Vicious Cannon Fodder 49

Zhao Xin

Because Wuming's weapon was a pliable jian and the main reason Zhao Xin valued Taehyung was his action scenes, Taehyung had to dedicate extra time in private to rehearse his swordplay. Sleeping at 2 a.m. and waking up at 5 a.m. had become the norm. In addition to practicing swordsmanship, he also kept a close eye on the fluctuations in M Country’s stock market and the international oil futures market.

Time was becoming more limited, but fortunately, his work on Purple Cloud was nearly finished. On the third day after joining the crew of The Legend of Heroes, his body double role in Purple Cloud was officially completed.

Lee Taehyung

Although Taehyung had only been a body double, director Chen had been very optimistic about him and even arranged a small farewell gathering. Though it was called a goodbye party, in reality, it was just an extra meat dish added to their boxed lunch that day. During the meal, jimin also ran over, grabbing Taehyung’s hand to say goodbye. He kept pestering him to remove his number from the blacklist, even threatening to visit the Legend of Heroes set every day if he didn’t. Taehyung found it endlessly annoying.

Now that he had officially left the Purple Cloud crew, Taehyung had more time to focus on shaping the role of Wuming—especially his fighting scenes. To refine his movements for the Green Python pliable jian’s movements appear more graceful, Taehyung even sought out a teacher to train him in the flowing sleeves dance—mainly because there were too few instructors who specialized in whip techniques. Moreover, he felt that Wuming’s fighting style, as described in the original script, wasn’t just ruthless but also fluid and elegant, much like the movements in the flowing sleeves dance. As for the overall aura and presence of the character, Taehyung believed he could adapt it to fit the role.

Lee Taehyung

Regardless of the criticism he had received in his past life, one thing no one could deny was that Taehyung was an incredibly hard-working person. Especially when it came to his ambitions, he was relentless—not just toward others, but toward himself as well. Every night, he filmed until one or two in the morning, only to wake up at 4 a.m. to continue practicing martial arts. His body was covered in bruises, but in just seven days, he had mastered the movements to the point where they felt as natural as his own limbs.
