Qu Dan’s expression changed.
It became very sharp.
She stepped back two paces, looking earnestly at Chen Feng and said, “How will you truly hit me? With the same force as that slap this morning. Tell me, how can I make you cast aside your worries?”
Chen Feng didn’t make a sound.
He just looked at her indifferently.
Qu Dan gritted her teeth in anger.
It seemed this guy was determined not to cooperate.
First, she would ask the director.
Qu Dan turned her head, walked to a corner, took out her phone, and messaged Ma Jun, explaining the current situation.
A moment later.
Ma Jun replied with a message: “Keep talking. Just tell him that as long as he agrees to hit you for real, we can sign an agreement. We will absolutely not pursue accountability afterward, nor will we make a big deal out of it. We can even pay a certain consultation fee.”
Qu Dan was stunned.
No matter how she thought about it, it felt awkward.
Strongly begging someone to hit herself, and then not pursuing accountability afterward, not making a big deal out of it, and even being able to give him a certain consultation fee?
Paying money for someone to hit herself?
To be brutally abused?
Was she being a masochist?
But there was no other way.
Who told her she was grouped with him?
Who told her she drew a domestic violence theme?
In fact, as long as Chen Feng hit her for real, her performance would be twice as effective with half the effort.
It would be a huge bonus.
And the success rate of advancing would be extremely high.
After all, the one hitting needs to consider that boundary.
So…
Qu Dan gritted her teeth.
She walked towards Chen Feng once more.
Coming before him, she looked at Chen Feng and whispered, “Chen Feng, if you have concerns, we can sign an agreement.”
Chen Feng blinked: “What agreement?”
“A non-accountability agreement.”
Qu Dan whispered, “We’ll officially sign an agreement. For the sake of achieving the most perfect effect during the live broadcast, you must hit me for real.”
“It doesn’t matter even if you injure me.”
“Afterward, I will absolutely not pursue accountability, and I will absolutely not make a big deal out of it.”
“If you don’t believe me, I can even pay you a certain consultation fee, as long as you agree to hit me for real during the live broadcast.”
Chen Feng silently looked at Qu Dan, then suddenly asked, “Is this your dedication to art?”
“That’s right.”
Qu Dan immediately nodded: “Have you forgotten What is an Actor? I am an Actor, especially a female lead now. What is the purpose of me participating in this variety show? Naturally, it’s to present my most authentic self to the audience. Isn’t that right? Dedication to art, I am duty-bound and have no regrets.”
“How great.”
Chen Feng shook his head and sighed: “Compared to you, I’m more mundane. Alright, let me ask one more question, how much is the consultation fee you mentioned?”
Qu Dan: “…”
Damn it!
He still wanted money.
MD!
What was wrong with me just now?
I actually misjudged him.
I even thought this guy was a deeply emotional person.
Even physically and physiologically, there was a tiny reaction.
In the end, this guy was just a timid person who only cared about money?
A mere extra.
Qu Dan suppressed the urge to curse, gritting her teeth and saying, “How about a consultation fee of twenty thousand yuan?”
“Not enough.”
Chen Feng actually shook his head: “If you regret it and sue me, twenty thousand yuan won’t even cover the litigation fees. Do you take me for a fool?”
Qu Dan: “…”
She almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Holy crap!
I’m truly embarrassed.
To actually be moved by a vulgar person like you.
Qu Dan asked irritably, “Then how much more do you want? Do you dare to ask for a million?”
“Heh heh, a million is not needed.”
Chen Feng smiled: “Eighty-eight thousand, it’s auspicious. At least it’s definitely enough for litigation fees.”
Qu Dan squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: “I told you, I guarantee with my character that I will absolutely not pursue accountability afterward…”
“Eighty-eight thousand, agree then sign the agreement.”
Qu Dan: “…”
The flesh on her face twitched.
She quickly calmed down, then finally nodded: “Okay, eighty-eight thousand, sign the agreement. Chen Feng, I’m telling you, if you sign the agreement and then go back on your word, you’ll have to compensate me eight hundred and eighty thousand.”
“Okay.”
Chen Feng smiled: “I am a law-abiding person, don’t worry.”
Qu Dan: “…”
She really wished the plot was reversed.
How good would it be if the man was domestically abused by the woman?
She definitely wouldn’t hold back.
…
Twenty minutes later.
Qu Dan returned from outside.
She held an agreement in her hand.
It was prepared for her by Ma Jun.
At the same time, he gave her eighty-eight thousand.
The two of them signed the agreement away from the camera crew.
The transfer was done on the spot.
After receiving the money, Chen Feng silently returned to the chair in the corner and sat down.
He looked at the script.
It was as if nothing had just happened.
Qu Dan held the agreement.
She felt a bit strange inside.
What was this called?
To let someone beat herself up, she even signed an agreement.
And spent eighty-eight thousand?
Paying money to be beaten.
It would make people laugh their heads off if word got out.
But for her future, it was worth it.
Tonight, she might even trend.
“What is an Actor” live broadcast, a contestant violently beats the female participant in front of the live camera, causing indignation and sympathy among the national audience.
Thus, the abuser is eliminated, cyberbullied, and cursed out of the entertainment industry.
The abused person successfully advances.
Even gaining a group of sympathetic fans.
Perfect!
Qu Dan slowly smiled again.
She was beaming with joy.
…
Time flew by.
In a flash, the afternoon passed.
The show was about to begin.
All actors were in position, all staff members were in position.
The Yan Jing Grand Theater was magnificent and splendid.
Three heavyweights from the Beijing Circle were present as judges and mentors.
One was the actor Tong Gege, one was the greasy Teacher Huang from Yan Film Academy, and another was the rogue director Jiang Wen, invited with a hefty sum.
Plus Liu Tianchi.
Four heavyweight big names served as judges.
The Yan Jing competition area garnered extremely high attention.
The live broadcast format was eye-catching.
Prime time at 8 PM.
As soon as the time came, the broadcast started on schedule.
The scene was unprecedentedly grand.
After the host’s brief opening remarks, the main competition immediately began.
Due to the large number of participants in the advancement round.
Therefore, the time for each group’s competition was very short, just one segment, and then after the judges watched, they would comment a few words and directly adopt a judge elimination system.
Four judges, three votes to pass.
If it was a 2-2 tie, then it would be temporarily reserved.
After all matches were over, those who tied would be re-mixed and re-compete in another match.
A very simple competition system.
Thus, the advancement round began.
Chen Feng and Qu Dan’s performance was in the middle to late section.
The two of them watched the monitor in the small rehearsal room, which displayed the live broadcast footage, allowing them to observe the performances of other contestants.
Chen Feng had been quietly watching the competition.
But Qu Dan was anxious.
She occasionally glanced at Chen Feng, fearing that he would not hit her again once they were on stage.
So, in this state of apprehension, the time finally came to the moment just before the two of them were to go on stage.
When a staff member came to inform them to prepare to go on stage, Qu Dan’s heart rate immediately went through the roof. At the moment of leaving the door, she grabbed Chen Feng, lowering her voice and saying, “Chen Feng, you won’t go back on your word, will you?”
“Don’t worry, I really don’t have eight hundred and eighty thousand to compensate you.”
Chen Feng replied indifferently, turned around, and walked out directly.
Behind him.
Qu Dan also took a deep breath.
She touched her face.
Fortunately, the swelling had almost subsided.
With some makeup, it should not be noticeable.
Let’s go!
The moment of destiny had arrived.
