Chapter 761 158. The Queen’s Acting Skills
The Earl from the Parliament neither agreed nor refused. It wanted to go back and ask its owner.
"The Parliament will not refuse." Annan said confidently.
"Why?" Skeleton King asked cooperatively.
"The Scarlet Queen has never shown up. If I were to be the councilor behind them, I would agree to the opportunity to get close to the Stewart family and observe the queen."
...
"I agree." Princess Crimson said excitedly.
Annan initially thought that the Scarlet Princess would object to letting the Queen play Elizabeth, but she did not expect that she looked eager to give it a try.
The last problem is solved, Annan is ready to start filming.
The plot of the first act of "Five Hundred Years of Love": Count Dracula was cozy with his wife in the castle, and then received an order from the palace to lead his team to the battlefield to fight. His political enemies deliberately framed him and died on the battlefield. He was grieved. The distraught Elizabeth committed suicide because of the rumors..."
Both the fighting and political plots are easy to film, but the main problem lies with the Scarlet Queen.
After more than ten days of recovery, the Queen was able to stand up and walk slowly, and no one could see her weakness. But the problem is that whether she is standing or sitting, she always looks noble, cold and arrogant. When she plays opposite Annan, she looks more like a "warrior kneeling in front of the queen" than a "loving couple".
The Scarlet Queen's persistence has made some actors in Liberty City frown.
Worried about the actors getting emotional, Annan quietly took them aside: "The queen is at least over a thousand years old. Your ancestors must say "ancestor" when they see her. We must report to the elderly. Be patient..."
Continuing filming, the actors really calmed down their emotions and accompanied the Scarlet Queen to film over and over again.
By the second day, they hadn't even finished filming a scene, so Annan had to invite Betty.
She walked around the set and found the key to the problem.
"Your Majesty the Queen, you need to change your clothes." She pointed at the Scarlet Queen's gorgeous rose dress and said, "It should be simpler and greener... Miss Lucy, find one. White dress."
Lucy glanced at the queen and found that she did not refuse, so she ran back to the castle, picked up a white dress, and followed the queen into the temporary tent.
After a while, Lucy came out.
"The Queen asked everyone outside to leave."
Annan looked around and drove away those guys who had nothing to do with the filming, leaving only a few of them.
The Scarlet Queen then stepped out of the tent.
Annan knew why she wanted to drive away the others... The white lace patterned skirt was loose and natural, and the pure white skirt weakened the queen's sharpness.
“It’s still a little bit worse...”
Betty was a little dissatisfied. She walked around the Scarlet Queen and realized that her waterfall-like wavy red hair did not match her dress.
"Lemon, come to me!"
She called away the water element next to Annan, let it separate a ball of pure water, picked up the Scarlet Queen's hair and put it into the water ball to soak Wet, let Lucy prepare the towel.
After drying, the Scarlet Queen's wavy red hair turned into straight hair like her daughter's, further weakening the sense of nobility.
Betty took a few steps back and continued to examine the appearance of the Scarlet Queen.
"Enough, I am the queen..."
The Scarlet Queen whispered. She refused to accept anyone and did not even dare to rebuke loudly in front of Betty.
Betty is a good teacher. She only cares about acting. She will not listen to anyone except Annan's orders - not even Annan.
“Did you put on makeup?”
Betty’s words made the Queen slightly stunned: “No.”
"Your skin is so good..." Betty said enviously. The corners of the Queen's lips raised slightly, then she realized that there was nothing to be proud of.
Betty couldn't find a way to continue to weaken the queen's temperament, and signaled Annan to stand with her.
"Well..."
Annan, who had just arrived at the Scarlet Queen's snow-white neck, asked Betty to find the problem immediately. She found a wooden box and asked Annan to step on it.
The atmosphere on the set suddenly became harmonious. Even the Queen smiled. Only Annan was not smiling.
Betty put some makeup on Annan to make him lose his boyish look and show his youthful handsomeness.
After doing all this, she exited the camera and let Annan and the Queen try to perform.
Annan stood on the box and looked at the Queen with firm eyes: "Elizabeth, I am going to the battlefield to protect my people..."
Well... Annan's acting skills are still the same, but there are This face is enough.
Betty couldn't help but interrupt: "Queen, your tone. Do you still remember what I taught you? Think of him as the closest person in your life."
Starting again, Annan continued to look resolutely, But she looked at the queen with tenderness: "Elizabeth, I am going to the battlefield to protect my people..."
Annan has made some progress, and it is the Scarlet Queen's turn.
"Oh, Dracula, I don't want you to take risks." The Scarlet Queen's tone was much softer, but less emotional.
Betty asked the Scarlet Queen, but she couldn’t give a reason.
Betty frowned and glanced around, pointing to the Scarlet Princess who was chewing her nails next to her: "Miss Lena, please go out first."
The Scarlet Princess, who was still chewing her nails, was indifferent, and Betty said it again. .
"Me? Oh."
The Scarlet Princess walked away in confusion.
"Now imagine Annan as your newborn child and look at him tenderly..."
Betty instructed. Annan, who was hesitant to speak, waved his hand and asked the camera holding the magic stone to start filming.
"Elizabeth, I am going to the battlefield to protect my people..."
Standing on the wooden box, a head taller than the Scarlet Queen, Annan said affectionately and resolutely.
"Oh, Dracula, I don't want you to take risks." The Scarlet Queen's eyes were filled with tenderness.
“Click!” Betty signaled the scene to be completed, “Okay, it’s passed.”
This is not a magical image like "Freedom Knocks on the Door" that requires deep exploration. The current acting skills are enough.
The filming of "Five Hundred Years of Love" started with a stumbling start.
The Scarlet Queen's poor acting skills were used as negative teaching material by Betty, who warned Lina not to learn from her.
On the third day, the count who wanted to cause trouble that day came outside the manor with a group of vampires from different families. They are eyes, but in Annan's eyes they are still the gimmick that made "500 Years of Love" more famous.
Annan did not give them a chance to see the Scarlet Queen. Anyway, the story of "five hundred years ago" did not require their appearance. Before joining the group, Annan asked them to try performing. As a result, they made all the mistakes that newcomers would make...
Betty was forced to get busy again.
Everyone was busy and happy, but the Scarlet Queen was unhappy. This group of humans bullied her into losing her power, and her majesty was ruined...
Fortunately, this "past life fate" only happened It accounts for one-tenth of the duration of "500 Years of Love", and Isabel's role only accounts for three-tenths of this one-tenth. Next it was the turn of the Scarlet Princess who was equally ignorant but very cooperative.
