Chapter 258 Love at the Corner
Kyoto Film Studio, city gate passage.
The green bricks and red walls, the fluttering banners, all exude a chilling aura of war and battle.
Jiang Bai had already changed into a light yet dignified lotus root pink Hanfu. Her long hair was loosely tied up with only a jade hairpin, with a few strands hanging down her neck.
The combination of masterful makeup skills and "Zhang Yan's personality" is remarkable.
He stood there, like a wisp of morning smoke that had accidentally fallen to earth, so serene and aloof that one was afraid to even breathe loudly for fear of disturbing her.
Today's scene is a famous moment in the entire play.
Empress Dou couldn't bear to see Zhang Yan wither away in the deep palace, so she secretly arranged for Mo Xueyuan to help her sneak out of the palace.
As the two were crouching low as they walked toward the city gate, General Zhou Yafu led his army in triumph and passed by.
According to the script, Zhou Yafu was originally staring intently at Mo Xueyuan, because his mind was filled with that cold and beautiful assassin girl.
Mo Xueyuan lowered her head because she felt guilty, which led to a misunderstanding by Zhang Yan.
She thought that the valiant general was looking at her.
So she withdrew her foot from the path to freedom, and for that one glance, she locked herself in the cold palace for another half her life.
now.
Yu Zhengzheng sat behind the monitor, holding a megaphone, looking somewhat excited.
"Xiao Bai, this scene is a turning point in the fate of our Empress Zhang Yan."
"Honey, when you grab her hand, be quick and keep your eyes alert. We need to capture that high-speed, life-or-death escape from the palace feeling!"
Yang Mi glanced at Jiang Bai, who was walking slowly towards him, and felt a slight chill run down his spine.
When she saw Jiang Bai enter the photography studio, she just thought she was pretty.
But at this moment, the aura of "the greatest sorrow is a broken heart" that enveloped Jiang Bai made this veteran actress, who had been acting for many years, feel oppressed.
They were already in character before filming even started.
That's incredible!
"Bai Zhi, are you ready?" Yang Mi reached out and pulled Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai lowered his eyes slightly, and that humble yet noble look in his eyes made Yang Mi's palms inexplicably break out in a layer of sweat.
"Sister Honey, we can begin," Jiang Bai replied softly.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Yu Zheng immediately grabbed a megaphone and shouted:
"On your marks! Scene 136 of 'Beauty's Rival in Palace,' a love triangle at the city gate, Action!"
At Yu Zheng's command, Yang Mi instantly got into character.
She truly deserves to be called a female star who has both popularity and acting skills.
Holding Jiang Bai's hand, she scanned her surroundings warily, her demeanor one of walking on thin ice.
Yu Zheng was initially worried that Yang Mi, a top-tier celebrity, would overshadow Jiang Bai, a newcomer, due to her strong presence.
But as soon as filming started, Yu Zheng's eyes almost popped out of his head onto the monitor.
Jiang Bai was not suppressed at all!
Not only was he not overshadowed, but the unique charm of "I have long seen through the world" emanating from him was like an invisible current that also enhanced Yang Mi's acting skills!
The interaction between the two was so smooth that it transported the audience back to that morning two thousand years ago.
Just then.
Outside the city gate, the sound of horses' hooves echoed.
He Shengming, dressed in black iron armor, rode a large brown horse, his hand on his sword, and led a group of personal guards slowly in.
He had already entered "Zhou Yafu mode" and should have looked at Mo Xueyuan, who was looking down, with that restrained yet ardent gaze.
However, as he rode closer, he caught a glimpse of a pinkish-white figure in the corner of the wall.
He Shengming felt his mind go blank.
The pristine figure playing the piano last night instantly overlapped with her pitiful appearance now.
His neck felt as if it were being pulled by an invisible rope.
She somehow managed to bypass Mo Xueyuan and lock her gaze directly onto Jiang Bai!
Where was there even a trace of "restrained love" in those eyes?
It clearly says, "My goodness, Teacher Jiang Baizhi looks even better than yesterday!"
He even subconsciously pulled on the reins, trying to get a closer look.
But before he could get closer and see clearly...
Just then.
"Crack!! Crack crack crack!!"
Yu Zheng suddenly jumped up from his chair, fanning himself wildly with the script, and complained:
"He Shengming! What are you doing?!"
"It's clearly written in the script that you're infatuated with Mo Xueyuan, that's why you're staring at her!"
"What's wrong with you? Why did you go to see Jiang Baizhi?"
"The way you looked at Bai Zhi just now, if someone didn't know better, they'd think Zhou Yafu was in love with Empress Zhang Yan!"
He Shengming snapped out of his daze, his old face instantly turning a deep purplish-red. He hurriedly dismounted and apologized.
"I'm sorry... Director Yu, I'm sorry, Teacher Bai Zhi."
"I...I was just spacing out, I'm so sorry!"
Lao Tzu's eyeballs have their own thoughts!
Is it something I can control?
Don't blame me!
.......
Meanwhile, on this side...
While Teacher He was being corrected about her acting by Yu Zheng, Jiang Bai took a break and drank some water.
Deep within her mind, Zhang Yan suddenly began to scream excitedly.
[Zhang Yan, the villain: "Jiang Bai, Jiang Bai! Did you see that! I told you the General has feelings for me! The way he looked at me just now was so affectionate! Oh dear, I'm not leaving, I'm staying, I want to stay with him!"]
Jiang Bai rolled his eyes inwardly:
"Big sister, wake up!"
"That was an accident; He Shengming was just distracted!"
"You've misunderstood this scene, it's a misunderstanding, don't you understand? People are watching Mo Xueyuan, not you!"
[Zhang Yan (stubbornly): "I don't believe it! Mo Xueyuan is practically burying her face in her chest, what's there to see? General Zhou is clearly staring at me, look for yourself, he's still looking at me right now!"]
Jiang Bai snorted coldly: "How could that be? He's definitely reflecting on his daydreaming right now..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Bai subconsciously glanced in He Shengming's direction.
Good guy!
Not far away, He Shengming was watching Yu Zheng as he explained his mistakes, his eyes squinting as if he had a stiff neck. He was watching him from across half the set.
Their eyes met in mid-air.
Instead of dodging, He Shengming subconsciously puffed out his chest muscles and gave what he thought was a very heroic grin.
Jiang Bai was so startled that he almost crushed the mineral water bottle in his hand.
"Grass!"
He was really distracted, but the person he was distracted by was himself!
Over there, Yu Zheng didn't waste too much time either.
soon.
"All hands on deck! Second time, Action!"
With a crisp snap of the clapperboard, the atmosphere on set returned to tense.
He Shengming truly lives up to his reputation as a veteran actor; this time, he clearly engaged in a deep "soul exchange" with his own eyes.
He took a deep breath and silently repeated "I love Mo Xueyuan, I love Mo Xueyuan" a hundred times in his mind, forcibly pulling back the eyeball that was about to fly towards Jiang Bai.
He sat astride his brown horse, his hand on his sword, his eyes cold and sharp as knives.
As the horses slowly entered the city gate, his gaze precisely locked onto Yang Mi, who was walking in front.
At that moment, his eyes were filled with restrained affection, as if Mo Xueyuan was his whole world.
"Look at Mo Xueyuan! Look at Mo Xueyuan!"
She is your true love! She is your only one!
"Zhang Yan next to me is just a passerby, a background character!"
He Shengming frantically hypnotized himself in his mind.
The clatter of horses' hooves grew louder as they approached.
In the footage, Mo Xueyuan is looking down and pulling Zhang Yan along quickly.
He Shengming's gaze was piercing, and his deep yet restrained eyes could almost burn a hole in the back of Yang Mi's head.
Yu was staring at the monitor, nodding to himself:
"Yes, that's the taste!"
"Stay calm, Yafu, stay calm, you'll be this year's Best Actor!"
however.
Just as the two groups of people passed each other, Mo Xueyuan, due to her faster pace, quickly passed through He Shengming's line of sight.
Following closely behind was Jiang Bai, with her head bowed and eyes lowered, her light pink skirt swaying slightly.
This angle is simply a "love at first sight" moment orchestrated by God himself!
