Yao Xiaoyan glanced at Dugu Ling. He didn't look at her, but just sat there quietly, bright like the autumn moon and cold like a snowy peak. Everything around him seemed to have lost its color in an instant.
Yao Xiaoyan bit her lips before stepping forward and saying in a low voice, "Shadow Emperor Dugu, can you match today's show?"
Dugu Ling lowered his head to look at the script in his hands. From between his brows, a dark and gloomy line flowed out, "Alright!"
Yao Xiaoyan sat down and began reading the script. She said seriously, "I love you so much and even betrayed my parents and brothers for you. I just want to be together with you. But why are you doing this to me?"
After Yao Xiaoyan finished reciting, she waited for a while without making any sound. She raised her head and looked into Dugu Ling's eyes, which were filled with calmness, coldness, and a hint of pain.
"…" Yao Xiaoyan was stunned, "What happened?" Am I reading it wrong? "
Dugu Ling shook his head and lowered his eyes dejectedly.
He should've said that. He abandoned his throne and his world just to be with her, but why didn't she love him? Fifteen hundred years ago, I didn't love her. Fifteen hundred years later, I still don't love her!
"Aiya, how hard is it for Emperor Dugu and Little Yan to match lines so early in the morning? It must have been very smooth today!" The director shouted as soon as he entered the studio and saw the scene.
Yao Xiaoyan quickly stood up and said to the director, "Director, I'm sorry. I was feeling a little unwell yesterday and was delayed for the whole day. I've already put on my makeup. I can shoot now!"
The director looked at Dugu Ling and asked carefully, "Emperor Dugu, how is your condition today? Yesterday, you and Jia Ying were not done filming the movie yet, you see … "
As the director was speaking, Shi Jiayin, dressed in a blue-green phoenix-tassel, a moon-white dress with a raised thread, and black hair tied into a very difficult peony head, walked gracefully in with a few green flowers and said, "Director, I'm done with my makeup!
The director looked at Dugu Ling, and he said, "Go ahead!"
The director nodded and turned to Yao Xiaoyan, "First, take out the scenes of Emperor Dugu and Shi Jiayin. Wait a moment!"
Yao Xiaoyan nodded.
A hint of pride flashed across Shi Jiayin's eyes.
Dugu Ling walked towards the makeup room. Seeing Bai Xiao was taking out some medicine for Yao Xiaoyan to eat, his eyes darkened, he hesitated for a moment before entering the dressing room. In a moment, Hu Zi came out and said to the director, "Director, my Brother Ling is going to wear makeup, so it will take at least an hour.
The director hurriedly responded by calling out to Yao Xiaoyan, "Xiaoyan, let's shoot you first!"
Yao Xiaoyan quickly replied and went to film her aunt, the empress dowager, marrying the male lead.
Shi Jiayin was slightly displeased. However, since Dugu Ling wanted to put on makeup, what else could she say? She could only sit to the side and wait while browsing on Weibo in boredom. Occasionally, he would raise his head and glare fiercely at Yao Xiaoyan.
The person who played the empress dowager was a veteran, and she was very mannerly. Yao Xiaoyan had learned a lot from working together with her, so she had a lot of respect for this veteran of the empress dowager's. Due to the previous exchanges, the performance didn't take too much effort, so it went smoothly. By the time Dugu Ling came out, Yao Xiaoyan had already finished most of the filming, leaving only the afternoon segment.
Dugu Ling walked out of the room, and without looking at the surroundings, he walked to the edge of the room and sat down.
Shi Jiayin quickly ran over and lay on the bed. She slowly closed her eyes.
This was the first time Yao Xiaoyan saw Dugu Ling and Shi Jiayin making a scene together. Previously, there was a scene of a hug on the boat, but she was hiding in the cabin and did not notice it.
"This footage was repeated several times yesterday!"
"That's right. I heard that Sister Shi was really happy. Although it was a false kiss, she must be very moved to be so close to the movie emperor!"
Yao Xiaoyan heard the staff members behind her whispering to each other.
So Dugu Ling and Shi Jiayin had kissed in the wrong, and thought that … As Yao Xiaoyan thought of this, she recalled the day Dugu Ling escorted her back to the hotel. She laid on the bed and blurrily kissed Dugu Ling, his face immediately flushed red and he could not help but lower his head.
Dugu Ling felt even more uncomfortable today than the day before. Before he got close to Shi Jiayin for a kiss, he had already patted his face several times. In the end, the screenwriter could only remove the touch and kiss!
Dugu Ling's lips slowly moved closer to Shi Jiayin.
Shi Jiayin was lying on the couch with her eyes closed. Her false eyelashes were trembling as she subconsciously clenched her hands. She could hear her own heart pounding.
A sweet scent of flowers wafted through the air. Shi Jiayin could feel the approach of the man's breathing.
A hint of a smile appeared on her lips, and she purposely pursed her lips. Just as she wanted to pretend that she had inadvertently swept a glance at Dugu Ling's lips, Dugu Ling's cold and gloomy voice suddenly rang in her ears, "If you don't want to be kicked out of the film crew, just be honest!"
Shi Jiayin opened her eyes wide.
"Crack!" Director Zheng shouted, "Shi Jiayin, why did you open your eyes?"
Shi Jiayin sat up and looked at Dugu Ling as if he had seen a ghost. He … How could he know what she was thinking?
At the same time she felt angry and embarrassed.
Dugu Ling sat expressionlessly at the side, not even sparing Shi Jiayin a glance.
"Alright, let's do it again!" the director shouted.
When the photo started to be taken again, Shi Jiayin quickly lay down. This time, she obediently closed her eyes, not daring to have any other thoughts.
When the curtain was pulled down, the director finally shouted "ka". The battle had finally ended.
When Dugu Ling got up from the bed, he saw Yao Xiaoyan watching him from the side.
Yao Xiaoyan felt that Dugu Ling had done a good job. He was truly worthy of being called the movie emperor, a true love! His eyes were filled with adoration.
Dugu Ling cursed his mother in his heart as he stood up. When he got up from his bed, he saw Yao Xiaoyan's expression. His eyes darkened and her expression was frighteningly dark.
The next part was about Dugu Ling and Shi Jiaxin, who loved each other dearly. As Dugu Ling was fed up with admiring the flowers and eating the fruits, he took a look at his journey and said, "Let's film the jumping off a cliff!"
The director was stunned. It was almost noon, but jumping off a cliff was not an easy thing to do!
"Shadow Emperor Dugu, the scene of you jumping off the cliff is tomorrow. Look …" The director discussed the matter tactfully with the emperor Dugu.
Dugu Ling frowned. He flipped to the next page and pointed to the page before him, "This one!"
The director took a quick glance and saw that Dugu Ling and Yao Xiaoyan were about to shoot the show for the afternoon. He nodded after thinking for a while.
After watching the intimate scene between Dugu Ling and Shi Jiayin, Yao Xiaoyan was about to return to take off her makeup to rest when she was called over by the director, "Xiaoyan, the show is coming up this afternoon. Hurry up and change your clothes, don't change your appearance, just change your clothes!"
Shi Jiayin gawked for a moment before biting her lips. She quietly walked up to Dugu Ling, standing behind him, and said in a low voice, "Emperor Dugu, what did you mean by those words earlier? I actually …"
Dugu Ling was expressionless as he sat down in his resting chair. He took out his mobile phone and coldly said, "The one scheming in front of me is not just a female star!"
"…" Shi Jiayin's face instantly turned red. However, she was still stubborn as a roasted duck. "Dugu Xingfeng, I really don't know what you're talking about!"
Dugu Ling's expression was obviously impatient. He raised his head and stared coldly at Shi Jiayin.
Shi Jiayin instinctively swallowed her saliva and did not dare to argue any further. She only said in a low voice, "Then you should rest well, Shadow Emperor. I'll first …"
Shi Jiayin went to the side to wait. The more she thought about it, the more wronged she became, but she didn't dare to show it. After all, Dugu Ling was the one who made the decision.
Yao Xiaoyan changed her clothes and rushed towards Dugu Ling, grabbing her arm and shouting, "I love you so much that I even abandoned my parents and brothers for you. I just wanted to be with you, why did you do this to me?"
Dugu Ling endured the heartache in his heart as he coldly spoke out his lines, "Because I don't love you. I don't love you. How many times do I have to say it? "Even if you turn your back on the whole world, I don't love you, and I still don't love you!"
The eyes of the female lead, which was played by Yao Xiaoyan, instantly turned red.
Actually, there were tears on the script. However, even though the director had waited for a long time, Yao Xiaoyan did not shed any tears.
"What's going on?" The director frowned slightly.
"Is it because your feelings aren't good enough?" The assistant director said from the side.
Bai Xiaobai quickly went to find the director, "Director, if I can't even cry, I might need eyedrops!"
If it was in the past, the director would have already been annoyed. But ever since the previous lesson, the director had been more obedient than anyone else, "Then just apply the eyedrop!"
Bai Xiaobai nodded gratefully and took the eye drops for Yao Xiaoyan.
As the auction started once again, Yao Xiaoyan's eyes were filled with tears. She sat down on the ground and watched the male lead leave in a daze.
"Crack!" The director clapped. "Very good, very good. This match was very exciting. The movie star and Little Yan were both doing very well!"
Shi Jiayin, who was watching from the side, snorted coldly, "Well done? Who doesn't know how to spray eye drops! "
In the end, she didn't dare to say it out loud and could only whisper.
Not knowing why, Shi Jiayin's heart tightened when she saw Dugu Ling giving her a cold look.
She felt that Dugu Ling had heard her words! But how is that possible? Her voice is so soft, the studio is so noisy …
The whole morning was a bit rushed, but at least one day of filming was done. Yao Xiaoyan could take a rest in the afternoon.
While helping Yao Xiaoyan with her clothes, Bai Xiaobai said, "Today's filming went very smoothly and it just so happens that you need to rest. Don't go out in the hotel this afternoon!"
Yao Xiaoyan had slept for a while and was no longer unconscious, making her condition much better. However, Bai Xiaobai was still Yao Xiaoyan to rest and take the medicine.
Actually speaking of the fact that the filming went so smoothly, Yao Xiaoyan really had to thank Dugu Ling. Just thinking about her saying those words to Shi Jiayin in the morning made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
"Emperor Dugu, I'll be leaving first!" Yao Xiaoyan stepped forward to bid her farewell to Dugu Ling.
Dugu Ling was still reading the script as if he didn't hear anything. He didn't even raise his head.
Yao Xiaoyan was already used to this, so she did not say anything as she left with Bai Xiaobai.
Dugu Ling, who was reading the script, slightly raised his gaze. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, but he quickly retracted his emotions.
Hu Zi, who was at the side, tidied up Dugu Ling's clothes. He glanced at Dugu Ling, his hands covered in sweat. He had followed Dugu Ling for several hundred years and understood his temperament the most. Even though he had restrained himself for the past few years, if someone offended him, he would definitely bring misfortune upon the eighteen generations of his ancestors!
He still remembered how, 130 years ago, during Qing Guangxun's era, Dugu Ling had been plagued by a person. Every 10 years, Dugu Ling would send Hu Zi to his descendant's home to light a fire.
This morning, Hu Zi clearly saw Dugu Ling's expression change. He was still worried that Dugu Ling would do something too extreme, but reality proved that Dugu Ling was too eerie!
At noon, there came the lunch box.
"Everyone take a break, let's eat a bit before taking photos!" The director was preparing to stop and eat!
"I'm not satisfied with this shot!" Dugu Ling raised his head and said faintly.
The director was stunned. Not satisfied? Which camera was not satisfied?
Dugu Ling stood up, walked up to the director, and pointed at the television in front of him. "These are all unsatisfactory. Retake!"
As soon as the director received the box of rice, before he could even take a bite, the entire box of rice was slapped onto the floor in fright.
