Chapter 123: Start shooting, stunning the ancients
Chapter 123
The girl was lively and outgoing. Without waiting for Gu Sang to ask, she told her all about the role she was playing.
Gu Sang and Cheng Yuanyuan rehearsed their scenes together all afternoon, becoming much more familiar with each other.
The next day.
As soon as Gu Sang arrived at the filming location, she started her livestream.
She first glanced at the leftmost screen of the eight displays, where raging floodwaters still dominated the view.
Gu Sang composed herself, remembering the Elder Princess's words about the difficulty of recruiting female soldiers. She hoped that after this livestream, more women would break free from their constraints!
The ancient commoners asked curiously: "Immortal, what is this place? Why is it so desolate?"
"Indeed, where are those towering buildings? The vehicles that could travel a thousand miles in a day?"
"Why have you transformed into such a disheveled appearance? What are you planning to do?"
Gu Sang's face was dirty, and she wore a dark green female soldier's uniform.
At that moment.
She stood on the prepared set, listening to the director explain the filming details. Except for the screens showing the capital and the flood-stricken areas, which were devoid of people, all the other screens were crowded with spectators.
She spoke with a distant and respectful tone: "This is a modern war scene, like what you saw in the movie theater and on television last time."
"Although filming is make-believe, this bloody war actually happened in history. We're recreating it now to remind future generations who see it to remember history and never forget how precious peace is."
"In history, there were many heroic women. They may not have left their names behind, but they exchanged their flesh and blood for a peaceful and prosperous world."
"It's because of these women's selfless sacrifices that later generations of women could enjoy various forms of equality and freedom."
"They may be nameless, but their contributions are invaluable!"
Seeing the admiration and respect in Gu Sang's eyes, all the ancient viewers stopped their discussions and fell into contemplation and anticipation.
What earth-shattering deeds could that group of nameless women have done?
To be remembered so deeply by future generations...
Moreover, could women really achieve great things and establish careers?
The ancient people expressed their doubts!
"Everyone to your positions, prepare to start filming!" Just then, the director's voice came from off-screen.
All the actors adjusted their facial expressions, ready for action.
As the command "Action!" was given.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The intermittent sounds of artillery fire were deafening, frightening the unprepared commoners so much that their legs went weak.
What, what's happening?
Why did it suddenly start thundering like this?
It took several seconds for them to regain their senses and look at the projected screens.
"What's going on? Has the heavens become angry and sent down a calamity?" The newcomers from the new city, who had never seen guns or artillery shells, were terrified and almost fell to their knees.
The experienced viewers from the old city quickly immersed themselves in the scene.
They commented with relish: "Hah, this is the problem with people from later generations. Every time they fight, it's all rumbling and booming, scaring people to death."
"Last time when the immortal was training at the base, it was all bang-bang-bang, but it turned out to be useless, couldn't even kill a person."
"Look at them, why are they just rushing into the fire? Just hearing the noise doesn't seem to have much killing power..."
"Ah! His... his... his leg is gone!"
"Oh heavens, someone's dead! Someone's been killed! Run quickly! Stop charging forward, run!"
Most of the ancient viewers still didn't know what was happening, only seeing so many people being blown up, their flesh and blood scattered, bodies flying.
They saw soldiers charging forward, and then suddenly, a flash of fire would appear beside them, blasting them into the air.
When those nearby came to their senses, they saw an arm fall to the ground.
Such bloody, cruel, and realistic scenes made people's teeth chatter just from a single glance.
"Don't go! People will die!"
"You, young girl, why are you rushing forward? Why aren't you at home being a good wife and mother instead of coming to a place like this? How stupid, knowing you'll die and still charging ahead!"
The ancient viewers saw another person appear on the battlefield, and judging by the silhouette, it was a woman.
They immediately shouted advice, frustrated: "At a time like this, what trouble is a woman coming to add?"
"There's an injured person here, come help!" The woman who appeared in the frame had two small buns tied behind her ears, her hair probably not even reaching her shoulders.
She called for help behind her while opening the box she carried, taking out items to stop bleeding.
Her movements were practiced; in no time, she had bandaged the soldier whose leg had been blown off.
The female nurse, with red-rimmed eyes, said: "Comrade, hold on a little longer. You'll be fine, yes, believe me, you'll definitely be able to return to the battlefield, I promise!"
Only after the nurse promised that the soldier could still serve the people did he smile and close his eyes.
He wasn't afraid of being disabled.
Not afraid.
He was only afraid he wouldn't be able to kill enemies anymore!
Next, the nurse went to treat and bandage nearby wounded soldiers.
"Quick! Get down!"
"Boom!"
Just as the explosion sounded, Gu Sang threw herself at the nurse who was saving lives, knocking her down. The two lay face-down in the sand.
The blast scattered sand and stones all over them, covering their heads and clothes in a layer of gray dust.
After the explosion, they quickly got up, not even bothering to brush off the sand and dust from their heads, and divided tasks to save people.
"Quick, help! The wounded has been shot in the back."
"Gauze to stop the bleeding! Hang in there! Send him to the rear aid station."
"No, don't worry about me, this little wound is nothing. I can still kill, my hands can still hold a gun! If I kill one more, I'll come out ahead!"
After a while, several more nurses rushed out from the smoke and dust. Everyone worked together to forcibly carry the wounded off the battlefield.
The scene froze on this moment.
All the ancient people were dead silent.
"Cut! Very good, got it in one take." The director's words seemed to come from another world, suddenly awakening the viewers who had been immersed in the scene.
Some remained lost in thought about the casualties, unable to snap out of it.
Some stared at the nurses, lost in their own thoughts.
There were also some foul-mouthed ancient men who sneered: "If it were men, they would have carried the wounded out long ago. Look at how slow these women are at carrying people. On a real battlefield, they'd be dead already."
"Brother Zhao speaks the truth. Women on the battlefield just cause trouble. They're not as strong as men, what use are they on the battlefield?"
"Who says we women can't do it? While you men charge into battle, we women aren't afraid to die in rescue operations. Just now, there were female soldiers at the very front, shooting down several enemies with pinpoint accuracy! You've only got that tiny bit of strength to brag about!"
"Exactly! It was such a moving scene, but ugh, after what you've said, I feel utterly disgusted."
The man lowered his head, chastised. His eyes betrayed his disagreement, but he dared not argue further.
Things have changed!
They've truly changed!
In the past, women of lower status in ancient times wouldn't have dared to contradict a man like this.
