Although the filming set was a tough place to be, there were also some interesting things.
The on - set director and the crew all treated Qin Qiao'er very well. One day, Qin Qiao'er was alone in the work shed, carefully studying the script. Just then, a pair of hands landed on her shoulders and gave a gentle pat.
Qin Qiao'er turned her head and saw a strikingly handsome face.
The man opposite was wearing an ancient - style hairpiece. He had a handsome face and fair skin. Even in the scorching summer, there was not a trace of body odor on him. Instead, he exuded an otherworldly aura.
"So it's you, Xia Hankong. Why are you here?" She gave a charming smile.
The ancient - costume drama she was filming was essentially an idol drama, so the costumes and makeup were quite modern.
At this moment, she was wearing a pink ancient - style gauze dress. She looked charming, with her thick black hair coiled up on her head, revealing her swan - like neck.
Xia Hankong walked over. Although he was a rising star with a large fan base, an actor of his status might not be expected to show much respect to her.
However, he defied expectations. He walked up to her respectfully, bent slightly, and said, "Hello, Sister Qiao'er. What are you doing? Studying the script?"
Then he walked over with a beaming smile. He was already good - looking, and his public persona was that of a bright and straightforward person. Although he usually liked to smile, he had never looked as good as he did now.
Qin Qiao'er took a few extra glances at him. After all, she was a bit of a looks - oriented person. She would always take a second look at good - looking people. There were so many troubles in the world, so why not look at something pleasing to the eye?
"You don't have to be so formal with me. By the way, come and take a look. Don't we have a scene together coming up?" As she said this, she quickly leaned towards him and held the script in front of his eyes.
She was so carefree that she didn't notice that her actions were a bit too intimate. Xia Hankong stiffened slightly and couldn't help but look at her.
From Xia Hankong's angle, he could clearly see Qin Qiao'er's fair and delicate skin and her swan - like neck. She exuded a faint floral fragrance, which made him feel relaxed and happy.
He was startled. Realizing that his reaction had been a bit off, he immediately shifted his gaze to the script and began to study it carefully.
"It seems we do have a scene together. How about we rehearse it right now? I haven't even memorized my lines yet."
His words were exactly what Qin Qiao'er wanted to hear. She immediately clapped her hands and agreed, "Sure! Let's rehearse the lines right here."
There weren't many crew members in the work shed at this time. Only a few other actors were chatting nearby and didn't pay attention to the two of them.
Qin Qiao'er stood up, holding a prop ancient sword in both hands.
"This is my personal sword." She smiled and said this in a light - hearted tone.
Xia Hankong smiled and then took out a sword and pointed it at her. "Okay, I'm going to attack."
"Come on."
The two immediately started to act out a fight scene with their prop swords in the air, following the instructions of the martial - arts choreographer. In this drama, Qin Qiao'er played a willful princess who knew a bit of martial arts, while the male lead, played by Xia Hankong, was a handsome and amorous prince.
By chance, the two met through a fight and eventually became a bickering couple.
The setting of this drama was in the world of the martial arts and the imperial court, so there were bound to be some fight scenes.
This was quite a challenge for Qin Qiao'er. Although the character of the willful princess was somewhat similar to her real personality in the early stage, there would be a drastic change later on.
The female and male leads drifted apart due to misunderstandings. At this time, Qin Qiao'er's character realized her deep love for the male lead. Coupled with the tragic events such as the destruction of her family, she became more profound and resilient.
This drama was a comedy in the early stage and turned into a tragic one later on, but the ending was happy.
This was also the reason why Qin Qiao'er took on this role. Only a character with such a significant personality change could showcase her acting skills.
The two fought back and forth. Their movements were slow but relatively standard.
Moreover, there would be various special effects and fast - forwarding when it was aired on TV, so the final effect would still be good.
"How dare you block my way! Take this!" She quickly dashed in front of Xia Hankong and stabbed at his chest with the sword.
Xia Hankong was not one to back down. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, making his handsome face even more profound. His eyes were filled with so much tenderness that it seemed to overflow.
"Little girl, your temper is really too hot. Be careful you won't be able to get married in the future!"
His words instantly enraged Qin Qiao'er. "How dare you say I won't be able to get married! I'm going to fight you to the death today!"
The two quickly got locked in a fierce fight again.
Just now, they were just rehearsing the lines. They fought back and forth vigorously. Although to outsiders it might seem like children playing around, for them, who were just starting to learn these martial - arts moves, it was quite tiring.
Qin Qiao'er threw her prop ancient sword on the ground and sat down on her small folding stool wearily, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"Gosh, I'm so tired. Are you tired? I didn't expect you to have your lines down so well. Are you sure you haven't read the script before?"
Xia Hankong was in a better state than her and not as tired. He dragged a small stool from the side and sat next to her, staring intently at her. "I just glanced at it casually. I have a good memory."
"Are you really that good? I'm impressed." As she said this, she clasped her fists in front of her.
The two's every move during the sword - fighting and line - rehearsing had already caught the attention of the others in the work shed. They had been chatting there, but unexpectedly, the two started to act out the scene.
They simply sat down to watch the show and occasionally commented on it.
