Chapter 231: Chapter 232 The contrast is too obvious_1 Chapter 231: Chapter 232 The contrast is too obvious_1 All the staff seemed to awaken from a dream, watching Qiao Xiaren approach with grace, speechless. She nailed it in one go! The contrast in abilities was too evident. Shen Ruyin was simply crushed!

The challenging Li Li couldn’t contain his admiration for Qiao Xiaren: “Xiaren, come here, I want to discuss with you the next scene.”

The follow-up scene was a dance, Nangong Qin dancing gracefully under the fascinatingly beautiful Phoenix Tree. Fresh red petals fell one by one, and her elegant and charming dance stirred up a flurry of flowers, similar to a scattered rain shower.

Flowers rained down from the sky, adding allure to the beautiful maiden. In flower rain, the young girl turned her head to glance back, her smile was pure and refreshing. Nangong Qin in the novel was the very embodiment of the captivating glance back amidst the flurry of flowers.

In this scene, the key for Qiao Xiaren was this “captivating glance back”.

“Xiaren, go change your costume in a bit. Although your next scene doesn’t have much dialogue, the subtle expressions and body movements must be perfect because you will be given close-ups. So you need to pay extra attention. Even the slightest unnatural behavior could be criticized by the audience. You will wait under that tree, and the choreographer will give you some advice,” said Li Li.

Li Li’s stern gaze restored the demanding director persona, and his hand gestures reflected his excitement, such was Li Li. Even the smallest scene, he would strive for perfection and pay attention to every detail.

Mo Guanyu shrugged with a smile, “Xiaren, you are the one with twenty sets of costumes in this acting troupe. Look at me. The director only custom-made four for me, all looking the same!”

Qiao Xiaren gave a light smile, her eyes teasing, “Dear Mr. Mo, if you want to try my dresses, I wouldn’t mind lending them to you. No need to thank me, after all, we are part of the same troupe.”

Mo Guanyu was utterly surprised, “Xiaren, do you realize you could kill just by talking?”

Director Li didn’t spare Mo Guanyu, “Enough with the chat! We’re in shoot time! If I were Xiaren, I would have killed you by talking instead! Hurry up and go for a touch-up; Xiaren, you should go change.”

“Director, you really are a devil!”

Facing Li Li’s harsh words, all the staff wanted to laugh but dared not. The atmosphere became much livelier since these two joined the set.

Ten minutes later, the door to the makeup room slowly opened.

When they saw the slender, graceful figure in red, all eyes were locked onto the person; no one could look away.

The figure seemed to have walked through thousands of years, stepping out of an ancient courtyard.

Having changed into the red, noble dress with long and wide sleeves, it was not too ostentatious yet maintained its elegance. Her skin looked even more transparent and delicate, like the gloss of a pearl under the moonlight. Her jet-black hair was tied up gently with a jade hairpin, and her beautiful and lively face looked like morning glow upon the snow. Contrasting with her black hair, red dress, and white skin, these three contrasting colors appeared even more breathtaking on the screen.

The crew gasped.

Even Mo Guanyu started to get absorbed unintentionally. How could one not be captivated by such a beautiful and vibrant girl?

“Everyone get ready! Standby, action!”

Qiao Xiaren gracefully extended her right hand while smiling at Jun Lin. The elegant and ancient melody slowly played. The wide sleeves of her dress collected the falling flowers, and a charming dance under the Phoenix Tree began.

The scattered flowers fell with Qiao Xiaren’s movements, sketching graceful arcs in the air.

Her black hair was like spilled ink, her red dress voluptuous against her ivory skin. Every turn of her gaze, every gentle move Qiao Xiaren made, left the crew in awe.
