13. Filming officially begins
Perhaps Master Zheng Yuanqiu was really good at it, as Q City, which had been experiencing heavy rain for a week, actually had a big sun on that day.
Whether it is a coincidence or a good omen, it is a good omen.
In the actor's lounge, Chi Yi was confirming the next steps with Guan Miao.
"There won't be too many people at the opening ceremony. Zheng Yuan has invited people from the media who he knows well, and we've already made arrangements."
Fearing Guan Miao wouldn't understand, she explained, "You're the only newcomer among the main cast. There might be reporters trying to dig up some information about you, so I asked Deng Ling to go and say hello."
"So Sister Deng Ling was dealing with this matter yesterday."
Deng Ling said, "It's almost time, it's time to get ready to go."
Shuangshuang and Guan Miao checked their makeup and hair one last time, and after confirming everything was correct, they walked out accompanied by Deng Ling.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the waiting area, they saw Xu Ruoming waving at her, "Miaomiao, this way."
Xu Ruoming plays her mother in the play, so it is normal to let her come over and talk at this moment.
Guan Miao immediately came over and called out sweetly, "Senior Sister Xu."
The relationship between the two was exposed on the first day of training. Because of this, the group treated her quite politely and she did not receive any harsh treatment.
One cannot help but sigh that it is indeed better to lean against a big tree for shade.
Xu Ruoming felt relieved when he saw Guan Miao's calm expression. He had been worried that Guan Miao would be nervous today, but he didn't expect her to be so calm.
"It's hot today. Drink something to cool down when you get home. You still have scenes to film this afternoon, so your health is more important."
It would be bad to spread the news that I was ill on the first day of filming.
"I've made a note of that. Thanks, Senior Sister Xu, for reminding me."
The two of them didn't talk for long before the other leading actors arrived and came over to chat with them.
It wasn't until Zheng Yuan came over that everyone put away their playful thoughts, "Teachers, please."
The actors and special guests in the fourth group stood up and followed Zheng Yuan to the platform. Soon the remaining actors also arrived at the prayer venue.
A huge copper incense burner was placed in the center of the platform. After everyone stood still, the staff began to distribute incense and candles.
Bowing to the platform and to all directions; the director lifted the veil on the camera...an hour passed after the whole process.
Guan Miao got off the platform. Deng Ling was the first to come to her side. Seeing that she looked unwell, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Did you get heatstroke or are you dehydrated?"
Guan Miao waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. I was just too nervous and didn't notice that I was exposed to the sun for a while longer."
Even though she said that, Deng Ling still felt a bit nervous. "The press conference still has ten minutes left. Go touch up your makeup first."
"Um."
Fortunately, Guan Miao looked much better after resting for a while, but Deng Ling still asked Shuangshuang to apply more blush and lipstick.
"Teacher Guan Miao, it's time to go to the reception room."
"We understand."
After the 20-minute media interview session, the opening ceremony of "Ding Fenghua" came to a successful conclusion.
In less than half an hour, the official Weibo of "Ding Feng Hua" released the makeup photos of the main actors, and then various marketing accounts immediately released various entries and photos related to "Ding Feng Hua".
Thanks to the efforts of fans from all over the world, various Reuters photos, raw photos, and behind-the-scenes footage from the start of filming, entries related to "Ding Feng Hua" immediately occupied the hot search list.
Chai Yue, who was in the hotel, was always observing the trends on the Internet. Seeing that the drama was becoming more and more popular and netizens were becoming more and more curious about Guan Miao, who played the third female role, she immediately issued several notices as Chi Yi said, which successfully increased the popularity.
…
Guan Miao, who was sitting in a studio at the moment, had no intention of paying attention to the situation on the Internet. His mind was full of the performance he would perform later.
Zheng Yuan brought over a bottle of water and said, "Don't be nervous, this scene isn't difficult."
What he said was true. The first scene after filming started was intended to be a good omen.
Therefore, he would of course choose the relatively easiest one.
"I know, but I can't help it. Maybe I'll be fine after filming is finished."
Since she said so, Zheng Yuan naturally stopped trying to persuade her, "The shooting will start in five minutes, you need to adjust your mentality."
Five minutes later, "The first scene of 24 begins."
In the picture, the seventh princess is sitting in a pavilion in a light green dress, with white rice paper in her hands. With just a few strokes, a lotus flower appears on the paper.
Wen Chun stood aside and said proudly, "The princess's painting skills have improved again. Look at this lotus, it seems to be coming alive."
"You are always good at making me happy."
The Seventh Princess turned her head to look at her, jokingly saying something, but with a hint of doting in her eyes.
"Princess, what I said is the truth. How can I try to please you? If the lotus had a few more shades of pink, I could even smell its fragrance."
While the master and servant were talking, a burst of hurried footsteps were heard. The seventh princess turned her head curiously and looked outside.
A girl in silver-red riding clothes appeared in front of her. The girl was startled when she saw her, then quickly walked to three steps away from her and bowed her head.
"Your humble servant Zhong Qinglan greets the Seventh Princess."
The daughter of the Zhong family?
The Seventh Princess put down her pen and said softly, "Miss Zhong, please stand up quickly. Wenchun, please take a seat."
"Thank you so much, Princess, for your kindness. I'm here to visit Concubine Lin today, so I'm afraid I can't be late."
"Oh?" Hearing this, the Seventh Princess looked at her in confusion. "I remember that Lady Lin's palace is on the other side. How did Miss Zhong end up here? Did the guide nanny abandon her post?"
Zhong Qinglan showed a trace of guilt on her face, "I'm afraid the princess will laugh at me if I tell you this. Nanny Qian was called away by the Third Prince's men halfway through the journey. Before she left, she pointed out the direction for me.
I'm not very familiar with the roads, and this is my first time in the palace, so I just walked and walked and walked until I got here."
"So that's how it is."
No wonder he was walking so fast just now. He was called away by Third Brother’s men. What did he want to do?
"It seems I haven't paid my respects to Madam Lin for quite some time. In that case, Miss Zhong, why don't you come with me?"
Zhong Qinglan looked up and wanted to agree but hesitated. It was no secret that the Seventh Princess was weak. The sun was very strong today. If something happened on the way, she would not be able to bear the consequences!
Seeing that she didn't reply, the Seventh Princess immediately understood her worries and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Miss Zhong, I have the sedan chair given by my father. Besides, the sun is slanting now, so it won't be a problem for me to walk for a while.
I'm just sorry Miss Zhong will need to speed up a bit later."
Since she said so, Zhong Qinglan naturally had no reason to refuse. She bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Princess."
"Get up."
Taking Wen Chun's hand, he stood up. Zhong Qinglan immediately followed. After going down two steps, Zheng Yuan said, "Cut, we passed."
Hearing this, Guan Miao breathed a sigh of relief, took Ji Xing's hand and whispered, "It's okay as long as you pass."
"I was almost scared to death. It was supposed to end when Teacher Ran greeted him, but the director didn't call cut. I thought our acting was just too bad."
“Puff.”
Ran Yunhua smiled when she heard their conversation, and before the makeup artist arrived, she whispered, "Don't worry about it. Director Zheng is the type of person who will call a cut if he's not satisfied with anything. He won't let us finish the performance and then tell us where we didn't perform well.
So, we performed very well.”
