Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

On the morning of February 22, Fu Yibai was reviewing the preparation progress report for "Si Teng" in his office.

The art department has already scouted out the filming locations in Yunnan, and has developed detailed shooting plans for Napa Lake in Shangri-La, Pudacuo National Park, and several primeval forests around Songzanlin Monastery.

On the costume team's side, Sister Qin had already made all thirty-two sample qipaos for Si Teng and sent the photos to Fu Yibai's email. He flipped through them one by one, noting the corresponding plot scene and lighting conditions for each qipao.

Jing Tian's body proportions are indeed very suitable for wearing cheongsams, with smooth shoulder and neck lines and just the right waist and hip curves.

He was looking at the photo when his phone rang.

The caller ID showed Li Yitong.

"Mr. Fu, do you have time today?"

I miss you a little~

Li Yitong's voice came through the receiver, sounding somewhat pitiful.

"I'm free. Where are you?"

"I'm at home. I'll send you my address."

"Okay, I'll go there now."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Yibai grabbed his coat and left the office.

He stopped in front of a flower shop while driving along Chaoyang North Road and bought a bunch of pink lisianthus.

Li Yitong's new apartment is in Wangjing, on the 21st floor of a high-rise residential building.

When Fu Yibai rang the doorbell, the door opened almost instantly.

Li Yitong wore a light gray knit sweater and dark blue lounge pants, her long hair was loose over her shoulders, she had no makeup on, and only applied a layer of clear lip balm to her lips.

Fu Yibai entered the room and handed her the flowers.

Li Yitong took the flowers, lowered her head to smell them, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. Then she placed the flowers in the entryway, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Fu Yibai.

Fu Yibai supported her waist, taking the initiative.

The two walked towards the sofa and eventually collapsed onto it.

After that, the two of them rolled from the sofa into the bedroom.

Li Yitong's bed wasn't big, only 1.5 meters wide, just the right size for two people to lie on.

The whole process lasted nearly an hour.

Afterwards, Li Yitong leaned against Fu Yibai's chest, her breathing gradually calming down.

The sky outside the window changed from gray-blue to orange-red, and the evening light shone through the half-open curtains, casting long, thin shadows on the two people.

"Yi Bai, I miss you so much~"

"I miss you as well."

Fu Yibai gently stroked Li Yitong's smooth and delicate back.

"Would you be willing to move to a villa area in the capital?"

Li Yitong's body stiffened for a moment.

"So this day has finally come..."

That's what she was thinking.

Fu Yibai noticed Li Yitong's silence and asked softly.

"You don't want to?"

It's okay, I'll come visit you when I have time.

"I do."

Fu Yibai tightened his arms around her, pulling her into his embrace.

That evening, Fu Yibai drove Li Yitong back to the villa area of ​​the capital.

Li Yitong sat in the passenger seat and remained quiet throughout the journey.

As the car turned into the gate of the capital's villa district, her breathing noticeably paused.

"nervous?"

"A little."

Fu Yibai reached out and placed his hand on the back of her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.

"Don't be afraid."

As I pushed open the door, warm yellow light and the voices of women poured out.

Hearing the noise at the door, everyone turned around.

Fan Binbin was the first to react. She placed her hand on her pregnant belly and smiled at Li Yitong.

"Oh, it's Yitong. Come and sit down."

Li Yitong stood at the door, her gaze sweeping over the faces of everyone on the sofa. Her movements were somewhat stiff, but she still walked up to Fan Binbin.

"Sit down, don't be nervous. We're not going to eat you."

Li Yitong sat down next to Fan Binbin, her back ramrod straight, her hands clasped on her knees, her posture as reserved as a freshman taking her first acting class.

She had prepared herself mentally before coming, but she was still shocked to see so many people in the house, including two children.

That evening, the women prepared a sumptuous dinner to welcome Li Yitong.

Li Yitong was a little nervous at first, but she quickly relaxed.

After the children had fallen asleep late at night, Fan Binbin, who was pregnant, and Li Dabai also went back to their room early.

The others also left and went to rest in other villas.

Fu Yibai took Li Yitong and arranged for her to stay at the villa where Huang Mengying and the others lived.

Over the next few days, the women in the villa began to leave one after another.

Yang Mi and Tang Yan were the first to leave. They each joined different film crews in Hengdian, so they could look after each other.

Jing Tian and Liu Yifei didn't have any urgent schedules. They stayed in the villa with Fan Binbin and Li Dabai, occasionally going out for a stroll or playing with the two children in the living room.

Hu Jing, Wang Ou...

They gradually received notices and began working in the new year.

January 1, Beijing Capital International Airport.

Fu Yibai, Jing Tian, ​​and Huang Mengying boarded a flight to Kunming.

Jing Tian wore a light green long trench coat, her hair tied in a high ponytail, and she couldn't hide her excitement.

Huang Mengying was dressed casually, in a white sweatshirt and jeans, wearing sunglasses, and leaning back in her chair with her eyes closed, resting.

After the plane landed at Kunming Changshui Airport, the three of them did not rush to Shangri-La, but stayed in Kunming for a few days first.

Fu Yibai took the two women to visit all the scenic spots around Kunming, including Dianchi Lake, Stone Forest, and Jiuxiang. Jing Tian would take photos with Huang Mengying at each place they visited.

On March 4, the three set off from Kunming, traveling north along the Yunnan-Tibet Highway, passing through Dali and Lijiang, and finally arriving in Shangri-La.

The further north we went, the higher the altitude became, and the bluer the sky became. The scenery outside the car window changed from the green mountains and clear waters of Dianchi Lake to the snow-capped mountains and meadows of the plateau.

Jing Tian leaned against the car window, snapping photos with her phone pressed against the glass.

On the evening of March 5, the three arrived at the film crew's residence in Shangri-La.

On March 6, filming for "Si Teng" officially began in Shangri-La.

The opening ceremony was held on a lakeside meadow in Pudacuo National Park.

A thin mist hangs over the plateau in the early morning, the lake is as calm as a mirror, and the distant snow-capped mountains gleam with a pale golden light in the morning glow.

The crew arrived two hours early, and the production assistants set up a simple altar by the lake, on which incense burners and offerings were placed.

Jing Tian had already changed into Si Teng's first cheongsam, a cream-colored silk cheongsam with silver vine patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs.

She stood by the lake, a few strands of her hair fluttering in the morning breeze, her figure like a painting embedded in the scenic landscape of the plateau.

Huang Mengying stood to the side wearing Shen Yindeng's costume, a dark red long dress with a slightly low neckline that revealed her fair collarbone.

Her makeup was heavier than usual, her eyeliner was arched upwards, and her whole demeanor transformed from that of a cheerful girl into that of a cold, venomous snake.

Chen Xiao only arrived in Shangri-La yesterday.

He gave a thumbs up when he saw Jing Tian in her cheongsam.

Fu Yibai lit incense and led the entire crew to stand in front of the offering table.

Three incense sticks were inserted into the incense burner, and the smoke rose slowly in the morning breeze of the plateau.
