Wen Yi smiled and said, "Sister Manqing is joking. Who can stop Sister Manqing from doing whatever she wants?"
Wen Yi stopped and turned to look at Lin Manqing. "I just want to remind you, Sister Manqing, the director of the 'Sword and Qin' crew is known for scrutinizing the realism of the shots. You'd better do your best. If you don't hit hard enough, it won't just be the fans who are dissatisfied, it will be the director's crew who will question your skills."
Lin Manqing raised an eyebrow and stared at Wen Yi meaningfully.
She understood the underlying meaning in Wen Yi's words.
Wen Yi wanted her to hit Wen Ge without any scruples, and even to hit her hard.
Lin Manqing always found Wen Yi very interesting.
From the moment Wen Ge offended her, and then the boss of ES personally called to mediate the matter, Lin Manqing had been full of curiosity about Wen Yi.
So much so that when filming of "The Sword and the Qin" officially began, Lin Manqing did not see Wen Yi by Wen Ge's side and showed a very regretful state of mind.
Later, many people targeted Wen Ge, pushing her to the brink of despair time and time again. Lin Manqing also had her own selfish motives.
They wanted to force Wen Yi to come out.
She had a great deal of curiosity and interest in Wen Yi, this woman.
For example, right now.
Lin Manqing found Wen Yiyi's appearance very interesting.
While Lin Manqing was thinking about these things, Wen Yi had already walked towards the director's team.
The chief director, Tan Ke, is a middle-aged man in his fifties. He is unkempt, with messy hair and white hair and beard everywhere, but he doesn't care. He just stands in front of the camera to observe the details and make sure that everything is perfect once filming starts.
"Director Tan Ke," Wen Yi called out.
The interviewer glanced at the scene, gave a gesture, and had someone place Wen Yi with the director's team, while also adding a seat for Wen Yi next to them.
Wen Yi sat down next to the director, and the staff around her who had never seen Wen Yi before were very curious about her and whispered among themselves.
Wen heard some random things, but ignored them.
"In this scene, He Chaoyue is supposed to hit Lan Bing. I've already told Manqing's people not to hit her too hard, otherwise it will be hard to explain He Chaoyue's character later." Tan Ke explained the scene to Wen Yi with his head down.
Wen Yi shook his head at this, saying, "In this scene, He Chaoyue has to beat Lan Bing hard, and it has to rain."
The guest stared at Wen Yi with incomprehension.
Wen Yi explained, "Lan Bing was originally a carefree young lady from a prestigious family, but her parents died tragically in a sudden tragedy. The only place she could find information about her parents' deaths was in the He family, so naturally she wanted to find out more. However, the eldest daughter of the He family, due to personal grudges, prevented Lan Bing from seeing her parents and even beat her half to death. At this time, Lan Bing, still attached to her parents and even proud of her status as the eldest daughter, set aside her dignity for the only time and begged He Chaoyue to see her parents..."
"good!"
Before Wen could finish speaking, Tan Ke already understood the key point of the scene and its role in connecting the preceding and following parts, and his eyes lit up.
"After this scene, Lan Bing's character is completely established," the commentator couldn't help but say. "She's truly talented, no wonder she's..."
Wen gave the talker a look, and the talker immediately made a shushing gesture.
He then gave instructions to his assistant, "Tell Manqing's people that this scene is going to be a fight, a fight to the death, and I want it to be a one-shot sequence."
"Also, arrange for artificial rainmaking to be prepared."
The director gave the instructions, and the assistant immediately carried them out.
Ten minutes later, all the actors were in place.
Wen Ge was most afraid of this scene. She had been pampered and adored since childhood and could not bear any hardship or pain.
But she believed in Wen Yi.
Since Wen Yi had already made all the arrangements, she didn't believe that Lin Manqing would actually beat her half to death in front of these fans.
Thinking about all this, Wen Ge became fully immersed in the role. With less fear, she was able to get into character very quickly.
Standing opposite Wen Ge, Lin Manqing thought about the message that the director's assistant had just delivered to her assistant, and she wanted to sneer.
As the script supervisor slammed the clapperboard, Lin Manqing swung her whip, which cracked loudly in the air—quite frightening.
"court death!"
As He Chaoyue's arrogant sneer fell, the whip mercilessly lashed out at Lan Bing's body. Lan Bing was caught off guard, and for a few seconds she was stunned when the whip struck her.
Then He Chaoyue's second and third lashes fell in succession.
Lan Bing's expression changed drastically, with pain, incomprehension, and other emotions creeping onto her face.
Lan Bing tried to escape, but He Chaoyue kicked her to the ground and mercilessly lashed her body with his whip. Lan Bing struggled and cried for help.
The director watched from behind the camera and kept praising it.
"This Lan Bing can finally get into character. Look at the disbelief when he was being whipped, and the way he immediately turned around to find He Chaoyue's parents, not having time to deal with He Chaoyue... It's amazing. This scene is the best scene ever."
The director praised him repeatedly.
He Chaoyue continued to whip Lan Bing, who almost broke down in tears. The innocent and resentful feeling conveyed when the camera zoomed in on her face was perfectly portrayed.
The production team gave the order to immediately start artificial rain.
Lan Bing was already covered in whip marks, and the rain falling on her wounds made her even more devastated and desperate.
The director stood up and silently applauded.
I'm so excited!
Wen Yi sat to the side and watched coldly the whole time.
He Chaoyue hit her harder and harder until Lan Bing couldn't take it anymore and grabbed He Chaoyue's trouser leg, her eyes full of pleading. However, He Chaoyue only looked down at her with an arrogant gaze.
"Click! Click! Click!"
The director shouted wildly, "Perfect, absolutely perfect!"
As soon as the director made the decision, Lin Manqing's team rushed over, draped a bath towel over her, and took her away.
Xia Xiaomeng reacted a beat late before rushing over with a towel, "Wen Ge, Wen Ge, are you alright?"
When Xia Xiaomeng arrived, Wen Ge was already unconscious.
The director was excitedly rewatching what he considered a perfect scene when Xia Xiaomeng started screaming like a pig being slaughtered, forcing the director to take notice.
"What's going on? Assistant, go check it out?" Tan Ke sent his assistant over.
Wen wanted to leave, but Tan Ke stopped her, saying, "Don't go, you have to come with me and take a look."
"Director, Wen Ge had no protection whatsoever; she was genuinely hit in this fight."
The assistant ran back to report the situation: "Wen Ge has fainted."
The interviewer paused for a few seconds, then exclaimed, "This actress has completely changed my impression of her. I thought she was just a pretty face, but she's really going all out to achieve the desired effect."
"What a respectable actor."
The chief director sighed, and couldn't help but feel even more admiration for Wen Ge.
"So, now... what should we do about the female lead? Her injuries are quite serious," the assistant reminded her.
"Isn't there a doctor on set? Go check on them. If you can get there, send them to the hospital later. The next few scenes are very important, we can't delay any longer." The director still felt that the overall situation should be the priority.
After all, there are still many dedicated actors nowadays. Hundreds of people in the crew are waiting for a scene, and they will usually endure the pain and finish the scene even if they are injured.
He believes that the dedicated actress, who went to the scene without protective gear and actually suffered the whipping injury in pursuit of a realistic shot, will definitely wait until the rest of the filming is finished before going to the hospital!
