Chapter 562 - Impeccable Acting Skills (6)

Xiang Yi was dumbfounded but she nodded accommodatingly. “Okay, that works for me too.”

The staff on set were all dumbfounded.

‘What’s going on? Shouldn’t it be the demoness seducing the Immortal Venerable? How can it be the other way around?’

‘Isn’t this out of character!?!’

Having gotten a flash of inspiration, Director Zheng rattled on, “The plot just has to be logical and self-consistent. What matters is the tension between you two. The demoness has a sultry and enchanting appearance but a pure heart. Meanwhile, the Immortal Venerable has an ascetic appearance and a demonic character. One is mesmerizing without knowing it while the other is trying to curb his urges but ultimately cannot restrain himself…”

The scriptwriter was a young lady wearing black-framed glasses. Hearing the director’s words, she excitedly typed away on the keyboard rapidly.

Ouch!

‘This really gives me the feels! So much feels!’

‘Director Zheng is so good at it! A fragment of her imagination results in countless scenes that will cause a huge sensation!’

Usually, when she was asked to change the script, she would have a deadpan expression on her face and look like she was overwrought. However, today, she eagerly added a few thousand words’ worth of content to the plot out of her own accord!

When Director Zheng and Xiang Yi were almost done discussing, the screenwriter also took the initiative to show Director Zheng the edited plot.

After reading it, Director Zheng was overjoyed. “Yes, yes! This is the feeling and vibe that I’m looking for!

He then exclaimed in puzzlement, “You’re usually so unmotivated to work, why are you so zealous today!?”

The screenwriter was screaming from within. ‘Because I’m a fan of the UntimelyCouple!’

However, she kept a straight face and said, “Because I decided to start afresh and give all my passion for work.”

“…” Director Zheng looked at her in disbelief for a few seconds before focusing on Xiang Yi again.

He was a little worried about Xiang Yi’s acting skills.

If it was just lousy, he could still help her improve by explaining the scenes to her and guide her along.

However, in case it’s hopelessly terrible…

He would probably have to let Shi Sui be the focus of that scene while Xiang Yi just looks pretty.

Shi Sui and Xiang Yi had excellent memory skills as they could remember all their lines after just reading them once, which saved plenty of time.

Hence, Director Zheng raised his hand and waved it. “Let’s do a test run. If there are problems with equipment and lighting or whatever, we can make adjustments again.”

By saying this, he was being nice to Xiang Yi.

Even if the scene turns out badly, Director Zheng can also give her an out.

Meanwhile…

Those few staff members who had been fired and were filled with resentment, had yet to be removed from the work group chat because the admins were too busy to do so. Thus, when they heard someone talking about the impromptu change of the plot by Director Zheng, the few of them took screenshots and uploaded them to the Internet.

When the netizens saw the edited plot, they started to mock again.

—— [Can Vase Fairy pull off such a difficult scene?]

——[Shi Sui has to seduce Xiang Yi? Is she worthy?There must be something wrong with the director’s brain]

——[Doesn’t Shi Sui have an aversion to women? How can he act out that scene? Isn’t this a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for him? How much did Xiang Yi spend on bribing the director?]

…

The netizens were mocking incessantly while shooting began.

The red smoky veil was blown around, and the paper lanterns were warm and charming.

The Immortal Venerable who accidentally ended up in the mystic realm first looked around and saw the female demon napping on the bed. He then drew his saber.

The next instant.

The young demoness, who was ignorant and beautiful but did not know it, opened her eyes.

Her pupils were clean and clear, but there was a beautiful appeal to them.

The little demoness blinked innocently and seemed a little fearful when she saw the longsword in his hand.

Hence…

The cold and ascetic Immortal Venerable kept a straight face but withdrew the sword gently.
