Volume 2 Chapter 1315: Beat Her to Death
Over the years, Mrs. Gu basically stayed at the Gu family's old house. On weekdays, she was either chatting and playing mahjong with a group of old ladies, or enjoying family happiness with Gu Mocheng.
She is old and doesn't like to go out and run around. She wants to live a comfortable life at the Gu family's old house.
When she got up this morning, Gu Ziming called to care about her, and she thought of Ziming's daughter-in-law, Xiao Man'er.
After meeting Qiao Man last time, Mrs. Gu had a good impression of her. After Gu Ziming and the others left, she called Gu Mocheng and told Gu Mocheng that she was very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law, and asked Gu Mocheng to help keep an eye on Gu Ziming and not let Ziming mess around.
Such a good granddaughter-in-law must not run away.
Madam Gu was worried about Gu Ziming's affairs every day, so she asked her family to drive over early in the morning and come to the entertainment city to see Qiao Man, who was filming.
She found out that Qiao Man had a scene today.
Mrs. Gu had never been to the entertainment city and was very curious about everything here. She walked slowly. Because she was deeply impressed by her grandson-in-law, she caught a glimpse of Qiao Man who was preparing to film a movie.
Before Qiao Man and Cao Yu started acting, the director once again told Cao Yu about the requirements for the whipping scene.
"Cao Yu, you must control your strength and don't hit me."
"Also, the first whipping is really good. Don't hit Qiao Man later."
"I know." After the director finished speaking, Cao Yu said impatiently.
The director looked at Cao Yu and Qiao Man, then turned and walked back to the monitor, looking at them in the scene through the screen.
After the director left, Cao Yu raised her lips with a sneer, "Sister Qiao Man, the director asked me to only give you a whipping. I don't think this is enough!"
"Don't worry, I will never let our scene be filmed in one take."
Cao Yu said proudly, thinking that she could whip Qiao Man hard later, she felt extremely happy.
Qiao Man could tell from Cao Yu's tone that Cao Yu would deliberately shoot poorly later and then retake and retake.
If you re-shoot ten times, you will hit her ten times.
This scene was very important, and Qiao Man could accept it for the sake of plot and authenticity. But she couldn't let Cao Yu and Xia Yingying join forces to bully her.
"Cao Yu, you have worked hard for Xia Yingying for many years. Don't you feel sorry for yourself?"
Qiao Man knew very well how Xia Yingying brought Cao Yu to the forefront.
"What do you mean by that?" Cao Yu immediately retorted.
While the two of them were talking, the director asked the recorder to come over and prepare to record the scene.
"In the past few years, you have followed Xia Yingying's arrangements to accompany several men, and you have climbed into the beds of many men. Don't you feel dirty?"
"You may not think it, but when I look at you, I think you are dirty."
These two sentences stimulated Cao Yu.
When Qiao Man told her what she had said, Cao Yu's expression suddenly changed. When the recorder was playing the game, she tightened the whip in her hand and hit Qiao Man without even saying her lines.
Seeing her whip coming, Qiao Man stepped back first.
"Qiao Man, you bitch!"
Cao Yu shouted angrily and wanted to hit Qiao Man with the whip in her hand.
Cao Yu can act, and so can Qiao Man.
Qiao Man burst into tears, "Cao Yu, what are you doing!"
"The last time I slapped you was necessary for the plot. How could you remember that and take revenge on me today?"
"We just started filming and you beat me to death. I won't be beaten to death by you until the end of this scene."
Qiao Man's words made Cao Yu even more angry. Seeing that Cao Yu missed Qiao Man, she swung the whip again.
"I just want to beat you to death!"
After she finished speaking, the director behind her shouted, "Ka ka ka!"
"Stop."
The director stood up and walked towards the scene. He stood in front of Qiao Man and cursed at Cao Yu, "Cao Yu, do you still want to act?"
He had heard that Cao Yu was arrogant, but he didn't expect it to be so much.
Xia Yingying, who was watching from the sidelines, saw Cao Yu hit Qiao Man without saying any lines, and saw Qiao Man sobbing again. She knew that Qiao Man deliberately provoked Cao Yu.
"Director, if I acted in this scene, I would be beaten to death by Cao Yu." Qiao Man said in tears.
She trembled and stretched out her hand to wipe her tears.
"She beat me in this scene according to the plot, but she had resentment towards me. She was the female lead, and I didn't even show my face a few times in the scene. I was hurt by her, and I didn't dare to say anything."
Qiao Man deliberately mentioned Cao Yu's status as the female lead and told the director that she had to be bullied by Cao Yu because she had no backstage.
However, she was the one Gu Ziming inserted into the crew. Are you sure there is no backstage?
The entire crew and the director knew how she came in.
If the director wants to protect Cao Yu, he also has to weigh Gu Ziming's weight.
Qiao Man is not someone to be bullied. She has been in the entertainment industry longer than Cao Yu and has a glorious history. How could she be bullied by Cao Yu.
"Director, I'm sorry." Xia Yingying spoke up first and helped Cao Yu.
She was not like Cao Yu, who couldn't control her emotions and clamored for Qiao Man to look good.
"Cao Yu is in a bad mood. Give her another chance."
Cao Yu saw the director's cold expression and knew that he had fallen into Qiao Man's trap.
She was so stimulated by Qiao Man's words that she started to beat her.
"Director, I'm sorry, I forgot to say my lines." Cao Yu had an idea and found a better reason.
Her words made Xia Yingying feel very comfortable.
This good show was almost ruined by Cao Yu herself. She sat aside and waited to see Qiao Man's miserable appearance.
"I'm sorry, Sister Qiao Man." Cao Yu said apologetically to Qiao Man, "It's my fault. I was distracted and forgot to say my lines. You won't be angry with me."
When Cao Yu reached out, Qiao Man took a step back to prevent her from touching him.
"Yes." Qiao Man said lightly, "The way you hit me just now was very real."
"I felt my life was threatened."
Qiao Man went to the serious part.
The director listened to their conversation and was hesitating what to say next. Xia Yingying smiled and said, "Director, why not cancel this scene."
"This will save our Cao Yu from hitting Sister Qiao Man and making Sister Qiao Man feel that she has been retaliated against and feels aggrieved."
This move turned retreat into advance, and Qiao Man had no choice but to do it with both hands.
In five years, Xia Yingying has grown even more.
As soon as she said this, the director immediately made a decision.
"Qiao Man, it's Cao Yu's fault this time. But if this scene is cancelled, there will be conflicts in the plot, and Concubine Shen's story will be greatly reduced."
"Just bear with it," the director said.
He thought that Qiao Man really had a close relationship with Gu Ziming, so the leading actress in this scene must be Qiao Man.
The director mentally balanced the interests of all parties and chose a relatively light side. After Qiao Man listened to the director's decision with a small smile, she raised her head again, her tears gone.
