Chapter 134: Court Drama
Ji Xia also has an adopted son in the play. In the plot, the son raised by her at a young age is also the one who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger. Now he is just over three years old, which is the time when he is cute. He often opens his big watery eyes and acts coquettishly with Ji Xia.
Who can bear this?
His mother would often come to Ji Xia's RV with her son, and they would chat together.
Wen Sisi finally returned to the Kyoto Film and Television Base. She didn't like the Yamashiro Base. The plot there was very difficult to shoot. She was always flying around on wires and almost froze to death.
Finally coming back to film the court scenes, she must issue many announcements to outshine Ji Xia. Anyone who doesn't take advantage of the popularity is a fool.
Wen Sisi and Wang He came back these days, and the whole crew was very lively. Wen Sisi had no time to calm down, and there was chaos all day long. Her RV was near Ji Xia.
Ji Xia's scene was in the afternoon today. When she was reading the script in the RV in the morning, she heard a faint crying sound. She glanced out the window and saw a girl curled up on the side of the RV, her hands covering her stomach tightly, her back twitching.
You can tell that she is crying. She knows this person, he is Wen Sisi's assistant, but she just watches, not knowing how to deal with it.
Wen Sisi loves to make trouble, and everyone in the crew knows it. She has no way to help with this kind of thing. Wen Sisi pays this girl a salary, and if she can't stand it, she can quit.
She had no right to accuse.
But after waiting for a while, the sobbing did not get smaller but got louder. Ji Xia sighed and motioned Guoguo, who was also paying attention, to go and take a look.
After a while, Zhang Guoguo came back with a look of indignation on his face.
Sitting in her seat, she muttered like a machine gun: "Xia Xia, you don't know that Wen Sisi always beats and scolds her assistant in private. I thought she just had a bad temper, but I didn't expect she didn't even treat her assistant as a human being!!"
Ji Xia looked up and motioned for her to continue.
"This young assistant is a recent college graduate like me. She applied for the position because the salary was high and her family was short of money. But Wen Sisi makes her get up early every day and run a long way to buy breakfast. She also has to put socks on her and sometimes even wash her underwear..."
"She was fine today, but for some reason Wen Sisi got so angry that he insisted she go to the south to buy some medicinal food. When she got it back, Wen Sisi said it was cold and started scolding her."
"She couldn't work anymore and cried, saying that she had terrible menstrual cramps today. She told me all this because she wanted to quit." Zhang Guoguo was already very angry when she said this.
She is a student who has not yet graduated. She follows a good boss like Ji Xia and has not experienced the hardships of life. Therefore, she is still full of youthful vigor and cannot tolerate evil.
Ji Xia thought more deeply. There was no point in her interfering in these matters. The other party was in a normal employment relationship. "Go give her some brown sugar water and ibuprofen. If she really feels uncomfortable, take her to get a room. I'll reimburse her."
In the afternoon, several leading actors gathered for a court scene. At this time, Murong Xue had already taken the position of Regent Queen Mother with the help of the factory master, but many ministers in the court were dissatisfied with Murong Xue's position.
The male protagonist who returned at this time became the target of some court officials. They felt that the prince was young and strong, both civil and military, and was more suitable than the young emperor.
They would not allow the country to fall into the hands of a woman.
The male protagonist is not interested in the country. He just wants to know whether this woman has any intentions towards the country and wants to seize power and control the government.
This scene is about the male protagonist bringing Murong Zhi back to meet the new emperor, and they are at loggerheads in the court.
Director Daxiong was watching the scene on the set, holding a megaphone in his hand. "Lighting team, dim the lights. Props team, straighten the things on the emperor's desk. It looks very messy now."
In preparation for the afternoon scene, Ji Xia was putting on makeup in the dressing room at noon. Her look was mainly black and yellow, and her robe was very luxurious, paired with dark eyeliner. Her aura was completely different from before. At this moment, she was in power and was no longer a little concubine in the mansion who was bullied by others. She was the most noble person in the world.
Those who used to look down on me now have to kneel down and worship me.
Several leading actors were in place. Wen Sisi stared at Ji Xia's extravagant attire, feeling disdainful in her heart: no matter what, she was the female lead, and no matter how hard Ji Xia tried to hype herself, she could never compare to herself.
Daxiong led everyone through the play. There were many extras in this scene, including more than 30 ministers and eunuchs. If one person made a mistake, the whole set of shots would be ruined. In addition, the dialogues between the main actors were very long.
Ji Xia was sitting behind the curtain, and the small emperor was sitting on the huge dragon throne. His dragon eyes were gazing majestically at the courtiers below, which formed a sharp contrast with the little emperor's childish face, making it look particularly absurd.
Qin Ziqi was wearing the factory manager's court robes. He stood respectfully at the front on the right side, looking at the person behind the curtain with tenderness in his eyes.
The male protagonist and Murong Zhi are on the left, and they are both dressed formally.
Daxiong stood watching from above, signaling the court officials to change positions according to his instructions. "When the filming officially starts later, the main actors will start arguing. You who are standing at the back have lower official positions, so just follow the etiquette teacher's instructions and keep your heads down. Don't laugh secretly or look around.
For those who have lines in front, based on your own camp and status, those on the left cater to the male and female protagonists, and those on the right support the male second. You can also infer this based on your own lines. "
It took almost an hour to adjust each step. Daxiong finally returned to the monitor and said, "Everyone, get ready. We're going to do one."
When Ji Xia heard the voice, he quickly put his script paper into his boots, and then sat up straight, his eyes instantly turning serious and correct.
Following the eunuch's voice, the court officials filed in and stood. Daxiong did not film the daily report, but fast-forwarded to the next part.
As the emperor's uncle who was away from home, the male protagonist first paid his respects to the emperor and the empress dowager.
Then he knelt down and proposed his first matter, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I have just returned from my travels and met the eldest daughter of the Murong Mansion on the way. I would like to marry her as my princess. I hope Your Majesty and Queen Mother will grant my consent."
The little emperor said nothing, but turned his head to look at his mother behind him. Murong Xue was looking at the eldest daughter of her own mansion with amusement from behind.
"It must be a coincidence. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be sitting here now!" The superior's teasing voice was very prominent in the entire space.
Murong Zhi looked up at the source of the sound.
"Ka" Big Bear's voice rang out, "What's going on? She's the Queen Mother, and she hasn't even opened her mouth to ask you to get up. Wen Sisi, you can't raise your head. This is extremely disrespectful."
Wen Sisi's face was very red. She was just immersed in the role and for a moment she really wanted to see what her half-sister looked like now.
A few more people came, and Wen Sisi's voice was inexplicably timid when he spoke.
"Ka, the heroine is a chivalrous woman who roams the world. She looks down on those who rely on their beauty to get to the top, so she shouldn't do this. Harden your voice."
A few more snaps followed, and Director Daxiong's face darkened. Did he choose Wen Sisi because she'd previously played a similar role and was a hit? What was going on? What kind of character was this filming? There was no chivalry at all.
