Chapter 224 Dangerous Scene
Chapter 224 Dangerous Scene
Song Yan just knew that she was going to be on the headlines tomorrow…she just knew that she was going to be the one person whose news will be plastered all over the Internet by tomorrow morning with an eye-catching title —— HALF SISTER WENT CRAZY MAD AND KILLED THE NATION'S DIVA!
Twenty-five takes that was how long it took Song Yan to complete a single scene that could have been finished shooting in just an hour or so. It was a simple scene very simple to the point where she only need to act as the spirit of the white moonlight of the male lead and help the female lead on a path that she was too afraid to take.
Simple. Easy. Concise.
Not.
Ever since the day the director praised Song Yan for the improvement in her acting skills, Song Lan seemed to have changed her tactics, she no longer tried to compete with Song Yan by using the talisman instead she started to deliberately deliver poor performance every time she had any scene with Song Yan.
And when scolded, she will go ahead and ask Song Yan to help her ace the scene knowing full well just how much Song Yan hated her.
With the director's orders even if Song Yan didn't want to help Song Lan, she had to do it and every time, she taught something to Song Lan, the latter would deliver even more of a poor performance saying that she couldn't handle the pressure.
Pressure, what a bunch of smelly farts! She was just trying to disgust Song Yan and she knew it but because this kind of bullying was normal in the circle, not many could say anything against her because firstly, there was no way Song Yan could blame Song Lan for giving her a hard time and secondly, Song Lan's popularity far exceeded her so even if the director was on the verge of plucking his hair out, he still have to give a face to Song Lan even if he didn't want to.
" I am going to kill her, one of these days I will just——" Song Yan made a violent gesture in the air as she muttered curses under her breath. " She couldn't beat me in acting, so now she is trying to disgust me, what wonders!"
Of course, as cheap as Song Lan was she would do something like that, though the 'White lotus' talisman she carried along helped her sometimes, it really didn't help much when it came to the true essence of acting something that Song Yan had learned for five hundred years and was already too bored with it.
If Song Lan has finished the scene on time then she would have been able to do something that was much more important! She was a busy woman you know?
" Now, Now… don't be so impulsive," Wang Yufan fanned her with his script. " You know that you can't do something like that, stay calm. Anyway, the director has changed the scene to another one already."
Though at the twenty-sixth take the Director did say 'okay' knowing Director Xie, he will definitely ask Song Yan to reshoot the scene after he was done with the urge of biting someone's head off.
"Like it makes everything better," snorted Song Yan. " He scheduled the most dangerous scenes to be shot, in this way he isn't exactly punishing just Song Lan, he is punishing me along with her."
The next scene to be shot was where the moonlight will meet with the male lead's pet which was a tiger. In the script, it was written that due to the charisma and aura of the white moonlight, the tiger will be subdued by her and later on this tiger who will be won over by the female lead would become the link between the two.
But the scene that was to be shot by Song Yan and Song Lan couldn't be any more different. While she had to face a tiger that was hangry, Song Lan would have to just feed an overly stuffed one. Where was the justice in this she wanted to ask!
Song Yan gritted her teeth as she looked at Song Lan who was discussing with the third male lead. It was all because of this woman that she was in this mess! If she had finished the scene in one go then Song Yan could have already gone back home and started looking for something that could help her in finding her father but instead she was stuck here.
" It's not the director's fault that your brother-in-law had this series personally customised for Song Lan," said Au Lisha as she sharply looked at Song Lan who was chattering away with the crowd. " The entire script revolves around her, so of course, she will have it easy." She paused and looked at Song Yan before carefully asking, " Why is it that the third master is helping an outsider instead of you?"
" Because he is an idiot," snorted Song Yan as she remembered just how easily Qi Genghis was making a fool out of him.
" Sister in law——" Wang Yufan hardly opened his mouth so say anything when Song Yan was called by the director. Her eyes flicked to the tiger that was staring at her with dark, malicious eyes and she arched a brow before her gaze settled on the small collar that he was wearing. Those who didn't know anything would think that it was nothing special but she knew very well what it was.
Her eyes narrowed and her lips curled into a cruel smile looks like she was going to have fun today.
The collar that was tied around was called beast tamer, many celestial masters used animals. Not because they could be used as tools but because they added to the mystique of the celestial masters —— even master Gu had a falcon that he truly adored.
This talisman could be used to command the beasts and under the influence of it, the beast would do just as its master asked it to do. No wonder Song Lan agreed to shoot this scene with such ease because she already made arrangements to make sure that her turn wouldn't come up!
Song Yan sensed someone's gaze locked on her and her eyes clashed with Song Lan who was looking at her with anticipation.
Curling her lips in a disdainful smile, Song Yan turned her attention to the tiger that was brought to the set and let loose. Its tamer muttered something in his ears, the beast stayed calmly still but that was until its tamer walked away.
Once his tamer turned its back on it, Song Yan with her sensitive hearing heard Song Lan say 'jump' and then the tiger released a snarl before jumping on her.
