Chapter 116: Address me as Your Teacher

When Nian noticed the evident disdain reflected in the eyes of several actors, she remained unfazed. Having maintained a low profile thus far, she saw no reason to address the matter further.

Regardless of the industry she found herself in, Wen Nian understood that competence and resilience were paramount. She recognized the need to demonstrate her adaptability before she could truly earn recognition and appreciation.

Xu Chang initiated the applause, and the rest followed suit, filling the room with the sound of clapping. With the initial enthusiasm, everyone delved into reading the script, eager to immerse themselves in its contents.

Wen Nian finally made her way back to the guest room at 1230 a.m., feeling the weight of exhaustion. In a rush, she quickly freshened up and eagerly climbed into bed, longing for a well-deserved rest.

The following day, at precisely 9:32 a.m., marked the moment Xu Chang had successfully enlisted someone to handle the calculations. With the ceremony executed promptly, filming commenced, officially signaling the start of the production.

Wen Nian was mainly filming a few scenes of Mu Ci being bullied in high school.

Mu Ci was born into an average family residing in a county. Tragedy struck when her father lost his life in a mining accident five years prior. His unfortunate demise occurred while working at an unscrupulous coal mine where he lacked even a formal employment contract. The mine boss, exploiting his authority, exerted undue influence over him. Consequently, all that was offered as compensation was a meager sum of 100,000 yuan, barely enough to send Mu Ci’s mother away.

Following the passing of Papa Mu, Mama Mu relied on the compensation money and her meager earnings from working as a hotel cleaner to sustain Mu Ci’s educational needs. It was a challenging endeavor for Mama Mu, but she persevered, doing her best to provide for Mu Ci’s schooling despite the financial constraints they faced.Following the passing of Papa Mu, Mama Mu relied on the compensation money and her meager earnings from working as a hotel cleaner to sustain Mu Ci’s educational needs. It was a challenging endeavor for Mama Mu, but she persevered, doing her best to provide for Mu Ci’s schooling despite the financial constraints they faced.

The opening scene portrayed Mu Ci, who had recently gained admission to a private high school, walking through the forest surrounding the school.

As Mu Ci heard the anguished cries of a girl coming from within, she swiftly approached the commotion. To her dismay, she discovered a group of five individuals encircling the scene. Within the circle, Mu Ci could make out a girl being forcefully pinned to the ground, while another girl, assuming a dominant position, was slapping the girl kneeling on the floor.

The small group, led by Bai Jing and Zhang Ju, had developed a tendency to bully their classmates. However, it was notable that their targets predominantly comprised academically proficient students hailing from underprivileged backgrounds or individuals with less assertive personalities, who were less inclined to confront them.

This perception was reinforced by the social rule they had observed throughout their upbringing: that regardless of a person’s resilience, they would ultimately yield to displays of power and physical aggression.

Mu Ci couldn’t turn a blind eye to the righteousness in her heart and tried to stop them.

During the previous semester, everyone had found themselves in trouble and faced reprimands from their families. Given this recent experience, they were able to discern that Mu Ci was someone who often stirred up trouble, and they didn’t want to exacerbate the situation. Nevertheless, they felt compelled not to simply dismiss the matter. They were willing to compromise if Mu Ci could kowtow and break her own arm.

This shocked Mu Ci. She vehemently resisted, summoning all her strength, as an overwhelming urge welled up within her to dismantle this malevolent force that had taken root.

Consequently, Mu Ci’s name was added to the bullies’ infamous blacklist, marking her as a target for their future acts of aggression and harassment.

Mu Ci stood her ground, watching intently as Chen Wei departed. She remained poised and resolute amidst the confines of the small forest. The gentle rays of sunlight filtered through the foliage, casting scattered patterns on her face. Her eyes reflected a fierce determination akin to that of a wolf, refusing to acknowledge defeat.

“Cut!”

With a clap of his hands, Xu Chang emerged from behind the monitor, exclaiming with excitement, “Bravo, everyone! Your performances were exceptional! This first scene was captured flawlessly in a single take, setting a fantastic tone for the entire project. Mu Ci, your portrayal of an unwavering spirit unyielding to power was particularly remarkable.”

This scene was not difficult for Wen Nian. Wen Nian imagined herself meeting the female boss when she first entered the prison.

The scene that had just unfolded triggered a flashback for Wen Nian, reminding her of a past incident. She recollected a time when Wei Xiao and Huang Yue paid a female boss in prison to inflict a torment far surpassing Mu Ci’s present circumstances.

The assistant proceeded forward, holding the trash can, while Wen Nian, following the script, expelled the contents of the blood packet from their mouth.

Upon noticing the red marks on Wen Nian’s wrist, Wu Gang approached Wen Nian and offered his apology. “Wen Nian, I’m sorry. I realize now that I may have exerted too much force when grabbing you earlier. It was unintentional.”

Wen Nian smiled nonchalantly. “It’s fine. It’s better to be real.”

Lin Yun also surrounded her and said in surprise, “Mu Ci, you don’t look like you’re acting for the first time. I feel like I’m really seeing the characters in the script.”

Xu Chang nodded in agreement. “That’s why I insisted on using her!”

Bai Jing cast a disdainful glance at Wen Nian, convinced that she must have been bribed by the director or the investors. In Bai Jing’s perspective, how else could a person of humble origins like Wen Nian secure such an opportunity? This assumption, however, unfairly undermined both Wen Nian’s talent and the baseless speculation that she had relied on her body to advance in her career.

Xu Chang then filmed another short scene of the other actors. Then, it was time for lunch.

Despite having already memorized her lines, Wen Nian intended to utilize the lunch break to delve deeper into the script she was scheduled to film later in the afternoon. With that in mind, she sought out a secluded corner where she could sit and quietly immerse herself in reading while enjoying her meal.

Shen Jun brought Wen Xing back from the hospital for treatment. After applying the medicinal wine and preparing lunch, he came to visit the set. He only saw Wen Nian after glancing around.

He walked forward.. “What happened to your hand?!”
