Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

Director Yang walked out of the flower bed with great momentum, and the gust of wind he brought over blew over the leaves in the flower bed.

He was so angry that he walked past Ji Xingyao without even looking at her, and didn't even notice that there was such a living person standing here.

"Director Yang!" The assistant director followed him out of the flower bed.

He ran two steps and saw Ji Xingyao with a confused look on his face, so he stopped suddenly.

"S...Star, what a coincidence, you're here too."

The assistant director didn't expect that the crew's big secret would be exposed so clearly in front of Ji Xingyao.

Moreover, Director Yang vowed to make her the heroine of the crew.

May I ask if the person involved knows about this matter?

It was so embarrassing. The assistant director's toes instantly dug out a three-bedroom apartment.

Ji Xingyao also felt quite embarrassed. She nodded with a smile on her face, and the assistant director quickly ran away with his head down.

On the right side of the opening ceremony stage, Wen Yuan was talking to the screenwriter.

As the big boss of Xingyuan Media, Wen Yuan is not specifically responsible for script selection, but every time a short drama invested by their company starts filming, she will be invited to support the occasion.

Only after she came here today did she find out that this short play was an ancient harem drama, and the screenwriter was now introducing the general direction of the plot to her.

"After the heroine Jiang Banxia was reborn, she turned to revenge. She teamed up with the young general Bian Ji and killed the biggest villain in the book, the emperor..."

Before the screenwriter could finish his words, Director Yang came rushing over.

"Mr. Wen, I have a humble request. Could you please invite Star to play the female lead, Jiang Banxia, ​​in this drama?"

Before Wen Yuan could respond, the screenwriter exploded: "Director Yang, what do you mean by this?"

Director Yang's face was as dark as if he had just returned from Africa: "I want to change the female lead."

"Director Yang?" The screenwriter's expression suddenly changed, and his voice was sharp: "How could you be so unprofessional? There are only ten minutes left in the opening ceremony, and you're already changing the female lead at the last minute?"

Director Yang considered himself a hard-working person, but after being harshly stabbed in the back by Qin Miao today, he felt suffocated and depressed: "Qin Miao is asking for an exorbitant price. She wants a salary of three million before she will do the film."

"What!" the screenwriter jumped up. "What kind of female lead in a skit is worth that much? What the hell is she dreaming of?"

Director Yang and the screenwriter have been in this industry for decades and have seen a lot of shady dealings, but Qin Miao is the first one who arrogantly raises the price.

At this point, there were only ten minutes left before the departure ceremony.

"Mr. Wen, there are ten minutes left. Please make the decision. Can you please let Star be my leading lady?"

Director Yang was determined to ensure that today's opening ceremony went smoothly.

Wen Yuan frowned: "Give me five minutes."

Under the stage, all the actors were in place. The male lead, Shi Yubai, was wearing the general's uniform from the play and standing under the stage in full makeup, with a group of supporting actors standing beside him.

He was very tall and had an imposing demeanor. At first glance, he caught Ji Xingyao's attention.

From behind, Shi Yubai really looks like Li Heng on the battlefield.

At this time, Wen Yuan came to Ji Xingyao and said, "Xingyao, do Director Yang a favor. Go take the female lead's position so that the opening ceremony can go smoothly. As for acting, I will discuss it with Director Yang in detail after the ceremony."

"Me?" Ji Xingyao pointed at herself with her index finger: "Can I do it?"

"It's okay, just going through the motions first."

"Okay~"

Ji Xingyao was forced to do something and was pushed to Shi Yubai by the staff with a confused look on his face.

Shi Yubai turned around and nodded politely at her.

Ji Xingyao smiled awkwardly and nodded to him.

At 10:18, the opening ceremony officially began.

The host came on stage to give a speech. He changed the name of the heroine on the spot in his script. When introducing the heroine, he almost slipped up and said "Qin Miao". Realizing that something was wrong, he quickly changed it to "Star".

The ceremony proceeded according to the original process. The director, leading actor, investor, and screenwriter came to the stage together, and the director gave red envelopes to each main creator.

Ji Xingyao pinched it and found it was quite thick.

She glanced at it secretly and saw that it was whiter than hers, and it was not as thick as hers.

Director Yang's action was too obvious. They were all leading actors, so why were they treated differently? Ji Xingyao hid the red envelope in the palm of her hand, trying not to let anyone notice that the thickness of the red envelopes was different.

After Wen Yuan and the director lifted the red cloth covering the camera, everyone applauded. Ji Xingyao, bewildered, followed the clapping, lagging behind at every turn.

Everyone walked off the stage one after another. No one reminded Ji Xingyao what to do next. At this time, Shi Yubai turned his head and whispered to her, "Follow me."

"Okay, thank you."

Ji Xingyao took over the female lead's movements and stood with the male lead Shi Yubai no matter what she did. Previously, Ji Xingyao observed him and followed whatever he did, which made it less likely to make mistakes.

In the next segment, the creators burned incense and prayed for blessings.

The director is the first to burn incense, followed by the male and female protagonists.

"Let's go and burn incense." Before each process, Shi Yubai would remind Ji Xingyao.

With him, Ji Xingyao felt much more comfortable and finally didn't lag behind others any more.

Shi Yubai, dressed as a young general, and Ji Xingyao, wearing a casual white T-shirt, came to the incense burner at the same time, lit incense, kowtowed three times, and inserted the incense.

They moved in sync, even the degree of their bending was the same, and their auras were inexplicably aligned.

Director Yang stood aside and observed Ji Xingyao carefully. To be honest, she was much prettier than Qin Jiao. She was nearly 1.7 meters tall, and her skin was so white that it reflected the sun. Standing next to Shi Yubai, she was extremely pleasing to the eye.

The only drawback is that she has never acted in a play. She is not even a newcomer. She is just a passerby.

Director Yang was so angry that he refused to listen to Qin Miao and insisted on completing the opening ceremony.

But now that he had calmed down, he felt that he had been a little impulsive.

Stars are beautiful, but acting alone is useless. Their dramas are made to make money. If the female lead's acting is not up to standard, it will affect the subscription and broadcast of the drama. If the subsequent revenue does not reach the target, their drama will be a failure.

Although Shi Yubai is just a short play actor, he is already one of the top male actors in short plays at a young age. Last month, a TV drama director contacted him. Sooner or later, he will jump out of the short play circle and shoot TV dramas or even movies.

By then, this "Rebirth of the Cold Palace Concubine, She Awakens" can also be marketed as "Yu Shibai's last short drama" to make some money.

Therefore, this drama must be done well and with great quality.

Although Qin Miao's character is not commendable, she is one of the few actresses in short plays who can handle Shi Yubai's performance.

Star, can she do it?

Director Yang suppressed his doubts, remained silent, and quietly completed the process.

After the main creators finished burning incense, it was time for the crew to take a group photo.

In the center of the group photo, Ji Xingyao and Shi Yubai were surrounded by many extras and staff, holding red envelopes and looking at the camera with smiles.

After the opening ceremony, the entire crew had a dinner together on the fifth floor of the hotel.

In a nanny car five hundred meters away from the hotel, Qin Miao bit her nails anxiously, staring at her silent cell phone.
