This kind of skill that youâd only see in TV special effects... is it real?
He looked around in disbelief, confirming there were no other props, and that no filming was actually taking place.
The assistant saw this scene and hurried over, whispering in his ear, the gist being: On this set, even if you provoke the director, donât provoke Heather!
Thereâs been a saying going around recently: The director is the biggest, but not untouchable; Heather isnât the biggest, but sheâs absolutely untouchable!
Anyone whoâs stayed in this crew for a while would deeply understand the implications of this.
After stabilizing herself, Heather turned around and glanced at Jiang Yang. That faint sweep of her gaze was full of disdain.
She wasnât even angry at his prank. She simply gave a casual thumbs-down and then turned to walk away, leaving Jiang Yang so furious that he almost stood up to rush after her, but the assistant held him back.
"Ancestor! For heavenâs sake, donât mess with this woman! No one knows if her background is solid or if itâs all coincidences, but Qu Leqi, who crossed her, never got anything good out of it. And Tang Ming, who tried to ambush her, was found dead in the wilderness!"
"Really that exaggerated?" Jiang Yang still didnât quite believe it. "If sheâs really that impressive, why hasnât she done anything before? Why stay here as a stunt double?"
"No idea!" The assistant was just as baffled. "A lot of people just saw itâshe knows the famous Fourth Master Gu from Xicheng, and sheâs good friends with Mrs. Gu. Now everyoneâs on high alert not to provoke her, so you better wise up too. Just pretend you didnât see her. If youâre upset, suck it up. Donât poke the bear! Itâs better to make friends than enemies."
"Then sheâs seriously weird... Knowing someone as big as Fourth Master Gu, yet still working here as a stunt doubleâwhat, is she crazy?"
If she knows such powerful people, why not do something better?
...
After filming wrapped up, the crew was busy packing up. The director offered to treat all the crew members to relax, but he himself took the assistant director over to Heather, pretending to chat while waiting for Nian Shen to come out.
"Wei Wei, I donât have Mr. Guâs contact info, so Iâll have to trouble you to reach out to him."
"Oh right, I totally forgot, director. You donât have a reservation yet, do you? A friend of mine insisted on hosting, so I agreed. Heâs already reserved the spot, and Mr. Gu knows the address. Theyâll be there on time."
"Ah, no problem at all!" The director didnât mind one bit, waving his hands, "Iâm close with the other sideâIâll cancel with them. Your arrangement works just fine!"
As they were talking, Jiang Yang walked over, "Director, why didnât you invite me for the meal?"
"How could I not invite you? Didnât you say you had something going on tonight?"
"I canceled it. I heard there are a lot of handsome guys and pretty girls coming, so I have to join in the fun! Come on, weâre all from the same crewâgotta network and build some bonds when needed," Jiang Yang said, as he casually placed a hand on Heatherâs shoulder.
"One." Heather, always composed, simply folded her arms calmly. Like an unmoving mountain, she didnât hurriedly brush him off. Instead, she started counting.
"Two."
"Threeâ"
Before she finished counting, Jiang Yang abruptly pulled his hand back, let out an awkward laugh, and quickly shifted to another topic to brush it off.
The people nearby all chuckled along, cooperating with Jiang Yangâs change of topic, but internally, they were almost breaking down.
This girl, with her natural aura, is truly someone you donât want to mess with...
