Chapter 1099: Chapter 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.

Wang Yaman pouted, "But she’s still a washed-up actress, what’s there to be arrogant about? Brother Zheng, just tell me, are you willing to help me out or not?"

"How would I help you?" Zheng Yuxuan asked.

"Isn’t it your turn to hit her later?" Wang Yaman whispered conspiratorially, "Then you could take that chance to hit a little harder, or intentionally call for a cut and hit her a few extra times."

Zheng Yuxuan frowned, "That doesn’t seem very appropriate, does it?"

"What’s inappropriate about it?" Wang Yaman didn’t feel there was anything wrong with her suggestion, "Using a role to settle personal scores happens a lot, doesn’t it? You must have done it before as well?"

Zheng Yuxuan’s expression shifted slightly, "Don’t talk nonsense, I’ve never done such a thing."

If he admitted to it, how could he continue to work in the entertainment industry?

Wang Yaman made a cutting remark, "Just tell me, can you do this favor or not?"

Zeng Yi, who happened to overhear their conversation, frowned and walked away from the scene. Seeing Shen Mianmian coming out of the restroom, he immediately approached her and warned, "Miss Shen, there’s something I need to tell you."

"Hm?" Shen Mianmian looked at him, surprised by his serious expression. "What is it, tell me!"

Zeng Yi glanced in Wang Yaman’s direction and said, "I overheard Wang Yaman telling Zheng Yuxuan to use the scene to hit you, so he might not hold back when it’s time. You should be careful."

Shen Mianmian’s eyes flashed, "Don’t worry! Zheng Yuxuan won’t do that."

After interacting with him over this period, she had come to understand Zheng Yuxuan. She had no conflicts with him, and he didn’t have a good relationship with Wang Yaman, so he wouldn’t do such a thing for her.
