Chapter 525: Chapter 525: Sister Jinyi is Experiencing Life
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Yan Jinyi, who was still “experiencing life” in the nooks and crannies, was completely dressed like a village girl at the moment.
She was dressed in shabby clothes and her hair was in braids.
The weather was very chilly and it wasn’t too humid in the village so Yan Jinyi gave up on skincare the first day she entered the village.
She didn’t have any makeup on and her pale face was a little flushed.
“Jinyi, it’ll be hard on you.”
Yan Jinyi gave Tao Wei the impression that she was arrogant but was a competent and fast learner. Unfortunately, she was angst all the time and couldn’t take hardship.
This time, he once again changed his mind about Yan Jinyi.
Actresses pay the most attention to their appearance, and many would even bring a professional beautician with them to set so that they could take care of their skin.
Yan Jinyi didn’t have a manager nor an assistant. Now, she didn’t even bother about skincare.
Her features were still pretty now but her lips were cracked and her skin was a little dull. She looked just like a hillbilly.
“It rained last night and the roads on the mountain are quite uneven. Why don’t you wait until the weather clears up tomorrow to film the scenes?”
When the village chief saw Yan Jinyi’s appearance at this time, he couldn’t help but recall her appearance when she first entered the village. It was simply a world of difference.
“That’s exactly the effect that I want. Enjoyment does not exist in Moon’s life.”
She took the lead and walked towards the mountain. The terrain was considered acceptable to her, for she had walked on worse and muddier roads when she took her underlings trekking through the mountains in the past.
“We can start filming,” Tao Wei said with a hand gesture.
Today, they would be filming the scene of the male and female lead meeting each other.
Moon went up the mountain to scour for some vegetables but accidentally fell. Zhang Mingtian happened to see Moon and carried her down.
The person playing the character ‘Zhang Mingtian’ was the nephew of the villager, who was also named Zhang Mingtian.
Except for the female lead, almost all the characters who appeared in the village in the film had the same name as the villagers who played them.

Tao Wei was the one who requested it. Since he just needed the villagers to act as themselves, giving them fake names would be restrictive.
Yan Jinyi soon got into the mood.
Carrying a backpack, she slowly made her way up the mountain. Even though she was wearing a cotton shirt, her back still seemed extremely gaunt and weak.
She was very strict with her weight loss regime and had especially tried to lose even more weight for the sake of this film. Hence, she was really only skin and bones left.
She no longer looked as pretty and fresh as she used to. At this point, Yan Jinyi was the poor Moon who had been through plenty of hardship in life.
All of a sudden, her body swayed a little and she rolled downwards, causing the mud to splash all over her body.
Tao Wei got a great shock too because he didn’t expect Yan Jinyi to really do it.
“Remember to capture her facial expressions. They are fewer and fewer actresses like Jinyi who are bold enough to make sacrifices for her career these days.”
There was mud in Yan Jinyi’s mouth and she couldn’t help but mutter, “I’m getting so much hate even though I’m so dedicated to my work. This doesn’t make sense at all.”
“Moon?” Zhang Mingtian came down slowly from the mountain with a pile of firewood in his arms. When he saw her lying on the ground, he scurried over and asked, “Are you alright?”
She slowly raised her head. Although her face was covered in dirt, her eyes were exceptionally bright. “It’s alright, I just slipped.”
Zhang Mingtian tossed the firewood on his back towards the side and squatted in front of her. “Come on, I’ll carry you home!”
“That doesn’t seem to be appropriate, I…”
Yan Jinyi was entirely emulating a submissive, shy, and meek girl.
The scene was a perfect take. Afterward, the crew quickly came forward to wipe the mud off of Yan Jinyi’s body.
“Jinyi, why are you injured?”
