"It's about the script."
Xu Shuiqing, such a famous actress, actually has questions about the script and wants to ask me for advice
Meng Yao became interested: "I don't know much, but I am very happy to help you."
Xu Shuiqing turned to a page of the script: "This part has troubled me for a long time. I should be thankful that this scene is not to be filmed today, so I have some time to think about it."
"Look here, I always feel that the treatment of this part is not appropriate, it's not quite right, but I don't have a better idea..."
Meng Yao moved towards Xu Shuiqing and leaned over to take a look at the contents of the script.
Meng Yao was inevitably uncomfortable stretching her neck to analyze the script. Just as Xu Shuiqing was about to hand the script over, he heard Meng Yao's voice:
"I remember that the character you played was an independent strong woman. Look here. It's not that there is a lack of tension, but the logic is not right. She won't act so weak. Even if she is betrayed, she won't cry, because she is a very strong person. She won't allow her vulnerability to be exposed to everyone."
Meng Yao pointed her white fingers at one place, her expression unusually serious.
Xu Shuiqing thought about it and murmured, "That's true. What do you think if this crying scene is replaced with 'smashing a water cup in anger'?"
Meng Yao nodded slowly: "Sounds good."
She said and moved back to her seat.
Xu Shuiqing said with a smile: "Thank you very much. But I just didn't have time to explain the character of the role I played to you. I didn't expect you to understand it so clearly."
Meng Yao crossed her legs and said nonchalantly, "Well... I've read the original novel, so I have some impression of it."
"Have you read the original novel?" Xu Shuiqing smiled and said, "Yaoyao has a good memory."
"so so."
Xue Yali was still wearing her stage costume, and because the clothes were quite thick, there was some sweat on her forehead.
She took the mirror and suddenly frowned: "Why are you sweating so much? My makeup is all ruined. Quick, hurry to the dressing room. What if someone takes a picture of us?"
"Wait... bring the mask over first."
The assistant hurriedly handed her a mask.
Xue Yali tucked her hair behind her ears and suddenly stopped: "Wait, is that Meng Yao...?"
"And... is the person wearing a black shirt with his back to us Xu Shuiqing?" Xue Yali's voice was filled with surprise, and she squinted her eyes to allow herself to see more clearly.
Then she felt it was impossible. Xu Shuiqing was such a big movie star, how could Meng Yao be related to him
The assistant next to him was also sweating profusely. She kept wiping the sweat off her forehead and looking ahead frantically: "It looks a bit like..."
Xu Shuiqing in front of her turned her head slightly, and the assistant confirmed: "It's Queen Xu! It's Queen Xu! She should be here to film a scene today."
Xue Yali narrowed her eyes and clenched her hands: "Xu Shuiqing? What are they... doing?"
The assistant glanced ahead and said, "It seems they are discussing the script."
"Discussing the script? Are they already so close? Doesn't Xu Shuiqing always dislike others pestering her? Now she is willing to guide the script for Meng Yao?"
Xue Yali frowned after she finished speaking.
Meng Yao is just a person with a backer, but now she can chat with Xu Shuiqing...
No wonder everyone says Meng Yao’s acting skills have improved a lot. It turns out that Xu Shuiqing gave her private guidance
Xue Yali recalled the gossip she had heard before. It seemed that the reason why Meng Yao was so popular on the podium was inseparable from Ling Xiao's help.
How could she be so lucky? All the best actors and actresses favored her
I guess it has something to do with the financial sponsor behind her...
Xue Yali's mood suddenly became complicated.
"Have you seen Meng Yao's drama? I don't know who initially spread the news that Meng Yao's acting was not very good, but now it seems to be complete nonsense. I think she deserved the award she won some time ago!"
"This is my first time meeting Meng Yao. In my mind, Meng Yao is just a vase who likes to act big. But now it seems that is not the case at all. She is not only a good actress but also very hardworking. I often see her studying scripts, even though she always holds a candy in her mouth..."
"Yes, at first I heard people say that Meng Yao relied on capital to join the group. Now I realize that Meng Yao's acting skills are so good. She is simply 'Jiang Jian' herself!"
"I think Director Huang's attitude towards her is really good. This has never happened before. I don't understand. Are they related? Is that why Director Huang is so caring towards her?"
"Relatives? Not really... I always feel that Director Huang's attitude towards Meng Yao is indescribably respectful. It feels like, rather than a relative relationship, they are a bit more like... a superior and a subordinate?"
…
Xue Yali heard every word the people around her said. The sun was still scorching hot, but she no longer cared about the heat because her heart was filled with inexplicable anger.
Yes, Director Huang’s attitude towards Meng Yao is indescribably good, especially his slightly humble gesture, as if he was treating Meng Yao like an ancestor.
Xue Yali retracted her gaze, her eyes heavy: "Let's go to the dressing room."
*
After finishing filming, Meng Yao returned to the RV to eat snacks. The weather was a little hot today, so Meng Yao simply stayed in the RV and did not go out.
Putting down the iced drink in her hand, Meng Yao couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction: "You know what, being a star is really cool."
There is no harm without comparison. Compared with this comfortable world, the life I lived before was simply unbearable.
"Sister Meng, didn't you say that you would take care of your health in the future? Why are you drinking Coke now?" Xiao Song asked.
"Isn't Brother Liang not here? Besides, I drink occasionally, and it's okay to drink occasionally..."
Suddenly, an assistant named Xiao Zhang came running over in a panic: "Oh no, oh no! Xiaoying and Xue Yali's people are arguing?"
Xiaoying is a new assistant who has tied her hair into a bun and looks like a girl next door, but she has a straightforward and explosive temper.
Meng Yao put down the cup in her hand and asked, "What's going on?"
“This, this, this… Just now, Xiaoying walked over with a cup in her hand, and then, she met…” The assistant seemed very excited and somewhat incoherent.
Meng Yao frowned and put down the drink in her hand: "Let's go and take a look together."
