Chapter 200: Fully Prepared

Translator: Henyee Translations      Editor: Henyee Translations

On the second day of the opening ceremony, the production team arrived at a filming location in the suburbs of Beijing.

The movie wasn’t filmed in chronological order, so the span was relatively large. This morning, the film base was mainly filming a few scenes of the supporting actor, Zheng Xiong. Although Lu Zhen didn’t need to be present, she still came over. She wore a fluffy cloak and stood outside the set to watch.

Zheng Xiong’s actor, Xi De, was an actor who had debuted many years ago. He was a professional villain that the audience was very familiar with. Playing villain roles like warlords and ambitious people was as easy as eating and drinking for him.

Xi De’s filming went very smoothly. Even a harsh director like Ding Zhi could not find any fault with it.

Xi De filmed for the entire morning, and Lu Zhen watched on set for the entire morning.

After filming, Xi De walked out of the set in his military uniform. When he saw

Lu Zhen standing in the corner, he walked over and greeted her. “Miss Lu, you’ve been standing at the side all morning. You’re making me feel very pressured.”

“Brother Xi, you did very well. I learned a lot this morning.” Lu Zhen smiled politely and said, “The two of us still have to act together often in the future. I still have to ask you to guide me.”

Lu Zhen’s humble attitude made Xi De have a good impression of her.

Although Xi de was not as famous as Lu Zhen in the entertainment industry, in terms of qualifications, Lu Zhen was far inferior to Xi De.

“Alright, I won’t say anything polite. If I offend you, don’t take it to heart. I’ll come and watch your performance in the afternoon.”

Lu Zhen nodded seriously.

In the afternoon, Lu Zhen was about to film an important scene of going to the teahouse to watch a show. As expected, Xi De was there. However, to Lu Zhen’s surprise, Xu Rui was also here.

Xu Rui smiled implicitly at Lu Zhen and walked over to greet Ding Zhi and Xi De.

“Lu Zhen, I heard that you can speak Beijing. Then can you speak the old capital language?” Ding Zhi walked over and asked Lu Zhen.

Ding Zhi was only asking, but he did not expect Lu Zhen to nod. “I can, but not much.”

This surprised Ding Zhi.

In fact, before the movie started broadcasting, Ding Zhi had asked Jia Le i s company if Lu Zhen knew how to speak Beijing. If Lu Zhen did not, Ding Zhi would have to consider training her a few months in advance. However, he did not expect Lu Zhen to say it, so Ding Zhi did not train Lu Zhen in advance.

Looking at Ding Zhi’s surprised gaze, Lu Zhen smiled.

In her previous life, Lu Zhen only spoke Mandarin and not Beijing. However, when filming Beauty, Director Ding Zhi trained her for a few months in advance. She forcefully learned Beijing’s language.

However, when the movie was about to be completed, Director Ding Zhi suddenly sighed. “If you could speak the old capital language, the effect would probably be better.”

However, the old capital language was the official language of Beijing a hundred years ago after all. Even now, some old people probably didn’t know how to speak it. It was simply too difficult for an 18 -year-old girl like Lu Zhen to learn the old capital language.

After her rebirth, when she found out that she still had a chance to film Beauty, Lu Zhen made sufficient preparations in advance. She checked a lot of information and found some video information from her early years. It took her a lot of time to learn some simple old capital language.

Lu Zhen had filmed ‘Beauty’ before, so she knew which scenes in ‘Beauty’ had dialects to speak, so she specially strengthened her training. Although she didn’t speak the old capital language 100%, she had no problem speaking lines during filming.

Xu Rui stood beside Director Ding Zhi. When she heard Lu Zhen say that she could actually speak the old capital language, she was stunned. After a while, she smiled at Lu Zhen. “Miss Lu, you’re really well-prepared!”

Xu Rul had long heard that Ding Zhi was famous tor nis strict requirements for the female lead of a movie. She had come to watch Lu Zhen film in the afternoon because she wanted to see if Lu Zhen would be reprimanded by Ding Zhi.

She thought that if Director Ding Zhi was very dissatisfied with Lu Zhen, he might even delete her scenes. Wouldn’t her chance come then?

However, Xu Rui did not expect Lu Zhen to perform so well from the beginning. Director Ding Zhi was very surprised and satisfied that she could speak the old capital language.

Xu Rui gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. Forget it. It was just that there was no problem with the lines. Perhaps Lu Zhen would mess up later. Today’s scene was not easy to film.

“Alright, all departments get into position.. Get ready, let’s begin!’
