"Look at how red his face is after you hit him. How are you going to let him act from now on? Aren't you delaying the crew's progress?"
Cui Yingying curled her lips, looking unhappy. "I didn't use much force, who knows why his face is so red? Director, you can't blame me entirely."
"I explained it before filming started. You have to hide when you're told to. How can you blame me for not hiding?"
Jiang Yi clenched his hands beside him. He had really hit his face hard and it still hurt, but he was still talking there so innocently.
"I'm sorry, Director. This is all my fault. I didn't dodge it and I was slow to react. It has nothing to do with Sister Cui."
No matter how angry Jiang Yi was, he had to endure it.
The director sighed and shook his head helplessly. "Forget it, we've already fought, and you can't fight back, right? Let it be. We're all dedicated to the art of acting, right?"
Jiang Yi nodded, his face full of sincerity, "Yes, there's nothing wrong with Sister Cui. It's all my fault for not avoiding it. Don't be angry at me, director. I should have covered my face with foundation and it would have been fine. We still have to shoot the next scene, so I won't waste everyone's time."
The director felt relieved when he heard him say that.
As expected, the young stars have better tempers. They can endure any grievances. Even if they are hit in the face, they will not say a word. In the future, we should find more unknown artists to act in dramas, which will save money and trouble.
The people in this crew had little contact with Jiang Yi, so naturally they didn't know that he was two-faced.
He clearly remembered that someone slapped him, and there was no way he would just let it go like that.
Jiang Yi returned to the dressing room and let the makeup artist apply foundation on her face.
"That's too harsh! Why is it so red? The foundation is almost covering it up."
Jiang Yi looked around, clenched his back teeth, but still smiled, "It's okay, if foundation can't cover it, just use concealer, I believe it will be fine."
The makeup artist muttered quietly, "You have such a good temper. You let others step on your head. If it were me, I would probably be so angry that I wouldn't even want to shoot the scene."
Jiang Yi quickly interrupted him with a warning in his eyes, "Okay, don't say that. If someone hears it, they'll think I told you to say that."
"It's okay. I'm not famous, so naturally I have to endure some hardships. This is my first time acting on a set, and I don't want to cause any conflicts because of me and make everyone unhappy."
The makeup artist snorted, "What does it have to do with you? You did nothing wrong. It's not like you slapped anyone. Seriously, you're too patient."
Jiang Yi smiled and pretended not to hear what the makeup artist said, but she took a deep breath against Cui Ying in her heart.
It’s not that I won’t take revenge, but now is not the time.
In the evening, Reuters photos of the crew were posted online. At first, nothing happened, but someone posted it anonymously.
It was said that the leading actress slapped the second female lead on the set, causing her face to become red and swollen, and she had to use foundation to cover it up in order to continue acting. In the subsequent plot, even the director severely criticized the leading actress.
There is no name or surname mentioned, but this is what arouses the curiosity of netizens.
[I'm really impressed. You'll die if you just say the name, right? Aren't they just Cui Ying and Jiang Yi?]
[I really laughed. This sister encountered such a thing even after joining the crew.]
[But I heard the director seemed very angry. It seems the slapping scene wasn't originally planned.]
Jiang Yi looked at the discussion among netizens, a hint of deep meaning flashing in his eyes.
That’s right, this anonymous netizen is a small account he registered.
He wanted to see which side netizens stood on when it came to this kind of thing.
At the beginning, everyone in the entertainment industry was questioning why the leading actress had to add her own scenes and make her face swollen.
But an hour later, public opinion changed instantly.
Many people mentioned the incident when Jiang Yi slapped Su Yu when she participated in a variety show.
Because he said he deserved it. Didn't he know when he slapped someone?
Back then, I enjoyed beating people up on variety shows, but now when I get beaten up, I just complain.
I think the most pitiful person in this matter is my sister Su. She didn't dare to say a word when she was beaten, and it happened in front of so many people. Now she was beaten while acting and feels so wronged.
[I don't know why he feels wronged. Just take the money and act.]
[What's wrong with slapping you? Aren't you just the second female lead?]
Although some of the comments were disgusting, more people focused on the incident of him slapping someone on the variety show.
That video was repeatedly excavated by netizens, and it was finally discovered that he seemed to have done it on purpose.
Jiang Yi was a little panicked. Why were they bringing up something that happened so long ago?
He quickly looked through the comment section, and with his experience he quickly discovered that this was a group of internet trolls manipulating public opinion.
"Who is it?"
Jiang Yi racked his brains but couldn't figure out who it was that brought up this matter.
Is it Cui Ying or Su Yu?
I have to say that he is really a little crazy now, and feels that everyone around him wants to harm him.
But who bought this navy?
At this time, Cui Ying was sitting in the room, listening to her assistant's report with great joy.
"I knew he wouldn't let it go. If he could endure a slap in the face, he wouldn't be named Jiang anymore."
"It seems that hiring a network of cyber-trolls in advance is indeed the right thing to do. Look, if we dig up the past, who will care about us now? We will all think he deserves it."
The assistant nodded as well. "It's okay for him to hit others, but it's not okay for others to hit him. Netizens hate people like this the most."
Jiang Yi gritted his teeth, it must have been Su Yu who did it.
He has finally gained some fame and is able to get some acting roles, but that woman can't stand him and wants to ruin his career.
No, absolutely not. She had worked so hard to get to where she was today, and had to overcome all obstacles to get such a script. She absolutely could not let it be ruined by someone with ulterior motives.
No matter who it is, he will ignore it for now. He will deal with it after finishing the filming. He will definitely bring that person to ruin.
Thinking this, Jiang Yi lay on the bed and closed his eyes.
Let’s shoot the play first, and then I will definitely destroy Cui Ying.

After all, it was just a small piece of news, and the popularity died down within a few hours, and no one paid attention to it anymore.
But the people in the crew looked at Jiang Yi with tinted glasses, and they were not as enthusiastic about him as before, and they would secretly talk about him behind his back.
Cui Ying was very happy to see this situation.
