Chapter 237: Startup (I)



He was dressed in a black robe with gold threads, a raw jade hanging from his waist, a golden crown on his head, and black shoes with gold threads, and he came with noble and dignified steps.

The cold crimson lips curved up slightly, "Sorry, I'm late!"

Everyone hurriedly shook their heads and said, "It's not too late, not too late, not at all!"

Director Zhang clapped his hands and said loudly: "Alright, alright, let's start filming now——"

"Come on, let's shoot the first scene first, Mingchen's!"

High and steep, in the magnificent palace

The sunlight slowly refracts in and falls into the courtyard which is lush and verdant all year round.

Four Treasures of the Study, a Simple and Fragrant Study

The copywriter is opposite, sitting on a tall and wide chair

The man's slender white knuckles slowly turned over a page of paper.

The noble and cold face was raised along with the reflected sunlight, gradually revealing itself in the vivid landscape.

But a moment

The atmosphere between the study rooms suddenly shifted.

“Bang, bang, bang—”

“Bang, bang, bang—”

The knocks on the door were urgent and continuous.

"Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty?"

"Your Highness, this is bad news. News has come from the northwest that General Gu Bei died in the war!"

"What did you say?" The man opened the door in astonishment, his eyes full of shock.

The guard lowered his eyes heavily and said dejectedly, "It's true, Your Majesty! This matter has spread to Shengjing, and the whole country will know about it in an instant. Now the Gu Mansion is in chaos!"

Before he could finish his words, the tall figure in front of him walked away.

"Your Highness..." The guard's face changed, and he quickly grabbed the corner of his clothes and knelt down, crying loudly: "You can't go to the Gu Mansion now!"

"W...why?" His eyes turned red and his voice became hoarse.

The guard lowered his head, his voice trembling as he spoke, "His Majesty has issued an oral order, requiring all ministers of the third rank and above to proceed to the court to discuss countermeasures. There must not be a moment's delay!"

His figure froze, and his whole body felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds, unable to move an inch.

"Your Majesty! You must go to the palace to attend court now!"

"If it's too late, His Majesty will blame us, and the Cheng family can't afford it!"

"As for Miss Gu, Your Highness, please leave her to me without worry. I will definitely protect her for you!"

"Cut!" Director Zhang shouted.

Everyone laughed and clapped their hands, "Great acting, one take!"

"Alright, alright, let's clean up and go film Ruqing's scene next door!"

aside

The two little girls whispered in each other's ears, "Sister, he acted so well! Is he the actor who won the Grand Slam?"

"Of course, he's our senior, so his acting skills are impeccable!"

"So is he my sister's fiancé in the play?"

"You could say that now, my sister has to go filming. You better stay with Manager Yan, okay?"

"Yeah, don't worry, sister. I won't wander around."

"Well, okay, then sister will go over first--"

"Well, bye, sister!"

Inside Gu Mansion

A feeling of sadness and depression swept over the entire mansion.

The young lady of the Gu family, dressed in a purple ancient skirt, slowly knelt on the cushion in the ancestral hall.

The little face with red eyes, tears in its eyes, pale and thin, is so adorable.

With a tone of pain and despair, her red lips trembled as she spoke in a low voice, "Father..."

"Didn't you say you would come back safely?"

"Didn't you say that you would definitely recapture Yecheng?"

"Didn't you say that those rampant bandits wouldn't harm you?"

"Now then..."

"What my daughter heard wasn't true, was it?"

"Miss?" A maid from the mansion walked in, her eyes red as she sobbed, "Miss, when those people heard the news of the general's death, they packed up and left, taking away many valuable treasures from the Gu Mansion. What should we do now?"

"No... No... Father didn't lose the battle, and he didn't die!"

"Miss?!"

"I don't want to hear you, get out, get out!"

"Miss..." The maid burst into tears and pulled at her clothes to comfort her, "Don't be like this, don't be like this... It will be fine... Everything will be fine..."

She collapsed in despair, "Ah, ah, ah..."

"Okay, Ka-"

"Good acting!" Director Zhang called for a stop with a smile.

Yan Zhi and Zheng Tianen hurried over, took out tissues and were about to comfort the little girl, but they saw the little girl's face suddenly change. She wiped away her tears, and returned to her usual expression. She smiled and said, "How was my acting? Was it good?"

Yan Zhi: “…”

Zheng Tianen: “…”

Mingchen who came over: "..."

"How is it? Is it an exaggeration?"

Yan Zhi smiled and said, "That's not an exaggeration! Miss Luqing acted very well!"

"You can exit the show quickly!" A deep voice came from behind.

Several people turned their heads and asked, "Mr. Movie Emperor?"

He curled his lips and chuckled, "The girl was so quick to act that I was caught off guard!"

His expression changed in just one second.

The little girl lowered her head in embarrassment. "I, I'm just grasping the emotions of the characters in the play. It has nothing to do with me."

He nodded, his face showing a clear smile as he said, "Well, it's quite commendable to be able to do this."

The agent who came over: "..."

So being able to act quickly has become an advantage?

Yes, although it is not a shortcoming, but when did it become a point of praise?

"Brother Yi?" Yan Zhi looked over and nodded.

The two little girls also bowed their heads politely and said, "Hello, Brother Yi!"

The agent waved his hand and said, "Hello, I just came to tell you that Mingchen has to go film over there this afternoon, so we will shoot the solo scenes with Miss Tan and Miss Tang first."

Yan Zhi nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to Director Zhang about it. Thank you, Brother Yi!"

"You're welcome. This is Miss Tan's first time filming, and she got into the role so quickly. She grasped the character very well, much better than Mingchen's first time. Gong Company has found a good artist!"

"Brother Yi, you're joking. Mr. Movie Emperor is our Miss Ruqing's senior. In the future, please give Miss Ruqing more support!"

"Hahaha, yes, yes!" The agent glanced at the person next to him.

But his eyes were almost glued to the little girl.

He glared at him a few times, full of disappointment and warning.

Why do I need anyone to tell me this?

I’m almost going to post it myself!
