Chapter 287: Chapter 287 Her Appearance Changed

Scarlett Jennings was just discussing with the stylist about removing her makeup when Director Xu rushed over.

Seeing Scarlett Jennings and the others preparing to take off their makeup, he couldn’t help but step forward,

"Scarlett... Master, we had agreed you’d stay with the crew for three days and two nights. We even specially added roles for you as extras. Even though everything is fine now with the crew, shouldn’t we continue with the original storyline?"

Especially Scarlett Jennings’ role, which he discussed with the screenwriter to directly turn into the ultimate behind-the-scenes boss.

They had only filmed halfway.

He was reluctant to let it go.

Scarlett looked at Director Xu, thought for a moment, and explained, "The reason we discussed changing it in that direction before was mainly to lure the other side out."

She didn’t finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Now that they had prematurely met their goal, there was no need to continue with the script.

What should be, should be.

Most importantly, she didn’t like memorizing lines.

They always said extras didn’t have lines. Compared to sitting in a wheelchair reciting lines, she preferred the roles of Amber Livingston and Evander Simpson.

No need for expressions, just action.

So much easier.

Director Xu, of course, understood what she meant, "But this plotline, once changed, is much more appealing than the original setting."

The original setting had the mysterious figure who helped the heroine from the shadows turn out to be a lovesick male second lead.

Even when the truth was revealed, it would only make the audience sigh at how infatuated the second male lead was.

This drama, after all, was trapped in romance.

Given the rare opportunity, Director Xu still hoped he could make a case for it.

More importantly, thanks to this program, the drama had already become an online sensation. As long as they could keep this revised version today, the participation of Scarlett Jennings and Sebastian Carew would ensure a wave of high viewership upon the show’s release.

Of course, he didn’t intend to take advantage; it was something agreed upon with the program team.

Scarlett, though she thought it unnecessary, knew it wasn’t a decision she could make alone, so she asked for the opinions of the others.

Sebastian and Ariel Zimmerman were already part of the industry, so having already acted, it was natural to continue, plus it would put Director Xu in a debt of gratitude.

Amber, naturally, wouldn’t refuse such an opportunity for exposure.

Evander...

Evander looked at Scarlett, cleared his throat, and said, somewhat reservedly,

"Actually, I think being an extra is quite interesting."

Especially things like ramming people into trees.

To him, it was definitely a novel experience.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Scarlett no longer refused, but made a request to the director.

That was to reduce her lines as much as possible in the future.

Hearing Scarlett relent, Director Xu was overjoyed and immediately agreed before consulting with the screenwriter.

The livestream viewers had been worried about what to do with the task completed a day and a half early. Hearing that the program team would continue filming lifted their spirits instantly.

Their screens were filled with anticipation for the drama.

Because filming would continue, Scarlett and the others didn’t change their appearance, maintaining their original makeup and costumes.

However, Ianthe Lawson had a new look and makeup.

When she reappeared, everyone once again gave a round of appreciative sounds.

Scarlett looked toward the source of the admiration, and upon seeing Ianthe Lawson’s appearance clearly, she couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Was it because of the makeup change?

Ianthe Lawson’s face seemed different.

...

Ianthe’s entry was greeted by waves of admiration around, elation barely concealed in her eyes.

She carried her dress, held her posture, walked like a proud peacock.

However, this joy was fleeting when she saw Scarlett Jennings and Ariel Zimmerman, a shadow crossed her face.

These two were too good-looking.

Better-looking than her.

"Why haven’t you changed clothes?"

Ianthe feigned normalcy, stepping forward to inquire, when a staff member was about to explain.

The assistant director hurriedly approached,

"The set has been rearranged, here is the newly revised script. Up next is the final scene with Teacher Lawson and Master Jennings, so the teachers and Mr. Carew, please prepare."

Ianthe took the script, flipped directly to the replacement page, her expression darkening upon seeing the note.

[What’s up with Little Yu? Her face looks a bit off, is she feeling unwell?]

[After so long, she’s the leading lady, fatigue is certain.]

[Little Yu’s new look is beautiful, but there’s something strange about it, yet I can’t pinpoint what.]

[She’s definitely entering character! My Yu is so dedicated!]

[Agree with the one above.]

In the livestream, Ianthe Lawson’s fans were the first to notice her subtle expression changes, responding accordingly.

But soon, everyone felt a sense of being slapped in the face.

Because after the assistant director finished speaking, Ianthe hurriedly followed him to the venue. Seeing Director Xu and the screenwriter still discussing the newly revised script pages, she walked straight over.

"Director, the program tasks are completed, so the guests don’t need to participate in filming anymore, right?"

Ianthe said, not waiting for Director Xu’s answer, and proceeded to pull out the script,

"I feel the original script setting was pretty good. This version is still too abrupt, why not revert to the original?"

With Ianthe’s words, Director Xu, the screenwriter, and the surrounding staff were obviously taken aback, not quite understanding why she opposed the changes suddenly.

Considering her professionalism, Director Xu didn’t directly refute her, but rather tested,

"Ianthe, do you think... the original male second lead as a mysterious man version was better?"

"Yes."

Ianthe replied matter-of-factly, "A deeply devoted villainous male lead, such a setup is captivating. I think this unrequited love storyline resonates more with the audience than the abrupt shift to an illegitimate child arc."

She preferred settings where every man loved her and secretly protected her till death.

More importantly, she found Scarlett Jennings’ appearance too striking.

If she were to act opposite her in the new version, she feared being outshone.

She couldn’t understand why Scarlett Jennings, a Master, having caught the ghost, didn’t just leave, but stayed to snatch the spotlight.

As the lead in "Prosperous Age," the next stage should belong to her.

These chaotic extras, should be dismissed.

She would not let anyone steal her spotlight.

Especially not Scarlett Jennings.

She seemed formidable. What if, what if she saw through the fact that she had possessed Ianthe Lawson’s body, and got rid of her from it?

She had worked so hard to own such a perfect body, wealth, beauty, status, these all belonged to her, Hestia Knight, now.

And they would belong solely to her in the future.

The system had said that as long as she remained in this body for more than seven days, she would completely become Ianthe Lawson.
