Chapter 512 - Was Really Huge
Chapter 512 Was Really Huge
“Sister Fang, Yang Qiu is too much. The director himself chose you to be the female lead. Is there a need for her to act so pitifully?” Xiao Tian stared at Yang Qiu in the distance, feeling indignant on Fang Mo’er’s behalf.
Fang Mo’er merely glanced at her and said indifferently, “The netizens are only criticizing me because they think that my acting skills can’t compare to hers. After all, she has won all sorts of awards. It’s indeed a pity to be the second female lead. However…”
Fang Mo’er took a sip of water and continued, “However, once the TV series is finished, the audience will know whether I’m capable of being the female lead or not.”
Putting everything else aside, she was absolutely confident in her acting skills. After all, she had put in a lot of effort to play this role well.
The second scene was where the second female lead and the female lead were competing for the male lead’s affections.
Yang Qiu, as the second female lead, and Lu Yu, as the male lead, had been childhood sweethearts. The two of them had grown up together and had only gone their separate ways when they had gone to university.
The second female lead had gone abroad to further her studies while the male lead had stayed in the country to work hard.
After she had graduated from university, the second female lead returned to the country. Initially, she had wanted to go and confess her feelings to the male lead. However, she soon realized that the male lead already had a girlfriend. It was the female lead, Fang Mo’er.
The director wanted to shoot the scene where the second female lead gave a warning to the female lead. In this scene, the female lead would end up slapping the second female lead.
Before they started, Yang Qiu generously said, “It’s fine. In order to give a more realistic feeling, you can do it for real.”
Fang Mo’er refused, “We just do a fake one. Just take my cue to avoid it.”
Yang Qiu was ungrateful. She looked at Fang Mo’er coldly and said, “Miss Fang, getting hurt during filming is inevitable. If you’re afraid of getting hurt, it’s better if you go back to singing.”
“Miss Yang, the purpose of acting is to use make something fake seem realistic. If everything was real, all actors would have died long ago,” Fang Mo’er retorted.
The director noticed that the two actresses had already started arguing even before the filming had even started. Not only was he not worried, but he was also quite happy.
This meant that the scene where the two actresses were arguing would definitely be better.
After the two of them had finished arguing, the director shouted, “Begin!”
Yang Qiu was indeed worthy of being named best actress. When she heard that the filming of the scene had started, she immediately put on a prideful look and warned Fang Mo’er, “Brother Xu is mine. I grew up with him. We’re childhood sweethearts. No one can separate us!”
Fang Mo’er’s female lead was not willing to be outdone either, she met Yang Qiu’s provocative gaze and said calmly, “It’s true that you two grew up together, but Chen Xu already confessed his feelings to me half a year ago. We’re now a couple. If he has feelings for you instead, then I would end the relationship immediately. But he doesn’t like you. Why are you being so selfish?”.
Yang Qiu heard Fang Mo’er’s words and laughed instead of getting angry. She said slowly, “What does he like about you? Does he like the fact that you’re an orphan without any parents? Or does he like the fact that you were once dumped by your boyfriend? Or does he like the fact that you were almost raped in the past?”
“You’re such a shameless person. Brother Xu just wants to have some fun, alright? He’ll leave when he’s done with you. So I advise you to leave on your own accord so that you won’t end up trapped in this mess.”
Yang Qiu’s words trampled on Fang Mo’er’s heart, bringing up the sad memories of the past.
As if it had not been enough to say that, Yang Qiu continued to scold her.
Due to the stress of her work, Fang Mo’er’s female lead was already not in the best of moods lately. Now that she was being provoked by Yang Qiu’s female lead, she flew into a rage and slapped Yang Qiu.
Just as Fang Mo’er’s hand had almost touched Yang Qiu’s face, Yang Qiu unexpectedly did not dodge at all. Fortunately, she had been holding back, otherwise, she would have really slapped her.
“Miss Yang, let’s do it again. Pay attention to my movements. If you don’t dodge, we won’t be able to continue filming this scene.” Fang Mo’er good-naturedly advised her.
Yang Qiu agreed, but she did not dodge the second time either and Fang Mo’er almost hit her face again.
Fang Mo’er was about to speak, but Yang Qiu quickly interjected unhappily, “Miss Fang, in this scene, you’re supposed to be so angry and irrational that it causes you to slap me. If the reaction is too slow, the effect will be too fake. But if it’s too fast, I won’t be able to react in time, so I’ll just let you actually slap me.”
Fang Mo’er’s mouth twitched at the thought that some people still wanted to be slapped in this day and age.
Why was Yang Qiu so different from what she had imagined?
mo
After that, she tried a few more times. Each time, Yang Qiu did not dodge in time until even the director lost his patience and asked Fang Mo’er to slap her for real.
It was just a slap anyway. It would not be a big problem as long as she held back a little.
Fang Mo’er had no other choice. So, finally, for the last take, she actually slapped Yang Qiu’s face.
She looked at the incredulity in Yang Qiu’s eyes when she was slapped. After she was slapped, she took advantage of the angle where the camera could not see her and gave Fang Mo’er a provocative smile.
Yang Qiu’s expression changed very quickly. In the next second, she immediately returned to the required expression in the script.
