Chapter 519
al Channel was live streaming Lin Ning's segment with Warmth. On camera, Warmth looked stunningly beautiful with no flaws whatsoever in her makeup or appearance from every angle.The danger in his eyes...Chapter 519
He was always keen on collaborating with Hollywood big names, either famous models or movie stars, so choosing to work with Warm made many people feel surprised.
Warm also seized this chance and strived to do her best.
Micheal was a very big star who had a terrible temper. The pressure for Warm to collaborate with him was immense. Everyone in the band listened only to Micheal, and as the female lead of the music video, Warm could not afford to use stand-ins during dangerous actions; she had to do everything herself.
If anything went wrong, Micheal would lose his temper and start cursing people out. Warm was scolded five or six times for being impolite, as this person was notorious for nitpicking.
She didn't like how Hollywood viewed Easterners. Every time she participated in movie making, most of the roles were action ones. Her agent had once wanted her to take on a few major production films, where she would play an Eastern woman who was very skilled at martial arts and fighting. It seemed that in their minds, Eastern people, whether male or female, could only act in action movies when they reached Hollywood.
This was the predicament many Easterners faced when entering Hollywood.
It was too restrictive.
Warm turned them all down. She knew that once she took on a role like this one time, similar roles would be forced upon her again and again in the future. In addition, the production cycle of Hollywood films was three to four times longer than those domestically made; she couldn't afford it. Therefore, she decided not to take any such roles.
She wasn't suited for these types of characters. She excelled in dramatic films that focused on psychological expression, yet Hollywood required special effects rather than acting skills.
So she is very patient and meticulous when it comes to taking on films.
The music video (MV) doesn't matter much, but this time around, the MV requires Nuwan to wear a tight leather jacket and dance energetically with Michael. There's also a set of martial arts moves that Nuwan needs to perform independently and flawlessly, making for an impressive scene.
She could tell from her own appearance that she didn't fit this character well, but Michael thought it was great and interesting; after all, it’s just an MV, so Nuwan wasn’t too concerned about it.
But the filming turned out to be quite difficult.
This person's temper is even worse than Lin Ning's. If you can't perform as he wants despite his guidance a few times, he would get angry and hurl insults at people. This man will demonstrate a long sequence of moves for you but starts criticizing if it’s not done right in one go. Nuwan, being kind-natured, doesn’t argue with him.
Over these half a year or so, she has seen the big-headed attitudes of too many superstar actors.
The MV shoot didn't proceed smoothly, and on top of that, Nuwan needed to take one day off for the premiere of "Lady Hongyu." This was stipulated in her contract. Michael was quite unsatisfied with the progress and hoped that Nuwan could give up attending the premiere to stay and film the MV. Without hesitation, she refused.
She can't let Lin Ning down.
More than anyone else, she understands that without this international director, Lin Ning, there would be no Nuwan of today.
To always remember where one's blessings come from.
Moreover, she knew that Ye Feimi would attend the premiere and Mo Xiaobai would also be present.
The warm refusal made Michael quite unhappy. He was a self-centered man; if it weren't for the contract specifying otherwise, he might have forcibly kept Warm to shoot the music video at this moment.
This time while shooting the music video, Warm was discussing her next set of actions with Michael in the studio when she had just finished one set. The music video only had a day's worth of progress left, and she needed to catch a flight back to City A that night for the premiere.
Suddenly, the hanging chandelier above them swayed slightly. While they were busy discussing work, someone suddenly shouted "be careful." It turned out the chandelier wasn't fastened securely and fell down all of a sudden. They swiftly moved away upon hearing the sound, but in the chaos, Warm was accidentally pushed, causing her to fall towards a decorative bronze statue beside her along with the lighting box. The chandelier crashed loudly by her feet without hitting her directly, yet she stumbled and hit her head on the statue due to tripping不慎絆倒, blood continuously seeping out, leading to her immediate loss of consciousness.
The scene was in utter chaos. Incidents happening during a shoot were common occurrences, but Michael hurriedly instructed someone to take Warm to the hospital immediately. Warm's agent promptly informed Dragon Chengtian about it.
When Warm woke up, it was already noon the next day. The wound on her head had been treated and bandaged with white gauze; however, she still wasn't feeling well, her head dizzy and heavy.
She missed her flight since it was supposed to depart at seven PM yesterday evening, which would have meant arriving in City A around ten AM today. The premiere would start tonight, yet now there were only six hours left until the event, and even if she had wings, she wouldn't be able to make it on time.
Warm was extremely upset about this; Du Di said, "Don’t worry about it, your health is important. Don’t think about anything else right now."
Warm personally called Lin Ning to apologize; at present, no one could deliver her to City A in time for the premiere. Despite his usual fiery temper, Lin Ning understood that Warm’s accident during the music video shoot had become public knowledge on social media and newspapers, so there was nothing he could do about it.
Cai Xiaoqing, who had experience as an agent, suggested to Lin Ning that when Warm couldn't arrive at the premiere in time, they could prepare a pre-recorded message for her, which might come in handy.
It didn't take much effort for Lin Ning to put together a VCR within just a few hours, but Warmth kept apologizing repeatedly over the phone.
Ye Feimo naturally knew about Warmth's accident; there were already news reports online last night. Since Little White had arrived in City A, he phoned Dragon Chengtian to inquire about Warmth’s condition despite not showing much emotion on his face but being very attentive to the information online.
Fortunately, everything turned out fine for her except for a concussion that wasn't life-threatening and would heal with a few days of rest. However, this wasn’t the case with Chengtian. Warmth's injury had been brought over by her agent; at the shooting site, only one production assistant was present to check on her status. Since Michael didn't come, when Dragon Chengtian’s fiery temper flared up, he severely beat up Michael until his face was bruised and swollen.
As Chengtian put it, if my beloved little sister can’t shoot the music video, then we all might as well take some rest.
This wasn't an unexpected disaster for Michael.
Dragon Chengtian had long harbored resentment towards Michael. He once went to see Warmth recording the MV; seeing his beloved being scolded mercilessly by others made him seethe with anger, wishing he could pummel Michael like a punching bag.
If it hadn't been for Warmth's intervention, Chengtian would have beaten him up long ago.
This time, Michael truly infuriated Dragon Chengtian by causing Warmth to get hurt. He naturally wouldn’t be gentle; Michael didn't even know who had beaten him up when he was hospitalized due to injuries more severe than Warmth’s. Therefore, the progress of the MV would definitely have to halt.
When Warmth woke up and found out that her brother had beaten up Michael, she couldn’t help but lament, "Brother, how could you randomly beat people What if…"le but her eyes held no mirth; they carried a chill as she said, "If it’s not inconvenient, I suggest you call her ‘Mrs. Tang’. There isn’t anything about my affairs that she shouldn’t know."Implicitl...
