Although Yan Mumu in the camera sat back and pretended to be calm, her little hands under her sleeves were still twisting the handkerchief. Anyone who looked carefully could see that she was more nervous than before.
Cicheng and Wu Yang looked at each other and saw the satisfaction in each other's eyes.
Yan Mumu is a lady from a wealthy family. Although she likes He Sheng very much, she still has her own reserve. In this scene, Yan Mumu did not put poison in the wine from the beginning. She put poison in the wine because she had no choice but to do it after her persuasion to He Sheng failed. She wanted to save He Sheng in this way.
If Xia Wan'er rushed forward hastily at this moment, it would be inappropriate.
According to the background, at this time He Sheng had already decided to set out to find the legendary Beast Mountain in order to help Mudan collect the Seven-Colored Immortal Herb. This time he came to see Yan Mumu, firstly to say goodbye, secondly to return the engagement token to Yan Mumu, and thirdly to entrust his nearly fifty-year-old mother to Yan Mumu.
Yan Mumu, with the help of her lover, the grass demon, who came to repay her gratitude, also knew the whole story in advance. When she found that her persuasion to He Sheng was useless, she added the lover's honey given by her lover, the grass demon, into the wine, and the two spent the night together, but He Sheng still left.
Wu Yang's original plan was to have someone edit a comparison version of Xia Wan'er and Ying Yao after the audition and put it online to help hype up "Flying Fairy".
I didn't expect Xia Wan'er to be so impressive. She has changed her stiffness and exaggeration during the audition and is almost as good as a professional. The things shot here are not much different from the formal shooting. It's just that the venue is relatively simple, so these things can't be used directly in the finished film.
But it is still possible to edit it into a trailer and hype it up. By then, the hot searches on various platforms will be "Feixian audition" and "Xia Wan'er's acting skills", which will definitely last longer than Xia Wan'er's embarrassment. Maybe it can attract several more sponsors, increase popularity, and win a few more awards...
Of course he wanted to win the award, otherwise he wouldn't have followed Cicheng's suggestion and tried every means to invite Qiao Mingye to play the male lead. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to Si Min to use Xia Wan'er to stir up the popularity and then replace her with Ying Yao, who has relatively better acting skills.
But now it seems that Xia Wan'er is better.
Just as he was imagining the future, He Sheng on the monitor explained his purpose to Yan Mumu.
Yan Mumu didn't take the jade pendant that He Sheng handed over. She raised her head with red eyes and questioned him, her tone already faintly tearful: "Are you really going to break off the engagement with me for Mudan?"
After the line was spoken, the camera immediately captured a close-up of Qiao Mingye. Looking at the enlarged handsome face in front of her, Xia Wan'er muttered "scumbag" in a low voice.
The voice was so quiet that only Qiao Mingye heard it. His hands trembled slightly, and he looked at Xia Wan'er intently, with a hint of guilt in his eyes. But after seeing the bright peony embroidered on his sleeve, he became firm and sincere again, and handed the jade pendant forward again, saying, "Peony saved my life, and I can't let a weak woman like her go to the Beast Mountain alone."
After he finished speaking, the camera began to capture a close-up of Xia Wan'er.
At the same time, Xia Wan'er heard very clearly a very quiet sentence that only she could hear, low and magnetic: "You really impressed me."
It seems that Qiao Mingye was not only not affected by her words, but he even started to fight back.
Xia Wan'er snorted in her heart, but did not show it on her face. When it comes to acting, she has never been afraid of anyone.
Everyone saw Yan Mumu sitting back on the stool, tears in her eyelashes, looking pitiful, without the domineering aura she had just had.
"Okay, if you want me to cancel the engagement, you can. Tonight you can get me drunk. After tonight, you and I will have nothing to do with each other. We will part ways and have nothing to do with each other."
