CHAPTER 479: CHAPTER 472: BEST ACTRESS 39 (6,000 WORDS CHAPTER)_2

Actually, when Qin Xian chose Ning Shuangshuang to play this role, he hesitated for a long time. He watched the two dramas Ning Shuangshuang had acted in repeatedly, and only after confirming Ning Shuangshuang’s acting was good enough did he decide to let Ning Shuangshuang play his leading lady.

This time, Ning Shuangshuang shot three sets of makeup photos consecutively. The first set was pure and elegant, the second set was extremely luxurious, and the third set was strong and dominant!

As soon as the makeup photos were released, they immediately caused a stir online. Ning Shuangshuang now has a large group of devoted fans, and a bunch of people instantly started drooling over the screen, wildly praising how beautiful Ning Shuangshuang looked in the drama photos!

Among them, the third set of photos was the most favored by netizens. Ning Shuangshuang, dressed in complicated and ornate costumes, stood atop a high terrace, with a sharp and dominant expression as she looked below. Her powerful aura almost seemed to transcend the screen.

A bunch of fans howled in the comments section, calling Brother Ning handsome and awe-inspiring, and expressed deep anticipation for the airing of Regent Empress. Ning Shuangshuang’s devoted fans even made a pact to watch Regent Empress the moment it premiered.

After the makeup photos were released, it was time for the opening ceremony. This time, because Qin Xian was a new director without many connections, Ning Shuangshuang’s agent, Jin An, helped arrange everything, and handled all the publicity strategies single-handedly.

Compared to the previous opening ceremonies, almost all the journalists at this one came because of Ning Shuangshuang. During interviews, Ning Shuangshuang continuously promoted the director and several less-renowned supporting stars, helping them gain some exposure. Ning Shuangshuang’s kind words in the reports also helped them gain some popularity.

Jin An, Ning Shuangshuang’s agent, naturally invited journalists who had good relationships with Ning Shuangshuang. Now that Ning Shuangshuang spoke positively, these journalists would certainly write a few good words about these originally unknown stars in their reports.

Ning Shuangshuang’s graciousness was a huge relief for Qin Xian and several young stars, who had been worried that her fame might lead her to act conceitedly on set, and they genuinely felt grateful to Ning Shuangshuang.

After the opening ceremony, the intense filming began. Despite Qin Xian being a new director, he had very high standards for filming. Every detail needed to be flawless, which was reminiscent of Li Bo’an’s style, and Qin Xian’s directing skills were also superb.

Based on all the directors Ning Shuangshuang had seen, although Qin Xian lacked experience, he wasn’t far behind genius directors like Zheng Mingjing and Fang Jian in terms of skill.

However, it was strange that such a talented director wasn’t known to her in her previous life; it was unbelievable. With such talent, there should have been good works released.

This puzzled Ning Shuangshuang for a while until one day she saw a top-tier actress in a newly added crew at the film city and suddenly remembered that she had indeed heard of Qin Xian in her previous life.

No wonder Ning Shuangshuang couldn’t remember Qin Xian; his presence in her life was just fleeting. She recalled that in her past life, Zheng Mingjing had mentioned a talented newcomer, who was Qin Xian, but unfortunately, he died young.

From what Ning Shuangshuang learned from Zheng Mingjing in her past life, Qin Xian’s first planned drama was Regent Empress. However, due to not finding a suitable lead, the drama was shelved, and he instead shot two low-budget dramas with complete newcomers.

The result was that these low-budget dramas became unexpectedly popular, launching a bunch of second- and third-tier stars, and it wasn’t just the stars; Qin Xian also quickly became popular among them, no longer facing situations where he sent out invitations only for them to be declined.

After gaining fame, Qin Xian unwillingly decided to try shooting Regent Empress again. Perhaps because he valued it too much, he insisted on personally approving everything from auditions to choosing filming locations, and even the style of props to feel reassured.

Worries and sleepless nights became frequent, and before the shoot began, Qin Xian suddenly collapsed and never woke up again—he died of exhaustion!

Zheng Mingjing once lamented over Qin Xian’s sudden death, and Regent Empress had been unable to start filming due to Qin Xian’s death. Consequently, Ning Shuangshuang had no impression of this drama until she saw the top actress from the neighboring crew, who was the villainess in Regent Empress chosen by Qin Xian in her previous life.
