Chapter 2470: The Airing of ‘Lethal Beauty’
The production team had already started shooting the film-adaptation of the novel, ‘Extreme Youth’.
After undergoing two weeks of training, Yun Shishi was immediately involved with the filming of the TV drama.
Meanwhile, the initial stages of the post-editing of ‘Lethal Beauty’ were over. It was decided that the show would be aired on Beijing TV, the top satellite channel, which had bought the exclusive rights for the show, as the production team continued with the later stages of the post-editing.
The actress could not help feeling somewhat nervous about it.
In ‘Lethal Beauty’, she played a villain who schemed and resorted to vicious, underhanded tricks to compete with the female lead for the heart of the male lead, which was played by Hua Jin.
She was the classic beauty with a vicious heart in there.
This was why the airing of ‘Lethal Beauty’ worried her so much. After the airing of the first three episodes, she dared not to check the comments fans left on her Weibo page, much less view the comments on those forum sites.
She was certain that she would receive malicious comments for it.
In the first three episodes, her villainous role, Qin Yuyan, basically garnered all the hatred she could from left and right.
Before Qin Changle was reborn, Yun Shishi’s character seduced the male lead, married into the royal family in a grand fashion, fed her love rival a sterilization drug while she herself conceived a child, and gave birth to a crown prince.
Following after, by riding on her son’s coattails and making use of the male lead’s love for her, she became the queen. She then had the female lead be banished to the cold palace, blinded her, cut her nerves, and eventually amended the imperial edict to state that her love rival must hang herself to death with a piece of white cloth.
The actress’s initial decision to play the role of Qin Yuyan was because her character left her a more vivid impression compared to Qin Changle’s.
The female lead’s persona was too monotonous; her second chance at life was entirely for the sake of exacting revenge as the script was based on the theme ‘revenge’.
Qin Yuyan was different, however.
She was once a naïve girl who had a pure heart, but after her family fell into dire straits, suffering all sorts of bullying and humiliation, she did everything she could to seize power and slowly schemed her way into becoming queen.
If the female lead were not reborn with her previous life’s memories, even ten of her might not be Qin Yuyan’s match.
Yun Shishi found this character to be really cool and was amazed by how resourceful and scheming she was! The part where the character amended the imperial edict, in particular, was awesome!
The scene where Qin Yuyan tasked her trusted aide to amend the imperial edict and issue Qin Changle the white cloth to hang herself to death was basically the climax of the entire show!
Now that the drama was about to be aired, however, she felt quite jittery!
Even though she found it very challenging to act that particular role, with such an in-depth persona setting, her character was just too evil and vicious for the audience to like her!
She might very well lose all popularity she had gained in ‘The Green Apple’ and become public enemy number one because of her character in ‘Lethal Beauty’!
Mustering her courage, she secretly opened her Weibo app and expectedly found the hashtag #QinYuyanissovicious trending online.
Netizens voiced their opinion. [Watching the trailer already made me so furious! Ahhhh... I’m Yun Shishi’s diehard fan! Why did she choose to act in the show as the villain?! Never mind that, but did she have to pick the evilest character to play instead of the main lead, Qin Changle?! Even though her acting is good... after watching the first episode... I really hate Qin Yuyan!]
