Chapter 1208 - Who Did You Offend

The actors appeared to have not noticed her warning expression. They surrounded her and smiled obscenely. “Little girl, are you shy? Don’t waste your effort to resist, take off your clothes obediently and let your brothers search for themselves. We will make you very comfortable...”

They laughed nastily.

While acting, Xia Yingluo panicked. She cleverly guarded her vital parts and retreated to the corner like a weak girl suffering from bullying. She stuttered. “You, don’t come over.”

She glanced at the director out of the corners of her eyes.

Something was wrong. The actors weren’t following the lines in the script. Although in the actual filming process, many actors would play according to their own understanding of the role, but in such sensitive scenes that required the actress to make some sexual sacrifices, they usually confirmed with the actress first to communicate well.

But they weren’t communicating at all. Normally, the director should shout “Cut!”.

But he didn’t.

As long as the director didn’t shout, the camera lens continued to run. Xia Yingluo was an actor, and her professionalism forced her to have no choice but to keep acting. What to do? She saw the few male actors rush up again, as if they weren’t going to back off until they took advantage of her. Xia Yingluo couldn’t help getting angry. They were ganging up to bully her?!

Fine, they wanted to be impromptu in their acting, then she’d join them too!

Xia Yingluo’s anger rose in her chest. She pretended to struggle and cried desolately. Her body fell sideways, but with one foot, she kicked fiercely at the crotch of the most obscene actor. The actor wailed miserably all of a sudden and collapsed onto the floor.

The sudden change in the scene shocked everyone.

Xia Yingluo curled up in the corner and was surrounded by the remaining actors. She flinched and was about to cry. However, while they were blocking the camera, she said in a low voice, “Whoever dares touch me will have their bloodline cut off.”

The murderous intention in her words frightened the actors.

They exchanged glances with each other. Didn’t the director say this little girl was easy to deal with? As long as they surrounded her, took off her clothes and did it in public, they could tell her that it was out of “dedication to art” at the end. What else could she do then? She could only cry and count herself unlucky! Unexpectedly, before even doing anything to her, one of their companions had already fallen!

Cut off their bloodline?

The companion fell onto the ground and groaned loudly in pain. They were really afraid of having their bloodline cut off.

For a while, a few male actors withdrew their hands and feet and really didn’t dare to go near Xia Yingluo. The scene in the camera lens became weird. The girl who had been forced to the corner was still cowering and frightened. However, all the “robbers” who should have been like wolves and tigers were all weak and dared not go forward.

The director finally shouted angrily, “Cut!”

Xia Yingluo heaved a sigh of relief. She pushed them away and yelled fiercely, “Get away from me!” Without waiting for them to say anything, she stomped aggressively to the director and questioned him, “Director, this isn’t in the script! Why did they try to touch me, why didn’t you stop them?!”

The director really gave the excuse of it being an “impromptu acting”. He rebuked. “This little girl, why aren’t you professional? How many actresses have not been touched before, why are you the only noble one? Why did you kick the actor, you’re just a little actress, how dare you act out of line. Be careful your reputation of unprofessionalism doesn’t spread, and no one would dare use you in the future!”

His words brought intimidation and threats and forced Xia Yingluo to submit.

If she had been a fledgling actress, she might have really been frightened. She would let them touch her and exploit her for fear of ruining her future. But who was Xia Yingluo? How could a young lady who had been spoiled since young endure the casual touch and exploitation of those wretched men?

She gritted her teeth and said, “Director, you are too double-standard. Why, you call it impromptu acting when they’re taking advantage of me, but when I resist, it’s called unprofessionalism? The script says that I have to scream and struggle, so what’s wrong with me struggling a little? I’ve only made the plot more intense, isn’t that good? Director, do you even know how to direct?”

The director was so stunned that he cursed. “Ridiculous! Do you still want to act!”

Xia Yingluo sneered coldly. “I actually don’t want to shoot anymore! Go and find whoever, I’m not doing it anymore!” She reached out and pushed away a few of the staff members, heading out.

“Stop there!” The director was furious. “You’re not filming anymore? You’re breaking the contract! Do you believe I’ll make sure you won’t be able to stay in this industry!”

Xia Yingluo turned and gave him a middle finger. Then, she turned and left without looking back.

Back in the training camp, she was still furious and went straight to the administration building to find the Dean. The Dean saw her and was surprised. “Xia Yingluo, didn’t you go to shoot a movie today, why haven’t you left?”

Xia Yingluo was furious. “Don’t mention it, I just came back. Dean, what kind of a lousy crew is that? They were intent on bullying me. A few men even tried to take advantage of me and the director didn’t even let them!”

After hearing what she said, the Dean’s face also changed.

He had been in the industry for a long time, so he had heard several unseeable things—once, an actress was deceived to shoot porn without her knowledge. Even when she realized something was wrong and kept crying and struggling, people only thought she was deep in the scene and forcibly finished the shoot. By then, the injury had already been caused and it was irreparable.

Xia Yingluo was a top student at Imperial Entertainment’s Training Camp and had a bright future.

Even if the school was stupid, it wouldn’t let the new stars who may become future pillars sell their bodies for their first shoot. There must be something wrong.

The Dean said, “You calm down, I’ll ask the crew to understand the situation.”

He immediately called the crew and negotiated the matter seriously. Then, he put down the phone and said to Xia Yingluo, “The other party said it was a misunderstanding. If you don’t want to shoot anymore, then don’t, they’ll settle it peacefully.”

Xia Yingluo was still mad. “Peaceful? Who knows what would have happened if I hadn’t been clever.”

The Dean has no other choice. “That’s what the outside crew is like. The peaceful termination of the contract is a very good result. Oh yes, Yingluo, have you offended anyone recently? Judging by their words, I think someone purposely instructed them to take revenge on you.”

Xia Yingluo was stunned. Offended someone? “Does Pei Yan and Zhao Yixuan count?”

The Dean said, “It’s unlikely to be them.” Xia Yingluo was fancied by Pei Ziheng. Even if outsiders didn’t know it, it had happened at the engagement banquet scene, so Pei Yan and Zhao Yixuan obviously knew it. If she still came to provoke Xia Yingluo so blatantly, then she was throwing away her brother’s chances of being the next heir.
