The Dazzling Princess in Modern Times

Chapter 21: Filming

During the flight, until they got off the plane, got in the car, and got into the production team, Xia Wanyuan behaved calmly. One could even say that he had a sense of modesty. The strange silence was in stark contrast to his usual behavior and only made Chen Yun uncomfortable.

But Chen Yun had to admit that Xia Wanyuan's current state was much more pleasant than before.

......................

“Everyone has worked hard. This is the afternoon tea I ordered for everyone. Eat before you work.”

Ruan Yingyu smiled warmly as she handed out the cake to the crew.

Looking at Ruan Yingyu, who was surrounded and adored by the crowd in the distance, Chen Yun looked at Xia Wanyuan in annoyance, who was reading the script quietly.

“Should we send something to the crew too?”

“No need. My reputation is very bad, so others will only think that I imitate others and embarrass myself if I send something now. No need to rush to find a problem.”

“…”

It was rare for Xia Wanyuan to say anything true, let alone something so profound. With that, Chen Yun gave up on the idea of sending a gift, but he still could not bear with Ruan Yingyu.

“We will be suppressed by him forever.”

“As long as I act well, no one will care about that cake anymore.”

Demonstrating actual skills is always the best way to silence people.

After reading the script, Xia Wanyuan felt that acting was not difficult. Especially considering that he was someone who had spent years painstakingly through the political quagmire in hard times.

During a famous encounter where he can get something without risking anything from his own, he deals with the power of the masses, faces different people, shows a different personality, and, and finally gained the approval of the allied forces, defeating the critical city in one fell swoop.

The clever old fox all knew how to act. Besides, they are really cruel.

And that's reality.

"?????"

Chen Yun stood to the side with a face full of question marks. 

‘Dear Miss, are you really standing here talking about acting skills? If you have the slightest ability, you will not be criticized by the entire Internet.’

He felt a little desperate. It seemed that Xia Wanyuan had not become normal, but had become more neurotic. Everything that just happened was just an illusion.

“Haha, I haven't seen you in a long time. It seems you are getting more confident. ”

Xia Wanyuan put down the script and ignored Chen Yun's ridicule. Instead, he got up and went to the dressing room to change clothes.

“Xiao Ruan, your appearance just now wasn't bad. You get into character very quickly. It's just that you need to try harder to show Tian Ying Er's naivety.”

“Alright, I understand. Thank you, Director. I'll keep working hard.”

Ruan Yingyu, who was wearing a long white dress, humbly thanked the director and crew. His humble attitude made Director Yang nod in agreement. In the entertainment industry, there were not many people with good acting skills and decency like him.

Especially when the second female lead of the production team was clearly a negative example. Director Yang was sick when he thought of the rich character characteristics of the Heavenly Spirit Princess. In the future, if he had the means and money, he would definitely boycott the act of bringing funds to the production team!

Not only did the director have all sorts of thoughts on his mind, but the other members of the production team also whispered in private.

“Saudari Ruan is indeed a good person. It's also good because she has good acting skills.”

“Of course, he must be better than a fool like Xia Wanyuan. I think the Xia family is indeed broke, look how low Xia Wanyuan is today.”

“It's true, it's true. I barely recognized him when he got into the production team earlier. She's too quiet.”

“Well, she's been demoted from the first female lead to the second female lead. With her acting skills, I think it's hard for her to be a figure.”

The cameraman was still blabbering when he realized that his friend had not responded to him at all. Even the people around him became calm. He stopped talking in confusion and followed his partner's gaze. Instantly he was amazed by what he saw.

The woman in question was wearing a light purple dress with a dark brocade weaving belt wrapped around her slender waist. In his hand was a lantern with a jade rabbit image on it.

Due to the need for the role, she wore a veil on her face, making her eyes look more beautiful and beautiful, like the most beautiful ink painting in the misty rain in Jiangnan.

Everyone was stunned for a long time, and they did not realize who it was until the stylist realized that the clothes belonged to the Heavenly Spirit Princess.

Holy hooch!

To think that he was very good at choosing clothes!

“Xia Wanyuan?!”

He could not help but call. It was only then that everyone realized that this amazing woman was the one they had been angry with for a long time.

“Director, I'm ready.” Xia Wanyuan's red lips opened slightly. His clear voice was like a rock that finally broke the silence.

Chen Yun, on the other hand, had a calm expression. After all, she knew about Xia Wanyuan's beauty. What she was worried about was Xia Wanyuan's stupid acting skills. Forget it, it's okay if she can be beautiful. At the very least, he could receive less scolding. Chen Yun had given up.

At that time, Director Yang was the most pleased. As a director, he naturally had the most sensitive feelings about the portrayal of the characters. Xia Wanyuan made her completely understand what the original number one beauty, the Heavenly Spirit Princess was like.

But thinking about Xia Wanyuan's acting ability, Director Yang sighed. Forget it, he would just take more photos of her face and not shoot too many details that would only show her poor acting skills.

“Alright, all teams, get ready for the second scene!” Director Yang shouted through the loudspeakers and everyone recovered from their shock.

“Sial, isn't she too pretty!”

“Let's not talk about anything else. Xia Wanyuan's face was too pretty.”

That day, they were filming a scene where the Heavenly Spirit Princess and the male lead, Lin Xiao, met at the Lantern Festival.

In the original novel, the Heavenly Spirit Princess, who had been trapped in the palace since she was young, sneaked out of the palace during the lantern festival. However, someone stole his wallet while he was enjoying a lantern show.

During the chase, the male protagonist acts bravely for a fair reason, causing him to fall in love at first sight. It was this scene that eventually led to a series of disputes later on.

At the director's order, pedestrians began to move on the streets filled with a wide variety of colorful lanterns. The camera slowly zoomed in, and a light purple figure entered the camera.

It was the first time the little princess left the palace. He was startled by the commotion outside, so he looked around curiously at everything he had never seen before.

Xia Wanyuan recalled the first time she left the palace. He was a bit scared, but also a bit nervous. Like a child, he checked all the things in the world he had never contacted.

“Quick, fast, pull the camera and take Xia Wanyuan's eye shot!”

The camera that had been pulled away was now focused on that pair of butterfly-like eyes.

With the veil covering her face, the camera could not capture her expression, so she could only rely on her eyes to show the mentality of her current character.

Meanwhile, the crew could see innocence in those eyes. They are a combination that is alluring, curious, happy, and probing at the same time. The sadness of being trapped in the palace for such a long time, and how he could only see the vast outside world once in a while could be seen and felt from his eyes alone.

“…”

Chen Yun's eyes will come out.

Is this Xia Wanyuan?!

His acting skills had probably been remade ten thousand times in the Grand Supreme Elder's furnace!

Scene changed.

A cunning thief reached Xia Wanyuan's side. Taking advantage of the crowd, he secretly took the wallet of the little princess.

The little princess, who was about to take her money to buy a hairpin, grabbed her cloak but could not find her purse. He suddenly looked up and saw the thief running away. Fear and complaint flashed in his eyes. Finally, he yelled, “Stolen! Catch thief!”

Everyone watching from outside the scene looked at this helpless and guilty gaze and wished they could go up and beat up the thief.

At this moment, the male protagonist, Lin Xiao, appeared on the scene. He initially waited in the tree to see the stars, but he noticed the movements under his feet. Upon seeing the little girl being bullied, displeasure flashed in her eyes, and she jumped from the tree.

With a beautiful kick, he easily conquered it.

“This, your wallet.”

The actor who played Lin Xiao was a famous actor, Qin Wu. Under the lights, he looked tall and heroic. The different eyebrows and the gentle smile on her face made the little princess panic.

A hint of shame, excitement, and gratitude could be seen in his sparkling eyes.

“Thank you.”

As the little princess grabbed the wallet, she did not dare to raise her head to look at that smiling gaze.

At that moment, a gentle breeze blew past him. The veil that had been loosened as he chased after the thief was now blown away by the wind.

“Quick, take pictures from close!”

Director Yang was so excited that his hands clenched tightly as he blabbed in anxiety.

Camera zoomed in for close-ups.

The veil on his face was blown away by the wind. The beauty in front of him had eyebrows and jade-like skin that was as far as snow. His waist was like a bundle of silk and his teeth were like pearls. Lin Xiao's eyes shone with astonishment, but he already had a younger sister growing up with him. Hence, his eyes shone with astonishment and a hint of struggle before finally returning to his original calmness.

Sensing that her veil had been removed, the little princess raised her head in panic and looked at the knight in front of her. Is that admiration in his eyes?

Covering her flushed cheeks, the little princess leaned in embarrassment to try to hide a hint of happiness in her eyes. In the end, he could not stop the heat radiating from his reddened earlobes.

“Great! It's nice! Very nice! Cut off! This scene is over!”

Director Yang repeatedly praised her three times, naturally pointing out that Xia Wanyuan's scene had been completed perfectly. All the crew present had witnessed his actions and had no words to dispose of.

Who would dare to speak ill of him again?

Even the way they looked at Xia Wanyuan had changed.

After the director shouted 'Cut!', Xia Wanyuan returned to her normal state. She no longer looked like the girl who had just seen her first love.

“…”

Qin Wu was speechless at how quickly Xia Wanyuan's expression changed.

He threw a probing glance at Xia Wanyuan. Back then, she almost rejected this script when she heard that Xia Wanyuan's acting skills were very bad. After all, he did not want to waste time on someone without talent who was just a vase of flowers.

From the looks of it now, the rumors were unbelievable. If not for Xia Wanyuan's immediate change in expression, she would have really thought that Xia Wanyuan liked her with how shy and pleasant she looked just a few seconds ago.
