âSister 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?â Xiao Tian stared at Yang Qiu in the distance, feeling indignant on Fang Moâerâs behalf.
Fang Moâer merely glanced at her and said indifferently, âThe netizens are only criticizing me because they think that my acting skills canât compare to hers. After all, she has won all sorts of awards. Itâs indeed a pity to be the second female lead. Howeverâ¦â
Fang Moâer took a sip of water and continued, âHowever, once the TV series is finished, the audience will know whether Iâm capable of being the female lead or not.â
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 leadâs 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 Moâer.
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.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Before they started, Yang Qiu generously said, âItâs fine. In order to give a more realistic feeling, you can do it for real.â
Fang Moâer refused, âWe just do a fake one. Just take my cue to avoid it.â
Yang Qiu was ungrateful. She looked at Fang Moâer coldly and said, âMiss Fang, getting hurt during filming is inevitable. If youâre afraid of getting hurt, itâs better if you go back to singing.â
âMiss Yang, the purpose of acting is to use make something fake seem realistic. If everything was real, all actors would have died long ago,â Fang Moâer 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, âBegin!â
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 Moâer, âBrother Xu is mine. I grew up with him. Weâre childhood sweethearts. No one can separate us!â
Fang Moâerâs female lead was not willing to be outdone either, she met Yang Qiuâs provocative gaze and said calmly, âItâs true that you two grew up together, but Chen Xu already confessed his feelings to me half a year ago. Weâre now a couple. If he has feelings for you instead, then I would end the relationship immediately. But he doesnât like you. Why are you being so selfish?â.
Yang Qiu heard Fang Moâerâs words and laughed instead of getting angry. She said slowly, âWhat does he like about you? Does he like the fact that youâre 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?â
âYouâre such a shameless person. Brother Xu just wants to have some fun, alright? Heâll leave when heâs done with you. So I advise you to leave on your own accord so that you wonât end up trapped in this mess.â
Yang Qiuâs words trampled on Fang Moâerâs 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 Moâerâs female lead was already not in the best of moods lately. Now that she was being provoked by Yang Qiuâs female lead, she flew into a rage and slapped Yang Qiu.
Just as Fang Moâerâs hand had almost touched Yang Qiuâs face, Yang Qiu unexpectedly did not dodge at all. Fortunately, she had been holding back, otherwise, she would have really slapped her.
âMiss Yang, letâs do it again. Pay attention to my movements. If you donât dodge, we wonât be able to continue filming this scene.â Fang Moâer good-naturedly advised her.
Yang Qiu agreed, but she did not dodge the second time either and Fang Moâer almost hit her face again.
Fang Moâer was about to speak, but Yang Qiu quickly interjected unhappily, âMiss Fang, in this scene, youâre 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 itâs too fast, I wonât be able to react in time, so Iâll just let you actually slap me.â
Fang Moâerâs 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?

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 Moâer 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 Moâer had no other choice. So, finally, for the last take, she actually slapped Yang Qiuâs face.
She looked at the incredulity in Yang Qiuâs 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 Moâer a provocative smile.
Yang Qiuâs expression changed very quickly. In the next second, she immediately returned to the required expression in the script.
