偷窥闺房

After Lin Xiaowan arrived at the set, she got her makeup done. The entire process took more than four hours to complete. Her makeup was not very different from yesterday, but it took more time today to paint the golden incantation on her body.

When filming finally started, Lin Xiaowan discovered that although her role had very few scenes, it would still take a long time to film a scene. In fact, this did not have much to do with her because she was just sitting and reciting her lines. However, the lead actors were different. They had to be filmed from different angles, and they had to repeat their lines over and over again, which took a lot of time.

In the end, the scene took half the afternoon to shoot.

When Lin Xiaowan was filming the last shot, she raised her hand to her mouth and lowered her head before she yawned. After that, she looked around carefully, afraid of being discovered. Fortunately, everyone’s attention was focused on the group of passionate and fierce protagonists.

After so many takes, Lin Xiaowan was no longer as energetic as she was in the beginning. She propped her elbows on the side and said her lines coldly and nonchalantly before staring at the others.

The filming process was not as difficult as she had imagined, and she said her lines without any difficulties. However, in the beginning, her voice trembled slightly when she said her lines due to nervousness. She was not so good that she could pass with just one take. Nonetheless, Gu Yuwu and the director still praised her performance.

Apart from that, she also found that it was not as interesting as she had imagined. In the past, she had occasionally watched some behind-the-scenes videos and found them interesting. It was very common for actors to forget and say the wrong lines, and everyone would laugh about it. She had found it interesting at that time. However, now that she was experiencing it for herself, she found it different. It was not that it was not interesting, but after repeating it so many times, she grew bored.

At the same time, the director was watching everything from behind the cameras. He inevitably saw Lin Xiaowan secretly yawning and acting as though nothing happened, and he thought that it fitted the scene perfectly. He replayed it again and asked another person, “What do you think?”

“The timing of her yawn is perfect. It shows her indifference to the common people and her boredom after living a long and lonely life. Moreover, this is a long shot. Microexpressions aren’t really important. This small detail is just nice. It’ll make people wonder why the seemingly indifferent goddess chose to help everyone in the end instead of destroying the world.”

The director nodded in agreement. He said, “1 feel like the character of the goddess will attract a lot of fans after the drama airs even though the goddess’ scenes aren’t a lot.”

The goddess was a tragic character, to begin with. However, her selfishness and jealousy made her seem less tragic. However, the way Lin Xiaowan played the role seemed to give the aloof goddess a little more humanity, which made the character more likable.

The more the director watched, the more satisfied he felt. He said, “The casting for the goddess is really good. I was afraid that the character would only be seen as a villain and that people would forget about her origin…”

The director felt that there was no longer any need to worry about Lin Xiaowan’s acting. Moreover, her voice would be dubbed over by a voice actor. There was really nothing that could be done about this. After all, although she looked and acted the part of the goddess, her soft voice did not match the character at all.

When the filming of the scene ended, Lin Xiaowan quickly received her salary from the production team. Although she had generously transferred the money to Huo Zheng before this, she still wanted to give him something. After all, she rarely gave him anything. There were not many things that Huo Zheng needed, and she also had limited experience in giving gifts.

She was troubled by what to buy for Huo Zheng for a while, but she finally had an idea during one of her lessons with Xiao Han. She suddenly thought of painting something for Huo Zheng.

She thought about painting a lion dressed in a black suit and a tie, which was supposed to represent Huo Zheng, casually holding a bouquet of flowers. In her opinion, he was like a lion, the king of beasts. He was imposing and majestic in her eyes.

Huo Zheng’s birthday was in two months, and she felt that she would definitely be able to learn more by then from Xiao Han and Hong Minhua.

Meanwhile, Xiao Han put down his brush and looked at the distracted Lin Xiaowan before he asked, “Junior Sister, it seems like you have something on your mind today?”

Lin Xiaowan returned to her senses. She smiled sheepishly when she realized that she had been caught distracted while in class. She said shyly, “I was just wondering when I’ll be able to start painting.”

So far, Lin Xiaowan had only been learning how to sketch and shade. She had yet to use watercolors. She could not wait to fill her sketches with color, which would give her a sense of accomplishment and happiness. Initially, she had been very interested in her black-and-white sketches. However, as time passed, she grew bored and could not wait to move on.

Lin Xiaowan put the pencil in her hand down and relaxed her posture as she said, “I want to learn how to paint…”

She found watercolors very beautiful.

Seeing this, Xiao Han persuaded her patiently. “Just practice the basics for two more days, okay? With a solid foundation, it’ll be easier for you in the future…”

Lin Xiaowan felt rather unwilling. However, she did not reveal her true thoughts since she was not very familiar with Xiao Han. In the end, she was too embarrassed to say anything and could only continue drawing.

If Xiao Han were Huo Zheng in this situation, she would not have picked up her pencil. Instead, she would have gone over and persuaded Huo Zheng to let her paint. She would be able to do what she wanted to do instead of continuing to draw.

Perhaps it was due to her restlessness and boredom, Lin Xiaowan’s sketches became rather messy.

Xiao Han could only sigh helplessly when he saw her sketches. It was obvious that she was not very passionate about art. At most, she was just slightly interested. For someone like him who was passionate about art and was inexplicably obsessed with it, he should have felt angry about Lin Xiaowan’s halfheartedness. However, when he watched her sketching unwillingly, he only felt helpless and thought that she was a little cute.

Xiao Han shook his head and dismissed the strange thoughts in his mind before he finally said, “Alright, if you don’t want to draw, we can end our lesson earlier today.”

Upon hearing these words, Lin Xiaowan stopped her movements. She did not put the pencil down, but she did not continue drawing either. Instead, she only looked at him with the pencil in her hand..
