Chapter 80: 049 He has a secret hidden on him (Part 1 update)_4

Luuo Yunqi’s role is Princess Hengyang, the second female lead with screen time second only to Yusheng. The character is highly complex, far from the conventional villainous side character. She is ambitious and strategic, completely devoid of a "love-obsessed" mindset. She even mocks Yusheng’s infatuation and marries Chenyu solely for political capital. In short, it’s an exciting and intricate role—if performed well, it will be truly remarkable.

Luuo Yunqi has a poised and refined presence. Her privileged upbringing gives her a relaxed elegance that fits well with the identity of a royal princess. Among the numerous candidates, Luuo Yunqi’s performance was Director Cen’s favorite.

Luuo Yunqi doesn’t have any action scenes, but her costume and makeup are the most elaborate and complicated. She spent an entire day on styling.

To Director Cen, there’s no such thing as "holding back on makeup." Everything is done in service to the character.

The first scene to be filmed is the one where Yusheng and Chenyu meet.

Ru Caiying changed into a martial artist’s outfit. Having originally trained in opera as a daomadan, she had maintained herself well over the years. At first glance, she looked like she was barely in her twenties, carrying a long blade on her back, with sharp, radiant eyes and a commanding presence.

Pu Yutai, dressed in a scholar’s robes, was striking to look at.

What a graceful and stunning young man.

Pu Yutai nervously adjusted his hairpiece, which was tightly fastened and painfully pulling at his scalp—he found it rather uncomfortable.

Director Cen frowned, "Stop messing with your hairpiece and stand properly."

Fortunately, Pu Yutai was obedient. Whatever the director told him to do, he did, much like a pliable puppet easily molded.

During the shoot, Pu Yutai—a complete novice in acting—kept making mistakes, forcing Ru Caiying to hold back her irritation time after time. Finally, she snapped, "Do you even know how to act?"

Pu Yutai, stammering, lowered his head and said nothing.

Director Cen called out, "Okay, let’s take a break, everyone. Have some water."

Ru Caiying ran to the side of the set and was about to grab her water bottle when a hand extended it toward her—it was her water bottle.

She looked up and saw a girl completely wrapped up from head to toe.

"You’an, aren’t you hot wearing all that?"

She spoke as she took a sip of water, her eyes squinting with a smile.

"It’s strawberry smoothie, no way!"

Shen You’an smiled gently, "Miss Ru, it’s a hot day, this will help cool your temper."

After pausing briefly, her gaze shifted toward a specific direction.

"Do you know why Director Cen chose a rookie with no filming experience?"

Ru Caiying followed Shen You’an’s line of sight.

Director Cen was patiently explaining the scene to Pu Yutai, who listened intently. Beads of sweat rolled down his temples, yet his youthful enthusiasm remained undiminished.

Ru Caiying pursed her lips, "What else could it be?"

"Because he trusts you."

Ru Caiying froze for a moment, subconsciously turning her head to look at Shen You’an.

"Trusts me?"

"Pu Yutai is like a blank sheet of paper—you can freely draw on it. Or rather, he’s an unpolished jade, waiting to see whether the sculptor’s skill can turn him into an unparalleled gem."

It could be said that Director Cen was extremely thoughtful in his decision-making.

In her previous life, it wasn’t Ru Caiying who played Yusheng, but another seasoned actress from the industry. Her chemistry with Pu Yutai was quite strong, but unfortunately, her poor martial arts foundation led to frequent use of stunt doubles in the film, which detracted from the fluidity of the action scenes and left regrets.

Later, this actress was exposed in a cheating scandal, causing the film to be permanently pulled from circulation.

In that past life, Pu Yutai won all the newcomer awards with this film, proving that he indeed possesses acting talent—it just awaits discovery.

A talented actor can inspire their co-star’s emotions, pulling them deeper into the performance to jointly create the characters.

Shen You’an believed that Ru Caiying’s abilities were no less than that of the other actress—they were only lacking patience. With heartfelt dedication, she wouldn’t just match the other actress but might even produce a more stunning effect alongside Pu Yutai.

Ru Caiying reflected seriously, "You’re right. I’ve been too impatient."

As the break ended and Ru Caiying prepared to leave, she gave Shen You’an a thoughtful look.

"You seem to understand characters quite well. Would you be interested in becoming my aide? I’ll pay you double the market rate."

After yesterday’s events, she realized that this aide had quite a bit of depth.

Plus, she never mentioned to anyone her fondness for strawberry-flavored drinks, yet Shen You’an somehow knew and thoughtfully prepared one.

That showed remarkable intelligence, attentiveness, and observational skills.

Ru Caiying understood well that an exceptional aide was invaluable.

If Shen You’an was truly willing, Ru Caiying would even offer ten times the pay.

Shen You’an smiled gently, "I’m sorry, Miss Ru. The company will send a personal aide for you soon—they should be reporting to you shortly."
