The Grand Tutor is going to marry someone else. In order to prove her position in the Grand Tutor's heart, Princess Minghua climbed up the tree again and insisted that the Grand Tutor come to pick her up. However, the Grand Tutor sent someone to ask the Queen Mother for help, who scolded Princess Minghua mercilessly... In the imperial study, Princess Minghua deliberately pricked her finger while embroidering a purse, and blood gushed out, but the Grand Tutor turned a blind eye... Princess Minghua deliberately got intimate with the prince who loved her, but the Grand Tutor remained indifferent.
Princess Minghua was about to collapse. She finally thought of her tutor's fiancée and left the palace immediately.
The Grand Tutor got the news and rushed to Lord Guo's house in advance to ask Jin'er to perform a play with him. Princess Minghua hurried over and saw the Grand Tutor and Jin'er sitting under the willows by the lake. The Grand Tutor lowered his head to teach Jin'er to play the zither, with gentle eyes. The man was elegant and handsome, and the woman was quiet and beautiful, just like a match made in heaven.
Princess Minghua left with a broken heart.
In almost every scene, Mingwei cried, sometimes with tears in her eyes but unable to fall, sometimes with tears falling like rain. Director Zhang was very patient, he saw Mingwei's potential and wanted to help her tap it, so in the first crying scene, he gave Mingwei enough time to build up her emotions, and if Mingwei really couldn't cry, he would put eye drops in her eyes.
Tragedy is more likely to touch people's hearts than comedy. Mingwei was really immersed in the role. Whenever she thought of Princess Minghua's final outcome, she could successfully cry. Her realistic performance won the recognition of Director Zhang, who treated Mingwei like his apprentice and gave him guidance from time to time. This showed that the director valued her talent.
Mingwei only immersed herself in the role superficially, while the deep immersion is like Mu Tingzhou, who lived in the role during filming and was still affected by the emotions of the role after filming. When the Grand Tutor got engaged, Princess Minghua was sad, and the more emotionally mature Grand Tutor was more distressed than her, which led to Mu Tingzhou becoming more and more withdrawn outside the play, keeping to himself and ignoring everyone.
Mingwei respects and fears Mu Tingzhou. She would never get close to him unless necessary, but would give her all during filming.
After the filming was finished in the evening, Director Zhang talked to Ming Wei and Mu Tingzhou alone.
Mingwei had just finished filming a crying scene in bed, her eyes were red, and Mu Tingzhou had a hint of sadness in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was still in the play.
It was already past nine o'clock. Director Zhang was brief and to the point. He coughed and asked, "What do you think of tomorrow's kissing scene?"
Ming Wei looked down at the ground. Mu Tingzhou was an award-winning actor, the husband of millions of female fans. She was a newcomer. If they were to film a kissing scene, anyone would think she was the one taking advantage. In this case, it was not appropriate for her to express her opinion first. But there was nothing to worry about. Mu Tingzhou never filmed kissing scenes. At most, he would kiss with someone else. He would definitely refuse this time.
Director Zhang mainly asked Mu Tingzhou.
Mu Tingzhou thought about the plot and said with certainty, "Do we need a close-up?"
Director Zhang nodded: "A kiss is simple, just keep your lips together and don't move, but this shot needs to be beautiful and tragic, so it has to be a close-up. How about you put some plastic wrap on your lips?"
Mingwei looked confused. Is this possible
Mu Tingzhou, who likes to shoot serious dramas and has only filmed kissing scenes a few times, has also never come into contact with this kind of plastic wrap.
Seeing that Mu Tingzhou was somewhat resistant, Director Zhang touched his nose and tried hard to persuade him: "The character of Princess Minghua this time is quite special. If the kissing scene is removed, the princess's personality will be different before and after."
Mingwei continued to act as an invisible person. In fact, it was just a simple touch of lips. She didn't care much, so she accepted any result.
Mu Tingzhou frowned.
His father is a famous director, and his mother is a best-selling author and screenwriter. Mu Tingzhou has been acting since he was a child, and he has the right to choose scripts and reasonably change the plots. But Mu Tingzhou doesn't want to be special, and he knows that he resists having too close physical contact with strangers. The dramas he takes are all plot-oriented and not emotional, and "The Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty" is no exception.
But when he first read the script, he only focused on the role of the tutor and ignored the princess's personality, which made a kissing scene inevitable.
"Do you mind?" Mu Tingzhou asked Mingwei.
Ming Wei would be stupid to say that she minded. She smiled generously: "It depends on the plot. I will listen to you."
"Then let's apply the film." Mu Tingzhou did not hesitate any longer, and at the same time warned himself to read the script more carefully in the future.
Director Zhang was very satisfied.
Mingwei was depressed. As a woman, her self-esteem was more or less hurt when a man disdained to kiss her directly.
Fortunately, they are just minor emotions and will be forgotten in a blink of an eye.
The next day, Mingwei arrived at the set half an hour early. After putting on her makeup, she sat alone in the lounge, quietly getting into the mood.
After two rehearsals, Director Zhang gave the two leading actors another 20 minutes to prepare for the kissing scene.
The staff all left and considerately closed the door. The "Imperial Study" was filled with silent embarrassment. Ming Wei tilted her head slightly and whispered to the actor sitting next to her, "Hey, what do you need us to do?" She was a newcomer and needed advice from her seniors, not to mention an intimate scene.
"Rehearse the kissing scene." Mu Tingzhou said lightly.
Ming Wei was speechless, but time was limited, so she could only continue to ask: "How do we arrange it?"
Mu Tingzhou looked at her sideways, was silent for two seconds, and said, "Come and kiss me."
The plot is that Princess Minghua takes the initiative to kiss the tutor.
He had a dead face, without any expression, but Mingwei's face turned red, she was not used to such straightforward words. But she understood Mu Tingzhou's logic, slowly hummed, and tried to walk towards Mu Tingzhou calmly. Mu Tingzhou looked at her, frowned and said: "It's okay to blush now, you have to be sad when taking pictures, don't let people see that you are shy."
The harsh preaching successfully shattered Mingwei's reserve.
Why are you shy? It's just a movie!
After closing her eyes for a while, Ming Wei opened them again. She was very calm and stopped in front of Mu Tingzhou with both hands on his shoulders. She was too close, and she saw Mu Tingzhou's long eyebrows twitched, as if he was enduring something.
I'm being disliked again...
That's good. Knowing that Mu Tingzhou didn't have any romantic intentions, Mingwei felt more at ease.
She slowly lowered her head and approached Mu Tingzhou little by little. He closed his eyes, his long and thick eyelashes did not move at all, and he was as still as a statue, and she could not even feel his breathing. If she did this with a normal man, Mingwei would never be able to remain calm, but thank God, Mu Tingzhou was not normal.
When her lips were about to touch Mu Tingzhou's, Ming Wei stopped in time and stepped back. She said lightly, "I'm fine, how about you?"
"I'll go open the door." Mu Tingzhou stood up directly.
Director Zhang and the photographers came back in, and the makeup artists put lip safety masks on the leading actors and started shooting immediately.

In the imperial study, Princess Minghua, who had disappeared for many days, came to class again with the little emperor.
The Grand Tutor only had eyes for the little emperor, and Princess Minghua sat there blankly, with only eyes for him.
After the class was over, Princess Minghua called the tutor and asked the little emperor to leave first.
"Princess, is there anything I can do for you?" the Grand Tutor asked respectfully, with his eyes lowered.
"You really don't have me in your heart?" Princess Minghua tilted her head, tears in her eyes.
The Grand Tutor saw it, but his eyes only showed the guilt of a subject: "I taught the princess according to the will of the late emperor, and never had any thoughts. It is my fault that the princess misunderstood."
Tears rolled down her cheeks, and Princess Minghua looked at him stubbornly: "I don't believe it."
The Grand Tutor smiled bitterly, took two steps back, bowed and saluted: "This is the fact. Princess, if you don't believe it, I can't do anything about it. Please excuse me and take my leave."
After saying this, he turned and was about to leave.
"Stop!" Princess Minghua wiped her face and ran to the Grand Tutor in three or two steps. As a result, when she looked up, she bumped into the Grand Tutor's frowning brows due to impatience. Her tears fell again, and she cried and trembled: "I don't believe anything you say. Unless you let me kiss you and let me feel it myself, otherwise I will pester you for the rest of my life."
