The following day was one other brilliant sunny day.

The movie crew was now within the areas south of the Yangtze River. In early April, flowers and crops had been already blooming in all places. Crimson peach blossoms, inexperienced willows, and rapeseed blossoms in full bloom signaled the completely happy and harmonious starting of spring.

Everybody on the morning shift was sleepy.

The one that labored with Ye Zhen was a senior script supervisor, a really form and skilled particular person generally known as Grasp Yao. Since he was the one who introduced her into this trade, she referred to as him “Grasp” straight. The moodiness of spring brought on Grasp Yao to be so sleepy that his phrases turned unintelligible. As an apprentice, Ye Zhen couldn’t stand it, so she took his script notes and mentioned, “Grasp, fall asleep. I’ll write it.”

Grasp Yao was relieved to listen to that. He replied nonchalantly and went to discover a place to lie down. He slept till midday, when the lunch containers had been distributed.

When Ye Zhen handed him the meals, the hard-working Grasp Yao was just a little embarrassed. He appeared extra intimate than regular and praised her as essentially the most proficient particular person he had ever seen. In fact, Ye Zhen wouldn’t admit it. She smiled and mentioned, “Grasp, you reward me a lot for a newcomer. The opposite seniors will snigger at you. Oh, talking of seniors, Grasp, what occurred to the particular person in my job earlier than? Did they stop or couldn’t come due to one thing else?”

“He mentioned he couldn’t come right here for one thing, however I feel he was too afraid to come back,” Grasp Yao mentioned, seemingly disenchanted. However he additionally mocked himself, “Alas, if you wish to keep on this enterprise, who can keep unafraid!”

Simply as she had heard yesterday, the departure of somebody from the crew was associated to Ye Yi’s affairs. In fact, at this level, Ye Zhen wasn’t silly to ask any extra questions. She wished to seek out an excuse to go to work first, however Grasp Yao worriedly admonished her, “You might have simply joined the trade, so hear extra and do extra. Discuss much less and make fewer errors, okay?”

“En.” Ye Zhen replied. When she heard him point out errors, she added, “About yesterday’s day by day report—”

Grasp Yao waved his hand and mentioned, “I’ve already met the coordinator and talked to him. It’s not a giant deal, so don’t fear. However there’s one factor. It appears that evidently the assistant initially wished to change to the script supervisor place. I suppose her coronary heart would nonetheless not have the ability to settle for it, so you need to steer clear of her.”

“Alright.”

Some folks, nonetheless, haven’t any method out, even when they wish to escape.

On the finish of the evening, Ye Zhen needed to go to the coordinator’s workplace as regular to submit the schedule, however for a number of days in a row, she bumped into the assistant coordinator named Xiao Lin. Each time, Xiao Lin would stare at Ye Zhen with watchful eyes, as if she was afraid that Ye Zhen would steal one thing. Since there was no separate workplace for the day by day reviews, the previous archives of the day by day reviews had been additionally borrowed from right here. Ye Zhen wished to look by way of the archives written by the earlier particular person in cost, however she couldn’t discover a method due to the assistant.

Xiao Lin’s vigilance in the direction of her was additionally suspicious.

Ye Zhen felt that this was not the best way to go. She was desirous about how you can make peace with Xiao Lin, however unexpectedly, the woman all of the sudden held again a giant transfer. Ye Zhen helped the prop crew by working an errand for them. When she returned to the workplace, she discovered that the day by day report she had recorded for that day had disappeared with no hint.

In the present day, the crew started filming the scene of excavation within the tomb of the “Treasure of the Nice Tang Dynasty”, the place a technology of burial items of the Imperial Concubine Yang Yuhuan revealed her true look. In accordance with the “Previous Ebook of Tang”, after the An-Shi Insurrection, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty returned to the capital and secretly despatched folks to maneuver Yang Guifei* to a different tomb. At the moment, her “pores and skin was broken, however the sachet was nonetheless there”.

[TL/N: “Guifei” is a title, which means “highest-ranking concubine”, given by Emperor Xuanzong to Yang Yuhuan after he married her.]

The film was a fictional story, however as a way to make it reasonable, the crew used their brains to make this essential film. With the assistance of historic information, they rented a studio to create the scene. They used plaster fashions to make the Tang Sancai* and even went to Jingdezhen to make the entire place appear to be an actual historic tomb. The actors filmed it again and again to ensure that a legendary magnificence would come again after a thousand years.

[TL/N: Tri-coloured glazed pottery of the Tang Dynasty]

It was simple to make it to the tip of the taking pictures, and all that was left was so as to add some close-ups. If the day by day report with every kind of particulars was not discovered, it could positively delay the taking pictures course of.

And it could additionally make everybody indignant.

Wanting on the busy figures within the crowd, Ye Zhen fell on Xiao Lin. She was pretending to assist the prop crew clear up the scene whereas intentionally transferring Tang Sancai away from its authentic place. Seeing that Ye Zhen was her, Xiao Lin appeared again calmly. However when she rotated, the corners of her mouth couldn’t assist however curl up.

She gave the impression to be very happy with herself.

Xiao Lin was daring and good, however she had messed with the flawed particular person. So, as an alternative of pretending to search for the day by day report, Ye Zhen simply put all the pieces again into place when she checked the scene. Not solely that, even the feel of the garments and the lengthy hair of the actors and actresses had been precisely the identical because the day by day report when Ye Zhen reported all the pieces verbally.

However this was a giant scene, protecting practically a thousand sq. toes and shot by dozens of individuals!

Ultimately, not solely did Xiao Lin have a look at her in horror, however the others additionally sensed that one thing was flawed. Seeing her empty fingers and her environment friendly work, Grasp Yao couldn’t assist however ask, “Are… Are you okay?”

[TL/N: So, basically she should have the daily report to look over every detail and check if everything is alright, but she doesn’t, so she did the whole work really well with just her memory.]

“It’s okay. It’s simply that the day by day report is lacking.”

Grasp Yao understood in a second, “Have you ever been tricked by somebody?”

“En.” Ye Zhen mentioned, nodding her head. Wanting into Grasp Yao’s fearful eyes, she mentioned frankly, “However it doesn’t matter. I’ve a really excessive retentive reminiscence, so writing the reviews is only for present.”

!!! 

Have been these the legendary rear waves of the Yangtze River, driving the entrance wave ahead and crashing it into the sandy seaside?* Grasp Yao lined his chest in agony.

[TL/N: It means that each new generation excels the previous. The younger generation will replace the old one eventually.]

Even the primary character, Xi Gu, noticed the indicators of latest developments. After work, he got here as much as her and requested, “I heard that you simply had been just a little low-key and overbearing at this time?”

“Even you realize about it.” So, how was I maintaining a low profile?

“I requested, and Ah Jue doesn’t know but. Hahaha~”

Unable to grasp the massive star’s smile, Ye Zhen lowered her head and continued to put in writing the day by day report in silence. Afterwards, she made three copies as regular. When she handed them to the planning workplace, Xioa Lin tried to keep away from her, and now it was Ye Zhen’s flip to dam her method.

With an expressionless face, Ye Zhen compelled Xiao Lin to step again to the nook. When she was about to verbally give her a “shade see see”*, Xiao Lin couldn’t maintain it anymore and cried out, “Wu wu wu, you’re so horrible… Wow, you aren’t human…”

[TL/N:  It means “I will teach you a lesson so you can behave better”.]

She hadn’t finished something but, so how may she not be human? Ye Zhen exhaled and mentioned, “The place is the day by day report?”

“There, inside!” Xiao Lin pointed to the excessive pile of day by day reviews within the nook of the wall and defined, “I casually put it there again then, however I don’t bear in mind which pile it’s. It’s true. I’m a standard particular person. I don’t have a very good reminiscence such as you…”

If Xiao Lin hadn’t by accident helped her… Ye Zhen pulled out a chair and pushed Xiso Lin onto it. She mentioned with a robust voice, “I’m going to search for the day by day report proper now. You’re chargeable for explaining if anybody comes.”

“Okay, okay, Sister Ye,” Xiao Lin lastly got here to her senses and mentioned tentatively, “If anybody asks, can I inform them that you’re searching for the day by day report back to see the earlier ones?”

“En.”

“Sister Ye, you might be so form.”

Ha ha.

After taking the great particular person card, Ye Zhen started to seek for the reviews of the previous script supervisor. She quickly discovered the particular person’s title, Tan Jia. After turning to the web page the place the title “Tan Jia” was signed, she discovered that the final report was dated February thirteenth, which was the day earlier than Ye Yi’s accident.

The entire report appeared very regular. It was a solo scene for Ye Yi, and he had additionally handed after one “NG”. So the day by day report was not lengthy. Nevertheless, when Tan Jia’s handwriting described the association of the props, it trembled a couple of occasions, as if she was not concentrating on writing.

And this was essentially the most sought-after treasure from the nice Tang Dynasty that was auctioned off in Macau. The protagonist fought to recuperate this treasure, which was one in all Yang Guifei’s burial objects — a gilded, hollowed-out nationwide magnificence, a spherical silver sachet.
