The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 819 - 817: A Familiar Sense of Falling

"Sister Tong, you forgot. The scenes this morning require wire work. The stunt double will handle most of it, and you just need to fill in a few shots later!"

Because her blood type is special, Lu Beichen emphasized to Ada from the start that dangerous scenes are not allowed, and this film doesn’t have any dangerous scenes.

It just so happens that the filming involves the lead actress performing a handstand dance to celebrate the Emperor’s birthday, which requires wire work.

Ji Niandong understood what she meant and quickly said, "I’ll freshen up and go down immediately. You and Lazy Cat, hurry and get me to the set!"

As the lead actress, how could she be snoring in the hotel while others are filming!

Ji Niandong quickly arrived at the filming site, just in time for the scenes being filmed for her stunt double.

It was a man whose build was very similar to hers. Because many of the long-shot dance scenes were involved, the filming was relatively smooth, and the face wasn’t specifically captured.

She hurried over to apologize to the director and the crew members. The director was a bit surprised to see her, "The filming is almost done. The stunt double’s work is not bad. You just need to do a few upper body shots after getting your makeup done, no need for the wire work!"

Ji Niandong nodded and after having her makeup done, she couldn’t help but ask, "But director, the wire work is all in long shots, won’t the effect be not too good?"

This crew has always pursued perfection, even if the actors don’t perform well, the director would angrily point and scold them.

Upon hearing her say that, the director’s brows indeed furrowed, "But in your contract, it clearly states no wire work!"

"It’s okay, director. Sister Ada is just worried about accidents that might cause me to bleed or get injured. I didn’t push for the horse riding scenes before, but wire work should be no problem. The crew’s safety equipment is so reliable, surely I won’t fall, right?" She spoke politely, with a hint of humor.

The director smiled, "Are you sure? This doesn’t count as us breaching the contract?"

"I want to try it myself. I genuinely want to make this film great!" This is her last film.

The director nodded, "Don’t worry, we’ll ensure nothing happens to you!"

The director gave an order, and the staff quickly got ready. This was Ji Niandong’s first time using wire work. Chi Yue stood beside her, patiently explaining the precautions and how to look at the camera while suspended.

Ji Niandong nodded, and once the wire lifted her, she immediately began performing the dance steps she practiced in her hotel room yesterday.

She was truly dedicated, and everyone present could see it. She prepared thoroughly for every shot, so every take went smoothly, hardly missing a beat unless her co-actor was nervous or couldn’t stop laughing.

When it ended, the director called ’cut’, and the crew started slowly bringing her down.

The wire was manually controlled, letting her down little by little. Every time it stopped, Ji Niandong’s head would suddenly throb; this weightless feeling felt especially familiar.

Just like that day at the Tong Family, when she sat on the window and felt as if she had already fallen!

Ji Niandong felt a wave of panic in her heart, suddenly shouting, "Wait a minute!"

Everyone on set looked up at her suddenly, Ji Niandong took a gulp and said, "I want to try being let down directly from a higher altitude!" She paused, as if explaining, "There will be such scenes later on. I want to try it first, to see if there are no malfunctions, so next time we can do away with the stunt double?"

"Sister Tong, you can’t. If Sister Ada finds out, Brother Lazy Cat and I are in for it!" Xiao Le whispered a reminder from the side.

Chi Yue frowned, looking at her too.
