The real big guys are those with connections in the eyes of the system!

"There is a dilapidated temple here, my mother must be inside. Mother...Shen Qingyi? Why are you here?" Shi Wanwan quickly got into the role, saying the lines she had memorized long ago, looking at Yiqing with some surprise.

"I'm waiting for you." She smiled, but her eyes were cold.

The white fingers were still playing with a bloody dagger. The cold light reflected from the blade occasionally entered the eyes, making people feel inexplicably uneasy.

"You..." Shi Wanwan was about to speak, but Yiqing suddenly looked up at her.

There was undisguised malice in those dark eyes, which was eerie and terrifying.

Shi Wanwan's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat and the hairs on her body stood up. She felt as if she was being stared at by a ferocious beast. If she moved even the slightest, she would be covered in blood.

The following words were all stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter another word.

"Crack!"

Yiqing slowly withdrew her gaze, but Shi Wanwan was still unable to recover from her shock for a while.

The director had already rushed over to Shi Wanwan in a rage, and he started to scold her, "Shi Wanwan, what's wrong with you? It's rare that Xiao Qi didn't let you down, and you also controlled the dark emotions well. It was such a good scene, why did you make such a low-level mistake as forgetting the lines?"

"I do not……"

"I don't want to hear the explanation!" The director interrupted her, "I'll give you five minutes to recite the lines. Do it again in five minutes!"

After saying this, he turned around and looked at Yiqing without waiting for Shi Wanwan's reaction.

When he spoke, his tone was infinitely gentler than when he spoke to her just now. "Xiao Qi, you performed very well just now. Can you keep it up? Perform like this again in five minutes, is that ok?"

"no problem."

When the director heard the affirmative answer, his expression became even kinder.

Such differential treatment made Shi Wanwan feel extremely embarrassed.

She clenched her fists tightly, her fingertips digging into her palms.

She couldn't understand why she was the one who wanted to overshadow Qi Yueyin's performance just now, when she was overshadowed by her just now?

When did Qi Yueyin’s acting skills become so good?

Reluctance filled her heart, "Director, it won't take five minutes. We can reshoot it now."

"Are the lines ok?"

"Yeah." Shi Wanwan nodded.

The director frowned, but remembering that her performance in the past few days was pretty good, he thought that she just made a mistake just now.

"Since you don't think you need to memorize your lines anymore, I won't force you." The director said, and then turned his attention to the others, "Everyone, get ready, take your positions, and do it again."

Second shooting started.

Yiqing and Shi Wanwan re-enacted the previous part.

Soon the plot point where Shi Wanwan was stuck came again. Just as Shi Wanwan was about to speak, Yiqing looked up at her again.

Shi Wanwan originally thought that she had adjusted her state and made sufficient mental preparations, and would definitely not make the same mistake again.

But when that oppressive and terrifying gaze fell on her again, she couldn't help but stiffen her body.

Even though her mind was screaming at her to speak, she couldn't utter a single word as her lips opened and closed.

"Shi Wanwan, is this what you mean by ready?" came the director's angry voice.

The heart-pounding feeling of oppression disappeared.

But Shi Wanwan's face was still pale.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be unable to cope with the situation." Yiqing said in a low voice, "If it really doesn't work, I will control myself from now on and try not to use my full strength."

Shi Wanwan immediately clenched her fists.

She felt that Yiqing was mocking her.

But when she looked up, there was no mockery on the face of the person in front of her. In fact, his overly calm expression made what she had just said seem somewhat sincere.

Shi Wanwan wasn't sure what she was thinking, but her pride made her turn her head away and refuse firmly, "No need."

If she needs to rely on others to help her continue acting today, wouldn't that be equivalent to her actively admitting that her skills are not as good as others?

If the person in front of her is a senior in the circle, it is not impossible for her to bow her head and admit defeat.

But the person in front of him is Qi Yueyin!

She is a famous "vase beauty" in the circle!

If I can't even beat her, then I'll be really embarrassed today.

"Shi Wanwan, what's going on with you today?"

"I'm sorry, Director." Shi Wanwan lowered her eyes to hide a complicated expression, "I may need some time to adjust."

The director was very angry. "I just gave you some time to prepare, but you said you didn't need it. Why are you doing this to me now?"

Shi Wanwan's assistant immediately ran over to apologize on her behalf, "I'm so sorry for wasting everyone's time. But Sister Wanwan really didn't mean it. She just caught a slight cold after falling into the water yesterday, so she's not in a very good mental state today."

Hearing the word "fall into the water", the director also remembered what happened yesterday and subconsciously turned his head to look at the expression on Yiqing's face - no guilt, no regret, and no remorse.

He vaguely sensed that there was something subtle about the relationship between the two actors.

As a director, he only cares about whether the film he makes is good or not, and does not want to get involved in other people's conflicts.

After thinking about it, he just pretended that he didn't notice anything.

"Okay, I won't make it difficult for you. Let's take a break from your scenes today and shoot a few other scenes first." The director sighed helplessly and said to Shi Wanwan, "Have a good rest. I hope this won't happen again tomorrow!"

"Okay...thank you, director."

This time, Shi Wanwan didn't dare to show off her strength again.

Her assistant immediately supported her and said with concern: "Sister, go take some medicine first. Before, you were worried that you would feel sleepy after taking the medicine and that it would affect the shooting effect. Now you don't have such concerns, right?"

Shi Wanwan said nothing.

Because the director was talking to Qi Yueyin, her attention was all on their conversation, so she had no idea what the assistant was saying.

"Xiao Qi, you performed very well today. I hope you can keep it up."

"Don't worry, Director. I will."

"I think we can move up your scenes today so we can focus on filming. You can't waste this good condition!"

"can."

Shi Wanwan was a little dazed.

The assistant pulled her but failed.

She turned around in a somewhat strange manner, and then said with concern: "Sister, you look really bad, how about we go back to the hotel first? I think you need to rest."

Shi Wanwan shook her head, "I want to stay and try to get the feeling of the scene just now."

"Sister, you're working too hard." The assistant looked at her disapprovingly, "Your health is more important."

But she also knew in her heart that with Sister Wanwan's personality, once she made a decision, no matter how others advised her, it would be useless.

"Then I'll go make you some cold medicine."

Shi Wanwan shook her head again, her tone was firm, "Don't take the medicine now, wait until you get back."

She felt sleepy after taking the medicine, and she wanted to figure out whether she was in a bad state today or Qi Yueyin's acting skills had really improved.

Didn’t the director say that he would focus on filming Qi Yueyin’s scenes next?

Then she'll stay here and take a good look!
