Chapter 876: Chapter 876: Let Her Compete with Quan Feifei in the Arena

Mei Yunduo looked at Xiao Shanghe’s questioning gaze and rolled her eyes, "Are you disgusted by me? How do you have the nerve to be disgusted by me all the time?"

Xiao Shanghe himself had forgotten, but Mei Yunduo had not, "Young Master Xiao, don’t forget, I am a newbie, and so are you. Neither of us is more noble than the other."

Xiao Shanghe: "..."

He had indeed overlooked that point.

For a moment, he felt a bit awkward inside.

He was also a greenhorn rookie.

What if he performed poorly and got overshadowed by this woman?

Mei Yunduo, on the other hand, was very confident in herself.

In her view, since Shi Yaoguang had suggested she act, it was enough to prove that her skills were up to par.

Even if her skills were not up to par now, she believed Shi Yaoguang could definitely train her well, so she wasn’t worried at all.

Shi Yaoguang was very satisfied with Xiao Shanghe and Mei Yunduo’s states.

This was exactly the effect she wanted.

Their states were very much in line with the male and female character settings in her script.

In "Rivers and Lakes," the two most important main roles were in place, and setting up the rest of the cast would be very easy.

Within three days, all the actors needed for filming "Rivers and Lakes" had arrived.

Among these actors, if there was any unexpected surprise, it would surely be Ruanruan.

The matter of needing actors was not something Shi Yaoguang personally handled.

After all, it was to be secretly filmed, so it couldn’t be done publicly, otherwise, how would she catch people off guard?

She had found someone else to handle it, and did not reveal the direction of the filming to the public.

Ruanruan was a little lover of some investor, shoved into the crew for fun.

Of course, this was just the investor’s perspective.

Shi Yaoguang could tell that Ruanruan herself didn’t just want to have fun.

She was very serious about wanting to act.

After observing Ruanruan, Shi Yaoguang concluded that she had potential.

Upon further investigation, she unexpectedly discovered that Ruanruan knew Quan Feifei.

To put it more bluntly, it was...

Ruanruan and Quan Feifei had been trained under the same madam.

However, Quan Feifei became Quan Chengyi’s daughter, hence successfully rising up.

Ruanruan, on the other hand, was still a powerless woman living off her sponsor daddy.

Yet, she was not willing to depend on men for her whole life.

So, she had the idea of making it in the entertainment industry.

That her sponsor daddy liked her was undoubtedly due to her beauty.

And coincidentally, she and Quan Feifei had similar looks.

Both had the demeanor of noble ladies.

Shi Yaoguang stared at her for a while, suddenly having another thought.

Originally, the script of "Rivers and Lakes" revolved around a demon sect witch and a little monk.

Now, she could insert another storyline.

A brothel’s courtesan going undercover.

Do you feel that this setting of a courtesan going undercover is somewhat familiar?

No need to doubt it.

This was the same route taken by Quan Feifei’s character in "Beacon Beauty."

Both were undercover roles.

It was a matter of whose acting was better.

Ruanruan, before being shoved into the crew, thought she could shoot a few more films, gain some experience, and might even become famous.

Once she became famous, she could do whatever she wanted, men?

Ha, she would kick them away with one foot!

When the time came, wouldn’t it be nice to support a few fresh young men?

Only after Ruanruan joined the crew did she realize that the famous Best Actress Shi Yaoguang was actually the director behind the scenes!

Don’t ask why she was the director behind the scenes.

If you ask, it’s because...

This batch of people was recruited by a "new director."

Because she was a new director, not many people paid attention.

They just assumed this director was casually shooting a film.

Everyone who had come to this crew with a fluke mentality, after signing the confidentiality agreement, couldn’t help but feel lucky.

What incredible luck! Naturally, they had to cherish such good fortune.

In this way, those who originally just planned to get by in the crew all dismissed their previous passive attitudes, as if they had been invigorated.

Ruanruan was one of them.

But she still had some concerns in her heart.

Shi Yaoguang could find out anything she wanted to know with a simple inquiry.

What if she became annoyed with her because of Quan Feifei’s identity?

She was worried sick and indeed, Shi Yaoguang did call her over.

"Shi... Director, you were looking for me?"

Ruanruan asked cautiously.

Shi Yaoguang nodded and got straight to the point, "I want to give you more scenes. Regarding the script changes..."

She explained the details of the script changes to Ruanruan and then asked, "What do you think?"

Ruanruan was thrilled, never expecting such good luck, and immediately nodded excitedly, "I, I’m willing!"

She couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, "Director, why would you give me more scenes?"

Although she thought she had been working hard, she believed her acting skills were just average.

It was rare that Shi Yaoguang could actually think highly of her!

Shi Yaoguang did not hide her intention, "I think your looks are very similar to Quan Feifei."

Mentioning Quan Feifei, Ruanruan’s expression changed slightly, and then she forced a smile, "Many people say so."

Then she asked again, "What does this have to do with you giving me more scenes, Director?"

Shi Yaoguang, "Your face is naturally suited for going up against hers."

Ruanruan first nodded but then showed a look of disbelief, "Wha- what?"

"Director, you couldn’t possibly want me to compete with Quan Feifei, could you?"

This was too outrageous!

Shi Yaoguang raised her eyebrows and retorted, "Why not?"

Ruanruan responded instinctively, "It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that my acting skills are average. With your arrangement, Director, I really fear I might ruin your painstaking efforts."

"Rest assured." Shi Yaoguang gave her a calming look, "If I choose to use someone, I won’t doubt them. Since I’m giving you more scenes, I won’t let your acting drag down the film. As long as you have confidence, I can help fulfill your wish."

Upon hearing this, Ruanruan no longer hesitated.

She straightened her body and declared with a vow, "Thank you, Director, for your appreciation. I promise to complete the task!"

"Very good." Shi Yaoguang gave her an approving look before going to prepare a cheat for her.

Quan Feifei, upon her debut, became a half-step best actress. What did she rely on?

Wasn’t it the Best Actress System cheat?

It’s said to fight magic with magic.

Since Quan Feifei could use a cheat, Shi Yaoguang could naturally use one too.

Of course, not for herself.

But for Ruanruan.

Shi Yaoguang discovered Ruanruan by accident.

Upon further investigation, she found something interesting.

Quan Feifei and Ruanruan had known each other for a long time; they both came from the same orphanage.

They had been very good friends since childhood, and after dropping out of school, they both stepped into that glamorous world together, becoming mistresses in the shadows.

If there was anything different between them, it was probably that... Quan Feifei did it intentionally, while Ruanruan was forced into that situation.
