“Oh my goodness, little ancestor, where did you run off to?!”
Just as Gu Suisui was hesitating whether to give the last milk candy given by the beautiful sister to Mama or eat it all by herself, a staff member rushed over.
This time, she wasn't attracted by the wildflowers in the corner and obediently followed the staff member to the dressing room the production crew had prepared.
Gu Suisui was a beauty lover by nature. Anything that could make her prettier held a deep fascination for her. She sat on the chair, her eyes glued to the mirror, and let the young lady beside her to dress her up.
Children's skin is naturally flawless, without a single pore, rosy and delicate. Using too much makeup on such a chubby little face would only be counterproductive. Following the character's requirements, the makeup artist applied light makeup, skillfully parted her hair into two sections, and tied them into two buns on her head. She then pulled out a small strand of hair from each bun, letting them hang naturally.
Gu Suisui was already born beautiful, and after some grooming, her face was as delicate as a flower petal, with two faint dimples, enough to melt anyone's heart.
Ahhh!! Where did the production team find this little actor? She looks too cute!!!
Sun Hong, the makeup artist on the set of "Dormant", gazed at the little princess she had created by her own hands, her eyes practically sparkling. She couldn't wait to take a few pictures of the little one with her phone right now.

Not only was Sun Hong a hidden face controller, but she was also a fan of the novel "Dormant."
"Dormant" was the author's first work to be adapted for the screen. Apart from the male and female leads, who had the most scenes, the character that the original fans were most concerned about was undoubtedly the little princess Li Ya of the fallen country.
Especially the scene of the little princess's death in the novel, it was a real tearjerker, making people cry every time they read it.
And for the male lead, it was an even bigger blow. Overnight, his country was destroyed, his family was lost, and he couldn't even protect his younger sister, entrusted to him by his parents on their deathbeds. She was his only remaining family in this world.
His sister's death was the straw that broke the camel's back, driving the male lead, Li Xiao, to complete blacken. He changed his name, infiltrated the enemy camp, bided his time for years, and finally took revenge, killing everyone who had destroyed his country.
As a fan of the original work, Sun Hong had been worried that the little actress the production team found wouldn't be suitable for the role. But seeing her today, she realized that Director Chen's casting was spot on.
If she had such an innocent and adorable little sister, she would definitely dote on her with all her heart. Whoever dared to harm her, she would chase them to the ends of the earth to make them pay with their blood.
…
Playing opposite Gu Suisui in this scene was the male lead, Lu Chi.
Lu Chi was currently a junior at the Imperial Capital Film and Television Academy. He starred in his first film at the age of sixteen, playing an infatuated second male lead, and shot to fame. Every role he had played since then had been remarkable, earning him a lot of fans.
Freshmen and sophomores at the Imperial Capital Film and Television Academy weren't allowed to take on outside acting jobs, so "Dormant" was his first film since entering college. Moreover, "Dormant" was a classic male-centric story, so for him to land the male lead role spoke volumes about his abilities.
"Hello, little sister." Lu Chi, in order to take care of the young girl in front of him, deliberately squatted down and greeted her with a smile.
Lu Chi wasn't the typical delicate pretty boy that was all the rage now. Instead, he had a very striking face, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and thin lips, his features were very three-dimensional.
Lu Chi had already changed into his costume, a black ancient outfit. He looked handsome and youthful. This was how the protagonist, Li Xiao, appeared before falling into darkness at the beginning of the film.
Even though he had been in the industry for five years, acting with a child this young was a first for him. Lu Chi felt a headache coming on, already mentally preparing himself for numerous NGs.
"Hello, big brother." Gu Suisui looked up and found that the one talking to her was a big brother with broad shoulders and long legs, who was very pleasing to the eye. She gave him a bright smile and spoke in a soft and sweet voice.
This brother is so handsome! (/≧▽≦/)～
Being an actor is really good, ah! I get to see beautiful older sisters and brothers every day.
Seeing that the child wasn't crying or making a fuss and appeared quite well-behaved, Lu Chi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His tone became even gentler, "Don't be nervous when we start filming later, just treat it as usual."
Forget it, NG is NG, the big deal is to wrap up a few hours late today. After all… who can possibly put on a stern face with such an adorable little girl!
The first scene Gu Suisui filmed was in the imperial palace, which also served as the opening of the film.
The carefree little princess flew a kite under the watchful eyes of numerous palace maids, her silver bell-like laughter spreading throughout the palace.
The Emperor of Chen had only taken one wife, the Empress, and their love had brought them a son and a daughter. The family of four lived a happy life.
However, three months later, the State of Chu sent an army of 200,000 troops to attack the State of Chen. The Chu army swept south, encountering little resistance, and the State of Chen lost several cities in a row. Logically, the States of Chen and Chu were evenly matched in strength, so the city gates should not have been lost so quickly, but there was a traitor around, who sold the city defense map to the enemy.
When the situation became irretrievable, the Emperor and Empress only had time to hastily send their two children out of the palace before they themselves were buried in the sea of fire along with the entire palace.
There were basically no lines in the first scene. The staff told Gu Suisui the key points, and she remembered them all.
The maids who played the little princess's playmates in this scene were chosen from the dozens of children who came with her this time. Each of them was much older than Gu Suisui.
"Which one of you knows how to fly a kite?" On the other side, Li Fugui, the field manager in charge of coordinating the overall work, asked amongst these people.
They glanced at each other, their eyes filled with confusion. None of them could do it.
Just as Li Fugui frowned, a pretty girl stepped forward. "Uncle, I know how to fly a kite. I've flown them before when I took my younger sister out to play."
Li Fugui nodded. "Good, you'll be up then."
Su Yuqing wore a faint smile on her face, but she didn't feel happy at all.
As for what she just said about taking her sister to fly a kite… that was, of course, a lie.
Hehe, younger sister.
Su Yuqing indeed had a younger sister, but that little sister was the baggage her stepmother brought along. In her past life, she had treated this person as her own sister, showering her with love and letting her have all the good things.
But what was the result? This cheap stepsister not only stole the role that belonged to her but also stole her boyfriend.
Su Yuqing felt nauseous and disgusted when she thought of the things the two did in bed.
She raised her eyes, staring coldly at a certain little girl sitting not far away. The dark emotions that flashed in her eyes were chilling, but they were well hidden in an instant.
At the same time, Gu Suisui, who was hugging a cartoon water bottle and drinking water to moisten her throat, suddenly sensed something and looked up towards the crowd.
Ugh, she had just felt a wave of intense malice, seemingly directed at her, yet not quite.
…How strange.
