Huo Wu once again forgot her lines.
This was the third time her scene was cut while she was facing the sunny and handsome second male lead. The director finally had enough and threw down the clapper board he was holding and shouted, “Let’s take a five-minute break and then we’ll start shooting the female lead’s part first!”
It was December, so they were already in the middle of a cold winter. Yet Huo Wu was only wearing a thin layer of clothes for the drama. Shortly after the director shouted at them to take a break, a cold gust of wind blew past Huo Wu. Huo Wu subconsciously shrank her neck back and hugged herself with her arms, trying to keep herself warm.
She looked down at the ground, not daring to look at the ugly expression on the director’s face.
The second male lead of the drama walked over to her and kindly handed her a thick coat. “Did you not rest well last night?” he asked with concern.
Although Huo Wu was just a mere 18th line actress, this time, she was playing the role of the third female lead in a third-rate online drama. However, in the past, she was very responsible for her work and well versed in her lines. She had never been cut three consecutive times like today.
Huo Wu received the coat from the second male lead and thanked him in a whisper.
She blinked and nodded her head in response to his question.
Huo Wu knew that she was in a bad condition today, but it wasn’t because she didn’t have enough sleep. But she nodded her head in agreement with him because she was too embarrassed to tell him the real reason.
She had drunk too much coffee while she read her script last night. As a result, after she finished reading the script, she didn’t feel sleepy at all. She had randomly found a novel online to read to pass the time.
The novel she read last night was called《Forced Love》and the second female lead of the novel coincidentally had the same name as her. She had planned to read for roughly half an hour, and then go to sleep. However, the more she read the story, the more immersed in it she became. She quickly forgot the time and spent all night reading the novel.
The supporting female lead in the novel was originally a child of a poor family, but eighteen years ago, the nurse in the hospital made a mistake and accidentally exchanged her with a baby from a wealthy family. As a result, she had a life that did not belong to her.
However, the truth will always come to light. In an accident 18 years later, the truth that the supporting female lead wasn’t the biological daughter of the Huo Family was revealed to the world. After that accident, the supporting female lead’s life had taken a drastic turn.
Huo Wu softly sighed as she thought about the supporting female lead’s tragic ending. Although the female lead was arrogant, she wasn’t a bad person at heart. The original accident wasn’t her fault either.
In Huo Wu’s analysis of the novel, she thought that neither the female lead nor the supporting female lead was wrong. Instead, it was the hospital’s fault for their negligence. However, the female lead had placed all the blame on the supporting female lead for robbing her 18 years of happiness, leading her to retaliate against the support female lead.
After witnessing the tragic ending of the support female lead, Huo Wu threw the novel aside.
Although Huo Wu knew that it wasn’t her life, her heart still felt heavy. Perhaps it was because the supporting female lead in the novel had the same name as her, so after she finished reading the novel, she couldn’t lift her spirit up at all.
She was depressed ever since last night and even this morning, her mood was still down. As a result, she couldn’t focus on the filming and made many mistakes while filming this morning.
“You should rest early tonight after the filming is over. Your complexion doesn’t look too well.”
Huo Wu and the second male lead weren’t close to each other, they had met each other while filming their current online drama. The second male lead was many times more popular than her, but Huo Wu didn’t plan on becoming close with him, so she nodded her head lightly.
After the five-minute break, the female lead’s scene was pushed forward. Huo Wu sat on the side and waited quietly.
It wasn’t her scene yet until four hours later.
The plot of Huo Wu’s scene required the third female lead to jump off the cliff to take her life, so they needed to use wires.
