Chapter 445 - Compete

Jiang Yu’s gaze towards Li Yue was filled with kindness and consolation, and there was still a smile on her face.

Li Yue’s gaze towards Jiang Yu was not only filled with disdain and hatred, but also a desire to pull her down from her high position and step on her ruthlessly.

Li Yue was, after all, the movie queen. For a role like the imperial consort, it was as easy as flipping her hand.

However, her identity and ability were displayed here. The actors who usually acted with her would always be pressured by Li Yue at this time. They would either forget their lines or be in the wrong mood.

In short, it was difficult to continue acting in that scene.

However, not only did Jiang Yu catch Li Yue’s act, she also successfully continued acting.

Jiang Yu said, “You and I are both birds trapped in the palace. We can’t escape and we don’t have freedom. Why do we have to go through so much trouble here because of these things?”

Li Yue was a little surprised that Jiang Yu was able to handle her scene. It seemed like she had to use her full strength.

She pretended not to care and said, “The empress really likes to preach to others. But everyone knows how to preach. When things really happen, I’m afraid that even the Empress won’t be able to keep her cool, right?”

Jiang Yu smiled and said, “This is something of the future. Who can say for sure?”

“Cut!” The director quickly shouted “Cut!” and said, “Alright, this scene is over! One shot to the end, very good!”

The rest of the staff could not help but clap their hands.

“The two of you should go to the second scene next, right?” The director said.

Jiang Yu and Li Yue walked to an empty corner. Li Yue said, “I didn’t expect you to have some ability. You actually managed to catch my scene.”

Jiang Yu said, “It’s all thanks to the movie queen’s mercy that I was able to catch this scene.”

Li Yue said, “You really know how to talk. But regardless of whether you can catch my scenes or what kind of role you play, this year’s movie queen will still not be yours.”

Jiang Yu was completely focused on the script. Towards Li Yue’s words, Jiang Yu only smiled, “After all, you have won the movie queen award twice in a row. So this year’s movie queen award should be given to someone else, right?”

Li Yue sneered and asked, “Jiang Yu, do you think you can win this year’s movie queen award?”

Jiang Yu didn’t answer and asked instead, “Then, do you think you can definitely win it?”

Li Yue was well-known in this circle. This was the first time she had heard someone speak to her in such a tone.

“Jiang Yu, you!” Li Yue was a little annoyed, but she still tried hard to restrain herself, she said, “Jiang Yu, just wait and see. This year’s movie queen will definitely be me. And Mo Long, sooner or later, I will snatch him back from you.”

Jiang Yu smiled.

It seemed that Li Yue was challenging her.

“Anytime,” Jiang Yu said.

The shooting time for the second scene was up. Jiang Yu and Li Yue started shooting after they were ready.

This scene was very simple. It was a scene where the empress and noble consort exchanged a few words before returning to the palace.

The director originally thought that with Jiang Yu and Li Yue’s abilities, they would be able to finish shooting very quickly. After all, it wasn’t a difficult scene. Even if it was an ordinary actor, there wouldn’t be too many mistakes.

However, halfway through the act, Li Yue turned to the director and said, “Director, Jiang Yu’s gaze isn’t right. I can’t take this scene. Take a look, let’s start another scene.”

“Ah... okay.” The director said.

It was strange. He had clearly seen Jiang Yu’s performance just now. Her gaze and mood were very good. How could it be wrong? It even made it so that movie queen Li couldn’t continue to take the scene.

The director shook his head, not knowing what the reason was.
