Esper X Family – Chapter 601 – I’m Not Pure Anymore

The people Ye Yao had brought together were the elite of the elite.

Once they got into character, they rarely made mistakes.

After Lou Wei and the others familiarized themselves with the script, they could practically begin right away.

There was no need for the multi-camera shoots typical of ordinary productions.

Nor was there any need to piece together scene after scene through editing.

With Sen Tong around, along with all these top-tier experts, they could easily do the entire thing in one continuous take!

Ye Yao looked around the group.

“I have to say, this is quite the luxurious cast.”

For any film, the plot sets the ceiling, while the actors set the floor.

As for the Magical Girl Movie’s plot, there was no need to say much.

It wasn’t heavy on literary elements or grand philosophies. Adapted from major events that had just recently taken place, anyone in the know would get it.

And the actors were essentially the original cast.

Every single one of them was a standout talent with remarkable presence, and there was no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women.

Need a tough guy? You’ve got one. Need a beauty? You’ve got one.

Even if the plot were terrible, it would probably still attract a fair number of appearance-obsessed fans.

Of course, the plot wouldn’t be awful; it was a story about magical girls fighting evil. Even if it didn’t break new ground, it could still stick the landing perfectly.

Just then, Mo Qiuli ran over, looking visibly anxious.

“Ye Yao, I’m so nervous. If I mess this up, I’ll lose all face as a magical girl.”

“Hmm, you can solve that problem by transforming.

Besides, Little Mo, you’re a veteran now. Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi are the rookies here. As a senior, you need to step it up~”

Talk about a complete reversal!

Ye Yao patted Mo Qiuli’s little head, offering her full recognition and encouragement.

And sure enough, Mo Qiuli looked utterly invigorated.

“That’s right, I’m a senior. I absolutely have to set a good example!”

Meanwhile, on the other side.

A group of people seemed to have formed a circle around something.

Without a doubt, it was Lou Wei and Fu Qi, who had already used their props.

At this moment, they were in the forms of Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi. Still untransformed and in regular clothes, they were petite yet gave off a surprisingly mature vibe.

The aura of an adult placed onto a child’s body was simply too overpowering.

Right now, Fang Ze and the others were gathered around, scrutinizing them.

“Incredible… Just by looking with the naked eye, there’s not a single flaw. Who could tell they have anything to do with Lou Wei and Fu Qi? Apart from their aura, they’ve completely become different people.”

Xiao Jing covered her mouth and giggled. “So adorable. This is definitely much easier on the eyes.”

Chen Wan Ting nodded in agreement. “Worth taking photos as a keepsake.”

Cheng Muxue clapped her hands together and suddenly suggested, “There’s bound to be a wrap-up group photo later, right? Lou Wei and Fu Qi should take it in these forms.”

Fu Qiqi was seething with anger but didn’t dare speak up.

“Go away. Stop crowding us.”

But the girl’s attempt to shoo them off held absolutely zero authority.

Her tone was serious enough, but her voice didn’t match at all.

The contrast with her original self made it even more amusing.

“I didn’t expect there to be a voice-changer feature too. Director, your voice is really nice now, and you look so young. Even I’m jealous.”

Chen Wan Ting’s comment made Fu Qiqi’s face darken.

She was, after all, the boss of this group.

Even if Ye Yao could usurp her position at any time, Fu Qiqi was still supposed to stay in charge for at least another decade or so.

What exactly had she done to make these people respect her so little?

Fu Qiqi was so angry that she… got a little angrier.

Endure!

Reaԁ on KаtRеαԁiոɡCαfе

Once this movie was over, the identity of ‘Fu Qiqi’ would have nothing to do with her anymore.

This was a necessary sacrifice for Ye Yao’s sake!

As for Lou Weiwei, she didn’t have as many thoughts running through her head.

She was simply feeling out this small body, hoping to gain power like her parallel world counterpart.

Unfortunately.

Only her appearance had changed; she hadn’t gained any overpowered abilities.

“Could it be that I have to transform first to get them?”

Lou Weiwei muttered to herself.

According to the glimpses from the parallel world, it seemed that only by using the transformation magic to become “Crimson Wheel” could she gain power equivalent to the Solar Corona Form.

She wondered if the tool Ye Yao gave her was the same as the one from that parallel world.

If it was, then it held some tactical value.

As for the change in appearance… compared to strategic worth, it was negligible.

“Let’s go, let’s go! Everyone, come over!”

Ye Yao’s voice interrupted Lou Weiwei’s thoughts.

“Oh well.”

At this point, there was no choice but to go through with it.

Ye Yao hadn’t invited many people; only the key figures. In any case, everyone who was recognized as family was here.

Even Tang Lulu had come to make her presence felt.

For the extras, Yi Ling could simply project them to fill in the crowd.

The very next moment.

At a single thought from Yi Ling, the painted city instantly bustled with people.

The once-lifeless metropolis became incredibly lively.

Those people weren’t mere illusions. They had real, tangible bodies.

The extras were all in place.

Even the first villain had been projected and was standing by.

It was a familiar face from the Bluestar Defense battle.

Fu Qiqi’s eyelid twitched.

They’re not even pretending anymore.

Are they afraid that people won’t recognize the Memory Spirit?

Of course, everyone else did recognize it.

They just chose to act oblivious and never pointed it out.

Since Ye Yao said she was “Yi Ling”, then she was just “Yi Ling”.

What did it matter if their abilities happened to overlap?

Any resemblance was purely coincidental!

Ye Yao stood at the center of the group, her gaze unwavering.

This time, she absolutely must not get too carried away.

She had to hold back a little. Otherwise, if she shone too brightly on screen, everything would be ruined.

She had set one goal first.

After the movie came out, Magical Girl Lullaby absolutely must not top the popularity charts!

Before anyone knew it.

About two or three weeks had passed.

The Magical Girl Movie had wrapped up production.

The family members Ye Yao had invited never made any mistakes. One could even say that it was one take all the way.

There was no surprise. They were even more professional than professional actors.

Their ability to get into character could be described as “instant method acting”.

This probably also had something to do with the filming environment and methods.

Many props and sets were consumable, and they could be casually destroyed with abilities.

As for the villains, there was no need to even mention them.

The villains projected by Yi Ling were genuinely formidable in their own way.

If Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi didn’t take it seriously, they couldn’t even put them down.

They fought from scenes of cityscapes to outer space, with no need for computer-generated special effects.

And the elite Espers had an incredibly subtle control over their own emotions.

At the very least, it was more than enough to fool the superhumans of this era.

All that remained was for Sen Tong to do some special processing on the footage.

And of course, they would have to go all out with top-tier soundtracks and scores.

In the end, all Ye Yao had to do was give the word, and it would be ready for release!

Back in the dormitory.

Ye Yao looked completely spent, as if she had been through some kind of ordeal.

“I’m not pure anymore…”

Even now, she still couldn’t forget those cringey lines she had said and the deliberately cute gestures she had made during the movie.

She had wanted to play a cool, aloof character like Crimson Wheel!

No need to act cute, just fighting monsters with style, looking every bit the adult.

Unfortunately, Magical Girl Lullaby was obviously of the ultra-adorable kind, and there was no way to be cool.

So, she had no choice but to play the good girl role.

Still, the thought that she wasn’t the only one making a fool of herself, especially with the Dayun Truck and her uncle there, cheered her up quite a bit.

Ugh, my cat is meowing hysterically again! Why does it do this the moment I get home? It seems to have anticipated my every move!
