred the corpses . He eventually realized that Hua Mulan was alive and brought her back to the monastery for treatment .
The story was short and today's main scene was that of the corpse-strewn land . It was the process of him approaching the soldiers to inter them . There were was almost nothing for him to say .
After Fangzheng finished reading, he heaved a sigh of relief . He finally had a general understanding of the story . At the same time, he knew what he had to do . He could still act in such a simple plot . If he really had dialog, he would be in anguish . He would have no idea how to act .
This was also because Fangzheng did not know acting . The scene appeared simple but the tragedy contained within it was no trifling matter . To bemoan the times and pity people while sending the dead off in pain was the difficult thing about bringing the role of the accomplished monk to life . If not, Yu Guanze would not have sought out a veteran . He had only used Fangzheng because he was out of options . . .
There was the advantage of ignorance . Fangzheng was relaxed and not nervous at all . He chuckled as he watched everything happen before him .
At that moment, the props team brought him a tattered Kasaya and a wooden fish . Fangzheng struck it . Although the sound was not right, it could barely be used . As for the tattered Kasaya, Fangzheng wore it directly over the White Lunar Monk Robe . There was still a strange smell from the clothes but Fangzheng could only put up with it . He chuckled as he played with the Buddha beads he received .
Zhao Hongxiang and Hu Xiao saw this scene as they shook their heads once again . Despite it being a critical moment, Fangzheng was still not thinking or trying to understand the film . He even ran around to watch the bustle . He was hopeless!
The morning quickly passed . The villagers finally understood what they had to do under the director's instructions . They were exhausted but remained excited .
Yu Guanze was impressed by the villagers . If they were typical veteran extras, they would have long since taken it easy . Although the villagers voiced their tiredness, they would become serious and solemn once the rehearsals began .
With everything set, Yu Guanze gathered them and yelled out, "Everyone, take your spots . Let's do one take . I want to see the effect!"
With each person taking their spot, the lights and audio were ready .
The extras stood ready as the actors acting as villagers prepared to run . The actors acting as soldiers prepared to die . The actors acting as Rouran soldiers hid far away, prepared to charge forward at anytime .
At that moment, with a loud exclamation, everyone turned subconsciously towards the voice . They saw a woman with a man's hairstyle . Li Xueying had appeared in soldier armor .
Fangzheng looked over curiously . He wanted to know the difference between a star and an ordinary person . When he looked, he was taken aback .
Just a look and Fangzheng felt that he had seen another person . She looked like a recruit that knew nothing . She was a girl with a heart filled with fear and anxiousness . She did not know what lay ahead of her but still gritted her teeth . She was a frail yet powerful woman . Just a look made the name flash in Fangzheng's mind—Hua Mulan!
If Hua Mulan story was true then she would have looked the same!
Fangzheng was impressed . It was no wonder she had such accomplishments . Her acting technique was impressive . Although one knew it was fake, one could not help think of her as the real deal .
