Qiao Yiyi turned her head to look at the person who was speaking and saw that it was Fang Yun, an actress who had recently become well-known to the audience for several small-scale online dramas.
Fang Yun has been filming for a long time, but she has always played the role of the second female lead. She was originally unwilling to do so, but as she played more and more second female lead roles, she became a familiar face on the screen. Gradually, netizens teased her as the "eternal second female lead", and she began to gain popularity.
She hated this title at first, but after tasting the sweetness it brought her, she gradually reconciled with the "eternal second female lead" and began to feel that there was nothing wrong with playing the second female lead, at least it was much better than the third female lead, fourth female lead, or even an unknown cannon fodder.
Who would have thought that her second female lead role in this drama was snatched away by someone else, and the person who snatched her away was Qiao Yiyi, who had no acting skills and relied on hype to get on the hot search every day!
Fang Yun was very dissatisfied, so she had a bad face and spoke arrogantly since Qiao Yiyi walked into the dressing room.
Qiao Yiyi is not someone who likes to stir up trouble. In addition, since this was her first time on the crew, she didn't want to get into conflict with anyone right away, so she pretended not to hear this.
As adults, who doesn’t have some casual flirting moments?
If you really take other people's opinions to heart every day, you will have a myocardial infarction sooner or later. Why make things so hard on yourself?
Qiao Yiyi, who was very open-minded, continued to chat happily with the stylists while letting them help her with her hairstyle.
Seeing that she ignored her, Fang Yun started chatting with her stylist.
"Do you feel like the barriers to entry in the entertainment industry are getting lower and lower these days? Anyone can act. A while ago, a young woman privately messaged me saying she wanted to act. I asked her, 'Have you finished your studies? Have you gotten into the acting department? Do you really think acting is that easy?'"
Her stylist smiled awkwardly and didn't respond.
Fang Yun continued to talk to herself, "Well, even if you get into a regular acting school, it'll still take time to develop. How can you achieve success overnight? People these days tend to oversimplify everything. They only see the superficial glamour and don't appreciate the hard work behind it."
Everyone in the dressing room knew that Fang Yun was hinting at Qiao Yiyi and said it on purpose for Qiao Yiyi to hear. No one responded, as it was not easy to do so.
Qiao Yiyi nodded solemnly: "Yes! Teacher Fang Yun is right! She is indeed an experienced veteran actor and a role model for the new generation of actors!"
What she said didn't sound like flattery at all, which caught Fang Yun off guard.
Fang Yun asked in a pinched tone, "What do you mean by that?"
Qiao Yiyi: "It means... praising you and learning from you."
Fang Yun: “…”
Why is she so unconvinced?
Someone responded, "Sister Yiyi has found the right person. Teacher Fang Yun is very experienced in this area."
"In what aspect?" Fang Yun said unhappily.
The man blurted out without thinking: "Female No. 2, isn't Sister Yiyi going to play this role? You can ask Teacher Fang Yun for advice, she's very good at it..."
As he was talking, he stopped talking. He saw Fang Yun looking at him with a dark face through the makeup mirror. The look in her eyes almost shot through him.
The others wanted to laugh but didn't dare, and were trying hard to hold back their laughter.
Just at this moment, director Xie Zhen came in and asked how the styling was going and when they could start filming.
Everyone said it was almost done and would be ready soon.
Xie Zhen then went to take a look at each character and pointed out any problems he found, such as any parts of the makeup, hair, or costumes that needed adjustment.
When it came to Qiao Yiyi, he was a little excited: "Okay, okay! That's it, almost exactly what I imagined!"
Upon hearing this, the others all looked over, wondering what had happened to make Director Xie say such a thing. You know, Director Xie, a Virgo, was extremely strict, even abnormal, so he had picked a special time to take the final makeup photos.
When they followed Xie Zhen's gaze to Qiao Yiyi, they were truly amazed.
Tang Yuan is a cold and ruthless female killer kept in the palace by the emperor.
She always wore a blood-stained red dress and held a Qingshuang sword that would draw blood whenever it was struck.
She has a slim figure, beautiful appearance, and a frosty face. She doesn't say a word, but her eyes are full of charm.
Translated, it means that although Tang Yuan is a mute and has facial paralysis, she is a very good-looking mute and facial paralysis person, between pure and seductive.
Once, a big shot in the painting circle drew a fan art for her because he liked this character so much.
In the picture, Tang Yuan stands with a sword in hand, her blood-stained red robe winding down from the high steps to the ground, like a blooming blood lotus. A tasseled veil half-covers her face, evoking infinite mystery and reverie.
Because of his wife's strong pen power and profound painting skills, this picture immediately became a must-see picture in the circle, and at one point helped Tang Yuan to rush into the top three in the paper figure character rankings.
Fans of the book at the time said that if the novel was ever made into a TV series, they wouldn’t have too many requirements for the casting, as long as it looked similar to the one in this picture.
Then someone said, let’s not film it, let the people in the painting come out, and this book will never be adapted into a film or TV series in this lifetime.
As a result, Tang Yuan really walked out of the painting today.
Qiao Yiyi's appearance is somewhere between pure and seductive.
Normally, when she is bare-faced or wearing light makeup, she gives people a bright and refreshing feeling of summer. With a little modification, her temperament will change instantly. When she is not smiling, she looks a bit cold and elegant, and there is a hint of alienation in the cold and elegant look, and a kind of cold and isolated temperament in the alienation.
Just the right amount of contradiction.
In addition, her superior height adds a touch of coolness.
No wonder her former fans all said that she didn't take good care of her face and only took some evil paths.
Otherwise, why would he be blacklisted by the entire Internet?
Director Xie was very satisfied with Qiao Yiyi's look.
This is why he chose Qiao Yiyi despite all the opposition. Some people are born to be actors, while others are born for a certain role.
Qiao Yiyi is the latter.
He fell in love with Qiao Yiyi at first sight when he saw the video of her imitating bird calls. Although her acting skills were not very good, the role only had a few lines.
Although the other onlookers were not impressed by Qiao Yiyi's acting skills, they had to admit that she looked really good today. Even Sang Bai, the actress who played the leading female role and was known as the "Daffodil on Earth", was outshined.
Sang Bai and the male lead's actor Qin Yiyang were originally in a separate dressing room, having finished their styling and were ready to accept everyone's praise, but unexpectedly everyone gathered around Qiao Yiyi.
Fang Yun fanned the flames, "I don't know if there's something wrong with my eyes or if the current aesthetic standards have changed. What's so beautiful about Qiao Yiyi? She's all red, like a ghost. Nothing like you, Sang Bai. You look like a fairy descending to earth, don't you?"
After hearing her words, Sang Bai said nothing and walked straight to the studio.
But where no one could see, she tightened her grip on the prop sword.
The subsequent shoot went much more smoothly.
Xie Zhen is indeed a very capable director. He can even guide a layman like Qiao Yiyi with ease.
Qiao Yiyi knew that she had a poor foundation, so she just did whatever Director Xie and the photographer said and was extremely obedient.
Everyone was very satisfied with the final film, and it was almost not retouched, and was directly sent to post-production to make the renderings.
Before leaving, the director set a date for the official start of filming, which was set to be a month later. He asked everyone to go back and pack up before joining the crew in a month. By then, they would basically be on the set for several months, so everyone was mentally prepared for hard work.
Qiao Yiyi was a little nervous before, but now she is eager to try.
I plan to take advantage of this time to move my family and then sign up for an acting class. Even if it's just a last-minute cram course, learning a little is better than knowing nothing. I can't really do without knowing anything.
The move was scheduled for this weekend, and Baomei brought her cousin to help as promised.
Even in the hottest weather, her cousin was still diligently wearing a professional suit, looking exactly like the real estate agent she had met in her previous world.
My cousin was very enthusiastic and was so excited to see her that he was almost speechless: "Yiyi, Sister Yiyi, I love you so much! Your costume in the new play is so beautiful!"
Baomei nudged her brother with her elbow and said disdainfully, "Wipe your drool, it's shameful."
Qiao Yiyi didn't mind at all. She thought the brother and sister were warm and cute, but she was a little surprised: "How did you know I was filming a new movie?"
Baomei said, "You don't know yet? Not long after you came back from taking your final photos that day, someone leaked the news and released a few photos."
"Oh, really?" Qiao Yiyi had been busy packing her luggage these past two days and hadn't paid much attention to what was going on online. "So what are the netizens saying? They're not going to scold me again, saying I'm not worthy of this role, are they?"
"That's not the case." Baomei took out her cell phone, opened the Weibo post posted by the blogger who reported the incident, and showed it to Qiao Yiyi.
When Qiao Yiyi took the phone, she saw several pictures of them taking their final photos that day. They should have been taken by the fan club of the two protagonists, because the pictures were mainly of the two of them, and then she accidentally got into the picture and was also released.
I love eating big watermelons: [Is this Qiao Yiyi? It seems... they really look a bit like her.]
Unwilling to giao again: [Although it is still a little far from the Tang Yuan in my mind, but if it is this style, I will reluctantly take a look. ]
Meng Meng Xiao Nao Fu: [Well, we'll see how her acting is then, and whether she's improved. But it seems like she can't say many lines...]
Tea Art Performance: [Really... so I'm going to be a vase again?]
Qiao Yiyi: “…”
Baomei saw her fingertips linger on the last comment and quickly snatched back her phone: "Look, although some people still have doubts about your portrayal of this role, they all have nothing to say about your appearance. I also read this novel back then, and I can testify that if I had to find someone to play Tang Yuan, I think it has to be you. You are Tang Yuan!"
Qiao Yiyi returned the phone to her and pushed her head: "You, I don't know who learned this flattery from."
Baomei was no longer as intimidated by her as before. She patted her head and said with a smile, "Of course I learned it from you, Sister Yiyi. I heard that you even flattered Fang Yun. She's known for her low status and high airs."
Qiao Yiyi: Why do these words sound so similar to what netizens used to say about her?
As they were talking, the moving company they had arranged a call to say that the car would be arriving soon, so the three of them moved their packed things downstairs.
Qiao Yiyi went to the property management to get a bill, and the guard let the driver in.
After a busy period, the car drove from the east of the city to the south, and soon arrived at Fengji Yayuan Community.
This was Qiao Yiyi's first time here. She had only seen it through videos before, but she didn't expect that seeing it in person would be so good.
The community is quiet and elegant, and the landscaping is particularly well done. There are green plants and flowers that are hard to name everywhere.
Dough is now very familiar with Qiao Yiyi. It is a little resistant to its original place. Although its legs are still a little inconvenient after moving to the new place, it wags its tail happily.
The three of them had just unloaded their things from the moving truck when they saw a high-end, low-key car drive in.
After passing them, it fell back.
The car window slowly rolled down, and Brother Bin leaned his arm on the edge of the car, smiling with a big white smile: "Hey, isn't this Fatty Xiaobao? Why are you here?"
