Chapter 199: The Perilous Shoot of a Wuxia Film

"After all this time, Xiuyun's cherished one is finally about to be born."

"Cheering for Xiuyun!"

"When my children have grown, it finally graces the screen, reminisce about those days in school when I sneaked reads between classes, evading teachers' watchful eyes."

"Yes, I never thought that now I'm searching my son's backpack and phone every day to see if he's hiding any novels. Back then, I was a master at evading parents and teachers' tactics, and now I'm using all those skills to investigate my own son."

"Time really flies; I didn't have a girlfriend back when I first started reading this book."

No, the main character of Psionic Storm is Su Yang, right? Li Xiuyun doesn't have much screen time, so how come everything is flooded with Li Xiuyun?

"Upstairs is clueless, don't they know how wildly popular our Xiuyun is? For as long as the Psychic Tide has been blazing, Xiuyun has been burning just as brightly."

Quality over quantity, that's the key! Xiuyun, charge ahead, with Yun fans guarding your way!

The promotional campaign for the Psionic Frenzy was clearly a major production affair, and the convergence of Tang Fei and Li Xiuyun's popularity, spanning both two-dimensional and three-dimensional realms, was truly terrifying.

The internet is virtually buzzing; even before its release, it has transcended dimensions. Tang Fei's performances in several promotional clips are nothing short of Li Xiuyun incarnate.

Fervent book fans were obsessively replaying a few select scenes, causing the online data traffic to overload servers across various platforms.

Unexpectedly, the Psychic Frenzy, which had raged for over a decade, possessed tremendous power. Encountering Tang Fei was like two high-explosive bombs going off simultaneously, appealing to a broad demographic ranging from the young to the old, both male and female.

"Our Xiuyun is truly charming, a sight to behold; my utmost affection for her."

"The character portrayal is impeccable. Tang Fei's Li Xiuyun is more beautiful than Si Cui and even more goddess-like than Xu Wan!"

"Wait a moment, why are the Yun fans belittling our Wanwan and Cuicui? No way, no way. Goddess Wanwan is the best!"

"Jade Powder protests, 'I, Jade, am the most beautiful one!'"

"Dear fans of the characters, consider switching your allegiance to the real-life Feifei; this way, you won't have to argue anymore. She's all our Fei, and the most beautiful in every way!"

With the anticipated surge of excitement surrounding the upcoming broadcast of Psionic Frenzy, the series has already reached soaring levels of anticipation. At nine o'clock, in a move that greatly bolstered the show's prestige, the production team orchestrated the reappearance of Tang Fei on Weibo, who had been absent from the public eye for several months.

Tang Fei: "Caramel Candies, it's been a while. I'm about to get busy again, and I hope Xiuyun from Psionic Surge will keep you fine company."

Tang Fei's verified Weibo account, which had lain dormant as if abandoned, finally broke its silence.

Announcement! Tang Fei has spoken, promoting the Psychedelic Tide.

This treatment was unprecedented in other dramas, truly living up to the reputation of Nine o'clock's artists and their productions – insiders were indeed held in high regard. If Tang Fei valued it, her fans had to cherish it even more! The Taffy Sugars collectively flocked to Tang Fei's account.

"For Feifei, I'm reading the original 'Spiritual Frenzy' novel, over a thousand chapters, turning my eyes into panda eyes from the marathon reading sessions."

"Take care of yourself, Feifei, don't overwork yourself amidst all that busyness. We'll be here to look after Xiuyun for you."

What's Feifei been up to? Has the filming of 'Dragon and Tiger Heroes' wrapped up? Is she about to join another production? My Feifei truly is a workhorse; fans have an endless supply of dramas to enjoy, it's such bliss.

Reading through the fans' comments, He Zhou's heart was warmed. He screenshot a few representative ones and printed them out, compiling them together to show Tang Fei.

As Tang Fei sat down for a meal, she perused the stack of fan messages that He Zhou had brought over. With each one she read, she was deeply moved. Although fans and celebrities are separated by a distance, the mutual exchange of heartfelt emotions warms the soul.

Seizing the opportunity, He Zhou snapped a picture of Tang Fei engrossed in reading her fans' comments, her profile etched with concentration as she pored over the messages. Beside her, on the table, lay a stack of announcements for the upcoming "Dragon Saber" series.

The photo was promptly released through the fan club's official channel, and the fans erupted once again.

"Sniffle, sniffle, despite being so busy, Feifei still takes the time to read our messages."

"I assumed Feifei didn't pay any attention, so I didn't bother to speak up. It seems I misunderstood! I'll go talk to her right away."

"Will she really look at it? Ah, my mom asked me to tell Tang Fei that the young lady should eat more, she's too thin. I'm hesitating whether I should send it or not."

"Don't post it! I often see on Weibo that Feifei loves snacks and meat; I'm really afraid she might gain weight and not look as good."

"The soulful concern from an elder carries a strong resemblance to how my mother cares for me."

The psionic frenzy "Spiritual Surge" is slated for release on October 16th, while the first season of "Dragon's Saga" is anticipated to wrap up filming on October 9th. Tang Fei has been diligently present for the shooting of the final scenes as well.

The filming of martial arts dramas is quite arduous, especially in the sweltering heat of summer, when actors are clad in multiple layers and suspended on wires amidst high temperatures. Tang Fei can deeply relate to this, as it was under such conditions that the original owner of her body met their unfortunate end.

Today's shoot is for a major scene in the first season.

At the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals, Mu Rongfu sought to subjugate the peculiar individuals hailing from the Seventy-Two Islands and Thirty-Six Caves. The lords of these islands and caves engaged Mu Rongfu in battle, only to find him effortlessly parrying their assaults with an air of elegance and poise, embodying the very image of a graceful gentleman.

In pursuit of realistic scenes and effects, there will be explosions! This is a highly problematic area, where Tang Fei meticulously checks the safety of the wires. Meanwhile, how to utilize explosives in a way that is both safe, effective, and visually impactful greatly challenges the expertise of the pyrotechnicians.

Xing Le was suspended on wires, demonstrating a solid foundation in his martial arts skills. His strength and precision were commendable in the combat sequences. Adorned in splendid attire and makeup, he engaged in martial arts exchanges with hundreds of people.

With positions set and preparations nearly complete, the director called out, "3, 2, 1, action!"

With a single move, Xing Le defeated each opponent, his martial art, Embracing the Stars and Shifting the Moon, displaying unparalleled might.Swiftly, he subdued a large crowd. Amidst the hopeful gazes of the assembly, the most elite cave master among these hundreds of people stepped forward. If Mu Rongfu could defeat this individual, he would gain a cohort of highly skilled warriors as subordinates, laying the foundation for the revival of his nation.

At this moment, Xing Le perceives Mu Rongfu as a protagonist figure, envisioning him as an arrogant young master who has attained remarkable success before even reaching the age of thirty. While his achievements are undoubtedly bolstered by the esteemed Mu Family of Gusu, he himself is inherently worthy of such excellence.

The main act commenced as the two adversaries assumed their stances, engaging in a rhythmic exchange of moves. With each shift and parry, explosions echoed amidst their confrontation.

The surrounding earth and rocks had been loosened, and the eruptions of soil and stones were more vivid and explosive than any special effects. The shooting was progressing smoothly when, suddenly, someone jumped in alarm.

"Run! One hasn't detonated yet, someone must have set a longer fuse! Hurry up, those on that side, run! Wei Ya, stop pulling the wire!"

The location happened to be in close proximity to Tang Fei, and as Xing Le, suspended by wires, delivered a strike, the wires were set to return and touch down right here. If the explosion were triggered now, both individuals would be in peril!

Upon hearing this, Tang Fei looked up at Xing Le, who was swinging towards her on wires. Instead of running away, she moved against instinct and headed towards the blast point. She thrust a punch into Xing Le's shoulder, spinning him around on the wire. The rigger controlling the wires stumbled and fell, while Xing Le tumbled through the air, ultimately crashing onto another spot.

It was at this moment that the explosion erupted.

With a thunderous crash, BOM, enormous clods of earth soared into the sky, instantly plunging the scene into chaos.

"Teacher Tang, where is Teacher Tang? Call 120 quickly."

Xing Le tumbled on the ground, his palm grazed and bruised, his shoulder throbbing from Tang Fei's powerful punch. He gradually pulled himself up, staring at the earth mound that had engulfed Tang Fei from the explosion, his mind a blank slate.

Tang Fei was actually farther away than he was. Upon hearing the warning, she immediately ran, so she likely wouldn't be injured. It was only he who happened to land right at the explosion point.

Xing Le, covered in dirt, appeared disoriented, struggling with a sense of surreality even after Tang Fei had been lifted onto the ambulance.

Someone was injured while rescuing him.

And this person is Zhou Weichuan's woman.
