Chapter 187: fell down the steps

Chapter 187 Falling down the steps

 In the afternoon, the studio started work on time.

Although the male and female protagonists are not present at the scene, we cannot just go on strike.

Scene construction and venue rental cost money every minute and every second.

 If you can’t film the scenes of the male and female protagonists, then you can film other actors’ scenes.

 “Where’s the actress who plays Princess Jin’an? Why isn’t she here?”

At this time, no one dared to offend the director, who had a dark face. In the end, Wei Minmin stepped forward to save the situation, "Director Wei, you forgot, Lin Xuefei took a few days off to make other announcements."

 “Not back yet?”

 The staff on the side quickly replied: "Count the days, I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

 Now I can only film the harem scenes first.

 Unfortunately, there are two scenes involving Qing Yuan.

Wei Xiao originally wanted Jiang Xiyu to stop filming for a day to get a good feel for it, so as to save time and make frequent mistakes like in the morning.

Now all I can do is catch up and continue filming, "Call Jiang Xiyu over, and I'll talk to her about the scene first."

 The staff on the side quickly got up and called for someone.

 But after a while, he came back with a grimace.

 “Where are the people?”

"The director only found Jiang Xiyu's assistant. Her assistant said that Jiang Xiyu asked for her cell phone and left, but he didn't let her follow him. He didn't come back for lunch at noon. He answered the call but didn't let the assistant go. Excuse her, her assistant doesn’t know what to do right now.”

Wei Xiao was immediately laughed out of anger.

“I just said a few words to her in the morning, but I can’t bear it anymore. I can’t say anything about her poor acting. How can she be an actor with such a fragile mentality?”

Assistant director Lin, who was sitting in the back, quietly shrank his head.

“Go and ask her assistant to call her, or get out if she doesn’t come over!”

 Just waiting for Wei Xiao to see Jiang Xiyu again and see what she looked like now, he was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Xiyu was still wearing the same costume he had worn in the morning. There were a few streaks of dust on the hem of his clothes. The makeup on his face didn't look like it was just for the hot weather. The makeup on his face looked fierce. The ground looked several times more haggard.

Not to mention the depression all over his body, it made him wonder if he was really too venomous.

Looking at her like this, Wei Xiao didn't dare to say any harsh words anymore, and he could even hear a bit of gentleness when he was telling the story.

But the effect didn't seem to be very obvious. His mouth was dry as he spoke. When he raised his head, he saw Jiang Xiyu's eyes were straight and wandering. He didn't seem to have listened to what he just said. He suddenly felt angry. Climb upwards.

“Jiang Xiyu, did you listen to me?”

Jiang Xiyu came back to her senses and looked at Wei Xiao's staring eyes, "Director, I want..." She swallowed and gritted her teeth and said, "I want to take a leave."

“You can ask for leave if you want. If you hire a fake person, will I still be able to film the scene?”

“Didn’t Lin Xuefei also ask for leave?”

“That’s because she has other work, and there are no scenes scheduled for her these days, so I agreed. Can you two do the same?”

Jiang Xiyu knew that asking for leave was not an option.

She wanted to concentrate, but the phone call she made before and what her aunt said before hanging up echoed in her ears almost nonstop, and she couldn't forget it even if she tried desperately.

Even the heart and nerves are in a state of contraction all the time, and the cold sweat on the back keeps pouring out. By now, I am scared to death and exhausted.

 She shook her head feebly, "I won't invite you."

Half an hour later, watching another car heading to the hospital, Wei Xiao couldn't help but reflect. When arranging today's scene, he should have looked at the almanac in advance.

 Isn’t today not suitable for filming at all?

Just five minutes ago, what was originally being filmed was just a very ordinary short scene. Emperor Yuan Zhao was unable to escape from the busy government affairs of the previous dynasty, so he ordered the palace maid Qingyuan around him to send some treasures and playthings from surrounding small countries to the Queen Mother as a sign of filial piety.

This time it was mainly a rivalry scene between Jiang Xiyu and Sheh Man. I don’t know if it was because Jiang Lingxi was not present, but Jiang Xiyu’s performance was quite satisfactory, at least he didn’t make any mistakes. Needless to say about She Man, the standard of the actress has always been there.

Until Qing Yuan, played by Jiang Xiyu, finished delivering her things and left Cuiwei Palace where the Queen Mother lived. When she was going down the steps, she suddenly missed the step and rolled down the next few steps, unable to move on the spot.

It can only be pulled away to cure the wound, and the false must be approved.

Wei Xiao is still a bit superstitious. The crew actually had two accidents in one day. He had no intention of continuing filming and directly announced that today's filming was over. The originally planned night scene was also cancelled.

When the actors went back to remove their makeup and the staff began to dismantle the equipment and props, he walked alone to the step where Jiang Xiyu fell before, and even touched it with his hands.

 “This isn’t slippery either!”

You can actually fall down on such a step, which only proves that Jiang Xiyu is really unlucky this time.

   *

After finally completing all the examinations and having lunch in a ward that was more like a hotel suite, Jiang Lingxi first saw Lu Zhengzheng, who rushed over after getting the news, and then received a message from Wei Minmin.

 There are three items in total.

 Item 1: "How do you feel now? Have you found out the cause of vomiting blood?"

Article 2: "While filming, Jiang Xiyu stepped on the stairs and broke his leg. He was just sent to the hospital."

Item 3: "Uncle, he may feel that today is not a good time to film. The filming here on the set has ended early. Which hospital are you going to? I will go over to see you after I take off my makeup."

 When she saw the second item, Jiang Lingxi put down her chopsticks and raised her eyebrows.

 I lost my footing and fell off the steps and broke my bones. Was it an accident, intentional, or a backlash?

 If it was the second possibility, then Jiang Xiyu would be quite cruel to him.

 After she replied the message, she heard Lu Zhengzheng grinding his teeth quietly at the side.

 Looking over, I saw that the girl's eyes were red again.

 “Don’t cry.”

Lu Zhengzheng took a deep breath and held it in, "Sister Xixi, was it Jiang Xiyu who made you vomit blood?"

Jiang Lingxi was able to confirm that Jiang Xiyu was definitely not a warlock, but the matter was indeed related to Jiang Xiyu.

 She nodded, and before Lu Zhengzheng could speak, she told her the latest news from the crew that she had just received: "Jiang Xiyu should quit the crew."

"Huh?" Lu Zhengzheng was still thinking about how to get revenge and go back, but she was stunned when she heard this.

“She has a broken leg and won’t be able to walk normally for at least a month. The crew won’t wait for her for that long.”

Lu Zhengzheng thought the same thing, but still couldn't get angry, "That would be an advantage for her, and another actor would have to be found for the role of Qing Yuan."

Jiang Lingxi smiled. Without the help of the warlock named Master Mei behind him, if Jiang Xiyu still wanted to deal with her, he would have to weigh his own weight first.

Although she is no longer the emperor, she is not someone who can be plotted by just any cat or dog.

Especially if you use this kind of heresy, you must be prepared for it to be counterattacked.

 As for the actor who plays Qing Yuan...

Wei Xiao is also troubled by this problem at the moment. After Jiang Xiyu was sent to the nearest hospital, he was diagnosed with a moderate fracture of his calf. He will have to undergo treatment for a period of time and will not be able to return to the set to continue filming. With so many people on the crew, it was impossible to stop the production just to wait for her.

He has already asked Assistant Director Lin to go to the hospital to talk to someone about terminating the cooperation. At the same time, he has also begun to quietly look for a candidate to play Qing Yuan.

 But so many things happened one after another today that he had no idea for a while.
