Chapter 1417: What are you talking about, Manman?
Jiang Mingzhu’s fans hated it the most when other actresses imitated Jiang Mingzhu. A year ago, a female celebrity had a similar voice with Jiang Mingzhu’s on a TV show. After Jiang Mingzhu’s fans found out that the female celebrity was deliberately imitating Jiang Mingzhu, they severely scolded her that the celebrity announced she would quit the industry.
There were also a few other actresses who tried to imitate Jiang Mingzhu. They ended up suffering from depression because of her fans’ harassment and even attempted suicide.
After reading the post, Su Manman had a rough idea of what was going on.
“Manman, the assistant director said that it’s almost your turn to film your scenes, so he asked you to prepare!” Dong Dong said to Su Manman.
Su Manman nodded and passed the phone to Dong Dong. “Got it!”
Su Manman hooked her finger…
“Dong Dong….” Su Manman whispered something into Dong Dong’s ear, causing Dong Dong to widen her eyes as she looked at Su Manman. “Manman… this… is this okay? Brother Jie just told me to keep an eye on you and not to create trouble!”
“Trust me!” Su Manman patted Dong Dong’s shoulders.
She gave Su Manman a doubtful look.
“Am I the one who’s paying you, or is Brother Jie the one who’s paying you?”
Alright, she conceded.
This was Su Manman’s final scene in “The Olden Days.”
It was a scene of Elder Feng Yi dying at the hands of the Dragon Emperor.
Ever since the war broke that nearly destroyed half of the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan, Feng Yi had been permanently exiled by the Celestial Thearch to this icy and desolate land. She was never to leave it.
In order to please his beloved Feng Yi, Black Tortoise captured Little Phoenix Emperor and brought her to where Feng Yi lived.
Feng Yi, who was lying on an ice crystal tree, stood up and looked at Little Phoenix Emperor. She had been thrown into the snow by the Black Tortoise and was looking up at her with a cold gaze. She asked the Black Tortoise to throw Little Phoenix Emperor out of the extreme cold lands.
Black Tortoise only wanted to help Feng Yi. He ignored the Little Phoenix Emperor and left… allowing Feng Yi to take revenge.
Little Phoenix Emperor finally saw Feng Yi, who had brought her up. She knelt and begged for Feng Yi’s forgiveness. She said that she had pleaded with the Celestial Thearch and that Feng Yi didn’t need to live in the northern wilderness. She was also willing to give up the position of the Phoenix Emperor to Feng Yi and hoped that Feng Yi could return to the Phoenix Clan.
Feng Yi remained unmoved. In order to redeem herself, the crying Little Phoenix Emperor stabbed herself with her sword, saying that she was returning the Dragon Emperor’s stab on Feng Yi from back then. She begged for her forgiveness.
Perhaps it was because Little Phoenix Emperor was the Dragon Emperor’s true love and how Dragon Emperor mindlessly doted on Little Phoenix Emperor so much, the Dragon Emperor, who had always been wise, went crazy after seeing Little Phoenix Emperor covered in blood. He attacked Feng Yi, who had been crippled by the Celestial Thearch of her cultivation.
Feng Yi sat motionlessly on the ice crystal tree, just like back when she was sitting on the Chinese parasol tree and leaning against the Dragon Emperor.
“No!” Little Phoenix Emperor shouted frantically, but the Dragon Emperor’s sword still pierced through Feng Yi’s chest.
The Dragon Emperor saw red blood seeping out of Feng Yi’s heart, dyeing her fox fur coat red. His throat moved, and his eyes trembled slightly as he looked at Feng Yi, as if he thought she could dodge.
Feng Yi only held the Dragon Emperor’s sword, his expression indifferent as she slowly extracted the sword from her chest.
The Dragon Emperor’s hand that was holding the sword trembled slightly. He heard Feng Yi say, “I’ve killed half of your Dragon Clan. Today, because of this strike, we’re even…”
Under the ice crystal tree, Little Phoenix Emperor clutched her wound and stumbled onto the snow…
The Dragon Emperor was shocked. He quickly removed his coat and draped it over Little Phoenix Emperor. He picked her up and said to Feng Yi, “Feng Yi, I hope you won’t forget that you’re a phoenix no matter what. You must have the least bit of respect for the Phoenix Emperor.”
After saying that, the Dragon Emperor carried Little Phoenix Emperor and disappeared from the extreme cold of the north.
On the ice crystal tree, Feng Yi’s blood splattered all over the ground. She smiled as she looked at the snow falling from the sky. There was a hint of mockery in her eyes. “A phoenix rests only when home, I’m no longer a phoenix a long time ago…”
At this point, Feng Yi’s scenes were all over.
When the Black Tortoise came back, it discovered that Feng Yi had disappeared, and the huge ice crystal tree that Feng Yi often lay on had turned red, becoming the only color in the vast expanse of whiteness in the northern wilderness.
Knowing that Feng Yi was dead, the enraged Black Tortoise started a war, even wanting to kill the Celestial Thearch.
Of course, in the end, it was the male and female leads who risked their lives to kill the Black Tortoise. In the end, they held a wedding under the Celestial Thearch’s auspices and lived happily ever after.
Meng Yuqiao had thought that Su Manman’s performance would be affected by what happened today, but much to her surprise, Su Manman’s acting skills were completely superb!
She sat high up and looked at Meng Yuqiao with a gaze that made her whole body tremble…
Unlike Su Manman’s doting gaze when she looked at her previously, it was so cold that Meng Yuqiao felt intimidated.
Su Manman filmed everything in one take, and the director was incredibly satisfied. On the other hand, Meng Yuqiao had been affected by Su Manman’s acting skills and needed several takes before finally delivering a decent performance.
The director was very dissatisfied with Meng Yuqiao. He felt that it was incompetent of her to need several takes for such a simple scene today.
It was unknown when Du Lingyang had come to the set, but he had been watching from the side.
He narrowed her eyes, wondering why Su Manman wasn’t affected by the online post at all.
After all, she was a rising star who still had to be concerned with her image in order to sustain her popularity. The online post should have a huge impact on her. There were many newcomers with poor mental fortitude. They all ended up doing something that displeased the public and disappeared from the public eye.
Su Manman arranged for some flowers to be sent to the filming crew. Under everyone’s applause, Su Manman smiled and bowed to everyone.
As time was tight, everyone started changing the set after Su Manman was done filming. Su Manman smiled and walked towards Meng Yuqiao.
Meng Yuqiao was stunned. She smiled politely at Su Manman.
Su Manman stood in front of Meng Yuqiao, not caring about the others around her at all. She said, “The post didn’t affect my acting today. Are you surprised?”
Meng Yuqiao’s expression changed, and her throat tightened. She hadn’t expected Su Manman to say something like this in public.
“What did you say? What post? Manman, what are you talking about?” Meng Yuqiao feigned ignorance.
“The post that said I’m imitating Jiang Mingzhu. Did you post it thinking it would affect my acting today?”
Meng Yuqiao took a step back, panic in her eyes. “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“Then why are you feeling guilty?” Su Manman casually placed the flowers in her hands aside and said to Meng Yuqiao, “Aren’t you Jiang Mingzhu’s good friend? Other than you… who else would know about Jiang Mingzhu’s habits? Who would be so bored as to compare my actions with Jiang Mingzhu’s? Who would have the opportunity to interact intimately with me and compare my actions with Jiang Mingzhu’s ?”
