Lin Man was dressed in a light cyan riding outfit, with a butterfly-like belt tied around her waist, her hair tied up, leaving only her bangs, which gave her a naive and fresh appearance, full of energy.
Qin Yu and Lin Man glanced at each other and both saw satisfaction in each other’s eyes.
"Lin Man, you look so refreshing."
"Brother Qin, your costume is really handsome."
In the praise of each other, their confidence surged instantly, almost subconsciously looking around.
But they couldn’t find the figure they had hoped to see.
Just then, a cry of surprise came from not far away, and Director Zhang frowned and walked a few steps towards it, then suddenly burst into applause, "Excellent horsemanship!!"
Lin Man felt a bad premonition pass through her heart, and she took two steps towards the director.
Now she finally understood what everyone was cheering for.
Director Zhang was a person who demanded a lot of detail. Some crews, in order to save costs, basically shot hunting scenes sitting on stools in place and added background and special effects horses later.
But Director Zhang did it differently, he had specially laid out a small hunting outdoor scene, and also brought in a large group of real horses from outside.
At this moment, Shu Wan was riding on a tall and magnificent horse, dressed in red riding apparel, her hair simply tied up, with light makeup, which further highlighted the freedom and detachment in her eyes.
Even without seeing her face, it was already enough to be the focal point of everyone’s vision, let alone with that face, Lin Man, for the first time in her life, had the thought of withdrawing from the team.
What’s the point of shooting, probably after shooting a scene, it would all end up being Shu Wan’s bridal gown.
Unfortunately, just as Lin Man’s thought of escaping had arisen, Director Zhang turned around and looked at her and Qin Yu, "You two should also try riding, Lin Man, if you are not good at riding, just shoot the front, use a double for the back."
As for Qin Yu, he was accustomed to shooting costume dramas, and he was adept at martial arts and horseback riding, he didn’t need a double.
Qin Yu had already walked towards Shu Wan, and Lin Man, with no choice, had to reluctantly follow.
To tell the truth, she had always been acting in modern dramas, and had never seriously acted in costume dramas.
Not to mention horseback riding, even climbing up was a challenge.
With the help of the staff, Lin Man managed to sit on the horse’s back.
But as the horse moved gently, Lin Man immediately screamed in terror, "Ah, ah, ah, I’m going to fall, help me, help me!"
Shu Wan took one look at her and said indifferently, "Your horse is the most docile of all, you won’t fall."
"How would you know," Lin Man, both anxious and scared, "you are not a horse breeder, and besides, what if you picked a bad horse deliberately to make me fall, so you could escalate to the leading lady."
Shu Wan couldn’t be bothered dealing with Lin Man’s unreasonable bother, she kicked the horse’s belly, and rode away.
One woman and one horse were freely galloping across the grassland, the sunlight falling on her creating a vibrant atmosphere.
The scene being filmed today was about the Marquis daughter Su Wan, played by Shu Wan, and Ning Xiao, played by Qin Yu, reuniting at the hunting ground.
After a few previously friendly encounters, Su Wan had secretly given her heart to Ning Xiao, and was jubilant about it, but her defenses shattered when she saw Xiao Yu, played by Lin Man, by Ning Xiao’s side.
So, Su Wan challenged Xiao Yu to a horseback riding competition. Xiao Yu, innocent and cheerful, completely unaware of Su Wan’s hostility, gladly entered the contest.
But she hadn’t considered that Su Wan, known as the world’s top beauty, wasn’t just celebrated for her looks, but also her talents.
In the competition, Xiao Yu was no match for Su Wan and was thrown off the horse, nearly trampled to death by the startled horse.
Luckily, Ning Xiao came to her rescue, and she barely escaped with her life.
Now, not only had Su Wan failed to make Ning Xiao distance himself from Xiao Yu, but it had actually catalyzed the relationship between the two.
"Alright, get ready, we’re about to shoot." Seeing everyone already on set, the director raised his hand, signaling everyone to prepare.
Following the director’s command, Su Wan and Qin Yu also got into character.
Su Wan became the haughty yet slightly girlish-minded Marquis’s legitimate daughter, while Qin Yu embodied the youthful and spirited top scorer.
Xiao Yu stood next to Qin Yu, curious and unafraid, oblivious to the scrutinizing gaze from Su Wan.
"Who is this?" Su Wan, sitting high on her horse, looked down at Xiao Yu, her expression polite and smiling, yet emitting a lofty air.
"This is my junior sister," Ning Xiao turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yu, his eyes showing indulgence, "The master found her noisy, sent her over for some peace of mind."
