Chapter 005
The crew provided Ming Wei, the female lead, with a dedicated nanny car, makeup artist, costume designer, etc., and also arranged an assistant.
The shooting started at nine in the morning. Ming Wei got up at 5:30 and went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast with her assistant at 6 o'clock. When she walked to the door of the restaurant, she bumped into Mu Tingzhou and Xiao Zhao coming out side by side.
"Good morning." Xiao Zhao greeted with a smile.
Ming Wei smiled back and glanced at Mu Tingzhou vaguely.
Mu Tingzhou was still arrogant and passed by her expressionlessly, treating her as nothing.
Thinking of the unexpected bet last night, Mingwei felt a little heavy.
"Mu Tingzhou is so dedicated, he went to the set so early." The assistant kept tilting her head, watching the two movie stars really leave the hotel, she couldn't help but admire in a low voice. In the film and television industry, the higher the status, the more privileges you enjoy.
Well, many big names have the problem of being late and leaving early. If a super-famous actor like Mu Tingzhou can come on time to start filming, the director will be very moved.
Ming Wei originally thought she got up very early, but it was only half an hour before she was beaten by Mu Tingzhou.
Maybe in Mu Tingzhou's mind, she has another crime of "getting up late"?
She didn't have much appetite, so Mingwei only ate a small piece of bread and a cup of hot milk. When she got to the nanny's car, Mingwei immediately applied a facial mask according to the makeup artist's instructions to save time for putting on makeup.
Even so, because of the special nature of the costume look, Ming Wei still sat there for two hours before the makeup artist was satisfied with the work.
"Weiwei's ancient costumes are more beautiful than modern ones!" the assistant praised in surprise, covering her face with her hands.
This is completely sincere and has no element of flattery.
Mingwei's mother comes from a guzheng family, and several people in the family tree were court musicians. Later, the family declined, but the guzheng craft was passed down from generation to generation. There is a tea ceremony for tea, and there is a guzheng way. If you want to be a real guzheng artist
, in addition to playing the guzheng well, you also need to have decent etiquette, facial features, and every gesture. In her childhood, Mingwei experienced her mother’s gentle but strict teachings and a long period of exposure. Grace and elegance have been deeply imprinted on her every move.
On the move.
Although Mingwei did not choose to be a professional guzheng artist, she has perfectly inherited the classical temperament of her grandfather's family. Now she has put on ancient clothes, her skin is like grease, her eyebrows are dark, and she is standing there with a smile, she looks like a lady from ancient times.
Come from time and space to show everyone the charm of classical beauty.
The entire dressing room staff were stunned.
Ming Wei turned around and saw herself in the mirror. Her heart, which was weighed down by Mu Tingzhou, suddenly regained its joy.
She did join the group to make extra money, but that doesn't mean she wants to fool the audience. Her appearance and temperament are her innate advantages, and she will give them full play. As for her acting skills, she has just started and has zero foundation, but she will work hard to improve herself and strive to
Give it to the crew the best result she can give at the moment.

On the set, Mu Tingzhou, who had put on makeup an hour in advance, had already started filming. It was an indoor scene. Only he and a courtier were in the supporting role in the shot, but there were a bunch of staff around him. In the costume drama, the lines are literary and artistic, and the supporting actor forgets his lines.
After being stuck for several times, Mu Tingzhou looked natural and his lines were accurate, just like an ancient person. Moreover, Mu Tingzhou was very patient at work and did not show any displeasure due to the mistakes of the supporting actor.
When Mingwei came over to watch the show, Mu Tingzhou was confronting the supporting actor. He was dressed in dark ancient clothes, and his long hair was fixed with a hosta. His usual aloofness and looseness completely disappeared, turning into the majesty of a powerful official in the court. They were both training people, at this time
But Mu Tingzhou cannot remind Ming Wei of Mu Tingzhou last night. He seems to be a completely different person. He is no longer the actor Ming Wei has interacted with twice, but the chief minister of the cabinet who lives in the plot.
, the strategizing master.
Mingwei instantly fell into the drama and Mu Tingzhou's drama.
She became a complete spectator, immersed in Mu Tingzhou's performance.
Mu Tingzhou is also in the play. A person's life is limited, and he likes to incarnate into various roles and experience various meaningful lives. He knows that there are many staff around him, including the camera hanging opposite, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of life.
He was so accustomed to the shooting environment that he forgot about their existence. But when he finished lecturing his political opponents and was about to return to his seat, the moment he turned around, a figure diagonally opposite him unexpectedly broke into his conscious mind.
The man was dressed as a girl, with only a pink rose in her thick black bun. She had delicate eyebrows and a sweet face. She was standing in the crowd wearing a lotus pink palace dress and looking at him. Her clear and obsessed eyes suddenly awakened the thoughts in his mind.
Princess Minghua. Before this glance, Princess Minghua was just a character in his mind, with a vague charm. Yun had no clear image. After this glance, Princess Minghua came to life. Mingwei really suited her.
Withdrawing his gaze, Mu Tingzhou made a "stuck" gesture to the director and asked for a reshoot of the turning scene.
Director Zhang was confused. The focus of this scene was on the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two ministers. Mu Tingzhou's performance was as perfect as ever. What was wrong? Director Zhang went back and replayed it. Even the turning shot requested by Mu Tingzhou, he didn't find anything wrong.
Seeing that the others were also puzzled, Director Zhang raised his head from behind the monitor and asked why.
As the "sinner" who caused Mu Tingzhou to lose his mind, Ming Wei was unaware of it and looked at Mu Tingzhou intently, waiting for the answer. Although she was disgusted with Mu Tingzhou's arrogance, Ming Wei truly admired the actor's acting skills.
"It doesn't feel right." Mu Tingzhou said ambiguously.
Director Zhang was speechless and silently attributed it to the actor having too high demands on himself.
Mu Tingzhou devoted himself to the second shooting. Afterwards, Director Zhang compared the two clips and replayed them several times. He finally discovered a difference. The reshoot actually saved half a second compared to the first shot, but he racked his brains.
I didn't even guess what Mu Tingzhou wasted in that half second.
The indoor scene that Mu Tingzhou filmed in his free time ended, and it was Ming Wei's turn for her first filming, which was also her first scene opposite Mu Tingzhou.
Ming Wei was a newcomer, and Director Zhang was very considerate and chose a relatively simple scene for Ming Wei's debut to help Ming Wei develop her confidence.
The sunshine in April in the south of the Yangtze River was bright, and the "Imperial Garden" was full of flowers and picturesque. Suddenly, a sweet voice came from behind the lush flower trees: "Does it look good?"
"It's beautiful. The princess is more beautiful than the fairies in the sky."
Accompanied by the compliments of the palace maid, a beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen years old walked out from the cobblestone path covered by flower trees. She was wearing a lotus pink dress, with white skin and red lips, a bright smile, a rose flower on her head, and a
She also held a wicker in her hand and swayed it gently, looking back and forth at the flowers on the road, carefree.
While walking, a butterfly suddenly flew out of the flowers. Princess Minghua's eyes lit up, she turned around and said "shh" to the two palace maids, and then followed the butterfly forward on tiptoe. The butterfly flew and flew, and slowly landed on the ground.
On a Yaohuang peony, Princess Minghua smiled happily and moved closer to her more carefully. Seeing that her slender hand was about to touch the butterfly, someone suddenly spoke around the corner: "Master, please come this way."
Princess Minghua seemed oblivious and continued to stare at the butterfly, but the butterfly was frightened and flew away, never being able to reach it again.
Princess Minghua, who had been pampered and pampered since she was a child and had never suffered any injustice, finally became unhappy and looked forward with a sullen face.
"Hey, the princess is here to enjoy the flowers." The eunuch leading the way was a celebrity around the emperor. Seeing that the princess was not so restrained, he smiled and bent down to say hello.
Princess Minghua still pouted until she saw the tall man next to the eunuch. He was wearing a dark purple official robe. He was calm and restrained. Although he lowered his head in salute, there was no trace of servility on his straight eyebrows, and his handsome facial features were even more outstanding.
More than anyone Princess Minghua has ever met.
A handsome man successfully diverted the attention of the cardamom girl.
Princess Mingwei unconsciously plucked the willow branches in her hand, stared at the man in purple robe, and used an unhappy voice to cover up her deep interest: "Who are you?"
The man in purple robe took a step forward, lowered his head and replied: "Wei Chen Mu Yun, I have met the princess." His voice was calm and low.
Taking advantage of the fact that the other party did not dare to look at her, Princess Minghua looked at him unscrupulously.
The silence was too long. Mu Yun didn't move his head, raised his eyes, and saw the princess's skirt embroidered with peach blossoms. The leading eunuch realized something was wrong, bent forward, and reminded with an apologetic smile: "Princess, the master has come with an order.
, the emperor is still waiting in the pavilion."
Princess Minghua was obviously reluctant to let go of this man who brought freshness to her boring life. She moved the willow branches with her right hand and Jiao Didi hummed: "You scared away my butterflies, give me one immediately, or I won't let you go.
."
"This..." The eunuch was in a dilemma. The emperor was waiting, but Princess Minghua was spoiled and he didn't dare to offend her.
Looking at the motionless and expressionless Master Taifu beside him, the eunuch sighed, smiled and asked the princess to wait while he went to catch the butterfly.
"Why don't you go?" Princess Minghua asked arrogantly, but because the two of them were alone, she became nervous and did not dare to look directly at the Taifu.
Mu Yun straightened up, lowered his eyes and explained: "The butterfly was Eunuch Li who scared away. I admit that I am not guilty."
Princess Minghua snorted, raised her chin and glared at him: "I said you are guilty, you are guilty, go and catch butterflies for me."
Mu Yun finally raised his head, his gaze passing over Princess Minghua's dazzling face and unexpectedly falling on her head.
Misunderstanding that the man was looking at her, Princess Minghua's eyes were watery, and she shyly wanted to turn her head away before moving, and he raised his hand suddenly.
Princess Minghua backed away in fright, and just as she was about to reprimand, she saw a goose-yellow butterfly in the hand of the man who was standing still.
"You left early."
While Mingwei was waiting for Mu Tingzhou to say her next line, Mu Tingzhou walked out of the play, put down his empty hands that needed to be added with post-production special effects to add butterflies, and ruthlessly pointed out Mingwei's mistakes.
Mingwei's face turned red, and her hands in her sleeves trembled nervously.
