Chapter 450: It Was An Accident
From the beginning until now, this scene had been shot very smoothly.
An Sui thought that he might be able to finish it in one shot.
Who knew that this time, He Yuchi didn’t make any mistakes, but Song Qingyou did.
Most of the scenes in this movie were originally shot by the male and female leads. The others did not have many scenes, so the two of them dropped the ball a lot of times.
However, this was a small problem.
In the movie, the female lead stopped playing the cello after being discussed by the audience. It was the male lead who encouraged her and stood up for her, allowing the female lead to continue her performance.
Song Qingyou didn’t know if she had forgotten the plot or what, but she only stopped after she finished playing the whole song.
An Sui made a gesture, indicating for the ‘audience’ to be quiet.
“Qingyou, what’s wrong with you? Why would there be a problem at this time? Could it be that you were distracted?”
If she was distracted in the middle of filming, it would be exaggerated by some gossip media and become evidence of Song Qingyou’s lack of professionalism.
Song Qingyou handed the cello bow to Chen Lan, holding the cello in one hand and flipping through the script in the other.
“Not really.” She said, “I was too engrossed and thought of myself as a real instrument player.”
“If I stopped performing after being talked about by the audience, it doesn’t fit the setting of the female lead performing cello often… This part of the story should be changed.”
An Sui pondered for a moment and felt that it made sense, so he asked, “How? Directly change this scene to after you finish performing?”
Song Qingyou considered the feasibility of this change.
He Yuchi, who was standing below the stage, suggested, “If the audience’s discussion makes it unreasonable to interrupt the performance on stage, why don’t we add some unexpected situations? For example, if there’s a problem with the radio equipment, then the audience will take advantage of the situation and make a fuss?”
“Little He is right. This way, the plot doesn’t have to be changed too much.”
An Sui looked at Song Qingyou. “The only problem is that the radio equipment is broken. You won’t insist on playing, will you?”
“Probably not.” Song Qingyou looked around.
The theater on the cruise ship was not small. Without the radio equipment, even if a singer with a loud voice sang here, the quality would be greatly reduced, let alone musical instruments.
When An Sui heard this, he immediately started a heated discussion with He Yuchi about how to solve the problem with the radio equipment.
Just in case, An Sui asked the staff to move the cat tree to the front row where the camera would not be able to shoot it, but the people on the stage could see it, so as to prevent the scene from having another bad take.
With the help of the props team, Chen Lan stood on a chair one step higher and lifted the cat onto the shelf.
An Sui looked back.
“Is everything ready?”
“Action!”
The curtain fell again, and the wheels of the wheelchair rolled against the stage floor, making a slight sound.
At this moment, a cracking sound came from the silent theater.
It sounded like the cracking of joints when he moved his fingers.
Everyone in the theater was surprised and puzzled. They wanted to know who was so bold to make such a big noise after Director An said that they would start filming…
Wait, so big?
The theater was quiet, but it was not to the extent that there would be such a huge commotion just by bending one’s fingers!
Everyone who came to their senses could not help but grope for the chair under their buttocks in the darkness to see if there was something wrong with the chair.
However, no one found any problems. Instead, they heard another creaking sound. This time, the sound was much louder than before.
An Sui stood up, the veins on his forehead bulging. He really wanted to shout, who was the one who caused this commotion?
But before he could say anything, he saw Song Qingyou push away the extra who had handed her the cello and rush off the stage at a speed that could only be seen as an afterimage.
Something must have happened to Song Qingyou!
An Sui was stunned for a few seconds and immediately shouted, “Where’s the props team? Hurry up! Turn on the lights! Turn on all the lights!”
The staff reacted a beat slower. They only switched on the lights three seconds later, and only switched on the ones with the lowest brightness.
The lights in the theater suddenly lit up, and the people who had yet to adapt covered their eyes.
Only a few people near the cat tree cried out in surprise and quickly got up to dodge.
The moment the cat tree fell, Song Qingyou arrived in time.
However, the cat tree was built by the production team at the last minute. It was not very strong. In order not to collapse from the cat’s torture, the props team used a very heavy herringbone ladder.
Moreover, in order to let Song Qingyou see her cat, the ladder was at least 1.8 meters high.
Therefore, even if Song Qingyou tried her best to turn the tide, she could only catch the falling wooden board in time, as well as the creaking on it.
The miter ladder that was taller than a person crashed into three rows of seats nearby.
The audience, who were originally sitting here as extras, were shocked and felt a lingering fear.
Song Qingyou hugged Zhizhi tightly and didn’t let go. Her expression was still calm, but the pressure around her was so low that no one dared to get too close.
An Sui, who ran over quickly, saw that she had been looking at the collapsed staircase and hurriedly called the props team over.
“What’s going on? When we were filming during the day, there was no problem with this staircase at all. Why did it suddenly collapse now?”
“Director, we don’t know what’s going on either!” The props team’s manager said with a bitter face.
“The seats in the theater are ladder-shaped,” someone said. “Maybe the shelves weren’t placed properly.”
“This is impossible.” An Sui frowned. “Look at the reserved width of each row of seats. If the ladder is opened and placed here, it will be more than enough. It wouldn’t collapse. The most likely reason is that you didn’t place it properly!”
“Do you know that if Qingyou had reacted a little slower just now and no one had noticed this, someone might have been killed! It’ll be a major accident!”
The props team was at a loss for words.
“Meow-”
At this moment, a sudden meow attracted everyone’s attention.
An Sui turned around and saw Song Qingyou holding the cat tighter and tighter. Its four claws were flying wildly. If this continued, it would die!
The anger in his stomach had subsided a lot. He reminded her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, “Qingyou, if you hold it a little stronger, you might need to hold Zhizhi’s funeral!”
Song Qingyou came back to her senses and looked apologetically at the cat in her arms.
It was rare for Jiang Zhihan to see her like this. His cat instinct made him want to lick her face, so he had to look away.
Just as Song Qingyou thought Jiang Zhihan was angry, a cat’s paw patted the back of her hand.
The warm touch made her heave a sigh of relief.
An Sui gestured for Song Qingyou to go rest first, then said to everyone, “That’s all for today. Although this is just an accident, it has also sounded the alarm for everyone.. In order to prevent such an accident from happening again, everyone must focus on the work at hand…”
