[US Entertainment] The Legend of Shen Nong Heroes

~~~~~ Don’t think that you are the queen’s property, so I dare not make you a deep well roast goose! ~~~~~

Three days later, Yue Xi received a letter from director Percival, which of course congratulated her for getting the role of Caroline.Looking at Percival's beautiful font, Yuexi felt a little moved.In this day and age, people either use text messages or emails, and no one really writes handwritten letters.

The letter also informed Yue Xi to go to the independent TV station ITV for a meeting on the weekend, and before the filming started, all the actors, directors, and producers had to meet together first.

In the meeting room of itv, Yuexi saw Tarun, "It seems that you still got the role of Albert?"

"Yes." Talen nodded happily, "Mr. Percival was very satisfied with your performance during the audition with me, so he gave me the role."

"Do you know the other candidates?" Yue Xi sat next to Tarun, she hadn't seen other actors coming yet.

"Edward is played by Johnny Lee Miller, George is played by Richard Armitage, and Anne is played by Rosamund Pike." Tarun has been working with the director, so he knows a lot matter.

"Julie's ex-husband, the male lead in the south and the north, and the 007 girl." Yuexi thinks this lineup is quite interesting, and everyone has distinct characteristics.But they are all British, only one is Chinese.

Soon, the people mentioned by Tarun arrived.It's just that Pike is still filming, so he didn't come today.

Yuexi, Miller and Armitage got to know each other for a while, and then sat down to listen to the director's speech.On the way, Yue Xi drove off on a errand, secretly observing the three actors she was about to collaborate with.

Miller is not considered handsome, but he still has the aristocratic temperament of England.And his accent is very charming, but Yuexi can't tell where it is from.

Armitage is absolutely perfect. At first glance, he looks like Hugh Jackman, the actor who plays Wolverine, but he doesn't have the sexiness of a wild man imposed by Hollywood. Instead, he will make people think he is very emotional.

Tarun is cute, Yuexi already knows that.

"Our filming location is in Bath, which is very close to London. But we still prepared a caravan for everyone, so that you don't have to drive to and from work early in the morning and enjoy the bad traffic with commuters." Pai Xiwei joked , while telling the filming situation to several leading actors. "And you will have a special etiquette course before the shooting. I hope everyone can learn it well, otherwise the teacher at the shooting scene will carry a horsewhip with him."

The corners of Yuexi's mouth twitched, she really didn't know whether the director was joking or serious at the moment.

The miniseries only has six 60-minute episodes, so it won't take too long to film.If all goes well, it can be completed in a month or so.At that time, Li had already completed the filming of "Star Assistant".

In Bath, where the filming took place, Yuexi had to have an etiquette lesson with the main actors.This course is just a warm-up, and they will learn more knowledge together during filming.Coming to the castle first is to allow the actors to better integrate into the atmosphere.

Yuexi originally thought that she had never been in touch with British aristocratic etiquette, and it would be the most difficult one to learn, but unexpectedly, everyone had a headache.However, Yuexi not only has to learn the etiquette of the noble ladies, but also the servants, and the learning task is the heaviest one.

During the reign of Queen Victoria in the [-]th century, the feudal tradition was still very strong.The daily life of the nobility is imprisoned by various cumbersome rules, and life is very depressing.But at the same time, the impact of the industrial revolution made the life of the nobles less comfortable than before.Many young people yearn for a free life, and they hope to be in charge of their married life.

Yuexi was wearing a long black dress, the style was very rigid, because it was worn by maids.She was wearing a white apron with lace trim, which looked very cute.The hair is tied up, but there is a pearl hairpin on the bun, which looks very delicate.

"Has anyone ever told you that your hair is beautiful?" Tarun stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Yuexi's hair.

"Sir, I'm going back to work." Yue Xi dodged, she shook hands uneasily, and walked away quickly.As a maid, she should be very busy.To help the master prepare clothes, the nobles have to change their clothes many times a day to cope with various occasions.At the same time, the maid is also responsible for three meals and afternoon tea, so there is no time for dating.

But Caroline is Edward's illegitimate daughter, so she doesn't have to do many things.Even Edward arranged a maid for her so that she would not be so tired.This is one of the reasons why everyone in the castle thinks Caroline is Edward's mistress.

"Cynthia, you need to straighten your back a little more. Although you are a maid, don't forget your true identity." A professor of history at Oxford reminded him that he was the etiquette guide for this TV series.

"Okay." Yue Xi took a half breath, her corset was so tight that she couldn't take a deep breath at all.The lack of oxygen in her head felt bad, and she had trouble remembering her lines, "Oh my god, this is torture."

"It's rehearsal now, let the costume designer help you relax." Richard said very intimately.

"Thank you, but I can't. I hope I've gotten used to this feeling during the official performance." Yuexi walked to the edge of the stream, hoping to get a breath of fresh air.

At this time, she suddenly saw a swan swimming leisurely in the stream, the curve of its neck was very beautiful.

"You look more like a lady than me." Yue Xi said with a smile.

The swan seemed to understand Yue Xi's words, and turned to look at her.

"What are you looking at, I roasted you." Yue Xi yelled out because of the corset making her very uncomfortable, purely to vent.

But the swan seemed to be really irritated, it quickly paddled to the shore, and then chased towards Yue Xi.

"Oh my god!" Yuexi exclaimed, and then she remembered the tragic past when she was a child and went back to her mother's hometown, and was chased by a big white goose and pecked several fields.

"What's the matter, Cynthia?" Tarun was the closest to the creek, and he immediately ran to Yuexi.But he couldn't do anything when he saw the swan, after all, it was the Queen's property.He had no choice but to hold Yue Xi's hand, and also started to run away.

"What's going on?" Richard also heard the movement, and before he took a few steps, he saw two people and a swan running towards him, "Oh, swan!"

"Richard, go and drive that goose away!" Yue Xi thought Tarun was too young and too young to confront the swan.

"No, no, I can't." Richard shook his head helplessly, and hid with the two of them.

"Why?" Yuexi glanced at Richard, even if he is not Wolverine, but at least 189, is he also afraid of a goose?

"Because the swan is the queen's property." Johnny picked up a branch and threw it behind the swan.

"That's a goose, not a dog!" Yuexi had had enough, "Your capitalist society is really evil!"

The four of them ran back to the castle in one breath, and Yue Xi was about to be strangled by the corset and fainted.She leaned against the window, looking at the stream vigilantly, "Will that goose remember me, and keep chasing and biting me?"

"Very likely." Talen, Richard, and Johnny replied in unison.

"Oh, god!" Yuexi held her forehead, and now she just wanted to leave this beautiful English countryside as soon as possible.

Bath is a very beautiful town in England, where Jane Austen wrote the immortal masterpiece "Pride and Prejudice".The director chose this place not only because of the beautiful scenery, but also because of the strong cultural atmosphere here.

But because of this ferocious swan, Yuexi left an indelible shadow in her heart.And several British men also said that the swan is the Queen's property, not to mention roasting it for eating, and they dare not even touch it.

"Honey, do you know how fierce that swan is?" Yue Xi had to complain to Li on the phone.

"I'll come over as soon as I finish filming." Li's scene was about to finish filming, and he wished he could go there to protect his princess right away.

As soon as filming on "The Assistant" wrapped, Lee rushed to Bath.He paid his own money to live in a family hotel close to the shooting location, and went to spy on the swan from time to time.

"Who is that person?" During the interval between shots, Richard looked at Li standing by the stream through the curtain.Although I think he should be a member of the crew, Richard really has no image of someone who is taller than himself.

"That's my boyfriend." Yue Xi smiled, "He has 196, Richard."

Li came to the crew from time to time, and the director noticed it.He saw that Li was handsome, so in order not to affect the shooting, he simply let him put on a costume and patrol the stream.Even if it is photographed in the camera, it will not be worn out.

"Wow, that's high." Richard exclaimed, "Then why is he standing by the stream?"

"Oh, he's..." Before Yuexi finished speaking, the bully swan came ashore from the creek, and then ran wildly after Li, "God, Richard, go help!"

"This is the Queen's swan!" Richard roared as he ran out.But he couldn't do anything after running past, he could only be chased and pecked by the swan.

"Hahaha, what kind of religious ceremony is this?" Tarun watched enthusiastically and laughed.

"The goose driver." Yue Xi also laughed, completely ignoring the two men who were chased by swans and had nowhere to escape.

"Is he really your boyfriend?" Johnny really doesn't understand women, especially the beautiful ones.

"Okay." Yuexi took a deep breath, she got used to the corset a little bit today.Holding the hem of her skirt, Yue Xi ran out of the castle, and chased the geese with the two old boys.

But the result was still tragic. The swan seemed to remember the leading actors of the film crew. Every time they approached the stream, the swan would gallop over to attack them.

Later Percival even had to build a fence around the stream in case the swan came ashore and hurt anyone.

But even so, there are still some people in the crew who are not afraid of the swan.And this person is also a lady, Rosamund Pike.

"It's not fair." Yuexi looked at the shore vigilantly, although there was already a fence, but there was no guarantee that the cunning swan would come ashore from other places.

"Children only talk about fairness." Rosamund smiled slightly, like an aristocratic lady, "If Edward could officially marry your mother back then, even if it was an alcoholic priest, you would There will be an identity. But now you are just an illegitimate daughter, and my father will never allow Albert to marry you. It is a step backward for him to agree to you as his mistress."

"Then I'd rather leave him." Yue Xi touched the ruby ​​necklace on her chest, which was a gift from Edward.And after he gave her this necklace, he died unexpectedly.

"You want to go back to the Far East?" Rosamund's blue eyes widened, and the noble lady who didn't show her emotions easily was a little flustered at the moment, "Then my nephew will die of a broken heart."

"What about my dignity, my heart, and my love?" Yuexi stood up, and she looked at Tarun in the distance, and Tarun was also watching the stream and the swan.

"Cut!" Even though all the actors were made nervous by the swan, Percival was very satisfied with the inadvertently revealed nervousness.After all, this is a helpless love story. Everyone is oppressed by feudal ethics, just like the actors are ruled by the terror of swans.
