"Action..." Warming and Chen Hang walked to the performance area. After a period of building up the atmosphere, the script supervisor clapped the clapboard, signaling the start of the performance. Warming's movements and poses were elegant and graceful, yet she never overstepped and obstructed Chen Hang's scenes; her actions were very flexible.

Her eyes, filled with affectionate emotions, slowly turned to look at Prince Nalan, conveying more than a thousand words of unspoken feelings. She exuded a gentle and passionate demeanor that highlighted the tender femininity like flowing water.

Director Zhang nodded frequently in approval; with excellent performances from both sides, Chen Hang's acting skills were also impressive. Both actors vividly portrayed the emotions of parting and reluctance, as well as Prince Nalan’s ambition to soar high and Princess Xiangxiang's mixture of loss and support.

The kiss scene was shot using a technique that avoided direct contact, which was Warming's request, and Chen Hang had no objections. The final scene involved Princess Xiangxiang playing her flute while looking tenderly at her love riding further and further away on a white horse with sad eyes.

The music was melodious and deep in emotion, tinged with a faint sense of melancholy.

This scene went smoothly, and Warming breathed a sigh of relief. Director Zhang observed the effect and gave another glance at Warming. Indeed, she seemed to be naturally suited for this role. As they moved on to Zhao Bingbing's scenes, Warming took a break, and Cai Xiaoqing brought her a bottle of ice-pure water.

Gu Yiting walked over with an assistant; the scene between Gu Yiting and Warming was shot separately, so they rarely interacted. This was the first time Gu Yiting approached Warming, looking down on her somewhat. "Warming, who in An Ning International did you climb up to"

Warming was taken aback; she didn't understand what Gu Yiting meant. Gu Yiting sneered and looked down at Warming disdainfully, saying, "If you hadn’t climbed onto someone’s ladder, how could you have gotten the role of Princess Xiangxiang"

Over the past month or so, she had told herself to be patient; originally, she should have been the female lead in this drama but was snatched away by Warming. She ended up playing a minor character instead.

Sighing resentfully, the young master of Haichen had merely told her that this time, International Anning was going to promote someone else and would give her another chance next time. Her role simply flew away with such a simple reason. She felt quite aggrieved.

On set, she saw Director Zhang’s warmth and affection towards the director and actors alike. They got along very well as everyone seemed at ease around each other. Director Zhang had added more scenes for her, and the costume and styling of every detail in Director Nuan’s drama was better than that of the main female lead. The cost of clothing alone was the highest among the entire cast and crew. She was even more convinced now that someone must be secretly supporting Director Nuan or else she wouldn’t receive such treatment.

"I have no idea what you are talking about," said Nuan, not wanting to engage with her.

Gu Yiting wasn't well-liked in the crew. The actresses didn't like her much and seldom invited her out for meals or entertainment.

"Don’t pretend you don’t know anything. Tell me who you’re sleeping with" Gu Yiting said, being quite rude.

Cai Xiaojing was about to speak when Nuan stood up and smiled sweetly, "Is it necessary for one to be sleeping with someone in order to get a role We all auditioned together. The director chose the roles. What are you talking about"

The two of them argued loudly. Other people nearby also heard their quarrel. An actress who had been around in the industry and was familiar with everyone came over and pulled Nuan aside, "Forget it. Don’t talk to someone so envious. Let’s go play mahjong."

Director Zhang stopped shooting for a while and looked at them arguing. He shook his head and couldn’t care less about the rivalry between actors. As long as they did well in their roles, that was all he cared about.

In fact, he had originally wanted to cast Gu Yiting as Princess Xiangxiang but he strongly recommended Nuan. However, the investors insisted on Gu Yiting. He didn’t have enough power to change anything then, but the next day, the choice changed and it was decided that Nuan would be playing the role.

Although he wasn’t quite sure why, he felt happy since his preferred actor had been chosen.

Nuan playing this role made him very satisfied. He added more scenes for her. If Gu Yiting were to play it, well, everyone knew about his reputation as a strict editor who would cut out roles that weren’t important. Even if she played the part, he wouldn’t hesitate in cutting her down.

Gu Yiting stamped her foot and turned away angrily. Cai Xiaojing received a phone call and had to leave for something urgent. Seeing how Nuan hadn’t been bullied by anyone on set for more than a month now, she felt somewhat relieved as Gu Yiting didn't seem to have the strength to fight back either. She gave Nuan some instructions before leaving.

A few people were playing Mahjong: Landlord nearby, and those women all laughed, saying that Renmian's agent treats Renmian like a child to nurture, but their agents don't care for them at all; they wouldn’t be in the studio every day陪著她們。

While playing Mahjong: Landlord, they were also discussing gossip about the entertainment industry. Warmth overheard that Ye Feimo recently had rumors spreading with someone, and someone was saying that Young Master Ye was going to promote yet another someone. She felt puzzled.

This guy still hasn't changed his nature.

Recently, he had been spreading more rumors about dating a female singer and a female model. Warmth was curious as to why he wasn’t being rumored about dating Han Bi at all despite the rampant speculation.

Han Bi actually started dating Gu Rui and seemed interested in working with Fang Liucheng's company, so there were reports that she would be participating in a film production collaboration between Huayun Entertainment and Fang’s investment.

They say it is the annual major work of Huayun Entertainment.

Han Bi has reached this stage where there are many good movies waiting for her to choose from, whether artistic or commercial films. She can handle them all; she also looks timeless and versatile with great potential.

In the afternoon, Director Zhang gathered all the actors of the crew together because they wanted to speed up their progress in order to finish shooting this play before the Lunar New Year. So starting from today, night shifts would commence.

The main cast complained bitterly as night shifts were about to begin and Warmth was no exception.

Starting night shift work today.

After receiving this news, Warmth called Ye Feimo, "Ye Feimo, I have to work the night shift tonight. You prepare your own food."

"What time is it"

"I don't know."

"Annoying, I can tolerate you going out early and coming back late, but why do you even have to work night shifts You're busier than me," Ye Feimo said with a poor tone.

Warm, "Uh, the assistant director is calling me. Gotta go."

She hung up the call and switched off her phone to avoid Ye Feimo's call and complaints.

She also lived in the Mingcheng apartment complex, even though she stayed below Ye Feimo’s place. However, there was no difference compared to living together; they did not need an extra rental unit. Ye Feimo had a rather odd personality, with obsessive cleanliness too, so he didn't like others entering his private space except for housekeeping.

He always relied on Warm for his meals—breakfast, lunch and dinner. She never missed one meal for him.

Whether it was because she had pampered him to the point where he got used to her care or not, Ye Ershao could not do without Warm either. Even if she were exhausted from work on set, she would still have to go back home and cook for him upon returning. Of course, she did all this willingly.

And there was once when she returned too late and fell asleep, so the next day she left early and forgot about preparing breakfast and lunch for him. His stomach ailment flared up, scaring Warm to death. From then on, she dared not slack off any longer; if she went out to play, she would definitely inform Ye Feimo to take care of his meals himself.

Her job was already very demanding in itself, and filming television dramas was tedious work. She had to spend most of her time in the film city where they shot their scenes. Sometimes she even needed to run multiple back-to-back schedules.

In “Pure Lotus Princess,” there were several musical segments originally planned for famous singers to perform. But due to budget constraints, the director decided to make do with the available resources—Warm’s and Chen Hang's voices were suitable too, so she had three interludes to sing and Zhu Bingbing had two interlude songs. The opening theme was performed by Zhu Bingbing and Chen Hang, while the ending song was sung solo by Warm. As she hadn't received professional vocal training, in order to perform at her best level, Warm sought help from Cai Xiaojing.

So after rushing through work in the afternoon, Warm sometimes had to return to Anning International for strict vocal training or attend events and shoot posters to promote "Pure Lotus Princess." She was busy with a myriad of tasks. have a lot of work with Mocen. Can you help us out""I'm taking care of the boss.""You're only taking care of him at home and nowhere else. You must be doing this on purpose!""Alright, I didn't slack...
