Huayu Entertainment: It was the young actress who took the initiative.

The next morning, Chen Mo, Wang Yanlin, and Deng Lun went to the film crew's dressing room to take their costume photos.

The film studio rented by the crew was not far from the hotel, just a ten-minute walk away.

When the three arrived, the dressing room was already bustling with activity.

Stylists and makeup artists moved back and forth, and the clothes racks were full of various ancient costumes.

Li Lin had arrived and was sitting in front of the vanity mirror with her eyes closed, resting.

She looked a little tired, with faint dark circles under her eyes.

"Sister Han."

Chen Mo greeted him.

Li Qin opened her eyes, saw it was him, and gave a gentle smile:

"Chen Mo, good morning. You're here."

"Didn't you get enough rest last night, Sister Lin?"

"Yeah, I arrived at the hotel late last night and got up at five this morning."

Li Qin rubbed his temples. "Princess Yuan Chun's makeup and styling are quite complicated. Just the hairstyling alone takes more than an hour."

As they were talking, the makeup artist began applying her makeup.

First, I applied a thick layer of foundation to my face, then I started drawing my eyebrows and eyeliner, and finally my lips.

The whole process is meticulous and tedious.

Chen Mo and the other two were also assigned to their respective makeup stations.

Yan Xun's appearance can be divided into early and late stages.

During his early years as crown prince, he wore brocade robes and had his hair tied up with a jade crown.

After his transformation into a villain, he wears dark, fitted clothing, his hair is half-down, and his eyes are sharp.

As the makeup artist did Chen Mo's hair, she exclaimed:

"Teacher Chen Mo looks so perfect for period dramas!"

"Thanks."

Looking at himself in the mirror, Chen Mo, dressed in a purple-gold brocade robe and a white jade hair ornament, did indeed possess some of the noble air of the Prince of Yanbei.

After the makeup and costumes were completed, the lead actors arrived at the studio one after another.

Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin arrived one after the other.

Zhao Liying was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, with her hair tied in a bun. She was without makeup, but her skin looked great.

Lin Gengxin, on the other hand, was dressed in a black casual outfit, and he was tall with long legs.

"Hello, teachers."

Zhao Liying greeted the staff politely, her voice clear and crisp.

"Hello, Sister Liying."

Chen Mo and the others responded one after another.

Zhao Liying's gaze lingered on Chen Mo for a few seconds, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes:

"Are you Chen Mo? The one who plays Yan Xun?"

"Yes, Ms. Liying."

"Just call me Liying."

She smiled, very approachable: "We have quite a few scenes together, I look forward to working together."

"Thank you, I'm looking forward to it too."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the filming began.

First up are individual promotional photos.

Chen Mo stood in front of the green screen, posing in various ways as instructed by the photographer.

Some stand holding swords, some gaze into the distance with their hands behind their backs, and some look back and stare intently.

The light shone on him, making his purple and gold brocade robe gleam faintly.

[Host detected communicating with celebrity Zhao Liying]

[You have one chance to draw a keyword. Do you want to draw now?]

A system notification suddenly sounded.

Chen Mo silently recited in his mind: "Extract."

The light screen scrolls.

[Successful extraction! Obtained intermediate-level keyword: Emotional Contagion]

[Effect of this entry: It can subtly amplify the emotional perception of fellow actors, making it easier for them to get into character and improving the quality of their scenes together.]

This is a good entry. If you can help your co-stars get into character better during filming, it will improve the overall effect of the scene.

After individual photos were taken, group photos were taken.

Zhao Liying has already changed into Chu Qiao's look.

He was dressed in a sharp black outfit, his hair was tied up high, and his eyes and brows exuded a heroic air.

She and Lin Gengxin stood together, one dashing and heroic, the other calm and aloof, they had a great sense of being a couple.

Next is a photo of Chen Mo and Li Lin.

Princess Yuan Chun's early costumes were gorgeous and elaborate, featuring pink palace attire, pearl hairpins, and exquisite makeup.

She stood beside Chen Mo, one bright and charming, the other gentle and refined. When they smiled at each other, there was indeed a sense of destiny between them, like childhood sweethearts.

The photographer kept pressing the shutter:

"Okay! Chen Mo, look down at Sister Qin with even gentler eyes... Yes!"

Sister Lin smiled...perfect!

The two changed positions several times: sometimes they stood side by side, sometimes Li Qin looked up at Chen Mo, and sometimes Chen Mo put a flower in Li Qin's hair.

Each photo captures a different atmosphere.

"You two are such a handsome couple, it's a feast for the eyes."

After the filming was finished, Wang Yanlin leaned over and whispered something.

Chen Mo smiled but didn't reply.

The photoshoot lasted until noon.

After the event, the crew provided boxed lunches, and everyone had a simple lunch in the studio.

At 2 PM, the script reading began in the conference room on the third floor.

At the long table, director Wu Jinyuan sat in the main seat, with the screenwriter and producer on either side.

The lead actors took their seats in turn.

Zhao Liying, Lin Gengxin, Chen Mo, Li Lin, Wang Yanlin, Deng Lun, and several other important supporting actors.

"Welcome, everyone, to 'Princess Agents'."

Director Wu Jinyuan began, "In the coming months, we will work together to present this story to the audience."

Today's reading is mainly to familiarize everyone with the script, understand the characters, and also to get to know each other.

The reading session will begin with the first episode.

Zhao Liying has excellent delivery of lines; her voice is clear and powerful, perfectly capturing Chu Qiao's resilience and wisdom.

Lin Gengxin portrays Yuwen Yue as calm and reserved.

When it was Chen Mo's turn, he took a deep breath and began reciting Yan Xun's lines.

"Miss Chu Qiao, this hunting ground is dangerous. Let me take you back."

His voice was clear and gentle, carrying the refinement and goodwill of a young master from a prominent family.

When he read the scenes after the Nine Nether Platform, his voice became hoarse and suppressed, each word seeming to be squeezed out of his throat:

"From this day forward, I, Yan Xun... will never share the same sky with the State of Wei!"

The suppressed hatred and despair silenced everyone in the conference room for a few seconds.

Zhao Liying looked up at Chen Mo, her eyes filled with surprise.

During breaks in the reading, everyone shared their understanding of the characters.

The term "emotional contagion" subtly takes effect during communication.

Chen Mo could sense that when he revealed Yan Xun's inner struggles, Zhao Liying seemed to understand Yan Xun's complex emotions more deeply.

The reading session lasted for more than three hours, and it ended close to six o'clock.

That's all for today.

Director Wu Jinyuan closed the script. "We'll continue tomorrow. Everyone go back and get some rest, and prepare for the opening ceremony tomorrow morning."

Everyone left the meeting room one after another.

Chen Mo returned to his hotel room and had just taken off his coat when he received a message.

It was a WeChat message from Jing Tian, ​​containing a screenshot of her Moments.

It was the same post that Gulnazar made yesterday:

"I met a super nice guy at the gym today who taught me how to use the machines~ [smirk]"

The accompanying image shows the equipment and Chen Mo's blurry back view.

Jing Tian asked, "Is that your back view...?"

Chen Mo laughed and replied, "Yes, you have a pretty sharp eye."

"It really is you! Why didn't you call me when you went to the gym? [Sad]"

"You went there on a whim. Are you still in Hengdian?"

"Yeah, I'm still staying a while. Are you free tomorrow afternoon? Want to go to the gym together?"

Chen Mo thought about it and realized he didn't have any plans for tomorrow afternoon.

"Okay, what time?"

"Two o'clock? I know a good gym."

"Okay, send me the address."

Soon, Jing Tian sent a location, not far from the hotel where Chen Mo was staying.

"It's a deal then, see you tomorrow! [hehe]"

Chen Mo put down his phone and walked to the window.

Outside the window, Hengdian is brightly lit at night.

The costume photos have been taken, the script reading is over, and the opening ceremony will be tomorrow morning.

Everything is proceeding as planned.
