The stage supervisor gave some advice as he led them away, “Ms. Qiao has got big backing, so it’s not wise to cross her. The next time you see her, just avoid her, do you understand?”
Qiao Lian’s eyes flashed when she heard the words “big backing.”
In Suzhou, who could serve as Qiao Yiyi’s backing?
She bit her lip and hung her head.
After a brief pause, she looked up at the stage supervisor and smiled.
The stage supervisor continued, “We’ll find you another makeup artist. During your makeup session, I’ll brief you on your roles. Actually, you don’t really need any acting skills. It’s a scene where the male lead and his friends visit the brothel and then, when the female lead discovers this, she rushes into the brothel to create a scene. That’s all.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Lian halted and looked at the stage supervisor, asking, “So the roles that we’re playing…”
“Oh, brothel…” Qiao Lian’s expression immediately changed.
The stage supervisor continued, “But you are the best here!”
Being the best doesn’t make it any better…!
Could they back out of this now?
Furthermore, the most important thing was..
When Shen Liangchuan walked into the set to see that the brothel worker was her, how would he react?!
Qiao Lian wanted to clutch her face.
As the makeup artist worked on their makeup, Qiao Lian said to her, “Make it thicker. Preferably, so that I can’t be recognized!”
“You are already naturally pretty,” the stage supervisor said.
Qiao Lian was stone-faced. “I’m just worried about stealing the glamor from the lead. Why don’t you make me a little uglier?”
Stage supervisor: …

Somewhere else, the director was briefing Shen Liangchuan on his part.
Shen Liangchuan was expressionless, making the director a little nervous.
Big-name actors were usually aloof.
Having worked with Shen Liangchuan for a few days, he realized that Shen Liangchuan was very serious when he was shooting.
He was not as loud like other celebrities, and he listened more than other celebrities.
He had his own original opinions and was very accurate in pointing out where some scenes needed to be improved.
The director also found quite easy to discuss the scenes with him. But today…
Shen Liangchuan had to take an entourage to visit a brothel.
Cao Cao was down in history as a man given to lust, but Shen Liangchuan had a serious face. How were they going to portray his weakness for beautiful women?
Emotional dramas had never been Shen Liangchuan’s strength.
Besides… in the brothel scene today, there was a need to be more outrageous.
Otherwise, when the female lead charged in and created a scene, without seeing Shen Liangchuan in compromising positions with the women, it would look like she was being unreasonable.
But…
Shen Liangchuan was well-known from rejecting kissing scenes and intimate scenes.
He would always get a stunt for these scenes.
Yet the part they were filming today wasn’t really that extremely outrageous.
For example, in the kissing scenes, they could take it from a certain angle to create an illusion—a false perspective. For this scene, it just required him to be a little more intimate…
The director cleared his throat and said, “Erm… For the part we’re filming for today, it requires you to be a little more intimate.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Liangchuan frowned. Then he said, “I have a stunt.”
The director was put on-the-spot now. “But we intend to shoot a close-up on the face. Actually, the part today is not too outrageous. You just need to put your arms around her waist and embrace her. As for kissing and the rest, we can shoot from a false perspective.”
Shen Liangchuan frowned deeply, he was resolute.
The director was now in a dilemma. He turned to look at the stage supervisor and hurriedly waved for him to come over. Then he asked, “I’m assuming that the two actresses you found today who will be playing the prostitutes are not ugly?”
