Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Background: Cold Palace[1]
Characters: Meng Changge, Princess Xian
In the ruined palace, Ning Xi sat on the wide, big chair, and looked down arrogantly with contempt, while Guan Xiaoqi was full of anger and humiliation.
Guo Qisheng saw this and his eyebrows softened. Eh? Guan Xiaoqiâs expressionâŚactually looked good!
Next, Ning Xi looked at her disdainfully as if she was looking at a corpse, "Princess Xian, do you know why I hate you so much? Why I must take away your chances of surviving?"
As Ning Xi finished her lines, Guo Qisheng's eyebrows knitted and he was already prepared to stop after Guan Xiaoqiâs first line. The cameraman was adjusting his equipment casually as well.
All the crew members and artiste had had enough of Guan Xiaoqiâs usual arrogant ways, and everyone was waiting to see a good showâŚ
"Witch! Youâre jealous of me! Youâre jealous that the emperor likes me! Jealous that Iâm favored!" Guan Xiaoqi read out her lines angrily, as her eyes became red. Damn it! Fang Ya and all these people, all of them, they were jealous of her!
Everyone was shocked by Guan Xiaoqiâs lines.
Eh?! She didnât misread any of her lines, and actually had a really good expression and tone...
Even Guan Xiaoqi was shocked herself, but Ning Xi quickly continued her lines to avoid her losing focus.
"Huh, me, jealous? Jealous that you are favored by that dumb old man?"
Guan Xiaoqi went along with Ning Xiâs line and acted the next part naturally. She pulled an unbelievable face, "Princess De! YouâŚAre you mad? I want to talk to the emperor! I will tell the emperor that you insultedâŚ"
Ning Xi made Guan Xiaoqi back off with a harsh stare, and then spoke, "Princess Liang, do you know who I am? Do you still rememberâŚthe name of Meng Changge?"
As everyone watched up to this point, they held their breath and stared intensely. The atmosphere was tense, and they were whispering in disbelief: "Guan Xiaoqi is in luck, she hasnât gotten cut off up till now!"
Fang Ya laughed coldly, "Hehe, it will be anytime soon, just wait and see!"
"True, Jia Qingqing was cut off at the next line for 33 times!"
With Ning Xiâs gloomy stare, Guan Xiaoqiâs face was full of fear, "Youâre Meng Changge? How is it possible that youâre Meng Changge? Meng Changge is already dead! This is impossible! Impossible!"
Ning Xi closed in slowly, "Zhao Wanrou, if youâre not dead yet, why would I be? Even if I was dead, I would crawl right back up from hell! Then I'll pull you down to die with meâŚ"
"Ah! Donât you come over hereâŚDonât come overâŚ" Guan Xiaoqi screamed in fear.
Zhang Rui reminded the director: "DirectorâŚcut! Cut!"
Thanks to the co-directorâs reminder, the director returned to his senses and quickly shouted, "Cut!"
This sceneâŚhad actually passedâŚon the first takeâŚ
The moment Guo Qisheng shouted "Cut!", no one reacted. It was only after a while that everyone started discussing excitedly:
"Oh my god! Did the sun just rise from the west? Guan Xiaoqi actually passed?"
"And it was on first take!"
"What has gotten into her?!"
Fang Ya had a livid expression, as she stood up and objected, "How is this possible! Director, how could you let her pass? SheâŚshe didnât do well at all! Her expressions and actions were too exaggerated!"
