CHAPTER 104: A RAGE FOR BEAUTY

Director Lin interjected from the side, "Teacher Cheng, you don’t understand. A pile of dog excrement will always be seen as a pile of dog excrement, no matter what. Don’t expect her to see it as a fresh flower. Their realms are different; you can’t force it."

Linda was furious, but Han Bi tugged at her sleeve, signaling her not to speak, that there was nothing worth saying.

Linda glared resentfully at Lin Ning.

Cai Xiaojing lowered her head and chuckled, "Only you dare to say that to her."

"That kind of trash, hmph!" Lin Ning dismissed it. All the actors on set were watching the famous director and Han Bi’s antics, but Director Lin had no intention of getting further entangled with Han Bi and lowered his head again to discuss the details of the "Beauty Unparalleled" collaboration with Cai Xiaojing.

Wen Nuan and Chen Hang’s scene required three takes in total. Two takes were completed, and Wen Nuan felt a bit exhausted from being suspended, but there was still one more take, and she had to continue hanging. Director Zhang was directing from below. The final scene was Wen Nuan flying through the stone pillars, with Chen Hang flying in from behind. The two already shared a subtle chemistry, and the last part of this scene involved Chen Hang flying in from behind, embracing Wen Nuan’s waist, and spinning downwards.

Accompanied by falling cherry blossoms, the scene was incredibly beautiful.

As the clapperboard snapped, the scene began. First, Wen Nuan flew out from the east side of the stone pillars, her limbs outstretched in a graceful pose, turning back with a smile, her face as radiant as a blooming flower.

"Wushuang, come chase me! You can’t catch me."

Then came a burst of laughter. Wen Nuan flew a circle around the stone pillars, her laughter like bells. Lin Ning and Cai Xiaojing couldn’t help but look up. Originally, Chen Hang was supposed to fly out only when Wen Nuan flew back to the center of the stone pillars.

But then, an unexpected incident occurred. As Wen Nuan flew back around the stone pillars and turned, Chen Hang flew out. According to the script, Wen Nuan was supposed to turn back and deliver her line after passing another stone pillar. Chen Hang flew out, circling from the other side, but instead, he flew directly towards Wen Nuan, startling her. Director Zhang also noticed the anomaly and shouted, "Martial arts instructor, what’s going on!"

Chen Hang was also greatly alarmed. The wirework was controlled by the martial arts instructor adjusting the angles, and Chen Hang couldn’t control his speed at all. Wen Nuan was startled, suspended in mid-air with nowhere to evade. Chen Hang directly collided with Wen Nuan.

Both were shocked. Their wires tangled together, and a metal piece on Chen Hang’s wrist sliced a long gash on Wen Nuan’s arm, causing blood to immediately flow.

Everyone gasped in cold air. Cai Xiaojing stood up anxiously, her eyes wide with fear. "Nuannuan..."

Lin Ning also stood up.

The planner on the side roared, "Quickly, bring them down!"

However, it was too late. After Chen Hang collided with Wen Nuan, their wires tangled, and the martial arts instructor’s face changed drastically, attempting to lower them, but their bodies went directly towards the stone pillars.

"Ah..."

Both of their bodies hit the stone pillars. Wen Nuan, who was on the inside, suffered the most. She only had time to cover her head with her hands, but she still hit her forehead, causing her to feel dizzy and her vision to blacken.

It hurt so much!

Although they weren’t real stone pillars, just props, they were filled with wooden boards. To make them realistic, Director Zhang had added a lot of material and put a lot of effort into building the set, so these props were very hard.

Chen Hang’s body was pressed against Wen Nuan’s, meaning their combined weight impacted, but Wen Nuan bore the brunt of it.

During the wirework, Chen Hang had no way to protect her.

Cai Xiaojing rushed forward in a panic. Someone immediately called an ambulance. When Wen Nuan was lowered, her right arm had a deep gash, and her forehead was also injured, with broken skin, red and swollen, and streaked with blood. Wen Nuan was dizzy from the impact, and combined with being lowered from a height, her body felt like it was floating.

It felt like being on a boat, constantly swaying.

The people in front of her were all swaying.

Cai Xiaojing cupped her face, anxiously calling her name. Wen Nuan blinked her eyes for a while, but the figures in front of her were blurry, and the voices became increasingly ethereal. Wen Nuan thought coolly that in her entire life, she had never experienced what it felt like to faint.

As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, Miss Wen completely plunged into darkness, fainting as she had wished.

Chen Hang was extremely anxious. He only had some scrapes, nothing serious, but Wen Nuan was in a much worse state. Lin Ning frowned, picked her up horizontally, and ignored the reporters guarding outside the set. Lin Ning kicked open the large door with a fierce kick and carried Wen Nuan out.

At the entrance, magnesium lights flashed.

"Director Lin, what happened? Was someone injured during filming?"

"Director Lin, isn’t that Wen Nuan? Director Lin, what’s your relationship?"

"Director Lin, please say something. What exactly is your relationship?"

...

"Get out!" Director Lin roared. A bold reporter dared to step in front of him to block his path. Lin Ning, worried about Wen Nuan’s injuries, acted decisively, raising his leg and delivering a powerful kick, sending the reporter sprawling over a meter away.

This scene instantly consumed a roll of film, with everyone scrambling to capture it.

Cai Xiaojing hastily told someone to pull the reporters away. To prevent further injury to Wen Nuan’s head, Lin Ning tucked her head against his chest. With the cooperation of the crew, they got into a car and rushed straight to the hospital.

Big news, big news...

Director Lin’s rage for a beauty—what a pathetic headline.

More gossip to watch.

The morning’s gossip about Young Master Ye and Han Bi hadn’t even died down, and now another heavyweight had arrived.

Today, Young Master Ye was trending, Han Bi was trending, Lin Ning was trending, and Wen Nuan was also trending...

Gossip and scandals took center stage.

Ye Feimo was restless today and had no appetite for food. During his lunch break, he was even more annoyed as he saw the overwhelming rumors about him and Han Bi. His work efficiency in the afternoon was extremely low.

Just then, Mo Xiaobai called, cheerfully asking him if he was planning any movies recently. He mentioned that he had a lot of free time lately and suddenly wanted to contribute to the country. Ye Feimo couldn’t help but tease him.

Your nationality and my nationality are obviously different.

Mo Xiaobai readily agreed, mentioning that his ancestors were Chinese. Ye Feimo thought that Lin Ning had already told him about the movie they were planning to shoot, so it was a good opportunity to bring it up. Unexpectedly, Mo Xiaobai modestly asked who the female lead was.

He is more interested in the female lead.

He said, "Although a woman’s lips are sweet, kissing a pleasing and somewhat cute woman is, of course, more delightful."

Ye Feimo: "..."
