Chapter 42: Crew Life

"Princess Cooking" is a costume drama. Feitianxia Media asked Zhuo Lan to play the role of a palace servant who prepares royal meals.

She didn't have many scenes, only three or four scenes, the most important of which was when she was framed and something went wrong, and she was eventually executed.

Although there are very few scenes, it is still a challenge for Zhuo Lan.

First of all, she had never acted in a TV series, so she felt a little apprehensive.

Secondly, the last time she was selected by Director Li Lifang to play the third female lead in a movie, she mainly played her true character. Now she plays this little palace lady who is quite clever. She is a person who is a little clever and wants to get ahead, but is tricked to death in the end. It is completely different from her.

The personalities are different.

So, there are still challenges.

After joining the crew, Zhuo Lan has been hiding in a corner reading the script and memorizing her lines. She is worried that she will forget her words and may not perform well.

Due to her family environment since childhood, this child has always had an inferiority complex in her heart, which makes her cautious no matter what she does.

Qiu Ming, on the other hand, is very carefree. He wanders around the set as soon as he comes. He sees everything new and helps out from time to time. If he encounters something he doesn't understand, he just asks him directly and he can quickly start chatting with people.

After a long time, Zhuo Lan's scene didn't start filming. There was supposed to be a scene in the morning, but it was delayed until the afternoon, and no one came to greet Zhuo Lan.

Qiu Ming squatted under the eaves of the studio and asked a field manager: "What on earth is being filmed here? Why hasn't it come out after so long?"

The steward was smoking a cigarette and said without any concealment: "This kind of clearing scene is of course a sex scene."

"Sex scene?"

Qiu Ming couldn't help but get excited: "Does your TV series have such a high-level drama?"

"Ahem, don't think too much!"

The field manager waved his hand and said, "That's it. There's nothing too intense."

We've already gone to bed, isn't it too intense?

Qiu Ming blinked and said nothing.

The stage manager added: "I heard that the acting was not good and the director got angry... Well, it took so long to work on it and it didn't come out, so no wonder the director got angry."

After working on it for a long time, I couldn’t get it out...

Qiu Ming felt that these words might have other meanings, and couldn't help but think about it again and again.

After finishing the remaining cigarette in one gulp, the set manager turned his head and said to Qiu Ming: "Your artist's scenes probably won't be filmed today. I'll go take a look first. I guess I have to put things away."

After saying that, he patted his butt and left directly.

Qiu Ming thought for a while, then turned and walked outside the tent.

When he came to Zhuo Lan's side, his own artist was still reading the script. After Qiu Mingmao passed by, he handed over the water glass: "Stop reading, drink some water first, and take a rest."

Zhuo Lan put down the script, took a sip of water, and asked, "Why isn't it my turn yet?"

The longer the time dragged on, the more nervous she became. What to do during the official shooting and how to perform in front of the camera had been going through her mind so many times that she was almost at a loss for ideas.

Qiu Ming said: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, and don't be nervous. I heard that your scene can't be filmed until tomorrow."

"Yes...really?"

I don't know why, but after hearing this, Zhuo Lan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed all of a sudden.

"why?"

After relaxing, Zhuo Lan couldn't help but ask again.

Qiu Ming pointed in the direction of the studio: "It's said that today's shooting was not going well... Well, I don't know the specifics."

Zhuo Lan looked at Qiu Ming and said nothing.

Although she didn't know where Qiu Ming got the news, she just believed it.

Sure enough, not long after, an assistant director came over and announced that the original shooting plan was cancelled, and that everyone who was waiting for filming today would come back tomorrow.

There are many actors waiting here, of course the biggest ones are waiting in the RV, and there are also some extras and actors of varying sizes.

Zhuo Lan is one of them.

Upon hearing the assistant director's words, everyone outside the studio was in an uproar and then left.

Qiu Ming and Zhuo Lan looked at each other, stood up in unison, packed up and left.

Back at the hotel, Qiu Ming got Zhuo Lan something to eat, then told her to go to bed early and went back to the room.

This is what male assistants do, they charge room.

If you are a female assistant, you can sleep directly with the artist.

It was too early to stay in the room and couldn't sleep. Qiu Ming simply got some wine and two packs of spicy strips by himself, and walked up to the rooftop of the hotel to prepare for the night.

As soon as I opened the door to the rooftop, I heard someone crying, a female voice.

Qiu Ming was stunned for a moment and did not dare to take a step.

Just kidding, if you hear a woman crying in a place like this when it’s dark, who knows if it’s a human or a ghost?

The crying man seemed to have heard the sound of him pushing the door open, and his crying suddenly dropped and stopped completely.

After Qiu Ming hesitated for a moment, he was about to turn around and leave when he unexpectedly heard someone from the rooftop asking: "Who is it?"

Immediately afterwards, another figure came out from an angle he couldn't see and glanced in his direction.

Qiu Ming was very embarrassed. He originally wanted to leave, but it would be bad if he turned around and left at this time.

Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and say: "I just came here...well, I came here to enjoy the cool air."

"Cool?"

The man was startled for a moment.

At this time, it’s too cold to wear anything less, so what’s the point of enjoying the cool air?

Qiu Ming also felt that his casual excuse was too bad, so he quickly corrected it: "I just want to find a place to have a drink."

As he spoke, he shook the wine and spicy sticks in his hand to prove that he was telling the truth this time.

The other party took one look at the thing in his hand and probably believed it, so he didn't say anything more.

The two fell into a brief silence, making the atmosphere slightly awkward.

Qiu Ming wanted to get away and said, "You continue, I'll find another place to drink."

"Need not!"

The man suddenly stopped and said, "I want to drink too."

If you want to drink, go buy it yourself...

After Qiu Ming thought for a while, he didn't feel embarrassed to say what was in his heart. Instead, he nodded generously: "That's just right. You can drink with me."

Hearing this, Qiu Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes on the face that he couldn't see clearly. He actually asked her to accompany him for a drink. If it had been done at any other time, she would have definitely left without looking back.

But today——

She nodded: "Close the door."

She couldn't imagine anyone breaking in again and seeing her like this.

Qiu Ming could only walk up to the rooftop and close the door.

As he got closer, he finally saw the person's face clearly, and was immediately startled: "Are you...are you a princess?"

"I am Cheng Yufei."

Cheng Yufei couldn't help but rolled her eyes again and corrected her.

"Oh oh oh, hello, hello..."

Qiu Ming resisted the temptation to say "Nice to meet you" and quickly found a clean place to put down the wine and spicy strips.

While doing this, he thought about many gossip-related things in his mind.

This is the protagonist in the play. Why is he crying on the rooftop so late at night?

Could it be because the sex scene didn’t go well during today’s filming?

Or is it because of other emotional entanglements between men and women?

The two of them were sitting on the floor. Qiu Ming was secretly looking at the pretty face next to him. Unexpectedly, he heard Cheng Yufei say: "You are not allowed to tell anyone about what happened tonight, do you understand?"

Qiu Ming nodded vigorously: "I won't tell, and I won't tell anyone."
