Chapter 52: This Woman Doesn't Seem Like a Good Person! (Please Collect and Recommend)
"Ouch!" Lei Jiayin rolled on the ground before coming to a stop.
Actually, neither of those two hits was heavy or painful, but while the damage was negligible, the insult was significant.
Lei Jiayin shook his head, stood up, and immediately roared: "Damn it, what the hell are you doing?"
"Cut!" The assistant director's shout came a few seconds late: "What's going on?"
"We were acting well, why did you suddenly start fighting?"
"I don't know, this old woman is going crazy!" Lei Jiayin pouted, saying very displeasedly.
Facing the assistant director's question, Li Caihua rubbed her arm and cried out: "He has too much strength, it hurt me!"
The assistant director was speechless; just that?
"What the hell is 'hurt'?" Lei Jiayin shouted: "I didn't even use any strength!"
"I think you did it on purpose!" Li Caihua stuck to her story.
Lei Jiayin immediately shook his shoulders, rolled up his sleeves, and sneered: "You know my strength is great, yet you still dare to be so arrogant?"
"Who gave you the courage?"
"Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!"
He hadn't indulged Li Caihua at all; she wasn't his girlfriend, nor was she his family, so why should he give her face?
This woman had made him unhappy three times already; he had long wanted to teach this woman a lesson.
Don't talk about Northeast men not hitting women; in that corner of the Northeast, even if you want to hit, you might not even be able to win!
Seeing Lei Jiayin's appearance, Li Caihua's face changed, her beautiful features losing their color.
Lei Jiayin's head was thicker than her waist; if they really fought, it would be trouble.
She quickly looked at Beside Qi Hui Hui, her eyes somewhat aggrieved, trying to get help from him.
Beside Qi Hui Hui wasn't strong, but his combat record was verifiable; he had once slapped Lei Jiayin.
Beside Qi Hui Hui rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention.
Usually you wear a cold face, but when trouble arises, you want me to help?
"Enough!" The assistant director shouted: "Doctor, come check her!"
Lei Jiayin pouted, put away his fighting stance; he was just bluffing this woman anyway.
Soon, the doctor arrived, checked her, and found no problems.
However, Li Caihua kept crying out that it hurt.
"Can you still act?" The assistant director looked at her and asked.
There were only one or two shots left; if you can't act, withdraw, and we'll find a time to reshoot.
Li Caihua pressed her lips together, suddenly realizing her Hong Kong identity received no special treatment.
In the past, no matter who in the mainland knew she was from Hong Kong, they would look at her with higher regard; even without substantial special treatment, their attitude would become very good.
But at this moment, she found it was not like that at all.
Times have changed... Li Caihua sighed in her heart; the glorious era of Hong Kong actors on the mainland seemed to have passed.
Now she could certainly say she couldn't act, but what about later?
Li Caihua looked at Beside Qi Hui Hui; if he could help by saying a word, she wouldn't be in such an awkward situation now.
Beside Qi Hui Hui raised an eyebrow; why are you looking at me?
Does this woman hold a grudge against me?
"... I can act, let's continue." Li Caihua took a deep breath and slowly stood up.
The assistant director looked at her, somewhat surprised; he thought this woman would continue to cause trouble.
"Old Lei, any problems?"
"No problems." Lei Jiayin yawned and said.
"Alright, you two gather your thoughts; start in three minutes." The assistant director looked at his watch and shouted:
"Makeup artist? Please help Old Lei touch up his makeup."
Lei Jiayin's head was too big; the large range of motion just now had smudged his makeup.
Soon, time passed in a flash.
"Actors to position, cameras ready!" The assistant director held a megaphone and shouted: "3, 2, 1, action!"
Lin Yide, played by Lei Jiayin, lay fallen by the door; with his makeup touched up, his face was flushed red: "Ellie... open the door, Ellie, open the door..."
Li Caihua walked into the frame from off-camera, wearing a face of disgust and coldness, and kicked Lei Jiayin: "Get up... hey, get up!"
"Cut!" The assistant director suddenly shouted.
Li Caihua and Lei Jiayin stopped, instinctively looking at him.
"Caihua, your strength was a bit low." The assistant director shouted: "You need to kick out that disgust; your previous take was very good."
"Follow that one."
Li Caihua had overcorrected a bit; now she didn't dare to use force, which was a good thing.
But for the filming effect, it was not a good thing.
That previous look was exactly Ellie walking into reality; that was truly great!
Lei Jiayin pouted; those two kicks in the previous take had mixed in some personal emotions.
Sigh... it's me who has to suffer and work hard again.
Behind the monitor, Beside Qi Hui Hui also glanced at the assistant director.
The assistant director felt a bit embarrassed; he knew the previous take had a small problem, but wasn't the effect very good?
Li Caihua looked at the assistant director in surprise, then Hua Xuanji took a deep breath; if you want to talk about this, I'm not sleepy anymore!
"Director, I'm ready."
"Good!" the executive director shouted, "Action!"
Li Caihua walked into the frame, looked at Lin Yide drunk at the doorway, and kicked him disdainfully: "Get up... hey, get up!"
Saying this, she kicked him two more times.
Lin Yide's body on the ground swayed, showing little reaction.
The executive director's face broke into a smile; this was more like it!
"Beside Qi Hui Hui, get ready, the next shot has you in it."
"Understood." Beside Qi Hui Hui nodded, carrying a small gift bag, and smoothed out his wine-red suit shirt.
In the shot, Lin Yide staggered to his feet and suddenly embraced Ai Li, who was on the phone.
"Ah... let go of me!"
"I won't let go, Ai Li, unless you marry me..."
Just as the two were entangled, a ding~ sound rang out, and the elevator doors opened.
Hong Shixian, played by Beside Qi Hui Hui, walked out of the elevator carrying a small gift bag.
Seeing this scene, he remained expressionless, simply dropped the gift bag in his hand, turned around, and left.
"Shixian!"
Ai Li screamed, quickly breaking free from Lin Yide and chasing after him: "Listen to my explanation."
Beside Qi Hui Hui remained expressionless, slowly backed into the elevator, pressed the button to close the doors, and left.
Leaving Ai Li outside the door, constantly pounding on the elevator doors.
"Very good, cut!" the executive director shouted excitedly; he had always been a co-director, and while he had directed independently before, every time brought him immense satisfaction.
On the set, Beside Qi Hui Hui and the other two breathed a sigh of relief; it was over.
"Alright, everyone pack up, we're done for the day."
"Finally finished." Lei Jiayin felt a weight lifted.
"Heh, we have to continue tomorrow." Beside Qi Hui Hui directly shattered his illusion.
"... Shut up!" Lei Jiayin's face turned black.
While talking, the two returned to the hotel together.
As for Ai Li... Li Caihua had already gone back earlier.
"Hey... why does that woman always pick on me?" Lei Jiayin asked, very annoyed.
"Maybe she's taken a liking to you; love deeply, blame severely." Beside Qi Hui Hui laughed, took out a cigarette, and lit it.
"Get lost!" Lei Da's head turned black, and he reached out to grab one too.
Recently, he had been mooching cigarettes and food off Beside Qi Hui Hui, almost recouping the cost of that piece of deer antler.
Anyway, Beside Qi Hui Hui was single; one person full, the whole family not hungry; no reason not to mooch.
But he was different; he was very poor, not only did he have a partner to support, but his career development was also not as good as Beside Qi Hui Hui's.
Hua Xuanji's eyes rolled, and he chuckled: "My scenes with her are almost done; next it's your turn."
"Heh, you're in for a rough time."
Hearing this, Beside Qi Hui Hui couldn't help but feel a toothache and instinctively took a drag of his cigarette.
That woman doesn't seem like a good person!
