Wungheng Gu stand in front of Luzhou, maintaining the bowing position while Luzhou turning over the memorial.

Action.

“I had told you many times!” Luzhou throwed the memorial straight at Wungheng Gu and snapped, “Who told you to search their house?!”

(T/N: During filming the ‘I’ Luzhou you is always superior, while the ‘you’ is inferior)

Wungheng Gu startled, bowing his head, glancing back and forth, a look of uncertainty.

“Both men performed well,” the female co-ordinate whispered: “Wungheng Gu could able to catch up with Luzhou.”

Xiao Yi asked: “Wungheng Gu also receive professional training?”

The female co-ordinate nodded, Xiao Yi stood, watching two man act, previously his idea is that every actor could act easily, but he gradually discovered his thought and the reality is a worlds apart. In fact acting is very difficult, if he were taken the role of Wungheng Gu, he definitely couldn’t act like that.

Luzhou briefly say a few words then delegate an a.s.signment for his younger brother played by Wuheng Gu, the director was satisfied with the two performance after filming is finished.

At 5:50 pm, everyone busy packing things up, pa.s.sing out lunchbox and Luzhou’s dinner also arrived in time. Obviously, everyone would be tired in the afternoon, only taken two or three bites then head to the car and rest. Xiao Yi gave Luzhou a cough drop, another a.s.sistant is giving him a ma.s.sage, but he feel uncomfortable and called out: “Xiao Yi, come here.”

Xiao Yi switch place with the other a.s.sistant and ma.s.sage Luzhou’s shoulder, he understand Luzhou is exhausted, therefore he decided to stay silent. A moment later someone called to inform they are switching location, Xiao Yi then drive the car.

The sky gradually faded, the lights and props members arrived first and had set up everything in advance, screening off a section of the palace, then placed the dazzling vertical lights. Luzhou changed his outfit in the car and walked out, looking at the bright light making him dizzy, he moved aside and let the staff member fix his make-up.

Luzhou first put on a nocturnal robe, folding his arm while talking with the director about a scene in the script, after that he then put on the emperor robe as an outer garment.

Supporting actors walk along the corridor in the summer palace, the photographer’s a.s.sistant lie on his stomach, pus.h.i.+ng the camera while crawling.

Xiao Yi: “……….”

Xiao Yi always thought that the camera following the actors is moving on the railway, he actually didn’t expect that instead of the railway, it’s the people who lying on the floor and pus.h.i.+ng the camera…..once again he was surprised.

The staff members hold up the reflective plate, while slowly moving.

Luzhou clasp his hands behind his back, walking in front with two men behind him.

“This matter, well be in the hands of you two….”

Xiao Yi start feeling tired, holding Luzhou’s clothes, he lean against the car and waited. After this there will be another scene where the supporting female character accompanied by her maid, walked over and meet Shulu Ping.

The scene takes 30 minutes to film.

Again another scene, the messenger riding his horse to send message.

Xiao Yi drowsily fell asleep. Feeling his head is leaning against someone shoulder, he opened his eyes and saw Luzhou standing next to him, supporting his head with his shoulder.

“It’s finished?” Xiao Yi said.

“Still early.” Luzhou said, “There is still some interlude scenes left, if you’re tired, go lie down in the car.”

Of course it was impossible for Xiao Yi to sleep, after a moment, a roar make him startle.

“Die La—!”

Hearing such a loud sound, Xiao Yi know Luzhou is currently filming, he immediately got up to watch.

(T/N: Die La is A Baoji’s brother)

“Die La!” Luzhou chased after another supporting male actor playing the role of Die La, then gradually stopped.

“Cut!” the director shouted, “Die La run off-screen, and again.”

Luzhou: “……..”

Filming start again.

“Die La-!”

“Die La!” Luzhou has caught up and stopped.

Director: “Cut!! Luzhou you ran to close,”

Luzhou really feels defeated by them, the third time chasing, Die La still facing his back toward Luzhou, he bitterly said: “Even you want to leave my side?!”

Although Xiao Yi doesn’t know what scene this is, but his body fall into a strange world, he can feel the grief within Luzhou. Die La choked with emotion, back facing Luzhou and utter: “Your majesty, An Duan is death, all his property was seize, now you doesn’t need Die La anymore, I humbly beg you, your majesty leave me a way out!”

Die La stopped, turned around and knelt, Luzhou immediately help him up, the director then shouted “Cut!”

“Don’t help him, kneeling too fast and the words isn’t emotional enough. Again.”

Everytime Xiao Yi was moved by a scene, the word ‘cut’ suddenly stopped him, it is like missing oxygen, making him unable to breathe.

Repeatedly, filming back and forth, Xiao Yi was almost exhausted from all the emotional feelings until Luzhou painfully cried,

“Die La–!”

Luzhou explosive voice shocked everyone watching, the director immediately shouted cut, and said: “Standby, ready!”

Following after, a ladder was placed on the palace wall, the subst.i.tute climbed up, Die La threw himself into Luzhou’s arms, he was shot by the a.s.sa.s.sin in the distant. Xiao Yi thought ‘F****, the screenwriter although wrote the this ridiculous script, but still have a little skill! Who killed Luzhou….No, A Baoji’s brother? Actually dared to kill someone in front of the emperor’s face?

Did Shulu Ping send the a.s.sa.s.sin?! Xiao Yi quickly flipped open the script and indeed it is!

Luzhou let out his suppressed anger, choking with his emotions while Die La lying in his arms. The co-ordinate, props, photographer’s a.s.sistant and Hou Qin click their tongue in synchronize fill with admiration.

Luzhou whole body was trembling, he lower his body and bury his head in the supporting actor that playing the role of Die La. His hand shakingly caressed the other man face, the girls watching couldn’t bear it anymore, they said in a low voice: “Beautiful…..so beautiful…”

Xiao Yi seem to able to hear them, he completely captivated by Luzhou, even his nose ache, from 10 steps he could feel the pain and bitterness Luzhou feels. His brother was shot by a poisoned arrow in front of him, no one could even bear the pain. It was his blood brother, the feeling of losing a member of your family is heartbreaking, Luzhou tremble, touched his forehead very sincerely.

He suddenly looked forward to this drama, but don’t know after all the editing, how will this turn out, the amount invested in it is no joke.

After finished, the staff members clean up the scene, Luzhou was panting, eyes still fill with tears, he sat down on the bench where Xiao Yi is and breathe in deeply, taking the bottle of water from Xiao Yi and drink a mouthful of it.

Xiao Yi was a bit frightened, seeing his expression Luzhou waved his hand, indicating everything’s fine. After that Luzhou take off the emperor robe he is wearing, exposing the nocturnal robes under it.

He stood in front of the camera, face was hidden behind a black mask and start running away. At the bottom of the palace wall, he demonstrate some martial art movements that the martial art teacher previously teaches him and give him some pointers.

“Perfect!” The director said, “Let’s end it here, we’ll call it a day!”

Everyone exaltedly removing their make-up and taking off their outfits and ornaments.

Xiao Yi looked at his watch, it is currently 11:00 pm.

“Go back and rest, especially the people who just joined the group, look at the schedule for tomorrow and arrive at 7 o’clock at the dressing room.” Said the director, “In the morning, we will be taking picture with makeup and costume.

Xiao Yi is dying of exhaustion, waiting for Luzhou to change out of the costume, arriving at the hotel is already pa.s.sed 12, Xiao Yi asked: “Dinner?”

Luzhou sitting on the couch, look a little lonely but didn’t speak a word.

Xiao Yi asked the second time, Luzhou then snap out of it and said: “No, you can go.”

Xiao Yi: “…….”

Luzhou waved: “I hasn’t recovered yet, go to sleep.”

Xiao Yi went back to his room, only thought about one thing: Filming is truly difficult.

(T/N: What Luzhou mean is that the feelings of A Baoji witnessing his own brother dying is still linger in him)

After taking a shower and prepared clothing, it is 1:30, 6:30 he have to wake up, only have 5 hours to sleep.
