Ye Xian entered the makeup room, applied makeup, put on a headpiece, and changed clothes. After completing a series of complicated preparations, she walked out.
The numerous busy staff and actors on the scene all paused in their breath when they saw her and stopped what they were doing.
A dashing young master, clad in moonlight.
This was... simply too ethereal!
Zeng Minghui nodded in satisfaction, "Good, actors get in place!"
The Desert North Royal Family was embroiled in conflict. The Noble Consort Shen Jialin played a ’cat and mouse game’ by swapping the Crown Prince Shen Jinyou with another child and entrusted the midwife to take him out of the palace. On the way out, the midwife was pursued and assassinated, abandoning the swaddled Shen Jinyou. Fortunately, his life was spared as he was adopted by a kind-hearted deaf-mute couple in a small village at the foot of Qiankun Mountain, where he was raised until he was 13 years old.
Shen Jinyou’s entrance scene took place at the foot of Qiankun Mountain, in a small woods filled with lush blooming flowers.
In the rice fields, the deaf-mute elderly couple was transplanting rice seedlings when a group of children charged over menacingly, demanding of them, "Where is Shen Jinyou! Let that wretched seed Shen Jinyou come out! How dare he steal our rabbits!"
The deaf-mute elderly couple didn’t understand what they were saying and thought the children were there to play with Shen Jinyou, so they pointed towards the small woods behind them.
Then, the camera cut.
Zeng Minghui, holding the microphone, said, "Shen Jinyou, start running!"
Three thousand black hairs tied with a white ribbon fluttered due to running, along with the moon-white robe adorned with fine silver flower patterns billowed freely, the white silk sash at his waist outlined his stunning waist and hip curves to perfection. Merely a silhouette of his magnificent and unique form was so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
Zeng Minghui gave this running sequence several close-up shots, finally zooming in, "Stop! Catch the little rabbit!"
Shen Jinyou leaped and caught the little rabbit, bleeding profusely from its leg.
The young boy’s clear and pure voice carried a hint of satisfaction and mirth.
The camera slowly zoomed in, revealing his face—eyebrows like sculpted blades, eyes as refreshing as the first light of spring, and contours akin to beautiful jade crafting—an unrivaled handsome visage.
In an instant, the gorgeous flowery backdrop paled in comparison, as if the world only had this heavenly-looking youth left. The morning light filtered through the woods, casting mottled circles of light upon his body, his black hair shining with a faint luster, and his skin from his forehead extending to his neck was delicate and porcelain white, even more exquisite than the white rabbit in his arms, with eyes that seemed to contain agate and shattered stars, captivating enough to drown in.
She tore a strip of cloth from her costume and carefully wrapped it around the injured Little White Rabbit, every move as beautiful as a painting.
Everyone watching on the monitors was mesmerized. Had it not been for filming, they would have exclaimed in surprise. Truly worthy of being Desert North’s most handsome man, Shen Jinyou—pure as mountain snow, bright as the moon amidst clouds. His entrance scene was so enchanting, like a deity descending to earth, that even they, a group of men, were staring goggle-eyed, let alone the little female fans after the broadcast!
After Shen Jinyou delivered his lines, Zeng Minghui was supposed to call cut, but he didn’t want to because the scene was too fluid and beautiful.
A few boys caught up.
"So you are really here!"
"Shen Jinyou, you wretched seed, how dare you steal my rabbit!"
"Give it back to us quickly!"
The frightened Little White Rabbit kept burrowing into Shen Jinyou’s arms as if it knew he was the kind one.
Zeng Minghui moved the camera closer, "It’s rare to capture such a scene."
Naturally, Shen Jinyou refused to hand it over, but being unable to articulate a defense, he was soon beaten up by the group of children.
"That’ll teach you to steal! To steal!"
