Chapter 16

Northwest, Film Set.

Zhuang Jiang’s first scene... consisted of a single passage from the beginning of the script. At this point in time, Yan Si had already reclaimed his kingdom. He had sent men to find Yun Niang, intending to summon her into the palace to become the master of the inner court. However, in the heart of the great desert, her silhouette had long since vanished. The opening of the script— Yun Niang is still dressed in red, sitting barefoot upon an old tree trunk. She holds a wooden hairpin in her hand, gazing toward the direction of the capital. No opponent, not a single line of dialogue. This was Zhuang Jiang’s first scene. ... When Ye Bai walked over. Zhuang Jiang was sitting in a chair, her script held in her hand. An Mian stood beside her, touching up her makeup. Ye Bai looked at her, and for a fleeting moment, a flash of stunning realization crossed his eyes. He reached out and handed her a ginger candy, giving her a gentle smile. "Nervous?" Zhuang Jiang looked up, glancing into the distance. Quite a few people had already gathered there, waiting to see... waiting to see the first scene of this female lead. Ye Bai followed her gaze. Seeing this scene, he smiled and said to her, "This is a habit of the crew. When I filmed my first scene, there were many onlookers as well." He added, "Don't be nervous. The more nervous you are, the more likely you are to make a mistake." "Nervous?" Zhuang Jiang set down the script and stood up. Then, she looked at him and smiled softly. "You worry too much." She took the ginger candy from his hand and offered a word of thanks... Then, without another look at him, she walked forward. "Action!" The continuity person snapped the clapperboard, and the voices of the surrounding people fell into a dead silence. Every eye was fixed in one direction— Zhuang Jiang sat barefoot on the old tree trunk. Beneath her feet were the yellow sands; above her head were peach blossoms. Her eyes were slightly lowered, her thumb gently rubbing the wooden hairpin in her grip. An eagle glided across the horizon. And she lifted her head, gazing toward the capital... He had already reclaimed his kingdom. With his abilities, no one would ever be his match again. From now on, he would have more and more women... Some of those women would be the families of his ministers, some would be the nobility of other nations. Whether he was willing or not... In the end, he could not prevent those women from appearing. Proud as she was, how could she be willing to spend her remaining days competing for favor with the women of the three palaces and six courtyards, merely praying for a sliver of his affection... Since it had come to this... Since it had come to this. Yun Niang closed her eyes. She still adored him, but that was as far as it went. In the days to come, she would still wish for his reign to be peaceful and his legacy to last for thousands of years. But this vast territory of ten thousand miles—she could not, after all, accompany him to look upon it. She opened her eyes and looked up at the boundless blue sky... The wind brushed through her hair, and she slowly let a smile bloom. And in her eyes, the bitterness of unrequited longing from the beginning transformed into a sense of relief and hope. Director Zhang watched the scene before him. Whenever this young girl appeared in front of the lens, she gave him a certain feeling... She was remarkably like Yan Man. In terms of appearance, they did not look alike. Yan Man was more like a blooming red rose, while the person before him was more like a green lotus from the legendary islands of Penglai or the celestial pools of the Jade Palace. Their similarity was more like something embedded deep within their bones. The same pride, the same brilliance, the same... Quality that made them unforgettable upon first sight. "Cut!" In truth, this segment had ended moments ago, but the crowd had been slow to snap out of it. Only at Director Zhang’s shout did everyone gradually return to their senses... They were still staring forward, but Zhuang Jiang had already stepped out of character. Once away from the camera, she returned to her usual self. Her expression was indifferent as she walked forward without stopping. Ye Bai watched her approach, unable to suppress the surprise in his heart. He was not very old, but his talent was excellent. Having been in the industry for three years, he—like Su Yun… Had already won a Top Ten Young Actor award. Yet even he had never passed a scene under Director Zhang in a single take. This person, this woman... Ye Bai looked over the crowd; she had far exceeded their imaginations as well. He walked forward to meet her, praising her with a smile, "You acted very well." Zhuang Jiang gave a soft "Mm." She took the coat An Mian handed her and draped it over her shoulders. Then, she looked up and said to him, "I know." Arrogant as always. But now, it made them feel a sense of... This was how it should be. She was meant to be this way. Zhuang Jiang said no more and continued walking until she reached Director Zhang, where she called out to him softly. Director Zhang nodded. He paused for a moment before speaking, "The acting wasn't bad." Zhuang Jiang gave another "Mm," followed by: "I will strive to perform even better later." Director Zhang grunted. "Go rest and prepare for the next scene." ... The next scene belonged to Guan Jie and Wen Liang. Zhuang Jiang stood to the side and watched for a while until An Mian walked over and handed her a phone... saying softly, "Sister Jiang, a call." "Mm." Zhuang Jiang took the phone and checked it; it was Tang Qing. Ye Bai watched her walk away and followed for a few steps. He held a cup of ginger tea. As the weather was getting colder, he was afraid she might catch a chill... so he had specifically asked his assistant to brew a cup. Just as Ye Bai was about to call out to her, he saw her answer the phone... And then came a gentle sentence: "Qingqing." "I miss you." Ye Bai stopped in his tracks. He looked over; the person not far away was showing only half of her face, wearing an expression of absolute tenderness. He gave a small smile and handed the ginger tea to her assistant. Then, he turned and walked in another direction.
