Chapter 47: Unkillable

"Director, let's shoot other things first." It was Li Qinghe who spoke to ease the tense atmosphere.

The director was in a dilemma. "If we need to change the scene temporarily, Xiaohe, have you memorized the lines?"

"I've memorized most of it." Li Qinghe has a good memory. While waiting for Tan Ying yesterday, he took a look at some of the lines and remembered most of them.

The director glanced at the time. They didn't have much time to shoot here, and the actor who played the male lead would not arrive until a week later. They couldn't afford any more delays. "Okay. Xiaohe, you can look at the lines again. Stagehands, hurry up and pack up."

Groundskeeper: “Okay!”

It was almost noon when Tan Yingcai arrived late.

Li Qinghe was next to the director's camera, and Ning Congyuan also came and patiently explained some things to Director Guo.

"Director Ning, if we weren't so rushed here, I would definitely go to your crew to learn something." Director Guo smiled.

Ning Congyuan said in a good-tempered tone, "Director Guo is much more professional than me, there is no need to learn from him."

Li Qinghe watched the playback recording and was about to leave, but Ning Congyuan called her, "Li Qinghe, you don't have many scenes this afternoon, can you come over and play a cameo role?"

Fearing that Li Qinghe would refuse, Ning Congyuan hurriedly said, "It won't take up too much of your time."

Tan Ying walked over and happened to hear this. She snorted and her tone sounded very strange, "You really have some tricks."

Ning Congyuan's expression turned gloomy. He didn't like Tan Ying in the first place. Tan Ying also had a bad temper. She kept provoking him, which was very annoying.

At that moment, Ning Congyuan immediately replied, "Ms. Tan is really dedicated. She came only when the sun was high. If you didn't know her, you would think she was playing a minor role."

Ning Congyuan's move immediately hit Tan Ying's sore spot.

In a movie invested by her family, she only played the second female lead. Moreover, Li Qinghe once again snatched away the leading role, and she had long been resentful.

However, Li Qinghe was chosen by Director Guo, even though their family held the majority of the shares. However, Director Guo was arrogant and insisted that if the female lead was not Li Qinghe, the show would not be filmed.

Tan Ying gritted her teeth and didn't dare to quarrel with Ning. She could only snort coldly and look at the makeup artist, "What are you eating! Come and do my makeup!"

After the noisy person finally left, Ning Congyuan asked again, "Li Qinghe?"

Li Qinghe was very interested in Ning Congyuan's script. However, she wanted to distance herself from the two of them, so she rejected Ning Congyuan's offer. After thinking about it, Li Qinghe nodded, saying that it was just a cameo role.

Director Guo waved his hand carelessly, "Okay, I'll let Tan Ying shoot first this afternoon. But, Director Ning, can you lend me your male lead as well?"

Ning smiled from afar, and said in a gentle tone, "I need to ask for his opinion."

"Okay!" Director Guo responded happily.

In the scene shot in the afternoon, Li Qinghe was supposed to use a camera to tie up Tan Ying, but Li Qinghe said casually, "Director Guo's films never use camera, right?"

Director Guo nodded quickly, glanced at Tan Ying, and said angrily, "It's just a slap. It won't kill you."

Tan Ying was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she stared at Li Qinghe, "You dare to hit me!"

Li Qinghe smiled faintly and did not comment.

Tan Ying had a clue in her mind. She thought Li Qinghe just said it casually, but she didn't believe it. She thought this woman really dared to hit her!

It was not until the actual filming began that Tan Ying came to her senses when she felt a clear pain on her face. "You bastard!"

"Cut!" Director Guo threw the script in anger, "Tan Ying, what the hell is wrong with you!"

Everything was fine, the two of them were in the right mood, and the expression on Li Qinghe's face was perfect. But Tan Ying didn't follow the script!

"She hit me!" Tan Ying complained, covering her face.

Speaking of this, Director Guo was furious, "What's wrong with hitting you? Are you the emperor or something? Why can't I hit you?"

Tan Ying was so angry that her whole body was shaking, but Director Guo was too lazy to even look at her and was just rushing to get on with the project.

Li Qinghe lowered her eyes, looked at her palms, and sighed softly, "Ms. Tan, are you okay?"

"You!" Tan Ying was furious, and heard Li Qinghe continue to say, "If you don't take it seriously, I can beat you again."

Tan Ying bit her lip and trembled with anger.

It took seven takes to shoot this scene.

When the show was over, Li Qinghe applied a warm towel to her hands and said in a slightly cold voice, "Ms. Tan, if you continue to delay, it will be more than just a few slaps."

Tan Ying’s role in the drama is the vicious second female lead, who is always abused by the female lead, so she has been uncooperative.

"Just wait for me!" Tan Ying covered her face, glared at Li Qinghe fiercely, and asked for leave to return to the hotel.

Xia Zhi was stunned watching from the side, and after a long while he gave Li Qinghe a thumbs up, "Great! People like her should be punished a little."

Li Qinghe put the warm towel aside and shook his head. "If not, she might think I'm easy to bully."

She has never been as obedient as she appears to be. Just because she has endured it in the past doesn't mean she will endure it forever.

Xia Zhi said with a grin, "Hehe, actually our Li Qinghe is a shrew! If you dare to bully her, I will kill her in a minute!"

Li Qinghe smiled helplessly, "As long as she can calm down, after all, we still have to shoot, and I don't want to delay it for too long."

"Yeah." Xia Zhiying said.

Five days later, Zhao Xun, who played the male lead, finally arrived. He was an artist who had just debuted in recent years and was a sunny and cheerful person. As soon as he saw Li Qinghe, he greeted her obediently, and the way he nodded his head reminded Li Qinghe of the young boy she met on the basketball court in high school.

It is indeed the type that little girls like.

After Zhao Xun came, Li Qinghe and Tan Ying had fewer roles, and the focus was on filling in Zhao Xun's role.

After the show, Tan Ying sat leisurely aside, staring at the photos on her phone, and smiled coldly, "Are you ready?"

The agent beside her asked uncertainly, "Do you really want to do this? What if Mr. Jiang gets angry?"

Ning Congyuan's crew was right next door, and Director Guo admired Ning Congyuan very much, so the two of them often went back and forth, taking the two protagonists to learn together.

Although Ning Congyuan and Li Qinghe only came into contact because they were asking for advice on the script, the angle chosen by Tan Ying was tricky. When she fanned the flames, any man would not be able to tolerate his fiancée being intimate with another man.

Tan Ying's eyes flashed with a determined gleam. She was different from Li Qinghe. She was now the spokesperson for major brands, while Li Qinghe was just a newcomer who had just debuted. Even if he had to choose the future wife of the Jiang family, he should choose someone like her.
