My Hidden Wife is Sweet

Chapter 177: Everything Alright? 2

Li Xing’er was feeling very uncomfortable, because she was being scolded in front of the fans and the visiting media. However, despite this, she still said, with a pretentious smile, “Sorry, Director Yi, I was distracted.”

Yi An sat down with an unhappy face and said through the loudspeaker.

“Get back onto the rooftop, Tang Shaoqi, let’s take one more shot.”

She had not followed the script, and if Mu Weiwei had not withdrawn her sword, the sword would have come right at her.

Gu Weiwei had to get back onto the rooftop with the wire and then waited for the director’s order.

Then she brought herself into character and flew down to Lin Qingxue again.

Lin Qingxue came out of the fake rockery and encountered that pair of eyes again, which were full of lethality and pressure.

She was frightened and out of fear, she retreated, forgetting what she ought to have done.

“Cut!” Yi An shouted and his expression looked even worse.

“What the hell are you doing, Lin Qingxue?”

“You are facing Tang Shaoqi; you mustn’t show fear, only calmness. What are you doing standing there, like a dumb piece of wood?!”

Li Xing’er wasn’t comfortable either. For some reason, when she saw Mu Weiwei coming down from the rooftop, with lethality in her eyes, she felt as if she had been possessed.

So much so that she could not control her own fear or bring herself into character to act accordingly.

She even felt that Mu Weiwei was out to kill her too.

The director gritted his teeth and ordered a retake to each department.

Gu Weiwei sighed and went up to the rooftop to go again for another take.

Expectedly, the take failed again.

Yi An’s face sank and he almost smashed the things in his hands.

“Li Xing’er, what were you doing these last few days when I asked you to prepare for this scene?”

“I even told you how to act out the scene! So what in the hell have you been doing?”

...

Li Xing’er’s fans did not dare utter a single word after their own idol failed so many takes and was criticized by the director repeatedly.

At this moment, Ji Cheng and Luo Qianqian, who had been so worried, glanced at Li Xing’er’s fans who were concerned about her and sneered loudly.

“Oh is she really a skillful person? Someone so terrible at acting.”

Ji Cheng and Luo Qianqian came to the set with Fu Shiyi’s fans, and after seeing the lead female role fail three takes, they started to suspect the authenticity of Li Xing’er’s acting skills.

“Those who act in TV-series cannot necessarily act in movies.”

“Always making up stories about how excellent she is at acting but now I’m wondering if she has been slapped hard across the face.”

“My heart aches for the Third Master who has to deal with such a person.”

“Also, have you noticed that the director never complains about Tang Shaoqi.”

“My friend’s sister who is working in the crew says that Tang Shaoqi always passes the shoot in one take and she only fails the take because of her partners.”

“That is ridiculous, Li Xing’er has been in the industry for a whole year and she has done two TV-series, how is it that she is not even as excellent as a newcomer?”

“She is gifted, and the director doesn’t tell her what to do because she is skilled enough to not cause the director any trouble.”

“Third Master signed her, so she can’t be bad at acting. I am going to become her fan.”

....

After Li Xing’er’s fans heard Fu Shiyi’s fans sneering at their own idol and speaking up for Mu Weiwei, they became so annoyed. However, they did not dare to counter them because their own idol did fail multiple takes.

They had sneered that the supporting role was bad at acting and now the director had proved them wrong.
