Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Anger That Savage Man to Death! Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Anger That Savage Man to Death! Noble Consort i, though she held a grudge against Li Qing for destroying her lackeys, still greatly admired his talents and abilities.
Therefore, she harbored intentions of using both the carrot and the stick.
First, she would try to win him over, and if Li Qing refused to turn his coat, then she would destroy him.
Noble Consort i’s greatest confidence lay in her own appearance, so she also considered employing a beauty trap.
Under these circumstances, she used learning to paint as a pretext to have His Majesty issue a decree for Li Qing to enter the palace to teach.
This scene can be said to be the biggest codic mont of the entire play, with real sisters using beauty traps on each other without knowing each other’s identities.
Because it was lighter in tone, Director Xu had Xia Weibao and Hua Shan film this scene first to help them get into the feel of it.
Since this scene was primarily codic, with great flexibility, Director Xu felt that with their acting skills, they would definitely be able to let loose.
But he never imagined that these two won would let loose too much.
They treated filming like it was all fun and gas.
In the beginning, everything was fine—their expressions and eye contact were spot on, and both of them were very serious.
They taught painting while probing each other through Tai Chi-like language.
Both handled the details excellently, their eyes almost shining, vividly expressing the nuanced tension of the confrontation.
However…
After Noble Consort i’s probing, Li Qing’s answers were watertight, revealing nothing of his thoughts. Unable to gauge his mind, she decided to test him boldly, pretending to sprain her ankle and falling into Li Qing’s arms.
According to the script, Li Qing was supposed to push her away, eventually leading to a fight.
Indeed, there was a fight, but damn it if Xia Weibao didn’t get carried away acting, playing the hero to save the beauty!
She struck a very cool pose, in layman’s terms, a very showy one, catching Hua Shan.
And it seed Hua Shan got carried away acting too; the two of them improvised and ended up in each other’s arms.
“Director Xu, quick, blow my clothes up, this pose is so cool!”
Xia Weibao shouted out; this hero-saving-the-beauty pose was simply perfect!
Hua Shan, coquettishly clinging to her, looked thoroughly satisfied.
“Director Xu, scatter so rose petals, make it more romantic, and also, get your phone out and record this for !”
She’ll show it to her brother in the evening, that’ll infuriate that wild man!
The crowd, “…”
You two beauties are filming a political intrigue drama, not a romance.
And why scatter petals during a tense espionage scene?
Xu Jiayang’s eyes twinkled, and with a grand gesture, he really had soone bring a fan to blow the clothing up a bit, creating a beautifully romantic scene.
But no petals—they’d be too contrived.
“Director Xu, take a few shots from different angles, and blow the clothes up higher.”
“Director Xu, the petals, hurry and scatter the petals!”
Xia Weibao and Lu Huashan maintained their embrace, waiting, but Xu Jiayang had already moved on to review the footage.
It must be said, the final shot, though it was a playful addition by the two of them, turned out really well.
It gave off a hazy feeling.
Originally, according to the script, this beauty trap was ant to fail, leading to a rift between the two, like fire and water.
However, with their antics, they blurred the outco of the beauty trap, leaving it uncertain whether it succeeded or failed, making audiences look forward to their next encounter.
Xu Jiayang hurriedly summoned the scriptwriter to modify the subsequent script; perhaps, they could capitalize on this trend and pair them up.
It’s just that Xia Weibao’s cool deanor was maddening.
After every shot, she had to add a little extra to appear cool.
And she pulled it off so successfully that he didn’t even know how many tis he’d had to change the script for her.
