After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 607 Rejecting Energy Bars

"How was your first official scene?"

It's already 2 PM, and the morning's scenes have been successfully completed.

Although the process is quite long, it's because in such a large scene, in addition to wide shots, many cameras are needed to capture close-ups and extreme close-ups of individuals, which is why the whole process takes so long.

At this moment, Ye Sanqing had changed out of his costume robe and put on an ordinary coat. He and Sheng Hanyu were having lunch at the temporary dining area set up outside.

"I feel so hungry."

This was Ye Sanqing's first thought.

I should have eaten something after putting on makeup... Xiaoyou brought something, but only energy bars.

Energy bars!

Although she knew this stuff tasted different from what she had in the interstellar era, she still completely lost her appetite whenever she saw energy bars or nutritional pastes...

"That's right, we're already lucky if we can sit down and eat now. Actors often have irregular meal times, which can cause stomach problems."

Sheng Hanyu said.

This wasn't his first time acting; he had experience working on Director Guo's film crew before.

Fortunately, it's a modern film, so the clothes and everything else are much more convenient. Sometimes you can just eat a boxed lunch.

He's not only in period costume now, but all in white, and he has scenes to film this afternoon...

You have to be careful when eating, and try not to get your clothes dirty.

So Sheng Hanyu's lunch was different from Ye Sanqing's; his was a wrap...

The production team prepared several kinds of food that can be rolled up, are bite-sized, and don't crumble, including hamburgers, sandwiches, and chicken wraps, but without sauce.

The main reason for this consideration was that it would be troublesome to get the costumes dirty when filming period dramas.

The drinks or soup were packaged in stand-up pouches, the kind with spouts that are commonly used for soy milk.

The cost will certainly increase, but compared to the time and expense of cleaning up dirty costumes... it's still more worthwhile.

Ye Sanqing was eating a regular set meal, three dishes and a soup, packed in a fast food container.

Actually, no, one box wasn't enough for her, so she took a little of everything.

Ye Sanqing had no worries about getting her clothes dirty. She was very satisfied with Dugu Rang's styling design. She only needed to change her coat. At first glance, it looked no different from modern clothes, which was great!

"But I really don't want to eat energy bars or nutritional pastes..."

Ye Sanqing said with distress.

"Oh, I have some portable food. I'll share some with you first, and then I'll send the list to Xiaoyou so she can buy some."

This is indeed a problem, because generally speaking, besides these, the only food that can provide high calories is chocolate.

But chocolate also has its risks; if it melts and spills out, that would be terrible...

Therefore, Sheng Hanyu was prepared for this and selected several types that would never get her hands or clothes dirty.

"What kind of portable food?"

"Jelly can't be considered a nutritional paste, right? Of course it's not real jelly. It's made into something like a jelly you can suck on, which is also a dessert. There are also small, bite-sized freeze-dried fruits. And chocolate balls, but they're individually wrapped, and in old-fashioned packaging, the kind that comes in small, flat metal boxes."

"You really are quite thoughtful."

Ye Sanqing smiled.

All of these sound reasonable.

It seems that Sheng Hanyu has many more functions now. Isn't this something that the food minister usually considers?

"After filming a movie once, I understood that small-batch, portable food without odor or juice is the most convenient. Of course, the most basic pork jerky and beef jerky are also available, as well as candy and the like."

"Okay, give me some of these, I'll eat them and then they can go buy more."

"Besides being hungry, what other thoughts are you having?"

"Being a cult leader isn't easy."

Ye Sanqing naturally didn't have any NGs during her morning filming, because for her, sitting in the main hall and putting on a serious or murderous expression wasn't too difficult...

The only slightly troublesome thing is that when shooting close-ups, you need to immediately bring back the emotions from the previous moment.

But Dugu Rang wasn't a character with many expressions, so this wasn't particularly difficult.

"Today's scene is an ensemble piece, so there will be a more complicated process. If there are fewer characters, it will go by faster."

At this moment, Qi Nanzhao came over with a lunchbox from the side. She sat down next to Ye Sanqing and explained.

"The director is here."

"Thank you for your hard work, director."

The two immediately greeted him.

"Haha, thank goodness, it's not as hard as you all have worked... By the way, do we really need to be so polite?"

Qi Nanzhao laughed after he finished speaking.

"It's not just being polite, I genuinely feel for you working so hard, and you're only eating now?"

Ye Sanqing asked.

The director may seem to only need to sit behind the monitor, but in reality, they have to oversee the entire operation and issue various instructions...

The difficulty is no less than playing a game of Civilization!

Something seems wrong...

"I just went through the afternoon's schedule. After you've finished your makeup, I'll have two hours to eat and rest."

Qi Nanzhao was also hungry, and started eating quickly without any regard for his image.

As the chief director, she was under a lot of pressure. Considering her age and experience, it was indeed beyond her scope.

However, Ren Junxiao and Dao Wu both placed a great deal of trust in her, so she had to do this job well.

Fortunately, the director only needs to oversee the key scenes, which today included Ye Sanqing's appearance.

She will be with us in the afternoon for the scenes inside the palace, while the assistant director will handle the other scenes.

These other scenes are usually outdoor shots, scenes with extras, transition shots, etc., and there shouldn't be any problems. You just need to shoot more footage for backup.

"Then we'll go touch up our makeup and change clothes first. Eat slowly, I'll bring soup to everyone tonight."

Sheng Hanyu said goodbye and left with Ye Sanqing.

"You even prepared soup?"

On the way back to the dressing room, Ye Sanqing asked curiously.

"Are you going back to the dressing room? Don't you need to take a nap in the RV? I didn't prepare this; it was Nangong. He just texted me saying he felt we were working very hard, so he ordered soup from the hotel to be delivered as a late-night snack."

"He didn't want to make a fuss this time, so he said it was a gift from me."

Sheng Hanyu smiled helplessly, "He probably thinks that with reporters still around, he doesn't want to be photographed delivering soup or anything like that."

“I’ll just go to the dressing room, it won’t take long, and I’m not sleepy. I don’t need to go back to the RV. He didn’t notice this last time he came…”

Ye Sanqing complained.

If she remembered correctly, Nangong Wang had come to visit the set in a rather extravagant manner last time, by helicopter, right?

"There were no reporters back then. Although he liked excitement, he didn't really like this kind of thing. Let him be. Anyway, it's good to have soup to drink."

"Okay, that's all for now, see you in a bit."

Back in the dressing room, the makeup artists were just as ready as they had been that morning.

Ye Sanqing sat down and thought to himself, "Their condition is really similar to that of someone in a war."
