Translator: 549690339

The plot background is: Facing the opposition from the Kim Family, Mrs. Kim, who has been living abroad for a long time, sends her daughter Kim Shimei and her younger brother Kim Shixun to settle in the United States.

The scene being filmed today is where Kim Shimei, who is driving a car, leaves with her younger brother Kim Shixun, who has been drugged and is now asleep, while Lin Xiaofan chases after the car, running behind it.

This scene isn’t difficult to portray.

However, the setting for this segment happens to be during Christmas.

It’s a winter filming scene.

Direct description in the script dictates that Lin Xiaofan wears a heavy down jacket.

The problem is, this is summertime, the peak of summer in late July.

However, there’s no choice, it’s the basic cultivation of being a professional actor.

The moment she put on the down jacket, Xia Yangyang felt as if she was stuffed into a large furnace.

The director knew this was going to be a difficult scene to shoot.

Before shooting, the director said, “This scene isn’t hard, Yangyang. Just give a good performance, one take should be enough.”

Shooting started.

Kim Shimei starts the car while Kim Shixun lies in the backseat.

There’s air conditioning in the car, so their condition isn’t too concerning.

The car starts rolling, and the filming equipment also moves alongside on the track.

Lin Xiaofan begins chasing after the car.

After running just a few steps, Xia Yangyang began feeling sweat running down her back.

At this point, the director shouted cut with the megaphone.

Shooting stopped.

The director called out, “Bingbing, you’re driving too fast. Slow down, let’s start over.”

Then they started filming the second take.

After a while, the director yelled cut again, “Bingbing, you’re driving too slowly. Be faster, roll again.”

Then the third take, “Cut, maintain a steady speed, Bingbing. Don’t brake suddenly.”

This went on for over a dozen takes, none of which were passable.

At this point, Xia Yangyang was so hot that she felt like she was going to pass out.

The director called for a rest.

Xia Yangyang hurriedly took off her down jacket. Her whole body was soaked, and her shirt was sticking to her skin almost transparently.

The director came over to discuss the scene, “Bingbing, you seem to be off today. Should we switch to another scene?”

Shen Manbing responded, “I’m sorry, Director Yang. Actually, I don’t drive much in my daily life, so my driving skills are a bit… But let’s continue, I’ll pay attention.”

The director confirmed, “Okay, we’ll continue after a while.”

Any discerning person could tell that Shen Manbing was deliberately torturing Xia Yangyang.

Lu Yao was anxiously standing by, “Is it because Yangyang didn’t greet her proactively when they met just now? This show of supremacy is way over the top.”

“Poor Yangyang. It’s such a hot day, she has to wear a down jacket and run after a car. If they have to retake the scene a few more times, she might get a heatstroke.”

On the sideline, Xia Weiwei was secretly enjoying it.

Although she didn’t know how Xia Yangyang had offended Shen Manbing, with such a powerful figure pressing down on her, Xia Yangyang was definitely in for a tough time.

Everyone on the crew, even the director, must cater to Shen Manbing’s mood.

Even though the director was fully aware of Shen Manbing tormenting Xia Yangyang, he was helpless.

Finally, Chen Yu couldn’t take it anymore and said, “Sister Bingbing, using your position for personal affairs doesn’t suit your queenly demeanor. If you have any complaints, you should take it up with Mr. Gu. It’s not good to treat Xia Yangyang like this.”

Shen Manbing was surprised to discover that Chen Yu knew quite a bit about their relationship.

Shen Manbing responded with a cold laugh, “If you care about her, then don’t speak up for her. I’m very petty. A word from you might make her run a few more times.”

Chen Yu knew Shen Manbing’s character well. She had a short temper, but rarely made things difficult for others.

As for those who angered her, she would push them into an abyss they could never crawl out of.

Considering her family background and the backing of the Shen Family, nobody dared to cross her.

This time, Xia Yangyang was in real trouble!
