Chapter 48
The Amateur Watches the Fun While the Professional Watches the Art, Song JinXing's move made the firearms instructor's alarm bells ring instantly. This is a formidable opponent, not to be underestimated!
Previously, he was just messing around with a playful attitude. To be honest, even though the other party had demonstrated abundant theoretical knowledge, he didn't really think this actress could beat him. Playing with guns was a man's forte, and he was the shooting instructor of the top shooting club in the country. How could he possibly lose to a woman?
But now he wasn't so sure.
Because the other's movements handling the gun were too skilled, engraved in her muscle memory. She was a seasoned expert among seasoned experts, only years of handling guns could achieve her level of proficiency.
Both parties finished disassembling the replica guns and placed them on the table, one left and one right, two meters apart. Simulation shooting targets were already set up at the shooting range in front of them.
Guan Yuanzhou turned on his phone timer, rather excitedly, "I'll count to three and we'll begin! Ready!"
The atmosphere was tense in that moment, everyone stared wide-eyed. The firearms instructor had participated in so many shooting competitions, yet at this moment he felt unprecedented tension. Only Song JinXing remained as calm as ever.
Guan Yuanzhou raised a hand, "One! Two! Three! Begin!"
Their movements were incredibly fast.
Crisp disassembly sounds, only seen in movies, were happening before their eyes. The surrounding spectators were even more excited than the contestants.
At that time, two kilometers up the mountain, Zhang Qianyi slapped a mosquito on her arm as she held a cannon.
Her companion curiously asked, "What are they doing? Huddled in a circle? Yuanzhou looks very excited, ah so cute, quick take a picture!"
Indeed, these were Guan Yuanzhou's fansite sisters. They were lurking on the mountain opposite the studio, staking out every day to take candid shots of Guan Yuanzhou on set. Who wouldn't be excited since this was Guan Yuanzhou's first time filming? Even sacrificing themselves as mosquito feed in the summer heat on the mountain was worth it for those fresh candid shots.
At that moment, the movements from the set aroused these fansite sisters' curiosity.
Zhang Qianyi had the best equipment. With the zoom lens, she reluctantly took several more photos of Guan Yuanzhou first before lowering the lens onto the heroically handsome actress beside him.
"They seem to be competing?" Zhang Qianyi didn't want to admit she was captivated by the beauty in the lens. Until she saw through the lens what they were doing, "F*ck! They're assembling guns! Is this part of the movie? So cool! Quick, take pictures!"
In the lens, the heroically beautiful beauty assembled the pistol swiftly and calmly. Her cold and elegant face was tranquil. Finally the pistol cocked, two crisp clicks. She raised the gun, her left eye closed slightly, wind blew through and fluttered her hair.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Three gunshots, she fired first. By the time she finished and put down the gun, her opponent's hurried gunshots sounded.
"F*ck!" Zhang Qianyi was dumbfounded, "So f*cking cool! Who is she?!"
Her companion had apparently also been captivated, "The second female lead... acting opposite Yuanzhou, I think her name is Zhong Ruanxing."
Zhang Qianyi immediately climbed the wall, "I'm going to be her fan!"
She grabbed the camera and went snap happy.
Companion: "......"
Sis, climbing the wall so swiftly, how can you betray Yuanzhou like this!
The competition ended. Song JinXing finished assembling first, fired first. This directly led to the firearms instructor's mentality collapsing. Without checking the score, he could already guess how awful his score was.
Guan Yuanzhou and the crew ran over to retrieve the targets, Guan Yuanzhou now looked at Song JinXing with fiery admiration of the youth, "Sister Ruanxing, 10 rings! 10 rings! 9 rings! Teacher Hu 9 rings! 9 rings! 8.9 rings! Sister Ruanxing wins!"
The crew was elated, Ran Ting jumped three meters high. It was as if Zhong Ruanxing's victory was their victory.
Song JinXing also seemed infected by the atmosphere, a faint smile finally appeared on her usually cold face. She nodded slightly to the firearms instructor, "You let me win."
The firearms instructor was a little embarrassed at first, but seeing her still so tranquil and unperturbed even after winning, he laughed it off and handed her his name card, "Come by our club sometime, we'll compete again!"
Song JinXing nodded.
Not far away, Zeng Mingsong took a puff of his cigarette and asked the assistant director beside him, "Got it all on video?" The assistant director excitedly nodded, "Got it! Director Zeng, when do we release it?"
Zeng Mingsong leisurely blew out a smoke ring, "During the movie promotions."
The little competition ended, boxed lunches were also delivered, everyone took their lunch break. Because of the competition, the relationship within the crew seemed to have grown closer. Song JinXing felt the people around were warmer towards him, especially Guan Yuanzhou, who stuck to her, calling her "Sister Ruanxing" even more sweetly than anyone.
Thus the lurking fansite sisters captured many shots of them together.
Zhang Qianyi, the new fan who just climbed the wall, finally finished searching up Zhong Ruanxing's information.
Very discontented, "Such a handsome and heroic sister is actually so underrated? The domestic industry is done for!" Then got excited again, "Since I'm stanning her from the start, she's definitely going to make it big!"
In just those few minutes, she's already calling her "my star".
Her companion browsed Zhong Ruanxing's hate posts with complex emotions, "Looks like she has pretty bad reputation, stanning her will probably be tiring."
Zhang Qianyi got even more excited, "Battling three thousand antis alone with my power, I haven't experienced such bloody and arduous stanning life since leaving the Korean industry! Just thinking about it gets me so pumped! I'm determined to stan this sister!"
Companion: "......?"
Zhang Qianyi hugged her camera and went snap happy again, "Too beautiful! Sis is so dazzling! Standing together with Yuanzhou is such a visual feast! I heard they're playing siblings in this drama, super looking forward to it!"
In the deep mountain woods, the snapping sounds of cameras were endless.
While in the distant studio, Song JinXing, who was exceptionally alert to his surroundings, frowned as he looked towards the distant woods.
Were those flashes of light he caught from time to time his imagination?
Perhaps from staring too long, although across such a great distance, his cold and sharp gaze still made Zhang Qianyi's heart skip a beat when their eyes met in the lens. She clutched her chest, "My sis has such a strong aura! Oh no, I love her even more now!"
On set, Guan Yuanzhou saw him still looking towards the woods and explained somewhat apologetically, "It might be my fansite sisters, they're there taking pictures of me."
Song JinXing: "......?"
He estimated the distance between the set and the woods, and sank into silence.
What fansite sisters, more like snipers.
