Wen Ning'er was stunned. The tone sounded like someone was going to fight.

But there was nothing to be seen from his expression, it seemed as if he was just asking a simple question.

"Oh, it's me." Wen Ning'er stood up and nodded slightly. After all, the other person had taken the initiative to greet her, and it would not be nice for her to just sit there and do nothing.

"Tsk, she's just like this."

Yu Ling said this, raised her head, walked to the seat farthest from Wen Ning'er, sat down, found her script and started reading.

Wen Ning'er sat down again in confusion. She didn't really know this teacher, and his words and expressions made her confused. Was this person looking for trouble or was this just his personality?

Normally, Yu Ling wouldn't be so impulsive, because she thinks she and Hua Nandie are a good match. Hua Nandie had previously said that she wanted to play the role of Concubine Hua and was actively striving for it.

But the day before yesterday, I suddenly told myself that I could not film with her anymore because the role of Concubine Hua was snatched away by someone else, and that was a newcomer.

He also said something like maybe a newcomer is more suitable than himself, a veteran actor, and so on.

After hearing Hua Nandie's gossip, Yu Ling naturally felt sorry for her sister.

Wen Ning'er didn't take this seriously. After all, she didn't sense much malice, just a bit of a harsh tone.

And for some reason, she always felt that there was a clear stupidity in Yu Ling's eyes.

How to describe it, oh, a bit like that silly beauty.

After a while, the door of the conference room was pushed open again.

This time it was Director Zhang, and he brought along etiquette instructor Zheng Xiaolong.

Wen Ning'er secretly wondered: Etiquette training starts tomorrow, why did they bring people here now?

"Hello everyone, I'm Director Zhang Yuxiang. Regarding crew matters, other than filming, please contact Assistant Director Yuan Jiang."

Then he raised his right hand and pointed at Zheng Xiaolong beside him and continued, "This is Zheng Xiaolong, the etiquette instructor I hired specifically for this drama. He is also the childhood sweetheart of the heroine before she entered the palace - Doctor Wen."

Director Zhang found the script of the role of the imperial physician Wen Chu on the table and handed it to Zheng Xiaolong, "Here, this is your script."

Then he said to everyone, "Take a quick look first, and then I'll tell you about the play."

"But let me make this clear. Although I'm young, I've been in the industry for quite some time. If anyone causes any trouble during filming, they'll bear the consequences themselves. Don't blame me for not informing you in advance."

This is actually a very unpleasant thing to say. Generally, only well-known directors would not be so disrespectful to actors.

Wen Ning'er listened to the director's words and thought to herself: I didn't expect Director Zhang to be so tough.

I secretly glanced at Teacher Chen and Teacher Sun. They were the only two big names in this drama, but their expressions didn't change at all. I don't know if they were good at cultivating their qi or if they simply didn't care.

Of course Chen Bin didn't suggest it. He came here to film a movie, and he wanted nothing more than trouble-free behavior.

Sun Lili had no objection. She had encountered many shady crews before. It was just that after she became famous, some things didn't come to her attention, so she was too lazy to care.

Of course, a quieter place is better.

After the actors finished reading the script in their hands, the director began to explain the situation of the play to everyone.

This drama is a Qing Dynasty palace drama. The novel is set in a fictional era, but some of the rules are based on the Qing Dynasty.

In order to make the film more acceptable to the public, the director discussed with the original author, who is now one of the screenwriters of the crew, and changed the background to the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.

The content mainly shows how the heroine gradually ascends to the position of empress dowager in Yongzheng's harem.

This is a standard drama with a strong female lead. The only male character with more screen time is the emperor, followed by the prince and the imperial physician.

Wen Ning'er's role takes up about half of the entire TV series. She mainly fights against the heroine in the early stage, and is defeated by the heroine in the middle stage.

She once again felt that she was quite lucky to get such an important role in her first acting career. The various configurations and plots of this drama reminded her of a TV series "Legend of Huan" that she had watched before.

All she could say was that different worlds always had similarities. Sometimes she couldn't tell whether she was living in a parallel world now or in the past.

However, after so long, she gradually came to terms with it. No matter which parallel world it was, as long as she lived realistically at the moment, that was enough.

Shaking off the inappropriate thoughts, Wen Ning'er thought that when she auditioned, the image of the villain concubine was based on Concubine Hua in a certain TV series "Legend of Huan". Even the name of the concubine in this drama was similar to that of a certain TV series "Legend of Huan" in her previous life.

This is a long-lasting hit drama. It is said that an entire company relies on the copyright of this drama for its livelihood.

Everyone discussed the plot seriously, the characteristics of each character, and the background of the script, and after that they could go back and rest.

If you want to hear from others, you can stay.

So Chen Bin and Sun Lili went back first. Wen Ning'er was a newcomer, and her role was the last one to be mentioned. She would be mentioned occasionally when talking about other people.

By the time she finished speaking her role and came out of the conference room, it was already 11:30 in the evening.

She was so sleepy. She had almost never slept so late before. She always went to bed early and got up early.

Even when doing practice questions or memorizing questions, I have never broken this rule. It has become a biological clock.

In the end, the director let her go and went back only after seeing her yawning and crying.

Before leaving, she was reminded that she was a newcomer and it was her first time acting, so her audition performance was unexpected, but learning never ends and there is always room for improvement in acting skills.

Wen Ning'er felt that the director was right, but she couldn't resist her biological clock.

I yawned again, quickly washed up, and then climbed onto the hotel bed in a daze. I fell asleep as soon as I lay down.

When I woke up the next day, my head felt a little uncomfortable, but the rest of my body was fine.

After washing up in the morning, Wen Ning'er, completely refreshed, walked towards the gathering place with bright eyes.

Let’s start learning etiquette today!

Not to mention, Wen Ning'er is quite looking forward to the etiquette training.

But soon, she no longer had the energy to look forward to it. From walking to performing the temple-stroking salute and then to squatting salute, it was just like military training.

There were too many rules in the Qing Dynasty. Take the squatting ceremony for example. The upper body needs to be straight, the legs together, the right foot slightly pulled back, the knees bent forward, and the posture is half squatting.

At the same time, place your left hand below and your right hand above, overlapping and placing them on your knees. Hold for about one breath, then return to the original position to complete the ritual.

When performing a salute, one must let the long robe touch the ground, with the lapels open in all directions, slowly and deeply, showing an elegant temperament. (Baidu)

Although she played a concubine and did not have to squat to salute on many occasions, and even often deliberately prevented people from standing up, the crew required her to do it even if she did not have to.

Because during filming, a certain character may suddenly be required to perform a certain action, and it is impossible to wait until then to learn it.

So Wen Ning'er started a new life, learning etiquette, walking, figuring out the role, writing biographies and other knowledge every day.

Just as Wen Ning'er was getting used to this kind of life, the assistant director arrived and said, "Today is the last day of etiquette learning and reading. After that, we'll have two days to rest."

Assistant Director Yuan Jiang looked at how even the best actor and actress seemed relieved and laughed a little.

Director Zhang is so strict. Look, even the two big names can’t handle it.

However, this drama is so well-made and the script is not bad. It is foreseeable that even if it is a web drama, it will still be popular.

"Filming will start at 2pm the day after tomorrow, and there will be a pre-production banquet afterward."

Wen Ning'er thought about it and thought, if he could take a two-day break, could he have some fun in Zhejiang Province?

"Assistant Director, can I go out during breaks?" I've gotten to know everyone in the crew well over the past two months, and I'm not so reserved about what I say.

Yuan Jiang glanced at her and made a rare joke: "Okay, just don't be late for the opening banquet."

That's definitely not possible! She still knows what's important and what's not.

"Ah. I'm definitely not late."

Hey, you can go play now~
