Chapter 305: Frequent Incidents on the Set

"Take your time and don't rush."

Huo Ning said something comforting.

It’s not that her personality becomes gentler after she becomes rich.

Mainly -

There's no use in being anxious.

Director Liu didn't know why, but after hearing her words, it was as if a handful of stream water was splashed on his face in the hot summer, which was refreshing and soothing, and calmed the anxiety in his heart.

He grabbed the hot water bottle in his hand and put his face against it.

This weather is so cold that it is unbearable.

Director Liu drank a cup of warm ginger tea before saying, "There have been many strange things happening on the set these past few days."

"First, on the day of the start-up, when I lit the incense, it wouldn't light up."

"It took a long time to finally catch fire, but it went out very quickly."

"and--"

Director Liu's eyelids twitched violently. Thinking back to what happened at that time, he still feels scared.

"And when the incense was lit, the smoke didn't go up, it went down!"

Smoke going down is not a good sign.

The white smoke slowly floats upwards, implying a growing reputation, a high opening and a high ending, and a long-lasting viewership.

But the white smoke goes down——

To put it nicely, the show started off strong but ended up declining, with word of mouth declining all the way.

But to put it bluntly, the ratings plummeted, all the money was lost, and even -

Because the incense went out just after it lit, it might even mean that the show was cut short, and it might even affect the censorship issue.

All in all, this is definitely not a good sign.

"After the filming officially started, there was a fire on the set for no apparent reason. Everything else was fine. Fortunately, no one was injured, but -"

Director Liu looked grim, "It's just that more than half of the clothes were burned in the fire."

Later, the crew's stylist stepped in and found the film and television teams they had worked with before, and borrowed clothes from extras and other less important characters.

The leading actor's clothes were similar ones bought from a second-hand trading platform, and then the stylist made slight changes to the details of the clothes.

"After much difficulty, the clothing issue was resolved, but soon after, one staff member sprained his ankle or another staff member broke his hand."

Sometimes nothing happens to the crew, but important props from filming are always lost from time to time.

For this reason, several staff members discussed behind the scenes whether it was because the female lead was not chosen well.

It’s not their fault for thinking so, but so many things had happened to Su Mian before, and the injuries on her face were the best proof of that.

The entertainment industry is a very superstitious place. If Director Liu had not specifically asked Huo Ning when casting, I am afraid that Director Liu himself would have suspected whether the matter was somehow related to Su Mian.

"Before, it was staff members who were injured for unknown reasons, but today, Su Mian almost got into trouble too. The amulet that your senior brother gave her turned black."

Director Liu was feeling uneasy, always feeling that something was going to happen.

He always felt that if he didn't hire someone to solve the problem, the next thing might be more than just the staff or the leading actors getting injured.

If things go wrong, someone could die.

Director Liu was worried on the other end of the phone, as if a huge rock was hanging on his chest, making him feel anxious and it was hard for him to breathe.

"Master Huo, I know you are capable. Can you help me figure out if my crew has gotten into any trouble?"

Huo Ning calculated for a moment, then said, "You've offended someone you shouldn't have offended. I'll go over there tomorrow. Don't shoot the night scene tonight. If someone dies, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

After she said so, Director Liu dared not take it lightly. He immediately stopped the work and asked everyone in the crew to prepare to go home.

The producer was somewhat dissatisfied, and some of the artists' agents also frowned slightly.

"Director Liu, our Wanwan postponed tonight's activities to shoot this night scene. Now that you say you don't want to shoot it, it's difficult for us to communicate with the organizers there."

The artists' schedules are all arranged. Now that the night scenes suddenly cannot be filmed, it is inevitable that the reshoots will clash with the subsequent schedules, which will be difficult to coordinate.

Director Liu smoked a cigarette, but the lingering smoke could not cover up his irritable mood.

He sighed heavily, "I also understand your difficulties, but for the safety of everyone in the crew, it is not appropriate to start work tonight."

If Master Huo hadn't told him to do so, he would not have been willing to stop filming.

If we put it on hold tonight, I don’t know how many things will be delayed in the future.

But he didn't want anyone to die more than delaying things.

The agent opposite had a gloomy face. He didn't really believe in these nonsense. "Director Liu, I don't care about other people's stuff, but the night scene must be finished tonight."

Director Liu: “…”

Just as he was about to curse, a young assistant girl ran over and said, "Brother Yu, Sister Wanwan just fainted!"

The agent was shocked. "Why did he suddenly faint?"

He felt his scalp tingling. It was no small matter for this artist to faint during filming.

"Immediately block the news, buy off all the photos in my hands, and don't let this matter get out."

If this gets out, it will be a bloody storm on tomorrow's hot searches, and fans will definitely change their avatars on a large scale to criticize the studio and the company.

His agent will also have to bear the brunt of the consequences.

The young assistant was almost crying. If this matter got out, she would definitely be the first person to be scolded by the fans.

"I don't know. As soon as she changed into her costume and put on her makeup, she fainted."

"She is awake now, but she is not in the right state. She doesn't respond when we talk to her and she is in a daze."

The agent no longer cared about whether it was a night show or not, and hurried to check on his artists.

Director Liu was worried, so he ordered his subordinates to stop all work and followed them.

Something is very wrong.

As soon as Master Huo said that it was not suitable to shoot tonight, Qi Yu, the agent of the second female lead Yu Wan, began to object.

Then right at this moment, Yu Wan fainted.

Although it is said that there is no coincidence in the world, this is too much of a coincidence.

It was as if there was a pair of eyes watching their every move closely in the corner where they couldn't see.

Director Liu had a layer of cold sweat on his back. In such cold weather, beads of sweat as big as beans were dripping from his forehead.

Director Liu couldn't imagine what would happen next if they insisted on their own way and ignored Master Huo's advice.

Director Liu hurriedly trotted along with Qi Yu and the others and came to Yu Wan's dressing room.

Yu Wan looked terrified, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. He stared in one direction in the corner and trembled.

"Wanwan? What's wrong with you?"

Qi Yu stretched out a hand and waved it in front of Yu Wan, but the other party did not react at all.

His eyes were still dull and lifeless.

Qi Yu's heart skipped a beat.

He raised his voice and even began to shake Yu Wan's shoulders.

But Yu Wan remained motionless, just staring in a daze in one direction in the corner.
