Chapter 1099 - 1098: I Want to Discuss Something with You
Shen Mianmian didn’t bother with her, but said to the director, "Director, I feel that real fighting here would indeed look better, but if the female lead starts hitting someone, it doesn’t quite fit with her original character setup. After all, the female lead has always been characterized as a kind, innocent woman. So, I think it’d be more suitable for someone else to do the hitting; the male lead doing it would be quite fitting."
The director considered the script and thought that Shen Mianmian made a lot of sense. After a brief discussion about the plot, they directly changed the scene from the female lead hitting the supporting actress to the male lead hitting the supporting actress.
Wang Yaman was not convinced, but then she thought, no matter who did the slapping, Shen Mianmian would have to take it, and that made her happy.
After settling the plot, the director let everyone take a break and get ready to start shooting in a bit.
Shen Mianmian went to the restroom.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoman approached the male lead and coquettishly said, "Brother Zheng, I want to discuss something with you."
The male lead, named Zheng Yuxuan, was a veteran actor. Having been in the crew for a long time, he naturally knew quite a bit about the ins and outs of the industry. Seeing Wang Yaman’s attitude, he guessed what she was up to but didn’t expose her, feigning ignorance, he asked, "What’s up?"
Wang Yaman spoke in a whiny tone, "I think Shen Mianmian, as the supporting actress, is too arrogant. She doesn’t have any self-awareness of her position, and if people like that stay in the entertainment industry for a long time, they won’t even regard seasoned actors. She needs to be taught a lesson, don’t you think?"
Zheng Yuxuan raised his eyebrow, "Shen Mianmian debuted five years ago and has acted in several dramas, all with decent box office returns. She actually started in the industry two years before you, so she can’t really be considered a newcomer."
The truth was, if Shen Mianmian hadn’t been willing to play the supporting role, Wang Yaman wouldn’t even have had the chance to act with her.
Shen Mianmian being the supporting actress had elevated Wang Yaman’s status, but Wang Yaman was oblivious, not thinking things through.
