"What a poor opening ceremony!"
Usually when filming a movie or TV series, there must be a start-up ceremony. This custom was passed down from Xiangjiang, but going further back, it originated in Liyuan.
Before starting to sing, you must first pay homage to the ancestor.
On the table were some melon and fruit snacks, roast chicken, roast duck, roast goose, and a small roast suckling pig.
The cameras on both sides were also covered with red hijabs.
After the ceremony, a shot must be taken first. Usually this first shot is a direct shot, which also means that the crew's subsequent filming can proceed smoothly, which is a good omen.
It's just that when Gu Yi, as a representative of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, went to some large production crews to participate in the opening ceremony, there were far more sacrifices than there are now. Various actors and staff also lined up in a mighty formation, and the scene was very grand.
There are only more than fifty people here in total.
The first scene is a scene between the male protagonist and the female protagonist, played by Gu Yi and Yu Xue.
They acted out their first meeting in the palace.
The two of them have a total of about a hundred lines, and they have already memorized these lines.
"Pass!"
After filming, Zhang Fan stood up and shouted.
Then we started shooting in the order of the scenes.
Usually the order of scenes during filming will be arranged according to the director's habits, but generally small crews with insufficient funds will finish one scene and then change to the next one.
All filming venue fees are waived in Hengdian. After all, the crew has to pay to eat, drink and have sex in Hengdian, and all the surrounding industries belong to the Hengdian Group, including hotels, various production companies and equipment companies here. , prop companies and even travel companies, etc.
Compared with venue fees, these are the real big expenses.
So as long as they make an appointment, they can enjoy shooting here.
"The camera and lighting are ready, the prop team has prepared the props, are all the extras here?"
"Everyone is here!" the assistant director said.
"Okay, the shooting will officially start in half an hour!"
Everyone started making hasty preparations.
Xia Shuying was a palace maid who had just entered the palace and was assigned to wash clothes in the clothes bureau.
The eldest maid in charge of their work is a very difficult old woman, because at this age, being left in the Clothing Bureau means that she will no longer have the opportunity to serve those ladies.
Wherever there are people, there is class, especially in the palace.
The palace maids and nuns around those ladies were arrogant in front of them. Although they were unhappy, they still had to put on a flattering smile on their faces to flatter each other.
Xia Shuying had just entered the palace not long ago, so she was assigned to do such hard work. Not only did she have to wash clothes every day, she was also responsible for fetching and pouring water.
This made her, a female college student who had just traveled through the 21st century, very uncomfortable.
Just to survive in this world, she could only grit her teeth.
That morning, the old woman named Bilian was in a bad mood because she had eaten bad food that morning, so she came over to pick on them again. As expected, Xia Shuying and another famous woman who came a month earlier than her The maid who was Xiuhe was scolded by the other party for deliberately finding faults.
Then they were punished to pour water.
The two had no choice but to accept the punishment.
On the way to pour water, Xia Shuying thought that she had given him less medicine in the morning. If she had known that the other party would be able to recover in the morning, she should have given him more medicine.
But as they were walking, they suddenly encountered a team of show girls. Each of those show girls were beautifully dressed and heading towards the Shenxiu Palace.
Xiuhe quickly put down the pole and was about to lower her head. Then she noticed that Xia Shuying was standing there indifferently, and she quickly reached out and patted Xia Shuying.
Only then did Xia Shuying react, imitating Xiuhe's posture and movements and standing in the corner.
But just now Xiuhe put the bucket a little farther out in a hurry. A beautiful girl was walking and accidentally kicked over the bucket, causing her clothes to get wet.
Then the show girl immediately screamed out in surprise.
But once these beautiful ladies are selected, they will become talented people. If they get the emperor's favor, they can become concubines. They are not comparable to the palace ladies.
So when the beautiful lady saw that her clothes were wet, she immediately became angry and dragged Xiuhe to the ground. She threatened that this dress was specially prepared by her today, so she stepped on Xiuhe's hand. Come on, ask Xiuhe to use his skills to compensate.
As a result, Xia Shuying on the side saw this scene and hurriedly went up to plead for mercy.
"My young master, today is a great day for the palace election. It is not appropriate to be stained with blood or disturb my mood."
"What about my clothes?"
Seeing this, Xia Shuying thought that if this matter could not be resolved properly, Xiuhe would suffer, so she pulled the other party aside and reluctantly took out the watch she had brought after time travel: "Little Master, you don't want it I blame her, she didn’t do it unintentionally, this is an ancestral artifact of our family, it can move around on its own, it’s very delicate.”
The showgirl's eyes lit up when she saw that the watch was indeed very beautiful, especially when the needle inside could rotate on its own.
"And the water here is pure water. The weather is so good today, it will dry up in a moment."
The beautiful lady calmly took the watch and put it into her arms, and then said arrogantly: "Then I will spare your lives today."
After saying that, he followed Xiu Nu's team and left.
After seeing the other party leaving, Xia Shuying quickly went up to help Xiuhe up and checked Xiuhe's injuries.
Xiuhe's hand had been trampled and was bleeding. Xia Shuying directly pulled off the corner of her inner lining and bandaged it briefly.
"Why are you so crazy? When I gain power one day, I will make them look good!" Xia Shuying said angrily.
Xiuhe was moved, but she quickly stopped Xia Shuying and told her not to talk nonsense. There were many people in the palace, and if anyone listened, it would be a disaster.
After they went back like this, Bilian complained that they went back too late, suspecting that they were running around in the palace and going to places they shouldn't go. Then she raised her arm and gave Xiuhe a slap in the face without any explanation.
Xia Shuying explained loudly that they met a passing team of show girls, which delayed them for a while, but Bilian saw that Xia Shuying actually dared to talk to her so loudly.
He immediately raised his hand and wanted to give Xia Shuying another blow.
At this moment, her hand was grabbed by someone, and then there was a crisp sound.
Bi Lian covered her face in disbelief.
She didn't expect that Xia Shuying would dare to hit herself!
"It's contrary! It's really contrary! If I don't beat you to death today, I won't call you Bilian!"
"I think you don't want Bilian!"
As Xia Shuying said this, she slapped the other person again: "My mother has never slapped me, so you are nothing!"
Now Bilian was completely angry!
"Catch her, and today I will tear her face apart and break her hands!"
Xia Shuying looked around. Several palace ladies who wanted to curry favor with Bilian immediately stood up and tried to control her. She was so frightened that she turned around and ran away.
There were many buildings in the palace, and Xia Shuying had just arrived. She didn't know the way at all, so she ran to a courtyard.
Then one end got into the hole under the rockery.
But when she looked up, she saw a sneaky little eunuch who had just come out of the warehouse and met his eyes.
Time suddenly froze for two seconds.
Then the two of them put their index fingers to their mouths at the same time and made a shushing gesture.
It didn't take long for Bilian to catch up.
Hearing the footsteps, the little eunuch quickly turned his back and wanted to hide back in the warehouse.
"That eunuch! Did you see a palace maid running in?"
Bilian shouted.
But the little eunuch became even more panicked after hearing this, and walked quickly towards the warehouse.
"Did you steal something?"
Bilian was suspicious and hurriedly chased after her. As a result, she happened to see Xia Shuying hiding in the rockery cave from the corner of her eye.
"Okay, you're actually hiding here. You two are working together, right?"
"Look, if I tell the manager about this, you two will just wait to die!"
Then, she grabbed the little eunuch with one hand and pulled Xia Shuying out with the other hand.
Xia Shuying knew that there was no way to escape, so she thought it would be better to have a good time before death, so she immediately broke away from Bilian's hand, raised her hand and slapped her loudly again.
"You still dare to hit me, you will die today, I said, you will die today!"
But at this moment, the little eunuch was pulled and turned around.
Bi Lian was shocked when she saw the other party's face.
"Second...Second Prince? Why is it you?"
After saying that, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Second Prince, please forgive me. I deserve death. I didn't know it was you, and I offended you!"
Only then did Xia Shuying look at the little eunuch in front of her in surprise. She didn't know why the second prince in the palace wore eunuch clothes.
…
The second prince Li Zhao is Gu Yi's character.
The second prince turned around and looked at Bilian with an unhappy expression.
Because today he wanted to sneak out of the palace to play with the girls in the palace, but unexpectedly he was caught by Bi Lian, who also teased him.
"You are so brave!"
Bi Lian was so frightened that she was shaking like chaff: "It's all this little bitch. She made a mistake. This slave is here to find her. Who would have thought that she would meet the second prince."
When Xia Shuying heard this, she immediately replied: "Who are you talking about, little bitch?"
"The little bitch said you..."
"What mistake did she make?"
"She hit me!"
The second prince sneered: "Well done!"
Then he pulled Xia Shuying over and said, "The maid who offends the royal family by being unruly like this should be slapped! Give her a few more slaps and stop when she gets tired!"
When Xia Shuying heard this, she realized that there was such a good thing?
Immediately rolled up his sleeves, shook off his arms, opened his bow left and right, and struck Bi Lian in the face.
I don’t know how many slaps I got.
Finally she stopped.
"tired?"
"Um."
The second prince looked at Bilian: "Then get out of here. This is just a small lesson. If you dare to make the same mistake again next time, it won't be as simple as a slap in the face."
After that, he added: "By the way, if you dare to tell the third person... dare to tell the fourth person about this matter today, just wait until you enter Ye Ting!"
Hearing the name Ye Ting, Bilian almost stumbled to the ground. That was the place where criminal palace maids were imprisoned. Originally, she was sent to the Huanyi Bureau because she had offended a big palace maid before. She finally managed to do it here. If she holds the position of consul and is imprisoned in Yeting again, then her life will be completely over.
"Second Prince, if I know this, I will keep it secret!"
After Bilian left, the second prince looked at Xia Shuying.
"Say it."
Xia Shuying, who had just escaped from death, didn't know what the second prince asked her to say. After thinking for a moment, she quickly put on a smile:
"Second Prince, you are such a good person!"
As a result, the second prince laughed when he heard this.
"A good person? You are the first to say that about me."
Xia Shuying continued: "Your Highness, because your eyes look very kind."
The second prince had been illiterate and naughty since he was a child. He couldn't help but feel amused when he heard someone praise him so much.
"Are you from the Clothing Bureau?"
"Yes, this slave is from the Clothing Bureau. She just came here not long ago."
"Then do you want to come here?"
Xia Shuying's heart skipped a beat: "Being a princess?"
"You have a good idea. My princess is so easy to do. You are here just to do some chores here."
Xia Shuying patted her chest upon hearing this: "That's good."
"What did you say?"
"Your Highness, this slave is saying that it's great. I don't want to stay here all day long!"
"Okay, then from now on you are my own, but you can give me a break first. I have to go in and change my clothes."
After saying that, the second prince walked towards the warehouse, muttering as he walked: "Oh, I missed the time to leave the palace again today, it seems I can only do it next time..."
