Chapter 197: No Comparison, No Harm (Part 4)
Ruan Qi didn't say anything.
"..." Lu Jiayao, who had no stairs to go down, almost bit her teeth to pieces.
Fortunately, it was time to start work.
At Wu Huai's command, everyone stopped paying attention to Lu Jiayao and went about their own business.
Lu Jiayao stood behind the camera, her eyebrows and eyes, which were made extremely delicate by makeup, stared at Ruan Qi not far away in a vague way.
Ye Ran was keenly aware of her gaze and couldn't help but frown.
"Hey," he nudged Ruan Qi, who was reading a script, and said stiffly, "Be careful with that woman."
Ruan Qi looked up from the script in confusion, not realizing for a moment who Ye Ran was talking about.
Ye Ran's face darkened, and he growled in frustration, "Can you be any more stupid?! I told you to be careful of Lu Jiayao!!!"
Ruan Qi suddenly realized and said "Oh" slowly, then smiled sweetly in the eyes of Ye Ran who was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
"Senior Ye, don't worry, she is no match for me!"
…
The first scene to be filmed today is the scene where Yu Hanyan, the Palace Master of Yaowu Palace, confronts many righteous people before she meets Meng Qiao.
Lü Jiayao plays the second female lead, Di Shan, the daughter of the martial arts leader. She hates evil and possesses exceptional martial arts skills, viewing Yu Hanyan as a perpetrator of all evil.
This scene mainly focuses on the confrontation between Yu Hanyan and Di Shan.
Ruan Qi slowly rose into the air hanging on the wire.
More than a hundred extras and supporting actors were in place. Di Shan, played by Lv Jiayao, stood at the front of the crowd, holding a long whip.
She raised her head and looked at Ruan Qi in mid-air with gloomy eyes.
The script supervisor shouts "action" and the shooting begins.
Ruan Qi was leaning on the chaise longue in mid-air, her black hair flying in the wind.
She narrowed her eyes lazily, and her gaze swept over everyone one by one as if she was looking at her lover.
The men she saw couldn't help but feel their hearts beating wildly, but they still had to maintain the dignity of a righteous person, revealing a look of deep hatred and pain on their faces.
Standing at the front, Lu Jiayao held a long whip in her hand and looked up at the stunningly beautiful woman in the air.
"Yu Hanyan!" She spoke in a clear voice, pointing her long whip directly at Ruan Qi. "You have deceived people, spread chaos in the martial arts world, and killed countless people! Today, I, Di Shan, will seek justice for those who died!"
Ruan Qi, who was lying on the chaise longue, raised her lips and let out a soft "huh".
“Cut——!”
Wu Huai held the megaphone and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Lü Jiayao, you are the daughter of the Wulin leader, not Yu Hanyan's maid! Show more aura!"
Lu Jiayao's expression froze.
Wu Huai: "Let's do it again! Everyone, take your positions!"
“Action——!”
"Yu Hanyan!" Lu Jiayao swung her whip, her small chin slightly raised, and looked at Ruan Qi with a determined look. "You've deceived people, spread chaos in the martial arts world, and killed countless people! Today, I, Di Shan, will seek justice for those who died!"
Ruan Qi, who was leaning on the chaise longue, curled her red lips and let out a soft laugh.
She supported herself with her arms and sat up from the couch. The clothes on her shoulders slipped off as she moved, revealing her snow-white shoulders.
"Miss Di," she said in a lazy and charming voice, "all the people I have killed were treacherous and heartless. I have saved so many people trapped in love, how could I become a cholera? Miss Di, you say this about me, I am so sad..."
Ruan Qi's voice was soft and numb, like the most bewitching poison in the world, making people want to smooth her slightly furrowed brows with their own hands.
Wu Huai behind the camera nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, Lu Jiayao spoke.
"That's nonsense!" She glared at Ruan Qi with anger. "Yu Hanyan, stop trying to quibble! Surrender now, or else..."
“Cut——!”
Wu Huai interrupted Lu Jiayao with a loud speaker.
"Lü Jiayao!" He stood up. "You were the Chinese class representative in school, right?"
Lv Jiayao didn't understand what he meant and could only answer truthfully, "No..."
"Then why are you memorizing the text?!" Wu Huai shouted. He shook the script in his hand. "This is filming, not memorizing lines! Did you learn nothing from all your four years at film school?! Even Ruan Qi, a latecomer, is a thousand times better than you!"
Lu Jiayao felt a little embarrassed after being scolded, and her grip on the whip tightened a little.
Wu Huai: "Do it again! Also, Lu Jiayao, stop staring at Ruan Qi with your eyes wide open! Show some acting skills, okay?!"
Lu Jiayao's face was stiff and she pulled the corner of her mouth.
Three minutes later...
"Lv Jiayao!!!"
The entire set was filled with Wu Huai's roars, "Are you a fucking emotionless reading machine?! Can't you even recite a line properly?"
Shen Wenqian, who was standing outside the studio, couldn't help but poke Ye Ran, and said with a puzzled look on his face, "Why does it sound like she recites her lines very well?"
"It's pretty good." Ye Ran crossed his arms, his face cold, "But compared to Ruan Qi, it's not good."
At this moment, Wu Huai behind the camera threw away the script and stood up.
"Ruan Xiaoqi!" He pointed at Ruan Qi, who was hanging in the air, and yelled at the top of his lungs, "You! Read back Lu Jiayao's lines! Xiao Zhang, get her a script!"
Ruan Qi said "Oh" slowly.
She waved her hands and refused the script that the staff handed to her with a bamboo stick.
"Thank you for the script, but I don't need it~"
The little girl smiled and thanked him, then cleared her throat and spoke slowly.
"Yu Hanyan!" Her voice was clear and bright.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Ruan Qi raised his chin slightly, "You have deceived people, spread chaos in the martial arts world, and killed countless people! Today, I, Di Shan, will seek justice for those who died!"
Her tone was powerful and resolute, yet concealed a hint of difficulty and trembling.
As the daughter of the leader of the Wulin, Di Shan was taught from a young age not to associate with evil and not to do evil things. But she had lived for so many years and witnessed the killing and fighting among righteous people, and the dirty faces behind those righteous faces.
She hated and despised them, but had to associate with them because her father had taught her that they were righteous and right.
But are they really right? Where did Yu Hanyan go wrong?
In Di Shan's heart, is there any recognition of Yu Hanyan, or any yearning for her with a clear love and hate relationship?
Ruan Qi's short words and several complex emotions instantly transformed Di Shan into a flesh-and-blood person.
Shen Wenqian, who had previously thought that Lv Jiayao's lines were good, finally understood why Wu Huai was dissatisfied with her.
It's the same sentence, why does it sound different when read by different people?
Shen Wenqian: "It's true that there is no harm without comparison..."
Bai Li, who was lying in the system watching the fun, sneered in contempt when he heard these words.
