Dusk was setting in a forest of bamboo.

Two women stood facing each other; one was dressed in vibrant red, and the other in flawless white.

Shangguan Yingrong had a solemn expression, Meng Changge, I can understand that you were pursuing revenge for the sake of your brothers. However, youve already killed Consort Xian, isnt that enough? Dont tell me that youre going to bring down the entire kingdom?

Meng Changges long, red sleeves tossed and tumbled in the wind like a burning flame. She looked down on the person before her as if she was looking disdainfully on an ant, This kingdom was won by the efforts of my Meng family. So what if I destroy it now?

Shangguan Yingrong was enraged, You Youre too unreasonable! You were once a general who protected the soil of this country. Why have you become so petty? Dont tell me youre willing to see this land enveloped in the flames of war and the people still suffering a hundred years later?

Meng Changges hair flew wildly in the wind. She cast her gaze downwards and stroked her perfect, long nails. In a crazed tone, she said, Who cares if the world drowns after I die?

Thats perfect! Guo Qisheng was so moved that he didnt know how else to describe it.

Ye Linglong had specially come to the set today. After watching the scene, she let out a long sigh. She showed a relieved expression, In this movie, the role I was the most worried about wasnt Shangguan Yingrong, but Meng Changge. When I first created Meng Changge, I didnt cast her as the villain on purpose. Im leaving it to the audience to decide whether shes a hero or a villain. As for how the audience can decide this, its all dependent on how the actress interprets the role. If the actress doesnt have enough skill to play the role properly, then Meng Changge will be seen as the biggest villain of the movie. However, if the actress can pull it off, then Meng Changges depths would be shown perfectly.

It was clear that Ning Xi was the latter.

Guo Qishengs expression was full of excitement. He said confidently, I have a feeling that Ning Xi will get an award for her role!

Wang Taihe nodded a few times, Shes a good sprout. Although Starlight has lost Jia Qingqing, they still have a rising star, Ning Xi. Theyve practically profited from this!

Cut! Good work! Take a break before we start the next scene!

Since they had cleared this scene in one take, Guo Qishengs earlier gloominess from Jiang Muyes sudden leave was instantly lifted.

When they returned to the break room, Ning Xueluo called over her assistant the moment she sat down and inquired, What was the director saying to the rest just now?

The little assistant looked as if she wanted to speak, but didnt know where to start.

They praised Ning Xi? Ning Xueluo sneered.

The little assistant nodded, Director Guo said that Ning Xi acted perfectly. Screenwriter Ye said that Ning Xis acting was so good that she turned Meng Changge into the protagonist. Producer Wang also praised Ning Xi and said that she would probably go further than Jia Qingiqing. Director Guo even said

What else did he say?

He said that Ning Xi might get an award for her role The little assistant said weakly.

Ning Xueluo slammed her hand on the armrest, What a boast! Nowadays, awards are based on background, does he think that awards are given out without any support from behind the scenes? So what if she gets an award? At most, she can only get Best Supporting Actress. Isnt she just there to be my foil!

The little assistant quickly agreed, Its exactly as Xueluo-jie says! Shes just acting as a temptress, how can she compare with you? The audience isnt blind!

Ning Xueluos expression warmed a little, but the dark clouds in her eyes didnt completely dissipate. She lowered her voice and said, That thing we prepared before its time for action!

The little assistant cried out in surprise before hurriedly covering her mouth, Were really doing that? But, its too dangerous! What if you

Stop dawdling. If I order you to do it, then go! Ning Xueluos face was full of impatience.

I got it, Ill go tell that person now

At this moment, Su Yans concerned voice sounded from behind, Xueluo, what happened? Your complexion dont seem to look too well?
