Qiao Yiyi listened to his words, ashen faced.
She bit her lip, knowing that at this point, even if she were to stay silent, she would become a laughing stock in people’s minds.
She clenched her fists tightly and glared at Shen Liangchuan.
Although they didn’t know each other very well, he had always been quite cordial with her.
But why was he behaving like this today?
Still biting her lip, her eyes reddened and she put on a pitiful expression, as though she had been bullied.
However, before she could even start sobbing, Qiao Lian interrupted, “Ms. Qiao, I’m just an extra. Even though I took a tight slap from you, I did not say a word. As a professional actress, I do think that you should at least have that inner quality.”
Qiao Yiyi flushed when she heard Qiao Lian’s words.
She probably couldn’t express her grievances anymore.
After all, she should have that sort of professional cultivation as an actor.
She was furious and gave Qiao Lian a hard glare, before she looked towards Shen Liangchuan.
Best Actor Shen had a reputation within the industry. Everyone knew that in the past, there had been an actress by the name of Yang Lingsi who had become a big joke overnight, after he asked if she had “learnt her acting skills from pigs.”
To date, she had not been considered for any roles since then.
To remain viable in the industry, one had to gain Best Actor Shen’s approval.
Somehow, she had to find a way to make him take back what he had just said about her.
Qiao Yiyi’s eye reddened involuntarily. “Teacher Shen, I was wrong, please forgive me. I- I was only thinking that your fiancée’s role has a difficult character in the movie. So it wouldn’t be at all surprising if she hit someone. That was why I did it, I really did not do this on purpose. I know you didn’t either.”
At this point, everyone had turned towards her to look at how pitiful she seemed.
At once, everyone felt that perhaps the kick that Best Actor Shen had given her had been a little much.
However, Shen Liangchuan casually said, “Ms. Qiao, your character in this movie is a bold and forceful one. Not one that would cry and throw a tantrum at the drop of a hat. Look at you now… you are not even at all like the character in the script.”
Immediately, these words put Qiao Yiyi in a conundrum. She looked up, now unable to continue crying, yet not knowing how else she could react.
Qiao Yiyi stood there in a daze while Shen Liangchuan grabbed Qiao Lian’s wrist, dragging her behind him and saying, “We’ll continue shooting this segment tomorrow.”
Then he turned and walked out.
Everyone present was shocked.
Ever since Best Actor Shen had launched his career, he was known within the circle to be a dedicated professional. He had never put on any airs as a celebrity.
But now…
The director’s expression darkened, and the stage supervisor was peeved.
Qiao Yiyi was at a complete loss.
That was the end of her!
She knew that she had crossed Best Actor Shen, and the consequences of crossing Best Actor Shen were…
Qiao Yiyi didn’t dare think any further!
She glanced at everyone who had gathered around and distinctly felt the looks of disdain they were casting on her.
Looking at the director, she started to say, “Director, I—”
The director waved his hand dismissively and said with a sudden change of attitude, “Go remove your makeup, we’ll continue tomorrow.”
The tide had turned. Qiao Yiyi felt a big change in attitude of the cast and crew towards her.
No.
This couldn’t be.
She had to repair her relationship with Best Actor Shen.
And the way to do this… was to get that person to come in. With that person’s status, surely the filming crew would give her some face.
Qiao Yiyi picked up the cell phone. The line connected. She immediately said with a big smile, “Second Brother, I’ve encountered some trouble filming and I was wondering if you could step in to help me?”
Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!!🥳🎄🎁🎄
