Chapter 793 - 791: Chronicle of the Imperial Consorts
Even if the script is well-crafted, it’s still just a web drama.
Tong Yan glanced at all the actors present. Besides her and Chen Lan, Jiang Yu had the most clout, and the rest were almost all unfamiliar faces—completely unrecognized.
This was a palace intrigue drama, so most of those present were women.
Tong Yan sighed, feeling that the coming period wouldn’t be easy. She had a premonition that the fights on screen would spill into reality as well.
Where there are people, there are conflicts.
Three women make a drama. With so many women here, how many dramas would that be?
Chen Lan arrived quite late, so it was just her and Jiang Yu for now. Oh, and sitting nearby was a big personality, emanating a cold aura, so no one dared to approach for the moment.
Director Meng came over, clapping his hands at everyone, "The shoot is about to start. Actors who need to be on set, go get your makeup done. The lighting crew, cameramen, and props team should all do a final check, don’t mess up."
With Director Meng’s orders, everyone started to hustle.
Tong Yan was the protagonist, playing the daughter of a minor official entering the palace. From the moment she first saw the Emperor, she was captivated by his demeanor. The Emperor was gentle toward her, so she gradually fell in love with him. She thought true love could exist even in the Imperial Palace. But the Emperor was so amorous, how could he reserve his love for just one person? What he said to her today, he would say to another tomorrow, and her heart gradually turned cold. It would be fine if he didn’t love her, but he used her again and again, to stabilize the court situation, he sent her to someone else.
She let go of love and returned to the palace, plotting every step, fighting against this one and that one, and finally killed the Emperor and became the Empress.
This is a tale of a woman’s revenge journey.
The drama was ruined previously due to a lack of good actors, and it didn’t become popular. But the script was praised by everyone, so this time she wanted to try and see if she could handle it.
Tong Yan was about to go for makeup. Technically, her assistant should be there to help.
She glanced at Bo Yimo beside her, then decided to just do it herself—better to rely on oneself.
Unexpectedly, just as she sat down, Bo Yimo came in.
Tong Yan twitched the corner of her mouth, "What are you coming in for?"
Bo Yimo smiled broadly, warming the whole room with his smile, "Darling, I’m here to help."
Even just sitting there, he had an overwhelming presence that made it impossible for people to ignore him.
The makeup artist was trembling, feeling particularly nervous, always sensing that Young Master Mo’s eyes held knives, ready to tear if anything went wrong.
So, he was especially careful, particularly making sure not to touch Tong Yan.
Because someone was watching all the time.
Period makeup is extremely difficult to apply, the process complex, and the makeup artist felt he had never been so exhausted.
The styling and face alone took over an hour, and then she had to go to the costume department to get dressed.
The costumer took the costume needed for today’s scene and prepared to dress her.
"You can leave now." The casual words bore a hint of commanding authority, exuding a domineering ease.
The exceptional person is the one who achieves practical results.
After quickly explaining the clothing and how to wear it, the costumer made a swift exit.
In the dressing room, suddenly, only the two of them remained.
Tong Yan looked at him vigilantly, feeling as if she were a lamb walking into a tiger’s den, no, a wolf’s den.
Clearly, Bo Yimo was the big bad wolf—the most cunning and sly one.
