Chapter 490: Chapter 490_1 Chapter 490: Chapter 490_1 Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest, as if it would leap out any second. What a thrill, she was so looking forward to seeing Goddess Xiaran!
“It’s not time yet. We’re quite early.”
Qiao Xiaren wore a faint smile, stepped forward, and took the card from her hand; her casual and carefree image immediately appeared on it. It was the female fan’s first time being so close to Qiao Xiaren; she was so excited that her entire body trembled and she could hardly speak.
As Qiao Xiaren came out, the surrounding fans could no longer suppress their inner screams, and they desperately squeezed forward. Their excitement was indescribable, as if they were dreaming.
Qiao Xiaren waved at them. Those pearlescent and slender hands exposed in front of all the fans made them feel suffocated!
Oh my God, what beautiful hands!
Before attending the banquet, Qiao Xiaren visited the office of Director Deng of the Demon Flame production. After reading the script, Qiao Xiaren was suddenly inspired and wanted to discuss with Deng Hewen.
“Director Deng, I think this script can be spruced up with some unique creative elements that will differentiate it from the generic stories out there,” Qiao Xiaren continued, “I think we could further develop the role of Monk Hui Xin and build on the romantic scenes between the little monk and the female lead, Xue Chujian. That should create more dramatic tension.”
The monk wasn’t supposed to fall in love with worldly affairs, yet he fell for the female demon.
Qiao Xiaren had carefully studied the script and found that the real highlight was the ambiguous relationship between Bing Yan and Xue Chujian – it was like love and friendship.
Xue Chujian did not understand Bing Yan’s feelings and ended up falling for Monk Hui Xin, the disciple of Master Guotong in the play. In the original script, Bing Yan was indeed in love with the female lead but has never confessed, choosing instead to wait on her for a lifetime.
The show wanted to tell everybody, to love someone is to bravely confess, so as not to leave any regrets. But Qiao Xiaren thought it would be better to provide a dramatic twist in the end, revealing that Bing Yan was actually in disguise as a man.
A love story between a Buddha and a demon. A glamorously extraordinary Cult Leader. This play would surely have brilliant highlights.
“Not to fail the Buddha or you? Interesting. I like it.”
At first, Deng Hewen had no particular feelings about Qiao Xiaren’s views and ideas about the script; he just heard it.
However, as Qiao Xiaren went deeper into the explanation, Deng Hewen’s eyes lit up! How did he not think of revising the script this way! When Qiao Xiaren expressed her idea through the agent that she could cross-dress to play the male lead Bing Yan, although Deng Hewen felt it was inappropriate, he was stunned when he saw Qiao Xiaren’s makeup photo.
The male lead Bing Yan in the drama Demon Flame was the most handsome man and powerful Cult Leader.
He was both righteous and evil, and possessed a seductive look that was both male and female.
Accompanying his world-shaking demon skills was his extraordinarily beautiful appearance.
There aren’t such people in real life, so Deng Hewen had to painstakingly choose a man with outstanding appearance. If appearance isn’t enough, then they will need to rely on acting skills.
But he never expected Qiao Xiaren’s makeup photo could seamlessly match his standard.
“Xiaren, your suggestion is excellent. I will go back now and discuss with the scriptwriter about revising the script.” For the first time, Deng Hewen felt his blood boiling and found it hard to control his excitement.
Qiao Xiaren stood up smiling: “Thank you, Director Deng, for accepting my suggestion. Hopefully, our drama could be even better.”
