Chapter 57: Investigate
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Is Lu Zhen acting like a big shot? The director looks so angry.”
...“I think so. This cliff isn’t that high. She doesn’t even dare to jump down. She even said that she’s professional. I’m dying of laughter.”
“Look, the trending topic tomorrow might be Lu Zhen delaying the progress of the entire production team. I think Lu Zhen is finished this time. There are already many scandals to begin with. With this news, which director will be willing to use her in the future?”
Not far away, Lu Zhen’s light substitute, Zhuo Hui, had already changed out of her wet clothes. When she heard everyone’s discussion, she was a little anxious for Lu Zhen. She felt that Lu Zhen was not what these people said, but she did not understand why Lu Zhen did not finish filming this scene quickly.
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll get someone to investigate for you. You should be satisfied after the investigation, right? Lu Zhen, what’s wrong with you today? You’ve really disappointed me!” The director placed his hands on his hips, looking furious.
He was as angry as he thought highly of Lu Zhen. He even speculated in his heart: Could it be that Lu Zhen was pretending to be professional and polite in the past? Seeing that today was her last scene, she couldn’t be bothered to pretend?
He had really misjudged her!
The director impatiently took a stool and sat down. He looked at the watch on his wrist and waited anxiously. If Lu Zhen’s scenes were delayed until the afternoon, it would not only delay the production team’s progress. This venue was a tourist attraction that they had rented at a high price. With Lu Zhen throwing a tantrum, the production team might lose a lot of money.
Lu Zhen stood beside the director calmly. She did not explain to anyone and just waited quietly. In the crowd, Lu Rou saw that there was no movement from the director and felt uneasy. Why did they stop filming? Did they discover something?
Lu Rou quickly denied this guess.
Lu Zhen was not a god. How would she know what she had done? There must be some other reason. However, this was good too. Tomorrow, the news of Lu Zhen acting like a big shot and delaying the production team’s progress will be posted online. At that time, she would arrange for some ghostwriters to trample on Lu Zhen until she could not raise her head!
Lu Rou almost laughed out loud. She pretended to be worried and said to the staff beside her, “My sister must not have deliberately delayed everyone. Today is her last scene. She might be too nervous!”
Lu Rou’s words made people believe even more that Lu Zhen was definitely too lazy to pretend to be professional in the last scene. This was too hypocritical and disgusting.
Time passed minute by minute. Ten minutes later, the director stood up. “You should be done checking soon. If there’s nothing wrong with the wires, Lu
Zhen, you have to apologize to the production team for your actions today!”
Lu Zhen nodded. “Sure.”
Soon, a man in a maintenance uniform ran over. He was panting as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Director…
“How is it? There shouldn’t be a problem with the wires, right? I’ve really troubled you to make a trip.”
“No, Director, the wires are indeed broken. Fortunately, Miss Lu Zhen didn’t film the scene just now. Otherwise, she would have definitely fallen off the cliff in midair. It was too dangerous!” The repairman heaved a sigh of relief. “I’ve already gotten someone to replace the broken parts. They’ll be fixed soon.”
When the director heard the repairman’s words, his expression seemed to freeze for a moment. After a few seconds, he asked again in disbelief, “Is it really broken? But I clearly checked it a few times before filming.”
Cold sweat trickled down the director’s forehead.
Fortunately, Lu Zhen did not jump off the cliff just now. Although the cliff was not high, if a living person fell from midair, she would at least have a fracture. If she injured her forehead, the matter would probably be even more serious!
If an actor was injured in the production team, this movie would be completely ruined. Moreover, Lu Zhen was an A-list actress. They would have to pay a huge sum of money!
The director turned around, his expression no longer as impatient and angry as before. He said guiltily, “I’m sorry, Lu Zhen. I was too anxious just now. Fortunately, you didn’t film this scene. Otherwise, we would have been in big trouble…”
Lu Zhen waved her hand and did not argue with the director. “Director, you don’t have to apologize to me. After all, you didn’t know that this would happen. You were only anxious just now for the sake of the production team. I won’t blame you.”
The director heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something, Lu Zhen’s gaze slowly shifted to the crowd not far away. “But the wire suddenly broke. We have to investigate this matter..”
