Wang Hui was extremely anxious: "Second Master, it's quite cold today. If you get caught in the rain, won't you get sick?"
Lu Wenzhou discovered that he always saw Zhou Tao in her most difficult, embarrassing and pitiful moments.
He got out of the car. It wasn't raining there. A sprinkler truck was used on the set to create artificial rainfall.
In autumn, the temperature hovered around ten degrees. He wore a suit and the cold wind blew over him. He knew how cold it would be if the rain poured down on his head.
He walked to the back of the staff, and the rain fell, only pouring on Zhou Tao and the palace maids beside her.
She was wearing thin clothes and kneeling outside the vermilion palace gate. The rain was pouring down and her left cheek was vaguely visibly red and swollen.
Recalling what Wen Qiao said, she was slapped in the face. In order to achieve a realistic effect, someone actually did it, and it was filmed several times.
Lu Wenzhou felt as if his heart was grabbed by something, and his breathing was a little difficult. On this autumn night, he felt stuffy and could hardly breathe.
Her maid was reciting the lines, but it seemed that she was not reciting them smoothly, so the director stopped her several times.
"Tingting, you are feeling angry right now, complaining for your master, and you feel that a mere nobleman can punish your master to kneel down. But because you are just a palace maid, although you are angry, you still have some concerns and dare not complain and curse recklessly. You have to grasp the right balance, understand?"
The girl named Tingting nodded: "Director, I understand."
"Zhou Tao's acting is good. Tingting, you have to get into the role quickly. Otherwise, it's too cold in this weather. You two will catch a cold if you get wet, you know?"
Tingting rubbed her hands while two makeup artists touched up their makeup. Zhou Tao whispered a few words to Tingting and analyzed the characters' psychology.
Tingting took a deep breath and said, "Let's try to pass it in one try this time."
The director yelled 'action' and Zhou Tao knelt down again. Tingting said angrily, "That noble lady Hui is really abominable. She dares to ignore you just because she is the emperor's new favorite. You are a concubine and she is a noble lady. How can she punish you to kneel here? Master, I will go find the emperor."
Zhou Tao lowered her eyes and said, "No need, the emperor won't see you. Kneel down. It's only half an hour."
"Can… "
"Okay, no need to say more."
Finally, this one passed smoothly, and Xiao Ai immediately rushed over with a coat and a thermos cup: "Taozi, come with me and get in the car first and change your wet clothes."
Xiao Ai pulled Zhou Tao towards the nanny car on the side. Zhou Tao seemed to see a familiar figure at the end of the crowd, looking towards her. He was wearing a dark suit, standing in the autumn wind, looking quiet. She couldn't help but look at him twice more, and then was dragged into the nanny car by Xiao Ai.
In the car, Xiao Ai hurriedly helped Zhou Tao change her clothes and handed her a thermos cup: "I prepared ginger tea early in the morning. Drink it up quickly. Is it cold?"
Zhou Tao smiled and shook her head. Xiao Ai touched her hand and said, "You, just try to be strong. That Tingting is really something. She always gets stuck and makes you spend so much time in cold water for nothing."
Zhou Tao smiled and said, "Don't say that outside. She acted very well. It's normal for her to lose her emotions for a while."
Xiao Ai sighed, "I just feel sorry for you. Tell me, in recent scenes, you either get slapped or kneel down as punishment. This role is too miserable."
"There are gains and losses. Even though she is in trouble now, she will rise again in the future and eventually become the queen mother. Isn't that what people do? They have ups and downs."
