The director: “Cut! Very good! Very good! One shot!”
Everyone stood up and applauded. Brilliant, too brilliant! They were all shocked just now! The director secretly praised in his heart. What was wrong with the actors today? All of them performed exceptionally! Amelia also clapped hard. Nice, nice! The ghosts acted very well!
The director: “Prepare for the next scene!”
The next scene was in the courtyard outside a prison. It was a panoramic scene. The production team was all outside the courtyard. The props team, the stage supervisor, and the set designer repeatedly determined the location and amount of gasoline to ensure the female lead’s safety. When the flame rose later, the machine would shoot from a position. The flame was a meter away from the female lead and could ensure her safety.
“Alright, clear this area out.” The staff were busy. Julia, who was wearing the extras’ clothes and a hat covering her face, stared at the spot where the flame was not far away. There was a line drawn there. This line was what Sara needed to see. After she rushed out, she had to stand a meter away from this line. All the positions had been measured by ten feet.
Julia waited for an opportunity near the line. Finally, she waited until no one else was looking. She poured the bottle of what looked like a “drink” on a divider. Later, this divider would be in front of Sara. It was the second line of protection.
Julia was so nervous that her palms were sweating. Fortunately, no one noticed her. She left immediately after doing this. Little did she know that not far from her, a female ghost stared at her actions and saw everything she did.
The machine started operating. After confirming the actors’ positions, the director shouted, “Begin!’
Outside the set, Julia stood quietly. There was a hint of excitement in her eyes as she stared at the set. It was coming, it was coming! Soon, there was a fire and an explosion in front of the female lead. The female lead was sent flying! The fire was made of gasoline, the explosion was made of firecrackers, and the other post-production special effects were added. As soon as the female lead came out with the intelligence officer, she was surrounded by the Japanese. She and the intelligence officer held guns and fought as they retreated. With the enhancement of the protagonist’s aura, they killed 20 to 30 Japanese with a gun. They were so angry that they threw a bomb over!
With a bang, flames exploded!
Sara’s pupils contracted. ‘That’s not right. This fire isn’t normal!’
Sara’s scalp went numb. Before filming this scene, the director had told her that there was a certain level of danger and that she could use it as a substitute, but she had refused. The director, the stage supervisor, and the prop team would repeatedly experiment with this kind of scene. Where would the fire explode? She stood in the safety line. The cameras were all filming. The flame looked huge, but it was actually very far from her. She just had to fall back, but the partition under her was on fire. The flame burned directly in front of her. Sara could even smell her hair burning!
Outside the set, the props team and stage supervisor were also dumbfounded. What was going on? Wasn’t the flame too close to the female lead? She definitely couldn’t outrun the fire!
The props team’s faces instantly turned pale!
Sara thought to herself, It’s over!
However, at this moment, a black shadow flew over. Sara could vaguely hear
Amelia’s cute voice. She seemed to be saying something about going to
Pikachu. Then, Sara felt herself being sent flying by a force. All of this happened in an instant. In less than half a second, Sara fell to the ground as written in the script.
The props team and other staff stood outside the venue. When they saw this situation, they did not know if they should continue filming or what…
Sara was very professional, and the stage crew outside did not dare to make a sound. Sometimes, a shot was very rare. After it clicked, they had to do it again. Everything had to be reconfirmed, and the actors had to face danger again. What they did now was watch in fear to make sure that if anything went wrong, they would rush forward immediately.
The director didn’t notice anything amiss. He didn’t shout to stop, and Chris’s scenes couldn’t stop either. He was dressed in black and wore a cool mask. He appeared in the fire and threw a flying knife, cutting the throats of seven or eight Japanese. Right on the heels of that, he held a gun with both hands and shot randomly. Half of the Japanese fell, and there were still more than ten Japanese left. He fought with his bare hands, his eyes fierce.
At this moment, a person with his head lowered appeared in front of Chris. He thought that this was the main event, the prop to tear the Japanese apart. He first glanced at Sara and saw that she was lying on the ground motionless.
Then, he was anxious and angry.. His eyes were red as he roared, “Go to hell!”
