"Tonight?" The courtesan slightly raised her hand, extending a lotus root-like arm. "Are you blind, with eyes that are all you have? Of course I was sleeping peacefully when your people took me away."
"Enough, Di San, put your knife away," Xiao Fengque said coldly. "Mianmian, sit back down."
The courtesan's delicate, rose-petal-like lips twitched noticeably, as if she regretted not being able to tease the man before her a little longer. But she still obediently floated back to her seat.
Xiao Fengque stood up.
Xiao Fengque bent down, picked up a strand of the courtesan's hair that had fallen over her shoulder, and gently sniffed it.
The courtesan instinctively stepped back, but after realizing her awkwardness, she stopped herself and said with a charming smile, "Young Master, this isn't the place for business."
Xiao Fengque gazed deeply into the courtesan's shimmering eyes.
Pale eyes met jet-black pupils.
Xiao Fengque's face was extremely close; the tip of his nose almost touched her cheek. Xiao Fengque did not move, his gaze fixed on the courtesan's temple, his warm breath brushing against her jade-like face.
A flicker of panic flashed in the courtesan's beautiful eyes.
Xiao Fengque suddenly smiled.
Xiao Fengque whispered into the courtesan's ear, his lips brushing against her earlobe, "Miss Mianmian, can you tell me why you cover your ears with rouge when you go to bed?"
Ear holes are also called ear piercings.
As he spoke, Xiao Fengque reached out and gently pinched the courtesan's earlobe. The gesture was extremely ambiguous, but their gazes turned as cold as winter sand in that instant.
The courtesan's body trembled.
"Cut!"
Thank goodness, although Yang Huanyi forgot the lyrics twice in the middle, Shang Yechu and Xie An covered for him and fooled him.
Yi Tianzhao seemed fairly satisfied and didn't request a reshoot, only asking Shang Yechu to touch up her makeup. They would be reshooting close-ups later.
Yang Huanyi was even busier than Shang Yechu. Not only did she need to touch up her makeup, but she also had to review the script again. There was still a long dialogue scene to come, and she couldn't afford to forget her lines like she had before.
Only Li Yi stood there dumbfounded. Yi Tianzhao stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed, "Your acting has improved, hasn't it? Those two sword moves you made just now were really cool."
Li Yi awkwardly touched his knife: "Actually, I'm still not used to it. This knife is too light..."
"It's a prop knife. I think you acted quite well." Yi Tianzhao didn't pay much attention to this remark, praised Li Yi a couple more times, and then left.
Li Yi frowned slightly. Actually, he really wanted to tell Yi Tianzhao that he hadn't acted in those scenes... or rather, that he hadn't acted them himself.
Li Yi had never acted before and didn't know how to describe the feeling. It was as if as long as Shang Yechu stood in front of him and performed, he could be easily drawn into the scene and unconsciously do things that fit the character's setting.
He even uttered those lines smoothly, as if his mouth had become unruly.
Li Yi was a newcomer to acting and didn't know that skilled actors could draw their co-stars into the scene. After thinking it over, he decided to ask Shang Yechu.
Meanwhile, Yang Huanyi, who was flipping through the script, suddenly asked his assistant, "What's the name of the actress who plays the courtesan?"
The assistant was taken aback, racked his brains for a moment, and shook his head: "I don't know, I've never seen it before."
Yang Huanyi clicked his tongue: "Not bad acting. A hundred times better than that one."
The "that person" Yang Huanyi mentioned is Wei Yize, a popular celebrity in the entertainment industry. "The Special Envoy of the City" is a film Yang Huanyi collaborated on with him. Wei Yize was the lead actor, and Yang Huanyi was the second lead.
Wei Yize's popularity in the entertainment industry is soaring, with countless commercial endorsements and fans readily comparing sales figures. But when it comes to filming... Yang Huanyi doesn't even want to talk about it.
How can someone not even be able to control their basic facial features? Has they had too much plastic surgery? Has their aesthetic treatment become stunted? Or are they simply incapable?
Let alone going back thirty years, even ten years, this kind of acting skill would be absolutely trash in the Chinese entertainment industry.
In the movie, Yang Huanyi and Wei Yize play a couple in a relationship where the woman is older than the man. However, when acting opposite Wei Yize, Yang Huanyi felt like she was playing an unlucky homeroom teacher, earnestly persuading a struggling student in her class to study harder, only to find that the student had already fallen asleep!
Without exaggeration, Yang Huanyi felt that Wei Yize's acting skills could only be described in four words.
Leave it to fate.
You do your thing, I'll do mine. As for the outcome, let's leave it to fate!
When Yang Huanyi arrived at the "Tianji Tower" production team, exhausted both physically and mentally, she didn't have high hopes. After all, the production of "Tianji Tower" was much smaller than that of "The Special Envoy of the Dangerous City," and the quality of the actors might be even worse.
Surprisingly, a newcomer gave me a little surprise!
When acting opposite that courtesan, Yang Huanyi immediately felt that he was no longer a pitiful wretch performing a solo act. On the contrary, the tension, the chemistry, and the other actor's reaction speed, movement, and direction were in no way inferior to any veteran actor Yang Huanyi had ever worked with!
But the other person was clearly a complete newcomer. With such looks and acting skills, they should have made a name for themselves in the industry.
Yang Huanyi couldn't help but wonder if she had become desperate from working with Wei Yize for so long that she thought everyone else was a good actor?
Actually, that newcomer's acting skills were just so-so.
