Now it's just taking promotional photos, which is routine for Mu Chen. Just follow the director's instructions and pose a few times. These photos are only used for pre-filming promotion and serve as the audience's first impression of the drama, so they are quite important.

After seeing the photos that had been taken, the director nodded, and Muchen went to the dressing room to change his clothes.

"Oh my goodness, the casting for this drama is out of this world! The director truly has great vision. After the actors put on makeup this morning, they basically became the living embodiment of the original characters from the novel."

As he passed by the dressing room, Mu Chen heard the sigh of a female stylist.

It seemed like she was saying this to the man sitting in front of her.

The man sitting in front of her was wearing an identical white costume to Mu Chen's, with a wig on his head and his black hair tied up. The stylist was putting a hairpin on his head.

Having observed this man's attire, it seemed that he was going to portray a character like his junior martial brother. With that in mind, Muchen couldn't help but take a few more glances.

When he saw the appearance of that person in the mirror, he first froze for a moment, then furrowed his brows and scrutinized the person.

With deep, night-like black eyes, a high, straight nose, slightly thin yet seductively curved lips, the hair tied up and concealed under a wig, the entire face exposed with no obstructions, but there was no apparent flaw on his face, instead making his well-defined features even more refined. However, his expressionless face showed no emotion, despite the incessant chatter of the female stylist beside him, not a single ripple of emotion appeared.

Mu Chen never expected that he would run into Lu Ze again after half a year. He had seen the cast list, and the main roles had already been determined. There didn't seem to be Lu Ze's name among them, and only important characters would participate in the makeup photo shoot. So why was Lu Ze here now?

Through the mirror, Lu Ze also saw Mu Chen and slightly turned his head to glance at him.

Because of his sudden movement, the hair ornament on his head became crooked.

"Stay still," the stylist hurriedly repositioned his head and readjusted the headpiece.

Mu Chen quickly averted his gaze, as if he hadn't seen Lu Ze at all, and went straight to the changing room to change his clothes.

When Mu Chen left the studio, it was already close to noon. Shooting a period drama was troublesome, as it required a lot of time for applying and removing makeup. Fortunately, he was a male actor, and the makeup for female actors was even more complicated.

"Brother Chen, it's getting late. Would you like me to take you to have lunch first?" Once they got in the car, Zhang Ran started asking Mu Chen where they should go.

"Okay." Mu Chen replied before taking out his phone. He wanted to find the original novel of "Capturing the Stars and Moon" to read. Compared to the script, the novel provided more detailed descriptions of the characters, and he believed that reading more would help him better shape the character's image.

The actors of the drama series "Grasping the Stars and Embracing the Moon" may not all be big stars, but most of them have received recognition for their acting skills from the audience. He didn't want to be criticized again when the show was aired.

"When you went to change clothes in the studio, Lize, who was styling in the dressing room, seemed to be there, right, Chen Ge?" Because there had been rumors about Lize and Chen Ge before, Zhang Ran, who was Chen Ge's assistant, remembered him. "What a coincidence! It's been only half a year, and you two are working together again."

"Coincidences are nothing special." Mu Chen puts down his phone and looks out the window, saying, "I am an actor, he is also an actor, and it's not strange to have worked together a few times."

Half a year ago, the scandal almost caused him to fall from grace. Muchen didn't want to have any connection with this person anymore. "I'm warning you, if you have diarrhea again during our residency in the drama crew, I will fire you."

Thinking back to the last incident, Mu Chen felt angry in his heart. If it weren't for Zhang Ran getting sick and taking a leave of absence, he wouldn't have mistakenly entered the wrong room and been caught on camera, leading to all the rumors and false stories spreading.

Zhang Ran wants to cry but has no tears. Life is really difficult.
