From Villain to Cherished: Counter My Role by Pampering Kids-Chapter 36 Zhang Qiaoqiao Joins the Team
Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Zhang Qiaoqiao Joins the Team
At the green screen site, a bunch of soldiers were already standing there.
A woman, like Su Xingwan, had already changed clothes and was standing inside.
"Hey, you come over here!"
Director Chen randomly called out to someone approaching.
Su Xingwan pointed at herself, "Me?"
"Yes, you, come over here." Director Chen looked up and suddenly realized it was Su Xingwan, whom he had just seen earlier, and he was momentarily stunned.
"It’s you? Why are you dressed like this?"
He didn’t recognize her at all.
This girl put in quite some effort, turning her makeup into this ghastly look.
The two little ones looked at their aunt.
"Sis, Auntie turned into a man again, hehe..."
Little Su Hua turned to her brother, "Brother, why does Auntie make herself look so ugly?"
Little Su Luo, having some understanding, explained, "Because Auntie needs to earn money, so she has to put on makeup like this, that way Auntie can earn money."
"Oh..."
"Brother, we also want to help Auntie earn more money."
Little Su Luo: "We’re already helping Auntie earn money, we were just earning money earlier."
Little Su Hua: "But we want to earn more money."
She only knew Auntie said that to bring Brother back would require a lot of money, and this surely wouldn’t be enough.
System: [Take it slowly, your aunt is not a capitalist, it’s good enough she can support you. Dreaming of getting your brother back? Keep dreaming.]
Little Su Luo heard the system’s words, tilted his head, "Can you have it in dreams?"
System: ...
Little Su Luo noted the system’s silence.
He continued, [How can we earn more money?]
System: [Go find your Uncle, then you’ll have it.]
Little Su Luo fell silent again.
"Su Xingwan, just stand here, I’m going to give you a close-up later," Director Chen said.
Su Xingwan nodded, "Okay."
She had already put a few blood packs on herself in advance and smeared some stuff on her face, making it even more detailed because of the upcoming close-up. After a few days of shooting here, she was slowly getting familiar with some of the rules and processes.

Today, a new actor joined the film crew, and that person was Zhang Qiaoqiao.
Zhang Qiaoqiao was from Qingfeng Entertainment, her manager always thought highly of her and gave her plenty of resources.
For this big IP, her manager also gave her this opportunity.
Zhang Qiaoqiao was thrilled when she got the role.
Even though it was just a small part, it was a drama by Director Chen.
She had played many small roles before, but none had left an impression on the audience.
But this drama by Director Chen was different.
It hadn’t even aired yet, but it was already gaining a lot of buzz online.
Even if she was playing just a small role, as long as she acted well, once this drama blew up, she could be noticed.
When she arrived on set, she bumped into Su Xingwan, who was working as an extra. frёeωebɳovel.com
"It’s you?"
Two women spoke out simultaneously.
Zhang Qiaoqiao immediately recognized Su Xingwan under that dark makeup, not expecting Su Xingwan would make herself look like this.
She instinctively mocked, "You’re just an extra in this crew? That’s really hard work!"
Su Xingwan seemed unaware of her sarcasm and asked, "What are you playing here?"
Zhang Qiaoqiao handed over the script she was holding, "Just take a look, definitely better than being an extra."
Then Su Xingwan glanced at the script and was surprised, "You’re playing the fallen nation’s princess, the male lead’s sister?"
Isn’t that the grown-up version of Little Su Hua’s character?
Su Xingwan couldn’t help but give Zhang Qiaoqiao a once-over.
"What’s with that look?"
Zhang Qiaoqiao thought she was being mocked for taking such a small role.
Although her role was the male lead’s sister, she had very few scenes, with only a dozen or so appearances over several dozen episodes.
After all, this was a major male lead drama, but her character was still the male lead’s biological sister.
Despite the few lines, the brother in the story was often searching and talking about her with the other main characters.
"Su Xingwan, who are you to laugh at me? You’re just an extra, not even a special guest actor, how dare you mock me?"
Su Xingwan was baffled: ???
[I wasn’t mocking you?]
Little Su Hua ran over with tiny footsteps.
"Our auntie wasn’t mocking you!"
As she spoke, Zhang Qiaoqiao’s gaze fell onto the two little ones.
Confused, "Are you two also following Su Xingwan to act here?"
Little Su Hua tilted her head, smiling brightly, "Yeah, it’s fun here."
Zhang Qiaoqiao didn’t linger on the chat and went off to do her job.
"Director Chen, I’m here to check-in today."
Director Chen glanced at her, someone pushed in by capital.
Initially, he disagreed, but finding Zhang Qiaoqiao’s lively personality somewhat fitting the role of the vivacious fallen princess, along with her pleasing appearance, he agreed.
Zhang Qiaoqiao spoke with a bit of flattery.
"Director Chen, my agent told me to show you great respect, I specially brought some gifts for you, hoping you will accept them."
Before Director Chen could respond, Zhang Qiaoqiao signaled her assistant to bring the prepared gifts over.
Director Chen took a glance, not particularly fond of such ingratiating networking.
"Alright, just leave them here."
Then continued, "How’s your script study?"
Zhang Qiaoqiao, wanting to leave a good impression, said, "I’ve memorized it all."
Hearing this, Director Chen nodded slightly, somewhat satisfied.
Not entirely useless.
He further asked, "How about understanding the character?"
Zhang Qiaoqiao paused.
She heard from her agent that Director Chen was very strict about acting.
She’d been studying the role these days, her agent advising her to play herself.
Still, she wasn’t sure how well she did, whether it met Director Chen’s standards.
So, she could only say, "Not... too bad," with a hint of uncertainty.
Director Chen didn’t say much more, not disliking her honest attitude.
"Alright then, you don’t have any scenes to do yet, just sit back and watch others for now."
"Okay." Zhang Qiaoqiao smiled.
Su Xingwan glanced at Zhang Qiaoqiao.
She was somewhat surprised that Zhang Qiaoqiao always seemed at odds with her, yet she was quite... sociable in front of others.
Director Chen shouted into his microphone, "Alright! Everyone take your positions! Let’s try to get this scene right in one go."
Afterwards, Zhang Qiaoqiao saw Su Xingwan, almost unrecognizable among the soldiers, running back and forth with a gun, her face darkened, small in stature, her movements clumsy, oddly finding the scene a bit humorously absurd.
As the thought occurred to her, she mentally spat a few times.
Then Director Chen gave Su Xingwan a close-up, instructing her to perform as he had directed.
Standing in front of Su Xingwan was one of the starring generals.
She quietly moved in, and while the lead didn’t notice, she raised a bloody sword and struck down...
