Chapter 1591: Do You Think the Scene Matters More, or Your Life?

The driver was startled.

He slammed the brakes to the floor, coming to an emergency stop.

Tang Qian’s lipstick skewed, and she was anxious: “What are you doing!”

Bai Zhi’er stepped out of the car.

Clearly, it was sunny when they left, but now the sky was covered with dark clouds, looming as if it was about to rain.

The car stopped at the foot of a mountain; there were not many pedestrians around.

Tang Qian followed down: “Immortal sister, what are you doing? Our director is very fierce, do you know if we’re late he’ll scold me to death!”

Bai Zhi’er glanced ahead and decisively said, “We can’t go through that path, let’s take a detour.”

“Detour?!” The driver caught up and upon hearing this, was immediately unhappy: “A detour will take an additional half hour.”

Tang Qian waved her hand: “That’s not acceptable!”

Bai Zhi’er grabbed her wrist: “Tang Qian, do you think the movie is important, or life is important?”

Tang Qian was taken aback.

Probably because Bai Zhi’er’s gaze was so deep and dark.

Tang Qian opened her lips: “Then… then let’s follow your advice, take the detour.”

The other mountain path was quite difficult to walk.

Bai Zhi’er looked out the window at the misty mountain scenery around, the air was very heavy with moisture.

Though a highway was built, it was still a mountain road, one careless move could result in overturning.

Below was the turbulent Kuan River, the driver drove very carefully, Tang Qian was fixing up her makeup that she just did.

The van was delayed by a full forty minutes before arriving at the filming location.

Upon arrival, the crew was already busy.

Tang Qian originally wanted to buy lunch for the crew as an apology.

Unexpectedly, everyone was in a hurry and nobody paid attention to her.

Only the assistant director bumped into her when he passed by, seeing it was Tang Qian he said: “Qianqian is here, take a rest for a while, we might start shooting later today.”

After speaking, he hurried forward to arrange some matters.

Tang Qian found it strange, murmuring: “What’s going on?”

She turned her head, finding Bai Zhi’er observing the forest nearby.

“Don’t wander too far, the woods here are very deep, sometimes there’s no signal!” Tang Qian reminded.

Bai Zhi’er smiled back: “I know, just taking a look.”

Tang Qian didn’t have time to manage her, rushing to the makeup tent.

The crew makeup artist Xiao Zhao, who usually had good relations with her, came over: “Sister Qian, fortunately, you arrived late today, otherwise the one injured would be you.”

“Ah?” Tang Qian was stunned: “What’s going on?”

Xiao Zhao then explained what had just happened in detail.

Tang Qian was filming this period martial arts drama, which was nearing its conclusion.

Today happened to be shooting the last two or three episodes of the finale. According to the script’s ending, the male and female leads would fight several rounds in the secluded mountains, ending with the male lead getting injured and falling into the water, while the female lead becomes a major villain in the martial arts world everyone wants to eliminate.

So for this scene, Tang Qian, as the female lead, was supposed to shoot the fight while suspended over water.

But the director chose a stunt double for a few shots; since Tang Qian was late today, the director decided to first shoot the stunt double’s back views. Unexpectedly, when the wire was hoisted just three meters up, the young stunt girl immediately fell down.

The fall was quite severe, reportedly she fainted right away. Later the director had someone check and found Director Wu hadn’t processed the wire equipment properly.

Tang Qian was a bit scared, imagining if she had started shooting, she would be the one lying unconscious now.
