Chapter 198: Scolding (2)
After they failed consecutively for a few times, Director Zhou Tongguang was speechless. But if they continued, he couldn’t promise that Chen Yan could perform until the end. Thus, he announced a temporary break from the filming and that they would continue after a five minute break.
“Thank you, director.” Chen Yan thanked him.
Su Yaya held in her happiness and said in concern, “Sister Yan, you should hurry and rest.”
Chen Yan glared at her, the warning clear as day. She’d remember this.
Watching as Chen Yan left, lifting her palace clothes, Su Yaya proudly curled the corner of her lips. Heh. She wasn’t scared of her!
Xu Chengkun, acting as the Emperor, stood by the side. He personally watched Su Yaya and Chen Yan’s communication and how their gazes shot daggers at each other. Smell of gunpowder filled the air.
He was an actor, so he knew clearly about the little tricks between them. When he saw Su Yaya purposely walking over to block Chen Yan’s camera shot, he already detected that the two had issues.
After that, Su Yaya completed her shots greatly while Chen Yan’s emotions were influenced. The more she filmed, the more mistakes she made. He knew that he hadn’t guessed wrong by then.
Chen Yan left at this time. Xu Chengkun glanced at Su Yaya and because the two had experienced a life or death situation together, they seemed to be closer than the others. He asked, “What happened between you and Chen Yan?”
Su Yaya pursed her lips at the direction Chen Yan left and then turned around to look at Xu Chengkun. She smiled and said, “You could tell?”
“It’s so obvious, so how couldn’t I tell?” Xu Chengkun replied.
Su Yaya shrugged her shoulders. She was very helpless too, ok? A grievance expression flickered past her face, but it was only for a moment before it quickly returned to normal. She said calmly, “She targeted me first.”
“What happened?” Xu Chengkun also started off as a newbie actor and he experienced a lot. He knew about seniors beating down newbies and them stealing camera shots as well as lines before. This seemed to have happened to Su Yaya.
Su Yaya pursed her lips. “When you weren’t here a few days ago, I was filming my scene with her. Who knew where I offended her, but she purposely stole my camera shot. She didn’t let me reveal my face in a few scenes. She blocked it all. But she was a senior, so I couldn’t say anything about it either. At most, my skills were inferior to hers. But since I realized this, there was no way I would allow her to continue to bully me. I needed to do something, otherwise I would be badly wronged.”
Xu Chengkun knew what Su Yaya was thinking. No matter who this happened to, they would be very upset. He had encountered this in the past before, but he didn’t have the confidence nor the courage to stand up against his seniors.
In the entertainment circle, this was actually a normal thing. However, for some people, if their faces weren’t revealed on camera, that was ok. After all, there were some scenes where the producer decided to cut it out because it wasn’t to their taste. It didn’t matter how good their acting skills were if the producer deemed it useless.
The majority of the newbies didn’t dare to do anything to the seniors, so they could only swallow this grievance. Even if they filmed a month’s worth of scenes and the producers only cut it down to a day’s worth of scenes, they could only swallow it whole and allow themselves to gradually grow. They were eager for the day that they wouldn’t be beaten down in the future.
Su Yaya knew that it was very difficult to s.n.a.t.c.h back the scenes that were taken away from her. This was because she had a talent in acting that she was able to retaliate. Of course, she had confidence too since she had Chen Xiuqi backing her up. But if it happened to someone else who was lacking in acting skills, they might not be able to retaliate like her. Although Su Yaya had done so directly, it’s not like there was no effect. At the very least, Chen Yan suffered.
Xu Chengkun said to Su Yaya, “Don’t place this in your heart. I believe that after today, she probably will hold back a bit. You just need to film your scenes and act out your role. Even more, you just need to try to do a better job than her.”
“I hope that’s the case.” Su Yaya smiled.
