I, strive for the prosperity of the motherland! 【system】

Su Xing followed Yu Shengmo to the set of "The Cinnabar Scheme" next door.

As soon as they came in, some eyes turned to them.

When people saw Su Xing next to Yu Shengmo, many wondered which company had trained this newcomer.

"Oh? Miss Su!" a surprised voice rang out.

Then, a person quickly walked towards Su Xing and Yu Shengmo.

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Su Xing smiled slightly and said, "Director Qin, we meet again."

This person was none other than Director Qin, whom she had met at a restaurant once before and who was standing next to Yu Shengmo.

At the time, Director Qin wanted her to enter the entertainment industry and even gave her a business card.

Yu Shengmo said to Director Qin, "Director Qin, this is the person I want to recommend. Do you think he's suitable?"

"Perfect! Absolutely perfect!"

Director Qin was very excited and kept slapping his thigh.

He really wanted to sign Ms. Su when he first met her.

She said she had no plans to enter the entertainment industry and declined.

She actually agreed to make a cameo appearance this time? That's wonderful!

At that time, he felt that this Miss Su was very suitable to enter the industry with a role that made a stunning first impression, and now this role is very fitting for her image.

"Come on, let Old Lu meet Miss Su too!"

Director Lü is the renowned director of "The Cinnabar Scheme".

As they walked further in, they encountered another person whom Su Xing had met once before.

It was also at that restaurant that I met the script supervisor who was with Yu Shengmo.

Yu Shengmo introduced Su Xing and the other party, and the two shook hands.

The script supervisor also felt that Su Xing's image was a perfect fit for the character Zi Zhi in the drama.

Su Xing, accompanied by Yu Shengmo and Director Qin, met with Director Lü.

Director Lü glanced at Su Xing and nodded slightly.

"Take a look at the script first. Lao Qin, you two go over the scene with Miss Su."

"Okay."

Yu Shengmo took the script pages of those two scenes and showed them to Su Xing.

Su Xing finished reading it quickly.

There are very few lines, and because of the mask, there are not many facial expressions. The main focus is on action scenes and atmosphere.

She listened to Yu Shengmo and Director Qin explain the play.

The martial arts instructor also came over and gave Su Xing some guidance on some of the fight scenes.

Su Xing herself practices martial arts, but there is a difference between real fighting and acting fighting. She still humbly learns from the martial arts instructor.

She can perfectly replicate any move that a martial arts instructor teaches her after just one demonstration.

The martial arts instructor was very surprised, and everyone else was surprised too!

"Miss Su, have you trained before?"

Su Xing nodded and said, "I studied martial arts for a few years."

"No wonder! No wonder!"

The martial arts director originally thought that he would have to teach the guest actor the fight scenes for at least a day or two before filming could officially begin, but now it seems that filming can start today!

Director Lü and Director Qin were even more satisfied.

Su Xing also felt that she should be able to handle the role, and she said, "I can give it a try."

Director Qin said, "Then let the makeup artist do your makeup and styling now."

Su Xing agreed, "Okay."

Yu Shengmo accompanied her into the dressing room to change clothes and get her makeup done.

The character is a mysterious female warrior. Her clothes are not very fancy, and her makeup and styling are not complicated. It was done in no time.

Yu Shengmo looked at Su Xing with eyes full of joy.

She pushed Su Xing out of the dressing room, saying, "Look at this!"

Director Lü and Director Qin both looked over.

"Not bad, not bad! This is exactly Zi Zhi from the script!"

"very good!"

The lead actress also came over and exclaimed in surprise, "Mo Mo, where did you find this actress to save the day? She's a perfect fit for the role!"

The character Zi Zhi only exists in the female lead's memories. The casting fits the role perfectly and makes it easier for her to get into character.

Yu Shengmo laughed and said, "Su Xing is my friend. She's not a professional actress; I dragged her here for a cameo role."

Su Xing, wearing half a mask, nodded to the female lead.

From the moment she finished her makeup and styling, she was already trying to find the feeling for the character.

Director Lü glanced at the sunset and said to Su Xing, "If you're ready, let's start filming now."

Su Xing said, "Okay."

The actors and staff immediately took their positions and began preparations.

Filming is not done in the order of the script. After filming begins, the crew may shoot the later episodes first, or the earlier episodes may be filmed last.

There are many factors that affect the duration of each shoot.

For example, the scene Su Xing is about to film is actually the second scene for this character.

Because this scene takes place at dusk, in a dilapidated temple bathed in the setting sun.

It was evening, the time and light were just right.

In the original storyline, the female lead, dressed in a nine-dragon imperial robe, stood on the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, looking down at the civil and military officials below who bowed their heads in submission.

The glazed tiles of the Golden Palace gleamed in the sunlight, and the bright yellow curtains hung down, embroidered with lifelike dragon patterns. But in her heart, it was as empty as an abandoned, dilapidated temple.

She won the world and the power, but why can't she find that pure chivalry she had when she roamed the world with a sword?

The female lead had already finished filming the scene in the Golden Palace.

What we're filming now is the scene where the female lead, in a daze, recalls a dilapidated temple from many years ago.

That year, she was ambushed and poisoned with "Huagong San" (a type of poison). She fled while vomiting blood and eventually hid in a dilapidated temple to eke out a living.

The setting sun shone through the decaying window frame, casting dappled light on the ground. Dust swirled in the beams of light. She clutched the wound in her chest, her consciousness fading little by little, the warmth in her fingertips slowly draining away.

The temple door creaked open, and a figure in dark purple stepped in against the light.

This is the second time the female lead and Zi Zhi meet in the drama.

She still wore that same purple-gold flute slung across her waist, the purple tassels hanging from its end swaying gently.

She still wore that plain silver half-face mask, the lotus pattern bathed in the warm light of the setting sun, obscuring her eyebrows and eyes, revealing only a section of her smooth, jade-like chin and smiling lips.

Light dust fell on her half-exposed skin, spreading a layer of hazy soft light. The lines of her jaw were soft yet sharp, and the corners of her lips curved slightly, like holding a handful of melting sunset. Even though only half of her face was visible, she was so beautiful that it made one's heart flutter.

Even the surrounding ruins seemed to soften and become more gentle thanks to the beauty of this half-face.

She carried a faint, cool sandalwood scent, which, mixed with the warmth of the setting sun, strangely brought a sense of peace.

She didn't ask the female protagonist's background or why she was in trouble. She simply took out a bottle of celadon ointment from her brocade pouch and placed it beside the female protagonist.

Then she chose a clean cushion to sit on, placed the flute to her lips, and began to play a soothing melody.

The melodious sound of the flute drifted over the ruins of the temple, swirling around the spiderweb-covered beams and pillars, startling a few gray sparrows on the beams, which fluttered and flew into the sky.

Before the flute music had even faded, the four wooden windows of the dilapidated temple suddenly shattered simultaneously. Amidst the flying splinters, seven or eight assassins in black burst through the windows, their willow-leaf knives gleaming with a poisoned light, aiming straight for the heroine's vital points.

Their movements were ruthless and their teamwork was impeccable; they were clearly well-trained assassins, and every move they made was aimed at vital points!
