Chapter 990: Then Take Another Shot
Shen Mianmian couldn’t help but laugh, "We’re actors, not gangsters. Don’t worry—if Yu Fei dares to intentionally give me a hard time, he’ll be the one who ends up looking foolish. We’re all sharp folks here on set; not many will fail to see through his little schemes."
The only way Yu Fei could trouble her was by deliberately messing up during filming, by causing retakes or suppressing her performance, but Shen Mianmian, with a more mature mindset, wasn’t afraid at all.
Just as Shen Mianmian had anticipated, Yu Fei did indeed take advantage of filming to deliberately make things difficult for her. He had almost always been able to do scenes in one take, rarely messing up, but now his frequent retakes were clearly aimed at tormenting Shen Mianmian.
Unfortunately for him, he didn’t trouble Shen Mianmian as much as he’d intended; instead, he ended up upsetting the director. Due to Yu Fei’s current status, the director’s attitude was still fairly accommodating.
"Yu Fei, do you need a break to adjust your mood?"
"No need, Director, let’s do it once more. I can definitely do it this time," Yu Fei said, and then, looking at Shen Mianmian with a smug glance, he thought, so what if he messed up repeatedly? The director still treated him with respect.
His intention was twofold: one was to wear down Shen Mianmian’s patience; the other was to show her his standing within the troupe.
"Then, let’s shoot it again," said the director.
So, everyone got ready and repeated the previous scene. In this shot, Shen Mianmian had to eat, and due to the retakes, she had already eaten quite a bit and was feeling full, but she didn’t complain and picked up the food again to eat.
