Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

Su Wuli followed her gaze and saw that Bai Xixi's eyelashes were curled very high and her lips were painted with a watery red lip gloss.

He looked up at Su Wuli, smiled, and then lowered his head again.

Chen Jiaen held her cup, her gaze sweeping over Su Wuli's face.

He was moving slowly and deliberately, as if he were observing something.

Shen Yanyang sat next to the director, talking to the person next to him, occasionally nodding and occasionally smiling.

Bai Xixi put down her phone and turned to look at Su Wuli.

"Teacher Su looks great lately, her skin is so fair."

She spoke with the corners of her mouth turned up, looking very sincere.

Chen Jiaen put down her cup and chimed in, "That's right, it makes all the difference when you're rosy-cheeked, your complexion looks so much better."

She smiled after she finished speaking, "I guess this is what they mean by 'good fortune nourishes the body'?"

Su Wuli smiled and said, "I've been sleeping more lately, so my complexion looks better."

Bai Xixi glanced at her, a smile still playing on her lips, but said nothing more.

Dishes were served one after another, and the rotating tray spun round and round.

Some people served food, some offered toasts, and some walked over with their wine glasses to clink glasses with the director.

Someone was bending over and talking to the producer.

Jiang Yuchuan took a sip of water, leaned back in his chair, and slowly began to speak.

"By the way, I feel that war scene was missing something. What are your thoughts?"

He glanced at Lu Ting, then at Lin Haoshen, his gaze lingering on Su Wuli's face.

Lu Ting put down his chopsticks and sat down a little further forward.

He is a young male actor with handsome features and is currently very popular.

She has acted in several period dramas, has quite a few fans, and her acting skills are decent but not particularly amazing.

"Director Jiang, I think this scene needs to be powerful and imposing. The general should be riding a horse at the very front, which would be very impressive."

He gestured with his hand, "A thousand troops behind you, horns blaring, that's what you call spectacular."

Jiang Yuchuan listened without nodding or shaking his head.

Lin Haoshen, who was standing to the side, put down his teacup and cleared his throat.

He is in his forties this year and has played many supporting roles, mostly powerful ministers and strategists.

It has a good reputation in the industry, but its popularity is only average.

"While momentum is important, the core of war scenes is rhythm. The shots need to be fast and the editing needs to be fragmented to keep the audience breathless; that's what makes it real."

As he spoke, he reached out and made a cutting motion in the air, "like cutting meat piece by piece."

Lu Ting glanced at him, his lips twitched slightly, but he didn't reply.

Su Wuli listened attentively, her brows slightly furrowed.

After they finished speaking, he finally put down his chopsticks and swallowed what was in his mouth.

He looked up at Jiang Yuchuan and said, "The archers' formation is not quite right."

She paused and continued, "According to the script, they were behind the infantry, and their firing range couldn't reach the enemy's front ranks, so they should have been pushed forward and placed on the flanks."

She spoke softly, but there was an eerie silence on the table for a moment.

Lu Ting glanced at her and smiled. "Wu Li, you're a girl, you wouldn't understand war."

He deliberately emphasized the word "girl" less, saying, "Just take those research posts online with a grain of salt."

Wen Yu, who was next to him, nodded in agreement.

Wen Yu is also vying for the male lead role; he's a popular actor with a wide range of roles.

She has acted in both period dramas and modern dramas, has a large and dedicated fanbase, and her acting skills are sufficient.

"Yes, Teacher Su is so beautiful, she just needs to focus on the emotional scenes, and we'll handle the fighting scenes."

As he spoke, he raised his glass to Su Wuli, and the wine swirled in the glass.

Su Wuli didn't pick up the cup. He smiled and didn't seem to think anything of it, and drank it himself.

Lin Haoshen leaned back in his chair, twirling his teacup in his hand. "Girls have different priorities, that's understandable."

He paused, his tone like he was coaxing a child, "But we men do understand things on the battlefield better."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Ting, who nodded in agreement, and the two exchanged a look.

The glance was brief, but everyone at the table saw it.

Su Wuli looked at Lu Ting for two seconds, then at Lin Haoshen, and then at Wen Yu.

Bai Xixi put down her phone and gently twirled her fingertip on the table.

"Professor Su, have you been reading a lot of military materials lately?"

She turned her head to look at Su Wuli, a smile playing on her lips.

The smile didn't reach his eyes. "You're really dedicated. While we're still looking at the script, Professor Su is already studying military strategy."

She spoke in a light, airy tone, as if she were praising someone, yet not quite.

Chen Jiaen held the teacup, stirred the tea foam with the lid a couple of times, took a sip, and slowly put it down.

"Teacher Su is young and energetic, and wants to get involved in everything. If she takes on this role, with its love scenes, battle scenes, and the need to discuss tactics with the male actors, she might be too busy to handle it all."

She paused, then turned the teacup around.

"Director Jiang, don't let her lead you astray. The core of our film is the female lead's growth, not military science education."

Jiang Yuchuan listened, his fingers still tapping on the table, without saying a word.

Bai Xixi also turned to look at Jiang Yuchuan, her voice not loud but every word was clear.

"I think Professor Su's suggestions can be taken as a reference, but they shouldn't be taken too seriously."

The corners of her mouth were still slightly upturned.

"The script is the culmination of a year's hard work by the screenwriter, with every scene meticulously crafted. If Teacher Su can spot problems after just a few days, then all the screenwriter's efforts over the past year have been wasted?"

After she finished speaking, she picked up her water glass, took a sip, and glanced at Su Wuli as she put the glass down.

His gaze swept over her from top to bottom.

Chen Jiaen placed her hand on the edge of the table and replied, "Teacher Su is still young and inexperienced. She has good intentions, but everyone has their own area of ​​expertise."

She implied, "We don't understand what happens on the battlefield, and the director and screenwriter may not understand everything either, but they do research and consult experts."

She said pointedly, "Teacher Su just glanced at a few posts and started giving her opinions. What if she's wrong and misleads everyone, delaying the filming schedule? Who will take responsibility for that?"

She smiled after she finished speaking.

Bai Xixi lowered her head, swiped her finger across the screen twice, and smiled slightly.

Lu Ting put his wine glass on the table and agreed, "Jia En is right."

He turned his head to look at Su Wuli, a smile on his lips, a smile that seemed to be pasted onto his face.

"Wu Li, look, the female lead in this script spends most of her time in the inner quarters and doesn't show her face on the battlefield very often."

His words were somewhat flippant: "Actresses should focus more on studying the power struggles within the inner palace. Those palace intrigue and domestic dramas can be very impressive if acted well."

Wen Yu nodded in agreement, picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks, and put it in his mouth.

"Yes, Teacher Su's strength lies in emotional scenes, while the male actors will handle the action scenes."

He smiled and raised his glass towards Su Wuli.

"If you're interested in war dramas, come watch us filming on set when it starts. I guarantee you'll learn something."

After he finished speaking, he drank the wine and glanced at Lu Ting as he put down the glass.

The two looked at each other and smiled.
