After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 374 I met an annoying guy
It has to be said that the duck eggs, which were laid by ducks that grew up swimming, fishing and catching shrimp in the river every day, were delicious. The yolks were all oily and bright orange-red, and the egg whites were not very salty. With the steamed buns, rolls and porridge provided by the crew in the morning, the two of them successfully ate until they were stuffed.

Jiang Hanying's good mood lasted until she entered the film set and met the director.

The scenes she was filming today weren't as enjoyable as the previous two days. They were rather depressing. It was a scene where Li Minghe, who was a lowly palace maid in the previous episodes, was being targeted and bullied by other palace maids and eunuchs in the harem.

The makeup was very simple, and the clothes were just ordinary palace maid outfits. Overall, the look was no different from that of the extras playing palace maids.

However, the costumes provided by the production team were very exquisite. Not only were each of the main actors' outfits specially designed and customized, but even the costumes of the minor actors and extras with only a few scenes were all brand new costumes made specifically for this production. Not a single one was rented.

As soon as they arrived at the dressing room and put their things down, the costume department sent someone to deliver the costumes Jiang Hanying would be wearing today: three brand-new palace maid outfits.

Yes, not one set, but three almost identical sets, the only difference being the color of the collar, used to distinguish different positions in the harem.

According to today's schedule, she was supposed to be rained on, punished, rolled in the mud, and have her clothes torn... In short, she had to film as many scenes as possible of Li Minghe being bullied by the women of the harem.

After these palace maid outfits are filmed, they'll probably be unusable; they're definitely disposable.

I had just changed into my first outfit when the director came to call me right on time.

When she arrived, she discovered that she wasn't the first one there; an actor dressed in a dark blue bodyguard uniform was already standing in front of the director.

The woman initially had her back to him, but when the director looked at her and waved, he said, "Han Ying is here."

The other person then turned their head slightly to the side to look over.

Jiang Hanying's initially good mood immediately soured after she saw the face of the actor playing the guard.

"The ghost lingers!"

Lin An listened without changing his expression and nodded politely, "Teacher Jiang, please give me your guidance."

Jiang Hanying simply replied with a "hehe"!
The director looked at this person and then at that person, asking, "Did you know each other before?"

Lin An nodded. "We've met a few times."

Jiang Hanying didn't want to answer the question at all, and only frowned and asked, "Which role is he playing today?"

"Mo Huaifeng".

Although she had a feeling about the role this person was going to play when she saw that dark blue guard uniform.

But now that she has received a positive answer from the director, Jiang Hanying feels even more upset!
It's disgusting!
Mo Huaifeng is not a very important character in the whole series; he probably wouldn't even be considered the tenth male lead.

But for Lee Myung-ha, this role was a rare ray of sunshine during her dark time in the harem.

Later, he willingly allowed himself to be used by Li Minghe and bravely faced death.

It's said that the young prince, played by Wen Song, admired Li Minghe because of the rescue he orchestrated. After being rejected when he proposed to take her as a concubine, he was still unwilling to give up and repeatedly expressed his feelings later, but only made Li Minghe more disgusted with him.

So, Mo Huaifeng, who silently protected Li Minghe in the early stages and later died for Li Minghe and left the show in a hurry, still left a trace in Li Minghe's heart as he was gradually being corrupted by power.

Jiang Hanying didn't care who played the role of Mo Huaifeng; it was just filming, and they would part ways after filming was over.

But if such an annoying guy is to play Mo Huaifeng, "can't we replace him?"

director:"……"

Even if Duanmu Rongrong or Yuan Chaoyu were here, they wouldn't ask the director in front of the actors if they could just replace them.

"Hanying, come here."

He gestured for us to go aside and talk alone.

Jiang Hanying rolled her eyes at Lin An before following him.

After walking a distance, the director stopped and turned back to look at the little girl in front of him, whose face was full of displeasure.

"You have a conflict with Lin Mu?" "Lin Mu?" Jiang Hanying was stunned for a moment before realizing that the director was talking about the guy from earlier. She nodded emphatically, "Yes."

It's not small!
The director found it unbelievable: "You don't even know their names, so where does this contradiction come from?"

"If a conflict occurs in public, do I really need to know his name?"

Director: "...That's unnecessary to know. Never mind, I won't ask you what specific conflict happened between you and Lin Mu, but I have to make it clear to you about the replacement this time, you really can't replace him."

He paused, then said with a hint of helplessness, "I only explained a little more because of you. Lin Mu was actually sent in by Qingli Entertainment. That CEO Li even gave me a special call on his behalf. I figured it wasn't a very important role, so I just agreed. Just bear with it for now. It'll only be about a week before his scenes are finished."

Pei Yuan was the first to notice that Jiang Hanying seemed a bit down after returning from the director's office. "Sis, what's making you unhappy?"

"I just met someone I dislike."

"Huh?" Pei Yuan couldn't help but open her mouth wide, very curious. "Who is it?"

After all, even someone like Xin Linglong, who was provocative from the very first meeting and had a pretentious nature, was only found annoying by Sister Hanying.

There are actually people in the film crew that Han Ying can dislike?

Jiang Hanying pointed to one of the figures who had already begun rehearsing in the open space ahead.

This man was quite perceptive; as soon as Jiang Hanying put her hand down, he turned around and looked over.

Pei Yuan's first thought upon looking at him was: "This little guard is quite handsome!"

He had barely finished speaking when Jiang Hanying glared at him.

Pei Yuan shrank her neck: "I take back what I just said. Looking closely, she's just average-looking."

A second glance: "Hmm, he looks kind of familiar."

When the other person drew the prop sword from their waist, the posture and movement made one think, "Wait, isn't that...?"

"Sister," Pei Yuan covered her mouth, lowered her voice, and leaned close to Jiang Hanying's ear, "Isn't this person from Lan Palace? Why is he acting in our film crew again?"

"Because he's like a brick."

"what?"

"Move wherever needed."

Previously, her role in Lan Palace was to perform sword dances in front of her, but this time she came to the film set specifically to annoy her. Her intuition told her that it wasn't just to spite her.

So what exactly is this guy's ulterior motive?

Regardless of the purpose, with her around, this person can forget about getting things done smoothly.

This is the price you pay for going up to her and annoying her!

The weather forecast says there will be moderate rain today.

The morning was sunny, but by midday the sun had disappeared behind the clouds, and the sky had darkened considerably. It looked like a heavy rain was brewing and about to fall.

The entire set was waiting for this moment.

Noticing raindrops falling on his face, the director quickly looked away from the sky, grabbed the megaphone beside him without bothering to wipe the rain off his face, and shouted, "All groups, get ready! Actors, get into position quickly!"

In the film crew's footage, the later villainous boss, Li Minghe, is just a lowly palace maid in the laundry department, thrown into the lowest level of the harem by a concubine who is wary of her appearance, after some underhanded manipulation.

Even in the laundry department, her face was a clear target.

People were jealous of her, stayed away from her, and some even tried to trample her into the mud, hoping that she would never be able to make a comeback because of her face.

Right now, a torrential downpour is about to hit, which, in the eyes of those with ulterior motives, is a perfect opportunity!
