Chapter 703: Chapter 705: Revenge (2)
Moreover, it was Xue Feifei who first apologized: “I’m sorry, I was too invested just now, I was focusing on remembering the moves, and might have been a bit too rough. My apologies.”
Just a bit rough? Xiang Yirou clenched her teeth: “No problem, I just had the feeling that your acting is not bad.”
“Should we reshoot?” Xue Feifei moved her wrist with a face full of regret as if she did not fully enjoy the previous act, “I think we can still make some improvements. For instance, when I was punching and kicking just now, I was too focused on facial expression and neglected my movements. I should perform better.”
This was the first time in her life that Xiang Yirou did not want to reshoot. Each of Xue Feifei’s moves was so strong that she doubted her life. Hesitating for a moment, the director finally nodded, “Sure, Yirou, you need to be a bit gentler. And Feifei, don’t be so calm, express a bit more.”
Xue Feifei nodded, turned around to look at Xiang Yirou with a mischievous smile, “Alright, I got it. I’ll show more opposition.”
For unknown reasons, Xiang Yirou trembled slightly as she stared at Xue Feifei’s face.
Xue Feifei added with a smile, “If we can’t get it right this time, do we have to do it again?”
“Xue Feifei!” I swear, I will fight you! Xiang Yirou was rare to lose control of her expressions. What did she mean? Did she want to beat her again?
“Try to get it right at once.” Director Zhao knew that these two had issues and both were eager to sabotage each other. He didn’t want to meddle with the actresses’ issues, he just wanted to shoot a good film.
To prevent Xue Feifei from starting a third take, Xiang Yirou made an effort of 120%. And Xue Feifei listened to Director Zhao’s words. Every punch she threw was extremely precise, each one landed on Xiang Yirou with such force that it would cause internal injuries for half a day. The expression on Xiang Yirou’s face was genuine. The pain, resentment, anger—all these emotions were reflected in her face. She slightly trembled from the pain, even her eyes were red. Later when she went to compete for Best Actress, she extracted this fight scene because of the genuine emotions she displayed. It was an extraordinary performance.
On this second take, Xue Feifei used all her strength. She followed Director Zhao’s directions, not trying to restrain her expressions, but rather unleashed her strength to give Xiang Yirou a sound beating.
It was a one-shot scene. After the fight, the places where Xiang Yirou had been hit turned blue. An assistant came to apply the medicine and she grimaced in pain. Xue Feifei, who had been practicing freestyle combat, didn’t feel any pain. She could even discuss the next scene with her fellow actress.
Meanwhile, she was also deeply confused.
Xue Feifei was just an eighteen-line actress whereas she was already famous. She admitted that Xue Feifei was good-looking and her acting skills were pretty good. Yet, in this circle, whether a person would be popular or not is a mystery. Even if you are beautiful and work hard, it’s possible that you won’t make it.
Why was she so fearless? Was there someone behind her? Could it be that because of her friend she got connected to Qin Zhiyou and they found such a connection for her?
No, that’s not right. Based on what she knew about Qin Zhiyou, he could at most help Lu Weixi. He would not extend his help to her friend, especially not providing her with such powerful resources. Huang Mi was not her backer and it seemed Director Zhao wasn’t either. So, who was she connected to?
