Chapter 961: With Fu Huai’an by Her Side, What Did She Have to Fear?
All Lin Nuan could hear was the sound of her heart pounding and the sound of her blood gus.h.i.+ng through her body…
At that moment, the only thing she could see was that tall, broad, and muscular man!
“Terrific!”
Tuan Tuan, who was in Lin Nuan’s arms, clapped his hands vigorously. He struggled to break free from Lin Nuan’s embrace and ran speedily towards Fu Huai’an.
“Tuan Tuan…” Lin Nuan jogged a little, then gradually slowed down her pace, going after Tuan Tuan in a relaxed manner, watching as Tuan Tuan pounced over and hugged Fu Huai’an’s leg.
The little one looked up at Fu Huai’an, an idolizing look on his face. “Papa is terrific!”
Fu Huai’an bent over and stroked Tuan Tuan’s head. The little one turned his head around and gazed at Lin Nuan, who was walking over at a relaxed pace, then ran speedily over to Lin Nuan’s side. He tugged at Lin Nuan’s index finger, such that she had no choice but to bend over, then jogged over towards Fu Huai’an.
Lin Nuan’s heart was beating unusually fast, like that of a girl fantasizing about romance for the first time, like she was going over to see the guy of her dreams.
Today, Fu Huai’an had a face full of camouflage paint. Wearing clothes like this, standing tall and broad, Lin Nuan saw the Fu Huai’an that rescued her and the others in Iraq. She saw the Fu Huai’an that used to be in the special forces!
She saw that behind Fu Huai’an’s mature and scheming vibe, there was a hidden side that was righteous and full of justice. She saw the hot-blooded Fu Huai’an who had such a powerful aura!
Such a Fu Huai’an made Lin Nuan’s heart throb yet again!
Sitting by the side watching Fu Huai’an, the male lead’s throat vibrated. He had been experiencing life in the army for so long and had been learning these actions for nearly half a year…
Yet he had never seen anyone who could execute the descent from the skies so beautifully and nimbly. He had never seen anyone doing it this way, looking like he was ready for battle the minute he landed!
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would certainly not have believed it. He would have thought this was the magic of editing to make the movie appear more eye-catching!
With such a person acting as his stunt double, he felt very uneasy.
Lin Nuan was pulled along to Fu Huai’an by Tuan Tuan. He smiled at Lin Nuan, making her ears turn red.
She tucked the stray strands of hair made messy by the helicopter earlier behind her ears, then said to Fu Huai’an, “Take note of your safety later!”
Fu Huai’an nodded. “Don’t worry!”
The subsequent actions were nothing in Fu Huai’an’s eyes!
Fu Huai’an’s solo scenes were shot very quickly. Apart from some slips made by the other people that required Fu Huai’an’s cooperation, Fu Huai’an succeeded in filming his scenes in one take…
The beautiful and fluid actions made one unable to help but give praise, especially the director who was sitting behind the monitor. His throat kept throbbing, and his heart wavered slightly. He started having thoughts of replacing the male lead.
By the time they were done filming this series of actions, it was three in the afternoon!
It was still early. Later, the director planned to film the scene of Fu Huai’an rescuing Lin Nuan.
The director told Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan to do it once. They would then have the male lead re-shoot the scene by himself…
In the storyline, the male lead would be bringing Lin Nuan along as they dodged from a shower of bullets. Plus, the male lead would be climbing up the helicopter’s rope ladder with Lin Nuan, hanging in mid-air. Based on the male lead’s current condition, he might not be able to handle all of that, and his safety would be a concern as well. Hence, the director decided to have Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an do it.
It wasn’t easy for the director to get Fu Huai’an to help out today, and the scenes were filmed so smoothly. The full-of-zest director wanted to get Fu Huai’an to complete all the difficult scenes for the male lead today.
Cen Mo had played along, and this was him giving face to them. However, he was truly disinterested in this, so after removing his helmet and informing the director about it, he went to look for Tuan Tuan to play with him.
Lin Nuan removed her jacket and then put on her costume. She was preparing to walk over to the set when Song Yao grabbed her. “Don’t be distracted and act out of character the minute you see Fu Huai’an later. Just imagine the first time you saw Fu Huai’an and maintain those feelings!”
Lin Nuan wasn’t a professional actress, so Song Yao inevitably felt the need to remind Lin Nuan. To frail women like Lin Nuan and Song Yao, such a scene was taxing physically. If Lin Nuan had to do it a second time, she surely wouldn’t be able to take it.
But what Song Yao wasn’t aware of was that over this period of time, Lin Nuan had been undergoing physical training and could even handle a gun nimbly now…
Lin Nuan was no longer the girl who went to Iraq with nothing but courage and determination back then.
Lin Nuan nodded. “Thanks for the guidance, Best Actress Song…”
“Go go go!” Song Yao rolled her eyes at Lin Nuan. She watched as Lin Nuan got into the jeep and went towards the high-rise building standing amidst the blue screen, which was in the open and s.p.a.cious area not too far away in the distance.
That was the second filming location.
This building used during filming was temporarily built before they came.
That was because the building would be bombed to ruins ten seconds after the male lead took Lin Nuan up the ladder of the helicopter and flew off!
The director refused to use special effects. To make it look real, he decided to use real explosives, choosing to construct the building in a vast and empty area in order to add streets and houses in post-production.
Just like in the script, Lin Nuan was hiding in the small broom closet in the building already controlled by the terrorists. Her nerves were highly-strung, and the only thing that allowed others to confirm her location was her phone, which was about to run out of battery.
Lin Nuan had found this scene to be the most difficult for her in the entire movie. After all, she wasn’t a professional actress, and trying to display the emotions of waiting for rescue while holding important doc.u.ments in her hands was a challenging feat even to professional actors, much less Lin Nuan.
The reason the director chose to use Lin Nuan was that Lin Nuan was a show host, a reporter, and had built up a positive image in the country, having dared to expose the inside story of drugs like Abinoque. It was also because Lin Nuan had done the “After Heroes” show, which mainly talked about the special forces!
Secondly, it was because Lin Nuan had the experience of being in war-torn Iraq. She had been held hostage by terrorists and waited for her husband to rescue her!
Hence, on the way to the building, in the car, the director told Lin Nuan to recall her experience in Iraq when she was acting, to bring those emotions into her acting. He believed Lin Nuan would be able to do a good job.
Lin Nuan nodded. As the road became b.u.mpier and b.u.mpier, she thought of the fact that she was going to go up the rope ladder of the helicopter and fly high up in the air, and she couldn’t help feeling nervous. She was a little afraid of heights…
Previously, Fang Yan had suggested using a stunt double for this scene to the director, and the director had even prepared a stunt double…
But now that Fu Huai’an was doing the high-difficulty stunts in place of the male lead, Lin Nuan selfishly didn’t want to let that pretty stunt double have a chance to have intimate interactions with Fu Huai’an. So, she bravely volunteered, telling the director that she would do it herself!
Fu Huai’an, who was seated next to Lin Nuan, quietly held Lin Nuan’s pet.i.te hand…
Lin Nuan grabbed Fu Huai’an’s hand, her heart gradually calming down. With Fu Huai’an by her side, what did she have to fear?
Perhaps because the one Lin Nuan was waiting for in the pitch-black broom closet was Fu Huai’an, filming went particularly smoothly that day!
