“See the move, counter the move, keep your eyes on her!”
“Understood!” Sister Sa nodded, then said, “Lingzi, why are you missing an earring?”
Jiang Ling heard this, reached out and touched her left ear, it was empty, indeed missing one.
“Perhaps I accidentally lost it while putting on makeup. I’ll go look for it!”
When Jiang Ling went to the makeup room to find her earring, An Qiuyan was having her makeup done.
Through the mirrors on the left and right rows, Jiang Ling could clearly see her even with her back to her.
Well, she had to admit, An Qiuyan was really nailing the pure and innocent vibe.
Shedding her pure and innocent aura, and with the makeup artist’s skillful hands and fresh, elegant clothing to complement it.
She looked ethereal, untouched by the world, truly like a little fairy.
Of course, this was purely based on her appearance and attire.
As the saying goes, ‘It’s hard to draw a dragon’s bones, just its scales; to know a person’s face, but not their heart.’
There are so many people who are two-faced in this world, otherwise, there wouldn’t be the idiom ‘a beast in a fine suit.’
The little fairy and Jiang Yuyan’s makeup were very similar, both going for a pure route.
The difference was, the little fairy was innocent and lively, a bit willful, but still cute and charming.
Jiang Yuyan, on the other hand, was purely sinister and ruthless, stopping at nothing to achieve her goals, and would not hesitate to kill her own sister.
An Qiuyan’s appearance indeed had the aura of a little fairy.
But when it came to looks, Jiang Ling was confident she was prettier.
…
For the next few days, Jiang Ling was in a five-star hotel near Hengdian, poring over scripts.
Jiang Yuyan’s early scenes had all been filmed, and it was time to film her transformation scenes.
This part was also the most crucial turning point in the entire drama.
After this, Jiang Yuyan would blacken and descend into madness, shedding her previous meekness and pitifulness to become a schemer, a ruthless female demon.
This captivating and detestable femme fatale, from a brothel prostitute to a woman of immense power, paved her prosperous path with ruthlessness.
It truly fit the old saying: “A woman must be ruthless to secure her position!”
Jiang Ling knew that Jiang Yuyan was a classic character in film and television, and after her, it was difficult to see such a strong, ruthless, and beautiful supporting female character in domestic dramas again.
It was precisely because she knew another Jiang Yuyan would be hard to come by that she had to take this opportunity seriously, to not let it go to waste.
After days of dedicated study, Jiang Ling had completely entered Jiang Yuyan’s inner world and had found the feeling of portraying her.
One morning, Jiang Ling arrived at the set an hour early for makeup.
To portray Jiang Yuyan’s blackened state didn’t require smoky makeup; the makeup artist still gave Jiang Ling a simple, clear, water-like look.
Jiang Ling quietly recited her lines, letting the makeup artist work on her.
Sister Sa, standing by, said with a smile, “My Lingzi is just beautiful, she looks good with both heavy and light makeup. Not like some foot-washing servant who, after playing a little fairy, really thinks she’s as beautiful as one.”
Sister Sa already had a bad impression of An Qiuyan.
Now that Zhang Jingjing had become An Qiuyan, she hated her by association, even extending her vulgar insults to her.
“The eyes of the public are discerning, everyone knows whether she’s a fairy or not. Enough about her, go get me the prop, I’ll need it for filming later.”
The prop Jiang Ling was referring to was the Liu Ren Shen Tou, the divine dice of Liu Ren, from the drama.
The so-called Liu Ren Shen Tou was actually a Rubik’s Cube with six faces bearing different patterns.
But unlike other Rubik’s Cubes, the sharp corners of this item were all smoothed down, making it look like a giant-sized die, hence the name ‘Liu Ren Shen Tou.’
