CTTT Chapter 114.3

“Don’t worry, I know when to shoot.” After that, Jiang Ting hung up the phone with a ‘pop’.

Program crew: “…”

In the next few days, Jiang Ting was even more silent.

***

In the dormitory building of 100 collective actors.

Qiao Nan was a little unknown actress, and the most famous role she had ever played was a maid in a small web drama. At this time, she was in front of the mirror in the dormitory, practicing her eyes hard and remembering the private message that Director Jiang sent her.

“I have written the script, but I can’t show it to you for now, but you can figure out what it is.”

“Qiao Nan, the Demon Queen, the nine-tailed fox.”

“Bai Bi, the demon general, spider spirit.”

“Lan Fengzhi, little fox spirit.”

“Wang Yuantian, the wandering soul of the underworld…”

Among them, Director Jiang also sent her a message in private.

“You are an actor with temperament. You may not look like the most popular aesthetic in the eyes of the public, but you have a unique temperament. I need you to develop this temperament to the extreme.”

“Now, you don’t need to know what the plot is. You only need to know that next, you will play a demon queen. This demon queen can be naive, domineering, or even cynical.”

“You can act however you want, but you must be a real demon queen, the leader of the demon clan recognized by the people of the demon world. You should also practice your eyes in front of the mirror. Eyes are very important in this play.”

After Qiao Nan knew about it, she was under tremendous pressure.

She didn’t know the script or the character setting. The director threw a sentence to the actor ‘You can act however you want’, which made Qiao Nan completely confused.

She was just a small actor. Why did she have to face such a big problem?

After that, Qiao Nan had no choice but to bite the bullet and check the information. She began to post on various forums: Help, how to be a demon queen?

The people below replied.

1L: Has the landlord lost her mind?

2L: Green Post.

3L: Hahaha, Your Majesty the Demon Queen, go home and do your homework.

…

Fortunately, Qiao Nan did not give up. There were always some people who thought that although Qiao Nan was joking, they also followed Qiao Nan to talk nonsense and joke seriously.

32L: How to be a demon queen? This question is actually very simple. It depends on what kind of demon queen you want to be. A positive demon queen must be responsible and protect her people. A negative demon queen does not need that. Instead, she must make her people afraid of you and fear you.

…

78L: 32L is bullshit. A demon is a demon. There is no such thing as a positive demon queen. Think about it carefully. If the demon clan is really united, there would be no human affairs now. Demons are imagined by people. Even if they really exist, they will be destroyed by standing on the opposite side of humans. Why are they destroyed? They must be selfish, cruel, and evil. Therefore, a positive demon queen is definitely not a serious demon queen.

From the mouths of these people, Qiao Nan slowly realized a word, ‘demon’. But what was a demon?

A demon was one who had a completely different side from humans.

The so-called love and affection could only be felt by people who stood at the top of the food chain. Which wild animal on the earth did not live for food and clothing? Did they have love before? Even if they became spirits, would they have love?

Gradually, Qiao Nan got a little bit trapped and a little crazy.

Her eyes began to change. When she looked in the mirror, she showed all kinds of negative emotions such as contempt, playfulness, madness, and indifference.

The other roommates in the same dormitory who went to other crews one after another were shocked every time they saw this scene, and they began to spread it outside.

“Director Jiang’s crew has not started filming, and the actress Qiao Nan in their group in our dormitory is almost driven crazy.”

“You know, Lan Fengzhi in our dormitory has gone crazy. He talks nonsense every day and almost scares people to death.”

“Our dormitory is even worse. Bai Bi crawls on the bed, wall, and floor every day, and occasionally shows a terrifying smile. I have goosebumps and want to change dormitories.”

Translator’s Comment:

Yes, Jiang Ting makes a lot of changes in the original script. A lot. Haha… It’s really interesting.

Btw, let me tell you about it first. Qian Nan is the female protagonist, the Demon Queen who rules the demon world.

Actually, in the original text, it uses 王 (wàng), which means king/monarch.

But, since it’s the female role, I changed it to Demon Queen.

So, please don’t confuse the heroine as the wife of the Demon King.
