Ye Shengge was the first person to shed her character. She breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, smiling, “Thank you, Sister Su Han.”
Su Han watched her with a complicated expression. She didn’t want to admit that her back was already drenched in cold sweat after just under a minute. It took all her effort just to not show her fear.
Su Han’s lips moved but in the end, she didn’t say anything and went to the side to rest.
Ye Shengge walked to Xu Xiangjie and asked, “Is it alright, Director Xu?”
“No.” Xu Xiangjie frowned.
“Sorry.” Ye Shengge immediately apologized. “Where did I not do well at? I’ll take note later.”
“It’s not you, it’s Su Han.” Xu Xiangjie smiled. “When you said the last line, Su Han couldn’t hold it together. A concubine, yet she’s being overawed by a palace maid. You’re really a monster.”
Xu Xiangjie had been very confident of Ye Shengge after the shoot, but he hadn’t expected her to be more capable than he had thought.
Ye Shengge was a little stunned. She hadn’t expected that she would be able overshadow Su Han.
“We need to make some adjustments to the positions later.” Xu Xiangjie was very excited. “See? All the actors who are acting with you are getting nervous. They can’t handle it if they are being overawed by the newbie.”
“You are exaggerating.” Ye Shengge chuckled and went to rest. Lin Qi immediately gave her a cup of water.
“Sister Shengge, you’re amazing.” Lin Qi said excitedly. “Mu Xiaoya has a totally ugly expression now.”
Ye Shengge took a sip of water and looked to Mu Xiaoya, who was standing not too far away. She had probably just arrived and hadn’t put on makeup yet.
Ye Shengge smiled at her. Mu Xiaoya’s face paled and she turned around to leave left.
Following that, Ye Shengge and Su Han once again re-enacted the same again and these time the director was satisfied. After a few supporting cast did their scenes, it was time for a scene between Ye Shengge and Mu Xiaoya.
Ying Xue, who was played by Mu Xiaoya, was the eldest princess of the palace. She was only one year younger than Xue Ning. Ying Xue was thoroughly spoiled by the emperor and had been opposing Xue Ning all her life.
Mu Xiaoya had been willing to take the role because Ying Xue had the upper hand most of the time. Mu Xiaoya was more than willing to make things difficult for Ye Shengge on set.
As a result, she had been trying her best to devour Ye Shengge whole the moment filming started, but the director had yelled cut the moment she did.
“Ying Xue, you’re a princess. Even if you don’t like Xue Ning, you mustn’t be so ferocious!” Director Xu yelled. “Again!”
Mu Xiaoya’s face was pale, but on set, the director had the highest authority. Thus, she could only swallow her anger and do it all over.
“Who are you? Are you the maid of Changchun Palace?” Ying Xue looked at her warily.
Xue Ning was obviously prepared for this. She smiled and said, “I’m Xue Ning, and His Majesty has granted me permission to live in Changchun Palace.”
“The Palace of Changchun is the palace my mother used to live in. My father promised me not to let anyone in!” Ying Xue said. “Who let you in, slut? Get out!”
“Cut!” Xu Xiangjie interrupted them again. “Ying Xue, you’re a princess! Can you show me the air of a princess? Xue Ning didn’t kill your entire family. Why are you so worked up for?”
