Meng Yuanyuan thought about what her Financial Backer had told her and then looked at Gu Hecheng, who was standing right in front of her. She left unwillingly and dejectedly.
The filming location was as bright as day. It was bustling with people and looked very lively.
However, the moment she left the area, it was as if she was separated by an unknown barrier. It was pitch-black and only the lonely moonlight was left to accompany her.
Meng Yuanyuan vented her anger on the pebbles under her feet and kicked a few of them into the lake.
Because there was a lakeside scene in this movie, there was a small lake around the filming location. In the future, they would be filming here.
But now, there was no one here except for Meng Yuanyuan, who was stomping her feet and venting her anger.
"Ah!" Meng Yuanyuan kicked the pebbles again.
But this time, she was unlucky. The lake was wet and moss was everywhere, so she slipped.
Thus, with a splash, she fell into the ice-cold lake water.
In that moment of panic, the screaming Meng Yuanyuan realized that if she stood up, she could touch the bottom of the lake. The lake water was only up to her chest.
Meng Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment. Then, she quickly wobbled out of the lake like a clumsy penguin.
She wore thick clothes in the winter. Once she went into the water, she washed a lot of water. It was very heavy.
Meng Yuanyuan shouted angrily. There was no one around, so no one paid her any attention. She could only curl up and hug her poor self as she walked back to the filming location.
"Meng Yuanyuan didn't act properly. Now she's running around and asking everyone to look for her. She's so troublesome."
Shen Qianqian was in good condition today, so the last night scene was shot very quickly. Therefore, before Meng Yuanyuan could return, everyone realized that she was missing. The director asked everyone to look for her.
Because of the comparison between Shen Qianqian and her husband, the crew felt that Meng Yuanyuan was a troublemaker.
Therefore, when the drenched Meng Yuanyuan returned to the set, many people were gloating behind her back.
Shen Qianqian also saw Meng Yuanyuan's miserable state and kindly wanted to give Meng Yuanyuan the jacket that the crew had given her, but Meng Yuanyuan pretended not to hear her.
The assistant wanted to take it, but was stopped by Meng Yuanyuan. "Let's go. Don't bother with those cats and dogs."
When the director's assistant heard that Meng Yuanyuan was leaving, she remembered that she still had a scene to shoot, so she called out to her awkwardly.
Of course, Meng Yuanyuan did not forget about it, but she was not in the mood to shoot at all. Therefore, she turned her head and shouted, "I'm already like this. What's the point of shooting? I'm not filming today. Besides, it's not like there haven't been accidents that have delayed filming. What's the fuss about? I'll pay for the losses, okay?"
After Meng Yuanyuan finished speaking, she did not care about what others thought of her. She simply turned around and left, leaving them behind.
Shen Qianqian saw Meng Yuanyuan's behavior and shook her head. She said to Gu Hecheng, "Let's go. I've already finished filming my scene. "
"Sister Yuan, wait for me. What's wrong with you?" Meng Yuanyuan's assistant hurriedly took off her jacket. Then, she asked Meng Yuanyuan to take off her jacket and put it on her.
"Why don't you keep following me? What are you doing? "Although the assistant had come to help Meng Yuanyuan as soon as possible, she was still ignored by Meng Yuanyuan.
Meng Yuanyuan took off her wet clothes and did not put them away properly. Instead, she directly threw them at her assistant.
She threw them at her assistant. The assistant, who was caught off guard, staggered and shivered because of the cold wet clothes.
The others also watched quietly from the sidelines. Their hands seemed to be busy packing up their things. In fact, it was obvious that they were all pricking up their ears and peeking out of the corners of their eyes. Their hands were moving very slowly.
"Sister Yuan, let's go back and take a shower. Otherwise, we'll catch a cold." The assistant was not angry. Instead, she obediently hugged Meng Yuanyuan's clothes and urged her to go back to the hotel.
Although she was cursing her assistant, Meng Yuanyuan still took her assistant back. After all, she was the only person left who could work for her. If she did not bring her back, who would serve her later?
Until Meng Yuanyuan and her assistant left, everyone was still thinking about this farce with relish.
"I really don't know how Meng Yuanyuan became like this. It's so satisfying." Someone said.
Everyone chimed in one after another.
The director, who was casually ignored by Meng Yuanyuan, was already dissatisfied with Meng Yuanyuan. Coupled with the uproar over the Financial Backer Incident and the obvious lack of focus during filming, he disliked this second female lead even more.
He slammed the table. "I'm afraid Meng Yuanyuan doesn't want to be the second female lead anymore! She always doesn't focus on filming and only knows how to cause trouble! Does she think that I haven't filmed enough? "
The people around the director were not close to Meng Yuanyuan. Naturally, no one spoke up for her.
However, many people added insult to injury. "That's right. I heard that she likes to find fault with Shen Qianqian. She's probably jealous of Shen Qianqian."
"She doesn't have the ability, yet she finds fault with others! Really … "
The director was trembling with anger. However, he still could not do anything to Meng Yuanyuan.
This was because it was the Financial Backer who had invested in Meng Yuanyuan to be the second female lead. Moreover, more than half of the filming was over. It was even more difficult to change the second female lead so easily.
Everyone else comforted the director. "It's okay. We can cut her scenes appropriately."
"Actually, Meng Yuanyuan is not bad. She's worth the investment. Her acting is barely passable."
The director was also momentarily bewitched. After sitting for a while, he rested. He held his head and his voice was filled with fatigue.
"If we suddenly cut her scenes, I'm afraid that Meng Yuanyuan will complain to the Financial Backer. It will be troublesome to coordinate with them. Besides, we still have the biggest investor. The main lead has not spoken yet. Let's just leave it as it is. You're right. At the very least, she can still be used for training. "
In the end, the director waved his hand. "Let's go. It's late. Let's go back and rest."
"Director too." Thus, they all said goodbye and left the filming location.
After they returned, the assistant quickly went downstairs to buy Meng Yuanyuan some ginger soup and cold medicine while Meng Yuanyuan was taking a shower.
However, Meng Yuanyuan disliked the taste of the ginger soup and refused. She only ate two cold medicine capsules.
The next morning, it was time to shoot. Everyone was ready, but Meng Yuanyuan did not come for a long time.
The director frowned and asked the stage manager in charge of coordination, "Why is Meng Yuanyuan not here yet? Has her assistant contacted you?"
The stage manager was also confused. He shook his head and said, "No news at all."
"Then why didn't you call her?!" The director was already angry. When he heard that the stage manager was not responsible at all, he was even angrier.
The stage manager shrunk his neck in fear and quickly went to the side to contact Meng Yuanyuan.
The person who answered the phone was Meng Yuanyuan's assistant.
It turned out that Meng Yuanyuan's assistant went to look for Meng Yuanyuan early in the morning. However, no one came to open the door for her for a long time. The assistant did not have the key card to Meng Yuanyuan's room, so she had to go to the hotel to open the door. Then, she took care of Meng Yuanyuan in the room and forgot to tell the crew.
Meng Yuanyuan fell into the lake last night and did not take precautions. Her body was weak, so she caught a cold and had a fever.
When the director heard the stage manager's report, he waved his hand and skipped Meng Yuanyuan's scenes. Instead, he filmed other scenes first.
After a pause, the director said to the coordinator, "Oh yes, when you and Meng Yuanyuan's assistant are working together, Meng Yuanyuan must be here tomorrow, even if she is sick."
Meng Yuanyuan had been in trouble for the past few days. She had taken many days off, which wasted a lot of time and a lot of money.
The director's patience with her had reached its limit. After all, there was another model worker who insisted on filming even if she was sick. Compared to her, Meng Yuanyuan could not bear the hardship and was not dedicated enough.
However, the director still did not see Meng Yuanyuan the next day.
Although Meng Yuanyuan's fever had subsided, her cold was still very serious. She had a runny nose and a cough, so she did not want to go out at all.
How could she read her lines if she kept coughing? As Meng Yuanyuan thought about it, she did not follow the director's instructions to go to the set.
Of course, the director was naturally furious. Even if the assistant had taken leave early this time and explained the situation to him.
Okay, since you said that you are coughing, I will give you two more days off.
The director suppressed his anger for the sake of the investor's investment, but he said that he would visit Meng Yuanyuan in two days. If she was no longer coughing, she had to come to the set for filming.
At that time, the director was explaining the scene to Shen Qianqian, so he sighed and said to Shen Qianqian, "Sigh, if only everyone was as worry-free as you."
Shen Qianqian smiled but did not say anything.
If everyone was like me, I would be shameless.
Moreover, with Meng Yuanyuan's IQ, it would be difficult for her to reach my level.
Just like that, Meng Yuanyuan's filming was delayed for a few more days. The atmosphere in the set was tense every day. Everyone was as quiet as a chicken. They were afraid that the angry director would scold them to vent his anger.
On the third day, the director ordered the coordinator to visit Meng Yuanyuan early in the morning.
When the coordinator arrived, Meng Yuanyuan was still sleeping. The person who opened the door was her assistant.
"Sorry, Yuan Jie is still sleeping. I will wake her up immediately." The assistant asked the coordinator to wait in the living room and then went to the bedroom to wake Meng Yuanyuan up.
Because there were a few days off, Meng Yuanyuan was very unrestrained. She used her phone until late at night every day and slept until morning.
Last night, she went to bed in the middle of the night, so she could not get up at all. Therefore, the assistant risked provoking Meng Yuanyuan to wake her up.
Meng Yuanyuan took out a pillow and threw it at the assistant. "Why are you making so much noise so early in the morning?"
