There are too many things like this nowadays.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I experienced something like this back in my first film. You don't need to worry about me breaking down. My mentality is something that most people can't compare to."
Having trained with an international assassin organization, he's seen everything, eaten insects and rats, so why can't he accept any public opinion?
Besides, the more famous a person is, the more haters they will have, and the more criticism they will receive. Nowadays, any public figure will inevitably have people who dislike them.
Since you can't please everyone, you might as well be yourself and make yourself happy.
"Qiqi, have you memorized all your lines?"
In the lounge, Yan Changning watched Qi Jiu sitting in her seat, chatting and laughing with Ling Yue.
He had never worked with Qi Jiu, so he naturally didn't know about her acting skills; he had only heard many positive things about her from Writer Tang. Writer Tang was considered a veteran in the entertainment industry, so receiving such high praise from him must be quite remarkable.
There's no need to worry about Ling Yue's job, but this is Qi Jiu's first time working with him...
"Don't worry, Director. If I wasn't prepared, I certainly wouldn't be chatting with Teacher Ling Yue about anything else here. As for work, you can rest assured."
Seeing her certainty, Yan Changning was relieved. "Then you two should get ready. The first scene is about to begin."
Yan Changning nodded slightly to the two people. Just as she stepped out of the lounge, she noticed someone lurking suspiciously at the door.
"Tang Miaomiao?"
"Oh? Director? You're here. Is it time to start filming the first scene? I'll go get ready right away."
She seemed startled and didn't notice Yan Changning. Only when she saw him did she chuckle. Then, as if she had done something wrong, she scurried away.
In the lounge, Qi Jiu and Ling Yue looked at each other when they heard the noise at the door, and each saw different emotions in the other's eyes.
"Since I need to get my hair and makeup done, I'll be going now. This is my first time working with you, and also my first time seeing you in period costume. I'm really looking forward to it."
With that, Ling Yue waved his hand and left the lounge.
"Hello, Ms. Qi Jiu. I'm in charge of your makeup and hair. Today's makeup and hair will be based on the script, so today we'll..."
After an unknown amount of time, Qi Jiu sat in front of the makeup mirror, her eyes closed, unsure whether she was asleep or meditating, letting the makeup artist apply makeup to her face.
Just as the project was nearing completion, laughter and chatter could be heard outside the door.
Although the voice was somewhat unfamiliar, Qi Jiu recognized it immediately. It was Tang Miaomiao, her voice so loud that it couldn't be blocked by the door of her lounge. It was clear how happy she was.
Makeup artist Guoguo pursed her lips as she heard the laughter coming from the doorway.
"This scene is a hunting scene at the royal training ground. Teacher Tang Miaomiao has filmed similar scenes before, so riding a horse shouldn't be a problem for her. Other teachers may not have experience with this, so they are probably being instructed by others."
The girl didn't even lift her eyelids, she just hummed in response.
Fan Yi sat on the sofa next to her, looking at the girl with her eyes closed, and wisely kept quiet.
Because she had a premonition that her boss would definitely be able to crush everyone! At that time, Tang Miaomiao, who was causing trouble, would probably not be laughing anymore.
After a long while, "Teacher, it's done."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Jiu opened her eyes, looked at herself in the makeup mirror, and raised her eyebrows in satisfaction.
Logically, the order of filming doesn't follow the plot, so this scene depicts the royal family holding a hunt at the training ground.
Although she was a princess, she had practiced martial arts since childhood. The Empress Dowager favored her as a princess, so the rules of the training ground had long been broken.
The person in the mirror didn't have much makeup on their face; they had just lightly applied foundation to even out their skin tone, and their eyeshadow was the most common earth tone, but you really couldn't tell anything unless you looked closely.
Because the color wasn't too heavy, it only served to refine her features and reduce puffiness, but it made her facial features look more defined. The eyeliner was light, not excessive, and didn't look out of place.
"Teacher, are you satisfied? Your face is already perfect. If there were more makeup, it might ruin the original beauty. I didn't put false eyelashes on you because of this scene."
"Very good." This light makeup is just right.
False eyelashes? Who wears eyelashes while hunting?
Having changed into a special riding and archery outfit, I opened the door and saw that Tang Miaomiao was also wearing the same outfit, but in terms of details, it wasn't as refined as hers.
Indeed, if a minister's daughter dressed better than a princess, she wouldn't stand a chance in the capital.
Beside him stood Ling Yue, dressed in a dark blue outfit, his black hair tied up. His handsome face truly enhanced his status. The material of his clothes was very fine, and the embroidery on the sleeves was exquisite.
The phrase "a dashing young man in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse" perfectly describes Ling Yue today.
"Qiqi!"
Ling Yue was stunned for a moment when he saw Qi Jiu, then his eyes crinkled with laughter.
Based on her previous role, he had imagined how cool Qi Jiu would look in this outfit, but he hadn't expected it to be this beautiful.
Some people are suited to period dramas, some are suited to modern dramas, but some people are just lucky enough to be suited to both. That's probably a perfect example of Qi Jiu.
According to the era depicted in this script, a young girl should wear a long dress, have her dark hair braided, and be adorned with delicate hairpins and jewels.
Now, she's dressed in a light blue outfit, her dark hair tied up high. Her makeup and hairstyle aren't much different from his, but the overall feel is just different.
"So handsome!"
Ling Yue shook his head. He couldn't find any suitable adjectives to describe Qi Jiu anymore; the word "handsome" was just right.
"You're not bad either."
Tang Miaomiao's targeting of her is probably due to her resentment and the fact that she doesn't have many scenes with Ling Yue.
"Qiqi, this scene requires riding a horse. I forgot to ask beforehand, can you ride a horse? If you can't, that's okay, we can teach you on the spot. If you really can't, you can go up first, and we'll have a stunt double."
Yan Changning looked at Qi Jiu and nodded in satisfaction.
"Teacher Qi Jiu was a student before, right? And now you're the representative of the group, so you probably don't have much time to ride horses. If Teacher Qi Jiu needs help, I can teach you. I know a bit about it before; there have been scenes of people riding horses in the movies."
"Teacher Tang, don't be modest. You ride such a horse so well. I'm afraid only Teacher Ling Yue has such good skills on this set."
"That's right, Professor Tang, don't be modest."
Hearing the compliments around her, Tang Miaomiao smiled shyly.
