Shen Qinglan gave him a look and said nothing, silently putting the mobile phone into her pocket.
The two continued to stroll.
Finally, Shen Qinglan saw a place surrounded by a large number of people in front of her. It seemed that they had reached the place. Shen Qinglan and Fu Hengyi walked slowly past.
Indeed, as expected, the production team was filming. There were people outside to maintain order and there was no way to enter. Shen Qinglan didn"t feel reluctant to stand outside. Through the crowd, Shen Qinglan could clearly see the scene inside. Shen Qinglan did not know the person who was shooting now. She looked aside and saw Yu Xiaoxuan not far away.
Wearing a blue costume and holding a few pages of paper, she is looking down at it carefully. Qinglan thinks that she is reciting her lines. This time the makeup look is much more distracting than the last group of actors.
“Why don"t you go up and greet her?” Hengyi asked.
Shen Qinglan shook her head. She just came to take a look. Just as she was about to leave, she heard the director shouting Xiaoxuan"s name inside. Obviously, it was Xiaoxuan"s turn. Shen Qinglan halted and stayed behind.
On the set, hearing Director Li Liqun"s call, Xiaoxuan dropped her script and hurried up.
In this drama, the main story is about the Second Miss of the w.a.n.gfu; bullying the Third Miss. Xiaoxuan"s role is as the maid of the Third Miss. Because she was not satisfied with the fact that Second Miss was always bullying others, she attacked her for being unfair, and the Second Miss punished her accordingly.
Second Miss and Third Miss were played by newcomers selected from the same audition. They were all top students of Beijing Film Academy and had appeared in several unknown TV dramas before.
Even the actors who played their maids were all trained; only Xiaoxuan was the layman in acting.
The Third Miss appeared in the palace garden with her maid; Qing Yi. The Third Miss"s face was sad. Qing Yi looked at the sad face of her own young lady and was very angry. “Miss, it was clearly done by the Second Miss. Why didn"t you tell her off clearly back then?”
The Third Miss smiled wryly: “Qing Yi, you don"t understand. Second sister is a legitimate child. I am just a concubine"s daughter. So, what if I say it? Furen would never seek justice for me.”
“But, we can"t just suffer like this ah… Second Miss is going too far. If you keep retreating like this, Second Miss will only walk all over you."
The Third Miss frowned and berated softly: “Qing Yi, shut up. The Master"s right and wrongs are not what a handmaiden like you can talk about.”
Qing Yi closed her mouth in grievance.
“Ah… Third Younger Sister. What a coincidence. ” Behind her, Second Miss, with her servant girl; Fei Cui, walked over.
“Second Sister.” The Third Miss bent her knees slightly.
“Second Miss. ” Qing Yi followed in greeting respectfully.
The Second Miss looked at the Third Miss from above, “Third Younger Sister, let this sister congratulate you first.”
The Third Miss"s eyebrows creased a little, “I don"t know what Second sister is talking about.”
The Second Miss giggled, “this sister just came back from seeing mother and heard mother say to father that she had found a good engagement for you. You will become the wife of Liu Shangshu.”
As the Second Miss"s voice dropped, the Third Miss"s face turned white as a sheet of paper. Liu Shangshu is a minister of the household department and holds a high position, but he is already 50 years old this year. Old enough to be Third Miss"s grandfather.
“Congratulations to sister who will soon be the wife of a minister. haha… ”
“Second Miss, don"t be a liar here. The person that Madam talked about was you." Qing Yu said angrily, “you don"t want to marry Liu Shangshu, but pushed my Miss out. How can there be such a shameless person in the world?!”
When these words came out, there were two people that looked pale. The Third Miss was scared, and the Second Miss that was angry.
Her shaking finger pointed at Qing Yu, “So, a maid dares to interrupt when her master is speaking. Today, I"ll teach you how to behave. Fei Cui, slap her mouth!”
The servant girl; Fei Cui rolled up her sleeves and came up with a grim smile. Qing Yu wanted to run, but she was forced to stand up by two rough female servants and couldn"t get free.
Fei Cui delivered a slap. The crisp slap sound is heard in the studio. Even Shen Qinglan; who was standing outside, heard it.
She could feel that the person who was playing Fei Cui put her elbow into it, she was merciless. Sheng Qinglan"s willow eyebrows slightly wrinkled.
In the studio, Fei Cui slaps Qing Yu and she deflects her face. It should have been a backhand slap. But Fei Cui suddenly smiles, “director, I"m sorry, I was laughing.”
Director Li Liqun frowned, he was very unhappy but didn"t say anything. “Cut! Retake! Starting from the women pressing Qing Yi.” He saw the red mark on Xiaoxuan"s face, “makeup artist, make up for Xiaoxuan. ”
Yu Xiaoxuan covers her face and takes a silent look at the actress playing Fei Cui. The latter replies with an apologetic smile and say sincerely, “Xiaoxuan, sorry. I didn"t control my strength just now. Are you ok?”
“It"s fine. ”
“It"s good that you"re fine. I was afraid that I had hurt you. ”
The makeup artist applied makeup to Xiaoxuan and hissed softly at Xiaoxuan"s red cheek. The makeup artist frowned and said softly, “Are you stupid? When she hits you, you need to turn your head in the right direction. You need to know how to fake the angles, okay? Who would want to get firmly slapped like you?”
Yu Xiaoxuan smiled, “I"m inexperienced. Thank you for reminding me, so I won"t get slapped later.”
The makeup artist smiled. Xiaoxuan had a good temper and was hard-working. When there was no shoot, she often helped them doing what she could. everyone on the set liked the girl very much.
Starting up again, Fei Cui rolled up her sleeves, moving forward to Qing Yi. With a wave, Qing Yi"s face was slapped. Qing Yi conveniently turned her head. Although she escaped most of the strength, Fei Cui"s palm still swept her face.
Shen Qinglan clearly saw that Xiaoxuan"s face was white with pain, but she finished the scene silently. However, this scene alone was played back and forth four times, that is to say, the girl playing Fei Cui was deliberately slapping Xiaoxuan. Although the few times at the end were not as heavy as the first time.
Shen Qinglan stood outside the set, watching Xiaoxuan being hit again and again but not saying a word. For the first time, she regretted supporting her entering show business.
When the shoot ended, Shen Qinglan clearly saw that Xiaoxuan"s left face was completely swollen, and no amount of foundation could cover it up.
As a result, the director could only let Xiaoxuan rest for today and shoot the remaining scenes tomorrow.
“Let"s go.” Shen Qinglan said flatly, leaving the set with Fu Hengyi without looking for Xiaoxuan. She thought Xiaoxuan would never want her to see her this way.
After all, every time Xiaoxuan called her, she said that although she was tired, she was very happy and excited.
