The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 279

Su Yang hadn't thought Qin Wei would ask him this question, so he was also stunned. After thinking for a while, he said:

"I don't have the experience of having children, I don't have this function... But I studied clinical medicine as an undergraduate, although it's not exactly relevant, I do know some things."

"Awesome, Su Yang!"

Qin Wei applauded for him,

"Then can you help me see what's wrong? At the beginning of this year I often had headaches and insomnia, and when it got serious I would also feel palpitations and nausea... It got better later, but when I'm very tired sometimes I feel chest tightness and difficulty breathing..."

"Go to the hospital for a checkup."

Su Yang scratched his head, somewhat awkwardly,

"I'm just a student, I don't have a medical license, and in terms of my research direction, the probability of encountering living people is not very high..."

...

Su Yang walked over, and came back looking very disappointed in less than a minute, and sat down.

Didn't say a word.

"Let me guess what she said."

Qin Wei held an ice pack on her head with one hand, and held a cup of milk tea in the other, drinking it. Seeing Su Yang's frustrated look, she knew he had been rejected after trying to ingratiate himself,

"Qiao Sixiao must have said 'Get lost, do I need you to tell me? After so many years of acting, was it all for nothing? Do I need you to direct me? Who are you? Get out of here.' Am I right? I bet 500 yuan, that's exactly what she said."

Su Yang: "She said no need, thank you."

"Oh."

...

Everything was prepared, Director Jiang went over again to confirm before starting the shoot.

When the convoy escorted the Imperial Noble Consort to the small courtyard, her face was already very bad. The guards were standing outside, while the accompanying maidservants and her wet nurse stayed inside the room, preparing for the childbirth.

The childbirth scene took a long and agonizing time to shoot, and many people present were moved to tears, although they knew how the storyline would develop, but because the actors acted so realistically, everyone seemed to be on tenterhooks, until that cry of the baby, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The maidservant carried the child to her. At this time Jiang Xin was barely conscious, but when she saw the child, her eyes seemed to regain some luster. She raised her hand to touch the baby's little hand, then entrusted him to the most trusted guard of the Crown Prince.

...

"Cut!"

After Director Jiang said that, he used a tissue to wipe his nose. He needed to calm his emotions a little, he was so satisfied with this part, it was performed straight to his heart.

Qin Wei also wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Watching it made her very upset, ever since she knew this role would soon pass away, she had felt indignant.

She turned to look at Su Yang, he had his mouth covered, with big teardrops falling down.

Qin Wei asked him:

"Are you heartbroken for her, or moved by the greatness of a mother's love?"

Su Yang raised his arm, there was an obvious bruise on it. He wiped away his tears, and when he spoke his voice carried undisguised grievance:

"She was giving birth, and you kept pinching me. I was afraid of making any noise that would disrupt her acting emotions, so I endured it without saying anything.

Qin Wei, she was giving birth, why did you have to pinch so hard..."

Qin Wei: "Oh I'm so sorry, I thought I was pinching the armrest of the chair the whole time..."

Su Yang: "( ??)..."

...

"Sis, you worked hard..."

Qiao Sixiao's assistant Xiaowang was the first to go over after the shoot, handing her tissues and water, but Qiao Sixiao clearly didn't have much energy. She took the tissue and wiped her tears, but remained silent sitting on the bed.

Even through the screen you could feel her low mood.

Pointing at the monitor, Director Jiang said:

"Got too absorbed in the role, having trouble getting out of this mood for now. One of you go comfort her a bit..."

Actors may look glamorous on the surface, but in reality they also have mental stress. To portray a role, they have to open themselves up and become that character, but whether they can get out of it afterwards, and how long it takes, varies from person to person.

In the industry, there are indeed many actors who get too emotionally invested in their roles and have difficulty detaching. Most of those actors who sink into their characters eventually find their way out through self-adjustment and support from family and friends, but there are also extreme cases, who sink into depression ever since.

"Let me go take a look."

Su Yang got up, but was grabbed by Qin Wei,

"When she's in a good mood she doesn't even acknowledge you, if you go over now you'll just add to her troubles..."

"Maybe I should go see..."

Qin Wei threw the ice pack to Su Yang, and walked over. On the way she touched her forehead, the swelling had gone down but it still hurt quite a bit.

When she got there, Qiao Sixiao was still crying softly. She looked very hurt, originally slim to begin with, now looking even more slender and fragile in her helpless state, it made Qin Wei feel bad just looking at her. Qiao Laoshi is really dedicated in her acting, but the price of dedication is emotional damage to herself.

"I really envy 'expressionless' actors, they don't need to get into emotions, just be an unfeeling reading machine, can earn money without effort..."

Qin Wei sighed, then sat down in front of Qiao Sixiao.

She took the tissue from the assistant's hand and gently wiped away Qiao Sixiao's tears, while saying to her:

"Your son has been safely delivered to the Imperial City, being taken care of by your aunt. He grew up healthy, with chubby round cheeks and bright lively eyes, really adorable. Although it's regrettable you can't be with him as he grows up, I'm here. I love him very much, always treating him like my own son..."

Since she had sunk into a depressed mood from getting too absorbed in her role, at this moment she must be thinking of herself as Jiang Xin. As a mother, what she would be most concerned about and reluctant to part with, would be this child.

Qiao Sixiao leaned her head on Qin Wei's shoulder, crying even harder.

"Go ahead and cry..."

Qin Wei patted her back, letting her soak half of her shoulder with tears.

After crying it out, her emotions gradually calmed down. Qin Wei handed her tissues, then said to her:

"You're such a crybaby, fragile and easily crushed. This vulnerable version of Qiao Laoshi is just a limited summer edition right... You soaked my 3,000 yuan Gucci T-shirt. Pay me back."

Qiao Sixiao glared at her while wiping away her tears.

Qin Wei asked for her phone from the assistant, unlocked it herself and opened the transfer app, input the amount then let her enter the password, while lecturing her:

"Glaring at me is useless. Although this shirt was a PR gift from the brand, the market price is 1,605 yuan. I'm asking 3,000 from you because this is a limited edition and I really like this piece!"

Qiao Sixiao grabbed back the phone and pressed the lock button:

"Don't have ideas about my money! Raise my son? You're too absorbed in your role! That's not my son or your son!!!"

Looking at her slender, beautiful fingers, Qin Wei said in a delicate, affected tone:

"At my status, why would I wash clothes... I never wear private clothes a second time..."

"Nonsense, I've seen you washing that green banana shirt in the bathroom more than once."

"That's a duck! (#`n ?)"

"Banana."

"Duck! Use your eyes properly! Don't try to change the subject, give me the money, and I still have to raise your son for you, 100,000 monthly child support!"

Saying that, Qin Wei tried to grab the phone again.

Qiao Sixiao hid the phone behind her back and pushed Qin Wei hard:

"Don't covet my money! Raise my son? You're too absorbed in your role! That's not my son or your son!!!"

In just half an hour, the crew went from sad, to shocked, to eating melon, to pondering whether this segment should go into the bloopers, and how much traffic it could bring to the drama, and so on.

Only Director Jiang remained seated in front of the monitor, sobbing.

He never expected that the only one who couldn't snap out of it was Director Jiang...
