The filming of White Snake started. Xu Xiu, the chairman of Xu Group, who happened to be in Hangzhou for a business meeting, took time to come and watch the ceremony. Xu Group is the second largest investor in White Snake, so it is not surprising that the leader came to take a look. He appeared in a low-key manner. Mingwei was concentrating on watching the leader's speech on the stage. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Mu Tingzhou turning his head to the other side. Mu Tingzhou was tall and big, wearing that black tennis cap, standing out from the crowd. The slightest movement would attract attention. Seeing him looking out, Mingwei subconsciously turned her head to look over. In the center of the entrance, a man in a black haute couture suit walked slowly, facing the curious looks of the crew members on both sides. The man was graceful, like a king coming to the world. Half a lifetime had passed by quickly, leaving a few wrinkles on his face, but it also gave him a restrained and elegant charm, like a top-grade jade. Recognizing Xu Xiu, Mingwei immediately retracted her gaze and pursed her lips. Behind Mu Tingzhou, Xiao Zhao coughed lightly. Mingwei ignored him. At the opening banquet in the evening, Mingwei, Mu Tingzhou and Wang Ling, the actor who played the Green Snake, were all arranged to sit at the table of senior leaders. As early as the moment Xu Xiu appeared in the daytime, Mingwei had expected this situation to happen, but the opening and wrap-up banquets were of great significance to the crew. Mingwei was in the crew and it would be inappropriate not to attend. "Weiwei Tingzhou, this is Director Xu." When the two leading actors arrived, the producer started to introduce them to the investors. "Hello, Miss Ming." Xu Xiu smiled and extended his hand. Mingwei showed a polite smile and shook hands briefly. Xu Xiu did not show any obvious abnormality to his daughter. After the courtesy, everyone sat down. On Mingwei's left was Mu Tingzhou, on the right was Green Snake Wang Ling, and on Mu Tingzhou's left was director Mu Chong. Compared with Xu Xiu, Mingwei was more concerned about her boyfriend's father tonight, who would also be her immediate boss for the next five months. Mu Chong and Xu Xiu are about the same age, and are both handsome middle-aged uncles with outstanding temperament. But maybe it's psychological reason, Mingwei feels that Mu Chong looks more formal than Xu, and more like a serious cultural worker. She was so absorbed in watching that someone suddenly pushed her high heels lightly. Mingwei reacted quickly, and didn't even look at Mu Tingzhou, and lowered her head to eat. Her biological father and future father-in-law were both at the dinner table, and Mingwei enjoyed the meal. However, during the meal, Xu Xiu didn't talk to other actors except for chatting with Mu Tingzhou. He only smiled and reminded the younger actors before parting after the meal: "Shoot slowly, pay attention to safety, and don't rush." His eyes swept over Mu Tingzhou, Mingwei, Wang Ling, and finally stopped at the director Mu Chong's face. Mu Chong had no expression. Xu Xiu left immediately. Mingwei also wanted to leave, but Mu Tingzhou stopped her with his eyes. Then, after Mu Tingzhou's clever time arrangement, ten minutes later, Mingwei was waiting for the elevator with Mu Tingzhou and his son... "Dad, this is Mingwei." After entering the elevator, they were all family, so Mu Tingzhou finally spoke. Mingwei's cheeks were flushed. She and Mu Chong had met before, and Mu Tingzhou's introduction was naturally the kind of introduction that he would bring his girlfriend to meet his parents. Mu Chong looked at Mingwei and hummed lightly. His cold expression was almost exactly the same as Mu Tingzhou's in the past. Although she had heard about Mu Chong's personality a long time ago, as a girlfriend who was meeting her boyfriend's parents for the first time, Mingwei was somewhat embarrassed by the cold reaction of her boyfriend's father. Just when she was hesitating whether to keep silent or try to find a topic, Mu Chong's voice came from the other side again: "Mother Tingzhou likes you very much. Come to our house for dinner when you are free." Mingwei's cloudy weather turned sunny in an instant, and she smiled like a flower, saying obediently: "Okay... Thank you, uncle." Mu Chong nodded, and the elevator stopped steadily. He stayed where he was, waiting for Mingwei to come out first. Mingwei was overjoyed, and immediately called Mu Tingzhou when she returned to the guest room: "Uncle is so cute." Mu Tingzhou was speechless. How could he be cute when he was so cold to her? The filming officially started the next day. Before this, there have been many adaptations based on the legend of White Snake in China, and each version has its own innovation, but the basic core is that the White Snake is paired with Xu Xian and Fahai breaks up the couple. Dongying's version of "White Snake" is more daring. The opening is that the White Snake and the scholar Xu Xian fall in love, violate the heavenly rules, and are punished by the heavenly court and suppressed under the Leifeng Pagoda. This opening is like a prologue. The real plot of the movie begins when White Snake escapes from Leifeng Pagoda and returns to West Lake. White Snake meets Xu Xian, an apprentice of the medical clinic, on the Broken Bridge. Xu Xian looks exactly like White Snake's former lover Xu Xiansheng, and their names are also very similar. White Snake believes that Xu Xian is the reincarnation of her lover and wants to renew their relationship with him. White Snake is beautiful and charming, and has the unique charm of a snake demon. Xu Xian is deeply in love with her. After several attempts by White Snake, Xu Xian completely falls in love with her and spends his wedding night with White Snake. Not long after the sweet days, a Taoist monk named Fahai comes to the city. Fahai goes to Leifeng Pagoda to discuss Zen with the master, and accidentally discovers that the white snake suppressed under the pagoda has already escaped. Fahai is determined to exorcise demons and save the people. He immediately searches for the white snake and successfully finds it. After marrying Xu Xian, the White Snake lived a relatively happy life. The only small regret was that she did not find the bamboo leaf birthmark of her lover in her previous life on Xu Xian's left shoulder. When Fahai came to her house, she suddenly met a man who looked exactly like her lover. The White Snake was shocked and asked Fahai to show her his left shoulder. For a monk, the White Snake's words were tantamount to deliberate humiliation, so Fahai took action to exorcise the demon. The White Snake had practiced under the Leifeng Pagoda for hundreds of years and her cultivation had reached a higher level. Fahai could not do anything to her at all, and the two could only fight to a draw. In the middle of the fight, the White Snake luckily pulled off Fahai's monk robe and was shocked to find that Fahai did have a bamboo leaf birthmark on his body. From then on, the White Snake ignored the fake Xu Xian and tried every means to get close to Fahai, trying to awaken Fahai's memory. Fahai could not subdue the White Snake and had no solution, so he could only avoid it. The White Snake could not catch up with her sweetheart, so she went to be a couple with Xu Xian again, a fake couple, just to stimulate Fahai. Fahai avoided the white snake, but was worried that the white snake would harm people, so he stayed in Hangzhou. Witnessing Xu Xian being fascinated by the white snake, Fahai told Xu Xian the truth. Xu Xian didn't believe it, so he tried it with realgar wine. The white snake was not afraid of realgar, but she knew it was Fahai's trick, so she deliberately showed her true form. Xu Xian was scared to death, and the white snake was lazy to watch the fun. Fahai had to go to Kunlun Mountain to borrow the Ganoderma lucidum. The immortal refused, and the upright Fahai could only kneel down and beg. He knelt for three days and three nights, and the white snake watched for three days and three nights. In the end, she couldn't bear Fahai's suffering, so she told Fahai the story of their previous lives, and then called her good sister Green Snake to steal the Ganoderma lucidum. The Ganoderma lucidum was stolen, and the immortal was furious and wanted to go to the heaven to complain. Fahai's worldly desires were moved, and he knew that the white snake would not escape death if the heaven intervened, so he promised to subdue the white snake within a time limit. After rescuing Xu Xian, the White Snake knew that she would be held accountable, so she drove away the Green Snake. Fahai secretly captured the Green Snake, hoping that the White Snake would surrender. When the White Snake learned about it, she was furious and flooded the Golden Mountain alone. Fahai and the White Snake fought again. When the people were suffering, the Immortal suddenly appeared and wanted to join forces with Fahai to kill the White Snake. Fahai only wanted to take the White Snake back to the Golden Cymbal, but the Immortal took every move to kill the White Snake. Seeing that the White Snake was about to die, Fahai risked his life to take a palm for her, and stood in front of the White Snake regardless of everything. The Immortal asked Fahai how he could face the people who died in vain. Fahai was deeply tormented by emotions and reason, and could not make a decision. The White Snake was soft-hearted and said goodbye to Fahai in tears. She took the initiative to jump into the Golden Cymbal. Thousands of years of Taoism disappeared in an instant, and turned into a tiny white snake. Fahai suppressed the White Snake at the bottom of Leifeng Pagoda again as agreed, and he also sat in Leifeng Pagoda for his whole life, for love and for Buddha, only he knew. This play is very challenging for Ming Wei and Mu Tingzhou in acting. The first scene is the most difficult. According to the script, the White Snake will go to the lantern festival with the scholar Xu Xian at night. The White Snake is naturally charming and seductive, and her every move is full of charm. Xu Xian follows her obsessively, and his eyes are filled with the gentleness and lingering of the scholar. The difficulty lies in the fact that it is the first time for Ming Wei to play a charming woman, and the first time for Mu Tingzhou to play a pretty boy, and a scholar who is obsessed with a woman. As night falls, the lake is sparkling, the lanterns flow slowly, and the extras are ready. A black-sailed boat slowly floated over the vast sea of smoke. The gauze of the boat awning was blown up and down by the lake breeze. Inside the awning, Ming Wei, wearing a fairy-like white dress, knelt beside a low table, one hand lazily supporting her chin, the other holding a gilded wine pot high up. As the water fell, her red lips slightly parted, and her clear and beautiful eyes glanced at the man in green clothes opposite her. The boat swayed gently, and her body swayed slightly, but all the wine poured into her mouth. The man wore a black lacquered square scarf on his head, handsome and unparalleled, and at this moment he stared at the beauty drinking... "Cut!" The atmosphere was gone, Ming Wei quickly put down the wine pot, lowered her head and wiped the corners of her mouth, feeling uneasy. This scene was shot nine times. Once, she held the wine pot in the wrong posture, twice, she did not hold the wine steadily, twice, her eyes were not charming enough, and the remaining four times were Mu Tingzhou's problem. I don't know who it was this time. "Xu Xian's eyes are not obsessed enough. Basically, Xu Xian is just an ordinary scholar. His eyes should be full of love, and his expression should also show his weakness as a small person." Behind the monitor, Mu Chong was talking seriously about the play. Because he had been stuck too many times, Mu Chong's tone was very bad at this time. Mu Tingzhou lowered his eyes and remained silent. Three minutes later, he filmed again. Ming Wei was now worried about two things at the same time. She was afraid that she would make a mistake and be scolded by her future father-in-law, and she was also worried that Mu Tingzhou would be scolded by his biological father. So during the filming, she had to be careful to maintain her state of being immersed in the play, and she couldn't help but devote a little energy to observe Mu Tingzhou's performance. As a result, when Mu Tingzhou looked at her with lustful eyes and obsession as required by the role, it was different from his usual restraint.Ming Wei burst into laughter, her face was completely different, and all the water in her mouth sprayed out. Mu Tingzhou was quick to catch the wine jug in her hand. Ming Wei coughed with her back to Mu Chong, her heart was so panicked that she almost had no strength to beat. Mu Tingzhou had finally successfully interpreted the role, but she made this lowest-level mistake of laughing after the camera froze ten times. Would Mu Chong be furious? Would he think that she had no acting skills at all and became famous entirely because of the scandal with Mu Tingzhou? The instinct to cough and choke on the water could not be stopped for the time being. Others might think she was laughing, but Ming Wei was really about to cry. It was so stressful to be supervised by the unfamiliar future father-in-law! "Take a five-minute break." There was no reprimand, no criticism, only a cold word. The space inside the boat was not large, and the photography and sound recording staff all retreated to the outside with the director to give the leading actors time to brew their state. Ming Wei hung her head, extremely frustrated. It was not good to be scolded, but she was still nervous when she was not scolded when she should be scolded. "You acted very well. Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Across the table, Mu Tingzhou bowed his head to comfort his girlfriend. Mingwei looked up. Mu Tingzhou's eyebrows were gentle. Frustrated at work, Mingwei couldn't help but vent her temper on her boyfriend, staring at him and said, "It's all your fault. You are usually cold and cold, but now you suddenly become like that. I'll be surprised if I don't laugh." Mu Tingzhou looked at her dimly: "You are taking your anger out on me." Mingwei pouted. Mu Tingzhou surrendered, thinking of something, he smiled: "Let's go back tonight and play together." His voice was ambiguous, and it sounded like he was planning something bad. Mingwei glared at him, but she was not as nervous as before. She advised Mu Tingzhou to prepare well. She closed her eyes and concentrated on finding her state. Five minutes later, Mu Chong and others returned to their positions, and Mingwei and Mu Tingzhou continued to shoot. This time it was a little smoother, and the eye acting was not stuck. "Why is my husband staring at me all the time?" Putting down the wine pot, Mingwei leaned on the table like a drunk, her head resting on her left arm, her right hand tapping the table, and reaching towards Mu Tingzhou little by little. Mu Tingzhou looked at her, his throat rolling, raised his big hand and then put it down politely, looked outside with a guilty look, and advised hoarsely: "It's getting late, let's go back to the wine..." As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed Mingwei's sudden change in eyes, and realized that he had said the wrong line, and immediately shut up. In the script, Xu Xian was eager to see Bai She's seductiveness and wanted to persuade her to go home and sleep with him, but Mu Tingzhou actually said "go back to the hotel." "Go home, go home, is this line difficult?" After ten times of getting stuck, he finally got through a paragraph, and his son actually made another low-level mistake. As early as when Mingwei laughed just now, Mu Chong was on the verge of getting angry, but he was afraid of scaring his future daughter-in-law, so he held back. Now his son ran into the gun himself, and Mu Chong's long-suppressed irritability suddenly broke out. Mingwei sat stiffly, silent. Mu Tingzhou responded lightly: "Sorry." "Continue." Mu Chong said coldly. Xu Xian wanted to go home, but Bai She didn't. She pulled her husband ashore and shuttled through the lights. This part mainly showed Bai She's beauty. Ming Wei had a good appearance, so the shooting went smoothly, but when it came to the interaction between the two, it was easy to get stuck. The shooting started at 6 pm and ended at 10 pm. During these four hours, Ming Wei was trembling with fear. On the way back to the hotel, she was really exhausted. "Do you want me to go?" After taking a shower, Mu Tingzhou called. Ming Wei said bitterly: "Forget it, let's pretend that we don't know each other for the next five months and focus on shooting." If she and Mu Tingzhou were not lovers and were not so familiar with each other, it shouldn't be so difficult to shoot interactive scenes. "The First Assistant of the Ming Dynasty" and "Qinglong" are both positive examples. Mu Tingzhou did not object. In the next few days, Ming Wei stayed with the supporting actors and tried to keep a distance from Mu Tingzhou, which did have a certain effect. In the busyness, Qingming Festival arrived, and the scenery in Jiangnan was picturesque everywhere, ushering in the peak tourist season. Although the crew tried to shoot in scenic spots with few tourists, the fans were too enthusiastic. Wherever the nanny car drove, a group of fans would follow and watch the shooting. During the intermission that day, Mingwei sat in the shade of a tree to touch up her makeup and closed her eyes to rest. Suddenly, she heard a delicate voice: "Brother Tingzhou..." Mingwei's eyelids moved, but she resisted opening them. She was calm enough, but the makeup artist looked over curiously and saw a young and beautiful girl hiding behind two bodyguards, standing on tiptoes, waving enthusiastically at Mu Tingzhou: "Brother Tingzhou, they won't let me in, you quickly testify for me." The makeup artist turned to Mu Tingzhou. Mu Tingzhou sat sideways, glanced at the girl, and left without any emotion. The makeup artist smiled, believing that the girl was deliberately attracting attention. Just as the thought came to an end, she heard the girl say arrogantly: "Xiao Zhao, why don't you come over to help me? Believe it or not, I will reveal your secret!" Now even Mingwei opened her eyes.
