Chapter 320 -319: Bringing the Character to Life

The buzz online kept escalating.

Although Yuan Hanyi was intent on suppressing Xia Mian and this online series, he hadn’t forgotten about his confidante Bo Xiangxiang.

So he had the paid trolls subtly boost the rhythm again, but this time they weren’t as conspicuous; instead, they subtly suggested that Bo Xiangxiang’s acting was commendable.

Having seen a lot, people started to have the impression that the not-so-famous Bo Xiangxiang actually had impressive acting skills.

Soon, it was the premiere day of Luo Ning and her Fantasy Martial Arts Drama.

Director Zhu had started with high hopes for the drama, but he was still fairly composed.

He believed the storyline was decent, and the actors’ performances were satisfactory, so it was unlikely to flop, barring any surprises.

Yet whether it would be a hit was hard to predict.

But after Yuan Hanyi had meddled and attempted to thwart the drama, his competitive spirit flared up once more.

He had never before had such high expectations and enthusiasm for this Fantasy Martial Arts Drama.

Therefore, on the day of the premiere, he had all the actors come over to watch together.

Director Zhu rented a luxurious screening hall, making sure everyone could comfortably watch the premiere.

All the drama’s lead actors, except for Bo Xiangxiang, were present.

Seeing that Bo Xiangxiang hadn’t arrived yet as the premiere time approached, the assistant director scoffed, “Our leading lady really thinks she’s above everyone else.”

Just because she had latched onto Yuan Hanyi, she dared to act like such a diva.

Director Zhu just laughed it off, “It’s better if she doesn’t come, saves us the eyesore.”

This was his first time commenting on an actor who had worked under him, which indicated how strong his disdain for Bo Xiangxiang was.

If Bo Xiangxiang had merely been acting like a diva, he would have tolerated it.

But the fact that she had gotten involved with Yuan Hanyi and intentionally tried to suppress this drama, and recently had often been putting on airs as if they were the ones seeking her favor, had utterly disgusted Director Zhu.

The whole crew also knew about Yuan Hanyi being Bo Xiangxiang’s sugar daddy, so everyone greatly resented her and saw her as a traitor.

“Right, if she had come, we wouldn’t have been able to discuss the drama freely,” the screenwriter commented with a laugh.

About two minutes before the premiere, one of Bo Xiangxiang’s assistants burst in.

Telling Director Zhu that Xiangxiang was busy playing the lead in a big-budget movie and really couldn’t spare the time to come to the premiere, so they should not wait for her.

The assistant director rolled his eyes, “Who’s waiting for her? She’s really too full of herself.”

Then, as if shooing away a fly, he gestured dismissively at the assistant who had an air of petty arrogance, “Alright, off you go.”

The assistant stomped her feet in anger, “No wonder our Xiangxiang didn’t come, what kind of people are these.”

After saying that, she walked away haughtily, twisting her waist and clacking in her high heels.

The drama crew was speechless, all lamenting how fitting it was for Bo Xiangxiang’s assistant to behave in such a manner—it was exactly like her.

Luo Ning noticed that in this life, since Bo Xiangxiang hadn’t set up the angelic and heartwarming innocent persona, she had started to let herself go.

She completely revealed her true self to the outside world, vividly exemplifying what’s meant by ‘a petty person in power.’

Soon the premiere began, and everyone stopped discussing Bo Xiangxiang in disappointment and started watching the drama quietly instead.

Many people present had only seen the version before the cutting and post-production; they hadn’t seen the version of the premiere, so they watched with a bit of anticipation.

Right from the start were incredibly beautiful landscapes resembling a fantastical realm, perfectly capturing the essence of a Fantasy Martial Arts Drama.

It must be said that Director Zhu’s decision to spend a lot of money to hire the best post-production company in Imperial Capital was indeed worth it.

Everyone was first dazzled by the beautiful vistas in the drama, and soon after, a spirited young girl made her entrance, astonishing everyone once again.

This was the Junior Sister before her transformation into darkness, pure and vivacious, with a matchless beauty and a voice as melodious as a lark.

This was also Luo Ning’s first appearance in such an image, as she usually presented herself as poised and elegant, or simply stunning.

[Ah, is that my Brother Ning?]

[My god, Brother Ning’s outfit is so lively and lovely, it’s like the feeling of first love.]

[The first shot of Brother Ning really brought the character of Junior Sister to life.]

[In my head, Brother Ning has always been handsome, dashing, and clever during gaming livestreams, but this appearance has completely overturned that image.]

[How can my Brother Ning be so beautiful, with that delicate yellow dress, not just vivacious but also a bit ethereal.]

[Nailed it, that’s exactly how I pictured Junior Sister in my heart.]

This Fantasy Martial Arts Drama was not like the one produced by Chenxing Entertainment, which bought the rights to a wildly popular fantasy novel IP.

It was adapted from a less famous fantasy novel, but still had a solid fan base.

Those who had read the novel all had an envisioned image of Junior Sister.

So when Luo Ning appeared, everyone was amazed because she perfectly matched the Junior Sister in their minds.

Therefore, the comments were filled either with praise for Luo Ning’s beauty or how she embodied Junior Sister.

The plot continued, and soon the Senior Brother came into view.

The sheer surprise on Junior Sister’s face upon seeing Senior Brother, her beaming smile, and the adoration in her eyes made everyone feel as if they were witnessing a perfect match.

Soon after, Bo Xiangxiang made her entrance as the female lead.

Then began the tangled love affair among the three characters.

Bo Xiangxiang, who played the female lead, managed to portray a frail and pitiable appearance, successfully snatching the Senior Brother away from Junior Sister’s side.

Director Zhu’s Fantasy Martial Arts Drama’s plot moved fast, without any dragging parts; by the fifth episode’s premiere, Junior Sister’s father had been killed by the father of the female lead.

The female lead posed as if she didn’t know anything, as if her father hadn’t meant to do it, and then successfully softened the male lead Senior Brother’s heart and got him to hide the truth for them.

[This female lead is such a white lotus.]

[Oh my god, the female lead is clearly a mistress, stealing away Junior Sister’s childhood friend and fiancé, and her father even killed Junior Sister’s dad; yet she still acts so innocent, it’s utterly disgusting how successful she is.]

[Senior Brother must be blind, right? How can he prefer this bitchy woman over Junior Sister?]

[Have to say, Bo Xiangxiang’s acting skills are impressive, she fully brings out the white lotus essence of the female lead.]

[This must be a real portrayal; the female lead in the novel wasn’t nearly as much of a white lotus.]

[Poor Junior Sister, she’s still in the dark about everything.]

[Senior Brother and the evil white lotus are just too much, such trashy man and despicable woman.]

[Junior Sister’s gaze towards Senior Brother is becoming more and more dim, she must have guessed something, my heart breaks for her!]

[Our Junior Sister started so sunny and innocently cheerful, and now she smiles less, of course, it’s also because Brother Ning is such a good actor.]

[Senior Brother is such trash, thinking white lotus’s tears are impressive, and he had the audacity to betray Junior Sister.]

[Senior Brother even helps the white lotus hide the truth of the patricide from Junior Sister, detestable!]

The comments were full of audience members slamming Senior Brother as trashy, the female lead as too much of a white lotus, and all expressing sympathy for Junior Sister.

Seeing these comments, Director Zhu’s smile deepened—melodrama really does have its explosive moments.

Despite the widespread criticism of the female lead, he actually agreed with the berating.

Bo Xiangxiang truly played the white lotus character in the drama to the hilt.

Because of this, even more viewers were drawn in, wanting to see how the female lead played the white lotus and the Second Female so lively and lovely, only to become immersed in the drama and unable to pull themselves away.
