The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 486

Nan XiangWan didn't care that the group was making noise, she was comfortable anyway, eating crab claws covered in oil with Xiao Dong.

After eating, when going to pay, it was only a few thousand yuan, not enough to use the food cashback. Nan XiangWan adhered to the principle of never wasting a cent of cashback credit, and reluctantly paid.

Xiao Dong reported the itinerary at her side: "In the afternoon we're going to the suburbs to film, Director Feng has already prepared the equipment and location this morning. Go pick a horse first when you get there, ten horses were brought over. One of them is very beautiful like a warrior, but difficult to train. Originally the horse farm people refused to let this horse come to work, but Director Feng also had it sent over, saying to let you try."

Nan XiangWan nodded, training a horse was simple, if it doesn't listen a kick will do!

In the past, her Red Cloud Colt was like this, the little colt was disobedient since it was small, as if it had to have its own ideas even though it was just a mount. It made trouble a lot.

If it wasn't for its unicorn lineage, no one would have let it join the army.

Every time, Nan XiangWan used force to resolve it with a kick.

The two sat in the car towards the filming location. Director Feng had rented out the whole area, it was a scenic place, with a horse farm not far away, very convenient.

All the equipment was ready, just waiting for Nan XiangWan to start filming as soon as she arrived.

When Nan XiangWan got there she was shocked first. She didn't expect Director Feng to perfectly fulfil all the requirements she randomly mentioned, not only that, even the details were particularly meticulous.

It should be known this was just an MV, not a movie or TV series.

Is this the professionalism of an award-winning director?

Nan XiangWan respected this director even more in her heart!

The story of "Sword Grave" continues that of "Sword Dance", and answers the most pressing question all viewers had.

Did the female protagonist die or not?

After asking Nan XiangWan's opinion, Director Feng started filming the opening scene on site with no issues.

At the side Nan XiangWan quickly had her makeup and costume changed, while Xiao Dong busily bought milk tea and fruit for all the staff.

Unlike the ancient Jiangnan style opening of "Sword Dance", the opening of "Sword Grave" conveyed a sense of bleakness and decay.

The scene portrayed was autumn, leaves falling all around.

Under a big tree so withered only bare branches remained, a nameless gravestone stood erect.

No name, no relatives, only a white gravestone, burying the grave of an unknown person.

Worth mentioning, in front of the nameless gravestone stood an upright sword.

The sword hilt was polished shiny, the sword body let out a humming sword cry in the biting autumn wind.

Filming this scene and footage was complicated, but only made up ten seconds as a finished clip. Next came the sound of footsteps.

Heavy, every step landed firmly, giving off the sound of metal collisions.

A pair of hands appeared on screen, drawing out that sword!

The camera panned up to focus.

It was a general's armor, fully armed from head to toe.

Then with a "bang", it was the sound of the armor closing up, the helmet completely covering the face.

Without showing the face inside the armor, it only captured that fleeting moment of turning around.

The armor-clad general drew the long sword, turned around, and strode towards the front.

At the crossroad ahead was a warhorse that had waited for a long time!

Director Feng: "Cut! Excellent!"

He was very excited, as expected everything passed in one take with him.

The staff immediately went up and flipped open the helmet, revealing Nan XiangWan inside the armor.

Xiao Dong hurriedly brought over a small electric fan: "Hot right? Heavy?"

Nan XiangWan: "Didn't feel anything."

This set of armor may have been very heavy for others, difficult to walk around in. But to her it was just right.

It made her feel invincible!

Director Feng: "Nan XiangWan hurry and try the horse, you have to ride it yourself."

Nan XiangWan: "Of course I'll ride it myself."

The ten horses were led over. Nine of them were very well behaved, did as they were told. Some even lowered their heads fawning.

But the other one was very bad-tempered, continuously lifting its hooves and stomping on the ground kicking up dust.

The person leading it could barely hold on!

Nan XiangWan went up and took over the reins.

The other party was anxious to let go: "This horse is very stubborn, won't let people ride it."

Nan XiangWan: "It's fine."

She reached out and patted the horse's back.

The horse immediately swung its head back viciously, its hind legs raised up high, wanting to kick!

Nan XiangWan didn't even give it a chance. With a flip she nimbly mounted its back.

The horse became even more frenzied, started going mad, neighing and constantly jumping in place, trying to throw off the person on its back.

Nan XiangWan sneered, leaning over to stare into one of its eyes: "What, still want to defy me?"

After saying that, her legs suddenly clenched, and her other hand fiercely whipped the horse's back.

Nan XiangWan: "If you keep defying, you'll become horse meat tonight!"

The horse neighed in pain, but still couldn't do anything. The person on its back was simply a devil, no matter how much it shook it couldn't throw her off. She even dared hit it forcefully?

The horse was aggrieved and angry!

Nan XiangWan didn't care if the horse was willing or not. Grabbing the reins she made it run. If not, another whip.

No horse taming skills whatsoever, just violence.

The staff at the side were scared into a cold sweat. Good Heavens, please be careful, it's a real horse, not a pet!

The horse farm people were even more dumbfounded. They had been thrown off countless times themselves, getting injured quite a few times too.

What was with this female celebrity?

Not only unafraid, she even fought with the horse!

Just as Nan XiangWan and the horse were staring each other down to see who would yield first, someone ran over to Director Feng's side, speaking to him anxiously.

Director Feng's expression changed drastically: "Didn't we rent this place out?"

Staff: "Yes, but the other party is influential with power. I heard there's a celebrity filming here and insisted on entering to watch."

Director Feng: "Which nutcase?"

Before his voice faded, a group of people walked over. From a distance, one could sense the unkind aura they gave off.

Nan XiangWan and the stubborn horse simultaneously stopped their scuffle, looking over into the distance.

Xiao Dong's eyes widened instinctively, immediately wanting to make a phone call.

It was Qiu Chang!

Why did he come?

Qiu Chang didn't bring many people over. At least compared to the surrounding staff it was negligible.

A secretary followed closely by his side. Behind were two men in black clothes, deliberately dressed to reveal muscular, fierce looks.

Nan XiangWan narrowed her eyes, but didn't get off the horse, continuing to hold the reins.

Qiu Chang walked right up to three meters in front of Nan XiangWan and stopped, smiling: "We meet again, Nan XiangWan."

Nan XiangWan raised a brow: "Who are you?"

Qiu Chang: "Pretending not to recognize me? Fine, I'm the Chairman of Qiu Corporation, who you harmed losses of 6 billion yuan, then losses of 10 billion more."

Nan XiangWan: "Oh Qiu Corporation, yes, the one doing fake charity right?"

As Qiu Chang spoke, he was very arrogant, with the bearing of one high above, as if the whole world was his, supreme and aloof.

Nan XiangWan didn't reply, but for some reason, the horse under her suddenly went mad.

This time Nan XiangWan didn't restrain it.

The horse suddenly reared up on its hind legs high, and kicked out towards Qiu Chang's chest!
