"With such a high level of performance after only one month of training, Mingwei is destined to be an actress."
After the playback, Director Zhang stretched and turned to chat with Mu Tingzhou, "You are really good at judging people. On the day of the final selection meeting for the female lead, I really liked Mingwei's temperament and image, but I have no confidence in her acting skills. If you hadn't supported Mingwei, our crew might have missed a good seedling."
Everyone in the directors circle knows that Mu Tingzhou will not recommend actors easily, but those he recommends are definitely talented.
"Looking at the photos, her temperament is more suitable. I know nothing about other aspects." Mu Tingzhou did not want to take credit for it, so he left after saying this.
Director Zhang continued to work on other things.
The brief interaction between the two fell into the eyes of Mingwei, who was always keeping an eye on Mu Tingzhou, and immediately became a mystery that tickled her heart. Mu Tingzhou had such a sour face, did he say something bad about her
The sense of crisis can crush some people, but it can also stimulate some people to burst out with greater strength. Mingwei didn't want to leave the group in disgrace. Since Mu Tingzhou hadn't issued an ultimatum, she kept her composure and tried to improve her impression with her subsequent performance. The filming in the morning went smoothly. In the afternoon, Mingwei only had one scene with Mu Tingzhou, and then she played with other characters.
Around five o'clock, the crew temporarily called it a day. Director Zhang specially chatted with Ming Wei alone for a while, first affirming her performance today, and then jokingly said: "Today is your first day of filming, go back to the hotel to rest, and summarize your experience in the evening. We have to rehearse in the evening starting tomorrow, so let's try to finish the palace scenes as soon as possible."
Mingwei quickly said that she could also shoot tonight.
Director Zhang smiled and told her to remove her makeup.
Mingwei returned to the hotel. It was almost seven o'clock. The filming was very tiring and she was hungry. She went to eat with her assistant. The moment she walked into the restaurant, Mingwei subconsciously looked for Mu Tingzhou, but she looked around and couldn't find him. Mingwei was very anxious. She was embarrassed to ask director Mu Tingzhou if he had said something bad about her. She didn't have Mu Tingzhou's contact information, but if she couldn't confirm Mu Tingzhou's answer in advance, she might not be able to sleep tonight, let alone prepare for tomorrow's filming.
Knowing that Mu Tingzhou was in the hotel, Mingwei deliberately ate slowly until the assistant, who had no need to control his diet and carried a lot of food, had finished eating. Only then did Mingwei put down her chopsticks with mixed feelings, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and walked out of the restaurant.
The elevator came down and the door opened. There were three passengers inside. Ming Wei glanced around and unexpectedly saw Mu Tingzhou's assistant Xiao Zhao.
Their eyes met, Xiao Zhao nodded to Ming Wei, gave a gentle smile, and stepped out of the elevator, ready to leave.
"Mr. Xiao..." Mingwei called out instinctively, hesitantly and without confidence.
Her voice was not loud, but Xiao Zhao heard it and stopped to look at her: "Miss Ming, is there something wrong?"
Ming Wei tried to explain as naturally as possible: "I have a question about filming and would like to ask Mr. Mu for advice. Can you give me his contact information?"
"inconvenient."
Xiao Zhao's answer was unexpectedly straightforward, but his gentle smile somewhat eased Ming Wei's embarrassment. Ming Wei tried to maintain her smile and was about to find a way out. Xiao Zhao continued, "I believe Miss Ming really has something important to do, but a female star used this excuse to ask for Tingzhou's number and harassed him maliciously. Tingzhou was very unhappy, so I dare not give any female star any convenience again."
Ming Wei understood and said sincerely, "I understand. I'll ask him again when I see him tomorrow."
Xiao Zhao quickly gave a room number, and looked at Ming Wei meaningfully through his gold-rimmed glasses with a pair of eyes that could see through fire. "If it's urgent, Miss Ming can go directly to his room to find him. As long as it's related to acting, Tingzhou is still willing to help. I have something else to do, so I'll leave you."
After saying this, she left gracefully with an elegant back.
"So handsome." The assistant's eyes were filled with pink bubbles again.
Mingwei was struggling over whether she should go to Mu Tingzhou immediately to get things clear.
She didn't have much time to think about it. The elevator stopped at the third floor in the blink of an eye. The assistant was about to go out, and Ming Wei suddenly reached out and pressed the top floor button: "I have something to talk to Mr. Mu about. Let's go together."
"Okay, okay!" Of course the assistant was willing to see the actor one more time.

Mu Tingzhou lives in the presidential suite. The corridor is more luxurious and quiet than the one downstairs.
Ming Wei asked her assistant to stop at a distance, and when she saw that she could not hear her conversation with Mu Tingzhou, she went to knock on the door alone.
Footsteps were soon heard from inside. Mingwei's heart beat faster and her body stiffened, as if facing a great enemy.
The door opened, and Mu Tingzhou, with his short and neat hair, was seen inside. When he saw her, his eyes were calm, without any emotion. He looked at Ming Wei indifferently, waiting for her to speak first.
Ming Wei didn't want to waste time being polite when dealing with such an arrogant person, so she pointed to his chest and asked, "Do you approve of my acting skills? If..."
"I don't agree." As expected of the inseparable actor and assistant, Mu Tingzhou's answer was as direct as Xiao Zhao's, but colder.
But Mingwei, who had worked hard for a day but was ruthlessly denied, had red eyes all of a sudden. It was because girls are thin-skinned, but more because she felt wronged. Director Zhang had affirmed her many times, and Mingwei could see that it was not fake. She had reason to believe that her level was qualified for the role of Princess Minghua. Why did Mu Tingzhou maliciously target her
She was angry, but also very clear that she could not resist Mu Tingzhou.
"I will quit the group tomorrow morning." Trying hard to hold back her tears, Ming Wei turned and left.
"You don't want to shoot anymore?"
The man asked a question from behind, his voice was cold and raised. Ming Wei took two steps before she realized what he meant. She couldn't believe it, afraid that she might have misunderstood him. She took a deep breath and turned her back to Mu Tingzhou and asked, "What do you mean? Didn't you say that my acting skills were not good and asked me to quit the group?"
Mu Tingzhou was still standing inside the door. If Mingwei turned around, she could only see half of his body and half of his face. Although Mu Tingzhou could see Mingwei's whole body, he did not look at Mingwei. Instead, he lowered his head to look at his watch and spoke casually, "Your acting skills are immature. I really don't approve of it, but you have talent and are willing to work hard. The role you present can barely make the audience immersed in the play. Since Director Zhang is willing to use you, I don't care."
His acting is immature and he is barely getting into the role. It sounds like he is disparaging Ming Wei.
But Mingwei was overjoyed. At this moment, her biggest wish was to be able to stay in the crew!
"Thanks… "
Ming Wei was so happy that she turned around excitedly and said "thank you". Seeing Mu Tingzhou's half-indifferent face exposed, Ming Wei suddenly calmed down. Thank you, she had already joined the group, but it was Mu Tingzhou who made things difficult for her without reason, causing her to be worried since last night and not have a good meal.
Ming Wei swallowed the word "you" that was yet to come out of her mouth, pursed her lips, held her head high and walked away with quick steps.
Mu Tingzhou closed the door, and Mingwei's unconscious action of lowering her head just now suddenly emerged in his mind. The girl with a delicate and beautiful face, with red eyes and slightly pouting pink lips, expressed the expression of a wronged woman vividly and incisively, which made people feel pity for her. When Mingwei can make such a natural reaction when filming, he will definitely not be stingy with a compliment.

Mingwei successfully stayed in the crew. Except for her and Mu Tingzhou, no one knew about the tense friction between the two. Moreover, Mu Tingzhou was very focused during filming and didn't like chatting with others outside of the play. Even if someone saw Mingwei not being polite and respectful to Mu Tingzhou like she was to other veteran actors, they would automatically understand that Mingwei was afraid of Mu Tingzhou. They never expected that Mingwei was just too lazy to pay attention to the high-ranking actor.
Mingwei, on the other hand, despised Mu Tingzhou's arrogant temper, but admired his acting skills. During breaks, she watched Mu Tingzhou's filming with other actors and secretly learned from him. As an excellent interpreter who needs super thinking and reaction ability, Mingwei has a flexible mind and excellent understanding. There are so many veteran actors in the crew who are willing to guide newcomers. Mingwei absorbs acting knowledge almost eagerly and makes rapid progress.
In just one month, Ming Wei gained the love of most of the crew members. The main characters in "The Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty" are male roles, and the important supporting roles are all male supporting roles. Rare things are valuable. Ming Wei, the female lead, is beautiful, peaceful and easy to get along with. Every time Ming Wei finishes filming, there will be male supporting roles who are taking a break to come over, either to chat or to show their courtesy, which adds a lot of fun to Ming Wei's hard work of filming.
Mingwei had all the scenes with Mu Tingzhou that day. They finished filming in the evening and had more to do at night. They had dinner in the studio.
Coming down from the theater, someone greeted Ming Wei from afar: "Princess, come here quickly. The prince consort has grabbed the best lunch box for you!"
Everyone laughed in good faith.
Mingwei liked this friendly and enthusiastic working atmosphere. She trotted over with her overly long skirt lifted up and her beautiful smile.
The lunch boxes of the leading actors were all similar, and of course it was not snatched away by the Prince Consort Chen Zhang. However, Chen Zhang reserved the most convenient seat for Mingwei to eat, next to him. When Mingwei sat down, Chen Zhang even helped her lift the hem of her skirt, which was mopping the ground. He was very gentlemanly.
"Do you think our prince consort will turn the fake into reality?" Xiao Zhao retracted his gaze and whispered to the actor who was having dinner alone.
Mu Tingzhou ate slowly and ignored everything.
The lively mortals continue to be lively, and the lonely movie star continues to be lonely.
The studio was filled with the rich aroma of food. The producer came in from outside, sniffed, and looked at the actors eating their boxed lunches. He smiled and clapped, then loudly announced a good news: "Tomorrow, the CEOs of several investors will come to visit the set. We will treat you to a better meal tonight. Everyone come early!"
"Minghua."
After looking for a long time, the prince consort slowly sat down, leaned over and called softly.
Princess Minghua opened her eyes, her dazed gaze first fell on the man's bright red wedding gown, she turned her head slightly, looked up lazily and blankly, and what caught her eye was her beloved tutor. His long eyebrows were straight, his face was calm, and his dark eyes, as unfathomable as a deep pool, stared at her steadily, wanting to speak but not being able to.
"Master?" Princess Minghua's brows lit up and she sat up happily, "Why are you here?" She had no idea that this was just an illusion.
The Grand Tutor smiled, which was rare, with gentle eyes: "You and I are already married, have you forgotten, Princess?"
Princess Minghua blinked her eyes, thought blankly, then suddenly smiled and lowered her head shyly. Yes, she married the tutor.
After a brief moment of shyness, Princess Minghua happily threw herself into the man's arms, hugged him tightly, and said childishly and coquettishly: "I knew that you always have me in your heart." After that, she raised her head and greedily looked at the man above her head.
The beauty was as gorgeous as a flower. The tutor gently touched her long black hair, then suddenly fell down while holding Princess Minghua, with half of his body pressing down on her.
So heavy...
Mingwei complained with her eyes closed. Before this year, she had never expected that the first time she was dominated by a man would be like this.
The light in the tent was very dim, because the camera could not capture Mingwei, so Mingwei could rest, but Mu Tingzhou had to perform a short segment. Noticing Mingwei's tightly furrowed brows, Mu Tingzhou tried his best to support the bed with his left elbow, then slowly raised his legs and let his feet leave the ground. As a serious drama, the bridal chamber scene ended here, and Mu Tingzhou did not need to do any other movements, but even if he did not move, he could still feel Mingwei's softness through the place where their bodies were touching.
The arms, legs and chest are soft. The woman looks slender and thin, but when you hug her, she feels round and comfortable, making you want to pinch her.
"good!"
His thoughts were interrupted, and Mu Tingzhou immediately let go of Mingwei and left.
Ming Wei heaved a long sigh of relief and sat up on the bed. She saw Mu Tingzhou had already walked to the center of the room. Director Zhang smiled and nodded at her: "The filming was good. We'll stop here tonight. Let's pack up and go back to the hotel to rest!"
Ming Wei completely relaxed and followed her assistant to remove her makeup. She was so tired that she didn't want to pay attention to anyone.
The more tired you are, the better you sleep. Mingwei slept like a pig that night. In the top floor suite, Mu Tingzhou also fell asleep smoothly, but he had a dream. In the dream, he was the Taifu, the Taifu in the wedding night. At first, it seemed like he was still acting. He led the sick Jin'er into the bridal chamber, but at this point, the plot suddenly changed. The veil was lifted, and the bride turned out to be Princess Minghua.
"I know you always have me in your heart."
Princess Minghua threw herself into his arms passionately, spoke to him with a smile, and then they both fell on the bed.
A woman with a soft body, repetitive and regular movements...
