Chapter 583: Chapter 582: Courting Death 2_1 Chapter 583: Chapter 582: Courting Death 2_1 Before anyone else could speak, Lan Lan suddenly sneered, “Look all you want. You’re the type who doesn’t shed a tear until you see the coffin. In a moment, I’ll wipe that smile off your face!”
After reviewing the just-recorded footage, Lan Lan was surprised to find that Qiao Xiaren really hadn’t kicked her!
How could it be? Why?!
A sudden chill ran down her spine. Who kicked her just now?
Everyone on the scene thought Lan Lan was incredibly foolish, trying to find an excuse to belittle others and then turning back to review the video? But now Lan Lan really couldn’t voice her grievances because she had clearly felt someone kicked her!
“Since there’s no issue, let’s continue filming,” Chen Cheng mediated from the side, internally showing some disdain for Lan Lan. Lan Lan’s aggressive momentum was somewhat dissipated, she seemed lost in thought.
The filming quickly resumed, and no one noticed that Qiao Xiaren glanced at a certain place, then a little ghost off to the side gave her a thumbs-up. Having been in the human world for a long time, she had learned many gestures and phrases full of meaning.
The camera rolled again on the same scene, and Lan Lan was shocked that the take where she was kicked was cut again. She felt that powerful force, followed by a solid kneel on the ground.
Qiao Xiaren hadn’t even extended her leg intentionally when the little ghost had already kicked forcefully at Lan Lan. Consequently, Lan Lan was swiped off her feet, unable to voice her pain.
After going to her knees twice, the pain seeped into her bones.
Lan Lan was not a fool. She had a unique tolerance. She was aware someone was scheming against her in secret, and it was very likely that person was Qiao Xiaren herself. Although, she had no idea what means Qiao Xiaren used? And how she managed to deceive so many eyes!
This was absolutely unbelievable.
Although Chen Cheng was part of the Lan family, he also hoped to produce a good piece of work, which was one of the reasons why Lan Tiansheng chose him to direct this drama. Lan Tiansheng knew better than anyone that making a drama wasn’t easy; it required a high-quality team to possibly launch her little sister into stardom.
Therefore, Chen Cheng wouldn’t compromise easily when it came to shooting scenes.
After being cut for a dozen times, Lan Lan hadn’t uttered a word, which surprised Qiao Xiaren who cast a sideways glance at Lan Lan. Her sweat was pouring like rain, her hair was in disarray, particularly her lips which were almost white from biting.
Going down on her knees over and over must have swollen and hurt her knees, leaving her akin to a crippled person.
Finally, in the last take, the pampered Miss Lan couldn’t endure anymore. She fainted on the set. The moment Lan Lan collapsed, countless people rushed forward, immediately sending her to the hospital.
When the lead actress collapsed, the rest of the production crew gazed at each other in shock. No one had expected this kind of incident on the first day of shooting. Seeing her condition, it didn’t seem likely she could continue shooting for several days.
“I apologize, but I have scenes to shoot so I’ll take my leave first,” Qiao Xiaren checked the time. “My schedule is fully booked lately. I didn’t expect Lan Lan to be so unprofessional and continuously flunking the shots. Today’s cuts have broken my record. I refuse to work with such people. The crew should find someone more competent. If one wants to partake in the entertainment industry but can’t take a bit of pain and want to play the fragile card, then you might as well stay in an air-conditioned room and stop wasting resources!”
After dropping these words, Qiao Xiaren turned and left leisurely.
Qiao Xiaren left just like that…she just left?
The contract wasn’t signed, so the Lan family couldn’t demand any compensation from Qiao Xiaren.
