Therefore, many rivals and marketing accounts are on guard against the explosion of this drama.
Not far away, the stagehand shouted on a loud speaker: "Extras, get ready. This scene is a group scene. Remember what I just told you. Everyone needs to make expressions. Don't just stand there in a daze."
Then, the script supervisor trotted over to Zhou Tao and said, "Mr. Zhou, please get ready. We are about to go on stage. Let's go through it first, and then we will officially start shooting."
The scene Zhou Taoshi performed was a scene of playing in the water beside the rockery in the Old Summer Palace. This was also the scene of her first encounter with the emperor.
Filming is not done according to the plot, but according to the scene.
So even though we’ve been filming for a few months, we only shot the first meeting scene today.
It was winter, but she had to take off her shoes and socks and pretend to enjoy herself. Later, when she saw the emperor, she panicked and almost fell into the water, but the emperor embraced her in his arms.
Zhou Tao held her forehead with her hand. She put on a down jacket during the audition. The actor she was acting opposite was in his thirties. His name was Song Yuncheng. He was a serious drama actor. He was handsome, decent and very manly.
Zhou Tao respectfully called him Teacher Song.
The audition went smoothly. Then, both of them took off their down jackets. The emperor wore casual clothes. He looked tall, handsome and suave.
The heroine attended a night banquet in the palace and felt bored, so she quietly slipped out to play by the rockery.
The cold wind was howling and Zhou Tao was shivering with cold. She had to take off her shoes and socks, sit on the river bank, and put her feet into the icy lake water.
It was night, the lanterns were bright, and Zhou Tao seemed to have forgotten the coldness all over her body, and put herself completely into the summer atmosphere, kicking the water with her feet.
In fact, her feet were almost numb from the cold, but she still had to tell her little maid, "You try it too, it's very cool."
When she said this, her heart was really bleeding and she was almost frozen. What was there to be cool about
The little maidservant didn't dare to say: "Young Master, please get up quickly. It would be bad if someone saw us."
Just as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard behind him. A group of young eunuchs and palace maids arrived and the emperor stepped forward and asked, "Which palace are you from?"
Zhou Tao stood up in panic and slipped.
The original scene was that the emperor pulled the heroine into his arms, but in order to conform to the ancient artistic conception, the headlights on the scene were turned off, and only the dim lighting could barely illuminate the faces of the hero and heroine.
The male protagonist, Mr. Song Yuncheng, did not look clearly at his feet and fell directly into the river while trying to pull Zhou Tao.
With a thud, the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Zhou Tao was about to jump down to save people, but Xiao Ai rushed forward and grabbed her. The male staff member next to her had already jumped down.
Xiao Ai whispered, "Don't try to be brave. It's too dangerous. This lake is not shallow."
As they were talking, Song Yuncheng had been rescued by the staff. Zhou Tao hurried forward and asked worriedly, "Teacher Song, are you... okay?"
Song Yuncheng was soaking wet and forced a smile: "I'm so sorry, I probably can't shoot this scene tonight, let's continue tomorrow."
Zhou Tao: "As you should. Your health is more important. Go change your clothes and drink something hot."
Song Yuncheng had been taken away by his assistant.
In the pavilion of Jiuzhou Qingyan not far away, we received the news that Teacher Song Yuncheng fell into the water and all the scenes for today were cancelled.
At this time, Xu Lu was still the maid of Concubine Xian. She said sarcastically, "I think this Zhou Tao will inevitably get involved in a scandal every time she plays a role."
