When the whip came, Li Shiyao instinctively curled her shoulders. The whip would probably land on her back.
The wound on her waist had not healed yet. If the whip were to land on her again …
Just as Li Shiyao thought about it, she heard a loud slap.
Then …
"What's going on? Who let you in? Who allowed you to go in? "
The stage supervisor's voice rang out, and only then did Li Shiyao turn around in a daze. She did not know when Fei Bai had scuttled into the venue and was now standing in front of her.
The male lead's whip was in his hand. His expression was cold and his eyes were filled with murderous intent as he stared at the male lead.
The male lead was dumbfounded.
Others might not be able to see it, but he could feel it. If it were not for Fei Bai, the whip would have landed on Li Shiyao!
He hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, Teacher Li, are you alright?"
The male lead was a well-known actor in the country. He was a Best Actor, but due to a strange combination of factors, he had never won an award before. At this moment, he was counting on this movie to win an award and make him famous.
That was why he was very serious about filming. He had filmed many martial arts scenes, but none of them were like this one. It was as if whenever he encountered Li Shiyao, something would definitely go wrong.
Actually, there were not many martial arts scenes in Imperial Power. This was the first time the male lead had acted with Li Shiyao. The previous scenes were all emotional scenes.
Teacher Li Hai had clearly said that the whip had to be aimed in this direction. Li Shiyao could have dodged it without holding back. Otherwise, it would look too fake. How did something go wrong?
The male lead looked apologetic. It was not intentional. Fei Bai could only glare at him and throw the whip at his feet. He then turned to look at Li Hai.
The stage supervisor had already rushed over. "Who are you? What's wrong with you? Are you filming? Why are you acting like a hero saving a damsel in distress? "
Fei Bai was only one of Li Shiyao's bodyguards. As an assassin, he knew how to hide himself. That was why no one recognized him in the crew.
Seeing that the stage supervisor was about to lose his temper, Li Shiyao hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, this is my bodyguard."
The stage supervisor did not dare to speak.
Li Shiyao was rumored to have a backer!
Moreover, Lemon Entertainment's funds were being used to fund the entire production team, so they had to give Li Shiyao some face.
In order to not hold Fei Bai accountable for barging into the set, the stage supervisor could only say, "You can't just barge in. We're filming. You won't really hit him, understand? Hurry up and leave. "
Fei Bai glanced at the male lead and asked, "You won't really hit him?"
The floor supervisor was stunned.
The male lead immediately understood. He shouted at Li Hai, "Teacher Li, is there something wrong with this action?"
Li Hai walked over and looked at the calm man. He also looked like a simple and honest teacher. He said, "There's no problem. You can't hit her from this angle. If you can, then there's a problem with Li Shiyao's positioning."
As usual, he pushed the blame to Li Shiyao.
Her words made everyone look at Li Shiyao again.
Even if they didn't dare to complain, it was inevitable that they would be ridiculed again and again. Thus, the people who were watching the show began to discuss in low voices.
"Why are you so stupid!"
"She's always the one who gets into trouble!"
"Teacher Li Hai is a famous martial arts director. He has directed many movies and there are actors who are stupid, but I've never seen anyone as stupid as Li Shiyao."
"…"
The discussions made Li Shiyao's eyes redden. She tried to suppress her emotions.
Today's scene was about breaking up with the male lead. She had to be strong and not cry …
She took a deep breath and suppressed the grievances and shame in her heart.
She raised her head and looked at Li Hai. "Teacher Li, I'm sorry. Please give me some pointers."
Li Hai seemed to have finally lost his temper. In front of the director and everyone, he started to criticize her. "Li Shiyao, I really can't take it anymore! How can you be so stupid? Can't you be more careful? Don't you know that the entire production team is being delayed because of you! "
Li Hai looked like a calm teacher who could no longer hold back his anger. Listening to his words, could it be that Li Shiyao wasn't good at martial arts because she didn't put in the effort to learn?
Just as everyone was thinking about it, Li Hai's voice sounded again. "Everyone says that you are a diligent and good actress. But the martial arts scenes are indeed a little tough. You can't be too unreasonable, right?"
"When I was explaining this scene to you yesterday, I clearly told you to practice it a few more times. Did you not practice at all after you went back?"
"I've taught so many students. Even a five or six-year-old child can learn better than you!"
Li Hai waved his hand violently. "I'm really … Director, I can't teach this actress!"
With that, he turned around to leave.
The director walked over. "What's going on?"
Li Shiyao was flustered. At this moment, she couldn't care less about her embarrassment as she said, "Teacher Li, I'm not … I'm really studying seriously … I …"
Li Hai was furious. "So you're saying that I'm not teaching seriously? Do you feel guilty for saying that? Why don't you ask the rest of the actors how I teach them? "
With that, the rest of the actors couldn't help but say, "Teacher Li Hai is very professional …"
"That's right. I couldn't decide on the martial arts scenes the next day, so I went to look for him. He came to the practice room to help me …"
Li Hai had been pretending for so long in the crew. His hypocritical appearance had long been recognized by everyone.
At this moment, everyone's opinions were on Li Hai's side.
Moreover, one was an actress with fame and popularity, while the other was a calm and honest martial arts director. From the looks of it, it was more likely that Li Shiyao was being unreasonable and unwilling to put in the effort.
At that moment, everyone looked at Li Shiyao in disbelief.
She was usually too humble in the crew. How could she be such a person in private?
Could it be that they had made a mistake? Or was Li Shiyao too good at pretending?
The director couldn't help but criticize Li Shiyao. But after hesitating for a moment, he frowned.
Even if Li Shiyao's professionalism in acting was fake, it would still be considered professionalism if she could act for a few months. What was going on?
Li Shiyao was about to cry. "Teacher Li, that's not what I meant, I …"
Li Hai waved his hand. "Director, I can't teach this student. She's either too slow to learn martial arts, or she hasn't been serious about it. Li Shiyao, tell me, what's wrong with you? "
What was wrong?
Li Shiyao bit her lip.
The crew around them had already picked up their phones to film them. No matter how she answered, the final answer would be leaked.
The company was negotiating with an overseas sci-fi movie. If she could shoot it, it would be the peak of her life.
But if she went overseas to film, most people were interested in "China Kung Fu." If she admitted that she had no talent in martial arts, then once the news got out, those overseas people would definitely cancel the collaboration.
But if she admitted that she didn't put in the effort … how could she not put in the effort? For the past month, she had practiced martial arts until one in the morning every night. She would only sleep for four hours before getting up to film …
Li Shiyao's eyes turned red. She suddenly felt extremely stupid.
Li Hai saw that she didn't speak and said aggressively, "You can at least put on an act. If you don't even put on an act, how am I supposed to teach you?"
The director sighed. Just as he was about to speak, Fei Bai suddenly said, "Are you sure that you can dodge it with this move?"
The director was stunned.
He looked at the man in black who had been silent, but his aura was not to be underestimated.
Fei Bai stood in front of Li Shiyao. His eyes were sharp as he looked straight at Li Hai.
He knew that someone was targeting Li Shiyao. That was why he had been watching since he arrived at the set. At first, he thought that the male lead was doing it on purpose, but he soon realized that it wasn't the case.
As one of Huo Beichen's capable subordinates, his efficiency in investigating the truth of the matter was top-notch. With just a few simple investigations, he understood what was going on!
After all this time, it turned out that this seemingly honest but actually cunning Li Hai was the culprit!
Li Hai was furious when he heard this. "What do you mean?"
Fei Bai looked down. "This move … I can't dodge it."
Li Hai laughed coldly. "How is that possible!"
Everyone around them was stunned.
Can't dodge it?
The male lead furrowed his brows. "It's really hard to dodge, isn't it?"
Li Hai was afraid that the others wouldn't believe him, so he said, "Don't push the blame to me. Do you think I would purposely harm Li Shiyao? If you don't believe me, I'll show you. Li Shiyao, look carefully. Is this the position I taught you? "
After he finished speaking, he stood in Li Shiyao's position and said to the male lead, "Just swing the whip according to what I taught you!"
The male lead nodded. After Li Hai stood in Li Shiyao's position, he swung the whip with all his might.
Li Hai shrunk his body and quickly dodged to the side.
His movement was smooth and beautiful, but it had a technique that others couldn't detect.
After Li Hai stood up, he patted his body. "This is what I taught Li Shiyao. If I can dodge it, why can't she?"
His movement seemed simple, but it actually contained a lot of internal energy and other things.
Li Shiyao was just someone who had just started practicing martial arts. How could she dodge it?
Li Hai had been in the set for a long time. To be able to bully Li Shiyao until now, he must have some skills! At least these little tricks of his could not be seen by ordinary people.
Li Hai laughed coldly. "Li Shiyao, are you still going to say that it's my fault?"
Li Shiyao blushed and lowered her head.
Just as she was about to admit that she couldn't do it, Fei Bai's voice was heard again. "One more time."
Li Hai:??
Everyone was stunned. Then, they saw Fei Bai walk to the male lead's position and snatch the whip from his hand. He said to Li Hai, "This time, I'll swing the whip."
