Instead of going directly to watch the show, I randomly found some clips of people complaining about it on Weibo.
She hadn't even finished reading her own script, so how could she be in the mood to immerse herself in appreciating Qin Yueling?
I enjoyed some fan-made content and found some吐槽 (tu cao, a type of humorous commentary) videos.
Thanks to the hype of "the premiere of the first drama after the TV Queen's return," many people had high expectations and went to see it right after the premiere.
Then he was fed feces.
The title "Farewell to You" immediately suggests a drama with a strong sense of national and familial sentiment, as it depicts a farewell between two people.
Qin Yueling plays the female lead in the drama, who is an empress, an ever-victorious general, and is supported by the people.
However, he doted on a defeated prisoner he had taken in, and despite the objections of his ministers, he kept him in the harem.
However, the Empress needed to go on another expedition and feared she might not return, so she dismissed the harem and bid farewell to the Emperor.
It recounts the hardships the empress endured during her military campaign, subtly exposes the male protagonist's true identity, and ultimately leads to her victory and the crowning of empress.
The "Empress" in this script, who is played by Qin Yueling, has a very high level of personal charm.
If she performs well, she's sure to gain a lot of fans this time.
Unfortunately, I had the will but not the ability.
With only eight episodes released, Qin Yueling is already being bombarded with criticism.
She's weak and spineless when shouting on the battlefield, only knows how to glare when she discovers the male lead's disguise, and her voice is incredibly sweet and affected when discussing tactics with him...
Such are the kinds of complaints.
Xu Zhaozhao got goosebumps just looking at it.
Her acting was completely different from the "Empress" in the book, how can that not be considered a kind of skill?
Xu Zhaozhao then opened the comment section of this吐槽 video.
[What were they bragging about during the show's promotion? They said the entire series used the actors' own voices... This empress's sweet voice makes me want to punch her! [Angry]]
[Lingling clearly acted very well, can't you watch the original drama before criticizing? I'm really fed up with these fan-made videos, is it really meaningful to magnify some trivial things?]
[I watched the original series, but I didn't get enough of the criticism, so I came to watch this uploader's rant. I have to say something fair: this uploader has actually been quite lenient with their words. [spitting]]
What's with the title "Farewell to You"? Let me translate it for you: This drama is called "Me, a Silly Girl, My Crush Keeps Getting More Amazing."
The script is fine; it's all the actors' fault. (I heard this show was bought with an IP; the original author is really unlucky.)
...
Alright, Xu Zhaozhao understands the situation now.
In this drama, apart from the clothes Qin Yueling wears and the horse she rides, nothing about her has anything to do with the Empress.
Especially her brain.
The innocent and pure image is her comfort zone, and she won the "Best Actress" award because of her role as a pure and innocent school beauty.
Why didn't she use her brain to think about it? Why did she come to play an empress?
Xu Zhaozhao usually doesn't have the time to comment on people in the industry, but if it's Qin Yueling, she'll definitely have to step on her a few times.
I opened the input box and edited a Weibo post.
Xu Zhaozhao v: @Qin Yueling v Empress, your acting is superb! Even my ducks are quacking after watching it. I want to learn from you, Empress!
How many people on Produce 101 can reach her level? [Innocent][Question]
After editing, click send.
I originally wanted to directly criticize her, but then I remembered her cryptic remarks in the apology video.
If she doesn't go back, she won't be Xu Zhaozhao.
[Yes, yes, @秦月灵v Empress Sister's acting is superb! I agree with Sister Zhao!!]
[If you've insulted Qin Yueling, you can't insult our Sister Zhao anymore~ [winking]]
Am I the only one with such peculiar observations? Why are there ducks at Sister Zhao's house...? (Face turns pale)
[Hey little ones, pay attention! Don't just blindly criticize! Our Sister Zhao is praising your idol! [winking emoji]]
[I'd love to know too. @秦月灵v Goddess of Bad Movies~ How many people would it take to reach your level? I'm so envious~]
...
After all, Xu Zhaozhao's Weibo post didn't contain a single word that belittled Qin Yueling. Although it was attacked by Qin Yueling's fans, it didn't cause too much of a stir.
It felt so good to scold Qin Yueling.
Xu Zhaozhao logged out of Weibo and sent a message to Sister Yan.
Shh: I can't get all the gossip about Sister Yan! Her nickname is so well-acted, I couldn't help but post on Weibo to praise her.
Yan Jie: [Don't make me slap you.jpg]
Sister Yan: Luckily you're my boss, I'll shut up.
Xu Zhaozhao chuckled softly.
Of course she knew what Yan Jie meant; if her artist posted such a Weibo post...
That's sure to make Sister Yan so angry she'll end up in the hospital.
After sending the WeChat message, Xu Zhaozhao went downstairs to have lunch.
After finishing his meal, he took out his pen to prepare to read the script.
She searched under the pillow for a long time but found nothing. After picking up the pillow, she still didn't see the script she had stuffed in there yesterday.
? ?
Did a ghost take her script?
Just as I was worrying, I spotted the script on a nearby desk.
It was unfolded, flipped to the second half that Xu Zhaozhao hadn't seen yet, and held down with a red pen, the edge of the white sticky note swaying slightly.
The above is Gu Qingyan's handwriting: I've highlighted the important points for you.
Xu Zhaozhao paused.
This guy is wrapping up filming today, and he even got up early to highlight the important points for her?
Smoothing aside the sticky note and red pen, Xu Zhaozhao picked up her script and looked through the key points that Gu Qingyan had highlighted for her.
Xu Zhaozhao didn't watch the rest of the plot or make any annotations, so the small red triangle symbol was easy to find.
After carefully looking through all the places marked with those four small red triangles.
The slight feeling of emotion in Xu Zhaozhao's heart vanished instantly.
What a scumbag!
I highlighted the four kissing scenes in the second half of the film for her.
The script's focus is on the kissing scene.
Absurd! Outrageous! Love-struck!
Xu Zhaozhao cursed Gu Qingyan in her heart.
I turned to the page I hadn't read and sat down at my desk to quietly make annotations.
We just had a falling out with Qin Yueling today. If she acts even worse than Qin Yueling, then it will be incredibly embarrassing.
It's alright.
Anyway, Xu Zhaozhao is shameless.
After reading half of the remaining material, and getting really bored with the script, Xu Zhaozhao even considered just giving up and acting in a terrible movie instead.
Being the female lead is really tough.
Just as I was about to take out my phone to rest, "Little Pig's" WeChat popped up.
Piglet: No matter what, it's the most special.
Perhaps the words were a bit ambiguous, because another message popped up quickly.
Little Pig: I'm not talking about the show, I'm talking about you.
Looks like the wrap party is over, now I even have time to send her cheesy pickup lines.
Xu Zhaozhao unwrapped a strawberry candy she had taken from Yu Yu and absentmindedly replied to Gu Qingyan's message.
Shh: Teacher Gu, are you really going to risk your acting reputation for me? [Pity][Pity]
Shh: [My mental breakdown is about to erupt!! .jpg]
piggy:?
Little Pig: Should we ask Chi Li to take a look?
Xu Zhaozhao is really going crazy now.
