CHAPTER 480: CHAPTER 472: BEST ACTRESS 39 (6,000 WORDS CHAPTER)_3

Now it was Qin Xian’s first time filming the Regent Empress, and the result was that the play, which should have been shelved due to not having a good actor willing to agree, was smoothly started because of Ning Shuangshuang’s entry into the equation.

No one knows if Qin Xian, having fulfilled his lifelong wish of filming the Regent Empress and losing this obsession, will avoid dying from exhaustion due to filming. If he does not, that would be wonderful; directors like Qin Xian who are principled and talented are rare in the entertainment industry, a pity to lose even one.

Although Qin Xian’s filming is as strict as Li Bo’an’s, Ning Shuangshuang did not have any dissatisfaction with it and was very cooperative. Ning Shuangshuang, the hottest star, being so collaborative and diligent, naturally left other minor stars without complaints, making them follow suit and become serious.

After filming consecutively for half a month, all the minor stars participating began to sincerely admire Ning Shuangshuang because she rarely used a stand-in when filming. She handled all scenes herself, worked overnight without complaints, making everyone in the crew understand why Ning Shuangshuang was so successful. Her ability to endure hardship showed that her fame was not without reason.

Ning Shuangshuang’s diligence and perseverance inspired several minor stars to become serious in filming as well, with everyone giving their all in acting. Additionally, Ning Shuangshuang was easygoing; whoever had difficulties during filming would seek her, and she was always willing to work with them on their scenes.

Ning Shuangshuang’s acting was profoundly immersive, making anyone who worked with her unconsciously enter the scene and understand the joys and sorrows of the characters. Although this was a pure form of acting suppression, during rehearsal this kind of acting suppression was perfect for enhancing the acting of those being suppressed.

When it came time to film, Ning Shuangshuang would give space for others to perform, no longer suppressing them with her acting, allowing these new actors to fully showcase their abilities. As a result, by the end of filming, everyone sincerely addressed Ning Shuangshuang as Teacher Ning.

After the Regent Empress was filmed, it quickly aired during the prime time slot. This successful result was inseparable from the efforts of Ning Shuangshuang’s agent, Jin An, which made Qin Xian extremely happy.

Besides Ning Shuangshuang’s deserved rewards, Qin Xian also gifted her an additional envelope with thirty thousand. Had it not been for his small-budget production leaving him with little spare money, based on Ning Shuangshuang’s performance during filming, Qin Xian couldn’t resist wanting to give her a million-dollar bonus. He had a very good impression of Ning Shuangshuang.

As Ning Shuangshuang’s number one fan, Meng Meiqi naturally would not miss Ning Shuangshuang’s new drama, watching it daily without skipping an episode, complemented by the storyline of the Regent Empress which indeed had many twists and turns, completely meeting Meng Meiqi’s expectations.

The story begins with Ding Xinxian, who due to having a stepmother at home, was forced into the palace at age fourteen to become a palace maid. Ding Xinxian originally planned to earn enough money and then leave the harem to live a good life.

Ding Xinxian’s greatest hope in life was to leave the palace and marry, living a loving life with her husband. Of course, Ding Xinxian was not an overly romantic girl; the reason she thought this way was that Ding Xinxian believed her capabilities were enough to manipulate her future husband, making him obedient to her, and she was confident her intelligence could assist her husband in making a substantial career, ensuring a good life.

However, internal palace struggles were too intense, forcing her to exhaust all methods to protect herself by seeking shelter with the Empress’s palace.

Ding Xinxian took refuge in the Empress’s palace because she knew the Empress was weak and sickly, not favored but respected by the Emperor, with a stable status due to having both a son and a daughter, and thus she didn’t need to compete with concubines, being truly stable in the harem.

With Ding Xinxian’s intellect, she immediately saw the Empress as the most stable source of support, so she painstakingly fawned on the Empress, becoming the trusted palace maid within half a year, receiving continuous rewards. While most were not convertible to money, those that could be converted were enough for Ding Xinxian to become a minor wealthy person upon leaving the palace.

Just when Ding Xinxian was full of thoughts about her good life after leaving the palace, she did not expect her presumed great backing to turn on her. The Empress, impressed by Ding Xinxian’s beauty, on a whim, sent her to the Emperor’s bed to maintain her own favor, without giving Ding Xinxian a chance to refuse!

According to Ding Xinxian’s analysis, she believed the Empress held strong cards without needing to do anything to win, certainly would lower her status to compete with concubines for favor. Unexpectedly, the Empress still carried out sending her to the Emperor to maintain favor just to compete with the concubines!
