Chapter 794: Very Angry With Her Performance
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
They had 33 retakes for the second scene. In the end, Xu Xinrou’s face was flushed red and she was breaking out in cold sweat. She looked very unwell.
“Director, I don’t feel so well. I wish to take a break.”
Xu Xinrou could not stand it anymore, and she could not tell anyone that she was addicted to drugs.
She felt extremely tormented at the moment. She felt as though she was being bitten by thousands and thousands of worms. She really could not go on anymore.
The director was about to explode in anger by her performance today. It was a waste of film if they were to continue anyway and he waved her off. “Okay, okay! Just go! Ready the props! We’ll start shooting scenes for the first male lead and the second female lead. We’ll begin from the 107th scene.”
The scenes after the 107th scene were all scenes of Yun Qingge and the emperor.
She began to spread fallacies to deceive the public and create chaos in the palace, turning the emperor into an apathetic, fatuous and self-indulgent ruler.
The actor for the emperor was still the television king, Lin Huaijin. He always had the persona of a proud and cool person and he could simply win the hearts of his audience with his looks.
Since Xu Xiyan had participated in the drama “Red Sleeved Beauty” before and though Lin Huaijin was not really a stranger to her, she had not acted in a scene together with him in that drama before.
“It seems to be a blackout, Director.”
The power outage was not a problem as there were emergency power generators at the studio. Soon, the power was restored and they began to shoot a second take of the 112th scene.
However, just after the two actors finished spinning and landed and the emperor removed her veil, a very strong wind blew across the film set. It was so strong that everyone had to squint their eyes.
The wind blew the props and lighting and other equipment all over the place. It was impossible to continue the shoot and they could only temporarily pause it. After the wind had passed, the prop master quickly went to recover the scattered props.
As everyone cleared up the mess, they were thinking: Where did that monster of a wind come from?
When they were starting the third take, another situation came up again. This time, it was not a utility failure or nature’s force, but a commotion outside the studio.
Someone was already shouting, “The big boss is here!”
“The prince charming is so handsome today!”
“Is Mr. Huo here to visit the set?”
“Mr. Huo must be here to visit Jing Xi!”
...
Everyone followed the sound and saw Huo Yunshen appearing at the set, surrounded by his black-suited bodyguards.
