"Teacher Su, Teacher Su, are you okay?"
In a daze, Su Yinyin felt her body shaking with nausea. She struggled to open her eyelids and saw a circle of staff surrounding her.
I don't know when I fainted.
[System: Your body is detected to be in a state of extreme fatigue. Do you want to spend one point to replenish energy?]
"Spend...shit" How can I just spend the points I have worked so hard to earn on something like this?
"Yinyin, can you still hold on? Do we need to call an ambulance?"
Gu Jiu walked over, his eyes showing a hint of worry behind his glasses.
Su Yinyin supported her head and took a deep breath.
"It's okay, I'll be fine after a rest."
"Director Gu, I think we should call a doctor. Look at how bad Teacher Su looks."
Someone beside him said to Gu Jiu, and Gu Jiu nodded.
"Yinyin, you should go see a doctor. Don't force yourself. We're almost done filming today."
There is another scene this afternoon, in which the heroine escapes and is caught and tied back again. As a punishment, she can only eat cold leftover leaves for several days in a row and is also required to serve the guests of the casino.
It was also the night when the heroine felt most humiliated and her self-esteem was shattered.
My current state, due to lack of sleep, is almost in a state of excitement, which is perfect for recreating that scene.
"Director, please continue. I can still hold on."
Gu Jiu looked at Su Yinyin with some hesitation, and asked softly, "Really?"
Su Yinyin nodded: "It's just one scene anyway, let's finish it quickly and call it a day. I don't want to waste everyone's time."
It was almost seven o'clock, and the staff present were visibly deflated, with their heads drooped.
At her strong request, Gu Jiu returned to the monitor and continued to organize the filming.
Perhaps because of their determination to get it right in one go, the filming of this scene went unexpectedly smoothly, and Su Yinyin's condition perfectly matched Gu Jiu's requirements for her.
Looking at the girl on the monitor who was hugging her knees and her shoulders trembling slightly under the dim light, the staff next to her were also immersed in this atmosphere for a moment.
It was as if the person sitting in front of them was not an actor, but a living character who had walked out of a movie.
Gu Jiu's click brought everyone back to reality. Su Yinyin took the paper handed to her by the staff next to her, wiped the tears from her face, and prepared to go back to the hotel to have dinner and rest.
Gu Jiu walked towards her and nodded, "Yinyin, you performed very well today. We don't have many scenes tonight, so we can shoot them another day. Go back and have a good rest."
"Director Gu, I'm fine. I just had a little low blood sugar. I'll be fine after eating something."
After saying that, she said goodbye and got in the car to go back to the hotel. Gu Jiu looked at her back and shook his head helplessly.
This was simply the most disregarding actress he had ever seen. Not only did she refuse to use a body double, she also forced herself to act even when her body couldn't take it anymore. The key point was that he was a director and he couldn't persuade her.

Su Yinyin packed up and prepared to go out when someone knocked on the door hurriedly. She was wondering who it was when Lu Jingxu's voice came from behind the door the next second.
"It's me, Lu Jingxu."
Su Yinyin was halfway up when he said that, but she suddenly didn't want to get up anymore. She simply pretended that there was no one in the room, fell back into the pillow and continued to browse her phone, waiting for the person behind the door to leave.
Seeing that the person inside did not respond, there was a rubbing sound outside the door, and then Su Yinyin vaguely heard a sentence:
"The person in the room is in danger...room card..."
She suddenly jumped up from the bed, picked up her bag, and rushed to open the door. She stared at Lu Jingxu, who was talking on the phone, for a few seconds before the man in front of her came back to his senses.
There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and his chest was slightly heaving. It was obvious that he had just rushed in from somewhere.
He turned to the phone and said, "Excuse me, no need."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at her, the anxiety in his eyes was particularly obvious.
"I heard from Gu Jiu that you fainted on the set just now. Are you still feeling unwell?"
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your concern. I'm fine now."
Lu Jingxu had gotten used to her indifferent way of speaking these past few days, but he would still pause for a moment every time he heard it.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Teacher Lu, please make way."
Only then did Lu Jingxu notice that when Su Yinyin opened the door, she was holding a bag, which contained the essential items she always brought with her to the set.
He paused, frowned, and said, "Are you going tonight?"
Su Yinyin nodded: "Yes, but doesn't Teacher Lu have his own things to do today? How come he has time to show up here now?"
"Your body is in this state, do you want to live?"
Su Yinyin smiled at her: "Thank you for your concern, Teacher Lu, but this is none of your business, right? If I remember correctly, we are just ordinary colleagues."
Lu Jingxu still stood in front stubbornly, showing no intention of giving in. Su Yinyin tried to anger him on purpose, but it didn't work at all.
"Su Yinyin, do you really have to talk to me like this?"
"How else can I speak, respected Senior Lu Jingxu..."
Su Yinyin asked in a sarcastic tone, which finally made Lu Jingxu laugh. He nodded and chuckled, "Okay."
"In that case—"
Just as she uttered four words, her body was suddenly lifted up by a pair of strong hands. Su Yinyin's legs lost weight and left the ground. She was startled by Lu Jingxu's sudden action.
She struggled hard and bit Lu Jingxu's shoulder hard.
Lu Jingxu hissed in pain and said through gritted teeth, "Su Yinyin, you're a dog, right?"
"Snake, be careful you might get poisoned to death by me. Let me down quickly."
However, the man under him completely ignored his resistance, threw him heavily onto the bed, and tied his feet up with the sheets and quilt.
Su Yinyin didn't just listen to him and let him torture her. She rolled and shook on the bed with all her might.
"What are you doing...pervert!!!"
Lu Jingxu grabbed her wrists and tied her hands together. Soon, Su Yinyin turned into a worm twisting and rolling on the bed.
"You stay here tonight and don't even think about going anywhere."
Lu Jingxu rubbed his shoulder, which was painful from her biting, and threatened Su Yinyin.
"Are you sick?"
She couldn't believe Lu Jingxu's crazy behavior just now. He actually tied herself up in the room to prevent her from going to film. He was simply a lunatic.
She stretched out her foot to kick the person in front of her, but was stopped by him with one hand. However, Su Yinyin was not a pushover either. The more he did this, the harder she twisted.
Until a trembling voice came from the door of the room.
"Cousin, what are you doing in the room..."
