CH 2387

As such, the man started training his daughter from an early age and never stopped developing her talent in the racing field.

However, Han Zhen was not interested in racing at all; even though she had inherited her father’s talent and despite her flair for racing, she found the sport to be a bore.

It was not until a misadventure that she became interested in racing and eventually came to know that her father used to be a really good car racer.

Later, she discovered that the father of the man she was in love with was responsible for her father’s mishap.

The character design for the female protagonist, this time, was unlike the usual clout of happy-go-lucky and silly yet pretty girls of idol dramas. This lady was calm, reliable, and decisive. As a racer, she was even cooler.

The only thing was, as the heroine in the novel had a short crop, Yun Shishi would have to cut hers short for this production, too.

This really bothered her.

The thought that she had to cut her hair short before the wedding was not a good one. She was worried that she might look ugly as a bride with short hair.

Besides, I have yet to take my wedding shoots!

When she first got hold of the script, she could not help feeling worried and nervous, so she went to her agent. “I read the script and there are many drifting scenes involved… This is bad! I don’t think I can do those scenes… They’re too dangerous for me!”

“Please. We have CGIs for those scenes! What are you so worried about? I’m not about to let you make a car drift.”

The protagonist felt better upon hearing that.

However, she would still need to complete a series of special training before filming began officially. Although some scenes could rely on stand-ins, a couple of the shoots still required the actress to complete the actions herself.

A few interesting incidents happened in the interim.

On her first go at the race track, she sat in the passenger seat to observe the look, mannerism, and behavior of a professional racer at his game. Alas, after screaming her head off one round on the track, she alighted from the vehicle to throw up at a corner.

It was too stimulating!

The racers, who were engaged by the production team, were all pros and approached the challenges head-on. A few times, the actress witnessed the rear of the car no more than five centimeters away from a fence, and beyond the fence was a cliff. If the car were to make a mistake and spin out of control, it would dash off this cliff.

She was absolutely horrified, which earned a chiding from her manager. “Please, woman; can you show a bit more guts?! You’re already so scared when it’s not even your turn at the wheel yet; don’t tell me that you’re gonna faint by the time it’s your turn?!”

The woman was not persuaded. “It’s too dangerous. How about me rejecting this production?”

“You can’t!” The manager would not back down. “Do you know how many actresses tried to get their hands on this role? The only reason you got this was the rave reviews from ‘The Green Apple’! I’m gonna cry for you to see if you pull out from this drama!”

She crossed her arms around her chest and teased, “Sure! Why don’t you cry for me to see now? I’ll promise to do my best, then.”

Her manager was dumbstruck, then actress continued. “Actually, I feel that Jun Mo will be a better fit for this show; don’t you think so? She looks cool, has short hair, and races as well.”

“The heroine only wears a crop; she isn’t a tomboy. Besides, Jun Mo is too manly for the emotional scenes. Her popularity isn’t as high as yours, so the investors aren’t interested.” After a pause, he spoke rather disheartenedly. “Are you trying to push my buttons by saying all these?”

“I’m just curious coz I’ve never seen you cry.”

“Stop your nonsense! You’d better put in all you have into the training over the next few days. I promise that you’ll become an A-lister with this production.”

“Alright, alright!” The artist could only give a rueful laugh. “I’ll do my best for this show.”

“That’s more like it!” He caressed her head. “Now, that’s my girl!”
