"Get out of my way, I must see the Emperor today." Xiao Wanyue stared intently at the door in front of her.
She said, "The child I'm holding in my arms is the Emperor's flesh and blood. The Emperor only has three princes now. If something were to happen to him, how would you, a mere servant, explain yourself to the Emperor?"
As Xiao Wanyue spoke, she caught Le Guang off guard and rushed inside, shouting, "Your Majesty, please save the Third Prince!"
"Cut!" Chu Yiyi finished filming this scene with satisfaction.
He generously told Shao Dongming and Lu Qingyan, "You two are such easy-going leads, you save me a lot of budget. After this movie is finished, I'll calculate how much it cost, and if there's a surplus, I'll give you a raise."
Shao Dongming said, "No need for a raise, save the money for extra meals for us."
Chu Yiyi readily agreed.
Soon, everyone who hadn't arrived yet had arrived, and the crew started filming other parts.
Chu Yi was a good person, and there were no conflicts even with so many people crammed together. The filming of "The Harem" went very smoothly, and the entire crew was unusually immersed in a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
Lu Qingyan had been filming night scenes for several days in a row. She leaned lazily against a recliner, yawning. She covered her face with the script, revealing only a small section of her pretty chin and her fair, slender neck below.
Shao Dongming stood at a distance and watched for a while, then walked over to her side.
He took the coat from his assistant and draped it over Lu Qingyan.
He moved very quietly, afraid of waking the sleeping person.
But Lu Qingyan quickly came to her senses. She sat up, and the script fell to the ground with a thud. For a moment, the expression on Lu Qingyan's face was a little blank, and also a little cute.
Shao Dongming smiled unconsciously; her smile was faint and subtle, perhaps even he himself didn't realize it.
He asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
Lu Qingyan shook her head, picked up the script, and continued reading.
Even with the greatest talent, without hard work, nothing will turn out well. Lu Qingyan considers herself quite talented, but her acting skills in front of the camera definitely need further refinement.
Chu Yiyi also said that her acting skills are okay compared to others, but she is still a bit lacking when acting alongside Shao Dongming.
Shao Dongming sat down on the recliner next to her, then produced a can of herbal tea from his sleeve: "Want some?"
"Drink." Lu Qingyan said, reaching out to take it, but Shao Dongming avoided her hand and said, "I'll do it."
After speaking, he unscrewed the tab and handed the herbal tea to Lu Qingyan: "Have some, shall we rehearse?"
"Okay," Lu Qingyan readily agreed.
Lu Qingyan downed the entire cup of herbal tea in one gulp, instantly feeling much cooler. Then, she slammed the script on the table, no longer looking at the lines, and said, "Let's go."
"Did His Majesty send me here just to see the scenery? Or is it because Consort Shu couldn't come, and he had to send me as a substitute?" Lu Qingyan said with a wry smile, "His Majesty's affection for Consort Shu is truly profound. May I ask, what are these three thousand beauties in the harem compared to this?"
Shao Dongming opened his mouth and began reciting his lines. He said, "Yue'er, I just want to tell you that I don't love Consort Shu, who resembles you in some ways, but I have fallen in love with you."
Shao Dongming's gentlemanly face showed a hint of impatience, yet also a deep affection.
