Chapter 47: Red Roses Everywhere
Filming started today in a studio backlot on the outskirts of the city.
The first scene to be shot was the palace banquet, where the Emperor was receiving visiting envoys. Seventh Prince Chu Beichen and his consort Shangguang Yingrong were engaged in a battle of wits with the envoys. Ning Xi’s character Princess De only had a minor role in the scene; she only needed to act as an enchanting ornant sitting beside the Emperor.
Even so, for just a small role, wearing so many layers of the traditional dress on such a hot day was a real pain.
It didn’t help that Ning Xi’s costu was extrely complicated. Her clothes weren’t just the thickest, her headpiece itself also weighed several kilograms.
After one shot, she was drenched in sweat inside her costu, though no one could tell.
The director yelled, "Cut." Ning Xueluo’s two assistants ca up to her straightaway. One gave her a hand fan and the other a bottle of water. A cooling mat had already been arranged for her on her chair.
Ning Xi didn’t even have one assistant; she didn’t even get to drink any water after filming. She had another scene later, so she couldn’t take the costu off yet. She could only undo her collar to cool off.
Everyone was praising Ning Xueluo’s acting, and the director also complinted her performance. However, he turned back to the cara to review Ning Xi’s scenes.
Although she had no lines and only appeared a few tis, her expression was on point; she looked idle and bored, yet also carried an air of contempt for the people around her, since she was preparing to destroy the country with her own two hands.
Good, he wasn’t concerned anymore.
At this ti, the production assistant Xiao Li shouted excitedly, "Teacher Ning, your boyfriend is here to visit you!"
Of course, by "Teacher Ning" he ant Ning Xueluo.
Dressed in a refreshingly casual style, Su Yan walked over, and behind him two of his n followed with a large box filled with ice cream for everyone.
"Wow! It’s Haagen-Dazs! Thank you for the treat, Master Su!"
"Teacher Ning is so blessed, her boyfriend ca to visit on the first day!"
"Oh my god! They are so lovey-dovey!"
…
"Why are your mouths still flapping when you’re eating!" Ning Xueluo pouted. She then took so ice cream over to Ning Xi.
"Junior Sister Ning, have so!"
"Thank you." Ning Xi accepted it politely.
This woman never got tired of pretending to be an angel in front of other people, especially when Su Yan was around, whereas Ning Xi was tired just watching her. It was a good thing her specialty was acting, so she didn’t mind playing along.
After she returned to her seat, Ning Xueluo looked at Su Yan. It seed like she had sothing to say, but was unsure whether to say it or not. She eventually said hesitantly, "Brother Yan, I’m a little worried about Xiao Xi…"
"Why? What’s wrong with Xiao Xi?" Su Yan asked imdiately.
"You know how last night was the opening ceremony? My dad also ca, and he saw Xiao Xi there. I don’t know what Xiao Xi said to him that made him so angry. He even talked about switching out the actress for her role…"
"How did it turn out like that?" Su Yan frowned.
"I don’t know either. When I went over, all I saw was Dad’s angry face!"
"Then what happened? It seems that Xiao Xi was not switched out?" Su Yan glanced at Ning Xi. Despite the sweat running down her face, she was reading the script attentively. Her small face looked pitiful under the sun, but it was still eye-catching.
Ning Xueluo seed reluctant to continue speaking. "Dad called the production team last night, and they promised they would use soone else, but this morning, soone anonymous suddenly invested fifty million yuan into the movie, with the only condition being that the second female lead has to be Ning Xi… I’m worried that…"
Su Yan’s face had grown darker as he listened, and eventually he said heavily, "I know Xiao Xi. She would never do that kind of thing."
"Brother Yan, you are too na?ve. What kind of place is the entertainnt industry? Who wouldn’t change after entering this industry? I am so lucky that I have Dad and you to support , but Ning Xi does not have a good relationship with the family and refuses to accept our help. Don’t tell you don’t know what happens to a pretty girl with no power or influence in the entertainnt industry?"
Su Yan’s face grew more blank as he listened, and he looked lost in thought.
"Ning Xi, soone is looking for you!" The production assistant yelled then, his voice sounding very excited.
In that mont, everyone turned to look.
Because it was too eye-catching.
Red roses…
Hundreds of red roses were being slowly brought in…
