"Good!"
"Cut!"
Xin Shuang watched with satisfaction and called cut.
Especially seeing Su Han, he clapped repeatedly, his face full of smiles.
"Excellent!"
"Very excellent!"
"Teacher Su Han, your performance is really good!"
As a new director, Xin Shuang was very polite and courteous in his speech.
Being praised to such an extent made Su Han feel a bit embarrassed.
"No, no."
The next scene to be performed was Zhang Dongsheng being slapped by his wife.
Zhang Dongsheng was a character who was outwardly weak but had been suppressing himself all along, and was also very much a pushover.
Su Han did a brief run-through with the actress.
As soon as the actress saw Su Han, she smiled radiantly, her eyes full of admiration.
Su Han was truly inspirational, and it was this kind of inspirational role that had made him a role model in the hearts of many.
"Hello, Teacher Su Han!"
"I've liked you for a long time!"
"I never expected to have the opportunity to collaborate with you today!"
"It's just that later, when we're acting, there's a scene where I have to slap your face. Please bear with me."
The actress started by expressing her admiration for Su Han in various ways.
"It's alright, it's alright. Just go with your feelings."
"It's all for the sake of achieving better performance effects. I won't mind."
"Okay, okay!"
"Thank you, Teacher Su Han!"
"If the two teachers are ready, shall we begin filming?" the director asked.
"Yes!"
"Let's start filming!"
All the crew members had completed their preparations.
Filming commenced officially.
Right from the start, the actress's eyes welled up with tears.
Tears streamed down her face several times. The actress looked particularly sad, glaring at Su Han with resentment.
Su Han: "I'm sorry."
"Slap~"
The actress slapped Su Han...
...
"Cut!"
The director called cut.
Su Han looked at Xin Shuang.
"Director, what's wrong?"
"Is something amiss?"
"No, Teacher Su Han, you're perfectly fine."
"The issue is on this side."
"It's with the actress. Teacher, your slap was too light. It would be better if you put a bit more force into it."
The actress looked at the director with slight surprise.
"Ah, is it me?"
"Was my movement too light?"
"I'm a bit hesitant to use too much force. I'm worried..."
The actress was clearly concerned that if she slapped Su Han hard, it might hurt him.
Su Han understood what was going on.
He immediately spoke up.
"It's alright, just put in your effort, don't worry. And don't worry about hurting me, it's all fine."
"Just slap my face with all your might. That way, I can give a corresponding better performance based on the acting you provide."
Su Han said this to the actress.
The actress listened and seemed to understand.
But after thinking it over, she still had some reservations.
"Teacher Su Han, can I really hit you?"
"Yes, just do it for real, don't fake it. Acting cannot be fake; if it's fake, you really won't be able to get into the emotions."
Su Han repeated several times for her not to fake it, and to just do it for real.
The actress listened and nodded.
"Then I think I understand."
Filming continued.
The actress immediately slapped Su Han.
"Slap!"
"Slap!"
"Slap!"
The actress ruthlessly slapped Su Han across the face, again and again. Su Han kept his head down the entire time, his gaze fixed on the ground, never looking up.
Each slap landed with a resonant sound, and Su Han's face quickly became red.
The crew members all witnessed this scene.
They had initially thought that Su Han's acting talent was innate and envied him, envied that he was naturally suited for this profession.
But now, seeing Su Han cooperating with the actress, and being genuinely slapped on the face, they felt quite distressed.
They saw that Su Han not only had acting talent but also the professionalism of an actor.
Usually, actors of Su Han's caliber would use a stunt double for scenes involving being slapped.
But Su Han did not use a stunt double; instead, he asked the actress to hit him seriously and not to hold back her slaps.
