Two months later.
Linyang City.
"All camera positions, pay attention! Eh? Whereâs the stunt double?" The director looked around, stood up, and shouted, "Donât waste time! Hurry up the stunt double!"
The assistant also shouted across the field, "Whatâs the name of that new stunt double again? Heather something?"
"Itâs Heather, Sister Ming."
"I donât care what her name is, where is she? We are about to start shooting!"
"Heyâ! Heather! Weâre starting to shoot, hurry up and get in position, the director is getting angry!" The crew member grabbed a person passing by her.
Heather, who had already changed into a black tight outfit, turned her head and said indifferently, "Got it."
The crew member, cooled by her tone, muttered to a colleague nearby, "Whatâs with the attitude? I just donât get it, sheâs just a stunt double who happens to look a bit like Xiao Man, not a real superstar. Who is she trying to impress with that attitude?"
"Itâs a pity for her face! Not to mention Xiao Man is already dead, even if she were alive, Heatherâs face, if it hadnât been ruined, would have been very popular in this circle. If they couldnât afford Xiao Man, at least they could get a high-quality replica."
"Who knows whether her face was modeled after Xiao Man? I guess itâs probably a failed plastic surgery, thatâs why it turned out this way."
"Stunt double! Later, you will jump from there, remember to take a gun and shoot in mid-air, and land perfectly. Perfect! Cool! Get it right in one take, got it?"
Heather stood at a position as high as the second floor, with a foam mat below, and gave them an "OK" gesture.
"Good! All camera positions, attentionâAction!"
Heather sprinted a distance and when she reached the edge, she flipped down from the second floor without any safety measures, rolled over on the foam mat, and landed quite perfectly, butâ
"Cutâ! Stunt double! Did you understand my instructions? You should have shot backwards in mid-air."
Yet, this jump still startled many people: "-0- Although sheâs a stunt double, isnât it a bit too exaggerated to have no safety measures? What if something happens..."
"You donât know this director, his reputation is particularly bad, always stepping over people to get ahead, he certainly wouldnât care about a stunt double."
Heather stood up, dusted herself off, and spoke to the director with an extremely calm tone, "At this time, couldnât you just take an extra side shot of the leading actress?"
"What do you know! Are you the director or am I the director? This is supposed to be a one-shot take, no extra shots! Do it again!"
Heather went back to her original position, someone saw her smirk coldly, not knowing what she was laughing at.
This time, she still failed to shoot mid-air.
The director immediately got angry, "Can you act or not? Iâve been telling you for so long, itâs like talking to a wall!"
"Director, arenât you just wasting my time?" said the comfortably resting leading actress Qu Leqi who was covered with a blanket, "If she canât do it, just replace her."
"Leqi, just wait a little longer, it will be done soon! Next take will definitely be a success!" After pacifying the leading actress, the director walked up to Heather, poking her with his finger and yelling, "Can you act or not! If you canât, just get lost!"
The directorâs finger waved in front of her face, almost touching her nose several times.
Heather suddenly grabbed the directorâs wrist, displaying an unskilled but effective wrist lock. To outsiders, it seemed she hadnât exerted much force, but the directorâs painful expression said it all.
"Director, the last person who dared to poke me with a finger, his hand is already broken."
