The Movie Queen's Mouth is Blessed - Chapter 32
As a director, he had encountered nearly every type of actor.
Some actors excel at emotional scenes, while others struggle to get into the right mindset when faced with such scenes. Initially, Director Niu never thought that Jiang Xiaobai, who was so beautiful, had no experience with love. It wasn’t until today, during the filming of this particular scene, that he realized this possibility.
Helplessly, he had to explain the scene to Jiang Xiaobai again. Jiang Xiaobai listened attentively, but as soon as the cameras started rolling, it still didn’t feel right.
“Director, maybe you could find someone to demonstrate for me?”
The final scene was delayed as time passed because she alone was not in the right state. Jiang Xiaobai was getting anxious.
“Why don’t we try it the other way around?”
Shu Jie suddenly spoke up.
Perhaps because his acting skills weren’t the best, Shu Jie was used to problems arising from his side. He understood the frustration all too well. Seeing Jiang Xiaobai in trouble, he decided to lend a hand.
“That could work. Switch roles and pay close attention to Shu Jie’s emotional shifts,” Director Niu nodded.
Jiang Xiaobai thanked Shu Jie, and the two swapped roles to begin their performance.
“Ruyan, this is made from the Ice Cold Valley jade silk. It’s water- and fireproof; even ordinary swords can’t pierce it. Take it.”
Surprisingly, Shu Jie was the type who struggled with other scenes but excelled in emotional ones.
After a moment of preparation, he began his performance, delivering Jiang Xiaobai’s lines but changing the name.
As he spoke, he looked deeply into Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes, his emotions seemingly overflowing.
The title of “Little Fresh Meat” wasn’t for nothing. He had an excellent appearance, with large, round eyes and long eyelashes. When he focused on Jiang Xiaobai, she momentarily felt the illusion that he truly liked her.
They might have blushed and felt their hearts race under Shu Jie’s gaze if it were someone else. But Jiang Xiaobai felt nothing unusual, focusing solely on learning from him.
“Did you see that? That’s the feeling, though Liu Ruyan’s emotions should be more reserved,” Director Niu said.
Jiang Xiaobai took a deep breath. “I see it now, Director. Let’s try again.”
“Alright.”
This time, Jiang Xiaobai recalled how Shu Jie had looked at her and replicated it.
That deep affection didn’t exist for her, but Jiang Xiaobai found it familiar. In her past life, when she created her beloved talismans, she would look at them with the same focus, excitement, and anxiety about their effects. Thinking about it, I think it was pretty similar to Shu Jie’s performance.
So, this time, she learned to look at Shu Jie as if he were her beloved talisman.
Director Niu nodded in satisfaction and finally sighed a sigh of relief. He waved his hand, “Alright, that’s a wrap!”
Jiang Xiaobai was almost drenched in sweat.
Although she had completed the task today, the set was full of people with loose tongues. The next day, when Jiang Xiaobai arrived on set, she overheard people discussing her performance from the previous night.
“…She acted quite well. Never been in love? Who believes that!”
“If she can’t act in emotional scenes, she should admit her acting skills are lacking. Instead, she makes excuses…”
As Jiang Xiaobai approached, their voices gradually faded, and they pretended to change the topic casually.
Jiang Xiaobai acted as if she hadn’t noticed.
Explaining was out of the question. Doing so would only make it seem like she was hiding something. Let them gossip if they wanted to.
They were just insignificant people, after all.
While these people didn’t dare to speak openly, someone else did.
Li Biying, who had previously failed to overshadow Jiang Xiaobai and had become a laughingstock, seized this opportunity to make her presence known.
“You shouldn’t casually say you’ve never been in love. Do you know what the consequences could be if this gets out?” she said with a smirk.
“If someone digs up your past scandals, you’ll never be able to clear your name.”
This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened in the entertainment industry.
Once, a popular young actress tried to build a pure image by claiming she had never been in love, not even her first kiss, which attracted many boyfriend fans.
But some things couldn’t withstand scrutiny. When her kissing photos and even bed photos with her boyfriend were exposed, her popularity plummeted. Many fans turned against her, calling her a “green tea b*tch.”
Li Biying herself had a “girl next door” image—pure, cute, and lively—but she never dared claim she had never been in love!
Who knew if her exes had secretly taken photos of her and kept them?
“Thanks for the reminder, but what you’re worried about won’t happen,” Jiang Xiaobai said calmly.
Li Biying raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Are you that confident? Do you think all the evidence from your past has been destroyed?”
Jiang Xiaobai’s expression turned serious as she looked at her.
“Sister Li seems to have much free time, even enough to worry about me?”
Li Biying smoothed her hair and smiled. “As a senior, I should care about my juniors.”
Jiang Xiaobai closed her script and looked at her with a slight smile. “Since you’re so free, you should be careful. Trouble might come your way soon.”
After saying this, a chill ran through her body, and Jiang Xiaobai’s smile deepened.
Li Biying clearly didn’t take this seriously. “My affairs have nothing to do with you!”
“There’s something you might not know. When I went to Tangming a month ago, I ran into Dou Fang in the elevator. She provoked me, so I told her something—she would leave the industry. And look, it came true, didn’t it?” Jiang Xiaobai said nonchalantly.
Li Biying scoffed. “You think I’d believe that?”
“Oh, before I got this role, Zhao Shan provoked me at a party. I told her she would break her leg.”
Jiang Xiaobai spoke lightly.
Li Biying’s smile stiffened, and she felt a chill in her heart. But she still didn’t believe it. “You—who do you think you are? Do you think everything you say will come true?”
“I don’t know. But maybe we’ll find out soon whether what I say is true.”
Jiang Xiaobai shrugged and continued reading her script without another glance at Li Biying.
Li Biying snorted, glared at Jiang Xiaobai, and walked away.
After she left, Ming Zhu muttered softly, “She’s so annoying, always picking on you, Sister Xiaobai!”
“It’s fine. Once what I said comes true, she won’t dare to mess with me.”
Jiang Xiaobai said casually.
After last night’s experiment, Jiang Xiaobai had no doubt about her “ability.” As long as she felt a chill after speaking, it would surely come true.
She wasn’t sure whether some words would take effect immediately or be delayed.
For example, Zhao Shan’s leg injury happened that night. Still, Dou Fang’s exit from the industry took several days to come true, making her uncertain about when Li Biying’s misfortune would occur.
But it didn’t matter. A few more tries, and she’d figure out the pattern.
