However, what surprised Xu Rui was that Jia Le’s company actually managed to keep Lu Zhen’s female lead. Moreover, the new investor was very stubborn.

Her plan to snatch the female lead halfway wouldn’t work.

Xu Rui gritted her teeth and flipped through the script of “Beauty” many times. In the end, she decided to take down the supporting actress in the movie,

“Fang Yuan”.

The movie “Beauty” was set during the Republic of China War.

The male lead, Jing Ze, was a young master from a wealthy family. He had been engaged to the eldest daughter of the Bai family since he was young, but the two of them had only met a few times when they were young. Later, Jing Ze went overseas to study, and the two of them had not seen each other for many years.

In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, there were many wars in the country, and the people were in deep suffering.

When Jing Ze heard that the country was in trouble, he immediately returned to the country and prepared to join the army. However, the Jing family did not support him joining the army. Instead, they asked him to marry the eldest daughter of the Bai family immediately after returning to the country.

On the night of Jing Ze and the Bai family’s eldest daughter’s wedding, the two of them were sent to the bridal chamber by their relatives and friends.

However, Jing Ze took the opportunity to sneak out and run away from home.

Later, Jing Ze joined the anti-war organization by coincidence and got to know Fang Yuan, a young woman with advanced thinking. The two of them became close comrades who went through life and death together and developed feelings for each other during the process.

At this point in the story, it sounded very much like the love story between

Jing Ze and Fang Yuan. The average audience would probably think that Fang Yuan was the female lead of the movie.

However, the original author of “Beauty” was a great author who had won a literary award after all. His characters were always unexpected.

Lu Zhen played Yue Qin, who had been famous in the capital for a long time. Later, the warlord, Zheng Xiong, took a fancy to her and married her as his seventh concubine.

From then on, Yue Qin became the concubine and confidant of the warlord, Zheng Xiong. Yue Qin worked for Zheng Xiong and captured and killed many people in the war. She also helped Zheng Xiong deal with the resistance organization and the invaders.

In an instant, Yue Qin became the most famous social butterfly in the capital.

The commoners secretly called her “Black Lotus” behind her back.

In everyone’s eyes, Yue Qin was a vicious and terrifying beauty.

Jing Ze received orders from his superiors that Zheng Xiong would capture the resistance personnel in the capital in a few days. Jing Ze had to carry out two plans immediately. First, assassinate Zheng Xiong. Second, think of a way to safely transfer the resistance personnel in the capital.

Jing Ze arranged for Fang Yuan to carry out the second plan while he prepared to risk his life to assassinate Zheng Xiong.

On the day of the assassination, Jing Ze was prepared to sacrifice himself.

However, when he entered the warlord’s mansion, the people who had been lying in ambush immediately rushed up to catch him.

Jing Ze, who was caught, did not understand why the assassination plan had failed. At this moment, a young woman in a cheongsam slowly walked out.

This woman was Yue Qin, who had arranged for Jing Ze to be captured. Yue Qin’s expression was originally very calm, but the moment she saw Jingze, her eyes revealed a trace of shock and panic.

There were many plot twists in “Beauty”. The plot was confusing, and it combined the exciting elements of the novel and the beauty of literature. It had a rich connotation.

Among them, the true identity of the female lead, Yue Qin, was revealed at the end, making the audience extremely emotional.

From the characters analysis, Lu Zhen’s Yue Qin was more complicated and deep than Fang Yuan’s character. Such a character usually had more room for performance and was more outstanding.

However, at the same time, Yue Qin was not a positive character in the standard sense. She was an actress who had fallen from grace. She was a vicious social butterfly who helped warlords kill and do evil. Compared to Jing Ze and Fang Yuan, who protected the country and were deeply righteous, Yue Qin was a bad person who betrayed the people and the country.

Some viewers with higher moral standards might not like this role.

On the other hand, it was also very difficult to mold this character. If one’s acting skills were not deep, it was very easy to only show the viciousness and scheming in Yue Qin, but not dig out her deeper human nature.

At that time, after Xu Rui read the script, although she was also tempted by the role of Yue Qin, she also had the thought of retreating.

This character was a negative character and was not likable. Moreover, it was so difficult. If she did not act well, she might be scolded by the audience. In comparison, although Fang Yuan’s character was a little plain, there were no obvious character flaws. It was easier for the audience to accept and like her.

Therefore, it was not a pity that Xu Rui ended up as a supporting actress.

On the day of filming, Lu Zhen and a group of main leads met Director Ding Zhi for the first time. The dark circles under Director Ding Zhi’s eyes were a little heavy, and he didn’t look too good. The withdrawal of the investors had affected him..
