Chapter 1774: Chapter 1621: The Otherworldly Entertainment Tycoon 51
The new movie is being played with great enthusiasm, and Jian Shuangshuang is already involved in the shooting of the new movie, which this time focuses on Zang Haixin as the protagonist.
To achieve greater authenticity, Zang Haixin has fully opened her family estate, allowing Jian Shuangshuang to shoot anywhere except the secret grounds.
Originally, Zang Haixin wanted to play herself, but after stubbornly grinding through performance classes with Jian Shuangshuang for half a month, causing Jian Shuangshuang almost to pull her hair out in frustration, Zang Haixin reluctantly admitted she truly lacked talent in acting; she couldn’t even play herself.
With no other option, the mature version of Zang Haixin was cast to Zhen Shu, who similarly carries the aura of a strong woman, while the sisters Du Xinyu and Du Xinning played the childhood and teenage versions of Zang Haixin.
The main base of the Zang Family is in Capital City, so to shoot Zang Haixin’s childhood scenes at the family’s main residence, Jian Shuangshuang brought a team and zealously headed to Capital City with Zang Haixin.
This time, Jian Shuangshuang brought a large crowd, including prop masters, stylists, logistics coordinators, lighting technicians, camera operators, equipment, and personal assistants just prepared for her actors, totaling more than a hundred people.
Since there were many people going to the Zang Family, they traveled via air transportation specially arranged by Zang Haixin, consisting of two giant Fire Kites.
Fire Kites are Level 1 Spirit Beasts; an adult Fire Kite can grow up to thirty meters long, with wings powerful enough to summon a mini storm.
During battle, a Fire Kite’s body ignites, hence the name Fire Kite. However, Fire Kites have a gentle nature, disliking fights and are inherently familial and easy to tame.
Despite their gigantic figures, the flying speed of Fire Kites is not particularly fast, but they are known for being the most stable flying Spirit Beasts among all known birds, excelling at spreading their wings to glide for long periods in the air.
As Jian Shuangshuang and her team arrived at the Zang Family mansion, they saw the two massive birds perched atop the rooftop from afar, and these birds were indeed Fire Kites.
The appearance of the Fire Kites was striking with fiery red feathers, white beaks, eyes matching the red color of their feathers, and a long feathered crest atop their heads, while the tips of their tails were blue.
Jian Shuangshuang first spotted a male Fire Kite, which was beautifully feathered, standing sternly besides a female Fire Kite, whose feathers were reddish-brown, lacking a crest or a beautiful long tail.
In terms of size, the male was about ten meters long, while the female reached fifteen meters, appearing taller and larger, although both Fire Kites were juveniles, not yet reaching the true adult size.
On each of the Fire Kites’ backs, a pretty small house was mounted, serving as a seat for the riders.
This house was crafted from special materials, sturdy yet light, minimizing the burden on the Fire Kite.
As Jian Shuangshuang and her team arrived, the Fire Kites, who loved gazing at the scenery from high places, responded to Zang Haixin’s whistle and descended from the rooftop into the spacious courtyard.
Despite their enormous size, the two Fire Kites landed silently and gracefully, not even raising a speck of dust.
Jian Shuangshuang and the team split into two groups, entering the small houses on the back of the Fire Kites, with more people on the female’s back and fewer on the male’s.
Once everyone was inside, the two Fire Kites raised their heads, opened their mouths, and started to inhale deeply.
As they inhaled, two large air whirlwinds appeared in front of them, funneling countless volumes of air into the Fire Kites’ bodies.
Though Fire Kites are massive in size, a large part of their bodies is made up of air sacs, so they appear big, yet aren’t heavy.
If not for this, the weight of the Fire Kites would collapse the rooftop under their massive bodies.
The bodies of the Fire Kites, initially flat, began to round out as their air sacs filled with air.
Once their air sacs were full, the Fire Kites gently flapped their wings, lifting off easily from the ground.
As the Fire Kites intensified their wing flapping, their flying speed increased, making the structures below appear smaller until they seemed mere dots.
The flying of Fire Kites largely relies on the buoyancy provided by their internal air sacs, with their wings used mostly for steering and maintaining balance.
Fire Kites are very lazy birds, preferring to extend their wings and let their air sacs float them in the air, drifting wherever the wind takes them.
However, domesticated Fire Kites cannot be so languid, but they still dislike using their wings much. Along the way to Capital City, even the slightest breeze would see Fire Kites stretching out their wings to let the wind propel them.
They would only lazily flap their wings to resist being blown backward when confronted with headwinds, disregarding forward speed.
If not for the sky travel being the shortest route, with the Fire Kite’s speed, journeying from Wujia Town to the Capital City could take half a year, but via the sky route, it took half a month to float from Wujia Town to the Capital City.
Fortunately, the ride atop the Fire Kites was truly comfortable, not only stable but utterly free of any bumpy up or down movements; even direction changes or altitude shifts by the Fire Kites were barely noticed by the passengers.
Of course, no matter how comfortable, after sitting for half a month, and despite the breathtaking aerial views, people grew bored, and were exceedingly delighted to finally disembark and feel the solid ground beneath their feet.
Zang Haixin was keenly attentive to this shooting, having arranged lodging for everyone beforehand, as soon as they landed, members of the Zang Family were promptly waiting to pick them up.
As they arrived, the sky was not yet dark, so Jian Shuangshuang and Zang Haixin went to inspect the shooting locations, arranging the setup while letting the actors settle in.
During dinner, Jian Shuangshuang met Zang Haixin and Zang Lin’s father, Zang Sheng, and mother, Fu Linlang.
Although Zang Sheng and Fu Linlang were nearing fifty years old, they were from Da Xuan Sect, with successful cultivation, living for five hundred years, thus, even at fifty, their appearances seemed youthful like twenty-year-olds.
If it weren’t for the orange flame chest emblem symbolizing their identity within Da Xuan Sect, one would mistake them for siblings of Zang Haixin and Zang Lin, rather than their parents.
Zang Sheng and Fu Linlang warmly welcomed Jian Shuangshuang, with their enthusiasm making Jian Shuangshuang slightly uneasy, as their expressions and gaze were exceedingly eager.
After dinner, Zang Haixin specially sought Jian Shuangshuang out, and Jian Shuangshuang discovered why Zang Sheng and Fu Linlang were so warm.
They both wanted to cameo in Jian Shuangshuang’s movie, playing Zang Haixin’s parents, in other words, playing themselves.
