Chapter 671: Chapter 669: How Are You_1

After they left, Reyno said to the photographer, "Remember to touch up the photos to make them look good, especially Xia Ningxing!"

After saying this, he found another excuse for himself, "After all, the beauty of the leading lady is very important, right?"

He seemed to be considering the film, with no personal feelings involved.

So the photographer didn’t suspect anything, "Yes, Reyno is right. Don’t worry, I will definitely retouch Miss Xia’s photos well. Actually, to tell you the truth, Miss Xia is so beautiful that even without retouching, she is breathtaking."

From the bottom of his heart, the photographer gave a thumbs up, praising her.

"You make a good point," Reyno said with a slight curve of his lips.

Indeed, Xia Ningxing in the photos looked as though she had already been retouched, with not a single flaw to be found on her.

Her delicacy only made him seem cruder in comparison.

But Reyno was not annoyed, and instead was overjoyed.

Once the makeup test photos were retouched and confirmed, the director posted them online for the first wave of promotion.

There were a total of nine photos released this time.

Individual shots of Xia Ningxing, individual shots of Reyno, and two photos of both of them together.

Jiang Miaomiao and the other supporting male and female actors also had their own solo shots.

And finally, there was a group photo of the main actors.

In one of Xia Ningxing and Reyno’s joint photos, Reyno had his arm around her shoulder.

The other showed Xia Ningxing sitting on his shoulder.

It was not actually her sitting, but the effect created by post-production Photoshop.

This photo could simply explode with girlish hearts.

You could see that Reyno, with his tall and robust stature, stood as straight as a pine tree perched atop a mountain peak.

On his broad shoulders sat a woman as beautiful as an elf, a downsized Xia Ningxing.

She was barefoot, her delicate feet hanging before his chest, her eyes lightly brimming with a smile as she gazed off into the splendid and dazzling sunset.

Her eyes sparkled, shimmering with overflowing light, reflecting the surrounding scenery like crystal.

The composition, the angle, the lighting, the scene—all those who saw it couldn’t help but scream "Wow, wow, wow!"

Fans from both sides were so excited they almost jumped up, frantically showering their screens with likes—

"Baby Xing and Reyno together are like the Beauty and the Beast! Absolutely amazing! Just perfect!"

"Ahhh! My heart has exploded!"

"So smooth! So smooth! A million screams!"

"Oh my God! Help! I’m about to be suffocated by all this beauty!"

"If I didn’t know this was a sci-fi film, I would have thought it was a romance!"

"With such high beauty standards, not making a romance film is simply a waste!"

"Strongly request ’Desert Island Adventure’ be turned into a romance movie!"

"Petition of Ten Thousand People begging for this!"

"Am I the only one who feels sorry for the other actors? They’re completely overshadowed by the two leads with no presence whatsoever."

"Right? Hahaha!"

"Why do I feel like laughing?"

It had to be said, the photos of Xia Ningxing and Reyno were too exquisite and made the others’ photos seem dull in comparison.

Even Jiang Miaomiao was no exception.

However, Jiang Miaomiao had only entered the industry for the money, so she wasn’t concerned about anything else.

Instead, she personally left a comment, "Wow! Ningxing is so beautiful I could cry! And Reyno looks so cool! Yiyiyiyi!"

"Miaomiao is beautiful too! Stroke." Xia Ningxing replied.

Even Reyno, who is always aloof and never replies to comments, also posted, "Miaomiao is beautiful too! Stroke!"

His comment was the same as Xia Ningxing’s.

Before long, Jiang Miaomiao was sent trending by these two big shots.

"Ah! In my lifetime, I actually made it onto the hot search!" Jiang Miaomiao nearly fainted with joy.

The film officially started shooting a week later.

The estimated time for shooting was one year.

The first scene was the female lead and her companions landing on the mysterious desert island.

Xia Ningxing’s character, upon landing, got separated from her companions and twisted her ankle. With darkness approaching, she had to crawl to a cave ahead to find a temporary shelter.

The filming location had some rain the other days, making the ground damp and dirty now, with decaying leaves emitting a suffocating moldy smell, swarming with insects and ants. What was more terrifying was that Carl, that madman, had even set up animal droppings on the ground for the sake of realism.

Just stepping on it felt disgusting, not to mention crawling face down on the ground.

However, Xia Ningxing acted as if she saw none of it, performing as vividly as possible.

Dragging her broken leg, she struggled onwards, crawling inch by inch toward the front. Large beads of sweat continuously fell from her forehead, her lips parched and cracked. Pebbles tore through her shirt and skin, blood spreading out, and insects climbing onto her body.

She was injured!

For real!

Not acting!

But Xia Ningxing acted as if she felt nothing, her fingers deeply embedded in the soil as she continued to claw her way forward with all her strength.

Her expression was both resolute and brave as if nothing could stop her!

The whole set fell silent.

So quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.

Watching Xia Ningxing like this, they couldn’t help their eyes reddening, all filled with pity.

Jiang Miaomiao had already cried silently.

Even Reyno, who had shot many similar scenes, couldn’t help his eyes turning red, turning his head away, unable to bear watching any longer.

Otherwise, he would not be able to resist rushing over and lifting Xia Ningxing into his arms to protect her.

He couldn’t help but complain to his assistant, "This Carl, really, it’s one thing asking male actors to play such scenes, but how can he let female actors do the same? Why not just use a green screen and spend more on special effects?"

The assistant couldn’t help but timidly retort, "Reyno, don’t you dislike it when scenes that can be acted out real are replaced with special effects?"

He still remembered when a female star wanted to act in front of a green screen and he directly confronted her, giving her a piece of his mind.

Leaving the actress speechless, she withdrew from the film.

"Did I say that? I think you’re the one with memory issues! Go to the hospital to have your brain checked once shooting ends!" Reyno suddenly coughed lightly, feigning ignorance, and instead rebuked him.

Really, how could that ugly woman be compared to someone as exquisite as Xia Ningxing?

Even though it felt shameless to think so, he couldn’t help it!

The aggrieved assistant thought, "..."

I think you’re the one who needs to get your brain checked!

Only after the scene ended was Xia Ningxing pulled up by the crew to have her wounds treated and so forth.

"You did very well, Xia Ningxing. It’s been tough on you." Director Carl nodded to her with a hint of apology.

"It’s fine." Xia Ningxing shook her head slightly.

She had known that shooting this movie would be difficult, so naturally, she wasn’t going to be fussy about it.

Seeing this, Director Carl was even more pleased with her!

"How are you feeling? Does it still hurt?" Reyno came over, asking with concern, and handed her his specially formulated ointment, "This ointment will help the wound heal quickly. Use this."
