Chapter 137: Suffer Another Beating
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
This film was to promote newcomers in the entertainment industry.
Apart from Si Jingchuan, the rest of the cast were basically newbies. Even the actress who acted as Bai Yueguang’s stepmother was an actress who couldn’t become popular no matter how hard she tried. Her name was Yu Ling.
Yu Ling and Hao Gou were friends from when they were in the same production team.
She had heard from Hao Gou that Su Ji was a very intelligent actress.
Therefore, when she arrived at the set, no matter how much others gossiped about her, she still had a good impression of Su Ji.
At this moment, she was a little nervous. Although she had acted for ten years, “The Billion Stars” was a big production, and she hoped that she could make a difference in this film.
However, she had played many roles, such as a beggar, a woman who lost her foot and a mother. She had never played the role of a vicious stepmother.
“Su Ji,” she was a little out of sorts, “what do you think I should do for this role?”
Su Ji thought about it seriously for a while, then lifted her chin at Ning Lihua, who was ordering people around, “do you see her? Just act like her~”
Yu Ling followed her finger and looked at Ning Lihua.
After studying Ning Lihua’s posture for half a minute, she was suddenly inspired!
“I understand! Thank you!”
Ning Lihua could feel their gazes on her and twisted her neck arrogantly.
They must have never seen a rich lady who was more beautiful than the actress~
Meanwhile, Su Qianrou…
After changing into her outfit, coupled with her face of a supporting role, she looked like a crew member at first glance. She did not fit Ning Lihua’s style at all.
“Rou Rou! I’m here!”
Su Qianrou’s smile was a little stiff when she saw her mother.
Soon, she had to hold an umbrella for Su Ji and pour tea for her.
However, compared to the slapping scene that followed, it was nothing.
…
As the shoot progressed, Ning Lihua could no longer hold her head high.
His expression became uglier and uglier.
All the cameras and everyone’s eyes were on the character played by Su Ji.
Her adorable daughter was either holding an umbrella for Su Ji or pouring tea for her.
She was always at the edge of the camera, and from time to time, she would not be seen on screen.
“Song Heng,” Ning Lihua called out to him.
Song Heng was focused on the monitor screen. He took off the headphones and talked to Huang Huayu before going to Ning Lihua, “is there a problem?”
Ning Lihua suppressed her emotions and said, “why does Rou Rou always have such scenes? You’re the director, and your relationship with her…we’re not outsiders, so you can’t be too impartial…”
Her meaning was clear, but Song Heng still did not get the point. He said confidently, “don’t worry. Her most important scene is about to begin.”
Ning Lihua was overjoyed. She looked at him as if he was her future son-in-law., “really? I knew you’d treat her well!”
Song Heng smiled.
Song Heng returned to the set after the scene was done.
He began to prepare for the next scene.
Su Ji, Yu Ling, and Su Qianrou took their positions.
Song Heng and Huang Huayu explained the scene to them.
In her ten years of acting, Yu Ling had seen many types of actors and actresses. One could tell at a glance that Su Qianrou was a noob who loved to act.
She didn’t want to cause trouble for herself, so she asked Su Qianrou before filming, “I’m quite strong, so are we really going to go hard later… or just pretending?”
Su Qianrou had initially wanted to make a small sacrifice in exchange for a chance to become famous. However, when she heard Yu Ling say that she had a strong hand, she immediately hesitated.
However, she was too embarrassed to say that, so she turned to Song Heng for help, “what do you think…”
Song Heng touched his chin and thought about it seriously, “of course you have to go all out. Otherwise, it’ll look fake in such a tense scene!”
Su Qianrou bit her lip.
Song Heng could tell that she was nervous and consoled her, “don’t worry, we’ll try to get it in one take. It’ll be over after just one hit.”
“Alright…”
After explaining the positioning, the staff got into position. Song Heng spoke into the loudspeaker, “action!”
Ning Lihua knew that her daughter’s most important scene was about to begin, so she had specially mentioned this to her friends. The ladies were very supportive and praised Su Qianrou for being able to get such an important role when she just entered the art school. She would definitely be amazing in the future.
They even asked her to record a clip.
Ning Lihua sent a voice message to the group, “alright, then I’ll take one for you guys. But it hasn’t started broadcasting yet, so most people won’t be able to see it yet. You guys have to keep it a secret.”
After saying that, she raised her phone and turned on the video recorder.
“You little bitch! My son only wanted to enter your room to borrow something, but you were so ruthless! He’s still in the hospital. If anything happens to him, I won’t let you go!”
“Why would he come into my room at two in the middle of the night to borrow something? We’re not related by blood, and he’s already 18 years old. Do you really think he wants to borrow something?”
“What else could it be if not? Don’t take yourself too seriously! My son won’t be interested in trash like you!”
Su Ji and Yu Ling managed to create a tense atmosphere with just a few lines.
Yu Ling was furious and slammed a plane ticket on the table, “get out of the country! Don’t let me see you again, you little bitch! I think you’re the one who seduced my son!”
Su Ji glanced at the plane ticket and sneered, “are you in a hurry to drive me out of the country because you’re feeling guilty? Afraid that dad would come back and find out? Or are you afraid that I’ll sue your son? Heh, I really regret…”
“Do you regret hitting my son?” Yu Ling glared at her.
“I regret that I didn’t beat him up until he’s infertile!” Su Ji’s lips curled up.
The tension in the air had reached its peak, and Song Heng shot Su Qianrou a look.
Ning Lihua knew that it was her daughter’s turn, so she quickly aimed her phone at her.
Yu Ling raised her hand up high, about to hit Su Ji, but Su Qianrou stepped forward.
Yu Ling’s thick and solid palm slapped Su Qianrou’s face.
“Pa!”
Ning Lihua was stunned by the slap.
She did not expect that.
Her hand trembled and sent the video to the ladies in the group.
When Ning Lihua realized this, she was furious.
“Stop!”
Without thinking, she stood up and interrupted the shooting.
However, she did not know that she would only cause Su Qianrou to suffer another beating!
