The conference room for the script huddle is on the second floor, and the actors are coming in.
When Sang Tian went upstairs, she happened to meet the director and screenwriter talking in the hallway.
She then went up to say hello.
"Have you seen who's playing the male lead?" The screenwriter, Liang Wan, sounded a bit excited, "I think you guys will have great chemistry!"
Liang Wan's age was about the same as Sang Tian's, and the two had added WeChat when they met before, occasionally chatting about the contents of the script, and had become much closer.
Sang Tian smiled and nodded, "I just met you at the bottom, it's amazing that you guys managed to keep it a secret for so long."
Liang Wan threw the pot to director Jiang Yinhua, "It was director Jiang who didn't let me reveal it."
If one were to look at her appearance alone, the average person would not think that the woman in front of them with short, capable hair was director Jiang Yinhua, who had exported a number of smash hit idol dramas. She was only thirty-five years old, but she had a lot of directing experience, especially specializing in the composition of images and ambiguous atmosphere of romantic dramas.
"I was more surprised than you were when I found out about it, and hiding it until today for everyone to know, it was actually hard to hold it in." Kang Yinhua smiled and said, "It's kind of a surprise for everyone."
Sang Tian was a bit helpless, for her, the surprise was greater than the joy.
During the time of idle chatter, the actors arrived one after another.
Sang Tian went in and then found her own seat, right next to Xie Shili.
She didn't immediately go over and sit down, but greeted the other actors and staff one by one before going to her own seat.
When she had just sat down, a cup of hot tea was handed over from Xie Shili's direction.
"It's cold outside, you should drink a cup of hot to warm your body first." A clear voice slowly spoke.
Sang Tian froze and hurriedly took it, "Many thanks teacher."
Abruptly, a vibrant teenage voice next to her shouted, "Brother Xie, I want one too!"
Sang Tian was attracted by the voice and just turned her head, the boy with handsome eyebrows sat down while grabbing her hand and holding it tightly.
"Hello sister, my name is Wen Bai, I'm playing your brother in the drama."
Sang Tian was taken aback by the sudden enthusiasm, and hastily withdrew her hand, nodding gently towards him, "Hello."
She had heard about Wen Bai from Jiang Yali, as a newcomer signed by Seven Points Entertainment for only two years, with his superior appearance as well as Seven Points Entertainment's hard work, he had now brushed his face in several of Seven Points Entertainment's hit dramas, and had attracted a group of fans as well.
It's just that it's so different from her image in the dramas, and she turns out to be so enthusiastic and lively in person?
Wen Bai was still smiling, "I'm a fan of my sister, I've watched that video of my sister in red on the internet several times, my sister is too handsome in it!"
Sang Tian hadn't said anything yet, he had already started talking again on his own.
"How did sister fold the rabbit in that drama, I'm clumsy, I couldn't even learn it if I wanted to."
Sang Tian curved her eyes and smiled, "That one has a tutorial on the internet, I learned it accordingly."
At this time, the hot tea that Xie Shili poured for Wen Bai was also put in front of him.
Wen Bai picked it up and brought it to his mouth, and immediately afterward, he was scalded and wowed, also causing the others to look over.
He frowned and complained, "This tea is also too hot."
Xie Shili looked at him with a pale expression, "If you know it's hot, blow on it before you drink it, and don't talk too much."
How did Wen Bai dare to retort, he lowered his head and silently drank the tea.

The time spent around reading the script went by quickly and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
The last trace of worry in Sang Tian's heart completely disappeared without a trace, in her opinion, meeting a good crew is the most fortunate thing.
Because her persona in the drama was a cheongsam designer, the styling team was preparing her outfits mainly in cheongsam. When the styling team showed photos of a few of the cheongsams, Sang Tian followed suit.
Seeing so many colorful and rich cheongsams, she was looking forward to it.
March in Tianjin was still cold, so the crew set the filming location in Yangcheng.
The climate there was warm and humid, so it was the most suitable for filming.
After the script huddle was over, everyone got together and took pictures.
And since Sang Tian and Xie Shili were the main characters of the play, they naturally needed to be photographed alone together.
Liang Wan stood at the side and looked at the two of them and laughed, "If I didn't know that you've just met, I would have thought that the two of you had talked about your costumes ahead of time and then matched them."
Hearing this, Sang Tian immediately looked down at her own outfit today.
A white short jacket with a black half turtleneck sweater inside.
There was harmony in the opposite colors of Xie Shili's outfit, and it really did look like it had been matched.
Sang Tian was just about to open her mouth to explain, but the others didn't give her the chance to do so.
"Maybe this is the tacit understanding between the soon-to-be-couple duo!"
"Originally, I didn't even dare to think that the male and female leads would be played by you guys, but now it's good, who will be hot if this drama isn't?"
"Come on, come on, stand together and let the photographer take a picture."
Sang Tian's cheeks were a little hot, but she still obediently did as she was told and leaned towards the wall.
Xie Shili also leaned against the wall at this time in synchronization with her movements, only that the distance between the two of them was somewhat far apart.
Liang Wan looked on from the sidelines and immediately said, "It's not good to be so stiff, you guys get closer."
Sang Tian has not yet moved, Xie Shili has already taken the initiative to lean over, along with the light fragrance into her nose, instantly like a warm wind will wrap her, so that her mind are blunt for a few points.
This was the first time that her photo shoot revealed a different kind of helplessness and panic than before.
But fortunately, both of them were very professional, and such photo shoots were a snap.
After the script huddle, there was a potluck dinner.
The group went to a hotel box, and although most of them had just met, there was no awkwardness at all.
Sang Tian because of the upcoming filming, these meat dishes are not touched, only chose a few light vegetables to eat.
Like her, Wei Yiqing, who plays the heroine's best friend in this drama, can only eat green vegetables.
The two of them looked at each other when they were eating vegetables, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
"When this drama finishes filming, I'll go back and have a binge meal." Wei Yiqing said.
Sang Tian bent her eyes, "Me too."
What could be sadder than a table of food placed in front of one's face that one couldn't eat.
At this time, someone voiced out a suggestion, "Just eating is too boring, or let's play a game."
Upon hearing this, Sang Tian also became interested, just in time to divert her attention.
"Since the main characters are all here, let's test the tacit understanding between the two of you first, we're going to shoot a movie soon, and it won't do to have a good enough tacit understanding."
Sang Tian was stunned, she never thought it was such a game, her eyes then immediately met with Xie Shili who was sitting opposite, but those dark eyes contained a shallow smile.
Her heart jumped violently and she quickly avoided her eyes.
Xie Shili, however, curved his lips and opened his mouth to ask, "How do you test?"
Liang Wan raised her hand on her own recommendation, "I'll ask a few questions about the script and see if your answers are the same."
Seeing that it's played out this way, Sang Tian's heart settled, so she nodded as well, "Okay, then ask."
"Think which scene will be the hardest to shoot?" Liang Ivana asked.
Sang Tian did not hesitate and answered, "The kissing scene."
After all, she hadn't filmed a kissing scene yet, even her first kiss, so naturally she was the most worried.
But at the same moment, Xie Shili also answered the same answer, "Kissing scene."
