Director Cang Shu has always been very individualistic, but this time his individuality was too much, beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding. Everyone who saw the audition results, whether they were selected or not, began to have doubts.
However, regardless of doubts or not, casting, special training, and filming were quickly put on the agenda. Because of the highest level of confidentiality clauses, everyone entered a secret special training and filming stage. Those who were selected disappeared collectively, and those who were not selected did not care as long as they saw no news.
The crew, actors and extras gathered at the same time and entered an unfamiliar dreamy ancient city in the southwest of Huadu. Makeup, training, familiarity with the script, and lines, everything was so unfamiliar that before they could get over the shock of it all, Zhu Jin suddenly appeared and gave face-to-face communication and guidance on some roles.
At this point, everyone felt that it would be unforgivable if they didn’t become popular this time.
At the same time, Lian Qiao also successfully entered the crew of a fashion drama and began her short acting career. When Lian Qiao was not facing Zhu Jin, her personality was actually very good and generous. She was beautiful and had a good background. She became very popular some time ago and quickly became friends with the crew.
Lian Qiao felt that the male actor who played opposite her was more handsome than her boyfriend, but she intuitively felt that he was a little cold towards her.
For Lian Qiao, who has been beautiful and pampered by boys since she was a child, that kind of deliberate coldness to reflect her personality is very familiar, and this polite coldness is very fresh... In the next few days, Lian Qiao couldn't help observing him in the crew, and the more she watched, the more interesting she found him.
During the break, Lian Qiao was told by her grandfather to volunteer at the orphanage early in the morning and take photos. Lian Qiao reluctantly completed the task, but unexpectedly ran into the actor. Lian Qiao was very happy to see an ordinary man wearing a hat, and excitedly ran over to pat his shoulder, "Mai Mendong! Are you here to volunteer too?"
"Hmm..." Mai Mendong lowered his head, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, he raised his head and looked at Lianqiao unexpectedly, cold and surprised, "You too?"
"Yes, that's great!" Lian Qiao smiled very happily.
Lian Qiao's good news for the whole morning disappeared instantly when he saw the news about Helian Zhen. Helian Zhen appeared in front of the public again, and his appearance was so special that it instantly became the headlines.
"…The real princess, who has not appeared in public for a long time, suddenly appeared in a primary school this morning and took up a teaching position as a teacher in an ancient culture elective course, teaching students ancient calligraphy, brushes, embroidery, etc. The school principal said that the real princess had been assessed as a teacher, passed the teacher qualification examination and passed the interview, and that the real princess was fully qualified to be a teacher."
"When the reporter who received the news rushed over, the real princess was in class. After getting permission, the reporter took photos of the real princess in the classroom. The reporter initially felt that the real princess communicated well with the students and the students were very motivated to learn..."
"The real princess's classes are basically arranged in the morning, one class a day. After class, the real princess accepted an interview with reporters."
"Among all the princesses in history, none of them have found normal jobs in society after becoming princesses. What is the reason why the real princess suddenly broke the rules and went out to work?" The reporter asked a sharp question.
Helian Zhen nodded and listened, keeping a smile on her face, showing no emotion. She was still thin, but the gloomy aura from before had dissipated a lot, and she looked much more energetic. After the reporter finished asking questions, she answered while organizing her words.
"Someone told me that princesses in previous generations didn't have normal jobs in society, but since there are no legal provisions or princess regulations that prohibit princesses from working, I choose to continue doing what I want to do." Helian Zhen smiled appropriately, and spoke in a calm tone. Although he still had the shadow of Zhu Jin, it was not as serious as before. "As for the reason why I came out to work, it's even simpler."
"At my age, normally everyone is working. Because of my status as a princess, I couldn't do the same as them. But later, because I had some free time, I didn't want to waste it, so I chose to work in a job that I wanted to do." Helian Zhen smiled, "Don't treat me as special. In the future, just treat me as an ordinary teacher in school. After all, my identity in school is a teacher."
"I actually like the title of Teacher Helian. My dream since childhood was to be a teacher." Helian Zhen tilted his head and thought for a while, "I think, if there are no force majeure factors, if the school is still satisfied with me as a teacher, I will continue to be a teacher, and keep doing it until I am too old to walk, like many other teachers."
"Is there really no other deeper meaning behind Princess Zhen's coming to work?" The reporter's eyes lit up immediately when he heard Helian Zhen's answer. He knew about her cooperation and immediately asked.
"Is there a deeper meaning?" Helian Zhen thought about it seriously. "Yes, there is. A while ago, many netizens reported that I was doubting my character, saying that I was monopolizing my boyfriend's achievements and that I was shameless and enjoyed the achievements to stabilize my princess status without knowing anything. I want to use facts to let everyone see if I really know nothing."
Helian Zhen said this, but his face remained calm. "Well... I am indeed much worse than my sister and Shang Lu, but I have been studying hard. I know and am familiar with all the historical and cultural knowledge published in the name of the princess."
Facing the reporter's excited red face, Helian Zhen's eyes flashed with contempt, "I said I am skilled, but you may not believe me, so I must prove it with facts. Being a teacher should be a good way, right? I can prove that I can still do the job I like and be with the cute little angels, why not? Well, think about it, I kill three birds with one stone, this is the deep meaning of my becoming a teacher!"
Helian Zhen had a smile on his face, but his tone was extremely serious, which made the onlookers and reporters laugh out loud.
Helian Zhen saw them laughing and waved his hands, "Okay, I'll talk properly. I beg the reporters not to edit the clips and release them." Helian Zhen made a begging gesture, "To be honest, the fundamental reason I became a teacher is that I hope more people can learn the cultural heritage passed down by our ancestors from an early age, and pass it down from generation to generation. Although this is official, it is really my wish."
Helian Zhen responded to the question that she had been avoiding before, and her answer was so tactful and topical that the reporters continued to ask, "Is Princess Zhen officially responding to the rumors that she monopolized her boyfriend's achievements?"
"I guess so..." Helian Zhen thought about it and nodded, "I don't know if most people's boyfriends will take care of their girlfriends, or if they sometimes feel like they are inseparable, but Shang Lu really takes care of me. We grew up together and are as familiar with each other as another self. I'm used to him helping and taking care of me, and I really don't think too much about it.
"I didn't mention Shang Lu when I published history and ancient characters. I really didn't know that this needed to be specifically stated." Helian Zhen's expression gradually became solemn. "Shang Lu would occasionally say that he had a bad image and told me not to mention him. It would be bad to have a bad influence for no reason. He said that if he made people dislike and reject history or ancient characters, it would be his great sin."
"After hearing the rumors, he almost couldn't help but jump out to refute them, but I stopped him." Helian Zhen smiled bitterly, "Because no matter whether it is history or ancient calligraphy, it is not the work of him alone, but the work of many people, the work of all the people involved. I not only monopolized his work, but also the work of everyone else."
There was a moment of silence in the lively interview scene. No one expected Helian Zhen to answer like that. The reporters looked at Helian Zhen with new eyes. Helian Zhen seemed like a completely different person and could answer without any mistakes.
No, or rather, there are loopholes everywhere, but it makes it difficult for you to be too aggressive, because being too aggressive will bore the audience.
This question flashed through the minds of the reporters present almost at the same time, and then they tacitly changed the subject and asked the question that everyone had been concerned about but had not been answered, "Princess Zhen, what is your current relationship with Mr. Shang?"
Their interview this time was just a test stone. Since they had already obtained such useful information, there was no need to work too hard. Whether Helian Zhen could change his image this time depended on the reactions of the audience and netizens. Whether Helian Zhen's public relations ability improved and whether his image change was successful or not depended on everyone's reactions.
"Hmm..." Helian Zhen concluded seriously, "The accurate description is that we went from being lovers to breaking up and then reconciling. Because of the reconciliation, our relationship is now that of lovers. If nothing unexpected happens, we plan to get married within the next year."
Helian Zhen suddenly dropped some important news.
Headlines such as "Real princess becomes a teacher to prove her innocence", "Real princess prepares to get married", "Is it true that the real princess and her boyfriend are getting back together?" etc. quickly dominated the news. The news about Lian Qiao volunteering at the orphanage, which she had planned, did not even make a splash.
"The cunning Helian Zhen actually used work to attract attention. What kind of ability do you have?" Lian Qiao, who was taking a lunch break, flipped through the news angrily, mumbling to herself as she checked the comments of netizens, "Shameless, just now she pretended to break up, and now she says she's reconciled and is getting married to attract attention. How shameless... Hey? Why didn't the comments explode? There are only so few comments?"
Lian Qiao was deeply puzzled when she saw the unusually few comments about Helian Zhen from netizens online. After she was puzzled, she smiled with a gloating look.
At the same time, Shang Lu, who had picked up Helian Zhen, couldn't help laughing when he looked at Helian Zhen.
"You dare to say that? Didn't we agree to get married next year?" He was shocked when he heard it, and then he couldn't help laughing.
"What is there to be afraid of saying? We have discussed the issue of marriage before. In this life, who else can you marry except me?" Helian Zhen glanced at him and asked back, with a smile on his lips, serious, but also a little nonchalant.
