Chapter 512

“Sister Lucy, do you want me to buy medicine for you? Or do you want to ask the director for a leave of absence?”

The medicine she bought last month was supposed to be in Lucy’s bag but she could not find it no matter how much she rummaged through it.

Lucy looked at Carina’s anxious expression and shook her head.

“I’m fine.”

She forced herself up and sat in front of the makeup mirror with a pale face.

“Just use a thermos to help me prepare a cup of hot water later. There’s no need to make a fuss.”

Carina saw her pale face and wanted to say something but hesitated and simply nodded her head.

Before long, the rest of the actors also entered.

As there were only a few makeup rooms, several people had to be cramped in one room.

Due to yesterday’s incident, everyone more or less had some opinions about Lucy but they did not dare to show it on their faces due to her role as the main female lead as well as her rising influence in the circle in the past two years.

However, Carina still keenly noticed the sense of rejection and isolation that naturally flowed out.

She pulled a face and was about to burst out when someone tugged silently at her sleeve.

Lowering her head, she saw Lucy gently shaking her head at her.

Carina was helpless and could only give up, and went out in a huff to ask a makeup artist to do Lucy’s makeup.

Not far away, a trace of dark glee flashed in Astrid’s eyes when she saw this.

It did not take long for the makeup artist to come in and set Lucy’s hair. Filming would start at eight in the morning. Lucy looked at the time and went out.

According to the notice, today’s shoot would be for a Chinese opera.

Lucy was not too worried. After all, although her body was uncomfortable, Chinese operas were easy to act in. It was not an intense show and there were no intense fluctuations needed, so it was not difficult at all.

However, when she arrived at the set, she found out that the actor who was supposed to play with her suddenly got seriously ill today and took a leave of absence.

Levi waved her over when he saw her.

Lucy walked over.

“There’s a last-minute change in today’s plan. Since the indoor scene can’t be filmed, we’ll go ahead and film the outdoor water scene first. You should go prepare for it and let the choreographer show you the moves.”

Lucy was stunned. She looked at the script in Levi’s hand in confusion.

“Director Fernadez, but...”

Levi frowned and gave her an unpleasant look.

“Hugh has been hospitalized for acute gastroenteritis. The crew has to rush now and doesn’t have much time to spend here, so keep your opinions to yourself. Besides, the water scene has to be filmed sooner or later, and it’s good that today’s weather isn’t cold too. I’m also thinking of you, understand?”

Lucy bit her lip and nodded after a moment.

“I understand. Thank you, director.”

Levi waved his hand and she went down to get ready.

Carina was shocked to learn that Lucy was going to shoot the water scene today.

“Sister Lucy, you can’t go into the water. Your body is already uncomfortable, how can you still continue?”

Lucy sighed again.

“Carina, go and get some cotton swabs for me.”

“But Sister Lucy-”

“It’s okay.”

Lucy interrupted her words. Seeing this, Carina stomped her foot and ran to the lobby.

Lucy found the action choreographer and learned the moveset planned out. The actor she would be filming the water scene with was also present.

One of the staff approached to hook her up to the wires and the shooting started.

It was another fight scene.

There were already many fight scenes in this drama and as the main female lead, Lucy naturally had more. At least 40% of her scenes were fight scenes.

If it were a normal day, she would still be able to handle it.

However, her body was sick today. Even though she tried her best, it was difficult to achieve the effect the director wanted.

“Cut!”

Levi frowned and averted his eyes away from the screen to look at the two people hanging above the pond.

“What’s wrong with you, Lucy Katz? Did you miss breakfast or something? You don’t even have the strength to raise your sword. How can you play a female general like this?”

Lucy pursed her lips. She knew that he was not deliberately trying to humiliate her. It was because her performance today was truly poor. She could only say, “Let’s go again. I’ll try my best.”

Levi did not say anything else and sat down again with a grunt.

After shouting for another take, the two squared up and started acting.

The plot was that after the two fought for a while, the female lead that Lucy was playing would get stabbed and fall into the water.

It was late autumn and already cold. Although the sun was shining today, the temperature was still quite low.

The scene was shot at a small wild pond outside with duckweed sprouting all around.

After a few bouts, Lucy was soon “stabbed” and fell into the water with a scream.

The actor naturally flew back to the shore, holding a beautiful sword in his hand. His body rose, tall and straight.

Lucy struggled in the water a few times before finally managing to break through the water surface under a pile of colorful weeds. She pointed at the shore and screamed, “Forrest Larson, how dare you stab me!”

“Cut!”

Director Fernandez’s voice sounded at the right time.

“Pass.”

The simple word caused everyone present to breathe a huge sigh of relief.

The actor immediately changed from being cold and indifferent to nervous and concerned. He looked at Lucy, who was shivering in the water, and asked, “How are you? Are you okay?”

Lucy trembled in the cold and even her teeth were chattering, but she shook her head. “I’m fine.”

The staff hurriedly pulled her up.

On the shore, Carina quickly came over with hot water and blankets.

Seeing how Lucy’s face was completely white from the cold, Carina’s eyes started to turn red.

“Sister Lucy.”

Lucy patted the back of her hand comfortingly and whispered, “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

Carina pursed her lips and did not dare to say anything else, and simply wrapped Lucy tightly in a towel.

Lucy took a few mouthfuls of hot water and went over to Levi.

“Director, was that take okay?”

Levi nodded and looked up at her again. He frowned when he saw that she was dripping wet and her face was white as a sheet.

“There aren’t any scenes left for you today. You should go back and rest.”

Lucy nodded.

“Thank you, director.”

She turned to leave. Not far away, Astrid saw this scene and secretly frowned.

“Director.”

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 She walked over and smiled at Levi. “Is it my scene next?”

Levi nodded and told the assistant director to tell her about the scene. Lucy turned over her shoulder to look, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.

Back at the hotel, Lucy took a hot bath. She had just collapsed on the bed when she felt her body ache as if she was falling apart.

She closed her eyes. Her head was also dizzy as if something was stirring in her mind, making everything painful and spinning.

Carina had run outside to buy medicine. When she saw Lucy lying in bed, she quickly poured a cup of hot water.

“Sister Lucy, are you okay?”
