Chapter 134: The Role Adaptability is Quite High
Chapter 134
The assistant director was overjoyed and quickly handed a script to Jing Yi. She took the script and walked to the stairwell where they were filming.
Meanwhile, the assistant director still needed to discuss payment with Jing Zejun. Jing Zejun smiled and said, "After the director confirms, I'll talk to the agent and have her negotiate." He certainly didn't want his sister to get shortchanged.
On the other side, Jing Yi had already gotten a general understanding of the role she was to play.
The character's name was Chen Xiaoxiao, a tiny girl true to her name, who had been suffering from school bullying until one day when she eliminated her tormentors one by one...
There were two particularly important scenes - one where she deals with the bullies, and another where she confronts the male and female leads.
Jing Yi's eyes flickered slightly, as if revealing something.
"How is it? Anything you don't understand?" Jing Zejun came over, worried that Jing Yi might find it difficult.
Jing Yi let out a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across her face, dimples showing. "Let's give it a try." The character actually seemed quite fitting.
Jing Zejun nodded, gently patting her head. "Don't force yourself. If you don't like it, we won't do it." Unlike herself, who truly loved this profession, Jing Yi's aspirations lay elsewhere.
"Don't worry!"
The director had already walked over. "Shall we start now?"
Jing Yi nodded, "Mm-hmm."
This was Jing Yi's first time acting, with so many people around. She crouched in the corner, closed her eyes, and dredged up buried memories.
'Unwanted child, Jing Yi is an unwanted child.'
'Jing Yi, where's your money? Oh, I forgot, you don't have parents to give you pocket money.'
'Go! Tie her up and throw her in the toilet, damn mad dog, daring to bite me!'
"Not happy? Tell your parents to come find me, hahaha!"
The director signaled the supporting actor to approach. A boy in a school uniform quickly changed his expression and kicked Jing Yi in the corner.
"Hey! Chen Xiaoxiao, why are you hiding so well?"
Jing Yi, crouched in the corner, flinched. She looked very frightened, her whole body trembling non-stop.
"We're all classmates, what's wrong with taking a look?" The supporting actor kept provoking Jing Yi, about to reach out and pull at her clothes.
Suddenly, Jing Yi raised her hand to block him, standing up. Her bright almond eyes were still there, but now they held a hint of coldness.
A laugh escaped her throat, sounding particularly eerie in the abandoned stairwell.
The director stood to the side with folded arms, suddenly pausing, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
This Jing Yi was quite interesting.
The supporting actor seemed angered by her resistance and raised his hand to hit her. Jing Yi's expression remained unchanged as she calmly tilted her head to dodge, quickly striking out at the other's head.
However, she stopped just before making contact. The opposite actor understood and acted as if heavily struck, falling to the ground.
Jing Yi walked over and began hitting repeatedly, until finally picking up a foam brick and violently striking the back of his head.
Jing Yi's pale hand caressed where the actor should have had wounds, as if blood was flowing there, seemingly enjoying the metallic scent permeating the air.
She murmured, "That's right, what's wrong with taking a look? I'd like to take a look at your brain too, see what's different..."
Jing Yi's voice echoed around, making the surrounding actors and staff shudder. Even Shen Xi tightly gripped Jing Zejun's arm.
Was this still her lively and adorable best friend?
As the audition ended, Jing Yi blinked, returning to her usual self, smiling as she helped the actor on the ground to his feet.
Acting like this actually made Jing Yi feel quite satisfied. If only she had started learning boxing in her early teens, none of those people back then would have escaped.
The supporting actor looked somewhat afraid. Jing Yi thought she might have accidentally hurt him and hurriedly asked, "Did I hit you just now?"
She shouldn't have - she had made sure to pull her punches at the last moment.
The supporting actor quickly shook his head. He wasn't scared of her fists, he was terrified by Jing Yi's eyes! He really thought for a moment that Jing Yi was about to tear his head open with her bare hands!
Unlike the others, the director's eyes were full of delight. "Get her changed and made up! We're filming this scene right away!"
Before Jing Yi could react, she was already being pulled away by an assistant.
Wen Qingyan watched her retreating figure. "Jing Yi is quite impressive."
However, when it comes to acting skills, either she truly had a talent for acting, or art often imitates life...
Jing Zejun was also surprised, not expecting Jing Yi to give him such a big surprise.
Jing Yi only had two scenes in total, with the climax being her confrontation with the male and female leads. The makeup artist touched up Jing Yi's makeup - now she looked pale, with blood on her lips, smiling even more like a yandere girl.
The surrounding staff and actors were all secretly looking forward to this scene.
Filming officially began. In the script, the male and female leads needed to uncover the truth behind their classmate's disappearance and prevent the killer from striking again in order to leave.
To stop Chen Xiaoxiao from acting again, the male lead Shen Ji engaged in a confrontation with her.
Chen Xiaoxiao licked the blood at the corner of her mouth, smiling playfully. "Why? Why don't you ask those people why they didn't leave me alone?"
Seeming to recall something, Chen Xiaoxiao's lips curved upward, her eyes innocent. "Oh right, they can't speak anymore..."
Chen Xiaoxiao looked at the trembling boy hiding behind Shen Ji, letting out a light sigh. It was a pity - give her a few more seconds and she could have finished off the last one.
"Shen Ji, give me the person behind you. This doesn't concern you."
Shen Ji moved half a step, completely shielding the person. Tang Tang also moved to protect the person behind her.
They couldn't hand over the person now, or they might never be able to leave this stairwell.

"What? You want to protect him?" Shen Ji's gaze flashed with reluctance. "Xiaoxiao, we can use other methods..."
Chen Xiaoxiao laughed as if she'd heard the funniest joke ever, laughing so hard she even wiped tears from her eyes.
"What methods? Call the police? Tell the teachers? Or the parents? Shen Ji, I can't even leave this stairwell now. Tell me, what should I do?"
Shen Ji lowered his head slightly, his gaze filled with shame.
Chen Xiaoxiao didn't let him off, her eyes still fierce. "Tell me! What exactly should I do to resolve this?!"
She seemed to get more excited as she spoke. "If I'd known you had other methods, I wouldn't have acted. You know what? They all shut up in this stairwell, every single one of them, without exception..."
Suddenly, she stopped smiling, her gaze filled with hatred as she looked at the person behind Tang Tang. "Except for him!"
Conflict flashed in Shen Ji's eyes as he looked back at the person behind him. Seeming to sense Shen Ji's hesitation, the male classmate shook his head frantically in fear.
"Save me! Save me! I was just joking with her! It was just a joke!"
