Chapter 319 Another Dangerous Encounter, Falling Off a Cliff
Upon arriving at the location, the technicians who were suspended by wires approached Ning Yao and explained the safety issues to her.
Lu Qingshan then instructed the crew to set up cameras and tents, each busy with their own tasks.
This was Ning Yao's first time trying wire work, and she was excited but also a little scared.
That's a cliff below; if you accidentally fall, you'll most likely be smashed to pieces.
"Don't worry, it's very safe," the technician reassured Ning Yao.
"Mmm." Ning Yao responded absentmindedly. It felt just like when she was bungee jumping; she knew it was safe, but she was still scared.
Tang Xiaoge changed her clothes and put on makeup. Seeing Ning Yao standing on the edge of the cliff in a daze, she stepped over.
Li Xuan, however, walked up to Ning Yao before Tang Xiaoge.
Her skin is much better than before; she hardly gets any pimples anymore, and the red marks are gradually fading.
During this period, she did not deliberately avoid any foods or drinks, and she did not touch any acne treatment products, whether taken orally or applied internally. She only used the serum that Luo Xiyao gave her, along with the toner and face cream that came with it.
These are all basic moisturizing sets, with no other benefits.
"Xi Yao, look at my face. I didn't wear makeup today, but doesn't my skin look much better? It's whiter and smoother, and the marks have faded a lot. The products from your friend's lab are really amazing. When will they be available for purchase?" Li Xuan was grateful to Ning Yao for saving her face. Luo Xi Yao was like a second parent to her.
Ning Yao stared blankly at the other side of the cliff. When she heard someone calling her, she belatedly realized what was happening and let out a short "Ah".
"Xi Yao, are you very scared?"
“I’ve been suspended by wires before, and it wasn’t very comfortable, especially for a long time… But don’t worry, I’ve been in this business for several years now, and these kinds of props rarely have problems, so you don’t need to feel guilty.”
As Li Xuan spoke, she stepped forward and grabbed Ning Yao's hand, trying to give Ning Yao some courage.
Ning Yao realized what Li Xuan meant and immediately chuckled.
"Pfft, it's not that serious. I've done bungee jumping before. The weather was great then, and visibility was high. But this cliff is all foggy below, and you can't see the bottom. I actually think it's not as exciting as bungee jumping. I'm not afraid. Thank you for your concern."
"That cosmeceutical product isn't available yet, so you can't buy it. But if you need it, I can give you a few more bottles."
“I’ll pay you, I won’t take it for free, it’ll be the price after it goes public!” Li Xuan wasn’t the type to take advantage of others, so she readily agreed.
It's already great that we were able to get the goods at all. These are cosmeceuticals that you can't buy on the market. As things stand, they're priceless.
"No need, let's just consider it making friends." Ning Yao quite liked Li Xuan; the girl was straightforward and had no ulterior motives.
"Wow, that's such a great deal for me! Thank you so much, Xiyao." After expressing her gratitude, Li Xuan secretly thought that she should buy Luo Xiyao a gift in return. She really couldn't bring herself to take something from her good friend for free.
"By the way, don't be too generous with this serum. After all, it's still in the patent application period. If someone with ulterior motives takes it and sells it to cosmetic brands, you'll lose more than you gain," Li Xuan reminded her.
She didn't want to see Luo Xiyao get tricked and suffer losses. This girl was not only beautiful, but also had a good personality and was very sincere to people.
There are so few people like that in the world these days. She is so lucky to be friends with Luo Xiyao, and she will definitely cherish it.
"Ok, I know."
Even so, Ning Yao knew that it wouldn't matter if it were leaked, because only she could provide the spiritual spring ingredient.
"Actors, take your positions!" Lu Qingshan shouted through a megaphone.
Li Xuan accompanied Ning Yao over, while Tang Xiaoge had already turned and left when she saw Li Xuan and Ning Yao talking.
After putting on the wire harness, Ning Yao felt a little breathless because it was very tight. However, she could overcome this minor discomfort. Filming such scenes on the edge of a cliff would be unsafe if the clothes were too loose.
"Don't be afraid." Tang Xiaoge gently patted Ning Yao's slender shoulder as she passed by.
Ning Yao pursed her lips. Did she look that fragile? It wasn't like she was really jumping off a cliff. She wasn't afraid at all!
Behind them were a group of pursuing extras, all of whom were armed, but none of them fired bullets at the slender woman in the cheongsam in front of them.
Because the orders from above were to capture Su Wanwan alive, not to obtain a cold corpse.
Ning Yao walked to the edge of the cliff against the wind, without a trace of fear on her face. Her shoulders were taut, bringing the dignified and indifferent Su Wanwan to life.
The waterfall, with its white torrents, makes a loud splashing sound; a slight misstep could send you tumbling off the cliff into oblivion.
At this moment, Ning Yao perfectly immersed herself in the role of Su Wanwan.
She gazed at the endless cliff, slightly raising her chin, her eyes indifferent and ruthless.
Tang Xiaoge, who hadn't yet taken the stage, saw Ning Yao getting closer and closer to the cliff and silently clenched his fists, his palms sweating profusely.
Ning Yao stood to the side, waiting for the commander to appear.
Seeing that the time was right, Lu Qingshan gestured for Tang Xiaoge, who was in the distance, to enter.
Tang Xiaoge was clearly lost in thought while staring at Ning Yao, and didn't move for a long time until Lu Qingshan finally couldn't bear it any longer and shouted "Crack!"
"Teacher Tang, what are you daydreaming about? It's your turn to go on stage!"
Tang Xiaoge suddenly realized what was happening. At that moment, Ning Yao also turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Let's do it again, Ms. Tang. I hope you can take this filming seriously and not waste the crew's resources." Lu Qingshan's impression of Tang Xiaoge has been greatly diminished.
As a director, she has seen countless works and approves of Tang Xiaoge as a person.
But after getting to know him, she discovered that Tang Xiaoge was not quite what she had imagined. Lately, he seemed like a lovesick teenager who often spaced out, easily lost in thought, and the person he was looking at was...
Lu Qingshan gave Ning Yao, who was dressed up as Su Wanwan, a meaningful look, but the person in question seemed completely unaware of the situation.
In the acting industry, it's common for people to develop feelings for each other while working on a project. However, Lu Qingshan never expected that a veteran actor who had been in the entertainment industry for over ten years would be so unable to control himself...
Moreover, it seems that actor Tang is clearly in love with the young actress.
The thought only flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind for a moment before she quickly put away her gossipy thoughts.
When they did it again, Tang Xiaoge finally performed normally, but just as Ning Yao's character, Su Wanwan, slipped on the waterfall and was swept off the cliff, he made a huge and basic mistake.
"Xi Yao!" Tang Xiaoge suddenly cried out in anguish.
They weren't calling out Su Wanwan's real name from the drama, but rather Luo Xiyao's real name.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan, who was sitting behind the camera, immediately furrowed her brows tightly.
She doesn't care what the actors think in private, but she has to be serious about them on screen.
This is the most basic professional conduct of an actor!
But the moment Ning Yao's wire protective gear came loose, she lost her balance and was swept away by the rushing waterfall.
Lu Qingshan no longer cared whether Tang Xiaoge called out to Su Wanwan or Luo Xiyao...
She hurriedly signaled to the nearby technicians to come forward and help. Tang Xiaoge, who was closest, suddenly had veins bulge on her neck and leaned half of her body out to catch Ning Yao.
Ning Yao's hand only brushed against his before quickly slipping away.
Because they were soaked by the waterfall, both of their skin was slippery, and Tang Xiaoge's hands didn't have enough friction to hold Ning Yao.
Guan Ying immediately gritted her teeth and rushed forward, but no matter how fast and nimble she was, she could only watch helplessly as Ning Yao fell off the cliff.
Ning Yao's face turned deathly pale. Before she could even cry for help, she was swept away by the waterfall from the edge of the cliff. Her slender figure was quickly submerged and disappeared without a trace...
