Because of Meng Shulin's arrival, the entire crew became restrained. Fortunately, Meng Shulin spent most of his time on Shu Mei, taking her around to play or watching her filming. Occasionally, such as at night, he would be alone with Bai Yuhe, with whom he had recently started dating.
Shu Mei didn't want to know what the two of them did in private at all. When Meng Shulin finally had enough fun and was about to leave, she was completely relieved. You know, the male lead stayed here for five days, and the crew was like chicken blood, they were excited and cautious for five days, and their attitude towards her also changed 180 degrees.
Shu Mei was helpless about this situation. Fortunately, the heroine Yun Liuyu still treated her the same as before. However, the heroine was also the person who made her most entangled and uneasy. After all, during the time Meng Shulin stayed here, the communication between him and Yun Liuyu did not exceed five sentences, which added up to less than ten words.
The hero and the supporting actress were fighting fiercely, and the heroine instantly turned into a cold and aloof girl. This tragic reality caught her off guard.
During these few days, Shu Mei also spent time studying the heroine, but the information she got was not very useful. For example, she knew that the heroine liked to eat noodles more than rice, liked to wear clothes with cooler colors instead of bright colors, and usually didn't like to stand out and spent more time staying in places with few people...
The heroine has countless hobbies like these, but what’s the point of her knowing them? It's not like she's the one who's trying to capture the heroine? !
Shu Mei reluctantly put away the notebook. The six big characters "Heroine's Observation Diary" written on it indicated the results of her hard work during this period.
She put on her shoes and went to the hotel entrance. Today was the day Meng Shulin was leaving, and as Meng Shulin's biological sister, she naturally had to see him off.
When he reached the door, Shu Mei saw Meng Shulin and Bai Yuhe behind him at a glance.
Shu Mei raised his eyebrows, walked over and asked, "Brother, you are leaving now, I will see you off."
Meng Shulin still loved his sister very much. He patted Shu Mei's head and said with a smile: "I'm going to go back first. You should shoot this drama well. I will definitely bring Dad to watch it together after it's finished."
Shu Mei smiled embarrassedly, but she saw the ladies' suitcase next to Bai Yuhe from the corner of her eyes. Her heart skipped a beat and she pretended to ask casually, "Brother, how much luggage did you bring?" As she spoke, her eyes fell on Bai Yuhe.
Meng Shulin immediately understood Shu Mei's deep meaning. He also knew that Shu Mei disliked Bai Yuhe. He was just looking for someone to play with because he was bored these days. Since his sister didn't like this woman, then that was enough. There was no need to bring such a woman back.
So, he seemed to be speaking to Shu Mei in a doting manner, but in fact he was referring to Bai Yuhe, "I came here on a business trip this time, and I didn't plan to stay for long. My assistant and secretary have already packed the luggage, so I can go back alone."
He deliberately put emphasis on the three words "a person". Others should have understood what he meant, but Bai Yuhe was unmoved. When Meng Shulin turned around to get in the car, she followed him with her luggage.
Meng Shulin said impatiently: "Get lost, I already gave you a card last night, the money and goods are settled, there is no need to continue entangled."
Bai Yuhe burst into tears immediately, looked at Meng Shulin sadly, then turned around and ran back to the hotel.
Seeing that the other party didn't even want the luggage, Shu Mei found it a little funny. She moved closer to the car and asked Meng Shulin with her head tilted: "Brother, since you don't like her, why do you still have anything to do with her?"
Meng Shulin just gave her an unfathomable look and said lazily, "All men are like this."
Shu Mei curled his lips, rolled his eyes, then lowered his voice, leaned close to Meng Shulin's ear and asked, "What do you think of Sister Yun?"
Meng Shulin stroked his chin, looking like he was thinking hard, and said, "She's good-looking and has a good figure, but she's too arrogant and not suitable for me. Besides, this woman is not easy to mess with and I don't want to touch her. Shu Mei, you should stay away from that woman."
Shu Mei felt puzzled, but more of a letdown. Such a pair of male and female protagonists who treated each other with such coldness really made her worried to death.
Shu Mei waved his hand listlessly, said goodbye and went back to the hotel.
In the following days, life returned to its previous busyness. The crew members also lost their impetuousness and became down-to-earth again. Although Shu Mei felt that the stares from people around her were annoying, fortunately, few people came up to her directly, so it didn't cause her much trouble.
She doesn't have many parts in the drama "Beauty in the Harem". Before, the director didn't pay much attention to her because she was "hiding her identity". But now everyone in the crew knows that she is the daughter of Tianyu Entertainment Company, who is equivalent to their breadwinner, so they are more tolerant of her.
When Shu Mei was acting, she still reserved some points and brought out the acting skills of a new actor to the fullest. When acting with other actors, her performance was lackluster and just barely passable. The director and actors filmed closely around her, so after more than ten days of rushing to shoot, her part also came to an end.
Shu Mei looked at the script in her hand. As long as she finished two more scenes today, her part in this play would be complete.
One of the scenes is about being rejected by the emperor, and another is about being banished to the cold palace. Both are short scenes that are very easy to shoot.
After Shu Mei quickly finished filming the first scene, she sat aside waiting for the filming of the second scene. During this time, it was time for Yun Liuyu to film her scenes. The filming location was where she had filmed before. It only needed to change the decoration and it became the filming location for Yun Liuyu's scenes.
After the scene is set, it is time for Yun Liuyu to appear.
This scene is the beginning of the downfall of Concubine Zhuang, played by Yun Liuyu. That is, something went wrong with the Liu family behind Concubine Zhuang, and the ministers rose up to attack them. Concubine Zhuang's parents were exiled to a bitter and cold place by the emperor, while the other people in the family had their property confiscated, were demoted to commoners, and were not allowed to serve as officials in the court for three dynasties. They were completely useless to the emperor.
This ending is indeed tragic. Concubine Zhuang entered the palace as a concubine and relied on the status of her mother's family to reach her current position. In the past, she had offended many people in the palace because of her personality. After this scene, Concubine Zhuang completely turned from a pampered palace concubine into a darkened and vicious female supporting role, and embarked on the path of an alliance with the first female supporting role, the Queen.
The drama that Yun Liuyu is performing now is the ups and downs stage of life.
After the director shouted "!", Shu Mei and other people in the crew looked at Concubine Zhuang, played by Yun Liuyu, who was pruning flower branches with a smug look on her face and then making sarcastic remarks about other concubines.
But then, her personal maid ran up to her in panic and stammered to report the tragic plight of the Liu family. Concubine Zhuang's face suddenly turned pale, and she fell to the ground trembling. Just as she was at a loss, someone from the emperor came to announce the decree.
After Concubine Zhuang forced herself to send the eunuch away, the Queen's trusted nanny came over. The two exchanged sharp words and temporarily reached an alliance.
It was a short play of only five or six minutes, but Yun Liuyu finished it in one go. When the director called cut, he immediately returned to his usual laziness.
Yun Liuyu's flexible expression and superb and expressive acting skills really made Shu Mei's eyes light up.
This was actually not the first time Shu Mei had observed Yun Liuyu acting, but every time Yun Liuyu always surprised her.
Shu Mei observed carefully and knew that Yun Liuyu's whole body was full of drama, whether it was the facial expressions that were the focus of the film, the movements of her fingers, or the steps she took, they all fit the character of Concubine Zhuang. She was an actor who truly brought this character to life.
There are countless actors in the crew, and there are more than a dozen concubines in the harem who have important roles, including Liu Cairen, the Queen, the Four Concubines... and so on. However, the only one who truly has the charm of an ancient beauty is Yun Liuyu.
Many people in the crew can't let go when acting, and they end up with expressionless faces if they're not careful. However, Yun Liuyu is never restrained when acting. She is like two completely different people in and out of the play.
Shu Mei is fascinated by Yun Liuyu's superb acting skills. Every time he watches him act, it is a visual enjoyment.
Yun Liuyu came over with a bottle of water and sat directly next to Shu Mei. She rested quietly. Seeing that the scene was very quiet, Shu Mei coughed and spoke first: "Sister Yun, you acted really well."
Yun Liuyu smiled, turned to look at her, and asked, "You only have one scene left, right?"
Shu Mei nodded, thinking about his role, which was to create an opportunity for the hero and heroine to fall in love, and said with a look of melancholy: "Yes, I will leave after I finish this scene. I have been out for so long, and my father also hopes that I can go back soon."
"By the way, what are your plans next?" Shu Mei asked casually.
In the plot, after the female lead finished starring in this drama, she turned to filming movies, and the male and female protagonists had a liking for each other after their first meeting. Naturally, during the filming of the movie, they ran into each other from time to time, and their feelings grew deeper and deeper, and evolved into love. The supporting actress Meng Shumei did not play a very big role in this, at most it was just a matter of a few words, very simple.
However, reality is different from the plot. The real heroine Yun Liuyu is too cold. It is estimated that the next time she sees the hero Meng Shulin, she will pretend not to see him and avoid him. Meng Shulin also made it clear that he is not interested in Yun Liuyu, so it is unlikely that they will create sparks again.
Shu Mei stared at the heroine worriedly. She had no intention of answering her. Shu Mei had no choice but to pout and ask, "Sister Yun, what type of men do you like?"
Yun Liuyu raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "What kind do you think I like?"
Shu Mei thought of the male lead, and thought that the female lead didn't know Meng Shulin's true character, so she pretended to think, counting on her fingers and said, "Of course, he is the type of man who is handsome, dignified, responsible, and can make girls happy."
Yun Liuyu smiled noncommittally, half-closed his eyes, and said: "So... is this the type you like?"
Shu Mei nodded quickly and said, "This kind of man is a good one to rely on. He is much better than the kind of man who is two-faced, relies on women for a living, and abuses women." For example, Yan Changan, the heroine's husband in her previous life.
Yun Liuyu's eyes suddenly became sharp. She glanced at Shu Mei calmly, turned her head to look at the set, and whispered, "What if I don't like any man?"
"Huh?" Shu Mei was very puzzled. Could it be that the heroine was hurt by a scumbag in her previous life and has not recovered yet, so she rejects the hero and is cold to him?
Yun Liuyu came closer and repeated as close as possible: "What if I like women?"
