Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 289 Slapping the Face of the Interstellar Director 2

The short drama that Leng Yuexing wants to create is set in his original world of cultivation.

The protagonist is his nemesis, Shangguan Huaigu. Although he dislikes Shangguan Huaigu's deadpan face, he has to admit that Shangguan Huaigu is the only person who can be called his opponent.

He had once watched Shangguan Huaigu select disciples at Lingxiao Sect, which left a deep impression on him, so he decided to turn that scene into a short drama.

The scene he chose for Jiang Yunsu was Shangguan Huaigu's personal disciple loudly requesting to become Shangguan Huaigu's disciple, and Shangguan Huaigu's series of reactions.

Leng Yuexing looked at the description of Shangguan Huaigu in front of him. His face was calm and expressionless. With a slight tremor of his sleeve, he flew forward and said in a deep voice: "If you want to become my disciple, you need to withstand my palm strike. If you don't die, you can become my personal disciple."

He still remembers being shocked for a long time after hearing that sentence.

To this day, he still doesn't know what Shangguan Huaigu's mindset was when he said those words.

Shangguan Huaigu actually wanted to make a disciple who had just joined the immortal sect take a palm strike from him.

I don't know if he was dissatisfied with that disciple, or if there was some other reason.

He was speechless at the thought of the disciple coughing up blood and being taken away by Shangguan Huaigu.

However, his short drama can't really be arranged like that. It would be better if the disciple actually took that blow and then joined the immortal sect.

Seeing that Jiang Yunsu had finished looking at the scene he had given her, Leng Yuexing asked, "Can we begin?"

Jiang Yunsu nodded slightly upon hearing this: "We can begin."

Leng Yuexing then pressed a button next to her to start the audition.

The next moment, Leng Yuexing noticed that Jiang Yunsu's expression had changed. His original gentle aura instantly turned cold, and his whole body was filled with an indescribable pressure.

Leng Yuexing raised an eyebrow. She hadn't expected that Jiang Yunsu could portray Shangguan Huaigu so convincingly after only reading a brief introduction. Leng Yuexing began to look forward to his performance.

To get Jiang Yunsu into character, Leng Yuexing imitated the disciple's tone and said, "True Lord Huaigu, this disciple wishes to become your disciple."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunsu looked up at Leng Yuexing, then gently flicked his sleeve and flew to Leng Yuexing's side. He said in a deep voice, "If you want to become my disciple, you need to withstand one of my palm strikes. If you survive, you can become my personal disciple."

His tone was calm and even, as if he were talking about something very ordinary, and not trying to make things difficult for the other person.

Leng Yuexing replied blankly, "Alright, this disciple is willing to bear the True Lord's palm strike!"

As Leng Yuexing finished speaking, Jiang Yunsu said something that wasn't written in the scene: "Very well, let's begin then."

After Jiang Yunsu finished speaking, his aura changed, returning to its previous gentle demeanor.

Leng Yuexing also realized that the person he had just seen was not the real Shangguan Huaigu, but the Shangguan Huaigu played by Jiang Yunsu.

"Are you satisfied?" Jiang Yunsu asked with a light smile.

Leng Yuexing paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright, you'll be playing Shangguan Huaigu. Please guide me for the next three days."

Jiang Yunsu nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "Thank you, Director Leng."

"I still need to choose the remaining roles. You can rest for a bit." After saying that, Leng Yuexing made a sofa and placed it next to Shangguan Huaigu, then turned and walked towards the actors behind her.

He also needs to select Shangguan Huaigu's disciples, as well as some other minor characters.

Jiang Yunsu was full of admiration when he saw how easily Leng Yuexing made a sofa.

The director he had worked with before would have needed at least five minutes to create such a sofa, but Leng Yuexing seemed to have done it in an instant.

Jiang Yunsu smiled expectantly at Leng Yuexing, surprised that the director she was working with this time was so outstanding.

He then walked to the sofa and sat down to watch Leng Yuexing choose other roles.

Upon seeing the disciple chosen by Leng Yuexing, he couldn't help but chuckle.

There was no other reason than that this disciple had truly exceeded his expectations.

The disciple was so burly that two of him could almost fit inside him; I wonder if the director intentionally designed such a disciple for him.

After Leng Yuexing chose Duanmu Shi, Shangguan Huaigu's disciple, she rushed to choose the remaining supporting characters, unaware of Jiang Yunsu's thoughts.

The real Duanmu Shi was indeed as Leng Yuexing had chosen: a burly man with broad shoulders and a strong waist.

However, he was very shy, and this stark contrast was what made Leng Yuexing remember him so vividly.

When the countdown ended, Leng Yuexing finally selected all the characters.

At this moment, the host's cheerful voice rang out again.

"Dear contestants, the actor selection period has ended. If you did not select your favorite lead role, unfortunately, you will not have another chance to choose."

"Next, we'll officially begin creating the short drama!"

"I hereby declare that the production of the short drama has officially begun!"

"Please begin your creations, contestants!"

As Xiaoxiao's voice faded, only Leng Yuexing and the protagonists he had just chosen remained in the entire virtual space.

Leng Yuexing was at a loss for what to do and stood silently in place, lost in thought.

Jiang Yunsu walked to Leng Yuexing's side. "Director Leng, would you like to create the scene first and then give us the script, or give us the script first?"

Leng Yuexing snapped out of his reverie, glanced thoughtfully at the white virtual space, and then said, "No, we need to hold the launch ceremony first."

"Hold a launch ceremony?" Jiang Yunsu asked in surprise, as he had never heard of such a ceremony before.

Leng Yuexing was even more surprised than Jiang Yunsu, "Don't you hold a start-up ceremony when you begin filming?"

Jiang Yunsu laughed and said, "Perhaps I am ignorant, but I have not participated in any opening ceremony."

The other actors nearby echoed this sentiment; none of them had participated in any opening ceremony.

Leng Yuexing smiled and said, "That's alright, you can just follow along with me in a bit."

Leng Yuexing had at least been an actor once, so although his memories were a bit hazy, he still remembered the general outlines.

With a wave of her hand, Leng Yuexing created a long table on the open ground beside her.

Guan Yu is enshrined on the table, with incense burners and roast suckling pig and fresh fruit offered on either side.

Leng Yuexing then created a filming machine covered with a red cloth.

Afterwards, he calculated the time in his mind and found that the time was just right. So, Leng Yuexing made a lot of incense in his hand, lit the incense, and handed it to the actor next to him.

"Follow my movements, then silently wish for a successful filming of this short drama, and then place the incense sticks in the incense burner, understand?"

The other actors nodded, then followed Leng Yuexing's actions, bowing to the long table before placing the incense sticks into the incense burner.

All of this seemed so mysterious that a series of ellipses filled the screen in the comments.

At this point, the audience had no idea that Leng Yuexing would bring them an unprecedented viewing experience.
