"The actors take a twenty-minute break while the others prepare for the transition!"
Wei Xiao gave the order, and the huge crew immediately got busy again.
Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing were not far apart from each other. Even between Jiang Lingxu and He Zhu, who were acting as assistants, there was only Wei Minmin, who was dragging a rest chair over.
Taking the water glass handed over by Jiang Lingxu, Jiang Lingxi took a sip and then looked casually in a certain direction.
After he sat down, he even pushed back the water He Zhu handed him. As soon as he picked up his cell phone, he lowered his head and clicked on the screen. He looked very busy.
Jiang Lingxi thought he was taking time off to work, but as soon as he looked away, a hand stretched out from the side, holding her mobile phone in his hand.
The owner of the hand, classmate Jiang Lingxu, looked like he didn't know what to say at this moment, and whispered: "Sister...no, it's a message from Mr. Shen."
I almost asked him to speak smoothly again.
But what are these two people doing? They can look at each other and talk to each other just by tilting their heads slightly. As for using their mobile phones to send messages?
Jiang Lingxi took the phone, unlocked the screen, clicked on the still flashing Shen Yunqing's profile picture, and saw a short essay of almost two hundred words.
I bet the dots on the screen just now were typing!
No one noticed that the corners of Jiang Lingxi's lips raised slightly.
Maybe someone noticed that, while his face remained motionless, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The main purpose of the essay is to explain why Jiang Xiyu suddenly came over to say hello before the shooting started.
If someone didn't take the initiative to explain this matter, given her character, it would be fine if she didn't see Jiang Xiyu and still took the initiative to get in front of Shen Yunqing. Now that she has seen it, she will not pretend not to see it. The reason is bound to be To find out clearly.
Jiang Lingxi clicked on the words 'misidentification', 'only met once', 'only said one sentence' and other words on the essay. Although she already had a guess in her mind, she still typed and asked: "Who did you mistakenly identify?"
Almost as soon as she sent it successfully, the message came back with a simple word: "You."
Jiang Lingxi tightened her fingers on the phone.
Just as he was about to continue typing, his arm was tugged.
"Sister Xi, let's go, we have to change scenes. I've never seen you so obsessed with playing with your mobile phone before. Why do you hold your mobile phone without looking up this time during the scene?"
Jiang Lingxi stood up following Wei Minmin's strength, raised her hand to signal Jiang Lingxu to follow, and replied slowly: "Of course there are more interesting things on the phone."
"A game? Recommend it to me. I'm in a game shortage."
Jiang Lingxi threw the phone to Jiang Lingxu and refused with a smile: "You can't play."
A turn-based game exclusively for her and Shen.

There were almost forty minutes left before noon, and the second scene started filming.
Before the filming started, Wei Xiao announced with a loudspeaker, "We will have lunch after filming this scene. Everyone cheers up. Let's try to do it again."
The main part of the scene this time was still with Jiang Lingxi. Since the previous shots had gone smoothly, this scene was not difficult. He was even in the mood to discuss what to have for lunch with the assistant director sitting next to him.
Inside the exact replica of Yushu Pavilion.
Emperor Yuan Zhao sat in front of the writing desk and accepted the secret folder from the black-clad guard who entered in armor.
At the entrance of Yushu Pavilion, Qingyuan walked in with Qingxin lotus seed soup made by herself on a tray.
The script was very specific when it came to Qingyuan's movements at this moment. His steps were neither fast nor slow. It looked like he was not walking fast, but in fact he reached the desk in a flash. The shoulders and back are straight and the feet are silent, so as not to disturb Emperor Yuan Zhao who is looking at the secret fold. The lotus seed soup in his hand is held very steadily.
But when Jiang Xiyu carrying the tray appeared in front of the camera, Wei Xiao couldn't help but frown when he looked at the figure appearing on the storyboard in front of him.
His posture was unstable, his shoulders were swaying, his footsteps were soft and heavy, and the lotus seed soup on the tray was shaking again and again.
This demeanor is not even comparable to that of a few extras playing the roles of maids.
He even wondered how this person had practiced with the etiquette teacher before.
If the main shot hadn't been on Jiang Lingxi, he would have started over from the beginning.
"Over and over again..." After repeating it silently in his mind several times, Wei Xiao finally resisted the urge to shout NG.
"Your Majesty, have a bowl of lotus seed soup before you get busy!"
Listening to the erratic voice coming from the radio, Wei Xiao: I can dub it later!
Jiang Lingxi lightly tapped the table with her fingers, signaling to put it down.
Jiang Xiyu paused, walked to a place where the camera could see his face, and then put down the tray in his hand.
Jiang Lingxi put down the secret book in her hand and said, "Grind the ink."
Jiang Xiyu could only go around to Jiang Lingxi's right side again, took an ink stick, dripped water and polished the ink.
But when Jiang Lingxi dipped her pen in ink and prepared to write, Qingyuan should have taken a step back and stood quietly with her eyes lowered. She didn't know what Jiang Xiyu was thinking, but she actually poked her head and looked at the paper.
Wei Xiao stood up suddenly, his irritable voice startling everyone.
Jiang Lingxi held the brush that had just been dipped in ink in her hand. She was shaken by the shout of stop coming from the loudspeaker. A drop of ink suddenly dripped, damaging a piece of paper.
"Have you forgotten what Qingyuan should do at this time? In history, the emperor who peeked when approving secret documents was beheaded. Do you know that you, a palace maid, have nothing to do with your head? What did you have in your head just now? Tell me. Say, who allowed you to change the play without authorization..."
After a series of bombardments, the entire set was silent except for the director's loud voice.
Jiang Lingxi put down her brush, turned to look at Jiang Xiyu, who was blushing, and asked softly, "Have you read the script carefully?"
Jiang Xiyu said without thinking, "Of course, I..."
Jiang Lingxi was too lazy to listen to what she said. Without waiting for the attendant to come forward, she changed the paper in front of her and looked at Wei Xiao, who was still angry. "Director, let's start again."
This was the first time she was forced to NG, thanks to her pig opponent.
Fortunately, the harsh lesson just now had some effect, and I passed this section smoothly.
Especially in the short section where Emperor Yuan Zhao approved secret folding, Jiang Lingxi didn't even use his hands. The calligraphy written by his hand as gracefully as a dragon on the camera made Wei Xiao smile again.
Then Emperor Yuan Zhao took two sips of the lotus seed soup and ordered Qing Yuan to withdraw. Qing Yuan asked for two more bites. The two looked at each other for a moment. Emperor Yuan Zhao had no choice but to eat another half of the bowl because of the persistence in Qing Yuan's eyes.
After Jiang Xiyu finished speaking, he raised his eyes and met Jiang Lingxi's eyes.
This is the first time the two look at each other in the play.
"Kakakaka, Qingyuan, why are you so stunned?"
The thunderous voice made Jiang Xiyu suddenly come back to his senses. He subconsciously took two steps back and held on to the bookshelf beside him before he stood still.
He opened his mouth, wanting to explain but not knowing how.
Can she say that the moment she and Jiang Lingxi looked at each other, it was as if she really saw the eyes of an emperor who held the power of life and death? The indifferent and powerful momentum made her mind go blank and she could not remember what she wanted to do?
If she really said it, people around her would probably think that she was trying to gain respect for herself.
"Yes, I'm sorry, director, I didn't react for a while."
"If you do it again, if you're still out of shape and can't perform, get out of here!"
Jiang Xiyu clenched his palms and took a deep breath, telling himself over and over again that it was an illusion, and his cheeks twitched in response.
Under the restarted camera, the stare-off ended. Jiang Lingxi picked up the lotus seed soup with a helpless expression, took a spoonful and prepared to put it into her mouth.
Just as she was about to open her mouth, there was a sudden tightness in her heart. She frowned slightly and before she could turn her head, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
The lotus seed soup in the bowl was immediately stained red with blood.
Wei Xiao was stunned at first, and then he remembered that the script for this section did not include vomiting blood.
He quickly stood up and shouted: "What's going on?" He was about to walk over.
But there was a figure who was faster and more urgent than him. Almost as soon as Jiang Lingxi put down the bowl and spoon in her hand and pressed her heart, she was hugged by the waist and jumped up from the chair.
"He help, hospital!"
