Chapter 21: 021 is just so-so
“Director Tang, that’s sothing you should discuss with Gu Chengyu.”
Director Tang was at a loss for words as he watched Shi Lan walk towards the spacious riding arena just a few ters away.
Sun Ling hurried after her in quick strides, holding his phone and chatting with an online store custor service.
“An Lan… I paid the shop a hefty tip, and they worked through the night. The pillow will arrive tonight, and you’ll surely get a good night’s sleep.”
Shi Lan humd in response and glanced at the mount that the production team had prepared for her.
At a horse farm that served film crews like this one, it was difficult to pick out truly fine steeds because of the cost. Shi Lan’s previous beloved was a purebred from England worth millions. Now that Yan Shixiu had taken over, Shi Lan’s heart bled at the thought and hoped that the cultured scumbag wouldn’t ruin her horse.
However, considering Fan Yan’s wealthy heiress status, the production team still selected the most eye-catching one as a prop.
As Shi Lan approached, the staff mber responsible for instructions began to explain so horseback riding tips for beginners to her.
At that mont, Gu Chengyu and Chen Beini had just finished a scene and were coming out of the studio. From a few ters away, they saw Shi Lan standing in front of the horse.
They exchanged a glance, an unspoken understanding between them.
Afterward, Chen Beini whispered to her assistant, “There’s a good show going on with An Lan, go film it.”
In fact, the horse the production team prepared for Shi Lan was not this one. The horse in front of her was a newcor to the stable, quite handso but still very unstable in temperant and not fully tad.
Gu Chengyu and his company thought, if Shi Lan wanted to dean herself, then should she fall or get hurt from the horse, no one else could be blad.
“Chengyu, you’re up next with An Lan. How are you feeling?” Director Tang asked as he saw the actors coming out.
“Director Tang, I’m fine,” Gu Chengyu responded, though in his mind, he thought it would only be fine if An Lan was unhard.
Because of the shift in shooting locations to the horse farm, many staff mbers were keeping an eye on the activity surrounding Shi Lan.
Shi Lan approached the horse and looked into its eyes, thinking that although the little horse wasn’t very expensive, it definitely had a wild spirit.
“When riding as a beginner… be sure to never stand behind the horse…”
While the instructor was busily imparting safety asures, Shi Lan had already taken the reins with her right hand, shortening them skillfully, and with her left foot expertly stepping into the stirrup, she jumped onto the horse in one fluid motion, under the astonished gaze of everyone.
The riding instructor: “…”
Everyone: “!!!”
Following that, Shi Lan, under the even more shocked eyes of the onlookers, demonstrated very standard Western horseback riding techniques.
The horse initially showed signs of rebellion, but before the crowd could see clearly, Shi Lan had already taken control and started to gallop around the arena.
Gu Chengyu and Chen Beini were stunned on the spot.
“Wow!” Sun Ling shouted while holding his phone, his excitent apparent from the astonished looks of those around him, “An Lan, you’re amazing! Fantastic!”
The surrounding staff mbers also started clapping.
Seeing this, Gu Chengyu’s face darkened noticeably, as he had never known that An Lan could ride horses, and not just ride, but with such elegance and grace.
After Shi Lan had ridden around the arena a few tis, satisfying her longing, she rode back, dismounted smoothly, and gently patted the horse’s head as a sign of affection.
The horse that had been wild monts ago now lowered its head and nuzzled Shi Lan’s palm.
The riding instructor looked at Shi Lan with respect and said, “You’re quite good at riding.”
Shi Lan humbly replied, “I’m just average.”
This is average?
The riding instructor touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed for underestimating Shi Lan.
