Under the shade of a tree, Su Qinqin was sitting comfortably on a chair with her assistant, Xiao Yu, who held a large mirror in front of her. She really 'liked' acting. If she really wanted to practice, she could have found a quiet place with fewer people around and practiced in silence. There was no need for her assistant to find such a big mirror. It was as if she was asking others to take photos of her doing this so that they could share them online.
Then, they would sell some press releases saying how Su Qinqin has been working hard for her new role.
"Xiao Yu, tell the paparazzi who are hiding in the corners to take good photos of me. Remember to edit the pictures." Su Qinqin took a sip of blood and spat it out. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw how the blood was coming out.
"I think that it looks great! I really don't know what the director is thinking of. How much better do I have to be? Is there anyone else better than me?"
The young girl was indignant. As soon as she finished speaking, a black shadow came from behind her.
Su Qinqin's eyes, which were filled with dissatisfaction, immediately changed into a smile. When she turned around and saw that it was Song Qingli, it was replaced by a mocking smile. "Oh, you don't have any scenes today. Are you here to be my stunt double again?"
Song Qingli leaned over and looked at Su Qinqin's bloodied face. Her porcelain white skin was covered in blood. Her eyes were round and her lips were red. However, the only flaw in her beauty was her nose bridge which looked very futuristic.
"Nice nose, how much did it cost?"
"Hey! What are you saying, I ... I was born with it." Su Qinqin felt a little guilty and did not even dare to raise her voice.
The sunlight was cut into pieces by the leaves and scattered in the shade. Song Qingli had a sharp vision. When the leaves swayed in the wind, the light from the sun swept across Su Qinqin's face, she noticed that the nose bridge looked a little transparent.
"I'll suggest that you apply more powder to your nose. Otherwise, it'll be obvious once there is light coming through it."
When Su Qinqin heard that, she immediately took out her powder and patted it on the bridge of her nose. When she finally came to her senses, she gritted her teeth and reproachfully looked at Song Qingli, who was beside her. "Fine. You have a celebrity manager. What's there to be arrogant about? I think Li Zhen is also unlucky as well. Come to think of it, she never worked with a nameless artist like you."
After chatting with her for a while, Song Qingli realized that this woman was very simple-minded but she was good at scheming. However, it was easy for others to see through it. Su Qinqin was pretentious but her methods were clumsy.
Song Qingli really couldn't understand how a woman with such bad moral values and who had used dirty tricks to get here could end up dating Xiao Yi.
Su Qinqin saw how Song Qingli kept quiet so a plan slowly formed inside her mind. She signaled Xiao Yu with one simple look.
Xiao Yu was a chubby boy with a sneaky look as well. He did not look like a kind man. Once he saw Su Qinqin's gaze and he immediately responded, "Hey, miss! I'm a little tired from all the lifting. Can you help me with this?"
Song Qingli's lips curled into a smile as she looked at the chubby assistant, who was holding a mirror. "If you can't lift it, then just put it down. I don't have much muscle on me. If I lift such a big mirror and drop it on the beautiful Su Qinqin, I'll be a sinner."
Su Qinqin's plan was exposed and she was unhappy about it.
Song Qingli could tell with one look that Su Qinqin was not interested in acting. Otherwise, Su Qinqin wouldn't have done so many bad takes in a row. Based on her current condition, it would be difficult for her to film any useful clips. Therefore, it would be best if she got injured now so that she would be able to rest.
But, how could she get hurt without being condemned by the crew?
That was to borrow the hands of others.
Su Qinqin's eyes looked fierce. Her assistant, Xiao Yu, secretly moved and used a large mirror to block the view of the rest of the crew from them.
Just as Song Qingli was about to turn around and leave, she was blinded by a splatter of blood on her eyes and all she could see was red. The girl covered her eyes and she couldn't fight back. This was an opening for Su Qinqin.
In the vast wilderness, in the ancient village with a clear sky, a Thunder-like sound suddenly came from the filming set. Someone shouted, "Oh my God! The female lead and the second female lead are fighting. This is big news. Quick, take a picture!"
"F*ck! Su Qinqin is pinned to the ground. Oh! What's the name of the second female lead? "
"She's just a rookie."
"Oh my God, how dare a rookie hit Su Qinqin? "
On Li Zhen's end, she was sitting in front of the monitor and chatting happily with the directors and producers. Then, they were attracted by the loud screams coming from a fight in the distance and there was already a crowd.
'Bang!' There was a loud sound as Producer Su slammed the table and stood up from his chair. "This is getting out of hand!"
He strode forward and pulled the crowd away one by one. "Delete all the photos you've taken or else you will be waiting to be sued. It's a violation of copyrights. You wouldn't want to be taken to jail for such trivial matters right?"
"Stage assistants, clear the area." As the main director, Director Zhang was looking mad as well but he had no choice but to stop filming.
They waited till the entire place was cleaned up.
Song Qingli stood by the side. Her face covered in blood and her red eyes made her look incredibly scary. Su Qinqin, on the other hand, only had messy hair and a handprint on her face. She did not seem to have any other injuries.
"Director, she was jealous that I'm the female lead. She came over to mock me and even wanted to splash the blood on me. I was just listening to your advice and practicing how to vomit blood. It was she who suddenly came over to provoke me and turned me into this state."
Seeing that she was lying through her teeth, Song Qingli rolled her eyes. "Who was the one who splashed the blood? Is your mouth only used for nonsense?!"
"You! It was you. Xiao Yu can be my witness." Su Qinqin called for her assistant, Xiao Yu, to be her witness. Everyone's eyes turned to the chubby boy, who was holding onto a mirror. He gulped nervously when he saw everyone looking at him and said, "It's ... It's this woman who suddenly appeared and then sprayed blood at Qinqin."
Producer Su didn't have a good impression of Song Qingli, to begin with, and the other directors didn't know her well either. They only knew that she was Li Zhen's artist. So, they've allowed her in and out of the filming set several times out of respect for Li Zhen.
"What did I say? With such a troublesome woman here, things were bound to happen sooner or later!" Producer Su retorted to the Assistant Director, "Look at her now. Su Qinqin still has multiple scenes to shoot today but she's in such a terrible state. She spent five hours doing her hair and makeup in the morning. It's already late in the morning now. How can she make any progress?"
"I didn't spray blood on her. She directed and acted this whole thing on her own." Song Qingli gritted her teeth and glared at Su Qinqin fiercely.
"Enough!" Li Zhen walked closer and glared at Song Qingli with wide eyes. Her gaze was filled with disappointment. "Quickly apologize to Su Qinqin and then apologize to the directors and producers."
Song Qingli bit her lips. Her eyes were covered with blood and there was a broken light that came from her scarlet eyes. The young girl clenched her fists and was reluctant to apologize. She looked down at Su Qinqin, who had fallen to the ground. Su Qinqin's face was covered in tears but when she met Song Qingli's gaze, there was a hint of provocation in Su Qinqin's eyes.
Su Qinqin still felt as if things were not chaotic enough and added, "Director, it's my first time acting and I've already encountered such a thing. It's really a blow to my heart."
Li Zhen suddenly interrupted Su Qinqin's ploy to incite the crowd, "Qingli, apologize to Su Qinqin now."
