Chapter 1221: Chapter 1212 Pursuit (2)
But even without gunpowder, these are real guns. A dud can still hurt someone.
Guns are banned in China, and although the Jiang siblings are considered wealthy, maybe with plenty of sports cars and villas at home, they really don’t have access to guns in their daily lives. Besides, girls generally don’t like to fiddle with swords and knives, although when the guns arrived, she only looked at them out of curiosity.
These guns were even just parts, not yet assembled. A heap of components didn’t really show much.
Who knew Xia Siyu would walk over: “Wow, these are nice things, director, where did you get them?”
As she spoke, she skillfully assembled the guns with a few “clacks”, even loading the bullets into the chamber.
Director Ji and the male lead, along with other actors, were all stunned: “Siyu, nice! Where did you learn this?”
The male lead tried to assemble, but after fiddling for a bit, he couldn’t. He’s acted in military dramas and fired guns, but those were all pre-assembled with bullets already loaded, all he needed to do was pull the trigger. After a couple of tries, he could only helplessly scratch his head.
Xia Siyu had filmed two movies with him, so they were already familiar. She put down her own gun to help him assemble his. She didn’t reveal her connection to Bo Yan, who introduced her, just vaguely said, “I lived abroad for a while.”
“No wonder, I heard you can speak Italian too. Have you ever met the Mafia?”
As they bantered back and forth, they didn’t notice Jiang Bumei quietly reaching for the gun Xia Siyu had just assembled.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Wei Jingjing quickly reminded. Ever since Wei Jingjing took on the role of manager responsibilities last time and specifically targeted Jiang Bumei in the crew, Xia Siyu actually gave her a raise. She even said: If you insult this loser once, I’ll add a hundred to your paycheck, the more the better.
Jiang Bumei withdrew her hand, not panicking, just pouting: “What’s so great about it? Didn’t she just learn it abroad?”
“It’s not so great, but you can’t do it either, right?”
Wei Jingjing quickly handed the gun back to Xia Siyu, who then swiftly disassembled it. When she went to practice shooting, she was nine out of ten shots off target, the only thing she was fast at was assembling and disassembling guns. She even laughed: “She really can’t, she didn’t even pull the safety pin before trying to shoot.”
At first, Xia Siyu was particularly wary of the Jiang siblings, but now she just feels like these two are just helping to elevate her status, even if it’s just Wei Jingjing casting glances at her. Even a spat on Weibo, Wei Jingjing’s current status is a hundred times stronger than these two unknown little stars and their manager, right?
These kinds of people don’t deserve attention.
Jiang Bumei didn’t say anything, just looked darkly at the gun, and the safety pin.
When filming started, Xia Siyu showed the results of her recent training. She had studied dance, and had been training recently, her movements were elegant and strong, she didn’t even need a stunt double, she could handle it all herself. Plus, whatever martial arts moves the instructor taught her, she picked it up immediately. On the other hand, Jiang Jiahe was simply like a chick from a greenhouse. He could only rely entirely on a stunt double for action scenes, watching from the sidelines as soon as the shooting started.
But today, Xia Siyu was in a really good mood, not bothering with Jiang Bumei’s earlier dangerous move.
Because Bo Yan had said that his progress was fast, maybe today or maybe tomorrow, he could come to visit the set!
They hadn’t seen each other for two months, and she missed him terribly.
