In this movie, Qiao Yiyi played the role of Shen Liangchuan’s fiancée.
Qiao Yiyi’s character had a crafty and unruly personality. When she discovers that Shen Liangchuan had gone to a brothel, she creates a scene and from then on, Shen Liangchuan would became a distracted fiancé.
This would cause unhappiness in their marital relationship.
Following this, Shen Liangchuan’s official career would be fraught with difficulties. In addition to his wife’s death later, he would find himself waking up to reality.
He would feel like life was full of ups and downs, and nothing was permanent.
If he wanted success in this confusing world, he had to abandon the idea of being a hero.
Hence, that would seal his fate as he gradually turned into an ambitious and ruthless character.
This scene was thus a critical one.
The big drama created by Qiao Yiyi had to be reasonable, so that viewers would sympathize with her.
Qiao Yiyi had acceptable acting skills. After she charged into the room, she bit her lip and her eyes turned bloodshot as she glared at Qiao Lian.
That look of fury and hatred in her eyes came to life and the viewers would find it realistic.
But the truth of the situation was…
Before she had come on stage, she had heard the crew workers exclaiming, “My god! Why do I feel that Best Actor Shen and this lady in yellow are so well-matched? She is so beautiful! No wonder that the male lead gets into an argument with the female lead over her. If I were the male lead, I’d pick a fight too!”
“That’s right, the actresses that the stage supervisor has found are absolutely stunning. The girl in yellow is fresh and pure, but the girl in red is not bad either!”
Qiao Yiyi was the leading actress of the movie, yet she was now being overshadowed by the appearance of these two extras. Her fury rose and those ill feelings saturated her acting.
She pushed the table away forcefully, and then reached out to sweep the dishes on the tabletop onto the floor.
She took a step forward and suddenly grabbed Qiao Lian, raising her hand to give her a vicious slap across her face!
Crack! The sound of the slap reverberated through the set.
Everyone was stunned.
From the time Qiao Yiyi had charged in, Shen Liangchuan’s character would feel guilty and instinctively put a distance between himself and the prostitute.
If Qiao Yiyi had complied with the script, she would have then grabbed and yanked Qiao Lian’s sleeve and interrogated Shen Liangchuan, “How could you like this tr*mp who gets onto every man there is?”
But…
She did not even say a word, she only gave Qiao Lian a tight slap?
Her movement had been too quick and sudden, leaving no time for anyone to react.
The director was stunned and everyone was frozen in shock.
Only Qiao Lian’s face was burning in pain from the slap.
The stage supervisor had not given her any warning of such a scene, hence without thinking at all, she knew that was Qiao Yiyi’s personal revenge.
The stage supervisor felt responsible for the two girls, as he had recruited them. Immediately, he drew in a sharp breath and said, “What’s going on?”
Qiao Yiyi then turned around and put on a worried expression, saying, “Director, I’m sorry, I got too carried away by the role. I thought my role has quite a forceful character, so surely she would do this. I couldn’t help getting into the emotions of the role and- and this happened. But I feel that there is nothing wrong with her hitting the prostitute. She is having an emotional outburst and, in addition, the slapping would inject some action into the plot, wouldn’t it?”
One couldn’t pick a fault with her reasoning.
Qiao Lian bit her lip. After so many years, Qiao Yiyi had indeed polished her skills.
