Tan Xiaoxuan refused to rest, her eyes revealing a hint of impatience: "I don't have time to waste here. I'll wrap up after this scene. I have other plans."
She knew she would be harassing Liu Zhidong after filming this scene, and didn't want to waste time here. She looked coldly at Li Zifeng, her tone carrying a hint of warning: "Li Zifeng, if you continue to be so unprofessional, don't blame me for being impolite."
The director also made a request to Li Zifeng: "Zifeng, you have to put your heart into acting, don't make me yell 'cut' again."
Li Zifeng, however, didn't care. He had investors backing him up and wasn't worried about being replaced. He snorted coldly, a hint of disdain in his eyes: "It's just a kissing scene, what's the big deal?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Xiaoxuan instantly flew into a rage. She abruptly raised the prop sword in her hand, pointed it at Li Zifeng's nose, and said coldly, "Say that again? You think I'm giving you a chance by acting out a kissing scene?"
Li Zifeng was startled, but quickly regained his composure. He sneered, "Aimee, don't think you're anyone special. You're just a pretty face who got to where you are because of your connections."
Tan Xiaoxuan's face instantly darkened. She sneered, her tone laced with sarcasm: "It's not your fault you're ugly, but when you're acting, you have to have some professionalism. How dare an unprofessional actor like you act so arrogantly in front of me?"
She paused, a hint of threat in her eyes: "Let me tell you, acting with trash like this will lower my standards. If I ever see you like this again, I guarantee you won't be able to stay in the entertainment industry."
It's no secret in the industry that Tan Xiaoxuan can really hit people when she gets angry. Although the news was being suppressed, Li Zifeng knew that she meant what she said. Although he was resentful, he chose to tolerate it for the time being.
After being scolded by Tan Xiaoxuan, Li Zifeng's attitude towards filming improved noticeably. Although he wasn't perfect, his performance was barely acceptable. Tan Xiaoxuan looked at him, snorted coldly, and her eyes revealed a hint of disdain: "Finally, you're somewhat presentable."
Yin Weiting is the second male lead in the drama. He is handsome and his acting skills are beyond question, completely overshadowing the male lead, Li Zifeng.
Unfortunately, he had neither a powerful background nor a supportive agency, so he could only play the second male lead.
However, Tan Xiaoxuan found him quite agreeable, and the two often chatted together when they weren't filming.
We worked together on a film set before and even drank together; we were fair-weather friends.
“Hey, Aimee, we’re going to be suspended by wires later, how about we go over the lines? I’m afraid you’ll forget them.” Yin Weiting sat down next to Tan Xiaoxuan and suggested with a smile.
Tan Xiaoxuan glanced at him, a confident smile curving her lips: "I've already memorized the lines, don't worry."
Tan Xiaoxuan is never careless at work. Once she's on set, she does her job diligently and never seeks special privileges. She knows her special status, but she also knows that you can't make a name for yourself by relying on connections.
After Yin Weiting left, Tan Xiaoxuan immediately took out her phone and sent Liu Zhidong a selfie. In the photo, she was dressed in ancient costume, with a playful look in her eyes: "Zhidong, what do you think of my ancient costume look?"
She then sent another WeChat message: "When filming romantic scenes, I always imagine the other person as you, so I can hug and kiss you however I want. I haven't seen you for several days, are you free to have dinner together tonight?"
Tan Xiaoxuan knew that Liu Zhidong most likely wouldn't reply, but she still persisted in bombarding him with WeChat messages every day. A doting smile played on her lips, as if she were flirting with someone who rarely paid attention to her.
"Aimee, it's almost your turn to film. Go and get ready," assistant Zheng Xiaokun reminded her from the side.
"Okay!" Tan Xiaoxuan replied, then filmed a short video on her phone. "Zhidong, I'm going to be suspended by wires in a bit, so remember to miss me!"
Tan Xiaoxuan was thinking of Liu Zhidong, and her mood was exceptionally good. She was usually a little afraid of heights, but today, while suspended on the wires, she didn't feel scared at all. She took a deep breath and gave the camera a bright smile: "Zhidong, I'll come see you after I finish filming this scene!"
Before the wire work was filmed, the atmosphere on set was tense and solemn.
Assistant Zheng Xiaokun stood beside Tan Xiaoxuan, his eyes full of worry: "Aimee, maybe we should use a stunt double. This is too dangerous."
Tan Xiaoxuan shook her head, her eyes resolute: "A stand-in is a person too. Why should she suffer for me? I can manage on my own."
Zheng Xiaokun sighed, knowing he couldn't persuade her, and could only silently pray that everything would go smoothly.
The staff began to put wires on Tan Xiaoxuan, preparing for the filming.
Zheng Xiaokun stood to the side, watching the wire slowly rise, and felt inexplicably panicked.
He had a feeling that something bad was going to happen today. The creaking sound of the wires terrified him, and his eyes never left Tan Xiaoxuan.
A crisp snapping sound suddenly rang out, and the wire rope broke instantly.
Tan Xiaoxuan plummeted from mid-air, plunging the scene into chaos.
The crew members panicked; some screamed, and others tried to rush over to help.
Zheng Xiaokun ran forward almost reflexively, trying to catch Tan Xiaoxuan, but the distance was too far and he couldn't catch her in time.
With a loud bang, Tan Xiaoxuan crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Tan Xiaoxuan's face turned deathly pale with pain, and cold sweat instantly beaded on her forehead. She felt as if her whole body was about to shatter, and the pain was so intense that she could barely speak. She gritted her teeth and muttered a complaint, "When have I ever suffered like this in my entire life?"
Zheng Xiaokun rushed over and knelt beside Tan Xiaoxuan, his eyes filled with worry: "Aimee, how are you feeling? Is anything in particular painful?"
Tan Xiaoxuan took a deep breath and forced a smile: "I'm fine, it just hurts a little... Call an ambulance quickly!"
Zheng Xiaokun immediately took out his phone, ready to dial an ambulance. At that moment, Tan Xiaoxuan suddenly reached out: "Give me your phone!"
Zheng Xiaokun paused for a moment, then said worriedly, "Aimee, don't move around. Let's wait for the ambulance to arrive."
Tan Xiaoxuan seemed a little impatient: "Give it to me quickly, I have something urgent to do!"
Helpless, Zheng Xiaokun could only hand her the phone.
Tan Xiaoxuan took the phone, quickly opened WeChat, and clicked on the short video function. She pointed the camera at herself, enduring the pain, and recorded a video.
"Zhi Dong, I got injured while filming, and I might not make it..." Tan Xiaoxuan looked pitiful in the video, her voice trembling with tears, "You'll see how badly I'm injured, you'll definitely come to see me, right? Please don't make me sad..."
Zheng Xiaokun told Tan Xiaoxuan to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible to see if there was anything wrong with her body.
Tan Xiaoxuan whispered to Zheng Xiaokun, "Don't rush, let me send this message first."
After saying that, she clicked send, but unexpectedly, she collapsed and her phone slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.
