Chapter 345: The Three Chapters Pact (13)

She was somewhat speechless recalling the unreasonable request he had just made.

What to do? They could only take one step at a time, she guessed!

--------------------------------------

In the days that followed, leading up to the relocation, the pace of the shooting significantly intensified.

Due to the increased workload, Yu Zexiao had to rise before dawn every day, and sometimes he didn’t even get home until after midnight. Once he returned to his room, he was so exhausted that he could barely lift a little finger aside from sleeping. Often, he could only rest for two or three hours a day, and he couldn’t even make it back to the hotel; instead, he spent the night in the nanny vehicle.

With such an intense work schedule, Yu Zexiao had no leisure to tease her. Jian Anning, following his work, not only took care of his dietary and daily needs, but also had to help him pack his things—Yu Zexiao almost dismantled and rebuilt his hotel room. It was fully stocked with all kinds of living supplies.

However, perhaps because Yu Zexiao had plans to develop a relationship with Jian Anning, he didn’t continue to torment her as much. This time, he swiftly called Yang Haoming to arrange for a moving company and had his belongings transferred to the new hotel.

A new studio, a new environment. Just in time, the plot had developed to a new stage in the romance between the male and female leads, and a strong second female lead appeared, vying for the male lead’s affection. The newly renovated shooting base facilities weren’t exceptionally fancy, but there was one aspect that was definitely praiseworthy—the security measures were top-notch.

In previous shoots, aside from leaks from the production crew themselves, it was hard for stills and clips to get out. But there were always crowds of onlookers next door. Despite many requests, numerous stills were leaked in advance. However, the new shooting base was absolutely tranquil.

Even someone as restless as Yu Zexiao could settle down in such a shooting base, and the progress of filming quickened considerably.

Today’s shooting scene involved the villainous second female lead, who liked the male lead, capturing the "kind-hearted" female protagonist, Xiu Momo, and intimidating her to leave the male lead. Just as the female protagonist was about to suffer her beating, the male protagonist suddenly appeared, saving the day like a hero, and gave the second female lead a harsh lesson with a slap!

Yet, at this critical moment, the actress playing the villainous second female lead got her leg smashed by a moving box by accident during the relocation, dislocating her leg bone and her ankle was completely swollen, rendering her unable to walk!

Her leg was hit, and her ankle swelled up like a peach. She struggled not only with filming but even with walking! An old Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor had already set her bone and used massage techniques to help her stimulate circulation and relieve the channels. However, it would take at least three to four days for her complete recovery.

This turn of events sent Director Li into a panic!

The production had already delayed some of the shooting schedule because of the relocation, despite the crew working frantically to catch up. But "Rock Youth" was a weekly series, needing to release two episodes every week. At such a juncture, the second female lead had this accident!

When the news came, there was a bit of silence from everyone, but after a while, it was Jiang Xuanqi who laughed out loud, "Director, that’s easy, just find a stand-in to substitute for Zhang Ying for this segment. She can reshoot the parts that show her face later, right?"

Director Li said, "That’s possible, of course. But stand-ins are not that easy to find!"
