Chapter 1246: Chapter 1237: Accident (3)
Of course, this kind of scene wouldn’t require a single continuous shot, nor could it meet such demands. After all, some of the chase and drifting scenes still need a stunt double to perform.
But Xia Siyu’s physical flexibility is truly outstanding, jumping from a motorcycle onto a bus and then flying in through the window, the entire motion smooth as flowing water. Even though the act of jumping through the window was actually done while the vehicle was parked, managing to complete it in one go was really not easy.
For the past few months, Xia Siyu has been practicing on a heavy motorcycle, building muscle, particularly arm strength. She jumps from the motorcycle to the window of the bus, supports her body with both hands, and clings tightly to the outside like a gecko. Without arm strength, it wouldn’t be possible at all. Once her body stabilized, a push of the waist sent her agilely tumbling inside from the window. The motion was smooth as flowing water, and she succeeded on the first try.
Next to Director Ji stood the stunt double, ready to replace her if she couldn’t make it. But unexpectedly, she performed so excellently that even the camera couldn’t keep up.
“Could you… shoot another take?”
Xia Siyu looked calmly: “No problem.” She jumped onto the bus again from the motorcycle and flipped in through the window once more.
Both times were successful, proving it wasn’t a fluke, even Jiang Jiahe, who had been watching from the side, stood up.
Because of Bo Yan’s setup, Jiang Bumei was called back to Yancheng and hasn’t been released until now. He kept a low profile in the crew and never provoked Xia Siyu again.
Jiang Jiahe himself has no hatred towards Xia Siyu, but since his sister dislikes her, he can only choose a side. Initially hearing many rumors about Xia Siyu, he even thought that maybe he could attract her just by beckoning, considering his considerable wealth and status.
But upon joining the crew, despite the entertainment industry valuing money, fame is even more recognized. The famous are deemed righteous, while the less recognized are perpetually at the bottom of the discriminatory chain. He perceives himself as good-looking, a proper film academy graduate, believing that as long as he works hard, he should achieve success. Yet he struggled to deliver even a single line properly, having to do it over and over.
Meanwhile, Xia Siyu, who was scorned countless times by his sister, handled both emotional scenes with nuanced and subtle grace and action scenes with remarkable poise, never afraid of hardship and always trying to perform in person.
Take today for example; he watched from the side as a stunt double did the dangerous work for him, while Xia Siyu performed personally. She was excellent, hardworking, and also so attractive.
Jiang Jiahe thought of his sister and then of her, and honestly, from a man’s perspective, if faced with a choice, is there even a question? He would definitely choose her!
Director Ji later increased the difficulty; earlier it was a chase with vehicles stopped, now the jump would be while they were in motion. Of course, the speed was slow, but even slow, a vehicle is still a vehicle. With one careless move getting caught in the wheels, it could be fatal.
However, Xia Siyu remained unperturbed; after mastering the technique, her speed in jumping and flipping vehicles was extremely fast. This time, not to mention Jiang Jiahe, even Jiang Jiahe’s stunt double couldn’t match her composure.
She might not be able to create something as grand as the “Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix,” but among the thirteen spins in “Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix,” one was something that Director Ji later increased the difficulty; earlier it was a chase with vehicles stopped, now the jump would be while they were in motion.
