After Ming Li finished her makeup, filming began quickly. It was still the same scene as yesterday, and Ming Li's acting was on point, so the scene was completed in one take.
The system was stunned. "No, Host, when did you learn to act? Is being this all-rounded really okay?"
For the subsequent scenes, Ming Li basically passed in one take, appearing as if she was just being herself. This made the director extremely happy.
Director Liu: "...He's struck gold this time!! No, he has to open two boxes of beer to celebrate when he gets back later! Hahaha!!"
Cut!
Alright, that's all for today's filming! The next scene involves a fight in the rain, and our props haven't arrived yet, so filming will commence in a week!
After Director Liu finished, he put down his personal megaphone.
Upon hearing this, Ming Li glanced around, but couldn't find A Zi.
When Ming Li went backstage to remove her makeup and change clothes, she found that A Zi was still not there. Ming Li frowned and walked towards one of the rooms. Before she could push the door open, she heard a "snap!"
Ming Li's eyes darkened, and she kicked the door fiercely.
With a "bang!", the door in front of Ming Li fell open, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The gazes of everyone inside the room turned towards the doorway. They saw a beauty like a painting, clad in blood-red attire, a woman in a red dress standing at the entrance, her face etched with frost.
Ming Li's cold gaze swept into the room. She saw A Zi, her eyes red, standing in front of a heavily made-up woman. A clear handprint was imprinted on her fair little face, obviously inflicted by the woman sitting at the vanity table. The woman at the vanity table was none other than Shangguan Qing, the second female lead of this drama.
Seeing the slap mark on A Zi's face, Ming Li's eyes darkened.
In an instant, the temperature in the entire room dropped several degrees.
When the woman at the vanity table saw Ming Li standing at the door, she subconsciously lowered her hand, which she had raised again.
Ming Li walked towards A Zi step by step with a blank expression, the aura around her frighteningly low. Everyone present felt it.
Ming Li reached A Zi and slowly raised her hand to touch her face, incredibly gentle. However, this gentleness lasted less than two seconds.
Because in the next moment, a crisp slapping sound echoed through the air.
*Slap!* Everyone present looked in the direction of the sound. They saw Shangguan Qing, who was seated at the vanity table, her head tilted to one side. On the side of her face, which was covered in expensive makeup, there were now five clear red handprints.
Not long after, that side of her face swelled up high.
Shangguan Qing, still seated on the chair, was stunned for a long moment before she reacted. Then, she let out a piercing shriek, her voice cracking.
Ahhhh!!! Shangguan Qing clutched her swollen face with one hand, pointed at Ming Li with the other, and said angrily, "Wen Ming Li! How dare you!! Do you know who I am!"
Ming Li responded with a faint "Oh," and asked, "Are you a high-ranking figure in the country, or a renowned movie queen in the industry?"
Shangguan Qing: "...She was so angry that smoke was about to come out of her head."
"I! You!"
Ming Li's voice remained calm: "Since you are neither, please don't put on airs as if you are someone important. Do you think you can get away with anything?"
Shangguan Qing: "...Believe it or not, she's really about to erupt!!!"
Remembering something, Shangguan Qing suddenly raised her chin, her eyes not looking like eyes and her nose not like a nose as she said to Ming Li, "Do you believe I'll have my father withdraw his investment in this drama right now? Then we'll see how you continue filming!!"
After speaking, Shangguan Qing looked at Ming Li triumphantly.
