Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 265: Riding Genius
The equestrian instructor at the side couldn't help but praise Anqi when he saw his elegant posture and coordinated hands and feet.

"You ride really well. It only took half a month for you to perform the movements so well. Not many actors in the crew can do that."

An Qi couldn't suppress a smile when she heard that. She was not the main character in this drama, but just a specially-invited actor. In addition, love&five was very popular now and she had many announcements. She usually didn't stay on the set and would only come when there was a scene.

Although I spent a lot of money to hire a riding coach, the time I could squeeze out to practice was very limited. I only practiced three or four times in total, which added up to less than six hours.

Am I really a riding genius?
An Qi thought happily, completely forgetting how awkward she was during the previous practices and how her coach suggested she not to actually shoot.

Well, isn't there this kind of thing in those novels about cultivating immortals, where someone suddenly gets enlightened. In the cultivation world, this is called enlightenment. Yes, this is enlightenment.

Although Malu's face and the words he said when ordering food flashed through Anqi's mind.

However, rather than believing that a dish can help people master riding skills, it is better to believe that she will have an epiphany herself.

Anqi became more and more confident and bold as she rode, and she began to tap the horse's sides quickly inward with her legs.

The horse under him received the rider's order and began to gallop faster.

The strong wind blew Anqi's hair and ancient costume fluttering in the wind.

But there was no fear in her heart. Instead, she was so excited that she wanted to shout into the wind.

Because she could feel that the horse under her crotch was in tune with her, and his every move was under her control.

A man and a horse were galloping along the path, and a row of debris appeared in front of them. They should have been temporarily placed there by the props team, including sandbags and carts.

Anqi originally wanted to take a detour, but sensing the horse's eagerness to try, Anqi changed his mind and chose to let nature take its course. He did not pull the reins and bravely looked straight ahead.

The equestrian instructor was the first to sense the danger. His smiling expression suddenly froze and he quickly jumped on his horse and tried to catch up.

He didn't want the female star from the popular idol group love&five to get into trouble under his nose.

Even if Anqi and her team don't hold him accountable, the fans of love&five will still praise him.

However, there was already some distance between the two sides, and Anqi was riding very fast, so even if he wanted to catch up now, it was too late.

Anqi and her horse had already arrived in front of the pile of debris. Then Anqi leaned forward, suspended in the stirrups, and the horse jumped up.

Draw a beautiful arc in the air!

He jumped over two wooden carts in one breath, and then landed safely back to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the equestrian instructor who had just climbed onto the horse's back opened his mouth wide, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

Not far away, a man wearing a black vest, black-framed glasses, unshaven hair and a serious expression also witnessed everything that had just happened.

However, he only caught a glimpse and saw a figure from behind, so he pulled the assistant director over and asked, "Who was that person just passing by?"

"Which one?" The assistant director was communicating with the on-site producer and didn't pay attention to what happened before. He looked up and looked in the direction the black vest said. At this time, An Qi had already stopped the horse. The assistant director was also responsible for the actor scheduling. He quickly recognized the person on the horse and answered.

"It's Miss Anqi from Love&Five. Her scene will be the next one. I guess she's trying to get the hang of it in advance..."

He paused here. Not long ago, An Qi's assistant came to see Director Xu to discuss An Qi's upcoming horse riding scene. The assistant wanted to change it to a partial shooting and find a small three-wheeled car to carry An Qi.

Only shoot the upper body part, and then shoot the horse separately, and put them together to form a complete horse riding scene.

This is actually a common filming technique in the industry. Not only are many new dramas after the millennium shot in this way, but also old dramas before, such as TVB's "Legend of the Condor Heroes", the horse riding scenes were also filmed with actors sitting on a carousel.

There is also the chase scene in "The Legend of Drunken Master", which was also filmed while sitting on a tractor.

The biggest advantage of doing this is that it can protect the actors. After all, riding a horse is a very dangerous thing, and some actors are not good at riding horses. Once they ride a real horse, their whole body becomes tense and their expressions become stiff, and they don't perform as well as when they are relaxed on props.

It can also save costs for the crew. However, as an internationally renowned director, Director Xu has ample budget, very strict requirements for actors, and he is also a real shooting enthusiast.

In order to shoot an explosion scene, they used 4,000 kilograms of explosives in one go, razing half of the set to the ground.

Everyone in the crew was afraid that he might go crazy one day and even shoot murder scenes for real.

The assistant director has been following Director Xu for four years and naturally knows the latter's temper, but he still tried to persuade him.

"Director Xu, Miss An Qi is only a guest star and doesn't have many scenes. Why don't we take a step back? A good man doesn't fight with a woman. Love&Five has a lot of fans. Even if An Qi only shows up in the movie, at least we can get this much box office."

The assistant director held up three fingers.

However, even in the face of such temptation, Director Xu remained indifferent.

The assistant director looked bitter, but his respect for Director Xu deepened. Otherwise, he could become an internationally renowned director. His persistence and pursuit were not something that young directors like them could compare to.

But later he heard Director Xu say, "Xiao Tao, what do you think about changing the heroine to An Qi?"

"Ah..." The assistant director was dumbfounded. "Well, it doesn't have to be like this."

Having said that, his admiration for Director Xu has not diminished but increased. Otherwise, he could become an internationally renowned director. The speed with which he embraced traffic and his ruthlessness and decisiveness in slapping himself in the face are not something young directors like them can compare to.

However, he also noticed the female lead who was trembling with fear and looked very pale. He couldn't bear it and said hurriedly, "Xiao Yu was chosen by you from tens of thousands of people. Didn't you say that she looks most like Xie Ruru?"

Director Xu stroked his stubble, "But she can't ride a horse. She has practiced for so long but still can't do it. It seems that she doesn't have the talent. Xie Ruru was born a horse bandit. Other things are fine, but how can she not be good at riding a horse? The audience doesn't feel involved at all. Isn't this fake at first glance? What's going on? Is she planning to let me shoot it in close-up as well?"

Xiaoyu is just a junior student at the Film Academy. How could she have the courage to make demands to a big director like Director Xu like Anqi did?

When he heard that Director Xu was going to replace him, he was already confused, his eyes were red, and he was looking at the assistant director with a pitiful look for help.
