Chapter 377 Joining the Film Crew
As Sui Sui's reputation grew, many partners from various sectors offered to collaborate with the company. Song Qianyi screened the submitted offers in her office, eliminating some unreliable partners and taking the remaining contracts home.
"Mom, I want to go to this."
Sui Sui pointed to one of the contracts, and Song Qianyi reached out and took it. She saw the name on it and flipped through the contents.
"This contract requires you to join a film crew for filming. Sui Sui, are you sure you want to go?"
Sui Sui nodded in front of him: "Yes, I want to try it. I've only ever done magazine shoots before, and I've never experienced it before."
"Okay, then Mom will contact them."
Song Qianyi contacted the production team, and the two parties signed a contract. Sui Sui then joined the production team for relevant training.
Some entertainment reporters, having learned of the news, began taking photos of Sui Sui entering and leaving the film set, and linked her to a role played by an actor in the film.
When Lin Yuxin learned that Ji Suisui had joined the film crew, she pestered the Lin family: "Since Ji Suisui went, I want to go too. I can't let her outdo me!"
Her parents were so bothered by her that they had to go to Lin Chen. Seeing Lin Yuxin's defiant attitude, Lin Chen had his secretary contact the production team and get an additional investment, which allowed him to get Lin Yuxin into the production as a new child actress with a role similar to that of Sui Sui.
Upon hearing the news, Song Qianyi sneered: "These Lin family members are disgusting, like leeches. Wherever we go or what we do, they want to come along."
"Lin Yuxin has always followed Lin Chen's orders. Now that the entertainment reporters have spread the news, I will arrange for bodyguards to protect you outside the film set. Don't be too nervous. Sui Sui doesn't want you to worry too much either."
Ji Jingshen comforted Song Qianyi and took the initiative to find several bodyguards for Sui Sui to secretly protect her outside the film crew.
Outside the filming location, a van was parked at the entrance. Lin Yuxin, wearing sunglasses, went inside and saw Sui Sui, who had just come out of the room, and walked straight over to her.
Sui Sui saw someone blocking her way, looked up and was about to speak when she saw Lin Yuxin's face and prepared to walk around her.
But Lin Yuxin wouldn't let it go; no matter which way Sui Sui went, she would block her way.
"What, you're scared now that you see me? I remember you were pretty good at hitting people last time."
Lin Yuxin raised her hand and took off her sunglasses, looking at Sui Sui with a smug and provocative gaze: "Look at you, what use is your ability now? No matter which film crew I want to join or what I want to do, my uncle will help me. What about you? All you do is act cute with your parents and be a delicate white lotus."
Sui Sui across from Lin Yuxin had a sullen face and thought Lin Yuxin's behavior was very childish. She turned around to leave, when suddenly someone walked over to her.
"Even if you get in, so what? Everyone will know who relies on talent and who relies on capital. In today's entertainment industry, everyone values actors based on their abilities. If you're not popular, no amount of forcing your way in will help."
Sui Sui looked up and saw that it was the male model that Song Qianyi had told her to stay away from last time, so she subconsciously moved away from him.
"So what? I remember you were a model. It seems your family gave you some resources, which is why you came to this film crew as an actress."
The male model, caught off guard, immediately retorted: "So what? You're just a young girl with two faces. If word gets out, it might not be good for your future acting career."
Seeing that she couldn't win the argument, Lin Yuxin began to hold a grudge. She put on sunglasses and followed her assistant inside.
"Thank you. The director wants to see me, so I'll be going now."
Sui Sui walked quickly outside. She never expected that the male model would become an actor and be in the same film crew as her.
Soon, Sui Sui met with the crew again. Lin Yuxin's character was Sui Sui's mortal enemy, and today's scene happened to be a slapping scene.
Lin Yuxin stood opposite Sui Sui, reciting her lines according to the script, and then raised her hand to slap Sui Sui's nose. Sui Sui felt pain in her nose, and the director next to her immediately yelled "Cut!"
"Yuxin, hit her face, not her nose, otherwise you'll be blocking Suisui's face."
Upon hearing the director's words, Lin Yuxin immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, director, I was a little nervous and took up everyone's time. I will definitely finish quickly."
Although Lin Yuxin said this, her actual behavior was completely the opposite. She took the opportunity to deliberately make things difficult for Sui Sui in this scene, making her reshoot several times. Sui Sui's skin was delicate to begin with, and it turned red from being hit so many times.
Left with no other option, the director had to stop the filming: "Cut! Everyone, let's take a break. Yuxin, come here for a moment."
Lin Yuxin looked smugly at the slap mark on Sui Sui's face and walked towards the director.
“Yuxin, you don’t need to worry about whether you can hit her or not. Just treat Suisui as the person you hate the most and hit her directly. Once you hit her, this scene can be over. You’re just carrying too much psychological burden right now, afraid of hitting Suisui, which will only make you hit her more often.”
Knowing that Lin Yuxin was a rich heiress and dared not offend her, the director could only try to persuade her by saying that he would treat Sui Sui as just a minor actress.
Lin Yuxin nodded in agreement, but she had something else on her mind: she wanted to torment Ji Suisui.
Lin Yuxin followed the director's instructions, but when it came time to slap someone, she hit them in a different spot. The director was furious but dared not say anything, and forced himself to continue filming.
Sui Sui covered her face, turned around and said to the director, "Director, how about I switch roles with Yu Xin? That way we can understand each other's psychology better."
"No, I've just gotten into the swing of things. If we switch roles now, it will affect my performance, and that would be bad if it disrupted everyone's work."
Ji Jingshen and Song Qianyi were led in by the assistant director. The two, as investors in the production team, came to visit the set. They had already learned about what had just happened from the bodyguard.
The director immediately stood up to greet the two children. Ji Jingshen glanced at the two kids and said, "I think it's good to switch roles. Let them try it out first. This way they can experience it. You can cultivate their acting skills."
Lin Yuxin protested, but the director didn't even glance at her, only speaking to Ji Jingshen and Song Qianyi, and readily agreed.
Left with no other choice, Lin Yuxin and Sui Sui switched roles. Sui Sui quickly got into character, raising her hand and slapping Lin Yuxin across the face with a crisp sound.
Lin Yuxin covered her face and raised her hand to hit back in protest, but Sui Sui looked at her directly and threatened in a low voice: "If you can't get this shot right, I'll just tell the director to replace you. Anyway, you can't keep your word now."
She saw Ji Jingshen and Song Qianyi standing next to the director and forced herself to hold back.
