Su Jingting flew back to Beijing the next day to rescue Su Yujie.
Xia Yisan asked the director for leave to see him off, and in order to avoid suspicion, she also asked Qi Mingcheng to go along.
Qi Mingcheng was forced to eat dog food with Assistant Sun.
After Su Jingting left, Xia Yisan spent most of her time acting. Whenever she had free time, she would study the scripts, video chat with Su Jingting, and chat on WeChat. Her life was quite comfortable.
The only drawback is that the filming of the crew was not very smooth.
Things are not going well for Ye Yiyi.
Ye Yiyi debuted as an internet celebrity. Although she was arranged to learn a lot of required courses for actors after signing with Overseas Chinese Entertainment, she actually did not have any outstanding works.
It can be said that she is even worse than Xia Yisan.
Both of them are little-known stars on the 18th line.
Xia Yishan was lucky to have a teacher like Mr. Su who would give her some pointers from time to time.
As for Ye Yiyi, she relied on her own understanding.
Ye Yiyi just took the role of the leading actress directly, which Xia Yisan thought was a bit hasty. After all, she didn't have a good foundation, and she wanted to climb to the top. It would be terrible if she fell.
Xia Yisan once believed that Overseas Chinese Entertainment focused on whether the artists could bring strong benefits at the moment, and did not care at all how far the artists could really go.
This is especially true for female artists like Ye Yiyi who are attracted by the lavish lifestyle in the entertainment industry.
Her acting is so uncool that she just stays on the set.
Ye Yiyi is the female lead, so naturally she has much more roles than the perennial second female lead Rui Yu and the new third female lead Xia Yishan.
On the set, the director wailed with compassion.
"This part doesn't work, reshoot..."
"Ye Yiyi, your eyesight isn't good enough, try again!"
"Ye Yiyi! Look at the camera, you are 15 degrees away from the camera!"
…
…
Xia Yisan and Rui Yu were waiting there in their costumes!
The next scene to be filmed belongs to the second half of the whole movie. Rui Yu is still the aloof Concubine An, and the golden hairpins on her head make her neck and shoulders ache.
Xia Yisan was the neglected queen. She wore a simple costume and light hair accessories. She stood aside and watched Ye Yiyi do countless NGs without feeling tired at all.
Ke Ruiyu was so tired that she put her hands on Xia Yishan's shoulders. Finally, after Ye Yiyi NGed twelve times, she couldn't help but complain, "How long do I have to stand here? My legs have cramped three times! My neck is almost collapsed. These hairpins on my head are really valuable and heavy!"
Xia Yishan patted her hands and comforted her, "You are a concubine above all others, how can you not handle a little hairpin? You are a great woman who can even handle the emperor. I believe you can do it!"
"The emperor?" Rui Yu snorted. "That's in the drama. In real life, a man with three thousand beauties in his harem is either a bus or a stud. Who cares? Only the pedantic women in ancient times can't understand this."
"What you are saying..."
"Isn't it true that by being with the emperor, you can keep the family's wealth and glory? In my opinion, this is a joke. Even if you keep the wealth and glory during the reign of this emperor, you can't keep the wealth and glory after the next emperor takes office..."
"What you said makes sense."
Rui Yu patted the costume on her body and said, "This outfit may look bright and beautiful on the surface, but only you know the pain behind it!"
