Chapter 818 Should I do something if my girlfriend is being bullied?
After Lin Xiangyu left, Le Yan was all alone.
Today happens to be the first time we've had a live stage simulation performance.
It's a significant challenge both mentally and physically.
After performing the play, Le Yan was almost exhausted.
If Lin Xiangyu were here, she could take advantage of the time she was changing clothes offstage to quickly drink some water to moisten her throat.
Everyone else assumed that Lin Xiangyu would take care of things like making sure Leyan drank water.
Unfortunately, Lin Xiangyu wasn't there, so Le Yan had to bear it all by herself.
Because it was her first time, and she was nervous and had a dry throat, Le Yan's voice became hoarse towards the end, and her singing was not satisfactory.
That wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that Xu Qingyin kept tripping her up. There was even a scene where Xu Qingyin's character hit Le Yan.
They had a great teamwork during rehearsals, using various points of leverage to create a realistic feel.
But Xu Qingyin was serious this time, and Le Yan received a solid slap. Because of her heavy operatic makeup, no one noticed.
Everyone thought the slap was incredibly realistic, and since everyone was so engrossed in their roles, no one noticed anything amiss.
After the mock performance ended, Miao Danqing's face darkened. "Le Yan, Xu Qingyin, Wen Songyi, the three of you come in with me!"
Knowing she hadn't performed well, Le Yan lowered her head and followed the teacher to the office.
Xu Qingyin and Wen Songyi followed behind Le Yan.
Wen Songyi gave Xu Qingyin a meaningful look. "You did that on purpose?"
He was referring to the incident where he actually slapped Le Yan.
Xu Qingyin paused, turned to look at Wen Songyi, and gave him an innocent look. "Teacher Wen, what are you saying? I don't understand?"
Wen Songyi gave a cold smirk, "Let me introduce myself. I am Wen Songyi, the leader of Le Yan's fan club. If you dare to bully her again, I will have my fans drown you in their spittle!"
Xu Qingyin: "...?!"
Wen Songyi withdrew his gaze, put one hand in his pocket, and strode after Le Yan.
Xu Qingyin paused, her hands clenched at her sides, and hatred surged in her eyes!
Le Yan, you vixen's daughter, you shameless slut! You even seduced the movie star!
You bitch!
...
After they left, all the actors were exhausted and started talking amongst themselves.
"What's wrong with Leyan today? She's usually very well-behaved."
"First time performing in a mock show, nervous, huh? Oh well, it's normal for your first time!"
"But the slap Xu Qingyin gave her just now looked so realistic! I was right there, and I was shocked. It felt like a real slap to me."
"Really? Xu Qingyin is a well-known national sister in the entertainment industry. Didn't she repeatedly ask during training yesterday if it would hurt Le Yan?"
"I don't understand, but to be honest, if the actual performance is like this, we're afraid we'll be doomed!"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. These celebrities all have powerful backers. We can't afford to mess with them..."
"I really don't understand what's wrong with Teacher Miao this year? How come she's taken on three celebrities all at once? It's one thing for Wen Songyi to be a veteran actor, but Xu Qingyin and Le Yan... these are just popular young actresses, sigh!"
"Shh, stop talking. We're not the leaders. Let's just do our best and leave the rest to fate!"
The actors gathered in the dressing room, removing their makeup and whispering among themselves.
At this moment, the atmosphere in Teacher Miao's office was somber.
Xu Qingyin, Le Yan, and Wen Songyi stood side by side.
Miao Danqing's expression was unusually serious as she offered her comments and criticisms one by one.
"Your agents repeatedly assured me that you would perform well before I made an exception and accepted you. And this is the kind of attitude you all have to deal with me today? Xu Qingyin, you only have five lines and a few actions, can't you even do them properly?"
Xu Qingyin looked panicked and helpless. "Teacher, I'm sorry, I'll do better next time..."
"You just slapped Le Yan hard across the face on stage. Do you think we didn't notice?"
Xu Qingyin was taken aback, then her eyes reddened: "I'm sorry, Teacher Miao, I didn't mean to, I was just too nervous..."
"Whether it was intentional or not, I don't care. Art is not about making sacrifices without limits. My actors can endure any hardship for a role, but this kind of humiliating slap is not allowed in my troupe! Xu Qingyin, I'm not afraid to offend you. If this happens again today, you can take your sponsorship and leave!"
Xu Qingyin frowned, a flash of hatred crossing her eyes!
That self-righteous old bastard!
She never liked it here. It's all the agent's fault; he must have been out of his mind to send her here to participate in this opera performance!
I thought it would just be a short cameo appearance, and only one performance, so I could just bear with it.
Seeing that Le Yan was actually the main character, how could she accept this?
She thought Le Yan had gone back to her hometown and asked her father to find her an old man, but she only found out yesterday that Le Yan actually had Huan Xing backing her and was secretly training here.
Not only that, but Le Yan is also the lead actress in this opera performance? This is basically making Xu Qingyin a supporting actress for Le Yan!
What right does Le Yan have?!
Although Xu Qingyin was unwilling to admit it, Le Yan's face was indeed too beautiful. There was no female celebrity in the industry with a more beautiful natural face!
That's why, when Xu Qingyin saw Le Yan's face, she found it hard not to actually slap her!
That slap really satisfied her!
Now I'll let her insult me a few times, but next time, she'll hit me again!
So what if we don't perform?
However, after she was kicked out, she immediately bought articles to say that Le Yan had an affair with the opera house's investors, and also played the victim. Anyway, Le Yan's reputation is so bad, once the trending topics and public opinion spread, would the troupe still dare to use Le Yan?
Xu Qingyin was plotting something in her mind, and glared fiercely at Le Yan.
Le Yan had no interest in paying attention to Xu Qingyin at the moment, and she was also very dissatisfied with her performance today.
Actually, even without Miao Danqing's criticism, she herself felt that her performance was outrageous!
She was absorbed in her own emotions and reacted slowly to the people and things happening around her.
Wen Songyi stood aside, taking in Le Yan's entire state.
He glanced at Xu Qingyin again and saw the scheming and malice that could not be hidden in her lowered eyes.
Wen Songyi narrowed his eyes.
"Xiao Wen, you did a good job today. I can tell you did your homework beforehand. However, you could relax your body language a bit more. Opera and film performances are different. Watch the videos I sent you."
Wen Songyi nodded modestly, "I understand, thank you for your guidance, Teacher Miao. I will improve accordingly."
Miao Danqing nodded to Wen Songyi, then glanced at Xu Qingyin and said coldly, "Leyan, you two can go back first."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyin turned and left.
Wen Songyi nodded goodbye to Miao Danqing and turned to leave.
After leaving the office, Wen Songyi sent Fu Nian'an a WeChat message: [Brother, your wife got beaten up, are you going to do anything about it?]
...
Le Yan and the training instructor remained in the office.
"Do you have a grudge against Xu Qingyin?"
Le Yan's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she nodded: "I guess so, we don't like each other."
The teacher frowned. "So when she hit you, you weren't angry?"
"I was in character then, so it wasn't too bad." Le Yan touched her cheek and answered truthfully, "I'm very angry now!"
Miao Danqing was amused by her reaction and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. She looked at Le Yan, pursed her lips and sighed, "You are a good prospect, but your personality makes you too vulnerable to being taken advantage of."
Le Yan pursed her lips and remained silent.
When Xu Qingyin slapped her, she was so immersed in the role that all her reactions were those of the character. It wasn't until the end of the performance that she belatedly realized that Xu Qingyin had done it on purpose!
My cheeks are still burning.
Le Yan was secretly planning to return the slap.
"You've worked hard today. Go back, put on a face mask, get some rest, and get back to your best tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll head back, teacher!"
Miao Danqing waved her hand, "Go back."
...
Le Yan received a call from Yao Jia after leaving Miao Danqing's office.
"I've already discussed your situation with President Chi. The new assistant will arrive tomorrow, so please continue to work hard today."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Le Yan turned and walked towards the dressing room.
She's still wearing the character's makeup and costume, so she needs to remove it and change back into her own clothes first.
All the other actors have left.
Le Yan pushed open the dressing room door, only to find it empty.
She went inside and sat down at a dressing table.
As soon as I sat down, the curtain of the fitting room was lifted.
Le Yan looked at Xu Qingyin, who was looking smug, through the mirror.
"Le Yan, you're quite the schemer! You disappeared for months, and I thought you'd wisely gone back to the countryside to be a village girl. I never expected you'd actually hook up with Huan Xing!"
Le Yan stood up, slowly turned around, looked at Xu Qingyin's eyes filled with jealousy and resentment, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Yes, not only am I prettier than you, but I'm also more cunning, and even luckier than you. Aren't you very jealous?"
Xu Qingyin's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth: "Don't be too smug! Don't forget that you're a mistress who can't be seen in public. As long as I expose your background, Huanxing will definitely give up on you, and netizens' spittle will drown you!"
"Then go ahead!" Le Yan sneered. "Xu Qingyin, you don't dare. If you did, you'd have plenty of opportunities for the next 10 years!"
"you……"
"You don't dare expose me at all!"
Xu Qingyin's face turned ashen with anger, and she glared fiercely at Le Yan.
Her reaction only confirmed Le Yan's suspicions!
"Xu Qingyin, admit it, you don't dare let anyone know that the son-in-law your Xu family brought in is a 'phoenix man' (a man from a poor background who marries into a wealthy family), a scumbag who cheats on his wife with the nanny and can't even control his own lower body! You're afraid of your family's scandals being exposed, afraid that my existence and my mother's existence will affect the value of your marriage as the Xu family's daughter! You're even more afraid that as a celebrity, people will compare me, their illegitimate daughter, with you!"
