Trial frame

  Zheng Qiudong is a well-known new director in the industry. He originally relied on a documentary about protecting the marine environment to directly win the Best Documentary Award at the Cannes Film Festival, becoming one of the country's powerful directors.

  He later filmed a series of documentaries, including "The Great Divide" which recorded the post-disaster reconstruction, and "On the Water's Edge" about drought and flood disasters. According to Mei Yu's memory, director Zheng Qiu is a true environmentalist, his films are very shocking, but basically there is no profit, this also makes him stand out in a world of paper wealth.

  In theory, he shouldn't be making such a commercial film. According to what Fang Zhenyi said earlier, Director Zheng seems to have been specially invited by someone called Wan Zong.

  In the midst of her confusion, she entered a large hall and was immediately pulled aside to a makeup room by several staff members after catching sight of the cameras and backdrop set up in the hall.

  Xu Wei'ai, dressed in a red robe, arrived at the dressing room ahead of her. Several dressers helped her change into a traditional Chinese costume - a bright red hanfu with a two-inch wide border on the collar, embroidered with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns. The long skirt trailed far behind her on the ground.

  Can't help but say, Xu Wei Ai is very suitable for this bright red dress. Her facial features are clear and radiant, and after makeup, she has a more three-dimensional look. When she's not smiling, she looks majestic and powerful, which suits the character Chen A Jiao well.

  Plum Rain changed into a light blue dress, the deep blue skirt was layered and rolled up to her body, the lower hem was like a spiral blue wave, the end of the skirt just covered her feet, the palace maid's clothes were naturally different from the queen's, this simple dress was more convenient for running back and forth.

  After changing into her costume, Mei Yu sat in front of the dressing mirror as required by the makeup artist. Looking at this slightly unfamiliar face in the mirror, Mei Yu involuntarily raised an eyebrow.

  Ange's five senses are gentle and elegant, but unfortunately lack edges and corners, which restricts her acting career in a subtle way. This kind of appearance is very suitable for the female lead in some tragic plays.

  If you play a modern city drama with a personality modern girl, it's very troublesome.

  The makeup artist's hands seemed to have magic, and in the blink of an eye, a woman dressed in ancient attire, as if she had just walked out of a classical painting, appeared before everyone. Everyone stopped what they were doing, holding their breath as they gazed at Mei Yu, including Xu Wei'ai who was no exception.

  Some people have a huge difference before and after makeup, it's very obvious, Angie is one of them, and Angie's face is especially suitable for ancient costume drama.

  Mei Yu was also stunned, she knew that Ange's foundation was good, with all five senses being outstanding, but she didn't expect that after putting on makeup, she would be so captivating, just like a real ancient beauty.

  Mei Yu quickly recovered from the shock, mischievously making various funny faces in front of the mirror, trying to make this face more vivid. As she made her various funny faces, the staff around her also woke up from their shock, one by one, their eyes scanning back and forth between Mei Yu and Xu Wei Ai, secretly comparing the ancient dress looks of these two girls.

  Xu Wei Ai's eyes widened, and she looked back one by one. The makeup artist and costume designer successively avoided her gaze. Mei Yu saw it in her eyes and thought to herself that Xu Wei Ai was indeed very queen-like and quite suitable for the role of Chen A Jiao.

  Xu Wei'ai turned her head and raised her chin defiantly at Mei Yu, saying proudly: "Let's go, we're going out to try on glasses."

  Mei Yu nodded silently and followed Xu Wei Ai from behind, carefully avoiding stepping on her skirt hem.

  Two people walked to the middle of the hall under Li Changwu's command, where a low couch was placed, a seat, and a deputy director with the surname Yu came forward, briefly explaining the plot in a few words.

  The two of them were going to shoot a scene where Chen A Jiao had just learned that Emperor Wu of Han had promoted the servant girl with the surname Wang to be his wife.

  Chen Ajiao was both delighted and jealous, this scene is a great challenge for the actor who plays Chen Ajiao. As for Mei Yu, she thought of her past interactions with Wang Furen when playing the role of Xiao Qian, needing to express happiness for her master while also having some hidden worries.

  Because the camera will mainly shoot Chen Ajiao, Xiaoxian's role in the lens is basically a flash, the best way is to keep her head down, not seeking credit, but seeking no fault.

  Mei Yu didn't do that, she thought even if it's a supporting role, she should give it life, only when all the roles are vivid can a play give the audience a real and believable feeling.

  As she began, Mei Yu quickly got into character. She bowed her head, but her face was raised, with tears welling up in her eyes. A smile took up half of her palm-sized face, and her mouth opened and closed, as if she had something to say but couldn't bring herself to speak.

  The theater was silent, with everyone staring at this newcomer girl, stunned by her genuine expression.

  Among them, Xu Wei'ai's portrayal of Chen Ajiao was the most impressive.

  Xu Wei Ai gritted her teeth and suddenly took a step forward, just in time to block Mei Yu in front of the camera's dead angle.

  This behavior is called "stealing the scene" in filmmaking terminology.

  Many veteran actors will use their experience to cleverly strike at newcomers, using props and positioning to block the camera's angle, making the newcomer appear fragmented and incomplete on screen.

  At this time, even if the director is aware of it, he cannot say anything, because this subtle sniping behavior does not violate the game rules.

  However, Xu Wei Ai was too obvious this time, even Zheng Qiu behind the camera frowned.

  Before he could speak, Xu Wei Ai suddenly clutched her waist with both hands and burst out laughing, her expression manic. Although she was laughing, it didn't make people feel happy, but instead carried a kind of wild madness.

  She laughed with her body leaning forward and backward, following the swing of her long gown, her beautiful figure was fully displayed, and the staff on the scene were all attracted by her. For a while, everyone forgot about Mei Yu's stunning performance just now.

  Xu Wei Ai's loud laughter came to an abrupt halt, a smile still on her face, as a single tear slowly rolled down from the corner of her eye, perfectly portraying the sorrow of a fallen queen.

  In the midst of silence, a faint sobbing sound suddenly came from behind Xu Wei'ai. Everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to look at what was behind Xu Wei'ai. From Zheng Qiu's angle, only half of the beautiful shoulder could be seen, heaving up and down with the sobs, mysteriously attracting people.

  Xu Wei'ai's face twitched, the crazy jealousy and the joy of successful plotting twisted the empress's face, she turned around and roared, "What are you crying about, this palace is not dead yet!"

  “cut！”

  Zheng Qi's loud voice ended the scene's filming, and the assistant director rushed over with two bottles of water in hand, fairly distributing one to each of the two actresses. The crew began chatting and laughing, praising the lead actress's excellent performance earlier, and everyone now had confidence in this TV series.

  PS, updates will resume today. This month, we'll be doing a副本 called the New Book Potential List, which requires everyone to use their recommendation tickets to defeat about twenty bosses and take home the chrysanthemum as a souvenir. To enhance the combat power of our little sisters, I'll be using a buff called "隔日双更" (every other day double update). Once we complete the task and enter the top fifteen, this book will level up and gain the skill "每日双更" (daily double updates).

  Alright, many girls probably don't play games. To put it simply, in July, I'll be making a push for the new book potential rankings. There's only this one month, so please support me with recommendation tickets. After this month, they won't be useful anymore. Starting tomorrow, I'll be updating every other day, and if I can climb to 15th place on the new book rankings, I'll immediately update twice a day.
