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

Chapter 377 What's there to be ashamed of? Someone's chasing a monkey.
After barely managing to finish rehearsing the lines, it was time to officially begin filming.

The director cleared the room before filming to prevent the actors from being too relaxed.

Only a few members of the photography crew remained on site.

But they still had to do two takes as soon as filming started.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Jiang..."

"I'm sorry, director..."

The director was at a loss.

When filming these kinds of scenes, actresses are usually quite reserved and can't fully express themselves.

This time, it's the male actor who's become the one who can't let go and act freely.

He looked at the male actor who was somewhat at a loss because of his own mistakes in making two takes. He was supposed to be a strong, assertive young man, but now he had turned into an innocent, adorable puppy.

"Ye Heng, right? If you really can't do the movements like I demonstrated with the action director, then I'll be more lenient with you. You can tighten them up a bit, but your biggest problem is still your eyes. At this stage, the way you look at Li Minghe must have a bit of possessiveness and dominance in your eyes, not stars in them, understand? That's the kind of look you'll have later when Li Minghe has you wrapped around his little finger!"

Ye Heng blushed as he was told this, and nodded stammering, "I...I understand, Director. I'll change it right away."

Jiang Hanying was getting a little impatient at this point.

Including the previous rehearsal, this was the third take already and it still wasn't good. She's never been very patient, and this time the look she gave her co-star was rather unfriendly, as if to say, "Try causing another NG and I'll make you regret it."

Ye Heng couldn't help but shrink his neck under her gaze, feeling a chill in his body.

He was initially very excited to audition for a role that would allow him to act opposite his idol, even though the role was just a eunuch. The day before, he even went to his homepage to post an update saying that he would be acting opposite his favorite actor the next day.

Who knew that when we actually met face to face, I was completely at a loss!
He himself didn't expect to be so nervous!

"Teacher Jiang, um, I..."

"Stop, I don't want to hear you apologize anymore," she said, her ears already tired of hearing it. She was even more blunt than the director. "Just think of yourself as Changde and me as Li Minghe. Don't think about anything else. Just act it out. Is that so hard? If you still can't do it, then you might as well leave. Don't waste my time. I might have already finished acting without any props by now."

Ye Heng's face immediately turned redder; these words were even more impolite than what the director had said.

But it really worked. After the heat on his face subsided, Ye Heng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened them a moment later.

Jiang Hanying met his gaze and said, "Hurry up and take the picture!"

director:"……"

He's even in charge of directing them!
Fortunately, the fixed cameras were always on, and there were only two moving cameras. After Jiang Hanying reminded them, they reacted quickly and started filming.

This one shot lasted for almost ten minutes straight.

"Okay, passed!"

Ye Heng immediately released Jiang Hanying's wrist as if he had been electrocuted, and took three steps back before stopping. "Teacher Jiang, I'm sorry."

Jiang Hanying adjusted her collar, which had been slightly loosened during the earlier tug-of-war, noticed the red marks on her wrist, stood up and looked over, "You've trained before?"

"Huh? Yeah," Ye Heng nodded honestly, "I was too naughty when I was little, so my family sent me to Shaolin Temple for a few years. I came back later to go to school, but I still go back every winter and summer vacation."

"No wonder."

She had a strong grip, and she could tell from the moment she hit him that he had already restrained his strength.

As Jiang Hanying spoke, she walked to the director's side and looked at the monitor.

Ye Heng paused for a moment, then silently followed, but stood on the other side of the director.

He also wanted to see how his performance would turn out.

The director showed them the film again carefully to see if there was anything that needed to be filled in.

After watching, he first nodded to Ye Heng with satisfaction, "Ye Heng is in good condition this time. The effect of the filming is even better than I expected. It seems that what Han Ying said was more useful than mine."

Ye Heng glanced quickly at Jiang Hanying, nodded, and gave a soft "hmm".

He was genuinely frightened by Jiang Hanying's sharp words and attitude, which led to his desperate attempt to succeed, fearing that another mistake would result in his idol kicking him out.

After praising Ye Heng, the director turned to Jiang Hanying and said the same thing: "Hanying, you really don't seem to have any bottlenecks at all. You've all worked hard, take a break and let the others come in."

Upon receiving permission to enter, Pei Yuan was the first to rush into the venue. Her eyes immediately fell on Jiang Hanying, and she quickly walked over and draped a shawl she had prepared in advance over Jiang Hanying's wrist. Then she noticed that Jiang Hanying's wrist was still a little red.

"sister?"

Jiang Hanying waved her hand dismissively, saying, "It's nothing."

Even so, Pei Yuan still glared at the culprit in what she thought was a fierce look.

Ye Heng, who was being glared at: "..."

I wasn't hated by my idol, but I was hated by his assistant first! My feelings are complicated.

Lin An, who returned to the film set with the others, also had mixed feelings.

Because of his height, even if he was standing at the very back, he could still see Jiang Hanying standing in the center of the crowd.

She wore a plain-colored shawl over her palace maid's uniform, and her hair was still a bit messy, a different kind of disheveled look from when she was filming the rain-punishment scene that morning.

But just by looking at those bright eyes, it's easy to separate her from her real life on and off screen, and the separation is very thorough.

Off-screen, she is Jiang Hanying; on-screen, she is Li Minghe.

It's really easy to act opposite someone like that; you're instantly drawn into the scene without even realizing it!

Just like that scene this morning...

*
Because today's scenes were quite demanding and put a lot of pressure on the actors, Jiang Hanying only had three scenes scheduled for the entire day.

After filming, they rested on set for a while. Once Pei Yuan confirmed with the director that she could leave, she took Pei Yuan back to the hotel.

After removing my hair and makeup, I got back to my room before 5 p.m., and the sun hadn't even set yet.

Pei Yuan put down her bag, glanced at the time, and suggested, "Sis, why don't you take a shower and rest in bed for a while? I'll call you when it's time for dinner."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the person walked up to the refrigerator, opened the door, and took out a bag of frozen ducks from the freezer.

"Pei Yuan, shall we cook a duck?"

This is something I really can't let go of!

"There is an induction cooker in this kitchen, but I haven't had time to buy a pot yet."

"Let's go buy it now, the supermarket isn't far away."

Pei Yuan: "..."

Their drive to act is truly remarkable.

So, less than ten minutes after returning home, Pei Yuan soaked the chopped duck meat and then went out again to buy a pot.

Jiang Hanying took a shower while she went to buy a pot.

After buying the pot and watching Pei Yuan successfully stew the duck, he returned to his bedroom satisfied and prepared to rest for a while.

To ensure the meat is well-seasoned, it needs to be stewed for at least one or two hours.

Just thinking about waking up to tender, flavorful stewed duck meat and delicious old duck soup is simply wonderful!

Just as she was about to fall asleep, a strange noise suddenly came from the balcony window connected to the bedroom.

Jiang Hanying immediately performed a feat of opening her eyes in a second, getting out of bed in a second, and walking to the balcony window in a few steps, pulling open the curtains.

He immediately made eye contact with someone who was squatting outside the window, desperately trying to pry open the window.

The other party stopped trying to pry it open and started knocking on the window: "Bang bang bang!"

Jiang Hanying, suppressing her anger at being woken up just as she was about to fall asleep, yanked open the window. Before the dog even landed, she grabbed its neck and shook it, saying, "Can't you be a little quieter?"

The person was initially dizzy from being shaken, but after hearing these words, they almost felt wronged to death.

It's been careful enough!
How can I blame you for having such sharp hearing? You can hear such a small sound!
Wait, there's something even more important!

"Ah, ah..."

Ugh, what a foul mouth!

This was the first time Jiang Hanying had heard the little monkey make a sound, and she immediately understood why it hadn't made a sound before.

That soft, weak, childlike voice... has negative deterrent power!

"What do you want to say?"

One of them kept its mouth tightly shut, pointed out the window, and then pointed to its own head.

After doing the movement twice, Jiang Hanying finally understood it.

"Are you saying someone is pursuing you?"

"what."

Jiang Hanying quickly stuck her head out of the window and looked down.

All I could see was a black silhouette disappearing around the corner.
