Chapter 7, to hell with "The Chronicles of the Seven Kingdoms" ! (3)

Wen Zhe then stopped, released his hand, and looked at her, "Would you like to join us for a late-night snack?"

Jiang Youyi smiled, revealing a pair of adorable dimples. "My film starts shooting the day after tomorrow; I just arrived this morning. That..." She showed a somewhat shy smile. "I really apologize for what I said during the audition; I watched the MV, and you performed exceptionally well"

Of course, Jia Yu, you should go change your clothes quickly. Once you are done, we will go out for a late-night snack

Wang Jiayu shook her head, "Although I say this, I still feel sorry for her. I... I don't want to be disliked by others"

Wang Jiayu was suddenly taken aback. She had already felt somewhat guilty for inadvertently taking Jiang Youyi's role, and now Jiang Youyi had even taken the initiative to apologize to her... "No, no, it should be me who apologizes to you."

This establishment is a frequent haunt for celebrities, and the owner only recognizes familiar faces, thus not allowing access to those who are not well-known. As a result, although there is merely a screen separating the neighboring tables, everyone feels quite at ease.

Wen Zhe smiled and said, "I have watched the MV of 'Long Summer Rain', and you performed very well in it. I actually do not understand why you are not performing well in this role now"

In ancient times, Kong Rong gave up a pear, and now, You Yi gives up shrimp. Wang Jiayu's fondness for Jiang Youyi has risen another level, and now Jiang Youyi's exposed cleavage seems less bothersome.

"Wen Ge, what do you need from me?" Wang Jiayu's costume was very cumbersome; she held Wen Zhe's hand with one hand and could only hold the hem of her dress with the other, nearly tripping several times.

Saying this, without waiting for Jiang Youyi to react, he grabbed Wang Jiayu's arm and pulled her out of the lounge

Wang Jiayu did not dare to indulge herself and only ordered pan-fried buns and congee. In contrast, Jiang Youyi and her friends all ordered barbecue, which made Wang Jiayu feel completely out of place and unconsciously tense up

Wen Zhe smiled and said, "You have a good relationship with Jiang Youyi?"

Jiang Youyi looked up and immediately revealed a radiant smile, "Have you finished shooting, Jiayu? Would you like to go for a late-night snack?"

After a brief commotion, everyone resumed eating. Wang Jiayu was quietly eating steamed buns and drinking porridge, completely bewildered by the discussions among Jiang Youyi and the others about topics such as "ordering takeout," "supercars," and "parties".

Wang Jiayu carefully pondered Wen Zhe's words, appearing to be deep in thought

Before she could figure out the reason behind it, the two boys who had gathered together had already separated. One of them looked at Wang Jiayu with sparkling eyes and said, "Come over and take a picture with me"

Wang Jiayu focused her gaze and discovered it was Wen Zhe, "Brother Wen..."

However, it turns out that she is indeed quite naive. While she was completely absorbed in her meal, a large glass of beer was pushed in front of her. Behind the beer glass was Jiang Youyi's sweet smile and a hint of her cleavage. "Jiayu, let's have a drink to celebrate our reconciliation."

The boxed meals provided by the crew contain no oil or moisture at all, and she wakes up hungry in the middle of the night each time, tossing and turning while thinking about those delicacies, feeling increasingly as if her front is pressed against her back.

After a short while without eating, it was observed that Jiang Youyi was already sitting on a man's lap, taking out her phone encased in a flashy phone cover to start taking selfies. Meanwhile, the other two boys leaned in together, also taking intimate selfies.

Wang Jiayu was moved to tears, realizing that she had indeed wronged Jiang Youyi before. Anyone would be angry if their job was taken away, especially by a newcomer who suddenly appeared like her. She quickly shook hands with Jiang Youyi, saying, "Yes, yes, I look forward to your guidance"

I never expected to face such a scene, Wang Jiayu looked at the sweatshirt and jeans she was wearing, and suddenly felt like a country bumpkin.

Happiness has come too suddenly, as Wang Jiayu nibbles on shrimp while envisioning a bright future ahead

She contentedly set down the script, stretched lazily, and collapsed onto the bed

However, she is not concerned about these matters; for her, having eaten this plate of pan-fried buns is sufficient to ensure that in her next life, she will not have to film the Seven Nations Chronicle!

I will go to the restroom first, please wait for me a moment

"Brother Wen, can I go with you tomorrow?" Wang Jiayu asked cautiously

... who will tell her what kind of scene this is, and why she suddenly feels that her intelligence is completely insufficient

CUT! The director shouted with satisfaction, "This take is good, let's have dinner first, and after we finish eating, we will continue filming"

"Can we go for a late-night snack?" Since Wang Jiayu joined the crew, she has been staying in the hotel every night, reading books, scripts, and watching television, and she has never heard of the concept of having a late-night snack.

Wang Jiayu seemed oblivious, continuing to ponder this question. When she began to read it for the third time, she suddenly had a moment of clarity

Wen Zhe looked at her deeply and said, "... you are still a newcomer, but Jiang Youyi has been through the grind for two years; she is not as simple as you think"

When He and Jiang Youyi arrived at the dining place, they discovered that there were six other people, three men and three women, all with sharp faces and sparkling big eyes. The women revealed half of their cleavage, while the men wore trendy brand clothes that Wang Jiayu could not comprehend

Uh, I have already agreed to Yi.

For example, your character, Mu Jingshu, states earlier that Jiang Chuyun is more important than the country, yet at a critical moment, she sacrifices herself for the nation. Do you notice the contradictions in her words and actions? Do you understand why she behaves in such a contradictory manner? Grasping this point will help you understand the character of Mu Jingshu. " Wen Zhe chuckled self-deprecatingly, "In the entire 'Chronicles of the Seven Kingdoms', your character is the only one whose values are somewhat upright."

Oh, really! Thank you!

However, she... she took the initiative to help serve water, even offering up the shrimp, and her attitude was so friendly

Wen Zhe glanced at the cup in his hand, revealing a somewhat awkward smile. He placed the cup on the table and looked at Jiang Youyi, saying, "I need to have a word with Jiayu."

Wang Jiayu displayed a troubled expression; if it were not for Wen Zhe's guidance, she truly would not have been able to perform so well today. However, she had finally managed to resolve her past grievances with Jiang Youyi.

Let us not apologize to each other anymore—let's just get along well from now on—" she said, extending her hand

I am guiding you in filming, shouldn't you agree to me first?

The entertainment industry fundamentally relies on connections and abilities; by taking her role, it indicates that you are more capable than she is

In the land of Izumo, although the Mu Kingdom is significant, you are even more so than the Mu Kingdom. I am willing to exchange the vastness of the kingdom for your lifetime of peace. As you head towards the border, the road is arduous and long, and the future is uncertain. I hope you take care. Jing Shu prays for you day and night in the Jinghua Palace.

So that's how it is!

Wang Jiayu did not expect Jiang Youyi to take the initiative to be friendly, and was momentarily taken aback. Feeling somewhat thirsty, she took the bottle, opened it, and drank several large gulps. "Thank you, I didn't realize you were also in the crew."

Wang Jiayu was very satisfied with her performance. As she turned her head, she saw Wen Zhe giving her a thumbs up in the crowd, and she immediately smiled broadly.

After Wang Jiayu returned to the hotel, she read the script several more times. The actor sharing the same room woke up and found her still reading the script, muttering to herself, "She's gone mad".

Is it true that having late-night snacks is a traditional practice for this production team? Why is she the only one kept in the dark about it

Wang Jiayu, however, did not pay attention to this statement; her focus had been entirely captivated by the contradiction raised earlier by Wen Zhe

Why does Mu Jingshu behave in a manner that contradicts her words

When one encounters joyful events, the spirit is uplifted, and even the lunch boxes of the crew appear more delightful than yesterday! Although there are no fried eggs today, there surprisingly are crab, seaweed, and shrimp!

The next day, Wang Jiayu indeed seemed like a different person; she no longer trembled in the face of Ye Feng's gaze and could automatically ignore the director's cold stare.

Jiang Youyi received a lunch box and sat next to Wang Jiayu. "Oh, Jiayu, do you like shrimp? I happen to not like it, so I can give you all my shrimp"

Never before had she been cared for so attentively. Just as Wang Jiayu was about to take the cup, someone suddenly dashed in from the doorway and snatched the cup from her hand

Wang Jiayu was taken aback for a moment, then slowly went back to change her clothes. After changing, she called Jiang Youyi and arranged a meeting place with her

Mu Jingshu looked up at Jiang Chuyun, her gaze as serene and gentle as the moonlight on water

I... I do not like taking photos. Wang Jiayu revealed a stiff smile

After Wang Jiayu came out of the restroom, Jiang Youyi thoughtfully handed over a glass of water, "You must be very thirsty after finishing filming just now"

As long as one thoroughly understands the character's personality, their actions and dialogue will naturally reflect the character's traits; making too many assumptions will instead constrain your performance

When the flash went off, Wang Jiayu instinctively raised her arm to shield her face. Jiang Youyi looked at the ruined photo and clicked her tongue, choosing to forgo posting on Weibo.

"Don't be shy, Jiayu—" Jiang Youyi quickly sat down beside her, wrapped her arms around her, and opened the camera on her phone

She does not blame me for taking her role, and I feel happy

After finishing her scenes today, Wang Jiayu walked towards the public lounge while holding her dress. Upon entering, she noticed Jiang Youyi sitting on the sofa playing with her phone, so she took the initiative to greet her, "Youyi."

The scene filmed in the evening features Mu Jingzhu advising the monarch of the Mu Kingdom. In this scene, Wang Jiayu also delivers a remarkable performance, embodying the frustration of seeing potential wasted, the despair of feeling powerless, as well as the concern for the future of the Mu Kingdom and the worry for Jiang Chuyun, all expressed vividly in her every gesture and movement

At that moment, the stage manager called for Wenzhe. He responded and greeted Wang Jiayu, only to find that she was completely immersed in her own world. He smiled and decided not to disturb her further

The six little fairies seemed unconcerned, warmly inviting Wang Jiayu to sit down and presenting the menu in front of her

"Jia Yu, you performed really well!" A delicate voice suddenly rang out. Wang Jia Yu turned towards the sound and discovered that it was actually Jiang You Yi.

"Do not think that I am being conspiratorial; in any case, it is best for you to remain vigilant." With that, Wen Zhe turned and left.

Wang Jiayu opened her mouth but ultimately decided not to tell Wen Zhe that while filming the MV, she was constantly thinking about twice-cooked pork

Jiang Chuyun knelt on one knee, gently taking Mu Jingshu's hand, "Chuyun will surely protect the integrity of the Mu nation's mountains and rivers, allowing the princess to live without worry for a lifetime"

Jiang Youyi handed over a bottle of water, saying, "Thank you for your hard work"
