Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Sun Sitian Suffers at the Hands of Zhou Papi

Quan Jinbei looked at Sun Sitian with a meaningful gaze, waited until she finished speaking, then nodded, "Don’t worry, I won’t make you feel indebted."

Shi Yaoguang watched Quan Jinbei’s expression, lighting a candle in her heart for Sun Sitian.

Poor, naive little girl, she has no idea what kind of entity she’s meddling with.

Tragic.

Tsk, truly tragic.

But what does that have to do with her?

Shi Yaoguang silently found herself a reason in her heart to enjoy the drama unfolding.

She had already tried to warn Sun Sitian, but the girl wouldn’t listen.

Oh dear, such is life.

Little does Sun Sitian know, Shi Yaoguang is already taking pleasure in her misfortunes internally at this very moment.

Seeing Quan Jinbei, this "pretty boy," tamed and obedient, Sun Sitian suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of achievement.

She looked at Shi Yaoguang, winking and making faces, her expression all but screaming a line of text, "How about that? I’m amazing, right? Hurry up and praise me!"

...

Sun Sitian felt she had done something momentous, thoroughly pleased with herself.

Soon, however, she couldn’t laugh anymore.

Half an hour after "taming" the pretty boy, she received a call from her agent.

"No way, sis? Didn’t we agree that I could rest for a while after the movie? Why did you suddenly take on so much work for me?"

Sun Sitian almost burst into tears speaking into the phone.

The person on the other side of the phone said something that stopped her tears in their tracks, "What did you say? On what grounds can the company arrange this? If I don’t finish all the press releases, they will give my role to someone else? It was clearly promised to me before, how can they take away my role using that kind of reason?"

"I don’t care, they must keep the role for me!"

"Boo hoo hoo... Are you guys skinflints? Why are you bullying me like this? I just wanted to rest for a few months!"

"..."

"Okay, okay, I got it, you don’t need to say anymore, I’ll work hard to keep the role!"

After hanging up, Sun Sitian went to Shi Yaoguang to pour out her woes, "Yaoguang, Yaoguang, I’m so upset boohoo..."

Shi Yaoguang, seeing the girl with red-rimmed eyes, felt a bit helpless, "What happened to you?"

"Do you know my boss is a total miser? In half a year, there’s a role I really like that I’ll be able to play, but just now, my agent called me, saying they’ve scheduled new press for me, even though there was none before..."

Yaoguang understood the situation from Sun Sitian’s incoherent outpouring.

And she expressed her full sympathy.

"Your boss is indeed... a miser."

"Boo hoo hoo, this is just too tragic for me, my schedule is now packed tight, and I don’t have a single day of rest..."

Shi Yaoguang looked at the weeping Sun Sitian, not having the heart to tell her that she brought this upon herself.

Although it was indeed a bit tragic that she had to keep rushing to different engagements.

But...

For a popular young starlet like her, it might not be such a bad thing.

Others would probably wish they had the chance to be that busy.

After Sun Sitian finished her weepy complaint, she went to negotiate with Wang Zhehai.

After all, her press schedules were really tight, and she had to compress her filming time as much as possible.

Wang Zhehai had no objections, finishing filming earlier was a good thing as long as it didn’t conflict with other scenes.

...

Because Sun Sitian needed to rush her press engagements, she compressed her filming time.

Wang Zhehai then rearranged the original scenes, moving some of the more intense sequences to an earlier shoot.

Why mention intense scenes?

They are mostly fight scenes. Don’t be fooled by Sun Sitian being just the third female lead, her screen time in the film is not less than that of the second female lead.

In the film, she plays a police woman.

Disgusted by Shi Yaoguang, the leading lady’s style, she constantly clashes with her. Eventually, for the greater good, she sacrifices herself—a character that is generally quite likable.

It could be said that the least likable role in the entire film is the school beauty played by Shi Yiqing.

And this truly infuriated Shi Yiqing.

Fortunately, this wasn’t entirely without benefit.

The crew had intense scenes...

No, to be precise, action scenes.

These are commonly referred to as combat scenes, where in some scenarios, wirework is required.

"Oh my, we have to do wirework again, it’s so annoying..." Sun Sitian couldn’t help but complain to Shi Yaoguang, "Yaoguang, you have no idea, I’m almost tortured to death by these wires."

"Huh?" Shi Yaoguang showed a curious expression, "What do you mean by that?"

"Every time we shoot wire scenes, it’s for the entire day. By the end of the day, my arms are all bruised," she said.

As she spoke, she lifted her arm, "Look, look, right here, it’s almost left imprints."

Shi Yiqing, overhearing their conversation, smirked.

Opportunity...

Right before her eyes!

...

Before starting the wirework, the staff carefully checked the equipment to ensure there were no issues before rigging the actors up.

Shi Yaoguang and Sun Sitian acted together, and Sun Sitian was skilled.

Shi Yaoguang’s acting and agility go without saying. Throughout the entire morning, Wang Zhehai joyfully shot four wirework scenes and exclaimed with delight, "This is how shooting should be, if only all actors had such skills, I’d die laughing."

Very cleverly, Sun Sitian responded: "What are you talking about, Director? With so many excellent actors like us, you’d die laughing every day, wouldn’t you?"

"Hahaha, you do have a point..."

As Shi Yiqing watched them chat away happily, she quietly slipped off to the props department.

After the actors came down from the wires, the staff would check the safety of the wirework again.

After eating lunchboxes in the afternoon, they could continue.

Shi Yiqing took advantage of the lunchbox distribution break to enter the props department.

After a fifteen-minute break post-lunch, the director announced it was time to get in place and prepare to resume filming.

Before filming resumed, Sun Sitian sought out Shi Yaoguang and complained about her grievances, "Yaoguang~ I’m so tired, I don’t want to do wirework anymore, whine whine whine!"

Shi Yaoguang was somewhat surprised, "You want to skip work?"

Sun Sitian shook her head and said, pointing at her fingers, "I don’t mean to bunk off work, I... I just want to..."

As she spoke, she chuckled sheepishly.

Shi Yaoguang, completely baffled, could only respond, "..."

What a refreshingly high-minded reason.

After Sun Sitian had her fun, she joined Shi Yaoguang on the wires.

Shi Yiqing watched as they got rigged up, a smug, secretive expression on her face.

Just wait, falling from the wires doesn’t kill you, it maims you.

She was eager to see what Shi Yaoguang could be so arrogant about now.

But as soon as she got a clear view of the wires on Shi Yaoguang, she suddenly couldn’t laugh anymore.

When she went to sabotage them, she had targeted the wires used by Shi Yaoguang in the morning, but the wires on her now were clearly not the ones she had messed with...
