Chapter 437

The situation with the "Wei Yang couple" has sparked a lively debate online. Both parties involved unexpectedly posted on their blogs:

[Qin Wei]: "Hey, author of 'Shining Queen,' I'm here to offer you some material. Why aren't you writing? You were writing just a few days ago, but now you're on a break? The paparazzi are still snapping photos, and the marketing team is still promoting. Why aren't you putting in the effort? Will it kill you to update twice a day?"

[Su Yang]: "Oh, I thought you, Qin Wei, could clarify things... Since you're not clarifying, I won't either. Considering that the author might be facing writer's block, let me provide a suggestion for the plot of 'Shining Queen.' Create some misunderstandings and introduce a few new characters.

Also, I'll be going to the set tomorrow. During my break, I'll sit beside Qin Wei and won't go anywhere else. I hope the paparazzi capture my right side when they sneakily take photos. I'll do my best to cooperate." [Qin Wei]: "I'll also do my best to cooperate. They can take photos of me however they want, but I request that the media friends make them clear and easy for the fans on the fan site to edit."

Comments:

[Oh my gosh]

[Seriously, oh my gosh]

[This is so exciting]

"What do you take the paparazzi for?"

"You really should clarify. It's so annoying. If you don't clarify soon, I'll unfollow you."

"Don't pretend to be fans. Fans already know that these two are just friends. They're always being subjected to rumors. How can they have the energy to clarify?"

"If you enjoy watching dramas, you should check out 'Star Ignition.' It's a high-quality drama with an 8.5 rating on Douban. If you like watching movies, you can look forward to 'Confrontation.' Director Yuan is experienced, and the actors are dedicated."

"Don't focus too much on my brother's pitiful circle of friends. If you scare them away, he'll be all alone."

...

Qin Wei refused to cooperate with her roommate's request for a scene and went back to her room to sleep after eating. The ample rest made her feel refreshed the next day.

The set today was spacious, with a large platform set up in the middle for Gong Lan's dance scene.

The plot revolves around messengers sent by Gong Lan's former country and an enemy country's ruler who intends to humiliate them. They set up a stage in the marketplace outside the palace for Gong Lan to dance. The prince once said, "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated," but at this moment, Gong Lan agreed to perform. She even spotted Zhao Yu among the onlookers. Not only did she dance, but she also danced to conquer the world, gaining widespread recognition as the most beautiful and outstanding dancer. The enemy country's ruler grew even fonder of her because of it.

As for the previous events, they will be filmed together with the sword dance scene inside the palace. So, only Lu Wei from Zhao Yu's team appeared today.

Zhao Yu doesn't have many scenes today, so they can finish filming quickly.

Qin Wei's appearance today didn't differ much from yesterday, except she wore an arm guard. Su Yang's attire was also very handsome. Seeing the two of them together, Li Jing's mind was already flooded with 18,500 words of BL fiction.

Li Jing whispered to Xiao Wang, "Look at my sister. She looks so cool! I didn't think she and Su Yang had much of a 'couple vibe' before, but now, with this look, if they played ordinary brothers, it would be so addictive..."

Not only Li Jing, but Xiao Wang was also captivated and really hoped this scene would be included in the public behind-the-scenes footage so that Li Jing could openly write her fanfiction.

Qin Wei examined Su Yang from head to toe and came to a conclusion, "I'm more handsome than you."

Su Yang usually indulged her, but when it came to being handsome, he believed that being excessively modest would be hypocritical:

"You're more beautiful than me, but I'm more handsome than you, and taller too."

"But I'm the more handsome one."

Qin Wei grabbed Qiao Sixiao, who happened to pass by, and asked, "Between the two of us, who is more handsome? Give me a choice between the two, and don't try to spare our feelings by saying we're both handsome."

Qiao Sixiao couldn't be bothered to deal with the two of them and simply said something childish before leaving.

"Ah, so good-looking."

Qin Wei sighed as she watched Qiao Sixiao's figure disappear.

If we're talking about beauty, it has to be Gong Lan's appearance. Wearing a light golden dance dress with wide sleeves and delicate makeup, anyone who sees her would want to say to her, "You've worked hard coming down to the mortal world."

Su Yang asked her, "Do you regret it? It was said that you were originally cast for this role."

Qin Wei shook her head and said, "No, for this movie, I only wanted to be the most handsome one."

Su Yang couldn't afford to lose, "The most handsome one is me."

"It's me!"

Two kindergarten children could argue about this forever.

With the preparations completed, the official filming began.

It was heard that the palace was going to perform a dance at the market, so the common people flocked there to join in the excitement. Among the crowd were Zhao Yu and Lu Wei from the envoy.

Lu Wei asked Zhao Yu, "We just arrived in the city and heard that our princess is going to dance here. They're clearly trying to humiliate us. If the princess refuses, we'll take a strong approach and forcefully seize the opportunity, what do you think?" Zhao Yu shook his head, advising Lu Wei to remain calm. "The mission of the envoy is to defuse conflicts, and unless the superiors give the order, we should observe the situation..."

While they were talking, the music on the elevated stage began to play, and the crowd fell silent as a young woman in a light golden dance dress and a gauze veil on her face stepped onto the stage.

The woman was as beautiful as a heavenly fairy, and everyone couldn't help but marvel at her.

This was also the first time Zhao Yu and Lu Wei had seen Gong Lan. Their gazes followed her, unable to help but look at her more.

Meanwhile, Gong Lan remained calm, with a face as tranquil as a still lake, showing no ripples.

With the beat of the music, Gong Lan started to dance, her steps light as if treading on the moon, eliciting exclamations from the audience below.

And Gong Lan's gaze landed on Zhao Yu, again and again.

At that moment, the two of them broke through the boundaries of distance, and their eyes were only filled with each other.

This was a true first encounter.

"Cut!"

The director, Yuan, shouted, "The dance was great, moving on!"

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Yuan picked up her megaphone and started yelling, "But what was the look in Gong Lan's eyes when she saw Zhao Yu? Have you been married for ten years? Are you two close? Isn't this your first meeting?

And don't you dare smirk at me, Zhao Yu. It's not like you don't realize your own problem. Is that look in your eyes telling her that you're one of her own?

Your country doesn't have the internet. Have you never seen a picture of your country's princess? How can you be sure she's one of your people? What about your mutual testing?"

Yuan directed the scene, emphasizing the need for emotional depth. She loved shooting delicate scenes, especially when it came to eye contact. It shouldn't be too excessive or too little; it had to be just right.

Yuan handed the megaphone to her assistant and walked up to the actors. She first spoke to Zhao Yu:

"When you look at her, you should scrutinize her gaze, determining if she is the person you need to save. But what if she is a substitute sent by the enemy ruler? After all, you have never seen the appearance of the county princess, right?"

Director Yuan turned to Gong Lan and said,

"You don't know her, and you don't even know if she is a man or a woman, but you were immediately attracted to her at first sight.

Upon closer inspection, you noticed the pattern on the armguard she was wearing, which is the symbol of the deceased warriors from your father's mansion. It occurred to you that they might have come to rescue you.

However, you couldn't expose yourself too quickly. You were afraid it might be a trap, and you were also afraid that if it was true, revealing them would jeopardize the plan's success. So, the exchange of glances between you two was a mutual test."

Director Yuan asked everyone to rest and then took the two of them aside:

"Come on, let's lock eyes. When the time is right, we'll end it... Tsk, Qin Wei, is this your enemy? Why are you glaring at her??"
