Chapter 742: The Drama of the Audition

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“The first scene of the audition starts now.” The staff of the props team was extremely efficient. They had already arranged the scene in the space of everyone’s conversation.

“A b*tch like you still dares to come to Young Master Hong’s side? You really don’t know the immensity of Heaven and Earth!”

“You don’t know how to take a piss and look at yourself!” The director hired an extra actor to narrate the character.

“I’m just from a poor family, but I’m also a child of a decent family. Why can’t I date Young Master Hong?!”

“You b*tch, you’re still being stubborn huh?! Then let me see just how stubborn your mouth is!” Yun Xi raised her palm and slapped Wei Xiao’s delicate little face.

“Slap!”

A resounding slap resounded throughout the entire scene. The hearts of all the staff members almost jumped out of their chests. Only the female director had a satisfied smile on her face after seeing this.

Wei Xiao had clearly been stunned by this slap. She had not expected that a rookie would actually dare to slap her.

Wei Xiao had also forgotten the lines she had memorized in advance. She hurriedly stood up from the ground and was about to retaliate against Yun Xi with a backhand.

“Cut!”

The female director saw that the situation was not looking good and quickly got the staff to shout ‘cut’.

“What’s going on? This is not how the rest of the scenes will be played! You should cover your face and pretend to be unconfident. Then, you should complain about how difficult it was for you to walk all the way here. Coincidentally, these scenes were heard by Young Master Hong, who happened to be passing by.” The female director carefully explained the rest of the plot.

“Director! When we were filming previously, we didn’t say that she would actually hit me, right?! This newly-found actor is too ignorant of the situation. If she directly hits my face until it swells up, how am I going to continue filming for the rest of the scenes?!” Wei Xiao pointed at her own face.

“What?!” Yun Xi pretended to be ignorant.

“So am I not supposed to actually hit her? I thought that when a dedicated actor like teacher Wei Xiao encounters such a scene, she would usually take the hit for real.” If one wanted to cause a person to fall miserably, one had to put the person on a pedestal first.

“This is also my first time participating in a production crew’s shooting. I didn’t know much about it before. I only learned some behind-the-scenes stories about the shooting during the television interview. I heard from award-winning Actress Zhou that all the fighting scenes she encountered were real. I thought that all professional actors were like this.”

Yun Xi pulled the situation to the extreme in an instant. If Wei Xiao continued to argue about it, then she would be an unprofessional actor. She would be an actor without acting skills.

Wei Xiao’s lips curled into an awkward smile.

“I just feel that we’re not really filming this scene, so there’s no need to really hit me! When I’m filming, of course, I’ll strive to be realistic! It’s just that you guys didn’t tell me about this audition.” Wei Xiao quickly regained some face for himself.

“Director! Now that I’ve found the feeling, why don’t we do another scene!” Wei Xiao smiled sinisterly.

“That’s fine too! The props team, pack up. We’ll start preparing for the second scene.”

The female director sat in front of the camera again. Yun Xi and Wei Xiao began to repeat the same lines from before.

“…”

“…”

…

“Your mouth is really tough! Then let me see just how tough your mouth is!” Yun Xi raised her wrist and exerted all her strength to hit Wei Xiao’s face.

Even though Wei Xiao had made ample preparations beforehand, she did not expect a little girl like Yun Xi actually had such great strength.

This slap caused her brain to begin to buzz.

Wei Xiao first squatted on the ground and finished saying these lines, then looked at Yun Xi with a bitter expression.

The female director held the megaphone tightly. This might be the most skillful acting Wei Xiao had ever done since she came into contact with Wei Xiao.

It seemed that one’s potential still needed to be stimulated!

“Stop putting on an act in front of me! I told you not to think about things that don’t belong to you in the first place. Today is just a lesson. If I wanted to kill you, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.”

When Yun Xi said these lines, she was still very domineering.

The male actor who played Young Master Hong had not arrived yet, so the audition ended there.

However, just as the female director was about to call it a day, Wei Xiao suddenly sat up and pounced on Yun XI, biting her tender arm.

“Ah!”

Yun Xi did not expect Wei Xiao’s sudden action. Her tender skin was bitten by the sharp teeth, and Yun Xi subconsciously cried out.
