"Wu Bin knows how to ride a horse? Isn’t he a college student? Why can he ride a horse?"
"Don’t even say, his horsemanship looks pretty good, look at his posture on the horse, there’s definitely something there."
"Nowadays, even college students can ride horses? No way, isn’t that a bit too competitive?"
When the surrounding staff saw Wu Bin mount the horse, they were actually quite nervous at first.
Although the horse had been prepared by the crew long ago, it wasn’t meant for Wu Bin!
There was no mention of this scene in the script; him riding the horse forward was entirely Wu Bin’s own improvisation!
What worried the staff most was that Wu Bin had no experience in horsemanship, and once he mounted the horse, things might get out of control. It would be troublesome if the horse ran amok on set.
Little did they know that their concerns were entirely unnecessary.
As the saying goes, "An expert is recognized by their first move."
The moment Wu Bin mounted the horse, his entire demeanor transformed.
"Director, this college student isn’t following the script, should we call ’cut’?"
Seeing Wang He staring dumbfounded at Wu Bin, the assistant hurried forward to remind him.
Wang He hated it when someone changed his script. With Wu Bin not following the playbook, the assistant thought Wang He was going to blow his top again. That’s why he spoke up immediately, hoping to avoid collateral damage.
But when Wang He came to his senses, he grabbed the walkie-talkie, excitedly saying, "Everyone keep shooting normally, stay sharp. I haven’t called cut, so nobody stops!"
By then, Wang He was extremely thrilled.
He had always felt that something was off, always thinking that the character played by Wu Bin wasn’t arrogant enough, but he couldn’t figure out what exactly was missing.
But now, seeing Wu Bin on horseback, it all became clear to Wang He.
It was the horse that was missing!
Look at the rich kids going out to have fun these days; which one of them doesn’t drive a luxury car? Have you ever heard of a rich kid walking to their destination?
So from the beginning, Wu Bin’s character was incomplete, his behavior didn’t match that of a true warlord’s son, which was why Wang He felt something was wrong. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Now, with Wu Bin on horseback, not only had he completed the entire image of a warlord’s son, but he also portrayed the feeling of looking down on others with disdain. Wang He thought Wu Bin was simply a genius in acting!
At this moment, the male actor hadn’t expected Wu Bin to pass by riding a horse, but since the director didn’t call ’cut,’ he had to grit his teeth and continue acting.
The male actor invited Wu Bin into his noodle shop and then began to complain.
"Where are you from, sir?"
"You’re not from Stone City, are you?"
After Wu Bin walked into the noodle shop and sat down, he just looked at the owner Tie Niu and smiled, not saying a word.
But this smile alone gave the surrounding staff goosebumps.
The netizens in the live streaming room were also abuzz with comments.
"Damn, Wu’s smile doesn’t seem acted, it gives me a really sinister vibe?"
"Why hasn’t Wu spoken, but I feel like he has already said a lot?"
"I didn’t expect Wu’s acting to be so good, he’s made me feel so much without even speaking."
It wasn’t just the fans who noticed something was amiss. The staff on set were professionals, and they too could sense an intense sinister vibe from Wu Bin’s gaze and smile.
This sensation felt like an inherent vice within his bones; Wu Bin looked at Boss Tie Niu as if he wasn’t seeing a person, but rather an ant, a clown.
Tie Niu continued with his lines.
"Did I really hit the nail on the head?"
"Man, you’re lucky to have escaped. Life in Stone City is unbearable now, ever since it was taken over by the Caos, causing chaos everywhere."
"The genuine warlord of dogs!"
Wu Bin said with a smile, "The warlord of dogs?"
Taking it very seriously, Tie Niu said, "Isn’t Cao Yin a warlord of dogs? That son of a bitch, his son Cao Shaolong is even more of a son of a bitch, a beast among beasts!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Bin burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, a beast among beasts? Do you have a big grudge against him?"
As soon as Wu Bin asked, everyone on set felt a shiver run up their spines, a chill creeping up from their backs to their foreheads.
After all, the audience was aware of Wu Bin’s identity; wasn’t he the warlord’s son that Boss Tie Niu was talking about?
But Tie Niu was clueless!
Boss Tie Niu was still enumerating Wu Bin’s various crimes, while Wu Bin, thoroughly amused, did not interrupt him. Instead, he wore a smile, as if the beastly warlord’s son Tie Niu was talking about wasn’t him.
The assistant stood by completely dumbfounded.
"Director, it seems like he’s changed the whole script. Aren’t we going to call cut?"
According to the script, Wu Bin was supposed to display the cruelty and capriciousness of a warlord’s son at this point.
So, during the prior script run-through, Wang He had come up with many actions for Wu Bin, including beating Tie Niu violently in a fit of rage.
Who knew that Wu Bin wouldn’t follow Wang He’s direction at all and instead just listened with a smile, as if he didn’t care what Tie Niu said, let alone become enraged.
Wang He clapped excitedly in front of the monitor.
"Yes! This is the feeling I was looking for, this exact feeling!"
"How could a person like Cao Shaolong, who truly has status and position, get angry over a few words from Tie Niu? To him, Tie Niu is no more than an ant, not even worth getting upset over, not worth a second glance!"
"Wu Bin has a very accurate grasp of his character. Let him continue this way, let him go on like this!"
Wang He was ecstatic, feeling as though he had struck gold!
He had only intended to have Wu Bin make a cameo appearance, but who could have known Wu Bin’s acting would be so explosive!
From now on, as long as he could guide Wu Bin well and keep him stable, the movie’s box office was certainly in the bag!
Wu Bin carried on with his performance, from guessing if there were green onions in the beef noodle soup to shooting a man, all in one fell swoop, very smoothly!
"Good, cut!"
Overjoyed, Wang He shouted cut; that take was perfect!
However, just as the staff were about to approach Wu Bin to indicate that filming was over, Wu Bin’s gaze remained fierce, and he even pressed the gun against the forehead of a staff member.
"Wu Bin, what are you doing? Put the gun down quickly, we’ve already finished shooting."
Worried about Wu Bin getting into trouble, Zhu Hong hurriedly stepped forward and pressed down the gun in his hand.
At this moment, Li Xuan also hurried forward to explain to the staff member.
"I’m sorry, it’s his first time acting, and he was too deep in character and hasn’t broken out of the role yet."
