Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

Chapter 137: One Movie, One Goddess

“Hi, everyone. We meet again.” Gu Xiqiao waved at everyone on set.

Do any of the readers know what it was like to get greeted by an unparalleled beauty? Everyone was dazed for a few moments and waved back at her dumbly before they caught themselves in the act. Were they really acting that dumb??

“Er Qiao!” Xiao Yun had just come out from the makeup room, and she immediately spotted the girl that had become the center of attention. “Why are you here?”

After a short silence, everyone on the set returned to their duties, the people in charge of props ran around busily while Li Yu’s makeup artist touched up the makeup on his face as he prepared to take another shot. Cheng Zhou saw Gu Xiqiao and his expression brightened visibly, letting the assistant director handle the camera for a few moments while he walked over.

He was incredibly confident in Li Yu’s abilities, so he knew that it wouldn’t be much of a problem even if he wasn’t there to take charge.

“Ms. Gu, have you thought it over?” He asked Gu Xiqiao politely.

Gu Xiqiao looked right back at him with her signature clear gaze and nodded. “I can try, Director Cheng, but I’ve never acted before, so if it turns out that I can’t do it, I’ll quit.”

Acting depended on born talent to a degree, and if she was really so terrible at it, she wouldn’t be able to act well even if she had the virtual training grounds.

Cheng Zhou smiled brightly as if she didn’t say that second half of the sentence. It was way too hard to look for a suitable actress for the role of Princess Qixia, after all, which was why he had chose Jin Sitian in the first place, even though she couldn’t act well to save her life!

According to his personality, he would have continued to hold a grudge over this matter had she not agreed, because she was the spitting image of Princess Qixia that he had in his mind.

She was definitely most suited for this character!

In any case, Gu Xiqiao looked much more suitable for the role than Jin Sitian, and even if she couldn’t act either, the audience would probably have a better time accepting her character.

“Alright, then go and get into your costume, and we’ll see how it goes okay?” Cheng Zhou waved her away to the makeup room, but deep down he was still worried that the girl might have even more terrible acting than Jin Sitian.

Xiao Yun led her to the makeup room. “Sister Yu, help her with the makeup for Princess Qixia, please.”

As a tritagonist of the drama, she actually had relatively little scenes, so she only had two character costumes—One set of official robes, and one set of casual clothing.

Sister Yu stared at Gu Xiqiao for a good moment before she nodded slightly, gesturing for her to sit down and get started on the makeup.

As a makeup artist, she knew exactly how to accentuate and show off the traits of a person’s face, especially such a diamond in the rough as this one.

“I got you Princess Qixia’s script, take a look at it. Remember, don’t panic.” Xiao Yun handed Gu Xiqiao the script, before quickly rushing off to shoot her next scene.

Gu Xiqiao flipped through the pages of the script, before her consciousness went into the virtual training grounds.

Empire Under Siege was a movie set in a warring historical era, and it was a story of the conflict among four kingdoms. The crown prince of the southern kingdom had always been flippant and had never been bound by any rules, and when he was of age, he went on a journey and met the female protagonist.
