"Princess Hede" is a costume drama with a strong female lead.

It tells the story of the heroine Zhao Changning, a princess of a fallen country, who became a dancer in the Jiaofangsi after a coup.

The story of how she worked hard to change her fate and finally succeeded in restoring her country and ascending the throne.

What Yan Wanning is going to perform today is the scene where Zhao Changning becomes a dancer and is forced to dance for the powerful.

Zhao Changning is not the only one performing this dance. All the actors are wearing costumes of the same color.

However, in order to highlight the heroine, the skirts of the extras will be relatively simple, far less exquisite than the heroine's skirt, and they may even deliberately use rough fabrics.

For example, the one Yan Wanning is wearing now was rented by the crew for thirty yuan.

But even such a crudely made skirt does not look cheap at all on Yan Wanning.

Her skin was already fair, and against the backdrop of maple leaf red, it looked even whiter than snow.

Team leader Zhao came back to his senses first and waved at her: "Come here quickly, let Teacher Jia do your makeup."

Yan Wanning sat obediently in front of the makeup mirror and let the makeup artist do her job.

She has a good foundation and doesn't need too many complicated makeup steps.

It only took the makeup artist ten minutes to complete her entire face of makeup.

The hairstyle of the extras dancers was also very simple. The makeup artist was very experienced and did their hair in just five minutes.

When Team Leader Zhao saw Yan Wanning in the mirror, he felt a little uneasy.

He already knew that this new extra was good-looking, but he didn't expect that she was so good-looking.

In this circle, beauty is certainly an advantage, but sometimes, being too beautiful is not a good thing.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go."

Team leader Zhao brought Yan Wanning to the field staff and then left.

When the stagehand saw Yan Wanning, he was also stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask any more questions and directly brought her to the director.

"Director Li, someone we found temporarily."

As soon as Yan Wanning arrived, she attracted the attention of everyone on the set.

Director Li asked, "Have you learned that dance?"

Yan Wanning's phoenix eyes sparkled, and she nodded vigorously, "I got it!"

Director Li nodded and said, "Show me the dance."

Yan Wanning started dancing on the spot. There was no one playing accompaniment for her, but it did not affect her in the noisy environment. She still danced this one-minute dance with the artistic conception and charm it should have.

Director Li and the screenwriter beside him could not conceal their amazement.

"Okay, you can go on stage now!"

The stagehand shouted with a megaphone: "The 178th scene is about to begin. Actors, please arrive! Actors, please arrive!"

Not long after, all the actors in the scene came over, except Xu Xiaowei.

Director Li frowned and asked, "Where is she?"

The stagehand wiped his sweat and said, "I've asked someone to invite them."

Fifteen minutes later, a woman in a seductive dance costume appeared. She had a straw in her mouth and was drinking lemonade as she walked towards this side.

The stagehand rushed over and called the makeup artist over, "Hurry up and touch up Sister Xiaowei's makeup."

The makeup artist came over quickly with the makeup tools, but Xu Xiaowei didn't let her get close: "Don't come over, wait until I finish drinking."

The makeup artist stood there awkwardly.

And so, the entire crew waited for her for another five minutes.

She finally finished drinking the lemonade, put on her makeup, and officially started filming.

This scene is the first meeting between the heroine and the hero. In order to show that the heroine has left a deep impression on the hero, the camera will constantly give close-ups of Xu Xiaowei when she dances.

Do your best to show her beauty.

As soon as Xu Xiaowei on the stage jumped, the male lead Xu Yan in the audience was stunned. His hand that was pouring the wine froze. The glass was already full of wine, but he didn't even notice it.

The servant next to him reminded: "Sir! Your wine!"

Xu Yan came back to his senses, stopped what he was doing, and hurriedly straightened up the wine glass that had been knocked over.

"cut!"

Director Li and several staff members gathered together to look at the footage that had just been shot, and they all nodded.

Two minutes later, Director Li announced: "One take!"

Several actors were chatting and laughing on the side.

"Brother Yan, the way you looked at Sister Xiaowei dancing just now...something's wrong. Could it be that you really have fallen in love with Sister Xiaowei?"

"I noticed that, Brother Yan. Your reaction didn't seem like an act."

"It's just a living eye-drawing."

Xu Yan withdrew his gaze from the group of dancers and rolled his eyes at them.

Before he could open his mouth, Xu Xiaowei's voice came from not far away.

"Xu Yan, I don't like you, and I don't want to be in a relationship with you. Please keep your eyes open and don't stick to me all the time."

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and many people on the set heard it.

Everyone was embarrassed for Xu Yan, and the actors who had originally made fun of Xu Yan didn't dare to say anything at this time.

Xu Yan himself was not as angry as everyone expected. He said calmly: "I saw you because the script required it. Outside of the script, I have never seen you."

Xu Xiaowei looked disgusted: "You are still stubborn. Director Li just called cut, but you still looked at me with that perverted look. Isn't it disgusting?"

Xu Yan chuckled: "The person I'm looking at is not you."

There were whispers of discussion around.

"Brother Yan, are you looking at the one next to you?"

"Probably."

“That group performance is really beautiful.”

"You dance well, too."

Xu Xiaowei's face suddenly froze. She turned her head to look at the extras in dancers' costumes who were still there not far away, and locked her eyes on Yan Wanning who was smiling brightly.

Team leader Zhao: "Xiao Yan, I just heard the assistant director and several actors praising your performance. Maybe you will have your own role soon. Congratulations."

Yan Wanning was very excited, "Really?"

Team leader Zhao smiled and said, "I'm very good at judging people. Don't forget me as your team leader when you become successful in the future."

Yan Wanning kept bowing to Team Leader Zhao and thanked him, "Team Leader Zhao, thank you for giving me this opportunity, thank you so much!"

Team leader Zhao noticed Xu Xiaowei looking over here, the smile on his face faded, and he said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, don't thank me, just leave as soon as you finish the filming."

Xu Xiaowei's eyes were filled with poison. She asked the assistant beside her, "What's that woman's name?"

The assistant's expression froze, and he said cautiously, "Uh... He was just a temporary replacement, I don't know."

Xu Xiaowei glared at the assistant, then angrily ran to Director Li and said, "Director Li, I want to do another take of that scene."

Director Li said in an inclusive tone: "Xiaowei, you took that shot very well just now, come and take a look."

Xu Xiaowei took a symbolic look and frowned as she commented, "This scene is the highlight of the emotional line. My background cannot be too bright. It should be darker so that my face stands out."

"Let all the dancers wear veils, take off all the jewelry on their heads, and change into black skirts."

"That's it, let's finish the filming early and call it a day."

She left right after she said that, not giving Director Li any chance to refuse.
