Chapter 39: The Force Was Just Right, Confused But Not Brain-Damaged (Please Collect, Please Recommend)

"Home Temptation, Scene 23, Take 1, action!"

The script supervisor clapped the slate, and filming officially began.

Lin Yide, played by Lei Jiayin, wore a displeased expression as he walked in from outside the glass revolving door and stormed angrily into the office building of Xufeng Construction Company.

Before this scene, Ai Li had run to the Lin family, exaggerating how Lin Pinru was bullied in the Hong family and how poorly she was living.

Thus, Lin Yide, as the elder brother-in-law, came furiously to trouble Hong Shixian, preparing to teach Hong Shixian a lesson.

Meanwhile, Ai Li, who had stirred up this matter, hid and watched the relationship between the Hong and Lin families grow increasingly strained.

Off-camera, three actresses, Qiu Chixuan, Xinzi, and Zheng Yitong, gathered together, ready to watch the first fight scene of this production team.

Similarly, this was also the beginning of Hong Shixian getting beaten.

Later, Hong Shixian, played by Beside Qi Hui Hui, would be beaten by his own father Hong Guorong, by his eldest sister Baolian, by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and even by Ai Li.

In short, every named character in the drama basically beat Hong Shixian.

However, according to the script setting, Hong Shixian had the highest combat power.

In the second half, he would easily hang around and beat Lin Yide.

It's just that Hong Shixian was a coward who despised violence, never hitting anyone, until he simply couldn't hold back later on.

"Hong Shixian—!" In front of the camera, Lin Yide frowned slightly and shouted very displeased, then strode purposefully toward Hong Shixian.

On the other side, the assistant director commanded the extras to move closer.

"Cut!"

However, before the extras could move over, Director Lin directly called a stop and said very dissatisfied: "Lei Jiayin, what are you weak about?"

"You are angry, you are here to hit someone, you should be full of momentum, that kind of person, what are you weak about?"

"Your emotion is entirely superficial, simply angry for the sake of being angry; Lin Bei, didn't I tell you?"

The one who should be weak is Beside Qi Hui Hui.

The scene before this one was Ai Li running into Hong Shixian's office to seduce him, and she even took Ai Li's room key.

"I'm sorry, Director..." Lei Jiayin's large face was full of embarrassment: "My fault, I'll fix it immediately."

Director Lin called out: "Focus, don't overthink, you are working right now."

Still dwelling on that matter just now... Director Lin felt helpless; even Beside Qi Hui Hui isn't dwelling on it, what are you still dwelling on?

The girls looked at each other in confusion; what's wrong with this big head?

"Yes!" Lei Jiayin nodded hurriedly.

"Extras reset, actors reset!" the assistant director shouted: "Again."

"Home Temptation, Scene 23, Take 1, Take 2, action!"

The script slate was struck, and filming resumed.

Lin Yide frowned slightly, his hair slightly messy, with a look of displeasure and indignation on his face.

He angrily pushed open the glass revolving door, looked up, and happened to see Hong Shixian.

His steps paused slightly, then he immediately shouted angrily: "Hong Shixian—!"

Director Lin nodded in satisfaction; this time was very good!

Lei Jiayin used to work in theater, so his acting skills were not bad.

On the set, Hong Shixian, played by Beside Qi Hui Hui, turned his body sideways, glanced sideways at his elder brother-in-law, his fingers moved involuntarily, and his gaze was somewhat wavering.

Guilty conscience!

He was having an affair, and the woman he was having an affair with was Pinru's best friend since childhood, and also the woman his elder brother-in-law admired and loved.

Behind the monitor, Director Lin found it somewhat funny; how did this kid act like he was truly having an affair?

On the set, Lin Yide strode purposefully to stand in front of Hong Shixian.

Beside Qi Hui Hui instinctively took a step back; facing the angry elder brother-in-law, he had no confidence in his heart.

"You shameless scoundrel!" Lin Yide directly scolded their president in front of the entire company:

"I'm asking you, are you a coward? You can't even take care of your own wife."

Saying this, he even raised his finger and poked Hong Shixian's chest viciously.

A bit hard... Lei Jiayin glanced instinctively; this kid has nice pectoral muscles.

Off-camera, Director Lin saw him getting distracted, but didn't call a stop.

The next shot will be a wide angle; just cut it out.

Since he didn't call a stop, the acting naturally continued.

"This is a company, please do not run wild here, okay?" Hong Shixian said official-sounding words.

But Lin Yide was not only his elder brother-in-law, but also his classmate.

Just this sentence already exposed his guilt and cowardice; he didn't even refute, nor did he admit his mistake.

Hearing this, Lin Yide instantly became furious: "What kind of attitude is that? I really went blind letting my sister marry you!"

Having said that, he swung a big fist and punched toward Beside Qi Hui Hui's face.

Seeing the fist coming, Beside Qi Hui Hui forcefully tilted his head, pretending to get hit by the punch.

The timing was very accurate, neither too early nor too late.

He had the 【Martial Arts Director】 skill, and his own reaction was not slow; achieving this wasn't difficult.

Lei Jiayin was somewhat surprised; he felt this pretty boy cooperated perfectly, as if he had practiced many times.

Hong Shixian covered his face, his eyes full of shock; immediately after, Lin Yide gathered strength, and the second punch was about to come.

"Cut!" At this moment, the director suddenly called a stop.

Beside Qi Hui Hui lowered his hand covering his face and looked at the director in confusion.

"Did I have a problem?"

No!

"It's not you, it's Lei Jiayin," Director Lin said, frowning:

"I told you during the rehearsal to bring out the anger, to bring out the power!"

"Why were your fists so limp just now? Again!"

Lei Jiayin looked at Beside Qi Hui Hui, took a sharp deep breath.

"3, 2, 1, action!"

Clenching his fist, gathering strength, he swung the wide hook again.

Beside Qi Hui Hui maintained his feigned guilt, timed it right, tilted his head, and got "hit" again.

"Cut! Still no good, the emotion isn't there, the power isn't enough," Director Lin shouted.

Lei Jiayin seemed afraid of hitting someone; every time he started well, full of power, but there was always a sense of lacking follow-through.

Lei Jiayin's chest heaved; he could only keep taking deep breaths to adjust.

"Again!"

Lei Jiayin's expression turned angry; he clenched his fist, gathered strength, and swung the wide hook out forcefully.

"Cut, use more force!"

"Again!"

Lei Jiayin, angry, clenched his fist and struck.

"Cut, again!"

Lei Jiayin clenched his fist and struck.

"Cut!"

Lei Jiayin's face flushed red; for the first time, he began to doubt his own acting.

It wasn't just self-doubt; the crowd of extras and the three female actresses watching from the side made his face burn with shame and embarrassment.

For the first time, he had been rejected so many times.

Beside Qi Hui Hui, standing nearby, felt a bit helpless; he even wanted to step in as Lei Jiayin's stunt double and just get this scene filmed.

"Take a break and adjust," Director Lin said helplessly.

Immediately, the extras began to clamor, muttering to each other.

Qiu Chixuan, Xinzi, and Zheng Yitong, the three female actresses, huddled together whispering, seemingly discussing the scene just performed.

These sounds drifted out, sounding especially grating to Lei Jiayin; the shame and irritation already swirling in his heart instantly ignited into a flame of anger.

This situation is generally summarized by one idiom: anger born of shame!

"Alright, continue filming," Director Lin said, glancing at his watch.

"3, 2, 1, action!"

Crack!

The moment the clapperboard sound fell, Lei Jiayin clenched his fist, gathered strength, swung a massive hook, and smashed it hard toward Beside Qi Hui Hui's face.

Beside Qi Hui Hui's face, which had been maintaining a guilty expression, involuntarily furrowed; hadn't he held back his strength?

A faint sound of air tearing surrounded the fist as it headed straight for Beside Qi Hui Hui's face.

He really hadn't held back... Beside Qi Hui Hui's eye twitched; well, a fake hit had turned into a real one.

Beside Qi Hui Hui's lips curled; he immediately stepped forward.

His left hand rose, blocking Lei Jiayin's swinging fist.

His right hand curved slightly and slapped out, directly covering that large face of his.

Tai Chi Fist, Face-Striking Palm!

Slap!

Lei Jiayin's head snapped back; his already unbalanced body, struck by that slap, collapsed straight onto the ground with a thud.

The force was just right; stunned but no brain damage!
