Chapter 735 Character "Landon Ricketts"
This segment of filming is over.
Furninha shouted "Ka!" and the performance was over.
Then, Funina praised Shao Yun's acting skills and said, "Shao Yun, your performance was wonderful! Especially the line, 'Reed Harrow sounded the death knell for you! Shao Yun, you have such a talent for acting, so heroic!"
Shao Yun shrugged calmly and said, "Nothing, I just wrote down my personal experience."
When Funina heard the words "personal experience", the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"Ah? Personal experience?"
Shao Yun waved his hand casually, indicating that he should not care about what he just said, and then asked nonchalantly: "Nothing, is this performance over?"
Furninna thought for a while, and finally shook her head and gave her evaluation.
"Even though on the surface this performance seemed to pass, it still felt like something was not right."
"As a supporting role, your aura is so strong that it completely overshadows the protagonist, making it difficult to tell who is the real protagonist. This is a big taboo in acting!"
After listening to what Funina said, Shao Yun thought about it carefully and came up with a good idea.
“We can’t overshadow the protagonist’s aura, and we also have to show the supporting role’s strength? This is indeed a bit difficult, but I do have a way.” Shao Yun said confidently.
When Funina heard this, she immediately perked up and asked expectantly, "Really? Tell me about it!"
Shao Yun smiled slightly and told Funina his plan in detail.
"It's actually very simple. We can let the protagonist know how to use a rifle, but he has to behave like a beginner who can only shoot and can't shoot accurately. More importantly, his wrist will be injured after shooting," Shao Yun explained.
As Furninna listened, she imagined the scene in her mind and thought it was a good idea.
"And then?" Furninna asked impatiently.
Shao Yun continued, "Then, at the critical moment, I, who was originally inconspicuous, suddenly shot and saved them. Isn't this a perfect solution?"
Finina blinked and commented, "Well, the overall feeling is not bad. Although the role of the protagonist's master does not look impressive, it gives people a sense of mystery."
“Although this kind of plot of a hermit master is a bit old-fashioned, it is also a classic setting, and it feels pretty good.”
Hearing Fu Ningna's clichéd words, Shao Yun's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible sneer.
He whispered, "Is it possible that this is how Little Mark met Landon Ricketts? This is a real thing that happened."
Fu Nina didn't notice Shao Yun's whispered complaints. She clapped her hands excitedly and said to the filming team, "Okay, let's do it according to what Shao Yun said!"
"Props team, prepare the props again. And Miss Qianzhi, please put some makeup on Mr. Shao Yun so that he can better fit the image of the old gunman."
……
After everything was ready, the re-enactment of the movie plot began.
This time, Chavore still plays the sister "Tulipe". She and the actor who plays Kamisato Ayaka successfully escape from the count's house.
The Earl did not give up. He sent his own guards as killers to hunt down the sisters.
What was different from before was that this time the two girls did not sit there and wait to be rescued as they had done before.
Instead, it turned into a futile struggle and was saved by "Landon Ricketts" played by Shao Yun.
……
Surrounded by killers, Xia Vole raised the rifle in his hand tremblingly and pointed it aimlessly at the hideous killers.
"Don't come over here! Or I'll shoot!"
However, these killers obviously did not take Xiawolei's threat seriously.
They are elites sent by the Earl and have extensive experience in dealing with various dangerous situations.
Although they were somewhat afraid of the rifle in Xiawole's hand, they did not retreat, but slowly approached Xiawole.
Xia Volei's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her fingers were tightly on the trigger.
At this moment, due to excessive tension, her fingers suddenly clenched uncontrollably, and the rifle unexpectedly fired!
"Bang!" The recoil of the rifle caused Xiawolei's wrist to twist suddenly, and a sharp pain came.
She couldn't help but cry out: "Ah, my hand!"
At the same time, the rifle fell onto the stone on the ground due to her mistake, making a crisp impact sound.
Upon seeing this, the Earl's personal guards smiled disdainfully.
"I thought you were very capable, but everything you did was just a pointless struggle."
Xia Wole endured the pain in her hand and looked at the killers who were approaching step by step. She made up her mind and decided to give it a try.
"Kill me and let my sister go!"
However, at this moment, Kamisato Ayaka, who had been hiding behind Xia Wole, suddenly stood up and stood in front of Xia Wole.
"No! Kill me and leave my sister alone!"
Watching the affectionate scene between the two sisters, the Earl's personal guard let out a mocking smile, then shook his head and said, "Sorry, the order I received was to kill both of you. If you want to blame someone, blame your mother!"
After saying that, he slowly raised the sword in his hand. The sword blade, shining with cold light, looked particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
Just as the Earl's personal guard was about to chop Kamisato Ayaka with his sword, an inconspicuous figure took action under a tree not far away.
That's Shao Yun, playing the role of Landon Ricketts.
He was seen holding an opened bottle of wine in his left hand and a rifle in his right hand, the muzzle of the gun pointed at the earl's personal guard.
Shao Yun acted quickly and decisively, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang!" A crisp gunshot echoed in the air.
The Earl's personal guards obviously did not anticipate the inconspicuous "old man" under the big tree not far away, and they did not expect that the other party actually had a gun.
He was startled by the sudden gunshot, his body trembled violently, and he almost dropped the sword in his hand.
However, this is just the beginning.
Then, blood (prop blood) began to seep from the chest of the Earl's personal guard.
The Earl's personal guards gasped, with an expression of disbelief on their faces.
He widened his eyes and watched the blood on his chest gradually spread, and then his body fell straight to the ground "once again".
Upon seeing this, the killers immediately became chaotic.
They originally thought that this mission would be easily accomplished, but they didn't expect Landon Ricketts to show up halfway!
For a moment, the leaderless killers were in panic.
They didn't dare to stay any longer and fled along the same path, fearing that Shao Yun would aim his gun at them again.
Shao Yun looked at the fleeing killers with a disdainful smile on his face.
He stood up and slowly walked to the body of the Earl's personal guard. He lowered his head and took a look, muttering, "I thought they were powerful characters, but they turned out to be just a few hooligans who bully little girls."
At this time, the rescued Kamisato Ayaka also came back to her senses. She looked at Shao Yun gratefully and said, "Thank you for your help. If you hadn't shown up in time, my sister and I might have..."
Her voice was a little choked, and it was obvious that she had not fully recovered from the shock she had just experienced.
Xia Wo Lei stopped Kamisato Ayaka from stepping forward to thank her and said warily: "Wait a minute, sister!"
Then, Xia Wole turned her gaze to Shao Yun and asked directly, "Who are you?"
Shao Yun followed the prepared lines and asked calmly, "Who are you then? Before asking someone else's name, you should tell them your own name."
Xiawolei pursed her lips and said, "My name is Tulipe, and this is my sister Iris."
Her answer was brief and clear, and at the same time revealed an attitude of not wanting to talk more.
Shao Yun nodded, then calmly introduced himself: "Landon Ricketts."
After learning the other party's name, Xiawolei became even more alert as she looked at the Earl's personal guard lying on the ground.
So, she continued to ask, "You were able to kill the Earl's personal guards so easily in a short time. You... must have killed a lot of people."
The corners of Shao Yun's mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, but that smile revealed a hint of self-mockery.
"Yeah, killing someone is a weird kind of honor, isn't it?"
Seeing his vague answer, Xiawolei became more alert.
"Why did you suddenly want to rescue me?"
Shao Yun did not directly answer Xia Wole's question, but instead turned his gaze to the direction where the killers were fleeing not far away.
"Do you want to chat here and wait for the enemy to reinforce and bury us in the grave together, or prepare to escape and let me treat your injured wrist?"
Xia Wole was somewhat surprised by Shao Yun's question, but her vigilance did not decrease.
"Why should I believe you?"
At this time, Kamisato Ayaka spoke up.
She pointed at Xiawolei's sprained wrist and said, "Sister, your wrist is swollen, and we really have nowhere to go..."
Xia Wole looked at her younger sister and couldn't help feeling pity and love in her heart.
She hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, you're right, let's get out of here as soon as possible."
However, before leaving with Shao Yun, Xia Wolei couldn't help but glare at him and warned:
"But don't think that my sister and I have any unreasonable thoughts just because we are young. We know how to protect ourselves!"
……
After the performance, Funina shouted "Ka!" and then showed an expression of great admiration on her face, praising Shao Yun's acting skills.
"Crack, this part ends so well, Shao Yun! You were born for acting. You portrayed the carefree feeling of an old sharpshooter to the fullest, it was so lifelike!"
Shao Yun did not seem particularly proud after hearing Fu Nina's praise. He just gently rubbed his sore neck, then slowly walked to Fu Nina, smiling and jokingly said:
"Haha, it's okay, but I think I still have some shortcomings, such as not fully showing that shrewd feeling."
(Langdon cheats at cards.)
Fu Ningna quickly shook her head and disagreed with Shao Yun's self-evaluation.
She continued to praise him, "Oh, don't be so modest. If the Inazuma light novel "The Gunslinger from Fontaine" is going to choose a male lead, I think no one except you can play this role!"
Paimon heard Funina say that Shao Yun looked like "Huoyun", the protagonist of "The Gunslinger from Fontaine", and he couldn't help but burst out laughing, as if he had heard a joke about how a father looks like his son.
"Ha ha……"
Paimon's laughter made Funina a little confused. She looked at Paimon who suddenly laughed in confusion and asked, "Paimon, what are you laughing at?"
"Don't you think Shao Yun's temperament is very similar to the protagonist of that novel?"
Seeing this, Shao Yun started to complain about the light novel written by A Mao.
"The story in that book is so fake, it's completely made up. If it were made into a movie, I would definitely give it a bad review without hesitation."
When Funina heard Shao Yun belittling the novel that was once all the rage and still holds up today, she argued indignantly.
"Hey, hey, hey, Shao Yun, have you ever read that light novel? Don't pretend to know something when you don't!"
Shao Yun curled his lips in disapproval and replied nonchalantly, "Of course I have it. Not only do I have the hardcover edition of the first three volumes of the light novel, I also have a book that specifically tells the story of the Xumi chapter, but I just never read it."
When Fu Ningna heard that Shao Yun actually owned that series of books, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly urged him, "Since you have them all, what are you waiting for? Go and read them, they are very exciting!"
However, Shao Yun remained indifferent to Funina's urging.
He waved his hand and said indifferently: "I don't want to read it. It's not realistic. What's so good about it?"
When Fu Ningna saw that Shao Yun was unwilling to even take a look at the book and yet said so arbitrarily that the book was not good, she suddenly became furious.
She complained unhappily, "You... you're really stubborn!"
Shao Yun didn't care about Fu Ningna's dissatisfaction. He shook his head and said with certainty: "To be honest, the things written in this book are not as exciting as what I wrote in my diary."
When Fu Nina heard Shao Yun speak so confidently, she stretched out her hand and said, "Then let me see your diary."
Shao Yun rolled his eyes at her and replied, "No, this is an act of prying into privacy. I haven't even shown it to Ying and Paimeng, let alone you."
Faced with Shao Yun's rejection, Fu Ningna did not insist too much, she just said lightly.
"Tsk, I don't care."
