Chapter 152 Something Happened to the Crew
Of course, this was a joke; Ye Wanxi simply didn't want to be surrounded and treated like a monkey.
"The set design is fine, and those people didn't notice anything wrong either. We haven't found anything amiss yet."
Chen Debang breathed a sigh of relief, but then his face grew even more miserable.
The things that happened on set are true, and it's also true that Ye Wanxi didn't notice anything amiss. Could it be that the evil things on their set are so powerful that even the person in front of her can't detect them?
If that's the case, what should he do?
Chen Debang was lost in his own thoughts, his heart already feeling half-cooled.
Ye Wanxi was unaware of his inner thoughts. She pointed to an actress not far away and asked, "Who is this person?"
"Her? Oh, her name is Yao Jinwei, and she's the second female lead in our movie."
"Now? Wasn't it before?"
Although Chen Debang didn't quite understand why Ye Wanxi asked this, he still answered truthfully: "Initially, she was supposed to play the fourth female lead, but the actress who was supposed to play the second female lead broke her leg while attending an event and couldn't come."
Ye Wanxi and the other woman looked knowing; they had seen the news about this when they were having dinner at Qi Yingxuan's place.
"So you brought her in to play the second female lead?"
Chen Debang was a little embarrassed when he said this: "We did want to look for them at first, but those marketing accounts spread rumors and made our crew's reputation not very good, didn't they?"
Ye Wanxi and the other person exchanged a glance and understood.
Later, the production team's reputation wasn't very good, and some actors were afraid of getting into trouble if they joined the team, so they couldn't find anyone and some were taken advantage of.
A look of understanding flashed across Ye Wanxi's eyes. Originally, she was the fourth female lead, but because of all this mess, she became the second female lead.
At this rate, if we wait a little longer, the lead role might be within our grasp.
At this moment, the director suddenly brought in a beautiful girl and treated her so well, so it was only natural to assume that the girl was there to steal her future leading lady role.
No wonder they were so hostile towards her earlier; they only calmed down a bit after she explained that she wasn't there to film a movie.
Once Ye Wanxi understood this, she didn't care about her as much anymore.
With so many rumors circulating about this production crew, those who have stayed until now could be either unable to pay the breach of contract penalty, or they might be ambitious and want to use this incident to get in touch with Chen Debang.
After all, no matter how much you add flowers to brocade, it can't compare to providing charcoal in the snow.
Seeing that Ye Wanxi hadn't spoken for a while, Chen Debang sensed something was wrong and tentatively asked, "Is there something wrong with her?"
"No problem. Take me to see other places."
Chen Debang naturally had no objection to this, and personally took Ye Wanxi for a walk around the film set, but still did not find anything wrong.
Just then, the assistant director ran over and asked Chen Debang if filming could begin.
"You go ahead and get busy. I'm tired too, so I'll rest for a bit and see what the difference is between filming a movie and filming a TV series."
Since Ye Wanxi had already said that, Chen Debang didn't bother with formalities and followed the assistant director over.
Given that the female lead in the production was in a car accident and hospitalized just two days ago, and no replacement actress has been found yet, the production team is filming scenes today featuring the male lead and the second female lead, Yao Jinwei.
Chen Debang's film tells the story of the destruction of Earth, the migration of humanity to outer space, the various difficulties they overcome, and their eventual discovery of a habitable planet, thus saving the last surviving humans after the apocalypse and ushering in a new era.
The scene we're filming today is about humans on a spaceship encountering an unexpected attack in space and facing imminent danger.
The male protagonist, as the main force of the team, and his companions need to pilot small aircraft into battle to seek a chance of survival for everyone on the spaceship.
This mission is extremely dangerous; if things go wrong, we might never come back.
Therefore, the second female lead, who had always secretly loved the male lead, finally couldn't help but find him on the eve of her departure, and confessed her feelings to him, telling him that he must come back safely.
It must be said that Chan Tak-pong has a knack for casting.
The second female lead is portrayed as a shy and timid girl who is sometimes at a loss when faced with problems, but is also very kind and lovely.
Yao Jinwei is not very old and has not been formally trained, so her acting skills are somewhat lacking.
The male lead she was acting opposite happened to be a veteran actor who started as a child star, which made her a little flustered and at a loss when she accepted the role, but by chance, she fit the character's traits perfectly.
Ye Wanxi watched for a while and suddenly felt that something was not right. She looked up and her expression changed slightly.
Meanwhile, some of the staff members noticed the unusual situation above.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, he cried out urgently, "Watch out above!"
The roar startled everyone present, and only then did they notice the teetering projector above the two men's heads.
However, it was too late.
Upon hearing the sound, Yao Jinwei immediately looked up. In that brief moment, her reason was completely unable to guide her body to react correctly.
She just stared blankly as the projector light came down, bit by bit. It was only a matter of about a second, but it felt like a lifetime had passed.
Just when she thought she was about to follow in the footsteps of several senior members of the crew, getting injured or even endangering her life, something suddenly flew from the side and hit the falling projector lamp!
With a whoosh—
The dull thud of something colliding with the crisp sound of a projector lamp shattering mingled together, leaving everyone stunned and bewildered.
"What are you standing there for? Go and take a look!" Ye Wanxi rubbed her slightly sore wrist and looked at the crowd who were still standing there dumbfounded, and a rare hint of anger rose in her eyes.
Everyone then snapped out of their daze and rushed over to check on Yao Jinwei and the other person.
"Are you alright? Are you hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Yao Jinwei, her face deathly pale, was surrounded by the crowd. It took her a while to react. The first thing she did was turn her head and look at the broken projector lamp, where she saw a small wooden stool.
Following her gaze, everyone saw what was there.
"What's this? A stool? How come there's a stool here?"
"When the light just fell down, it felt like something suddenly flew over and knocked it away. Was that it?"
"Ah, I just saw it. It was thrown by the lady the director brought. I was stunned. Is she some kind of escaped martial arts master?"
"You know what, it's actually quite possible. I know her; she's in the industry. She even helped catch human traffickers when she was on a variety show before. Her skills are definitely professional. Besides, she knows that too. I suspect the director didn't bring her here just to broaden her horizons."
Which one is that?
"That's it!"
