The border war has been futile for years.

Our people are displaced

and destitute.

I hereby recommend myself to be transferred to the border.

[May His Majesty approve.]

[Be My Princess]

[Episode 2]

I can consider teaching you in my free time,

but first,

you have to show your sincerity.

What are you referring to?

Why...why is he coming so close?

It can't be what I'm thinking, right?

The unspoken rules.

I was reading the tabloid the other day,

and it said that the crews

might have unspoken rules.

It might be a rumor.

But you need to keep alert.

Don't come any closer.

Any closer and I'd kick you!

What do you think?

I think,

as an actor,

the best sincerity

is to do your job well.

To better understand your character,

and generate chemistry with other actors.

I hope your performance

makes our one month waiting worth it.

Rest assured, Mr. Mu.

Thank you, Mr. Mu.

I'll give you one day

to prove your worth.

Mr. Mu,

what did you mean by that?

If you act badly,

you'd still be replaced.

You'll never get the chance

to act again.

Good night.

If you act badly,

you'd still be replaced.

After that,

it'll be very difficult for you to act again.

Good night.

I'm speechless.

Who do you think you are?

The Jade Emperor, or Buddha?

You really think you're the Grand Tutor.

You think my fate

relies on you?

Although

I didn't want to be in the limelight,

if I'm fired like this,

that's too embarrassing.

Who are you?

I'm Mu Yun,

Your Highness.

You scared my butterflies away.

Get them back,

or I will keep you here.

The butterflies were scared off by Eunuch Li,

I am innocent.

You're not if I say you're not!

Catch the butterflies now!

Catch them now!

I don't care.

You have to catch them for me!

I want those butterflies.

Catch them!

Calm down.

[Morning alarm]

[Grand Chief Cabinet Minister]

[Alarm clock]

Good morning, Mr. Mu.

Ming Wei, you're here early.

We're starting late today,

so why don't you sleep more?

Soon there will be enough to tire you out.

I'm not early,

not as early as Mr. Mu.

No matter which crew Mr. Mu is in,

he's always the role model.

He's never late

and always early.

I should learn more from Mr. Mu.

Cameraman, is the position good?

OK. It's OK. No problem.

Are you done?

Wait a moment, almost there.

Hurry up, you should go now.

-Let's go. Let's go. -Okay.

Okay. We are done here.

Come on.

Come over a little bit.

Good.

Episode one, scene two, take five.

Here we go, be quiet.

Action.

You went out of the action field.

I have just told you.

How come you went out of the field again?

Cameraman,

why didn't you inform the actress?

I am sorry, director. I am so sorry.

I am sorry, director.

I'm sorry. One more time.

Again.

OK. Action.

How come you forgot it again?

Again.

I am sorry.

I am sorry, director.

Sorry. Sorry, director.

One more time, please.

Again.

You have seen this today.

We didn't even finish one scene this morning.

Maybe she was too nervous.

She hasn't adapted yet.

If I wait for her to get adapted

and delay the progress,

how should I explain to the production manager?

Sir, this is the first time we work together.

Could you please give us more time to get along with each other.

Fine.

I will give you one more chance.

Thank you.

I know you feel terrible now.

But whatever happens

you need to be relaxed.

The more nervous you are, the more likely you will fail.

I feel bad.

Come on, let's eat over there.

Squatting here is not good for your digestion.

Come.

Come.

Thank you.

There you go.

Thank you.

You can try this.

This is really delicious.

It's quite delicious.

Actually, it's quite normal for you

to feel nervous when you act for the first time.

It's totally fine. Don't think too much about it.

Let's eat.

You don't know about my first acting experience.

That is really something embarrassing.

There was a line in the script.

"We are so anxious

like big eyes staring at small eyes."

At that time

I was so nervous

that I said

"we are so anxious

like left eye staring at right eye."

Everyone at the scene burst out laughing.

The director even said,

"Come on. Show us

how to use your left eye to stare at your right eye."

I was in a devil of a hole.

I was too nervous at that time.

The more nervous you are, the more likely you will fail.

Actually, I think you act quite well.

The expressions in your eyes, those small details

were really good.

Maybe it's just because you are unfamiliar with the environment.

You can't fully express yourself.

Thank you.

I just

really didn't know what to do.

It's my pleasure.

Mr. Mu

is really good at acting.

I am quite jealous of you to have the opportunity

to learn from him.

You should cheer up.

You can do this.

Come on.

Come on.

Hurry up, it's getting cold.

Look at Chen Zhang.

He made Ming Wei smile only by a few words.

You shouldn't be always so serious.

Don't give her too much pressure.

So you blame me for her poor performance?

Of course.

Who would not be nervous to work with the Best Actor for the first time?

Let alone Ming Wei is just a novice.

You should take care of her.

I don't think a novice needs to be taken care of.

As long as you are an actor

you should set high standards for yourself.

There are no exceptions.

Boring.

Hello?

Sister,

how is your acting going?

Not good.

I am on the verge

of being kicked out of the crew.

Who is trying to kick you out?

Tell me, I will handle it for you.

You can't handle this for me.

I have to rely on myself.

Tell me.

I am getting anxious.

What happened?

Mu Tingzhou gave me one day

to let me prove my ability

or I will be out.

Mu Tingzhou.

He thought he was famous

so he could push you around?

He didn't push me around.

It was me who didn't perform well.

But his entertainment agent was quite nice.

Very kind.

Xiao Zhao?

Yes, you know him?

Yeah.

The grapevine talks about him all the time.

He's from a wealthy family.

But sis,

this guy

is nice to every girl,

like a central air-conditioner.

Don't get fooled by his kindness.

I know that. Don't worry.

Sister, was acting interesting?

Can I visit you when I am free?

Of course.

Just call me

whenever you don't have classes.

Qiao, I have to go.

I've got something to do, goodbye.

Mr. Xiao.

Ming Wei.

What's the matter?

I have a question about acting

that I would like to ask Mr. Mu.

Could you please give me his number?

Sorry.

Do you recognize my acting?

No.

I will leave the crew tomorrow morning.

You don't want to act anymore?

You said I was a poor actress

and you don't want me to act for the show, right?

Now you ask me if I want to act.

Of course I want to act,

but you won't let me continue.

So I'll leave.

I really don't recognize

your acting.

But you have talent.

If you put your heart into it,

the character you perform

probably can make the audience get connected with you.

I could teach you some acting skills

at some appropriate time.

So

I agree to let you stay.

Really?

Thank you, Mr. Mu.

I will leave you some homework. Take it seriously.

What homework?

After the day work, you should

go over the parts you will act the next day

according to your schedule.

Understand the character from your view

to go deep into the character's inner world.

Apart from your understanding of Princess Ming Hua,

you should also try to understand

other characters.

Write down your thoughts to

express your understanding in words.

I will give it to you as soon as I finish.

The homework is not for me.

You don't need to hand it to me.

It's only for you to better understand the characters.

I will take it seriously.

How come he always doesn't have a good ending?

We have more acting work

in the latter part.

No problem.

You told my room number to Ming Wei?

Why would I bother to do that?

But you are in the same crew

and you are colleagues.

It's quite normal to have your room number.

I can't be with you all the time.

What kind of entertainment agent you are!

Tell me,

when did you come back last night?

Why? Are you spying on me?

I don't want you to get into trouble.

Everybody, it's time for lunch.

We'll go back to work after lunch.

Thank you.

Ming Wei.

Come. We have tasty fried meat today.

I've got yours.

Thanks.

[Pick Up Food Here]

Have a seat.

Here you go.

[I've been...]

[I've been...]

These chopsticks.

I've prepared these for you.

From today on,

you could eat with me here

and have a rest.

Thanks.

Let's eat.

Try this.

Thanks.

Look at them,

a man and a woman eating together.

And me,

eating with a man everyday.

It really spoils my appetite.

I could give you a box of Laoganma Chili Sauce,

then you'll have a good appetite.

Do you think

the consort will take it seriously and make the drama become true?

It's none of your business.

No, it's not mine.

But it's yours.

I thought you would be unhappy.

You know about it.

I never fall in love with a colleague.

It's stupid.

Don't brag yet.

You might eat your words.

Do I look good?

You're more beautiful than the fairy, Your Highness.

Over there, Your Highness.

This way, Grand Tutor.

The princess is admiring flowers here.

Who are you?

I'm Mu Yun,

Your Highness.

You've scared away my butterfly.

You must compensate me for another one.

Otherwise,

I won't let you go.

Why don't you move?

The butterfly was scared away by Eunuch Li.

I shouldn't take the blame for that.

You're guilty if I say so.

Go get me a butterfly.

Cut.

Everybody did a good job today.

Especially Ming Wei. You made big progress today.

Thanks, director. Thanks, director.

Thank you guys.

Ming Wei.

Mr. Mu.

Is there any problem?

I'm looking at the upcoming scenes.

I feel like sometimes

you have to keep a steady pace,

hit that emotion right on point,

and pay attention to the details.

[Grand Chief Cabinet Minister]

[Grand Chief Cabinet Minister]

[Grand Chief Cabinet Minister]

The Book of Rites

is what all the princes and princesses

must learn.

Your Highness, you can't leave here today

until you finish these ten pages.

Ten pages?

But I want to play outside.

Your Highness lives in the palace

and should know rites and social forms

so that you set a good example for thousands of your people.

It's your responsibility.

How could you say you wouldn't learn it?

I didn't say that.

Your Highness.

Grand Tutor.

You may arise.

What is that?

His Majesty really loves his daughter.

He rewards you this facial mud cleanser.

Please send him my appreciation for this.

Your Highness, I'll leave you be.

Your Highness.

Grand Tutor, do you think

if I would become more beautiful

if I use this facial mud cleanser?

Your Highness is the daughter of His Majesty.

You were born with natural beauty.

Come.

Finish these ten pages first.

I don't want to.

I still want to play outside.

Today is the Firework Festival.

Do you still remember?

I heard it is so much fun when it's Firework Festival.

I was wondering if

I could get out before the gate is closed.

I know it might be inappropriate.

But,

how could a princess set a good example for her people if she

always lives in the palace and doesn't know

what her people are worried about

or what they are happy about?

Grand Tutor,

am I right?

Finish these ten pages, then you may go.

After study,

I'll report to His Majesty

that I shall go with you.

Grand Tutor, it's amazing.

Your Highness, how's that? Is it beautiful?

Yes, it is!

It's so much fun.

[Fragrant Tea]

Miss, take a look here.

It's fun.

My Lady, don't.

Come and take a look!

Such a disappointment to come

out with them!

It's all for your safety, Your Highness.

Am I not safe enough to be with you?

You will take care of me,

right?

Of course.

Let's go!

Finally got rid of them!

Your Highness, you....

You have transgressed the bounds of decency.

What did you say?

-Watch out, Your Highness! -Come and catch me!

Catch me, quickly!

Don't run, sister!

Wait for me, sister!

Your Highness, as your minister, I just reminded you that

You have transgressed the bounds of decency.

[Dressing Room]

Tingzhou, you are really going to treat Ming Wei like this?

Is it going to work?

Shut up!

Mr. Mu and Mr. Xiao, good morning!

Morning!

You don't have to care about him,

he is like this when he thinks about the plots.

What is his deal?

Ming Wei,

for this plot,

you still need to show the effeminacy and innocence as the princess.

Even her caprice.

But deep inside your heart,

you care about the Grand Tutor.

So you should have dissatisfaction and grievances

in your emotions.

Of course you should also feel reluctant to leave.

Do you understand?

Yes, director.

Tingzhou,

your role has already realized that he starts

to have feelings at this time.

So you would ask to leave the capital.

No problem, right?

Alright.

Please rehearse the lines with Ming Wei later to

help her understand better.

What's wrong with him today?

What's going on?

Did you mess with him?

How dare I?

Why don't you talk to me?

How could you leave without saying goodbye?

Your Highness, you have come to set me off.

I really don't deserve such an honor.

It is not a good place to stay.

Your Highness, it is better for you to go back to the palace as soon as possible.

Why would you go to the North?

Father said,

it is your own decision.

Is it true?

The country is not stable without ruling the North.

It is my own decision to garrison the North.

How long will you be gone?

When will you come back to the capital?

Please take care, Your Highness.

Grand Tutor,

no matter how long you will be gone,

I will be waiting for you.

Your Highness, you have offered an inappropriate present.

I cannot take it.

It is not an inappropriate present.

I am not going to come back to the capital.

Your Highness, you don't have to wait.

His Majesty will hire a new tutor for you.

You are not only a tutor

to me.

To me,

Your Highness, you are just my student.

Come on!

Cut!

Very good, very good!

Ming Wei's emotions are very realistic.

You have demonstrated the grievances and dissatisfaction of the princess

right on point.

Good job, Ming Wei!

Let's switch the set up!

Great move!

He really deserves to be the best actor.

Please pass it to me.

Thank you.

You are welcome.

Your boyfriend is here to visit you?

Ex-boyfriend.

Let me give a brief introduction to you.

This is the main scene of the TV series,

the imperial garden.

We have filmed most of our

plots here.

To be honest, in order to build this scene at that time...

What are you thinking?

I have went through the documents of

architectures and gardens from that era.

Nothing.

It is said that this Mr. Cheng

has invested a lot of money to our crew.

He is a well-known rich princeling who

invests films and TV shows to

chase after actresses.

Let the audiences

to experience that era.

Come, Mr. Cheng. Please come this way.

You know each other?

He just smiled at you,

didn't he?

I don't know him.

A guy like him must

smile at

all the young actresses.

Fair enough.

Ming Wei, as a rookie,

you have to be very careful.

Don't let people take advantage of your words.

I know, thank you.

[Cheng Yao.]

Wei, I am looking forward to seeing you at the dinner party.

Do you have anything to do

with me being nominated as the heroine?

I will tell you in person tonight.

The banquet is going to start,

you are really not going to show up?

You know I don't attend

meaningless social events.

An event which is organized by so many sneaky investors

down there.

Ming Wei is so pretty and innocent.

You really don't care that they might take a move on her?

Why would I care?

Enjoy your meal.

Alright, we will go first.

OK, OK.

-Let's go, there. -Alright.

Thanks for your work.

It is not easy to succeed this year

in this environment.

Miss Ming!

Hello, hello.

Hello.

Hello.

This is the heroine Miss Ming, right?

Stunning as expected.

Miss Ming is surely a heavenly beauty.

I don't know if you can come

to our company in the future.

Ming Wei,

I haven't seen you for a long time.

You have become more beautiful.
