His arrogance reminded Meng Yuqiao of someone who had already died.
However, the Su Manman in front of her was prettier than that person, and there was no doubt that … she was younger. It was appropriate to describe the woman in front of her as having skin of ice and bones of jade.
Meng Yuqiao avoided Su Manman's gaze in a sorry state and asked her assistant to bring her to do her makeup.
Su Manman knew that the first scene was between her and Meng Yuqiao. Although Meng Yuqiao's makeup had to be done from scratch, the most troublesome part of a costume drama wasn't the makeup, but the hairstyle.
However, Su Manman was a nitpicky person, especially when it came to beauty. She placed great importance on her appearance … Take her eyelashes for example. She definitely wouldn't wear fake eyelashes. Her eyelashes had to be brushed one by one. It was terrifying.
Hence, Su Manman's makeup could be described with two words … exquisite, and one word … slow!
By the time Meng Yuqiao was done with her makeup, Su Manman had just finished putting on her makeup.
Su Manman looked at herself in the mirror. Tsk tsk … it was a disaster for the country and the people.
To put it bluntly, "The Olden Days" was a romance drama with a mythical shell. Moreover, it was an extremely cliché romance drama.
It was about the love story of the Little Phoenix Empress and the Dragon Emperor, who symbolized auspiciousness in ancient times. Meng Yuqiao played the role of the disappointing Little Phoenix Empress, who was only an Exalted Immortal after cultivating for 100,000 years. The Dragon Emperor was naturally played by Gu Chengfeng.
Su Manman played the role of a female supporting character who had quite a lot of scenes. She was an elder of the Phoenix clan and was engaged to the Dragon Emperor of the Dragon clan. However, she had never gotten married to the Dragon Emperor. She planned to raise the Little Phoenix Empress and watch the Little Phoenix Empress cultivate to become an Exalted Immortal and inherit the position of the Phoenix Empress before getting married.
Later on, the fiancé of the Phoenix clan's elder was betrayed by the child she raised. She was betrayed by both her fiancé and her family. In a fit of anger, she became evil and ended up being killed by the male and female leads.
Su Manman didn't understand. Why did the scumbag Dragon Dog Phoenix Empress … live happily ever after?
In general, Su Manman liked this female supporting character very much. On the contrary, she hated the role of the female lead very much. This was also the reason why Su Manman didn't snatch the role of the female lead.
Logically speaking, the first scene should be the male lead, the female lead, and the supporting female. At the very least, the three of them should match the lines and go through the process.
But after the male and female leads had acted together, to Su Manman, a female supporting character who had invested in the production … acting together was nonexistent!
In the first scene, Little Phoenix followed her elder and lay on the parasol tree to drink. She didn't expect to accidentally fall from the parasol tree after drinking too much. Coincidentally, she was saved by the Dragon Emperor, who was looking for a female supporting role. From then on, Little Phoenix had feelings for the Dragon Emperor.
After putting on the wires for the actors, Su Manman got into position …
After Su Manman lay down on a parasol tree branch high up, the director raised the loudspeaker and told Su Manman how to act. Who knew that Su Manman wouldn't be happy and told the director to hurry up. She still needed to rest after filming.
Director: "…"
How should she put it? After all, this drama was the director's painstaking effort. She was also afraid that Su Manman would mess up her acting. After all, he had initially wanted to use Ming Xiaoxuan, but she was an actress who had brought money into the production. Not to mention a supporting role, even if she wanted the female lead, the director would still have to give her the role!
The director thought that there was no other way. He would just give Meng Yuqiao more screen time and give Su Manman less.
In her previous life, she had won the Best Actress Award. The moment she hit the board, Su Manman immediately entered the zone.
A gust of wind blew past, and her white clothes fluttered in the wind. Her black hair was tangled with the ribbon of her dress. She had one hand behind her head as she lay on the parasol tree and closed her eyes to drink. Her movements were elegant and carefree. This close-up shot was simply too beautiful …
Meng Yuqiao's performance wasn't bad either. She lay on a lower branch of the parasol tree and looked up at her elder, Feng Yi. At this time, Little Phoenix Feng Yu regarded her elder, Feng Yi, as her idol.
She seemed to have seen Su Manman's actions, and her eyes were filled with anticipation. She imitated Su Manman's actions and tried to lie down properly. Who knew that her body would be too stiff after drinking too much? She screamed and slid down from the parasol tree branch.
Dragon Emperor Jiuxiao, who happened to be looking for Elder Feng Yi, saw this and flew up to catch her in his arms.
This was Little Phoenix's first time seeing the Dragon Emperor, and her heart palpitated. She wrapped her arms around the Dragon Emperor's neck, her eyes palpitating. Even when the two of them landed on the ground, Little Phoenix, who was staring at the Dragon Emperor in a daze, didn't come back to her senses.
The fallen leaves of the parasol tree were mixed with the petals from the peach blossom forest in the distance. It was unbelievably romantic and beautiful …
"Why are you here?" Su Manman sat up, her movements the same as Meng Yuqiao's when she saw Su Manman.
Su Manman supported her body with one hand, one leg hanging down, and the other bent to step on a tree branch. She placed her elbow on her knee and gently shook the bottle. Her movements were sloppy and languid, yet there was a heart-palpitating arrogance and casualness about her. It was as if she was the most honorable queen in the world.
Meng Yuqiao's throat tightened. The moment Su Manman, who had brought money into the production, opened her mouth … Meng Yuqiao felt pressured.
"Cut!" The director's heart jumped to his throat.
Su Manman's acting skills were completely beyond the director's expectations. In this short scene, her lines … her movements, her gaze, and her rhythm could be said to be at a teaching level.
In comparison, Meng Yuqiao, who had been acting for many years, made the director feel a little disappointed. "Yuqiao, why are you looking at Su Manman? You should look at Teacher Gu … "
Meng Yuqiao hurriedly apologized. The moment Su Manman spoke, her attention was attracted. She completely forgot that she should have heard Su Manman's voice and quickly retreated from Gu Chengfeng's embrace.
The director was satisfied with Meng Yuqiao's performance this time. When she heard Su Manman's voice, she hurriedly got out of Dragon Emperor's embrace. She bowed like a girl and quickly ran away with a red face.
Before the scene restarted, the director had instructed them to give Su Manman more screen time. Moreover, Su Manman was so beautiful that it was suffocating. Even the cameraman was partial to her …
Su Manman watched as Little Phoenix escaped. She smiled and waved her hand. A bottle of wine flew towards Dragon Emperor. Dragon Emperor took it and flew up the parasol tree. He sat down beside Su Manman and drank a mouthful of wine before saying, "The elders are urging me to get married. I can only come here to ask."
Su Manman leaned lazily on Gu Chengfeng's back. Gu Chengfeng was a little surprised. This wasn't in the script, but he was the emperor after all … so he naturally smiled and turned to look at Su Manman.
"Fengyi, when do you plan to get married?" Gu Chengfeng's eyes were cold and calm as he asked calmly.
"When our Little Phoenix Yu becomes a god …" Su Manman crossed her feet and casually turned her head. There was a bright light in her eyes as she said calmly, "If you're in a hurry, why don't you accept Little Phoenix Yu as your disciple?"
"You're an elder of the Phoenix race. Why don't you accept the Phoenix Emperor as your disciple?"
She seemed to feel that her suggestion wasn't bad. She continued, "I'm used to being lazy. Why would I teach a disciple?"
