Chapter 1412: Jealousy and Envy
However, the cold aura she emitted made her seem like a different person, turning everyone’s scalps at the filming location numb. After her eyes showed some struggling and pain, they turned into a look of abandonment. It was as if a phoenix was about to be reborn. Feng Yi had clearly changed.
Yang Weiyi, who had followed Su Manman into the set, was shocked when she saw Su Manman’s acting skills.
She had thought that Su Manman was merely a pretty vase that was pleasing to the eye and hadn’t expected her acting to be so exquisite that she thought of Jiang Mingzhu.
Yang Weiyi shook her head and reminded herself that Su Manman had been imitating Jiang Mingzhu all along. Her heart should definitely not soften for her.
The first trailer for “The Olden Days” was released that day.
Along with the light music, the first scene appeared on the screen.
Feng Yi was drinking on the Chinese parasol tree. Little Phoenix looked for Feng Yi and saw how carefree her elder was. She then climbed up the tree and imitated her. She laid down with one hand on her head while looking at Feng Yi with admiration.
When the Dragon Emperor appeared, Little Phoenix accidentally fell from the tree and was caught by the Dragon Emperor…
Accompanied by romantic music, Little Phoenix looked up at the Dragon Emperor’s handsome side profile and couldn’t hide the attraction in her eyes.
Feng Yi propped herself up to look at the Dragon Emperor and Little Phoenix. Little Phoenix then hurriedly ran away after bowing shyly. Feng Yi looked at her back as if she was looking at her own child, with a doting smile in her eyes.
Feng Yi then leaned against the Dragon Emperor, letting the Dragon Emperor take in Little Phoenix as his disciple. The scene changed. The Dragon Emperor took Little Phoenix as his disciple and trained her in the peach blossom forest. All this while Feng Yi elegantly sat on a tree, watching Little Phoenix and her lover dance.
Little Phoenix was clumsy and didn’t learn fast. She was afraid that her master would be angry, so she would go into the river to fish for her master, then climb a tree to pick a peach. Anything to please the Dragon Emperor…
The scene changed again. The Dragon Emperor was playing the zither on a small island in the middle of a lake. Little Phoenix was so envious that she wanted to learn it. The Dragon Emperor taught Little Phoenix hand in hand, making Little Phoenix more conscious of her feelings for the Dragon Emperor.
Later on, when Little Phoenix was about to undergo tribulation to ascend to the G.o.d realm, and the Dragon Emperor saw that she couldn’t hold on any longer, he gritted his teeth and rushed over to protect Little Phoenix in his arms. He helped Little Phoenix to withstand the lightning tribulation of the ascending G.o.d. As a result, he vomited blood and fell unconscious.
It was only then that Little Phoenix realized that she had fallen deeply in love with the Dragon Emperor and was struggling.
The first trailer ended.
No one had expected that the first trailer of “The Olden Days” would cause such a big reaction. The netizens exploded.
[@Little Ragdoll: F*ck! I’m a fan of the original novel! I had expressed how much I liked Elder Feng Yi when I read the book, and how much I hated her when she transformed! But… after the preview, I don’t think I can hate Feng Yi at all! The actress is too pretty!]
[@Little Fatso Clear Skies: I remember that the Dragon Emperor had never really liked Elder Feng Yi in the book. He only acted his part as a fiancé because it was a marriage agreement that was made when he was young! But looking at how he smiled at Elder Feng Yi when they sat on the Chinese parasol tree, if it wasn’t because he liked her, then what was it? PS: Elder Feng Yi is so beautiful! I would kneel and lick her feet for her gorgeous face!]
[@Little Bun: Did the director choose the wrong actor? The character Little Phoenix is supposed to be the number one beauty, but Elder Feng Yi is so much prettier than Little Phoenix. Comparatively… Little Phoenix is like an ugly duckling!]
[@The Fallen Lobster: Kneeling and licking Elder Feng Yi’s feet for her good looks!]
[@Straights on the Streets: Elder Feng Yi acted well! She completely portrayed Elder Feng Yi’s carefree and casual character in the early stages of the story! I always loved Elder Feng Yi when I was reading the book! Greetings to the actress playing Elder Feng Yi! You have completely acted out the Elder Feng Yi in my heart! I’m touched!]
[@Light Knife: Greetings, Elder Feng Yi! Future posters, please continue this!]
[@JiangXiaobai Loves Jasmine: For some reason, I wish Elder Feng Yi was the female lead! The Dragon Emperor and Elder Feng Yi are a match made in heaven. That r.e.t.a.r.ded Little Phoenix Emperor is simply a child! Greetings to Elder Feng Yi! My elder is mighty!]
[@Dragon’s Successor: Ahhhh… I’m having a change of heart! I used to like Little Phoenix the most, but I’m changing my mind after seeing the trailer because of Elder Feng Yi’s das.h.i.+ng looks! I apologize to Elder Feng Yi for supporting Little Phoenix before!]
[@Please Leave Me Quickly: Was the director in the right state of mind when he cast these actors? Little Phoenix is supposed to be the number one beauty in the world, but look at her! In terms of look, she’s about to be beaten to a pulp by Elder Feng Yi! To Elder Feng Yi, please rest well!]
Following that, “The Olden Days” became the trending topic on Weibo’s hot searches.
Thankfully, Su Manman was prepared for this. When the fans found Su Manman’s Weibo from “The Olden Days” crew’s official Weibo account, Su Manman’s Weibo account had already posted photos of the filming location. There were also character photos and some shots from a photo alb.u.m.
Numerous fans rushed to the Weibo account and, in just a morning, the number had exceeded 500,000. It was still increasing rapidly.
“The Olden Days” had become popular even before its broadcast. Su Manman had also become popular because of her excellent performance in the trailer, as well as her outstanding beauty.
Many people paid attention to the official Weibo account of the filming crew of ‘The Olden Days’. They clamored about Elder Feng Yi’s glorious beauty, saying that they would be punctually waiting in front of the television for the Elders to broadcast.
There were even people who hired spammers to flood the director’s Weibo and beg the director to change the ending so that Feng Yi and the Dragon Emperor could be together!
Even before the television drama was broadcasted, Su Manman and Gu Chengfeng already had fans s.h.i.+pping them. They called themselves Dragon and Phoenix Prosperity. Not only did they ask the director to change the ending every day, but they also asked the production crew of “The Olden Days” to send some lovey-dovey behind-the-scenes videos of the on-screen couple…
However, the only video they had right now was the trailer.
Su Manman’s fans edited a clip of Su Manman sitting on a large tree branch and holding a bottle of wine. They said that she was domineering and loved her!
Su Manman had already expected herself to become popular. She just hadn’t expected that a mere trailer would make her so popular!
Then, the crew of “Silent Disaster” sneakily released a few photos of Su Manman.
In “Silent Disaster,” Su Manman had fewer scenes, so the production crew had only released two sets of pictures.
One was of Su Manman donning a military uniform, and the other one was Su Manman wearing a cheongsam.
Su Manman’s fans went online immediately. When they saw Su Manman dressed in a military uniform, they went crazy, saying that she looked incredibly cool.
And when the cheongsam outlined her slim figure perfectly, they expressed their envy.
Meng Yuqiao was aware of Su Manman’s rising popularity and was so angry that she smashed the comb in her hand before calling Du Lingyang. “What’s wrong with you? Didn’t you say you were going to deal with Su Manman? Why is Su Manman suddenly so popular now? When are you going to teach her a lesson?”
