In the afternoon, the studio started working on time.
Although the male and female actors are not present at the scene, we can't just go on strike.
Setting up the scene and renting the venue cost money every minute.
If you can't film the scenes of the male and female protagonists, then you can film other actors' scenes.
"Where's the actress who plays Princess Jin'an? Why isn't she here?"
At this moment, no one dared to offend the director, who had a dark face. In the end, Wei Minmin stepped forward to save the situation, "Director Wei, you forgot, Lin Xuefei took a few days off to make other announcements."
"Not back yet?"
The staff on the side quickly replied: "Count the days, I'll be back the day after tomorrow."
Now I can only film the harem scenes first.
Unfortunately, there are also two scenes involving Qing Yuan.
Wei Xiao originally wanted Jiang Xiyu to stop filming for a day to get a feel for it, so as to save time and make frequent mistakes like in the morning.
Now I can only hurry up and continue filming, "Call Jiang Xiyu over, and I will talk to her about the scene first."
The staff on the side quickly got up and called for someone.
But after a while, he came back with a grimace.
"Where are the people?"
"The director only found Jiang Xiyu's assistant. Her assistant said that Jiang Xiyu asked for her cell phone and left, but he didn't let her follow him. He didn't come back for lunch at noon. He answered the call but didn't let the assistant go. Excuse her, her assistant doesn’t know what to do right now.”
Wei Xiao was immediately laughed out of anger.
"I just said a few words to her in the morning, but I can't bear it now. I can't stop saying that her performance is so bad? How can she be an actor with such a fragile mentality?"
Assistant Director Lin, who was sitting in the back, quietly shrank his head.
"Go and ask her assistant to call her. If she doesn't come over, get out!"
But when Wei Xiao saw Jiang Xiyu again and saw what she looked like now, he was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Xiyu was still wearing the same costume he had worn in the morning. There were a few streaks of dust on the hem of his clothes. The makeup on his face didn't look like it was just for the hot weather. The makeup on his face looked fierce. The ground looked several times more haggard.
Not to mention the depression all over his body made him wonder if he was really too venomous.
Seeing her like this, Wei Xiao didn't dare to say any harsh words anymore, and he could even hear a bit of gentleness when speaking.
But the effect didn't seem to be very obvious. His mouth was dry as he spoke. When he raised his head, he saw Jiang Xiyu's eyes were straight and wandering. He didn't seem to have listened to what he just said. He suddenly felt angry. Climb upwards.
"Jiang Xiyu, did you listen to me?"
Jiang Xiyu came back to her senses and looked at Wei Xiao's staring eyes, "Director, I want..." She swallowed and gritted her teeth and said, "I want to take a leave."
"You can ask for leave if you want. If you hire a fake person and leave, will I still be able to film this scene?"
"Didn't Lin Xuefei also ask for leave?"
"That's because she has other work. It just so happens that there are no scenes scheduled for her these days, so I agreed. Can you two do the same?"
Jiang Xiyu knew that asking for leave was not an option.
She wanted to concentrate, but the previous phone call and the words her aunt said before hanging up were echoing in her ears almost nonstop, and she couldn't forget them even if she tried desperately.
Even his heart and nerves were in a tight state all the time, and cold sweat was pouring out of his back. By now, he was scared to death and exhausted.
She shook her head weakly, "I won't invite you."
Half an hour later, watching another car heading to the hospital, Wei Xiao couldn't help but reflect. When arranging today's scene, he should have looked at the almanac in advance.
Isn’t today a good day for filming at all?
Just five minutes ago, it was just a very ordinary short scene.
Emperor Yuan Zhao was unable to get away from the busy government affairs of the previous dynasty, so he ordered the maid Qingyuan around him to send some treasures and toys paid tribute by small neighboring countries to the Queen Mother as a sign of filial piety.
This time it was mainly a scene between Jiang Xiyu and She Man. I don’t know if it was because Jiang Lingxi was not present, but Jiang Xiyu’s performance was quite satisfactory, at least he didn’t make any mistakes. Needless to say about She Man, the standard of the actress has always been there.
Until Qingyuan, played by Jiang Xiyu, finished delivering her things and left Cuiwei Palace where the Queen Mother lived. When she was going down the steps, she suddenly missed the step and rolled down the next few steps, unable to move on the spot.
He could only be taken away for treatment, and he had to be approved even if he didn't leave.
Wei Xiao is still a bit superstitious. The crew actually had two accidents in one day. He had no intention of continuing filming and directly announced that today's filming was over, and the originally planned night scene was also cancelled.
When the actors went back to remove their makeup and the staff began to dismantle the equipment and props, he walked alone to the steps where Jiang Xiyu fell before, and even touched it with his hands.
"This isn't slippery either!"
To be able to fall down on such a step only proves that Jiang Xiyu was really unlucky this time.
*
After finally completing all the examinations and having lunch in a ward that was more like a hotel suite, Jiang Lingxi first saw Lu Zhengzheng, who rushed over after getting the news, and then received a message from Wei Minmin.
There are three in total.
Article 1: "How do you feel now? Have you found out the cause of vomiting blood?"
Article 2: "While filming, Jiang Xiyu stepped on the stairs and broke his leg. He was just sent to the hospital."
Article 3: "Uncle, he may feel that today is not a good time to film. The filming here on the set has ended early. Which hospital are you going to? I will go over to see you after I take off my makeup."
When she saw the second item, Jiang Lingxi put down her chopsticks and raised her eyebrows.
I lost my footing and fell off the steps and fractured my bones. Was it an accident, intentional, or a backlash?
If it was the second possibility, then Jiang Xiyu would be quite cruel to him.
After she replied to the message, she heard Lu Zhengzheng grinding his teeth quietly.
Looking over, I saw that the girl's eyes were red again.
"Don't cry."
Lu Zhengzheng quickly took a deep breath to hold it in, "Sister Xixi, was it Jiang Xiyu who did you vomit blood?"
Jiang Lingxi was certain that Jiang Xiyu was definitely not a warlock, but this matter was indeed related to Jiang Xiyu.
She nodded, and before Lu Zhengzheng could speak, she told her the latest news from the crew that she had just received: "Jiang Xiyu will probably quit the crew."
"Ah?" Lu Zhengzheng was still thinking about how to take revenge and go back, but he was stunned when he heard this.
"She has a broken leg and won't be able to walk normally for at least a month. The crew won't wait for her that long."
Lu Zhengzheng thought the same, but still couldn't get angry, "That would be an advantage for her, and the role of Qing Yuan would have to be found by another actor."
Jiang Lingxi smiled. Without the help of the warlock named Master Mei behind him, if Jiang Xiyu still wanted to deal with her, he would have to weigh his own weight first.
Although she is no longer the emperor, she is not someone who can be plotted by just any cat or dog.
Especially if you use this kind of heresy, you must be prepared to be counterattacked.
As for the actor who plays Qing Yuan...
Wei Xiao was also worried about this problem at the moment. After Jiang Xiyu was sent to the nearest hospital, he was diagnosed with a moderate fracture of his calf. So he would have to undergo treatment for the next period of time and would not be able to return to the crew to continue filming. With so many people on the crew, it was impossible to stop the production just to wait for her.
He has already asked Assistant Director Lin to go to the hospital to talk to someone about terminating the cooperation. At the same time, he has also begun to quietly look for a candidate to play Qing Yuan.
But so many things happened in a series today, and he didn't have a clue for a while.
