106 My Crew Doesn’t Keep Cripples

Fu Xi sneered.

“If you want to do it, do it seriously. My crew doesn’t keep cripples.”

Her words were merciless. Xu Rou pinched her fingers and forced herself to calm down. She lowered her head and promised in a sincere tone, “I’ll take it seriously.”

“Good. Let’s get back to filming.”

Fu Xi sat down at the side and glanced at the director. “Which scene are you filming?”

“It’s a palace drama. The female lead has to slap the second female lead. The second female lead has to pretend to be weak for the emperor to see.”

After the director finished speaking, Xu Rou’s eyes widened.

‘Slaps?’

She quickly said, “Well let’s find a substitute.”

‘No. You’ll take the field yourself.’

Fu Xi’s words blocked her delusions. “As a dedicated actor, you have to be responsible for every scene. Finding a substitute will lower the quality.”

Xu Rou silently clenched her fists.

Bitch!

However, when she thought of Gong You’s attitude towards Fu Xi, she still gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement. “Alright, I’ll film it myself.”

There was a quick, loud slap around the set.

“Pa, pa.”

Fu Xi shouted for the director to stop first. “Your expression is too stiff. Let’s film again.”

Xu Rou thought that two slaps were enough, but when she heard this, her eyes widened in anger.

“Do we have to reshoot?”

However, the female lead did not stop. Without giving her a chance to react, she hit her again.

After taking a few more shots, Xu Rou felt that her face was numb from the pain and her right cheek was swollen. Only then did Fu Xi finally get a satisfactory shot.

“Alright, let’s take a break. Everyone should learn from Miss Xu and see how dedicated she is.”

After saying that, she smiled gently. Xu Rou was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

‘You call that dedication?’

She was clearly bullying her!

Seeing that Fu Xi had no intention of leaving and was sitting at the side watching with a smile, she thought for a moment and secretly took out her phone to make a call while going to the washroom.

In the afternoon, the filming continued. Fu Xi leisurely drank tea as she supervised Xu Rou’s filming.

Not long after, a familiar voice sounded from outside the venue. “Xi’er.”

Fu Xi turned around and saw Gong Hao standing outside the arena smiling at her with her favorite osmanthus cake in his hand.

Fu Xi’s smile immediately became bright. “Ah Hao, come quickly.”

Gong Hao strode over. She opened her arms and was about to hug him when his expression changed.

“Look out!”

Gong Hao ran to her side at lightning speed and hugged her, his body spinning to the side.

A whirlwind blew past her arm, and the sharp pain was instantaneous.

“Pa.”

Accompanied by a loud sound, the crew gathered around and looked at the two of them in fear.

A wound appeared on Fu Xi’s arm, and blood flowed out. Gong Hao frowned and called for the doctor to bandage her wound, but she stared at the broken equipment light on the ground.

This was the light hanging above her head. If Gong Hao hadn’t pushed her away just now, it would have hit her head.

At that time, even if she didn’t die, she would be seriously injured!

Fu Xi’s eyes turned cold when she saw how smooth the broken part of the rope was.

“Ah Hao, this rope was cut by someone.”

Hearing her words, Gong Hao’s temperature suddenly dropped. “Let’s bandage the wound first.”

Fu Xi nodded. She knew that he was worried and gently let him and the doctor treat her wound.

After bandaging it, Gong Hao heaved a sigh of relief and stared at the people on the set.

Since it was man-made, the perpetrator was in their midst.
