Chapter 72 I'm going to beat you up today! You'd better take it.
In the abandoned small garden of the sanatorium, next to the makeshift pool.
The afternoon sun is scorching.
In the next scene, the heroine played by Lin Xiao discovers the betrayal of the supporting actor. In a fit of emotion, she slaps him and pushes him into the pool.
The actor acting opposite Lin Xiao is a young male actor who has just made his debut.
He knew that in this scene he would be slapped and fall into the water, and he also knew that the heroine opposite him was not someone to be trifled with.
Lin Xiao stood at the marked position, moving his wrists repeatedly, his knuckles cracking.
She looked at the young actor opposite her with undisguised malice in her eyes.
Under a parasol not far away, Mr. Zhong was leaning leisurely on a chair, holding a glass of iced drink, looking at this side with interest, obviously he stayed to watch this show on purpose.
Sister Chen stood beside him with a smile on her face.
"Action!" Su Yu shouted.
The actor tried hard to adjust his expression and recite his lines.
Lin Xiao took over, his emotions brewing.
We took two test takes. The young actor's nervousness was obvious, and the timing of the slap was always a little off.
Lin Xiao suddenly shouted irritably: "Cut!"
She didn't look at Su Yu, but turned directly to the direction of Mr. Zhong and Sister Chen, and said in a voice full of grievance and dissatisfaction: "No! This opposite actor can't give me any feeling at all! Emotion is so important in this scene, and he just stands there like a piece of wood, and I can't find the state!"
The young actor's face turned pale and he lowered his head, not daring to speak.
Lin Xiao changed the subject and looked directly at Gu Manman who was standing next to the monitor: "Writer Gu,"
She shouted loudly, "You understand this role best. How about you act with me? Help me find the feeling?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
The staff looked at each other.
Should the screenwriter personally come on stage to rehearse with the actors, especially scenes involving physical conflict?
This is clearly an attempt to make things difficult for others and an attempt to take revenge.
Su Yu exploded on the spot and stood up suddenly: "Lin Xiao, what do you mean?! Let the screenwriter rehearse for you? Are you crazy? If you want to rehearse, go find a professional actor! Is this what the screenwriter is here to do?!"
Lin Xiao immediately put on a tearful expression and looked at Mr. Zhong aggrievedly: "Mr. Zhong, you see... I just want to act well, but Director Su is so mean to me..."
Mr. Zhong put down his drink cup, frowned, and looked at Su Yu with a serious look.
Su Yu became furious when he looked at her.
Zhou Mubai stood by and didn't say a word from beginning to end.
He just glanced at Gu Manman with a trust that needed no words.
He didn't seem to worry at all that she would suffer.
To everyone's surprise, in the tense silence, Gu Manman's calm voice rang out: "Okay."
She put down the script in her hand and walked towards the position prepared for the male actor in front of the camera.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her.
She was wearing a simple white T-shirt and overalls, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, which formed a sharp contrast with Lin Xiao, who was wearing an exquisite costume and perfect makeup.
Gu Manman stood where the young actor had just stood, facing Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao looked at Gu Manman who came to him on her own initiative, his eyes flashing with excitement and viciousness, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
She couldn't wait to slap this woman hard in the face under the pretext of "acting" to avenge the red-braised pork on her face yesterday.
"Are you ready?" Su Yu's voice was a little dry. She glanced at Gu Manman, who gave her a reassuring look.
"Action!"
Lin Xiao quickly entered the "performance" state. After reciting the hateful line, resentment burst out from his eyes. He raised his arm, gathered all his strength, and slapped Gu Manman hard on the cheek!
The slap brought with it a sharp sound of wind.
When it was about to touch Gu Manman's cheek, Gu Manman raised her hand and accurately grabbed Lin Xiao's wrist!
The expected crisp slapping sound did not come.
Lin Xiao's wrist was held tightly by Gu Manman, and he couldn't move.
Gu Manman looked at Lin Xiao's face, which had changed from smug to astonished in an instant: "Lin Xiao, do you want to act or do you want to hit someone?"
"Gu Manman! You dare to stop me? You're looking for death! I'm going to beat you today! You'd better just bear with it!"
When Mr. Zhong received Lin Xiao's signal for help, his face turned completely gloomy.
He winked at the two bodyguards standing behind him and raised his chin slightly, signaling them to come forward to "help".
The two bodyguards immediately understood.
Just as the bodyguard took a step forward, Gu Manman's eyes suddenly became fierce!
She pushed Lin Xiao forward hard!
"ah--!"
Lin Xiao never expected that Gu Manman would dare to attack in front of Mr. Zhong, let alone that she was so strong. She lost her balance, let out a short scream, and fell backwards uncontrollably.
"Plop!" There was a loud noise.
Lin Xiao fell into the makeshift pool next to him, splashing huge, turbid water.
Amid everyone's astonished gazes, Gu Manman jumped into the pool without any hesitation.
"Splash——" Another loud sound of falling into the water.
The pool was not deep, the water surface probably just reached Gu Manman's chest, but the turbid water was enough to make it difficult for people to move.
Lin Xiao struggled in the water, screaming and cursing. Her makeup was washed away by the water, her eyeliner and mascara were smudged all over her face, and her hair stuck to her face. She looked like a water ghost.
Gu Manman grabbed Lin Xiao's wet hair, ignored her miserable struggle and cries, and pushed her head hard into the water!
"Ugh... Gululu... Let... Let me go..." Lin Xiao's screams turned into whimpers and bubbling sounds. She was choked and coughed violently. She waved her hands desperately in the water, trying to pry open Gu Manman's hands that were pressing on her head. However, she discovered in despair that the other person was incredibly strong and she couldn't break free at all.
Gu Manman's eyes were so cold that there was no warmth at all.
Showing weakness and giving in will only result in harder punches and deeper humiliation.
Only by completely scaring the other party at one time, until he is terrified to the core, can you gain a moment of peace.
Su Yu was the first to react.
She didn't rush over to break up the fight, but rushed to the pool and yelled at the two bodyguards who were stunned and stopped, as well as the staff on the shore who were equally stunned: "What are you looking at?! Are you blind?! Didn't you see the actor fell into the water?! Why don't you hurry up and save him?! If something happens, who the hell can take responsibility?!"
She shouted at the top of her lungs, deliberately making the situation more chaotic and stalling for time.
Zhou Mubai stood there without moving, his eyes fixed on Gu Manman, who was soaking wet and moving fiercely in the pool. The look behind the lenses was not only not shock, but full of appreciation and indulgence.
