Chapter 29, Scene 1
Chapter 29, Scene 1
The next morning, Ling Xia had a scene with Lu Yingdi, so she arrived at the set early to prepare her makeup and hair.
The film crew was in a very large film and television city. I heard that this film and television city was specially built for the Warring States Policy film crew. This is quite a large-scale production.
This film and television city is quite large, magnificent, and imposing. It is said that it can be rented to other film crews in the future.
As for why their scenes were scheduled for so early in the morning, Ling Xia overheard a rumor in the dressing room that this scene was originally intended for Shen Peipei and Lu Yingdi.
Because the female lead didn't arrive, there was no opening ceremony for the TV series.
The director arranged the filming directly, but Shen Peipei couldn't accept getting up early, so Ling Xia was arranged to take over, and all of Shen Peipei's scenes were scheduled for noon or afternoon.
The crew had to redo the set design.
As a popular actor, the crew was understanding, but they were secretly furious.
They got up before dawn, only to be told that this scene wouldn't be filmed today and they had to move back. It was really frustrating.
Xia had no objections when she fell, while Tian Tian excitedly searched for her idol. But director Cheng Wanli was in a terrible mood. Yes, this second female lead was also a gift from the investors.
If Shen Peipei weren't a talented actress and a rising star, Cheng Wanli would have been extremely unwilling.
The Warring States Policy IP is too big. When it was being planned, various companies tried to put people into the production team. Through personal connections, Cheng Wanli turned a blind eye to it.
After the incident with Ni Chang a while ago, Cheng Wanli experienced firsthand the tactics employed by various companies.
The director had a gloomy face all morning because of the second female lead's situation, and on top of that, there was an even more serious villain, Lu Bowen, waiting for them. Sister Zhao looked at Ling Xia with a worried expression.
Everyone knows that the first scene on set is very important; it determines whether the subsequent filming will go smoothly and whether the crew will be in a good mood.
Unexpectedly, Ling Xia participated in the first performance without any preparation.
Ling Xia, on the other hand, was very relaxed and did not feel tense at all because she was about to act opposite the big boss.
Lu Bowen arrived at the filming location on time. His entourage was not large. Unlike the big-name celebrities often reported in entertainment news, who travel with a dozen or so staff members and a large number of security guards.
Lu Bowen was only accompanied by an agent and an assistant. It was simply outrageous. Even Ling Xia had an extra bodyguard.
Actor Lu is very strict when working, especially when it comes to punctuality. Therefore, everyone who has worked with him, including actors and staff, has never been late.
Lu Bowen was very tough on the spot, and Shen Peipei was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle him, so she found a reason to have the annoying Ling Xia film the first scene with Lu Bowen, just to let Ling Xia experience the terror of the big devil.
When Ling Xia saw Lu Bowen arrive, she quickly stood up to greet him. Lu Bowen was about to go to the dressing room to get his hair and makeup done when he saw that Ling Xia was finished. He immediately said, "Let's go to the dressing room together to rehearse our lines."
Lu Bowen and Ling Xia went through dozens of pages of the script one after another without missing a single line, showing that they had memorized the lines thoroughly.
Lu Bowen's dressing room is a very large place. Even if there are more than 10 people in the room, it will not feel crowded. This is the status of a top actor.
Seeing the two acting like elementary school students, Sun Peng couldn't laugh anymore. He knew that Lu Bowen was a pervert, but he didn't expect Ling Xia to be a little pervert as well.
This is terrifying.
"The lines were good. I'm looking forward to our collaboration," Lu Bowen said to Ling Xia in a cheerful mood.
Tian Tian said, "I'm really looking forward to it too. I'm so happy to see my idol so close. He even smiled at me just now."
Tian Tian touched Ling Xia from behind, and Ling Xia turned around and the two exchanged glances.
Sister Lingxia, hurry up! My idol is leaving soon.
It's not like we'll never see each other again, it has to be today.
Tian Tian nodded emphatically, "I don't want to wait a moment longer today."
Then why don't you just take it yourself?
I... hurry up.
The two exchanged glances.
Ling Xia touched her hair, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lu Yingdi spoke up, "Is there anything else?"
"Could I have an autographed photo of you?" Ling Xia suddenly avoided looking at Lu Bowen. "My friend really likes you." At this, Ling Xia suddenly blushed.
Lu Bowen always gets autographed photos whenever he goes to the film set. He doesn't care much and gently says, "Brother Sun, take out a few of the autographed photos you prepared."
Sun Peng understood. Oh, Ling Xia is also a fan. She's been keeping it a secret for a long time.
Ling Xia: No, I didn't.
Tian Tian: Smiling.jpg, keeping her achievements hidden.
……
The original owner became famous because of a campus idol drama, and afterwards all she acted in were variety shows. No one had ever seen Ling Xia seriously filming a drama, and many people in the crew wanted to see Ling Xia make a fool of herself.
This scene depicts the male protagonist, Ji Han, being chased and killed, while Ni Chang, Ji Han's trump card, appears as an assassin to rescue him.
Filming officially began. A group of men in black galloped through the forest in the early morning light. Leading them was an elegant woman dressed in night clothes. The woman was beautiful, but her eyes were unusually sharp.
The face appearing on camera was completely expressionless. Several cameras were filming Ling Xia from different angles, and the staff behind the camera shooting a close-up of her face were momentarily stunned. Ling Xia's beauty radiated a captivating charm in every movement.
The next moment, the black-clad female warrior descended from the sky with a sword in hand. Her black hair was tied high with a ribbon, and her pretty face was as cold as ice, exuding extreme danger.
Her sword strikes were swift and decisive, a single blow to the throat, a deadly move. Her eyes were sharp and cold, showing no emotion towards her enemies.
As the sword rose and the blade fell, crimson liquid splattered onto Ling Xia's face, making her appear exceptionally alluring.
"Master, I am late," Ni Chang said, kneeling before the person in the carriage after dealing with the assassin.
A corner of the carriage curtain was moved, revealing a handsome scholar. The scholar's eyes were calm, as if the scene just now was insignificant.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you dressed like this," the voice said gently.
Ni Chang looked up at the scholar, her cold gaze seemingly softening with a hint of belonging.
The director, sitting behind the monitor and watching the two actors' scenes together, exclaimed that they had great chemistry.
In the Warring States period, Ji Han and Ni Chang were subordinate to each other. In the live-action version, we saw their tacit understanding. Even though they didn't make any unnecessary expressions, you would naturally sigh with admiration.
The director couldn't help but marvel at Shen Peipei's remarkable achievement.
"Cut! That's a wrap," the director said with satisfaction.
This scene was completed in one take, so smoothly that it exceeded everyone's expectations.
The two worked together seamlessly, with perfect chemistry, as if they had collaborated a million times.
The morning's scenes were almost all filmed in one take, which surprised the crew members who looked at Ling Xia. After all, Lu Yingdi's acting skills were widely recognized, but this was the first time Ling Xia had done it.
After all, a successful shoot means no more working overtime at night.
Ling Xia's strength was recognized by everyone.
Ling Xia, who didn't have any scenes to film in the afternoon, didn't leave. Instead, she found a small stool and sat on the side of the set to watch the other actors film.
Because the afternoon's scenes were all solo performances by Actor Lu.
Ling Xia and Tian Tian watched Lu Yingdi film like two little fangirls. Of course, they weren't the only ones; almost all the female staff members of the crew came to watch.
The two of them didn't stand out at all in the crowd.
