Chapter 852: Chapter 851 Filming Picture City 2

Actually, every time we filmed, the crew and director generally did not follow the chronological order, but achieved the final movie and TV drama through post-production editing.

Post-production special effects editing was crucial, as a good movie could be ruined by a single detail from the production team, or become perfect through the cooperation of all staff.

Sometimes, due to other actors’ schedules, those who needed to act with them had to perform to the air, which particularly tested an actor’s acting skills.

Director Jiang might not be as famous as other directors, but his methods were extremely formidable. For example, under his supervision, there were never issues with image retention during shooting.

Perhaps due to the backing of Huayi Company, they had recruited many top movie stars whose schedules were generally packed and who were not willing to play supporting roles to a leading actress like Qiao Xiaren.

But for the sake of Huayi, they turned up.

Among them, Xiaren and Yurou were the least experienced. Concerning scheduling, their agents were already negotiating with Director Jiang’s assistant.

“Ready all production units, action!”

The clapboard slammed, and Xiaren had already made her entrance. The scene being filmed today marked the eventual rise of an emperor.

The resplendent Palace, ministers kneeled on both sides in welcome.

The doors slowly opened, carrying a sense of historical antiquity.

The newly emerged emperor, the first female emperor in history, would soon face her first meeting with her court officials.

Xiaren wore a gown made of golden silk, opulent and rich in color. At her entrance, that touch of gold deeply moved everyone’s visual senses.

Graceful yet commanding, luxurious yet lightly floating.

Behind her followed two Palace Maids holding fans and two eunuchs respectfully by her side.

A eunuch behind her carried the long train of Her Majesty, following the steps of the empress.

This scene was particularly a test of Xiaren’s acting skills. Without any dialogue, without any descriptive expressions, she had to convey Di Ge’s emotions, deeply and complexly.

From a sheltered noble lady to an empress who ascended over countless corpses, to ultimately becoming the cold-blooded, ruthless major boss, cruel and indifferent.

Finally reaching the throne, yet feeling the loneliness high above.

The camera slowly zoomed in, Xiaren’s eyes devoid of any human warmth–not dead, but piercingly cold, silencing everyone around her.

Her gaze was strange, as if carrying shards of ice, sweeping around faintly, without a trace of human warmth, suffocation caught in the throat.

As if a single glance from her might result in–

Even Shen Zheng, who played a courtier, was stunned by the momentum in her eyes.

Each step she took was extremely steady.

Finally arriving at the throne, her right hand slightly waved, and as her robe flew in mid-air for a moment, Di Ge sat on the throne, her imposing aura sharp and commanding respect.

“Long live the empress, long live, long live.”

“Esteemed officials, rise.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

“Your Majesty, if I may,” Lord Ximen, played by Shen Zheng, came forward, bowing respectfully, “Your Majesty has ascended to the throne smoothly; perhaps consider using those hostages to fill the Harem, which could also appease the kings of enemy states. I wonder if Your Majesty has any other thoughts?”

As Lord Ximen’s words fell, no one dared to respond below, all unsure of what the female emperor thought.

A deathly silence; those old cunning heads who even argued fervently in the great hall until their faces turned red, today in front of this young female emperor, dared not display their cleverness.
