138: In the drama, Xia Luo says: "They're not famous yet, but I'm going to be!" Off-screen, Xu Lu says: "I'm the one who's really going to be famous!"

"Cut! Alright, everyone take a fifteen-minute break, then get ready for the next scene!"

As a middle-aged man's voice echoed across the set, the entire scene erupted in laughter the next moment:

"Ah ha ha ha, it's really too funny. I've been holding it in for so long, and now I can finally laugh!"

"Yeah, when I read my script lines, I didn't think it was that funny at all, but when we acted it out together, it was really hard to keep a straight face!"

"If Director Xu hadn't kept guiding me, I probably would have burst out laughing a long time ago!"

"But didn't you notice? Director Xu's acting skills are really powerful; he can perfectly handle even this kind of comedy role!"

...The person who called 'cut' on set was, of course, Old Zhou.

Whenever Xu Lu, the chief director, needed to be on set, his assistant director would be put to use, but he only had the right to call 'cut'.

As for whether other characters' performances were up to par, Xu Lu was in charge of all of that. With his Directing Mastery skill, he felt no pressure regarding this.

As the other Actors began to rest, several heads of the crew gathered around Xu Lu.

"Director Xu, do we really need to shoot the next scene live? I think it's too dangerous. What if something happens..."

Feng Xiaoxia suggested.

Old Zhou next to him also nodded and said:

"Yes, Director Xu, actually, the special effects nowadays are already quite good. There's no need to shoot the window jump scene live, is there? Even if we do, I don't think you need to go on yourself. It would be better to find a stunt double!"

"No, I'll do it myself. Compared to a stunt double, I'm more confident that I won't get hurt!"

Xu Lu had no intention of listening to their dissuasion.

Because for him, who possessed the powerful physical quality and adaptability brought by the 'Mastery of Fighting' skill, what stunt double could compare to himself?

Moreover, Xu Lu had taken the time earlier to use Qiankun Qi Observation on himself and found that the white aura representing his destiny was still incredibly dense, with no signs of any accidents.

Seeing Xu Lu's insistence, Feng Xiaoxia sighed inwardly.

After these days of interaction, he had already figured out Director Xu's personality: usually very casual, but once he made up his mind, it was hard to change.

"That's three stories high! One careless mistake and it could really be over!"

Thinking of this, Feng Xiaoxia could only quickly call people over to prepare the safety measures to be at their best... The other Actors in the crew soon learned the news that the next window jump scene would be shot live, and they were all very surprised:

"My heavens! Director Xu is working too hard. Three stories high! Just thinking about it makes my legs go soft."

"He must be using a stunt double, otherwise, falling from that height and breaking a leg would be troublesome."

"I don't think Director Xu intends to use a stunt double. This is too much..."

...Fifteen minutes quickly passed, and at Old Zhou's signal, the Actors took their positions again.

It was actually similar to the previous scene, still a classroom scene.

Roughly, after 'summer fall', played by Xu Lu, beat up 'Teacher Wang', 'Yuan Hua' called the principal, and then 'summer fall''s mother also arrived... Action!

Old Zhou's voice rang out again, the camera started rolling again, and all irrelevant personnel quieted down.

"summer fall, are you crazy? Did you do all these things?"

'summer fall's Mother' looked at 'summer fall' in disbelief, slapping him directly on the shoulder.

According to Xu Lu's previous request, these slaps were all real!

Although he was hit, 'summer fall', who had seen his mother in a dream, acted playfully:

...Mom, I have to wake up, otherwise, the clothes I just rented won't be returnable..."

As soon as he finished speaking.

'summer fall' lifted his foot and walked towards the window, but halfway, he stepped back and kissed Qiu Ya on the cheek.

Then, before anyone could react, he directly climbed onto the window, turned his head, and shouted:

"Mom, I'll burn more money for you then..."

The next moment, 'summer fall', or rather, Xu Lu, had already jumped directly out of the window.

At this, the other Actors in the classroom rushed to the window.

Even Assistant Director Old Zhou and the others quickly walked over with worried expressions.

However, when everyone looked down, the staff members waiting below just happened to let out cheers.

It turned out that Xu Lu, who had just jumped down, was now standing up from the protective mat completely unharmed, and waved to the people upstairs.

Immediately, he looked at a staff member at a camera position downstairs and said:

"Did you get that shot? Bring it up for me to see!"

"Oh, oh, okay, Director Xu!"

The surprised staff member finally recovered and quickly retrieved the footage just shot.

Fortunately, the equipment had no problems and faithfully captured Xu Lu's window jump.

After watching it, he found no major issues with the performance, so there was no need for a reshoot.

Although Xu Lu himself wasn't worried at all—it was only six or seven meters high, and with his current skills, jumping out the window posed no danger whatsoever.

But he also needed to consider the nerves of the other crew members! Didn't they see that almost everyone in the crew was scared stiff by his jump just now?

The subsequent filming did not have too many dangerous scenes.

It was nothing more than 'summer fall' accepting the setting of being reborn in '97, starting to frantically pursue 'Qiu Ya', then shouting 'I'm about to get famous', and beginning to copy, copy, copy... "Director Xu, there are several songs in this film. Should we start discussing copyright matters with those Celebrities now?"

As filming progressed day by day, Producer Feng Xiaoxia was the first to notice this.

Because in 'summers melancholy', there were several 'blanks' left for songs.

Including when 'summer fall' shouted 'I'm about to get famous', he sang a song while playing the guitar, then sang another at the campus radio station, and later copied and sang multiple songs.

During filming, of course, he didn't actually sing; it was just for show.

However, seeing that Xu Lu, the chief director, hadn't mentioned this matter, Producer Feng Xiaoxia couldn't sit still.

Now that filming was past the halfway point, not a single song for the movie had been decided yet!

Hearing Feng Xiaoxia's words, Xu Lu shook his head and said:

"Don't worry about the songs; we'll talk about it after filming is done."

"Then... alright!" Feng Xiaoxia could only nod helplessly.

Although in a typical film crew, the Producer is a more powerful figure than the director.

But in 'summers melancholy', the situation was different.

Because, strictly speaking, Xu Lu was the true chief Producer, chief director, chief investor, and male lead.

What he said was no different from an imperial edict within the crew!

"Actually, I already have a good idea of which songs to choose, but it's just missing a little bit of an opportune moment to bring them out."

After seeing off the somewhat dejected Feng Xiaoxia, Xu Lu muttered to himself.

After all, these songs he was going to bring out truly didn't exist in this world, so... he was the one who was really about to get famous!
