Upon hearing this, Director Wang was greatly alarmed.

“You…” His expression was rather unpleasant.

Wang Minjing: "Director Wang, you're a man of high status, you must have a bad memory. Have you forgotten what happened with Guan Qi back then?"

Director Wang remained silent.

Guan Qi committed suicide because of disfigurement. Is she threatening him?

Director Wang said coldly, "Guan Qi is Guan Qi, and you are you. There's still hope for your reputation. I said I would give you a leading role, and I will."

"Is that so...?" Wang Minjing smiled sarcastically.

His promises are not to be taken seriously.

Director Wang paused for a moment and said, "If Guan Qi's face hadn't been disfigured back then, you wouldn't have had the opportunity to take the lead role, replace Guan Qi, and become a big star with that drama."

Wang Minjing was stunned for a moment, then left in a daze.

...

After Wang Minjing came out from Director Wang's place, everyone saw her and lowered their heads to whisper among themselves.

"Guess what Director Wang said when he called her in?"

"It's probably about getting her to leave the production crew."

"I think so. Her face is in such a state that she can't film at all. The crew is already rushing to meet the deadline, and they can't wait for her face to recover."

"She's really unlucky, I don't know who was so malicious as to slash her face."

"...Wasn't it because she wanted to sneak into Luo Xiaozhu's rest room? Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened."

"That's true."

Someone said, "But after all, the incident happened in Luo Xiaozhu's rest room. Do you think it might be related to Luo...?"

As soon as she finished speaking, someone next to her gave her a push, and when she looked up, she saw Wang Minjing standing in front of them.

She was taken aback, and an embarrassment immediately appeared on her face. The others had already lowered their heads and were looking at the scripts in their hands.

Wang Minjing went to the work area to pack her things.

People started whispering again.

"She was really... by Director Wang..."

"Shh... judging from her expression, it's pretty much true."

"I feel a little sorry for her."

As they talked, some people began to speculate whether Luo Xiaozhu really was raising a ghost.

"The idea of ​​raising a ghost child is a bit far-fetched; it's probably just a rumor spread by netizens."

"To be honest, the rag doll she brought was a bit eerie. It was fine during the day. But one time, when the crew finished work late, I went to the restroom and came back to find Luo Xiaozhu's rag doll sitting on a chair. I think I saw its eyes turn red."

"Is this for real? Are you sure it's not just because of the glare at night?"

"I don't know, but I felt really scared at the time because I felt like the doll was watching me..."

As everyone listened to her story, they inexplicably got goosebumps.

"To be honest, dolls and the like, especially at night, can be quite scary."

“I think so too. Once I was scared by the dolls my niece had on her bed, which is why I never buy dolls.”

"I am a paranoid person who easily overthinks things. Even when there is nothing wrong, I will create terrifying illusions for myself and scare myself half to death."

"Haha, me too."

The more they talked about ghosts and spirits, the more excited they became.

At this moment, someone noticed that He Qianqian was sitting there alone, silent and not participating in their discussion. It should be noted that He Qianqian was usually the most talkative person.

Lin Xia nudged her shoulder and said, "Hey, Qianqian, what's wrong? Why are you so distracted? Is it because you didn't act well and got scolded by the director?"

He Qianqian forced a smile and said, "Yes, I'm thinking about how I should act in this scene."

"It's okay. If you don't know, just go for a walk and think of some inspiration."

In the afternoon, He Qianqian was called over by Director Wang.

Everyone was startled.

They knew what this meant.

Is He Qianqian going to replace Wang Minjing in the third female lead role?

Because of her disfigurement, Wang Minjing is no longer able to play this role, even if she doesn't go insane.

After discussion, the production team decided to give the role of the third female lead to He Qianqian, who fits the character's image in the drama.

Regarding the director's decision, everyone was both envious of He Qianqian for getting such a great opportunity and sympathetic to Wang Minjing. They also saw the director's ruthlessness.

That evening, Luo Xiaozhu needed to film a scene involving wire work, so she tightened the ropes around her.

Over there, Director Wang was shouting into the walkie-talkie, "Props team, props team, have you checked everything? You must check it very carefully, there can't be any mistakes!"

The props team, who had checked the items several times, gave the director an OK sign.

Then, the steel cable slowly hoisted Luo Xiaozhu up.

Dressed in a white ancient costume and holding a long sword, Luo Xiaozhu's demeanor instantly became aloof and cold as she entered acting mode.

She faced the demons opposite her and flew quickly to fight them.

After a few rounds of fighting.

At that moment, the steel cable snapped suddenly.

Everyone below gasped in surprise.

Director Wang's eyes widened, and he quickly shouted, "Bring the mat over!"

Luo Xiaozhu's expression changed, and the safety cushion immediately moved over the moment she fell.

Luo Xiaozhu landed safely on the safety mat.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Luo Xiaozhu on the safety mat did not react at all.

The staff rushed over to check and found that there was a problem with the safety mat. It had a thin layer of sponge on top, but the inside was full of hard stones.

Luo Xiaozhu landed on it and was knocked unconscious. Her face was hit and scraped, but the most serious injury was to one of her legs, which was bleeding.

Everyone was shocked.

Director Wang's face was extremely grim, and he roared, "Who did this? Show yourself!"

He was furious. Ever since Guan Qi's incident, he had been extremely cautious about any wire work scenes.

The props were checked again and again, but in the end, something still went wrong.

"Quick! Quick! Call 120!" someone shouted.

Everyone frantically pulled out their phones to make calls.

No one saw a figure emerge from a dimly lit corner of the film set.

When Wang Minjing saw Luo Xiaozhu's serious injuries, a hint of pleasure flashed in her eyes.

Soon, Luo Xiaozhu was sent to the hospital, and news of her injury spread quickly.

Netizens were both surprised and astonished.

Fans are extremely worried.

[What happened? The bamboo was perfectly fine, how could it have been injured while filming?]

I heard it was because the wire used for the stunt work broke.

What were the film crew doing? Couldn't they have checked the steel cables a few more times beforehand?

Someone must be trying to harm our bamboo.

[Who did our bamboo plant offend? Such a huge problem has arisen so soon after it was introduced.]

This reminds me of Guan Qi, who I heard was disfigured in a wire stunt accident years ago.

[And that wire stunt accident also happened on Director Wang's film set.]

[He really is incorrigible. Back then, he caused Guan Qi to be disfigured and commit suicide because of a broken steel cable, and today he has caused Zhu Zi to be seriously injured.]
