The Queen of Everything

Chapter 561: Complaints

After experiencing the others’ wonderful acting skills, Su Cha completely understood what the words sharp contrast meant.

The atmosphere changed the next day.

Han Yongbing was very strict with Shao Tianwen and Mu Jiao yesterday. Although they had NGed several times, there were no problems with their acting skills. Their expressions had always been normal.

When Jin Jiayu and Hua Nie were acting today, the scene was simply unbearable to watch.

Han Yongbing’s tightly furrowed brows made the other staff present feel like a storm was brewing.

In the distance, Mu Jiao sat on a chair and watched the show while eating melon seeds.

With the script on his back, Shao Tianwen occasionally looked up at the stage with a complicated expression.

How should he describe it?

The scene performed by Jin Jiayu and Hua Nie today was when Hua Nie was originally by the Crane Emperor’s side. The young Empress Dowager, Yu Wan, played by Jin Jiayu, wanted to know the current movements of the Crane Emperor. She also knew that the character Hua Nie played, Leng Yi, liked her, so she wanted to pry information from Leng Yi.

In the script, Yu Wan was young and scheming. As she had become the Empress Dowager too early, she took control of the harem. Now, the emperor was her puppet. She had immense power. Her words could turn many corners, making it hard for people to understand her thoughts.

She was also evil. You could tell that she was evil, but you could not tell when she spoke.

Yu Wan was gorgeous. Otherwise, the old emperor would not have taken a fancy to her.

Ambition. This was an aggressive woman. After all, if she killed the Crane Emperor, she might be able to replace the emperor in the future. Hence, such a role was extremely complicated.

Su Cha felt that the person behind Jin Jiayu must have a powerful background. Otherwise, it would not make sense for her to have the role.

For example, Yu Wan, who was acting as Leng Yi, was wearing gorgeous makeup. Her face was simple and elegant, and it seemed that she could not suppress such makeup. If she did not do well, she would appear frivolous. When she spoke to Leng Yi, she raised her eyebrows and smiled. She should have been scheming, but she gave off a sense of playfulness.

Han Yongbing’s brows were tightly furrowed. However, something had happened to Hua Nie. His lines were stuck. Han Yongbing, who was already furious, immediately shifted the blame to Hua Nie. “After reading the script for so long, you still stumbled with the lines. Can’t you say this clearly?”

It was obvious that he wanted the two of them to feel they’re being scolded together, but the problem with Hua Nie was too obvious.

Han Yongbing’s anger made Hua Nie shrink his neck in fear. “I’m sorry, Director.”

The apology was smooth, but Jin Jiayu tactfully kept silent.

Han Yongbing suppressed his anger for the time being. “Continue!”

Needless to say, his attitude was very different from yesterday.

In this probing scene, the two of them had failed several times due to different circumstances. In the end, Han Yongbing scolded directly, “Are you acting as the Empress Dowager or the girl from Qing Lou?”

Jin Jiayu’s face turned pale. Many people in the production crew touched their noses and tried to hold back their laughter.

“Rest for ten minutes!”

Han Yongbing had no choice but to announce that he would be resting for the time being. He sat to one side with a gloomy expression.

He knew very well in his heart that if Jin Jiayu had seriously analyzed this role, she would not have acted like this. Yet she still acted like this. He did not know whose face she was slapping.

The director was in a bad mood. Everyone in the production crew was nervous, except Mu Jiao, Shao Tianwen, and Su Cha.

Su Cha sat to one side. After a while, Hua Nie came over with a dejected expression. “I can’t act well all the time. I don’t know why, but maybe I just don’t have the talent to perform.”
