“Action!”

With the director's order, Song Youyuan's first scene began.

This was her first acting experience, aside from filming music videos for her songs. After her previous failed attempts at acting, she felt she wasn't cut out for it. Hopefully, she won't get a bad scolding from the director!

The first scene was shot when the courtesan Fo Qingyu rescued the female protagonist Nan Mingyue, who was disguised as a man, from the river behind the brothel. The protagonist of this scene was Fo Qingyu, which means that she was the main character of the scene.

Can I see her all at once?

If she can't pass it in one go, the heroine will have to fall into the water again and again. This is not a trivial matter, and others may think that she did it on purpose.

She can't resist those weird marketing tactics, so she must take them seriously.

The back window of the flower building faces west. The Buddha's face is half covered with a light jade veil, her hands are slender, and her eyes are charming like a flowing spring, showing her graceful demeanor. She does not have the worldly feeling of a courtesan, but instead looks like a fairy concubine in the palace, unattainable and fascinating.

Suddenly, in the distance, swords crisscrossed, their cold gleams flashing. This was indeed the norm in this seemingly austere capital. The common people, upon hearing it, became numb. It wasn't that they didn't care, but in this world, saving one's own life was the most important thing. Less trouble was better than more.

With a "splash" sound, someone fell into the Hou River in front of Fo Qingyu. She lowered her eyes to look down, her expression changed, and she asked someone to fish 'him' out.

Normally, she was not a kind person, and she was also a courtesan, so she had no capital to be kind. She had worn this title for three years and it was best for her to protect herself and not care about anything else.

But this time, she saw the young man who fell into the river. His face was as pale as the white jade hanging around her waist, and there were bloodstains on his neck. He looked both horrifying and pitiful.

She remembered the snow-white Persian cat she had raised before. It came from a foreign land thousands of miles away and was given to her by a young man. She accepted it because it was so cute.

However, the Persian cat probably didn't want to leave home and come here! After arriving, it refused to eat or drink, and died soon after!

She was heartbroken for a while.

This time, the young man below made her feel heartbroken.

This saved him.

She has been working in the brothel for many years, so she has some rights.

The man was rescued, and the maid changed his clothes. She also knew that he was actually her.

She felt a little disappointed, but it was okay. With her current identity, even if it was 'him', what difference would it make?

Many nobles wanted to take her as their concubine, but she refused to do so. Even if she was living in a brothel, she still kept a fantasy in her heart that no other woman of that era dared to think about.

However, she knew she was not worthy of the situation and now had no intention of getting married.

Fo Qingyu stood beside the bed and looked at the girl she rescued. She felt that this girl was really good. She had changed out of men's clothes and put on girls' clothes, but it couldn't hide her temperament which was different from that of a lady from a noble family. She was unrestrained and free, but at the same time, she was more dignified and elegant than the women in the martial arts world.

Like a white peony!

She should be envious and jealous. For a moment, Fo Qingyu's expression was complicated.

Nan Mingyue woke up, remaining alert to the unknown environment, and looked at Fo Qingyu.

The first scene ends here.

"Card!"

The director called for a halt, his tone tinged with laughter as he said, "I didn't expect a newcomer like You Yuan to perform so well. There was a shot where you looked at Nan Mingyue with a bit more affection. I think you should have liked it a little more, but not too much..."

The director hadn't expected this new idol to perform so well. While he felt Song Youyuan would be a good fit for Fo Qingyu's character, it was her first acting experience, so no one could predict how she would perform. He had been prepared to wait and see before filming began. Unexpectedly, she gave him a surprise.

Since she has some talent, he is willing to give her some guidance. After all, looking at the girl's face and her company, as long as her acting is not too bad, the possibility of her becoming a big star is very high. Naturally, he is willing to make this good relationship.

"I know, Director!"

Song Youyuan took a deep breath. Seeing the director's deep affection, she should have performed well and the heroine would not have to fall into the water again.

Come on, Song Youyuan!

Re-recording this scene, she imagined her expression when looking at the kitten, as if the heroine in front of her was a kitten, whom she liked but could not love.

You have to strike the right balance.

This was relatively simple for her and went very smoothly. After her scene was over, she felt like she had found some joy in acting.

After the filming, Ye Ruo also changed her opinion of the new idol that the company was promoting. Before, she just did it to please the company, but now she really admired this young idol.

Song Youyuan spent the entire day on the set. Although she was more interested in the stage and singing, she had to do her best in any role she took. Besides, acting was fun now. It was fun, making money, and it would increase her exposure, allowing her to quickly reach the top of the industry. Why not?

In the evening, the crew finished filming.

The filming of the crew went smoothly today and did not drag on until very late. Since Song Youyuan got an assistant, Li Jun no longer has to take on two jobs. The job of picking up and dropping off Song Youyuan to and from work is now entirely Li Mingming's job.

The two little girls also became familiar with each other during this period of contact. Song Youyuan is the boss, so naturally she has the final say.

It's still early and she doesn't want to stay at home. It's her first time on the crew, and she joined the crew of "The Legend of Ming Yue" right away, so she didn't have a good time to explore.

This film and television city is also a tourist attraction. Although she lived in Shanghai before and it was quite close to the film and television city, she had never been there. This time she had the time, so she had to take a good look around.

Song Youyuan looked at the scenic spots within reach, his eyes filled with excitement. He immediately discussed with his assistant: "Mingming, let's go inside and take a look!"

Li Mingming looked at her boss and was a little hesitant. Logically, it was Song Youyuan who paid her salary, so she should listen to her. However, Brother Li was Youyou's assistant. Brother Li had instructed her not to take Youyou around, to keep an eye on her and to ask her to eat less to maintain her figure.

Li Mingming hesitated for a moment: "Youyou, Brother Li said that you can't go anywhere else..."

Song Youyuan looked at the assistant beside her. Li Jun had instructed her so it was understandable that she hesitated, but she had to remember that she was Song Youyuan's assistant and everything should be based on her. This was just a small matter and it didn't matter whether she went or not. It could be seen from the small that it was a big deal. Don't blame her for the trouble. After all, no matter how good the company was, it was not a charity. No one was a fool in the entertainment industry. She didn't want to be stabbed in the back by the people around her.

So she made up her mind that she had to change this time.
