The sky showed no sign of darkening, and Lu Qingyan felt no drowsiness whatsoever.
In the silence, the only sound was a "click," and the door opened.
"Mengmeng, didn't I tell you that filming for 'The Empress' starts today? Why are you still standing here instead of getting ready?"
Lu Qingyan curled her lips into a smile, showing no sign of anything amiss: "I was just a little confused. Wait for me a moment, it'll be ready soon."
Li Yan waved her hand impatiently, saying, "Go away, go away, don't get in my way." But in fact, anyone could see the concern in her eyes.
Since it was the first day, everyone arrived quite early. Lu Qingyan arrived a little late, and as soon as she entered, everyone's eyes fell on her.
"Sister Meng, this is Actor Fan," Li Yan introduced Lu Qingyan to a man.
"Hello, Actor Fan, I've heard so much about you." Lu Qingyan smiled and extended her hand, her mind filled with information about this person: Fan Jing, 39 years old, winner of the Golden Leopard Award for Best Actor for three consecutive years.
Lu Qingyan was surprised: [Tong'er, is that all you found out?]
【Uh… Master. I wasn’t the one who just transmitted the data.】The system, hanging to the side, replied: 【Since arriving in this world, my abilities have been suppressed; I can’t even read these people’s information.】
Lu Qingyan understood; it seemed this was related to the person who had imprisoned the original owner here.
The person in front of him was so genuine in his words and actions. When he heard Lu Qingyan praise him, he smiled and praised her back: "Not at all, not at all. They say the Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves. Your achievements are already above mine. I dare not listen to your praise anymore."
"Without the hard work and guidance of our predecessors, we younger generations would be nothing. We dare not be proud of our achievements."
"Look, look, Yunmeng really knows how to talk. Hahaha..." A hearty laugh rang out, and a middle-aged man with a large beer belly suddenly appeared. He stared at Lu Qingyan for a while and said, "Actress Ruan is getting prettier and prettier now, unlike me, Old Du, whose beauty is all in this." He patted his belly as he spoke, beaming with joy.
Before he could say two words, someone called out to him, "Director Du, come quick, something's happened over here."
His face darkened, and he said impatiently, "You're all in the same production crew, so chat and get to know each other better. I'm going to get busy."
"Is that you, Ruan Yinghou? I'm your fan, can you give me your autograph?" A young girl, already dressed in a costume, called out as she rushed over from afar.
Fan Jing joked, "See? I told you so. You have quite a few fans now, right? Some people have even infiltrated the film crew."
As he spoke, the little girl clutched the hem of her clothes, clearly somewhat reserved.
However, she finally mustered up her courage and said, "Actress Ruan, I happen to play your bodyguard Wanran in this story. I'm a little nervous, could you perhaps rehearse a scene with me?"
"sure!"
Lu Qingyan smiled and readily agreed.
She had a vague impression of this young girl, as if she would achieve great things in the future. But at this time, she was just a young girl who had only recently debuted.
Wanran was a bodyguard who served Empress Anjin closely during the later years of her reign, and also a close friend of Wanning, the daughter of the nanny who raised Anjin since childhood.
Having lost her family at a young age, she was sold into the palace as a slave. Wan Ning's mother pitied her and treated her no differently than her own daughter. From a young age, Wan Ran aspired to inherit her adoptive mother's position and become the chief eunuch by An Jin's side. Although she eventually became a guard, she remained extremely loyal to An Jin.
