This was the first time Shizheng had seen this type of business card. It only displayed a name and a phone number. However, the craftsmanship was incredibly exquisite. When touched, it had a textured and raised golden pattern. Under the light, it would refract in different ways, revealing the four characters "Yougu Corporation" in both Chinese and English.

I'm not sure whether it should be described as cleverly designed or deliberately teasing.

"Is this what they call low-key luxury?"

He regarded himself as a lustful Omega, repeatedly staring at a business card, or perhaps he was the kind of person who approached Young Master Ye with ulterior motives.

There was a moment when Shizheng really wanted to break the agreement, but considering how ridiculous the reason was, it would be too melodramatic. Besides, the best way to handle this matter is to bury it deep in the heart, as if nothing ever happened.

"It's just acting, whether it's in front of the camera or in real life, it's the same."

After Shizheng finished her endorsement for the game, she immediately joined the production team for filming.

It is a long historical drama in which Shizheng plays the role of an unloved royal prince. Later, he colludes with an enemy country and overthrows the influential family who had caused the death of his own empress mother. Afterward, he ascends to the throne as the emperor.

The original work basically had no romantic plotline, but in order to cater to the tastes of the audience and expand the audience, the screenwriter and the original author made modifications and patched together a relatively complete romantic plotline. However, they also added some tacky scenes. For example, the princess is the niece of the original queen, and the young prince married her for revenge. In the end, the princess gave birth to a son but died prematurely, while the young prince ascended to the throne and enjoyed endless prosperity. It can be considered a historical drama with elements of power struggle and romance.

The director is the renowned Liu Xun, famous for shooting period dramas. Both the screenwriter and the producer are top-notch as well. Liu Xun has a habit, which is that he enjoys shooting on-location. He tries to find real settings whenever possible to reproduce the script, rather than relying on post-production. Moreover, he particularly dislikes actors taking leave. For example, some actors may take on three scripts at once, flying back and forth for shooting every day, or they may have various notices to catch up on. These situations often require time management, but in this regard, Liu Xun is quite whimsical. Even if an actor doesn't have scenes on a particular day, he still demands their presence on set because he never knows when inspiration will strike and require them to start shooting.

Therefore, the crew members of the production team were all leading quite arduous lives. Under the demanding expectations of the director, nobody dared to relax. However, everyone understood that this was necessary in order to present the highest quality images. Hence, even the actresses didn't hesitate to jump into filthy sewers during the freezing winter.

"Click."

With the director's command, the staff and actors breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to pull the trembling female actress out of the gutter, escorting her to change clothes, wrapped in a thick down jacket.

The actress's originally white feathered costume was covered in mud, with a muddy footprint on each foot.

"Everyone, take a 30-minute break. Shizheng, please come over here."

The director called Shi Zheng over to the monitor and told him what to pay attention to in the upcoming scene.

"You two must absolutely not make eye contact, showing any sympathy, pity, admiration, or surprise. Remember, you are the cold and ruthless prince. Human life is insignificant in your eyes, of course, you are not even worth bullying an ant. Therefore, you simply killed those few scoundrels, just as easily as sweeping away dust with a whip, and rode away on horseback."

Shi Zhen has grasped it really well. When it was time to start shooting, she was able to nail almost every scene in one take. However, the female actress encountered some unexpected issues.

"Ka, you are a county princess. Even if you are a displaced hostage, weakness may be present, but more importantly, the pride of the royal family!"

The actress trembled as she listened to the director's instructions. With her already petite face and a high bun, she appeared even more delicate and pitiful.

"Don't show such a pitiful expression!"

"The director commanded."

The makeup artist quickly touched up the two individuals' makeup and then took another shot.

However, the other party seemed to be so nervous from the director's harsh remarks that they even forgot their words.

"Click, try again!"

After several unsuccessful takes, the director seemed to be a little upset.

"Capture the first one!"

The actress was surrounded by two assistants and staff members and taken to a corner to rest.

The assistant helped her dry her hair while she held onto a hot water bag, not saying a word.

Fortunately, Shi Zheng's performance satisfied Liu Xun, and they finished shooting today's scene without much difficulty.

The assistant handed the down jacket to Shizheng. Wu Fangyu whispered, "It was originally forced in to make up the scene, blame it on Director Liu's lack of strictness!"

Shi Zheng is no longer surprised by such things. After all, when it comes to resources, it isn't always the case that a gem will shine. In fact, many times the gem gets buried, which is why so many people resort to unscrupulous means to gain attention.

"But the director was really fierce just now."

"The assistant whispered softly."

Wu Fangyu glanced at her and said, "If it were any other director, they might just do some retakes and call it a day. But Director Liu has a severe case of perfectionism. It seems like you'll have to accompany her for some additional shooting later. I'll go ask the financier for overtime pay!"

Shi Zheng couldn't help but laugh at Wu Fangyu's vengeful expression, saying, "She stood in the ditch for almost two hours."

"What?"

"It's possible that it's just due to their young age, not necessarily lack of professionalism."

Shi Zhen said.

He returned the hot water bag to the assistant and said, "Actors support each other, and the same goes for creating a good work."

Wu Fangyu quickly understood and saw Shizheng walking towards the little white flower.

"Wow, Zhenge looks so handsome!"

The little assistant held the hot water bag and became infatuated.

"Being handsome my ass, this is called unnecessarily stirring up trouble."

Wu Fangyu muttered quietly, watching the two people in the corner already engrossed in conversation. She was alert, checking if there were any media outlets secretly taking photos nearby. This kind of ambiguous relationship between actors of the same drama crew is both their biggest taboo and the easiest way to create buzz.

But Wu Fangyu didn't want to hype up the relationship between Shizheng and a child who was outside of the 360-line circle. There was absolutely no benefit, and it would only cause unnecessary trouble.

I'm not sure if it was Shizheng's "accomplishment" that had an effect, but when we re-shot in the evening, the result was actually better than before. Even the director's expression improved slightly.

After finishing the shoot, the crew members were busy tidying up the props and wrapping up. That Xiao Baihua is quite thoughtful, even in the remote mountains, she still treated everyone to coffee and cake, showing her appreciation for the crew.

The staff members aren't foolish either. They would put on a pretense, saying things like "It's not a problem, don't bother" while accepting the actress's kind gesture.

The hotel for resting was located at the foot of the mountain. As Shi Zheng got on the car, Wu Fangyu was in the midst of taking out makeup remover wipes when she heard two knocks on the car window.

Sure! Here's the translation: "Sure enough, there was someone who hadn't even removed their makeup or taken down their hair, standing outside the car in a billowing white robe."

Wu Fangyu's brain quickly sprang into action.

Wang Ranran, 20 years old, a sophomore student at the Film Academy. Her parents are outsiders to the industry, but it is rumored that she is dating a wealthy second-generation individual from a real estate company. The resources she has now are said to be provided by that wealthy young man. However, he changes girlfriends faster than he changes sports cars, so they might break up anytime. Nonetheless, at least she has already set foot into the entertainment industry, so it's not a complete waste.

"Teacher Shi, here's your coffee."

When Xiaobaihua smiles, there are dimples at the corners of her mouth, no wonder the media hailed her as the new sweetheart before her debut.

Wu Fangyu scoffed at it, this kind of face can be found in the entertainment industry in large numbers, and it becomes quite repulsive after seeing it too often.

"Thank you."

Shizheng has always had a good temper. This is what Wang Ranran had heard, seen, and felt with his own eyes.

Although she may seem a bit difficult to approach, there is no sense of aloofness about her. She even takes the initiative to personally teach her acting skills.

"You're welcome. Thank you, Teacher Shi, for your guidance this afternoon. I will put in my best effort! I won't hold you back!"

Wang Ran spoke sincerely and earnestly.

"Sure, you have great potential."

Shi Zhen spoke with a hint of indifference.

"Really? I... I actually..."

As an experienced translator, I would render the paragraph in American English as follows: 'Going on like this will never end. Wu Fangyu suppressed his impatience and said with a forced smile, "Sorry, we have something to attend to, so we have to leave. Thank you for the coffee."

Wang Ranran watched as the business car sped away in a gust of dust.

After watching for a while from a short distance, the assistant ran over and said, "Ran Ran, Mr. Qian said he will come to pick you up for dinner tonight."

Wang Ranran suppressed her initial joyous expression and said, "Tell him I'm not feeling well."

"But--"

The assistant nervously held their phone and hesitated to reply.

"You are my assistant, not his dog used to monitor me!"

Wang Ran took his phone and walked back to the car alone.
