Quick Transmigration: The Villainess is Delicate and Soft: Ch 10, Counterattack of the Short and Fat Comedian The director of 《The Legend of the Gods》, Zhao Gang, was a top domestic director. Every time he directed a TV series, it would be a smash hit. Who knew how many unknown actors became popular because of him? Moreover, 《The Legend of the Gods》 was originally a big IP. For the movie adaptation this time, a huge wave of the original novel’s fans held high expectations, so the casting of actors was also very strict since they didn't want to ruin the original work. Nan Fei Yu had read the original work before and familiar herself with the script from the beginning to end. For Ying Su’s role, there were the most changes. In the original work, Ying Su was just an empty-headed bimbo princess of the demon world, who was obsessed with the male protagonist Qian Chen. Everything she did was maniac and willful, and she managed to kill herself through her brainless actions less than halfway through the plot. But after the script was adapted, Ying Su had more character. She was still willful and unruly, but her feelings were also loyal and sincere. All her emotions were influenced by Qian Chen. Even in the end, she will die stubbornly in his hands. There wasn’t much information about 《The Legend of the Gods》 from the memory of the original owner. She only knew that this drama would be a big hit. Whether it was the main casts or supporting actors, all the actors became more popular and the investors profited a lot. As soon as Nan Fei Yu saw the director and producer, she immediately noticed the contempt and faint dissatisfaction in their eyes. Zhao Gang also glanced at her emotionlessly. But his eyes lit up when he saw her in a white dress, and then gestured for her to get styled before first trying a scene. Of course, no matter how the outcome was, this Li Qian Qian was stuffed in by Le Ting Entertainment, the biggest investor, therefore he couldn’t switch her out anyways. In the end, he just wanted to see what acting level she was at, so he could mentally prepare himself for the rest of the filming. The few people responsible for styling and dressing Nan Fei Yu were probably dissatisfied with her, resulting in their rough treatments. She felt as if her hair was about to be ripped off. Nan Fei Yu didn’t get angry nor cursed at them, but she couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes, and her peach blossom eyes were turned slightly red. The stylist was a woman in her thirties. She couldn’t stand people like Li Qian Qian, who took advantage of the public’s sympathy, and was even more disgusted when she saw her seductive appearance. Hence, she wanted to mess around with her and reveal her true nature for everyone to see. What she didn't expect was she remained silent despite the tears forming in her eyes, which made her softhearted. "I'm sorry..." The stylist said embarrassedly, and glanced at Nan Fei Yu quickly. Nan Fei Yu watched the person through the mirror. She raised her mouth slightly, and said softly, "It's fine, just take it slow." The stylist heard her soft and melodious voice, like a spring breeze, and a smile also popped up on her face, and right away became fond of her. Li Qian Qian's temper was actually quite good... "Your hair is very well maintained." The stylist took the initiative to start the conservation. "Yeah, I spend an hour every day on maintenance." Nan Fei Yu was rather relaxed in losing weight, but she takes incredibly good care of this naturally curly hair. Previously, when she was forced to dye her hair by Owen, and she felt such a heartache. Listening to her excited voice, the stylist couldn't help but gossip, "You really are amazing. Getting to this level after only a little more than a month of working out..." Nan Fei Yu coughed lightly and said shamelessly, "You just got to restrain yourself." The stylist looked at her dainty and flawless face, saying enviously, "Your skin is also superb, do you have any secret?" Nan Fei Yu answered all her questions, and soon gained another fangirl. She narrowed her eyes while smiling brightly; as long as she continued to radiate her charisma, she was bound to subdue other people. She didn't want to be poked and get her hair tugged every time she put on makeup... But she couldn’t hold on for any long, so she closed her eyes and leaned against the back of the chair. The stylist continued to help styling her topknot. But seeing her cheeks were flushed red, and remembering that her temperature seemed to be a little high, so she asked again, "Are you burning up with a fever?" "Um...slightly, but it doesn't matter." Nan Fei Yu opened her eyes and said, before closing them again. The stylist didn't bother her anymore, but she was a little impressed by her in her heart. She was being quite professional... Because of Nan Fei Yu's extreme cooperation, she soon got the look done and changed into her outfit. When she walked to the set, Jiang Xin Ru and Shen Yue Wen were already acting out a scene. Nan Fei Yu found that after unlocking the skill, [Sing With Excellent Performance], the moment she emerged herself into the role, emotions and feelings would come naturally, such as now. But when everyone saw her, their gaze became a little weird. Jiang Xin Ru noticed everyone's strangeness and turned around to look. The pure white chiffon dress swayed slightly, making her look elegant and charming, like an aloof fairy from an ancient painting. Lian Hua was the reincarnation of the noble God. In the original work, the author spent a lot of time depicting her legendary feats. When Jiang Xin Ru saw Nan Fei Yu, a cold light flashed in her eyes. Although she tried to conceal it, Nan Fei Yu noticed. From a distance, she smiled at her as a greeting. After all, they did exchange bodies with one another... However, Jiang Xin Ru directly ignored her and withdrew her gaze. Nan Fei Yu didn't feel awkward. She lightly pulled on the veil lying on the ground, and made her way towards them. Ying Su was a princess of the demon world. Due to her surrounding circumstances, she had a warped personality and at times very hostile. In the whole series, she was almost always dressed in black. Only once, she deliberately changed into Qian Chen’s favorite white clothes, gave up her sultry makeup and ran to see him like a delightful little fairy. But the female lead, Lian Hua, was also there, while Ying Su hid in the dark and watched them secretly. Only at that moment, did Ying Su realize that what Qian Chen liked was not the white clothes, but rather Lian Hua. Now, Director Zhao Gang asked Nan Fei Yu to audition this scene. As the demon world’s princess, Ying Su, the dresses on her body were hand sewed by people after spending an extravagant amount of money, which allowed it to be paper thin and flowed freely. When worn on Nan Fei Yu, unexpectedly it fitted perfectly, as if she was tailor-made for her, making her even purer and more beautiful. For a few seconds, Nan Fei Yu entered the center of the set, she already attracted everyone's attention. In contrast, Jiang Xin Ru's white outfit looked too rough and plain, so everyone had conflicted feelings. Shen Yue Wen stared at Nan Fei Yu with a cold complexion, while Jiang Xin Ru's mouth stiffened a bit, but she still maintained a proper expression. Director Zhao Gang was obviously also worried. So he called the costume designer to discuss it, and then said, "Qian Qian, follow Xiao Liu for a second to tweak the costume." After hearing this, everyone present all understood what was going on. They looked at Nan Fei Yu, all waiting for a good show. Nan Fei Yu looked down at her clothes, but nodded obediently . But Jiang Xin Ru, who was at the center of the set, couldn't help blacken her face, as if she got humiliated. Shen Yue Wen also furrowed his brows and held her hand. The next second, Jiang Xin Ru said, "Director Zhao, why do you want to change it? I think it meets the requirements of the script, so there is no need to change it." There was a faint scent of gunpowder in the air, Nan Fei Yu knew it too, but she couldn't say anything at the moment. Director Zhao is also a smart person, how could he not understand Jiang Xin Ru's feelings. She just won an award, inevitably she grew a little inflated, and she lost in temperament, so she thought that she could use her acting skills to suppress Li Qian Qian. But this time it was a bit tricky. Li Qian Qian had only changed her clothes, yet she already seemed to be into character. She even had the shadow of Ying Su on her body, arrogant and willful just like a princess. But he couldn't refute straight into her face, so he gave a reasonable reason, "It doesn't match Ying Su's temperament, Xiao Liu is only altering it slightly." No one could object now. At the end, Nan Fei Yu's chiffon dress was cut short, making her less elegant and a bit more free-spirited along with mischievous. During the audition, Nan Fei Yu stood outside the door, while inside the room, Shen Yue Wen and Jiang Xin Ru stood hugging each other, both whispering. The surroundings were quiet, and everyone's eyes were on the trio who had recently been in a scandal together. Honestly, after losing weight, Li Qiant Qian was in fact no worse than Jiang Xin Ru, and even better appearance wise. If she continues to chase after Shen Yue Wen, Jiang Xin Ru would probably have a sense of crisis... Within the set, the joyful smile on Ying Su's face froze, and her eyes looked at the two people in the room through the crack of the door. She clenched her sleeves slightly, her eyes burst into an uncontrollable rage, but gradually, her eyes started to turn red. She was angry, but there was more self-humiliation. Qian Chen clearly locked eyes with her, but he didn't react at all, as if he only regarded her as an irrelevant person. Two lines dripped down Ying Su’s face before she turned and fled. The white figure was like a fluttering butterfly, reflected in Qian Chen's calm and silent eyes, but it rapidly faded away. Since then, Ying Su never wore white again. However, if she sees a woman in white, she will order her men to kill her in resentment. When the audition ended, the audience was in an uproar. Director Zhao looked at Nan Fei Yu startled in astonishment. This section can be used directly as is. So Li Qian Qian also had acting skills? Jiang Xin Ru didn't know how well she performed because she was facing Li Qian Qian with her back, but she noticed that Shen Yue Wen who was next to her seemed a little lost. "Yue Wen, what's wrong with you?" Shen Yue Wen looked at her, smiled while nodding, "Nothing, I was just surprised. The director said that the scene can be used right away." In fact, he was even more shocked at Li Qian Qian's performance just now. Jiang Xin Ru was silent. She looked to the other side, Director Zhao praised Nan Fei Yu without hesitation, indicating that he had recognized her performance. Her eyes were dimmed as she clenched her fists unwillingly. It was just a clown who wanted to occupy her body and was scolded to pieces before. Now that she changed her appearance, everyone has changed their attitude, how ridiculous. During the break, Owen came to Nan Fei Yu and asked in a low voice, "Can you still make it through?" Nan Fei Yu nodded, "Just now the director said, there is still a scene this afternoon. If it goes well, I can leave soon after." _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Notes empty-headed bimbo (胸大无脑): insulting someone for having all breast and no brain, usually for a female topknot (发髻): another term for hair bun, but it’s a more formal version.
