Chapter 533: Chapter 533: Perfect Atmosphere
On the day filming began, a light rain was falling. Tiffany Lynch took this as an opportunity to clear her mind and pushed her scenes until later, seemingly intending to have Hannah go on first.
Whether it was after the script was revised or since Tiffany joined the cast, Director Lee no longer held much enthusiasm for the female lead character, and yet, Tiffany didn’t notice.
Every word she spoke and every move she made seemed to rile up Director Lee.
Although he didn’t say anything, he had someone call for Hannah immediately.
His demeanor had greatly improved and the elder’s care and affection could be detected from his tone, "Hannah, we’ve decided to film your scenes first today. What do you think?"
Hannah hadn’t changed into her costume yet, but her hair and makeup were done. A point of red cinnabar on her forehead enhanced her allure as the bewitching princess of the Demon Clan.
Despite the rain, it was still hot, and she fanned herself with a fan from the set, her tone relaxed, "Of course, that’s no problem. Isn’t there a scene today where I have to go into the water? This weather is perfect for it."
As she finished speaking, Tiffany Lynch who was being attended to by a number of assistants snickered silently in the distance.
Just then, Jackie Qualls, who had already changed his clothes, walked over. Upon hearing Hannah’s words, he quickened his pace, "The temperature today is low, I worry that you might get sick if you enter the water."
Director Lee didn’t comment. He had always had a dislike for actors who were divas and complained constantly. However, when Jackie spoke up, he was willing to give some face.
Hannah waved the fan in her hand, not acknowledging Jackie’s words, "No worries, as long as it looks good, that’s all that matters."
After saying this, she left to change into her costume.
Director Lee sighed, patting Jackie on the shoulder, "This Hannah, she’s got character. Seems like your status as the Best Actor isn’t going to help here."
Jackie said nothing, watching the place where Hannah had just left, his gaze somewhat far off.
He really looked the part of lovestruck and elegant nobleman.
The shooting of a drama hardly ever follows the narrative order. Sometimes, they would even film intimate scenes on the first day.
The scene filming today was the first meeting between the male lead and the antagonist. A beautiful woman bathing, half-dressed, a virtuous woman depicted as chaste and pure, but acting as a seductress.
The balance was incredibly difficult to strike; a slight misstep could turn her into a disgustingly promiscuous vixen.
Even experienced actresses might not be able to perfect this role, let alone Hannah.
Tiffany Lynch had planned for this, not leaving Hannah any time to prepare.
She wanted to see what kind of performance Hannah Winter could give.
Could she truly surpass a former child star like her?
As long as Hannah made a fool of herself and then she entered the scene, it would certainly make clear the difference in their skills to everyone.
No matter how popular you are from a talent show, in the end, you still have to act, right?
Fairy depicts the story of a mortal man who stumbles upon the path of cultivation due to a series of coincidences. At first naive and pure, he encounters the princess of the Demon Clan disguised as a human girl and becomes bewitched by her, developing feelings.
It’s only later when he’s unmasked by the virtuous fairy maiden – the female lead, who was sent to experience life as a mortal, that he comes to his senses.
This is a three-character scene, with Tiffany Lynch making her entrance last.
The male lead is deliberately led into the depths of the forest, and from afar sees mist swirling on the surface of a pool, like a dream. Wet hair, a bare white shoulder, the only hint of reality in this dreamy landscape.
The young man’s hand tightened on his long sword, his knuckles going white.
Only when the sound of the water splashing reached his ears, did he realize his impropriety and quickly turned around, refusing to look back again.
