Black Mamba
In Mu Yan's plan, the big snake is the embodiment of evil and jealousy. She will take away Li Li and the people she cares about and destroy the entire world.
Now that Li Li plays the role of the big snake, she has the idea of changing the script.
The director of the car company noticed Mu Yan's thoughts and said lightly, "You finished revising the script one second, and a few seconds later, Hu Xuechun's agency came to interview you. Besides, it's just an advertisement. If you let Li Li be the heroine, you will harm her instead."
After being persuaded by the director, Mu Yan did not change the script.
When the group reunited to shoot a three-person commercial in the evening, Li Li started to change into human-shaped clothes again.
To fit the attributes of a snake.
Li Li was wearing a black wrap dress with a snake tail embroidered with black sequins below the waist, dark green scales painted on the back of her hands and the corners of her eyes, her black hair was tied up high, and she wore earth-colored eyeshadow with oxblood lipstick.
After finishing all these, Li Li still felt that it was not enough, so she asked the makeup artist: "Please give me black lipstick, and I want full eyeliner."
The makeup artist did as Li Li said, wiped off the eye shadow and lipstick, and replaced them with full eyeliner and black lipstick.
Li Li looked herself up and down but couldn't find anything wrong, so she stood up and put on her custom-made 18cm high heels. With her tall stature and slender figure, her aura was so overwhelming the moment she stood up that the makeup artist couldn't help but think of a snake she saw in Africa.
He blurted out: "Black Mamba."
In response, Li Li gave her a wicked look, baring her sharp teeth as she said to herself, "Thank you for the compliment."
Outside the door, everyone was ready. When Li Li came out of the dressing room, everyone on the set was attracted to her.
Unlike Hu Xuechun, who was wearing a leather jacket and leather pants and carrying a strangely shaped machine, exuding a sense of competence, Li Li's visual impact and dangerous aura just by standing there would attract the attention of others.
"No wonder they were cast to play sisters. Li Li looks a bit like Hu Xuechun in some ways."
"Wrong, Hu Xuechun and Li Li are somewhat similar." One of the cameramen answered.
The onlookers obviously smelled some gossip and rushed over.
"This story started 10 years ago. Hu Xuechun used to be a small blogger who was a comedian on the internet. You can find her if you search for her. Later, she was signed by an agency and became active as a model. People in the industry said that she looked a bit like Li Li from certain angles. Perhaps it was unintentional, but the listener took it seriously, so she started imitating Li Li's makeup and style, as well as her career path. Later, after Li Li got into trouble, Hu Xuechun's agent snatched away several of Li Li's film and television resources with extremely low bids."
"Does the person involved know?"
"Of course I don't know. Li Li had both guest roles snatched away from her at the time. It even went viral. Later, when Li Li got into trouble, Hu Xuechun posted a selfie saying it was daybreak, which led to speculation that Li Li had bullied her."
"Have you ever really bullied?"
"Only the person involved knows about this kind of thing. Who else can know the truth? However, now that Li Lai has returned, the most nervous person is Hu Xuechun."
Advertising shooting is extremely fast, and emotional expression can no longer be expressed in words. Body language is the most intuitive.
Hu Xuechun and Jing Shengxi are a couple, so hugging and holding hands are a must, and they have to hold hands in front of the villain Li Li.
After each shot, Mu Yan would ask her how she felt.
How could she feel? How could she feel in front of so many people?
"Great! A handsome man and a beautiful woman. What a pleasing pair."
Mu Yan shook his head and gave guidance: "You should be feeling jealous."
Seeing Li Lai's confused look, Mu Yan thought she didn't know what jealousy was, and continued, "Just think about it this way. You used to like Jing Shengxi very much, but now you see her with other women, and you feel jealous and possessive."
What do you think when you see him with other women?
Unexpectedly meeting Jing Shengxi's eyes, Li Li hurriedly looked away and suddenly asked a word whose rapid heartbeat made her completely understand.
A guilty conscience.
Suddenly I remembered the first time I heard the scandal about Jing Shengxi. The heroine was not me, but an actress from the same crew as him.
We all make a living in the same circle. Even if we don't say it explicitly, everyone knows who is the couple on the set, and who studies the script all night long.
When Li Li heard it from other people, he felt as if the blood rushed to his brain. He felt dizzy and couldn't hear what others were saying. He just knew that Jing Shengxi was having an affair with someone else.
Li Lai thought that spreading rumors was a way to maintain exposure.
Then why didn’t Jing Shengxi tell himself first?
Yes, are you tired of yourself?
Or has the intersection of truth and falsehood begun?
In order to protect both parties and their own careers, things like feelings cannot be exposed.
So, his relationship with others is exposed?
Taking out his cell phone, Li Li did not call Jing Shengxi to confirm, but searched for information about the girl on the Internet.
A young and beautiful actress of the new generation, she comes from a privileged family and graduated from a prestigious university. She is a perfect match for Jing Shengxi in every aspect, even her zodiac sign and blood type.
Putting down the phone, Li Li was very jealous of that girl.
It’s not because she has a scandal with Jing Shengxi, but compared to her, I can’t compare to her in any aspect.
On the second day after the incident, the hot searches related to them were overtaken by those of other celebrities.
At the same time, Jing Shengxi sent a message, saying, "Don't believe what you say on the Internet. This pearl necklace I saw at a jewelry exhibition really suits you."
The necklace really suits me, but I just want a clear answer.
When it was his turn to shoot, he was filled with the sour and complicated emotions of that day. Li Li didn't know whether he wanted to ask or just follow the lines.
"Your relationship with her makes me jealous and makes me feel completely different. I want you to answer me in person, what exactly is your relationship with her?"
"It's the person I like, the one I want to be with."
I'm so angry. I'm clearly filming a commercial, why am I crying?
According to the script, Li Lai took out the dagger hidden in her hand while turning around and put it against Jing Shengxi's neck. She was a paranoid person who would destroy him if she couldn't get him. She wanted to destroy Jing Shengxi.
"Do you want to destroy him?" I remember someone saying this to me.
He is such a good person. I hope he will have a safe and smooth life without any illness or disaster.
According to the script, Jing Shengxi would escape from his threat, and he would choose to push him off the tall building in a fit of rage. Hu Xuechun was driving down the building.
He also saw the two of them driving away with his own eyes. He became evil out of jealousy and began to hate his sister and the earth.
Li Li's eyes were fixed on the direction where the two people were walking away. The slight change in her expression made her go from jealous to distorted.
I hate it so much. I hate that I am not the leading actor. I hate that I can no longer tell whether I am acting or expressing my true feelings. I hate that I shouldn’t have agreed to let you live upstairs.
The overhead light flashed, indicating that the shooting of this shot was completed and waiting for Mu Yan to speak.
The studio was quiet as the makeup artist came to touch up Li Lai's makeup.
"Li Lai, please reshoot a few more scenes of you and Hu Xuechun showing their sisterly love."
Li Li answered loudly: "Okay"
The scenes with Hu Xuechun were also based on the script, which arranged for the two of them to hold an umbrella in the rain and talk about their personal matters in bed at night.
When Li Li went to the dressing room to change her clothes, she heard people whispering.
"If Li Li and Hu Xuechun were to play a loving sister, it would cause a huge uproar."
"They are professionals. Besides, Hu Xuechun has such a good personality, she won't get into conflict with others."
"Alas, I'm afraid Li Li will deliberately do something bad to Hu Xuechun."
The conversation outside the room continued, scaring the staff inside to cough continuously. No one outside took it seriously. When Li Li came out after changing her clothes, everyone outside was shocked.
Being talked about by others is also a common thing, but Li Li is not stupid enough to lose her temper or sulk.
Acting out the sisterly love scenes hand in hand with Hu Xuechun, Li Li felt that it was all a thing of the past life. There was a rift between the two of them, a rift that was well known to both parties. Now they could act under the same umbrella, all because the client gave them money.
Sitting on the bed made of wooden boxes, Mu Yan asked the two of them to chat about some interesting things. What could they say? She didn't even find Hu Xuechun's own jokes funny.
Li Li quickly recalled her acting teacher's teachings on how to mobilize actors' emotions. An idea popped into her head, and she said to Hu Xuechun, "They said the data from your last play was inflated. It wasn't as good as we imagined."
"Who said that? My last drama was broadcast on TV and aired during prime time."
As soon as her work was mentioned, Hu Xuechun's emotions immediately became aroused. With a sound of the clappers, the two of them continued to perform.
After the filming was completed, someone noticed something was wrong.
The director asked Mu Yan with some doubt: "Is it my illusion? Why do I feel that Hu Xuechun has always been led by Li Li in the performance?"
"It's not your illusion. Now we can see that this character has an active position. Otherwise, he wouldn't do something like destroying the earth."
"Is this okay? Li Li is only the third lead, stealing the show from the main character. I won't be able to report this to the agency."
"She's in a play, and there's an admission fee to see her performance. Just consider it a bargain and enjoy a free play."
The director still had concerns and continued, "Have you thought about how to report this to the agency?"
Mu Yan didn't answer. He waited for two shots to end and asked Li Lai and the other girl to perform a few more times.
Two shots required performing the show three or four times, and Hu Xuechun was a little unhappy. She started to act like a spoiled brat with her assistant, hoping that the assistant would put on a smile and coax her into finishing the filming of the commercial.
"But I'm very tired. It's tiring to mobilize my emotions."
"You're tired, and Li Li is just as tired. Can you be outdone by her?"
Upon hearing what Assistant Shuo said, Hu Xuechun felt as if facing a formidable enemy. Watching Li Li go to talk to the director, his fighting spirit ignited in his heart.
She used to be suppressed by her, but in recent years, while she was no longer in the circle, she had finally established her foothold. She really couldn't let herself be surpassed by Li Li.
He trotted over to Mu Yan and said, “Director, let’s do it again.
Li Li has few scenes, and the CG for the alien part has been recorded, so this work can be considered a successful completion.
She shook hands with the main actors one by one, expressing that they would collaborate again if there was a chance. When she walked up to Jing Shengxi, Li Li took the initiative to extend her hand: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Jing Shengxi."
Jing Shengxi reached out and shook his hand. Although his face was stern, he was very happy to see him. "I have nothing to do with that actress. It was written by a marketing account she bribed. I didn't tell you because I have already notified her company and forbid them from using malicious marketing tactics anymore."
Is it too late to wait for your explanation now?
