Chapter 376 - 377: Hold it in if you can’t accept it!
Now that she’s here to complain, Director Zhang just dismissively said, “Bingbing is the diva, her acting is supreme, but that doesn’t exempt her from occasional mistakes. You should be learning from the encounters in your scenes together, rather than dwelling on who might be targeting you.”
Xia Weiwei’s face turned green after hearing Director Zhang’s words.
However, Director Zhang also noticed that Shen Manbing was deliberately making things difficult.
So, he turned his face to Shen Manbing and said, “Bingbing, you need to know when enough is enough. Once you’re in the right emotional state, let’s start shooting.”
Shen Manbing just smiled, “I understand, Director Zhang.”
Despite feeling aggrieved, Xia Weiwei derived some comfort from the fact that at least Director Zhang had warned Shen Manbing.
She assumed that she would not be mistreated much henceforth.
But Xia Weiwei underestimated Shen Manbing’s capriciousness.
The act of a slap across the face was shot twenty times and still not approved.
Moreover, Shen Manbing’s strikes got harsher each time, obviously for revenge, with not the slightest hint of mercy.
Half of Xia Weiwei’s face had swollen from the hits.
However, Shen Manbing showed no inclination to stop.
During a break, Xia Weiwei said, “Shen Manbing, I’ve never wronged you. Why do you treat me like this?”
Shen Manbing sneered, “How do you know you haven’t wronged me?”
“You can’t treat me like this. Just because you’re a diva doesn’t mean you can do whatever you please. I can expose you to the media.”
“Expose what? Me bullying people or me acting arrogantly? Isn’t that what the public sees me as? If you really expose me, people will think that you are trying to get attention by using my fame. You are welcome to try.”
Shen Manbing’s argument made sense.
In this entertainment world, there are people who break rules unscrupulously, yet still receive love and support from their fans.
They’re real princesses, always being seen as infallible.
Shen Manbing was one of them.
Xia Weiwei clenched her fist, “What will it take for you to leave me alone?” “Leave you alone? Let me think… How about you leave the set? Otherwise, I’ve got a hundred other ways to make things hard for you.”
Leave the set?
She barely got the chance to act in Director Zhang’s film.
She’s still a freshman in the film academy, and all her classmates turned green with envy when they learned that she was acting in Director Zhang’s film.
If she were to quit midway, wouldn’t that make her a laughingstock?
Moreover, after finishing this film, her value would surpass that of other film academy students.
No matter what, she wouldn’t give up.
Xia Weiwei remained calm, “I won’t quit. I don’t believe you can dominate the whole set.”
“I can do just that, not just on set, but also in the entire entertainment industry.” Shen Manbing arrogantly said, “Don’t like it? Well, too bad.”
At this time, the director called for the resumption of shooting.
But still, the take was unacceptable.
Even the director started to advise her, but Shen Manbing did not let go.
The whole set started to sympathize with Xia Weiwei, but no one dared to step forward to speak up for her.
Fearful of being implicated.
They all wondered how Xia Weiwei had managed to offend the queen, Shen. However, on the surface, most of them also had discrepancies with Xia Weiwei. She was always throwing her weight around because she parachuted in as the daughter of Xia Liangdong, a big shot in the entertainment industry, acting like a big shot herself.
Watching her being beaten by Shen Manbing, most people felt a sense of satisfaction.
Yangyang, who rarely had no scenes today, watched from the side for a long time.
Shen Manbing was really harsh.
She also didn’t show mercy when she was shooting Cinderella.
Presumably, Xia Weiwei was even more miserable at that time.
No wonder, Xia Weiwei had been trying to frame her, ended up poisoning Shen Manbing instead.
And then that incident happened.
Shen Manbing must be holding a lot of anger inside.
