Chapter 354 Being Suppressed
"What's wrong with you? You keep making stupid mistakes again and again," Lin Zhi was very annoyed and yelled at Fu Feiqian, "Everyone is cooperating with you and accommodating you, what else do you want? How come your acting is so bad? The extras are better than you!"
A feeling of shame and anger filled Fu Feiqian's heart.
She is a woman after all. No matter how arrogant her personality is or how strong her heart is, she still can't bear it when the director points at her nose and criticizes her poor acting skills in public.
At this moment, she seemed to be back to the time when she first entered the entertainment industry. She had finally begged for her first role, and on the set, the director pointed at her and scolded her for her poor acting skills.
She refused to give in, so she read the script ten times, memorized every line, and stayed up late to practice facial expressions and body movements in front of the mirror.
Hard work pays off. She finally became famous for her outstanding performance in this movie and got to know He Lushen. From then on, she no longer had to look at anyone's face. Now she has everything, but why does she feel like she is being stepped on?
She is not unprofessional. She also wants to become more famous. She has set a new goal for herself - to win the Best Actress title next year.
"Autumn Moon over the Han Palace" was a script she had been eyeing for a long time. Half a year ago, she had booked the role of Wang Zhaojun with He Lushen. Before filming, she read the script several times and memorized her lines by heart. She believed that she had a comprehensive and profound understanding of Wang Zhaojun, and she hoped to win the Best Actress award with this movie.
Therefore, the early filming of the movie went smoothly. She had no major conflicts with Lin Zhi and others, and had a harmonious relationship with other actors. All the changes began with the modification of the script. All her preparations were disrupted. She was at a loss and was forced to play an ugly role. How could she not be angry?

Fu Feiqian said to Lin Zhi, "The scene of the princess's enthronement had already been filmed. I remember that a female extra was standing in the position of Princess Huayang. Now that Liu Man has taken over, her brilliance is too great, overshadowing the empress in front of her. I think she is stealing the show."
Lin Zhi heard the hidden meaning in her words. She thought Liu Lan had stolen the limelight from her as the leading actress. Indeed, when Lin Zhi watched the replay again, he couldn't help but look at Liu Lan and ignored the original leading actress.
There is nothing wrong with what Fu Feiqian said. The most taboo thing when filming is to overshadow the protagonist. There are many reasons why the protagonist is overshadowed by the supporting role. It may be that the supporting role has excellent acting skills, or it may be that the supporting role's style and looks are far better than the protagonist. Obviously, Fu Feiqian thinks that she was overshadowed by Liu Man because of her style.
In order to vent her anger, Miao Xiaomei put all her effort into making Liu Lan look like a fairy. With the addition of Zhong Jiangnan's high-end Hanfu, Liu Lan was the most beautiful woman on the set wherever she stood!
Lin Zhi paused filming and went outside to discuss what to do with Tian Yafu and several assistant directors.
The actors took the opportunity to stretch their stiff bodies. Li Sitong was annoyed when she saw Fu Feiqian standing aside with her arms folded. She said, "You can blame the counter for the poor business."
Wang Xiangqin laughed, "Liu Man's look is indeed much better than Fu Feiqian's."
"You men are visual animals. This is not what real pressure plays."
As soon as Li Sitong finished speaking, Lin Zhi came towards them. The actors returned to their seats. Lin Zhi pointed at the small supporting role Zhang Xinyi and said to Liu Man, "Switch places with her."
The princess played by Zhang Xinyi stood in the corner, with only half of her face showing in the panoramic shot. It was difficult for the photographer to take a close-up of her in this position. Liu Man's original position was second only to Wang Xiangqin and Li Sitong in the C position.
With Liu Man's good temper, she would have readily agreed if it was any other time. But this time, she didn't want to give in for Fu Feiqian. She said, "Princess Huayang is the emperor's favorite daughter. How can she stand in the corner?"
Lin Zhi did not expect that the gentle Liu Lan would suddenly become tough. He patiently explained to Liu Lan what it meant to suppress the play. "The audience should focus on Wang Zhaojun when watching this play. Your appearance completely suppresses the heroine."
Liu Man argued, "Director Lin, you saw how many times Teacher Fu got stuck in her scenes today. I don't understand what's the meaning of "suppressing the performance". I just followed the script and my ideas to play Princess Huayang. I'm a newcomer and my acting skills are definitely not as good as Teacher Fu's. My clothes are not as good as Teacher Li's queen's robes, and my position is not as good as Teacher Wang's emperor's throne. My makeup is only slightly heavier than usual. After all, this is a grand ceremony for enthronement, and everyone is dressed in gorgeous clothes and makeup. It's not fair for you to criticize me for suppressing the performance."
