There's a problem with the script in Chapter 153.
Another accident occurred on set, and Ye Wanxi's identity could no longer be kept secret.
At the time of the incident, Chen Debang was quite far away, and by the time he arrived at the two men's side, everyone was already discussing it.
He stared at the broken projector lights scattered on the floor, his face so dark it looked like ink could be squeezed out.
"How could the projector lamp suddenly fall down? Where are the props team? What happened? Is this how you check props?"
The two staff members in charge of setting up the props in this area changed their expressions when they heard Chen Debang say this. They said aggrievedly, "Director, we checked all the props in this area before filming started, and there are absolutely no problems."
"If there's no problem, how could it fall down? Tell me the truth, who's responsible for this light? Were there any problems before this? If you tell the truth now, we can settle this privately. But once I call the police, it won't be a joke."
"This..." The two staff members were surrounded by the crew and looked completely at a loss.
"This has nothing to do with them."
The sudden sound successfully diverted everyone's attention from the two staff members.
Chen Debang was also taken aback. Looking at Ye Wanxi, who had walked over at some point, he frowned and said, "Miss Ye, you..."
"This has nothing to do with them; it was just an accident."
"But……"
"No buts." Ye Wanxi interrupted Chen Debang, pointing to the two actors who had just escaped unscathed, "You two and Director Chen, come with me."
"Us?" Yao Jinwei and the male lead exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion and surprise in each other's eyes.
Ye Wanxi took a few steps forward, then, as if remembering something, added, "Oh, right, bring your scripts with you too."
"Director Chen?" Yao Jinwei looked at Ye Wanxi's departing figure and then asked Chen Debang.
"Do as she says." Chen Debang said this and took the lead in chasing after her.
Since the director had spoken, Yao Jinwei and her companion didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly followed, leaving a group of people full of questions and discussing among themselves.
Ye Wanxi led the group directly into the nearest lounge.
"Is this house safe? Are there any hidden cameras or listening devices?"
Chen Debang's heart skipped a beat, sensing that Ye Wanxi might have discovered something. He quickly said, "It's safe, absolutely safe. Did you find something?"
"We have indeed found some clues, but they need to be verified."
"How do I verify it?"
Ye Wanxi shifted her gaze and landed on the two actors: "We might need your help to coordinate."
"What do you want us to...do?"
Where is your script?
"Here it is." Yao Jinwei hurriedly handed over the script. After being rescued and escaping a disaster, her attitude towards Ye Wanxi was obviously much better than before.
Ye Wanxi took the script, glanced at it, circled the scene the two had just acted out, and handed it back.
"Please reenact this scene again, but you don't need to read the lines like you did in front of the camera just now."
Yao Jinwei took the script and looked at Chen Debang for his opinion.
"Do whatever she says"
"oh."
In this confession scene, most of the dialogue is delivered by Yao Jinwei.
Yao Jinwei took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Ye, I like you. I've liked you ever since you saved me from those demons."
As Yao Jinwei recited her lines, the atmosphere in the room gradually became somewhat awkward.
Gao Min rubbed her arms together and muttered softly, "Why do I suddenly feel a little cold?"
She shouldn't have said anything, because once she did, Chen Debang also felt a bit cold. It was clearly very sunny outside before he came into the house, and he felt hot even though he was wearing an extra jacket.
Yao Jinwei's lines continued: "I know you've always only seen me as a younger sister. You don't need to feel pressured because of that. I've never expected you to like me, let alone that we could be together someday. The reason I mustered up the courage to tell you this today is just that I hope you can take good care of yourself this time. Remember that there's someone in this base who's always waiting for you to come back safely."
As the last word fell, Yao Jinwei suddenly felt a chill run through her body, making her shiver uncontrollably.
The feeling was as if something cold, like vines, was tightly wrapping around her from top to bottom, sticky and terrifying, and there was no way to escape.
Just when Yao Jinwei thought she was about to suffocate from those invisible shackles, something suddenly flew over, severing the shackles binding her like a sharp scimitar.
Yao Jinwei was stunned for two seconds before she could stop breathing heavily. Looking down, she realized that the script in her hand had fallen to the ground at some point.
A ballpoint pen was stuck in it, its tip piercing through the back of the paper, pinning the script, which must have been at least twenty or thirty pages long, firmly to the ground.
Not only her, but everyone else in the room quickly noticed the strange thing.
"Strange, why is it suddenly hot again? Is the air conditioner on? Or is the thermostat broken?"
"It's cold one minute and hot the next, could this house be haunted?"
The group first marveled at the change in indoor temperature, and then noticed what had happened to Yao Jinwei.
"Xiao Yao, why did you stop reading? Hey, where did this script and pen go?"
Ye Wanxi got up and walked to Yao Jinwei's side. She bent down, pulled the pen out of the script, picked up the script, and handed it to Yao Jinwei.
Looking at the script so close to her, Yao Jinwei instinctively felt that this was the culprit that had almost made her unable to breathe. She subconsciously took a step back, not daring to take it.
Ye Wanxi didn't pay much attention to this and simply held the script in her hand.
"Alright, I think I know what's going on with your production crew."
Chen Debang's eyes brightened slightly: "Was it deliberate or..."
Ye Wanxi pondered for a moment: "Before this, where was your screenwriter? Were they on set?"
"Screenwriter? What do you need a screenwriter for? This script... has a problem."
"Um."
Chen Debang's expression changed slightly. He had considered countless possibilities, but he never expected that this issue would arise from the script.
"Go and call Xiao Huang here."
The screenwriter Chen Debang called was a woman in her early thirties with freckles on her face. She was slightly overweight and looked very kind. She looked a little confused when she was suddenly called over.
Ye Wanxi glanced at her and frowned: "It's not her."
"Not her?"
"I'm referring to the original screenwriter. She wrote this script?"
Chen Debang suddenly realized: "You mean Teacher Li? He didn't come to the set today. We might have to wait a few more days to see him."
Gao Min was also a little annoyed when she heard her say that: "The screenwriter of your production team doesn't even stay with the crew?"
