Free Web NovelChapter 1246: Chapter 1246: Lan Xinxin’s Sense of Crisis
Xue Fan didn’t expect that Yun Qiluo could wear a palace maid’s dress and still have such an effect, and he was immediately astounded.
He even thought, should he give her more scenes, and if possible, it would be great if she could play the female lead.
It took him several seconds to come back to his senses—she was just a supporting role, and a newcomer who had never acted before; whether she could act was still unknown.
Moreover, the female lead Lan Xinxin had backing, so it was impossible to replace her.
He quickly waved and said, "Come, let’s go through the scenes first."
Yun Qiluo immediately lifted her skirt and jogged over, her eyes sparkling as she looked around at everything.
Xue Fan asked, "Have you read the script at home?"
"Yes! I’ve read it all!"
Xue Fan immediately asked her to bring out the script, intending to choose a simpler scene for her.
Lan Xinxin stood nearby, looking at Yun Qiluo’s face, but her own expression didn’t look good.
She didn’t expect that the little internet celebrity who came to play her palace maid would be so good-looking in real life.
Ever since she learned that Yun Qiluo was the one playing the role, she felt uneasy.
Now seeing her makeup and outfit, along with Xue Fan’s gaze and attitude, a strong sense of crisis welled up in her heart.
Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years and having acted in many dramas, she surely knew how terrible the consequences were if the lead was overshadowed by a supporting role.
As the female lead, she had to play a beauty who could make the Emperor fall in love at first sight, but if the palace maid beside her was more beautiful, wouldn’t she be mocked when the drama aired?
Generally, when casting, they would not choose a palace maid more beautiful than the female lead, or else who would pay attention to the female lead?
But it was said that this person was inserted by Chu Yibai, so even if she was displeased, she couldn’t speak out.
What worried her more was that Xue Fan was a commercial film director who valued ratings, and audiences liked to look at good-looking people, so he would most probably add scenes for Yun Qiluo. She was already attention-grabbing, what would happen if she got more scenes?
Seeing Xue Fan choosing the scene, she thought for a moment and then went over to say, "Director Xue, why not shoot the continuation of the last scene? I haven’t fully recovered from it, and continuing will keep my performance in a good state."
"The continuation of the last scene?" Xue Fan thought for a moment and frowned, "Wouldn’t it be too difficult?"
The drama they were shooting was a court romance drama, simply put, an ancient Mary Sue idol drama.
It tells the story of the female lead Jiang Yunxuan being forced to participate in a selection, trying to avoid entering the palace by making herself look ugly, but she was still unfortunately chosen by the young Emperor to enter the harem, struggling to survive and avoid being favored in the Imperial Palace.
The domineering male lead, which is the Emperor, realizing the person he likes always avoids him, still relentlessly pursues her, but his special treatment causes Jiang Yunxuan to stand out in the palace, drawing the ire of other concubines.
The scene Lan Xinxin just shot with He Shao was about Jiang Yunxuan being pushed into the water, getting a high fever, and the Emperor coming to see her with a heartache.
The following plot is that the Emperor, feeling guilty for not being able to protect his beloved, takes out his anger on Bishui, Jiang Yunxuan’s close palace maid, blaming her for not protecting her master.
In this matter, Bishui indeed had some responsibility, and he, as the Emperor, had the right to do so.
Afterwards, when Jiang Yunxuan found out, she became furious, feeling he could bully the palace maid who was like a sister to her, and went to confront the male lead, which became the trigger for the conflict between the leads.
