In front of a quaint, old-fashioned building in Mingshan Park.
The area was completely cordoned off by staff.
Lu Qianqian stood anxiously by the entrance, glancing at her watch every now and then, eagerly awaiting Xia Baozhu's arrival.
Finally, Xia Baozhu and the other two came into her sight.
"Sister Xia, Brother Ma, Brother Sun, you've finally arrived!"
Lu Qianqian excitedly waved her arms and went to greet them. She told the staff on duty, and they were all let in smoothly.
Once inside, Xia Baozhu looked around at the surroundings while listening to Lu Qianqian talk animatedly.
“I showed your magazine photos to my classmate, and she gave them to the director today. The director immediately agreed. They are on break now and will have time to see you.”
The entire filming location appeared somewhat chaotic, with various filming equipment placed haphazardly and black wires crisscrossing on the ground.
Xia Baozhu, hand in hand with Sun Xingyan, followed behind Lu Qianqian, carefully bypassing the obstacles and stepping over the black wires, until they arrived at a dark yellow door.
Inside the room, a group of people, dressed in military overcoats, sat together eating and having a lively discussion.
The middle-aged man sitting in the chair holding an aluminum lunchbox was clearly the director. When he spoke, most of the others listened quietly and rarely interrupted.
Xia Baozhu noticed that the actress had her hair styled in a high bun and wore various headdresses, clearly indicating that this was a period drama.
The group also noticed them, and while eating, they curiously observed them, their eyes revealing a different kind of expression.
"Director, my friend is here, her surname is Xia. Sister Xia, this is Director Chen." Lu Qianqian quickly spoke up as soon as the director paused to speak.
The middle-aged man looked up from his lunchbox, nearly dropping his chopsticks.
A beautiful woman with a cool and noble air appeared before him, like a dazzling pearl suddenly appearing in his field of vision.
The meticulously crafted dark-colored winter clothing, worn from head to toe, is tastefully and elegantly matched, making her beautiful face even more radiant and charming, exuding a refined and elegant aura.
His dark, bright eyes were like twinkling stars in the night, deep and mysterious.
When you meet her gaze, it's as if an invisible force makes your heart race, like a deer's tail pounding.
Such a beauty could easily be placed in a storyline like "The Banquet of the Rich and Powerful" and play herself.
"Hello, Director Chen," Xia Baozhu said politely with a smile.
The director was overjoyed; her demeanor and bearing were even better than in the magazines.
He quickly stood up, strode over to Xia Baozhu, looked her up and down, and kept saying, "Good, good, Miss Xia, this role is for you!"
She was simply the perfect embodiment of the stunning beauty in his mind!
Only a beauty like this could make the male protagonist fall head over heels at first sight, become infatuated, waver, and be indecisive.
Seeing the director's almost out-of-control behavior, Sun Xingyan's handsome face showed a hint of displeasure.
He frowned and raised his voice slightly to ask, "Director, what role will my wife play?"
Only then did the director notice Sun Xingyan and Ma Zhaoshi behind him.
Judging from Sun Xingyan's attire and Xia Baozhu's rather intimate behavior, it was clear that he and the beautiful woman in front of him were a couple.
The arrogant young man behind them must be their friend.
He explained with a smile, "The character is a stunningly beautiful woman transformed from a vengeful ghost; I only need to appear twice."
After a pause, he continued, "I've seen the costume photos of Miss Xia. She has a great sense of the camera and her performance is very powerful. Filming this role shouldn't be difficult for her."
"Are the clothes proper?" Sun Xingyan continued to ask.
Xia Baozhu and Ma Zhaoshi couldn't help but chuckle softly upon hearing this question.
Director Chen glanced at Xia Baozhu, whose smile was natural and genuine. Compared to her polite smile, her eyes were now sparkling and captivating, like wildflowers in full bloom.
He was even more satisfied; a true beauty should be beautiful in every smile, frown, and gesture.
Sun Xingyan looked serious and determined; if the clothing was too revealing, Baozhu wouldn't be allowed to take the photos.
"Don't worry, the clothes are definitely legitimate."
The director could tell at a glance that these three people were all rich and didn't care about money; they were just making movies for fun.
It's good to have rich people, but he lacks the connections to meet them.
Filming is expensive; we have to be very careful with our money every day, because we're always afraid of running out of funds halfway through filming.
It would be great if we could attract these people to invest in making movies.
Therefore, when faced with Sun Xingyan's parent-child-like questions, the director patiently answered them.
Ma Zhaoshi's eyes swept over the actresses in the room, and there was indeed one who was particularly beautiful and exquisite, whose appearance was comparable to Xia Baozhu's when she was dressed up.
He asked curiously, "What movie are you filming?"
"The script tells the story of a scholar who encounters a vengeful ghost while traveling, is haunted by the ghost and taken home, and an old Taoist priest comes to his door to exorcise the ghost."
"Oh, that sounds exciting." Ma Zhaoshi stroked his chin. "Will my sister-in-law's scenes have to be filmed at night?"
"Yes, we can only film at night, because evil spirits only come out to do evil at night."
"Indoors or outdoors?" Sun Xingyan asked again.
"One scene indoors, one scene outdoors," the director answered patiently, making the assistant director next to him think he had changed his ways.
"It's too cold at night, you'll catch a cold."
Sun Xingyan had second thoughts. He figured that such beauties couldn't possibly wear thick clothes; their clothes were all flowing and breezy. A gust of wind would be no different from wearing nothing at all, and they could freeze a person to the bone in just a minute.
