With all the props and photography ready, the filming of "South City" began.
There is a small island outside the south city, with osmanthus trees planted all over the island. In the golden autumn season, rich families and common people will go to the island to enjoy the osmanthus flowers, and boatmen will also row their boats over early to solicit business. Gao Changsheng is a man of generous character and burly figure. He has five or six younger brothers under him. They are drinking water and chatting at the bow of the boat, when they suddenly see three girls walking gracefully in the distance. The leading girl in yellow is about sixteen or seventeen years old. She is bathed in the autumn light, and her little face is white and watery, which makes everyone unable to take their eyes away.
"I'll take over this business!" Someone paddled anxiously, and others also became agitated.
"Just stay still."
Gao Changsheng, who had been sitting still, gave Yu Wanyin a fierce look, threw the leaf in his mouth, and finally clapped his hands and stood up. With a glance, no one dared to snatch it from him.
The man was tall and his eyes were not as honest as those of ordinary boatmen. He had a rough and aggressive look. The two maids were a little worried and whispered to their master to change the boatman. Yu Wanyin nodded, but the other boatmen did not want to offend Gao Changsheng and refused to pull her. Yu Wanyin pursed her lips and looked at Gao Changsheng. The man stared at her and smiled nonchalantly: "What? Are you afraid that your brother will eat you?"
The boatmen laughed.
Yu Wanyin had a stubborn temper. She glared at him with her beautiful eyes when she heard that. She ignored the objections of her two maids and got on Gao Changsheng's boat first. She sat on the bow angrily and turned to look at the mountains and rivers.
Gao Changsheng grinned, rubbed his hands, and pushed the boat forward gently, and the boat moved forward a long distance.
With the help of two maids, Yu Wanyin secretly looked at Gao Changsheng. The man's strong and broad back, muscular arms, and rough and handsome profile all attracted the attention of her, a lady from a wealthy family. Suddenly, Gao Changsheng turned his head and his black eyes locked onto her accurately. Yu Wanyin was so scared that she clutched her handkerchief and turned her head away in panic.
"Good!" The director called out, and the scene ended.
Both boats stopped, and now they were going to take a long shot. The photographer on Mingwei's side moved to the director's side. Mingwei didn't need to move. The makeup artist checked her makeup. She casually observed the staff, and her eyes somehow moved to Mu Tingzhou standing at the stern of the opposite boat. Their eyes met for a short second, and the next moment, Mu Tingzhou looked away, his expression cold.
He always had a cold face, but Mingwei was used to it. She enjoyed the lake breeze and continued filming.
The boating process was all shot with long shots and was very smooth. When the boat arrived at the Guihua Island Pier, the shooting was paused and the photographer moved to Mingwei's boat again to take close-ups.
The boat was stable, and a maid went ashore first to pick up the young lady, while another maid paid the boat fare and supported Yu Wanyin. But when Yu Wanyin stepped onto the boat, the boat under her suddenly shook violently. She screamed in fear, and just as her body tilted to the left, two big hands suddenly grabbed her shoulders.
Yu Wanyin looked back in shock.
Gao Changsheng looked down at her and met her big watery eyes. He suddenly leaned over as if to kiss her.
Yu Wanyin dodged instinctively, but Gao Changsheng stopped when he was about to kiss her, looked at her, then moved to her ear and whispered, "I, Gao Changsheng, have lived for 25 years, and this is the first time I've seen such a pretty woman. Keep the money, I like you and I'm in a good mood, so I'll give you a ride for free."
Yu Wanyin blushed like a frightened rabbit, but she had no courage to fight back. When she got ashore, she angrily threw a few copper coins at the man standing on the bow of the boat, blushing and cursing: "Who needs your gift? You are a poor boatman and you have the nerve to pretend to be generous. When you can afford to drive a rickshaw, maybe I will look at you more!"
After saying that, he strode forward.
Gao Changsheng rubbed his arm that was hit by the copper coin, but his eyes were always fixed on the eldest lady who was walking away, like a wild dog looking at a meat bun, the more he looked, the greedier he became.
This scene was shot three times.
The photo shoot was finally completed and Mingwei had a thin layer of sweat on her face. There was nothing she could do as it was still quite hot in the south of the Yangtze River during the day in October.
Suddenly a shadow fell overhead. Mingwei looked up and saw a green parasol. The person holding the umbrella was Mu Tingzhou. This movie emperor really treated himself as his assistant.
"Thank you, I'll do it myself." Facing the gossipy eyes of the staff around her, Ming Wei felt guilty and panicked, like a primary school student who took advantage of the teacher's illness and ordered the teacher to serve her.
Mu Tingzhou looked at her and said nothing. He looked forward, but he stood beside her like a pine tree, with one hand raised high to shade her from the sun. He didn't listen to his advice. Mingwei turned around with the thermos cup in her arms, drinking water with her back to everyone. The water was warm, and her face was warm as she looked at the two figures scattered side by side on the ground.
A few meters away, Chen Zhang finished talking to his assistant, turned around, and saw two people across from him. The man was dressed in a black suit, tall and slender, exuding aloof arrogance. He had always looked down on everyone, but now he was holding an umbrella for her as if no one was around. The petite girl lowered her head and stood under the umbrella, so close to him that she seemed to be whispering to him.
In the busy and chaotic shooting scene, everyone consciously kept a distance from the two people, as if they tacitly acknowledged their relationship.
Chen Zhang frowned, handed the thermos cup to his assistant, and walked over with a smile.
"We have to go to the island soon. Can you walk?" he asked Mingwei familiarly.
Mingwei turned around and saw Chen Zhang with his arms exposed. It must be said that Chen Zhang really had a good figure. When Chen Zhang held her shoulders on the boat, Mingwei could fully feel the powerful strength of a man.
"This little distance is nothing. You underestimate me." Ming Wei said with a smile.
Chen Zhang said: "Let's go together, the scenery here is pretty good."
"Yeah." Mingwei didn't think much about the acquaintances walking together.
"I'll hold the umbrella for you, and I can also block the traffic." Chen Zhang took the umbrella from Mu Tingzhou very naturally.
"No need, Mr. Chen." Mu Tingzhou refused indifferently, and very abruptly stood in front of Mingwei, looking directly at Chen Zhang and said, "The princess is not particular about trivial matters and doesn't mind Mr. Chen exposing his arms, but as the Grand Tutor, I have the responsibility to take care of the princess. I won't take care of her during the filming. After the filming, please get dressed neatly before talking to the princess."
I've disliked Chen Zhang for a long time.
Chen Zhang knew that the movie star was ill, but today was the first time he had truly experienced the movie star's illness. Mu Tingzhou was the movie star with superb acting skills. As a junior, Chen Zhang sincerely respected Mu Tingzhou, but when it came to Mingwei, it was not a contest between the two actors. If he compromised, he would be inferior to Mu Tingzhou.
"This... do you mind?" After the accident, Chen Zhang took a step away and asked Ming Wei.
Mingwei was extremely embarrassed. She hid behind Mu Tingzhou and secretly shook her head at Chen Zhang.
Chen Zhang smiled: "Then I won't change. It's a bit hot to wear a coat in this weather."
He smiled brightly and only spoke to Mingwei, but he insulted Mu Tingzhou with his actions.
Mu Tingzhou turned around and faced Mingwei. His deep black eyes were calm and there was no blame at all.
But Mingwei felt inexplicably guilty. She didn't dare to look at Mu Tingzhou, nor did she want to force Chen Zhang to put on his coat. When she looked down and saw the shadow on the ground, Mingwei suddenly had an idea and looked up at Chen Zhang and said, "The roads on the island are narrow, and it's not convenient for two people to share an umbrella. I'd better use my own. If you're afraid of getting too hot, go get another one."
After saying that, she tried to grab Mu Tingzhou's umbrella. Mu Tingzhou was caught off guard, and when her slightly cool little hand touched him, he immediately let go.
Mingwei chuckled, lowered the umbrella to cover her face, and breathed a sigh of relief silently.
Chen Zhang didn't go to get an umbrella, and neither did Mu Tingzhou. They both followed Ming Wei.
After arriving on the island, everyone continued filming and returned to the hotel at noon.
Mingwei went back to her room, and Xiao Zhao went to Mu Tingzhou's room.
"Something?" Mu Tingzhou unbuttoned his shirt and prepared to take a shower.
"Let me talk to you." Xiao Zhao sat on the chair and looked at his friend seriously. Mu Tingzhou really wanted to be Ming Wei's assistant, but he came here to take care of Mu Tingzhou. He saw everything that Mu Tingzhou and Chen Zhang had to say in the morning. Xiao Zhao was not a psychologist, so he didn't know how to help Mu Tingzhou scientifically, but he had to remind Mu Tingzhou of something appropriately, which might help him recover his memory.
Mu Tingzhou sat opposite him and listened attentively.
"Chen Zhang likes the princess, you can see that, right?" Xiao Zhao pushed his glasses and said affirmatively.
Mu Tingzhou lowered his eyes and agreed.
"Then I want to know, the princess has reached the age to choose a prince consort, why does the tutor oppose Chen Zhang getting close to the princess?" Locking his eyes on Mu Tingzhou, Xiao Zhao asked sharply, "Does he think there is something wrong with Chen Zhang and that he is not worthy of the princess, or is it because the princess is so beautiful that the tutor can't help but be moved and subconsciously wants to monopolize the princess?"
Ming Wei has outstanding looks, a likable personality, and is serious about filming. She is a beauty who easily attracts romantic interests, so it is normal for Chen Zhang and Mu Tingzhou to be attracted to her.
Mu Tingzhou lowered his head and untied his watch: "Chen Zhang's words are frivolous and he is not worthy of the princess."
"And you?"
"I am the Grand Tutor and I have the duty to protect the princess." After putting away the watch, Mu Tingzhou stood up and glanced at Xiao Zhao coldly: "Next time you say such nonsense, I will ignore it. Let's go."
"That sounds nice, but you know exactly what's going on." Xiao Zhao looked at him deeply, went out, and closed the door behind him.
Mu Tingzhou stood there for a while, took off his clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
He turned on the cold water, and the water continued to fall. Mu Tingzhou closed his eyes, but several scenes flashed through his mind uncontrollably.
She woke up in the ward and sat quietly by the bed, her long eyelashes fluttering, as beautiful as a painting.
In the back seat of the car, she leaned against the chair with a pout on her lips, her petite body wrapped in the curtains, looking aggrieved and pitiful.
In the hotel room, she barged in wearing a red dress showing her legs, with bright and bold eyes, forcing him to look at her...
This is his princess.
When the late emperor entrusted his son to him before his death, she was just a princess, and he knew very little about her. But when he woke up one day, she was beside him, no longer a princess in name only, but a real girl. She got angry, cried, acted like a spoiled child, and laughed. He didn't notice anything at the time, but when he recalled it later, he remembered every scene, as clearly as if it were a replay.
Why is this happening
He couldn't explain it clearly, he only knew that she was a princess and he was her tutor.
After turning off the shower, Mu Tingzhou wiped his face and went to get a bath towel. He paused for a moment and tilted his head to look at the mirror.
The man in the mirror has long arms, a solid chest, and four rows of symmetrical abdominal muscles that are both obvious and restrained.
"Actually, the Master has a great figure..."
Her teasing voice suddenly rang in his ears, and Mu Tingzhou's expression changed. He grabbed the bath towel and turned around, wiping his head carelessly. (83 Chinese.83.)
