Jiang Yixing's scenes all have to follow the lead actor's pace, and today Jiang Yixing's first scene is a scene with Zheng Lianfang.
Zheng Lianfang changed into his costume, and as the male lead emperor, he already exuded an imposing and dignified aura after changing his appearance.
Only when Jiang Yixing stood truly in front of him did he realize the pressure he exuded.
Jiang Yixing found it amazing. He was clearly a kind person in real life, but now he could give her the feeling of meeting the Great Elder.
Is this... acting?
At the director's command, Zheng Lianfang's gaze toward Jiang Yixing was filled with coldness, typical of a superior's indifference. He treated others well as a favor, while others treated him well as a matter of course.
Jiang Yixing leaned against the railing, dressed in the attire of a palace banquet. A beautiful woman under the moon, sitting alone in loneliness.
Jiang Wei circled around from behind to Rongfei's side, accompanied by his personal guards and eunuchs. The sound of their footsteps startled Tong Tong, who turned around and immediately saw Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei was also stunned by her beauty when she turned around, and his eyes finally showed some interest.
Missing home?
Zheng Lianfang's voice was gentle and reasonable, while Jiang Wei's voice was full of energy.
Tong Tong avoided the question and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty."
The moonlight was beautiful, but not as beautiful as a painting. Jiang Wei softened his voice, "If you miss home, come find Zheng."
“Your Majesty,” Tong Tong raised her eyes, her gaze radiating tenderness. This address of “Your Majesty” made Jiang Wei’s heart flutter. “This concubine does not miss home. Wherever Your Majesty is, that is my home.”
As a princess of a nation, Tong Tong possessed a strong sense of political awareness, and she could not ignore Jiang Wei's casual remark.
Now that she had married Jiang Wei, she could no longer have her own country in her heart.
Jiang Wei's eyes darkened, his expression unreadable. "Hmm."
At that moment, Zheng Lianfang's demeanor suddenly changed, and the previously tender atmosphere instantly became tense.
Consort Rong, however, seemed oblivious, bowing her head in silence.
Gu Ruini and Bai Mochuan were watching the scene from the sidelines. Bai Mochuan felt a chill run down his spine. Teacher Zheng Lianfang's aura was truly formidable; it was terrifying.
He glanced at Jiang Yixing with some concern. Jiang Yixing was still acting out the scene of Consort Rong's silence. He hoped that she could continue with the next scene.
Bai Mochuan began to imagine himself acting opposite Zheng Lianfang, and he instantly shuddered. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he was playing a pampered son, without any of the undercurrents between them.
Deng Yancheng held the megaphone, his eyes fixed on the screen, ready to call a halt at any moment. Up to this point, the performances of the previous two performers had been excellent.
The audience noticed Zheng Lianfang's sudden increase in momentum, and Jiang Yixing naturally sensed it as well.
She put aside the sense of familiarity and continued delivering her lines.
Tong Tong raised her head, her beautiful eyes sparkling, her long eyebrows slightly furrowed. Upon seeing this face, no matter how many thoughts were in his heart, he couldn't express them. "Your Majesty."
Everything was understood without words. Jiang Wei smiled and looked at Consort Rong for a moment before saying, "Consort Rong, next time you sit alone, don't lean on the railing."
Even when Jiang Wei was happy, he never let his guard down. His words expressed both his concern for Consort Rong and a warning to her to be careful in every aspect of the palace.
As for how Consort Rong understood it, no one knew. Now, with Jiang Wei's words, much of the worry on her face dissipated, and she raised her phoenix eyes, "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."
Deng Yancheng exhaled, clenched his fists and pressed down, "Good, this scene is good!"
As soon as the director yelled "Cut!", Bai Mochuan was the first to praise, "Jiang Yixing, you're really strong. You're not afraid of powerful people and you can control yourself perfectly."
Zheng Lianfang was also somewhat surprised. Jiang Yixing's performance was beyond his expectations. He hadn't realized that Jiang Yixing was actually a talented actor.
Jiang Yixing was completely unfazed by the immense pressure from Zheng Lianfang, and even managed to perform at the same level as in his usual practice, which truly surprised most of the people present.
After finishing his performance, Zheng Lianfang's gaze softened. "Very impressive."
Jiang Yixing smiled, her face radiant. "It's alright, it's alright. The main thing is that you just reminded me of an elder."
"An elder?" Zheng Lianfang looked strange. Did he look that old?
“Yes, she’s usually very strict, but actually has a very soft heart,” Jiang Yixing smiled and tilted her head. “She’s very cute.”
The Grand Elder is the most serious person in the sect and the strictest with the younger generation.
No one in the sect, from top to bottom, was afraid of him, but Jiang Yixing was the only one who dared to pull the tiger's whiskers. Others were afraid of him, but Jiang Yixing was not. Over time, they realized that the Grand Elder was indeed nothing to be afraid of.
He has his own set of rules for doing things, and as long as you don't step on his landmines, he won't do anything to you.
On the contrary, his soft side, which is usually hidden beneath his fierce exterior, is hard for people to discover.
Zheng Lianfang was momentarily stunned by Jiang Yixing's fleeting tenderness, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
For the rest of the time, Jiang Yixing waited outside the film set, watching them act, ready to be called upon at any moment.
Jiang Yixing has another scene to film today, which is with Tang Qian.
As a supporting character with limited screen time, Consort Rong spent most of her time in scenes with the male and female leads.
Jiang Yixing stopped in front of Tang Qian. She had changed into a different costume, a light pink long dress with a white gauze robe on top. Most of the pearl flowers had been removed, leaving only a gilded hairpin. She looked much more plain and simple.
Tang Qian plays the female lead, Jiang Huayuan. As the empress, Jiang Huayuan's daily attire is much more expensive. She wears a maroon long dress embroidered with large peonies, and two velvet beaded flowers in her hair. Her hair ornaments are all made of pure gold, making her extremely wealthy.
Despite her imposing appearance, Tang Qian had a gentle demeanor and smiled as she reassured Jiang Yixing not to be nervous. Her relaxed expression revealed her as a beautiful and intellectual older sister.
Tang Qian's acting style is completely different from Zheng Lianfang's. If Zheng Lianfang is like a sharpened sword, extremely sharp, then Tang Qian is like a smooth jade, not showing any sharpness, yet radiating charm.
Tang Qian's character, Jiang Huayuan, has complex feelings towards Consort Rong at this time. She pities this pitiful person on one hand, and is jealous of the emperor's past favoritism towards her on the other.
Tang Qian portrayed the progression of emotions and complex feelings vividly, yet she guided Jiang Yixing like flowing water in the performance, making their acting a natural and seamless process.
Jiang Yixing's favorability rating instantly soared. After filming, he showered Tang Qian with praise, complimenting everything from her acting skills to her beauty, making Tang Qian laugh with delight.
Zheng Lianfang, who was listening nearby, sensed something was off. "So you're just going to praise Tang Qian? I acted with you too, why didn't you praise my acting skills or my good looks?"
Zheng Lianfang teased half-jokingly, and Jiang Yixing turned to look at the two of them and said seriously, "Acting with you is like a bowstring being drawn taut, ready to be released, while acting with Sister Tang Qian is like a lock being opened, just right."
The two were stunned for a moment, then Tang Qian burst out laughing first, her gentle face breaking into a wide smile, "Brilliant! Acting with Zheng Lianfang is exhausting!"
Zheng Lianfang scratched his head, seemingly lost in thought. The more he thought about Jiang Yixing's description, the more apt it seemed.
