100: Peak? A marker for determining love.

For the past few days, they had been filming scenes on Devil's Island.

Li Xiuwu's first scene as Yan Nantian on Devil's Island didn't start until the third day.

The set design for Devil's Island was incredibly crude; the giant skulls and bones made of foam would shatter at the slightest touch.

The gate to Devil's Island was also made of foam and was only two meters tall, looking petty and cheap no matter how you looked at it.

When rehearsing the blocking, they had to be careful not to bump into the props and set pieces.

Accustomed to filming in Mainland crews, Li Xiuwu found it very difficult to adapt.

Li Xiuwu glanced at the new script pages his assistant brought over and realized the Director had changed the script for his very first scene.

"You've already memorized it?" Yang Xue looked at Li Xiuwu in surprise. The lines on these new pages were completely different from the original.

"There aren't many lines, it's mostly action," Li Xiuwu replied.

Yang Xue picked up the pages and gave a wry smile. "No wonder you're a top scholar. With that kind of memory, I could do it too."

His shots began filming soon after.

"Hahaha! The great hero Yan Nantian dying on our Devil's Island—how prestigious that will sound!" Li Dazui laughed heartily.

"Even if I, Yan Nantian, am poisoned, I won't necessarily die at the hands of scum like you." Li Xiuwu held his sword in one hand, his gaze sharp as he struck a pose.

After filming a few dramatic shots, Li Xiuwu was speechless. The lines didn't really matter; it barely required any acting skill.

Then they started filming the action scenes, which left Li Xiuwu even more speechless.

"What's wrong?" Yang Xue asked, looking at Li Xiuwu, who returned with a sullen expression.

"Are you hurt?"

"No," Li Xiuwu shook his head.

"Then what's the matter?" She was very confused.

Li Xiuwu looked at Yang Xue, not knowing how to start. In short, these scenes were the easiest he had ever filmed.

In one action sequence, Li Xiuwu fought the Ten Great Villains, but their moves only connected two or three times. The rest was just jumping around and exchanging energy blasts from a distance.

The action choreography was ten streets behind scenes like the "Stop fighting!" trope.

There were no action requirements for this scene, and the action Director hadn't designed anything either—it all relied on striking poses on the spot.

After the action scene, they hadn't even used the wires much; the flying shots were just the actors jumping off high platforms.

He felt like a fool, jumping around on set.

"Hehehe," Yang Xue covered her mouth and chuckled.

After hearing Li Xiuwu's complaints, Yang Xue covered her mouth and chuckled again.

"Director Wang is famous for his speed. You'll see soon enough."

In the following days, Li Xiuwu truly witnessed Director Wang's speed. Shots were almost always one-take, and if they encountered a difficult scene, they just changed the script.

Live sound recording? Forget it! They just prepared for post-production dubbing.

Li Xiuwu had certainly learned something new.

"What's the matter, Senior?" That day, as soon as Li Xiuwu set up his small table, Yang Xue ran over and sat directly in his chair.

Pan Lei put the things away and went for a stroll.

"Nicholas Tse keeps trying to disturb me while I'm reading the script."

"Is that so?"

At this time, who knew if Nicholas Tse was still in the "Feng-Fei" romance or the "Feng-Zhi" romance?

Since 2000, the "Feng-Fei" romance and "Feng-Zhi" romance had been seamlessly alternating. If you didn't pay attention, you really wouldn't know who he was dating at the moment.

Li Xiuwu looked toward Nicholas Tse and Dicky Cheung in the distance, wondering what they were talking about.

Although they were the male leads, their treatment was similar to the other actors.

If it were a Mainland crew, they would dare to demand high treatment, but in the Director's crew, they didn't dare to make any demands at all.

As for the luxuries on Li Xiuwu's side, he provided them himself, and the Director couldn't be bothered to care. This, however, made the two male leads very unhappy.

"That Mainlander is too arrogant," Dicky Cheung said, looking toward Li Xiuwu's side.

On set, Li Xiuwu was drinking cold beverages and using an electric fan. Outside the set, he had a parked RV with air conditioning, and he ordered his own food.

Meanwhile, the two male leads had at most an electric fan and ate the crew's boxed lunches, with absolutely no special treatment.

Nicholas Tse's gaze, looking over, was equally displeased. Whenever he got close to Yang Xue, she would find an opportunity to run to Li Xiuwu's side.

The two of them were famous across the Mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan; when had they ever been inferior to someone from the Mainland?

"Let's find a chance to teach him a lesson." The two exchanged glances, everything understood without words.

Li Xiuwu withdrew his gaze and looked at Yang Xue. "Senior, it seems he's interested in you?"

Yang Xue rolled her eyes at Li Xiuwu. "I can't afford that."

It wasn't like she didn't read media reports; Nicholas Tse's chaotic love life had supported so many newspapers.

The so-called "Feng-Fei" romance and "Feng-Zhi" romance: if he was photographed with Fei in April, it was the "Feng-Fei" romance; if the media photographed him with Zhi in June, it was the "Feng-Zhi" romance; in September, he was photographed with Fei again, so it became the "Feng-Fei" romance again; November was Fei, and the following March was Zhi again.

In this constant alternation, who knew if they had actually broken up, or if it was just the three of them, never having separated at all.

In other words, the "Feng-Fei" romance and "Feng-Zhi" romance depended entirely on who the paparazzi caught Nicholas Tse with.

"I'm going to disturb you, Junior." Yang Xue took out her script and sat there to read it.

Li Xiuwu didn't mind and picked up a book on computer technology to read.

"Hello," Fan Bingbing walked over while the two were reading.

Both of them looked up at her at the same time.

"Do you mind if I share the electric fan?" She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, smiling, her jewel-like eyes landing on Li Xiuwu's face.

The day Li Xiuwu first joined the crew, she just thought he was handsome and hadn't really taken him to heart.

But Li Xiuwu's carefree demeanor over the past two days had caught her attention, so she asked her agent, Wang Jinghua, about Li Xiuwu's background.

Wang Jinghua told her just one piece of news that shocked her.

Li Xiuwu was the absolute male lead in both of Golden Culture's television dramas that exceeded 20 million in investment.

You have to understand, she was already being ranked alongside the Four Dan Actresses—though not officially yet—and she didn't have any impressive television dramas to her name, let alone any as the absolute female lead.

She also just learned that Li Xiuwu was an artist at Golden Culture. Mention Golden Culture, and who in the industry didn't know? "Rich and clueless, come quickly."

Just count the outrageous things Golden Culture had done.

Spent a huge fortune to snatch three projects from a company.

Released albums for their new male and female singer groups, with quality on par with the Four Heavenly Kings.

Earlier this year, they spent a huge fortune to poach a batch of staff from a company.

Two months ago, they invested 10 million in a war drama; it was said that every film and television company in the industry had received that script, and no one thought highly of it.

Recently, it seemed word got out that Golden Culture was interested in a military script; Huayi Brothers had also received that script.

Wang Jinghua said there wasn't even a female lead in the script, and the plot was just a bunch of soldiers training, training, and training again. She didn't know what the appeal was.

Although Golden Culture was abstract and threw money around everywhere, many people in the industry wanted to make contact.

Whether they were Directors or artists, everyone wanted to get connected with Golden Culture.

Other projects were hard to say, but Golden Culture held the adaptation rights to the return of the condor heroes, which was absolutely top-tier resource in the television industry.

That was why Fan Bingbing took the initiative to approach Li Xiuwu.
