Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Su could sense that Leping Bolin didn't intend to coerce Funina; she simply...

silly.

And this silly guy is right about one thing: Fu Ningna is indeed very interested in and has a lot of ideas about their script, or rather, about making films.

Seeing that Funina was hesitant, Su gently nudged her with words, "If you like it, just do it. I'll support whatever you do."

Funina: "I..."

She was worried that people would be disappointed if she couldn't get a good film despite her best efforts. She knew that various problems would inevitably arise during filming.

Paimon noticed Funina's interest. "They've already spent all their money, so the outcome can't be worse than it is now. Funina, give it a try! Sue and I will help!"

Su: "Yeah, just treat it as a game. Sometimes the more relaxed you are, the better the result. Don't put pressure on yourself, Funina."

Furina glanced at Sue and Paimon, who were looking at her encouragingly, and then at Gedini and Lepingpolitan, whose eyes were full of expectation.

Funina: "Then I'll...give it a try?"

Gordeni and Lepingpolin embraced each other, weeping with joy, "Our savior, Lady Frinina!"

"Yay!" Paimon and Sue clapped and threw flowers together. "Director Furnessa!"

As a director, Fulina coughed twice, but couldn't hide her joy. After a moment's thought, she quickly got into work mode.

“First,” Furnessa handed the script to Godine, “Miss Godine, I need you to divide this film into scenes.”

Gordani took the script with both hands. "Understood. I've carefully divided the scenes, times, characters, and timelines."

“Then,” Furnessa looked at Leping Bolin, “Miss Leping Bolin is the production assistant in charge of filming equipment and basic props, right?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Leping Bolin nodded repeatedly, quickly pulling out a detailed list. “I guarantee that the lenses and film are the best available on the market!”

Funina glanced at the list. "Indeed... and the quantities are plentiful, even spare parts have been taken into account." About half of her nine-figure savings has been spent on this.

Leping Bolin looked at Funina like a puppy waiting for a command, "Director, Director, what do you need me to do next?"

“Your next task is—” Funina’s gaze shifted to Chiori, who had been watching the farce for a while, “to deal with our stylist!”

"Yes, ma'am!" Yamakaze Bolin turned around, clasped her hands together, and looked at Chiori with her big, pleading puppy eyes. "Miss Chiori~"

Chihiro was as firm as stone and as cold as ice. "I refuse."

Paimon, who had promised to help, caught up, "Chiori~"

Chiori remained steadfast, saying, "I refuse."

Su, who was being gestured to by Paimon's eyes, said, "Chiori-ori~"

Chiori: ...

Chiori: "Su, be normal."

"Qianzhi, come play with us~" Su pretended to be coy and bumped into Qianzhi, almost knocking her over.

"I told you to be normal!" Chiori stepped aside, enduring the throbbing pain in her forehead.

Having discovered Chiori's weakness, Su continued in a affected, manipulative voice, "Hmm~ No, no~ Unless Chiori joins us."

Chiori gritted her teeth, "Wait!"

"Wow, there's that trick too!" Le Ping Bolin looked at Su with admiration. "I've learned something new..."

“You’re not allowed to learn this,” Gordanie bluntly revealed the reality, “You’ll get beaten up if you do!”

"The stylist is ready; the next step is to consider the actors." Funina carefully studied the actor information that Leping Bolin had booked.

To be honest, they were all pretty good, and some even became somewhat familiar to Furnessa, but...

"But the script's requirements for action scenes are really too high, and they probably won't be able to complete them smoothly."

Even if you manage to complete it, the quality won't be very high, and there's still a risk of injury.

Fu Ningna selected the profiles of several actors with a background in or expertise in rhythmic gymnastics. "We can discuss these with them, but there is still no main role available."

"We're short-staffed?" Su picked up a character design draft. "How about I play Black Crystal?"

Of course she'd support Funina's new business, and she could even give it a try—a win-win situation!

When Funina looked up, she was stunned to see the character sketch next to Su and her face. Then she turned to look at the inexplicably guilty Gedaini and Leping Bolin.

Paimon: "Why does the Black Crystal look so much like Su?" Could it be that it was modeled after Su?!

"Yes, yes... why?" Gordanie was sweating profusely and didn't know how to explain.

Black Crystal is a character she created by combining the knight of a destroyed nation with a phantom from a hazy nightmare.

This character is characterized by extreme beauty, power, ruthlessness, and madness.

My goodness, now that I think about it, this character's traits really fit Miss Su perfectly, and the more I think about it, the more perfect she seems!

Gordanie was almost in tears. "Maybe...maybe it's because a similar spark of inspiration came together?"

"Of course! Even if some of the character's style and traits overlap with Miss Su's, Miss Su is definitely not the evil Black Crystal in the script!"

She knew that Miss Su had done a lot for Lady Funina and Fontaine, and she always remembered Miss Su's kindness in saving her.

Su flipped through the script. "I don't think the Black Crystal is that evil. It only destroyed a city."

"And why do we always have to give the villains a compelling reason? Can't they just enjoy doing bad things?"

"Why destroy everything someone else cherishes?" Su's lips curled into a wicked smile. "Because I can."

Paimon yelled and screamed, "What a bad villain!"

"Cool!" Funina exclaimed before retorting, "But it won't work."

"Reality may be irrational, but a story must be logical. The villain's evil deeds must be explained with a reason that the audience can accept."

Su thought for a moment, "The reason... is because of curiosity!"

"Just like how people are always curious about whether beheading or cutting in half results in more blood spurting, right? It's normal for Black Crystal to be curious about the extent of her abilities. Hmm? Why are you all making that face?"

Gordani and Leping Bolin were filled with shock, as if they wanted to shout.

Who would be curious about something like that?! And could it be that Miss Su has already tried it out?!

No wonder Miss Su thought the black crystal wasn't evil enough; the deeper darkness was hidden here!

Paimon and Furnessa, however, were worried.

"Su...do you usually think about these things? Is it...is it because you've been under too much pressure lately?"

Is she under a lot of pressure?

Su paused for a moment, then began to think.

Funina tightened her grip on Su's hand and declared, "It wouldn't be bad for Su to play a villain and vent her frustrations. No actor would be more suitable for the role of Black Crystal than Su!"

Gordanie and Leping Bolin nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Ms. Su only needs to play herself to make the audience fully feel the coldness and power of the Black Crystal!
