Song Heng thought that this was a good one. The actresses’ emotions were on point, and Su Qianrou naturally revealed the kind of shock and confusion that one would feel after being hit.

This was the effect of a real slap.

It could have been done, but because of Ning Lihua’s interruption, the part where Su Qianrou was slapped had to be re-filmed.

Su Qianrou had never been slapped by anyone in her life.

At this moment, tears of humiliation were welling up in her eyes, and the pain on her cheek made her even more indignant and angry.

At that moment, she wanted to quit the job, but when she thought about how she had already been slapped, it would not be worth it if she lost the role too!

She had nowhere to vent her anger, so she turned around and yelled at Ning Lihua, “mom, what are you doing? I’ll have to film it again if you keep doing this!”

Ning Lihua was stunned. She wanted to call Song Heng over and ask him if this was the “important scene” that he was talking about.

However, all the staff members were looking at her.

“Madam, please don’t disturb the filming. You’ll be asked to leave by the crew,” Chen Jing said anxiously.

Ning Lihua clenched her fists tightly. She was so angry that her throat was about to smoke.

She could only watch as her daughter was slapped again!

Her heart ached, and she felt embarrassed!

This was not the end. Since Su Qanrou had felt the first slap, she would subconsciously dodge the second time, which led to a bad take.

In the end, they had to shoot a few more times in a row. By the time the entire scene was done, her face was already swollen.

Yu Ling was not joking when she said she was strong.

When she was young, she helped her family with farm work every day. Among all the children in the village, she was the most capable, and she could dig faster than the farm dog.

Not only did she have a pair of big hands, but she also looked like she was in her forties even though she was in her thirties. Her eyes were cloudy, and she was born with a fierce look.

When she hit someone, the subject would feel it physically and emotionally.

In reality, Yu Ling was a very good person. It was just that her appearance was too deceptive. Even Hao Gou didn’t dare to make fun of her on the first day they met.

That was why, even after acting for ten years, she always had a supporting role.

Su Ji believed that it was because she had not found a role like this.

Now, Yu Ling’s chance had come!

In fact, Song Heng was not completely satisfied with the last slap scene, but Su Qianrou’s face was too swollen.

It didn’t affect anything else, but it was obvious on screen

Those who didn’t know better would think that she was a double.

When Song Heng finally shouted “cut”, Ning Lihua pushed Chen Jing, “why are you standing here? Quickly go and check on her!”

Chen Jing staggered after being pushed. Her expression did not look good, but she still took an ointment and went to Su Qianrou.

Check on her?

She was her manager, not her servant!

Su Ji’s lines at the beginning were perfect and she was full of emotions. Even Song Heng could not find any fault with it. When Su Qianrou did a bad take at the end, she did not have to reshoot. She sat by the side and watched leisurely, criticizing and admiring from an artistic point of view.

When it was over, she asked Yu Ling with concern, “is your hand okay?”

Yu Ling rubbed her wrist, “it’s a bit sore, but it’s okay. I’ll just apply some safflower oil when I get back.”

Su Ji took out a small bottle of ointment from her bag, “this is better than that.”

Yu Ling had long heard that Su Ji had some medical skills, but she didn’t expect to see it on the first day of work. She picked it up and looked at it in surprise, “thank you so much.”

Because of Su Qianrou, the crew had to redo the work many times, and the shooting progress was greatly delayed.

It was true that her face hurt, but it was also true that Yu Ling’s hand was sore.

Su Ji had noticed it when they were filming just now, that’s why she asked.

However, when Ning Lihua heard their conversation, she felt as if they were purposely saying it in front of her!

They were trying to provoke her!

In addition, her friends were discussing it in the group.

[ “Oh my, it hurts just by looking at it. Rou Rou can really take the pain!” ]

[ “If it were me, I wouldn’t have let my daughter take on such a role. Lihua is amazing.” ]

[ “The character beside her is Su Ji, right? She’s quite good…” ]

Ning Lihua was furious. Su Ji’s role was good and she had a lot of lines, but her daughter had so few lines. And her most important scene was a slap?

She called out to Su Ji, who was about to leave, “Su Ji! Stop right there!”

Su Ji slowly turned around, crossed her arms, and lazily leaned against the pillar, “what is it? Speak.”

Yu Ling saw that something was wrong and was afraid that Su Ji would be at a disadvantage. She wanted to go forward and dissuade her, but was stopped by Su Ji, “it’s okay, just watch from the side to learn more.”

“…okay.”

Ning Lihua did not understand what they were talking about. She was so angry that she had lost her mind. She pointed at Su Ji and scolded, “Su Ji! You’re really vicious! What did your sister do to you? Yesterday, you used some fancy Huajin script, and today, you’re bullying my daughter!”

The staff slowed down and listened to the commotion.

Su Qianrou saw that Ning Lihua had stood up for her and all the grievances she suffered showed on her face. Song Heng’s heart ached for her.

Su Ji laughed, “what? She was the one who wanted the slapping scene and she was the one who posted the paper online. Why are you blaming me now that she’s in trouble?”

After seeing the photo of the original owner’s mother, it was obvious that she could no longer be patient with her stepmother, Ning Lihua.

Seeing that Su Ji wouldn’t be bullied, Yu Ling was relieved.

She started to take notes seriously.

Wonderful!

No wonder people said that art originated from life. She was a true evil stepmother!

She was vicious from head to toe!

Ning Lihua almost roared, “how eloquent! Fine! Even if my daughter was the one who wanted to get slapped, what’s with the Huajin script? Don’t think I don’t know what’s going on! I heard the staff members’ discussion when I came. It was all your agency’s doing! There’s no Professor Zhu!”

Su Ji glanced at the staff members beside her.

The group of people who were eavesdropping immediately moved and quickly fled the scene.

“How do you know that there’s no Professor Zhu in A University?”

“Can you show me any evidence? How can you prove that Professor Zhu is from A University?”

As the two of them were talking, an old and excited voice came from behind them, “hello, I’m Professor Zhu from A University. I’m looking for…Su Ji. Is she filming here?”
