Chapter 455: Chapter 456: Supreme Treasure

He Jinxia’s shooting here wrapped up smoothly, on the other hand, other celebrities faced frequent issues during their shoots, of course, except for Sheng Yan.

Sheng Yan’s filming went very smoothly. He had tried skydiving before, so this time he didn’t even need a trial jump. He started shooting immediately and completed the scene in one go.

Qin Siqin and Yu Yanyu had it a bit rougher—one was on a snow mountain and the other on a high mountain.

The snow mountain seemed to have a more hostile environment, but in fact, by wearing thicker clothes, it wasn’t much of an issue, skiing after all. Some people even traveled specifically to colder regions just for skiing.

Initially quite resistant, Qin Siqin ended up enjoying herself once she got there. There were no accidents during the shoot, although there were quite a few NGs, everything progressed in a good direction.

But Yu Yanyu was rather unfortunate; he actually had to climb a mountain!

The altitude of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is no joke, Yu Yanyu chose the lowest peak, but he couldn’t handle it after climbing just one-third of the way.

Moreover, the surroundings were all cliffs and precipices, extremely treacherous, and it was a significant challenge for the camera crew to follow Yu Yanyu with their equipment.

The filming staff traveling with the crew couldn’t in good conscience shoot a scene less than halfway up the mountain and make it look like the very top, so they had to seek help from the head director.

If the stars and the filming staff couldn’t climb it, what could the director do?

After much thought, the director decided to hand the problem over to the public relations officer of Huami.

The officer thought it over, pulled some private strings to borrow a helicopter, and decided to just have Yu Yanyu fly directly to the peak. He only needed to stand at the summit, shout a few times, and then take out his mobile to check messages.

Everything was prepared, and just when they thought everything was set, Yu Yanyu became a problem.

Sitting in the helicopter and looking down at the precipitous landscape below, Yu Yanyu suddenly felt weak in the knees. By the time they arrived at the location and asked him to get down, he couldn’t even move—

He had developed a fear of heights.

Yu Yanyu kept trying to psyche himself up, but it was to no avail. In the end, he had no choice but to let a stunt double complete the scene for him.

The stunt double had a very similar nose and chin to Yu Yanyu, and their height was also about the same. Wearing black sunglasses and finding the right camera angle, one could almost mistake him for Yu Yanyu himself.

The stunt double successfully completed the scene, and the crew’s filming crisis was resolved.

The crew only allowed each person one day to film exteriors, and they flew back to Imperial City the same evening after wrapping up.

As people say online about being a star, it seems great to travel around and see the scenery of different countries as a trip, but that’s not the case.

When celebrities go abroad, they are on a filming mission, needing to be fully focused and alert, no matter how beautiful the scenery might be, it can’t outweigh the mental exhaustion.

Not to mention celebrities always have to be cautious about their conduct wherever they go, always in a state of high tension, unlike others who travel frequently for work and at least don’t need to hide and secretly eat their meals.

The next day, with clear weather, several stars gathered in a hotel in Huaxia Qingdu and discussed their experiences shooting on location.

When Qin Siqin heard that Yu Yanyu had a fear of heights, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Yu Yanyu, how come I’ve never seen you afraid of heights before? Are you really scared of heights, or are you just scared?"

Yu Yanyu looked at her with annoyance. "Do you know how tall that peak is? A glance down and it’s all abyss, a careless slip and you’d fall to your death with no remains left!"

Qin Siqin said, "Don’t lie to me. There’s no way the crew would let you shoot without any safety measures. You had safety wires on you, so you shouldn’t have been scared of falling."

Yu Yanyu paled slightly. "Safety wires aren’t omnipotent. Nowadays, even a simple harness can malfunction, let alone in high altitudes like that. You think you’re so capable, so why did you choose the snowy mountain instead of a tall mountain?"

Qin Siqin pouted and stopped talking.

At the time, the director gave them a choice between a snowy mountain or a tall mountain, but she had thought that climbing a mountain to film was too tiring and not fun at all, so she quickly chose to go skiing instead.

Yu Yanyu initially wanted to go skiing as well, but since Qin Siqin spoke up first, he let her have it.

He Jinxia noticed the sudden silence in the atmosphere, and with a shift of her eyes, she said, "It’s fine. As long as everyone has completed their shooting tasks, that’s what matters."

Suddenly reminded of something, she looked at Yu Yanyu and said, "But I think you should be cautious. If this short film becomes a hit, it’s possible that your use of a stunt double in front of the camera might get leaked. If it’s not handled well, it could turn into a scandal."

Yu Yanyu nodded and said nonchalantly, "I know. I’ll have my team pay attention to it."

Seeing his attitude, He Jinxia knew he wasn’t taking it seriously and didn’t persuade him further. Perhaps the short film would turn out to be mediocre and nothing would come of it.

Although their filming of the short film was strenuous and they hoped it would receive high praise, the tastes of the audience are fickle, and even the most seasoned directors and actors can’t predict overwhelming positive reviews.

Soon after, the director called them together to continue filming.

Now, they had finished filming the first third of the short film, with the main dramatic action scenes set around the "Supreme Treasure."

The four Divine Thieves infiltrated the auction scene through various means and decided to steal the Supreme Treasure a day before it was to be auctioned off, planning to resell it to others.

The auction house claimed that this Supreme Treasure was connected to the future fate of humanity, the direction of the world’s development, a gem of human civilization...

Advertisements say anything to sell, but the thieves had their own sources and learned that the auction item was actually a chip.

This chip contained highly advanced virtual VR technology. Once utilized, within a month, everyone would be able to immerse themselves in a virtual world, achieving things only possible in online novels—

Embarking as characters into virtual games within the virtual world!

Moreover, this technology could advance the medical industry, solving many incurable diseases, and on another front, the chip also recorded technologies that could drive human genetic evolution!

However, about genetic evolution, the chip had only achieved a bit in practice, causing slight physical improvements that weren’t major but still better than one’s original state.

But even a minuscule one in ten thousand improvements could drive people insane.

This technology would lead to the emergence of a new race, Supermen would no longer exist only in imagination but would become a reality.

And now, these technologies that had captured global attention were all sealed inside—a Huami Mobile chip.

The Divine Thieves painstakingly infiltrated and overcame numerous challenges only to find it surrounded by numerous infrared beams—the Huami Mobile!

In an effort to show off, Huami really went all out!!
