Immortal Martial Arts: Pushing Through Both Realms From Reality - Part 44

Ye Zhenzhen's mind was in a daze. At this moment, she finally understood why Director Zheng, despite his high position, valued Jiang Shu so much.

"If you're alone from now on, don't go wandering into the mountains and forests. You yourself said in the cinema that the world is about to change drastically, so why are you being so careless about your own safety when it comes to you?"

"How did you know? No, you're that auntie's son, aren't you?"

Staring intently at Jiang Shu's profile, Ye Zhenzhen finally recalled. Her eyes widened, and she exclaimed in surprise.

It was dark in the cinema, and she was wearing sunglasses, so she hadn't paid much attention to Jiang Shu at the time.

Thinking about it now, Jiang Shu, who had been practicing martial arts for half a year and knew Director Zheng, likely knew more secrets than she did.

What she had said in front of that auntie...

Suddenly, Ye Zhenzhen's face flushed slightly.

It was the kind of embarrassment a regular student felt when lecturing a slacker in front of a top student.

"Voice and physique don't lie," Jiang Shu said, his gaze distant, offering a rare explanation.

He looked down from the mountainside at a corner of Jicheng City, where cars flowed like water and pedestrians were like ants, saying, "I don't know what you're thinking. All I know is that when the world truly changes, the only person you can rely on is yourself."

"Right now, you might just see mastering the Horse Stance as a preliminary task for filming a martial arts promotional video. But you'll never truly understand Martial Arts by just getting the basics of the Horse Stance. Only when you achieve minor success in the Horse Stance and sense your own Blood Essence will you know how captivating Martial Arts truly is."

"If you had strength in your body today, you wouldn't fear a mere viper."

"Go back."

"Mn..."

Ye Zhenzhen lowered her head, her voice faint.

The moment Jiang Shu spoke, she felt as if she had returned to an elementary school classroom.

She was a student below.

And Jiang Shu was the teacher, high above on the podium.

The image of Jiang Shu punching out and stomping his foot left an indelible impression in her mind.

"Rustle, rustle."

Jiang Shu stepped on fallen leaves and slowly descended the mountain.

Ye Zhenzhen followed closely, her demeanor no longer as nonchalant as when she arrived.

In the following days, Ye Zhenzhen, for once, did not slack off. With her already decent talent, she mastered the Horse Stance in about ten days.

The martial arts promotional video officially began filming.

She had been holding back for ten days.

Finally, it was time for her professional field!

"Jiang Shu, yes, yes, yes, that angle. Don't move, act natural. Just be how you normally are. Why do you look so stiff when you're on camera? How are the cameramen supposed to shoot you like this?"

"Just standing is too boring. Do you know any boxing? Show us a set, something cool, maybe we can edit it in later."

"Actually, I think you should get a buzz cut, Jiang Shu. A buzz cut is the only standard for handsome guys! Trust my eye, I've been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and I've never been wrong! If you get a buzz cut, you'll have this incredibly alluring, restrained handsomeness that will drive a bunch of young girls crazy."

"Your current hair is neither here nor there, not long, not short. If it were longer, you'd be like a costume drama heartthrob! Wear a mask, then take it off! It'll be amazing! I'm telling you, you might understand Martial Arts, but I definitely understand promotional videos. Things like stances and boxing are all about looking cool!"

"Looking cool attracts people. Believe me, you should grow your hair out, maybe next time. Get a buzz cut! It'll be incredibly explosive!"

Ye Zhenzhen bounced around Jiang Shu, who was standing in a Horse Stance, her mouth like a machine gun as she quickly pointed out Jiang Shu's shortcomings: "My taste is never wrong. Don't believe me? Ask my team!"

She pointed.

A few meters away.

The makeup artist, lighting technician, and cameraman stood at a distance, nodding frantically.

They didn't dare to speak.

They didn't dare to ask.

Ye Zhenzhen was allowed to do whatever she pleased.

After all, it was this little ancestor who paid their salaries.

"I can't cut my hair. How about this, I'll wear a wig and try on a costume look?" Jiang Shu also felt a headache coming on. If he hadn't promised Director Zheng long ago, he really wouldn't want to go through the trouble of such a complicated promotional shoot.

With this time, wouldn't it be better to grind a bit more?

Wouldn't it be better to increase his proficiency?

"You really can't cut it? But a buzz cut is really handsome."

"No."

Jiang Shu's tone was flat and direct.

He had spent half a year to grow his hair to his neck.

If he cut it now, he might look cooler for the martial arts promotional video.

But what would he do in the Great Jing Dynasty?

You can't always present yourself with a wig, can you?

"Alright then, you try!"

Ye Zhenzhen's face showed disappointment. She sighed, helpless. She beckoned, and the makeup artist quickly came over, taking Jiang Shu into a simple tent to change and get ready.

"Can you borrow small boats? We'll shoot by the lake. My idea is that I'll take one boat to the center of the lake. One photographer will also take a boat and follow me, while another photographer will be on the shore."

A moment later, Jiang Shu, dressed in a long gown, emerged from the tent.

He decided to film the martial arts promotional video at his own pace.

Otherwise, if they kept dawdling like this, it would probably take another half a month to finish.

By then, the college entrance examination would have already started.

"What is this for?"

"Don't worry about it, just do as you're told."

"Oh."

Ye Zhenzhen made a phone call, and half an hour later, everything was ready.

Jiang Shu sat in a small boat and rowed alone to the center of the lake.

The small boat swayed slightly on the lake.

But he seemed completely unfazed. He stood up and assumed the Horse Stance.

The sunlight shone directly on his handsome face. Jiang Shu tilted his head slightly, letting the breeze blow his long hair.

Boat on the lake. Man on the boat.

At this moment, they merged perfectly, like a painting.

The photographer in another small boat crouched down, capturing the panoramic view.

Under his lens, Jiang Shu and the boat, carried by the current, drifted slowly towards the shore.

"The lake ripples, and yet he can stand firm in the Horse Stance on the unstable boat. This not only demonstrates the mastery of the Horse Stance but also shows harmony with nature, creating a sense of unity between man and heaven."

"Tsk, I didn't expect this blockhead to come up with such a scene. It's a pity it's still a bit too dull. Paired with some soothing music, it could mesmerize people for a few seconds. But only a few seconds. People are so impatient nowadays; without a climax, who would watch?"

"If the distance were closer, it would be fine; they could get a close-up of his face. He could make a living with his looks, but now Jiang Shu is so far from the shore, and the photographer can't possibly get a clear shot of his face."

"Such a good scene, and they'll only be able to edit a few seconds out of it. But it's enough; it's better than nothing."

On the shore, Ye Zhenzhen watched the small boat gradually drifting from the center of the lake.

She murmured in a low voice.

However, just as she finished speaking.

On the boat, Jiang Shu let out a sudden long roar.

She looked up.

She saw Jiang Shu, who had been standing in the Horse Stance on the boat, suddenly kick the front of the boat.

The small boat surged forward, splashing water.

Jiang Shu leaped from the boat.

He stepped onto the water's surface.

Even though he was still more than ten meters from the shore.

Towards Ye Zhenzhen and her crew.

His body like a galloping horse, he came striding across the water!

On the rippling lake.

The small boat sped along.
