Chapter 561: Chapter 561 Slander
Zhuang Xuejun finished speaking and walked towards Huang Wenan.
Xia Weibao was still worried and did not leave.
She found a place to sit down right on set and kept her eyes on Zhuang Xuejun.
Huang Wenan was surprisingly well-behaved, only daring to steal a few glances but not making any moves.
Only then did Xia Weibao feel relieved.
She looked around, saw that people were coming and going, and then turned to head back to the makeup room to rest.
The makeup room was empty since everyone else was outside.
After she had sat for a while, Han Luoqi entered.
He still had that arrogant expression, as if it cost him two hundred and fifty.
The two exchanged glances, and since neither cared for the other, they didn’t even bother with greetings.
Xia Weibao shifted her gaze away and took out her phone to scroll through Weibo.
As soon as Han Luoqi’s face darkened, he scoffed and entered his private makeup room inside.
Xia Weibao browsed Weibo for a few minutes. There wasn’t any interesting news recently, so she logged out.
There were still twenty minutes before shooting started, and just sitting there was somewhat boring.
There wasn’t enough time for a round of King’s Glory, so she had to find something else to do.
Twenty minutes later, Xia Weibao stood up, ready to go outside.
Just then, Han Luoqi also came out from the makeup room inside.
Xia Weibao didn’t pay him any mind and walked out.
She arrived at the filming location.
The first scene to shoot in the afternoon was Chu Ying’s fight scene.
The scene depicts Jin Die just after entering Huaxia, failing an assassination attempt on Yuan Zhinan, followed by a chase.
The special agent’s fight scene was supposed to be intense, and to create a realistic fight, wires were needed for assistance.
Xia Weibao sat on the side, watching listlessly.
For her, someone from ancient times with Qinggong skills, these modern wire stunts were simply too amateurish.
Just as she was about to fall asleep watching, a cry of alarm suddenly came from over there.
“Oh my god! Sister Ying!”
“Quick, Sister Ying has fallen, go check on her!”
Then, a crowd of people rushed over there.
Xia Weibao immediately woke from her drowsiness.
What happened, did someone fall?
She followed and saw Chu Ying lying on the ground, with her agent’s assistant helping her up.
Luckily, the special agent fight scene wasn’t Qinggong, so she wasn’t hung very high.
The fall only resulted in some scrapes, and she wasn’t seriously hurt.
Chu Ying, supporting her injured left arm with her right hand, suddenly looked up at Xia Weibao and flashed a vicious smile.
Xia Weibao’s heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling.
No sooner had this feeling arisen than she heard Director Wan Ke’s angry voice.
“What the hell! How did the wire break all of a sudden!”
Old Liu, the crew member responsible for the wires, looked pale, “I’ll go check it right now.”
In no time, he returned with some props, “Director Wan, someone has tampered with the wire.”
When Wan Ke took a look, he was furious, “What the hell is going on!”
A safety issue on set would have a very bad impact if word got out!
It was fortunate that nothing serious happened this time, but if it had been worse, it could have been fatal!
His sharp gaze turned towards Old Liu.
Old Liu jumped with fright, “Director Wan, it’s not my fault. I checked it before lunch, and Xiao Wang was there too. He can testify.”
Xiao Wang, who was called out, immediately stepped forward, “That’s right, it was Old Liu and I who checked it together; there was nothing wrong at the time.”
Director Wan’s expression was stern, “Who went to the prop room during the lunch break?”
Hearing this, Xia Weibao already had a hunch about what was coming.
Sure enough, at that moment, Xiao Wang stepped forward.
He glanced hesitantly in her direction, then spoke cautiously.
“Director Wan, during lunchtime, I think I saw Xia Weibao going to the prop room.”
