Su Xun quickly got up and walked towards that direction.

"Assistant director, what's going on?" Su Xun asked, choosing the more approachable person.

"A female extra suddenly got injured. It was her scene to start, and she messed up at a crucial moment," the assistant director explained, his tone tinged with anxiety.

"Is it serious? How did you get injured?"

"I twisted my ankle, and it's swollen quite a bit. It looks like we can't film that dance scene anymore," the assistant director replied. "Where am I supposed to find female extras who can dance in this remote Northwest?"

"I'll go ask the other actors here to see who can dance." Seeing that even the usually mild-mannered assistant director was showing signs of becoming agitated, Su Xun quickly fled.

"Wait, Editor Su, I remember you studied dance, right?"

He used an affirmative tone.

Su Xun stopped in his tracks and nodded. He had mentioned this incident casually during a crew dinner.

"You were there when the dance teacher was instructing you, why don't you step in and save the day?"

Su Xun shook his head. "I'm afraid I'm not up to it."

She used to dance ballroom dance, but the script required an exotic ethnic dance, and she assured that her performance would have a strong Latin flavor.

"It's not easy to find someone these days, so you'll have to go and give it a try." The assistant director gave the order directly.

"All right."

During the day, she learned the moves from the crew's dance teacher, and filming officially began at nightfall.

She changed into her costume, and the makeup artist put on a wig and headdress for her, giving her an exotic look. When she stood up, she really looked like the character.

"Ms. Su, I never imagined this outfit would suit you so well." Makeup artist Xiao Liu looked on with satisfaction.

Su Xun spun around. Apart from her head being a little heavy, most of her clothes were made of sheer fabric, revealing her tight waist. The fiery red skirt was outlined with golden patterns.

"Your professional skills are truly outstanding."

"Can I take a photo with you? I'm quite happy with this outfit and want to save it."

"No problem." Su Xun and Xiao Liu stood together and took many photos before leaving, only when the stage manager urged them to.

The script was written by Su Xun, so she was very familiar with it. It was a trap. As a dancer, she was ordered to assassinate the Second Prince, who was on an inspection tour. She was the third male lead, but in the end, she was exposed and killed by the third male lead.

This dance is the highlight of tonight.

She danced according to the moves she practiced today, and had to do two takes because her eyes weren't right, but overall it was pretty good.

"Editor Su, I told you you'd be fine. Just edit your dance scenes properly in post-production, and they're likely to go viral." The assistant director ran over, laughing it off.

Everyone in the entertainment industry wants to break out of the industry and gain popularity. What does a small-time screenwriter like her need for popularity? It can't be converted into money anyway.

She wasn't required to do anything after that, so she told the director and left the film studio.

As soon as it got dark, the temperature dropped. She had brought a windbreaker with her when she went out in the morning, but it wasn't very effective against the cold wind of Northwest China.

The hotel was nearby, just a ten-minute walk away, and she planned to hurry back and take a hot shower.

Just as I took a step, my wrist was suddenly pulled into the darkness behind me by a strong force. My heart skipped a beat, and I was already on guard when I suddenly smelled that familiar woody scent, and my heart calmed down.

"You almost scared me half to death." Su Xun slapped away the large hand that was grabbing his wrist.

"I'm sorry, I only pulled you back because I saw you were leaving." He had been waiting outside the film studio, but it was too dark to see faces clearly. When he recognized the familiar figure in front of him as Su Xun, he pulled her back before she left.

How did you end up here?

Pei Ke has his own law firm in S City, which is a long way away from this small northwestern border town, requiring several hours to fly there.

I missed you, so I came over.
