It was so hot today. The surface temperature was over 104℉. Even at night, it didn't cool down a little bit.
Marina Tang was in the nanny car enjoying the cool air from the A/C, while her assistant squatted by the side, carefully picked off the washed grapes one by one, and handed them to Marina's thin lips.
Marina pushed them away hard, and said, "Don't you know I'm on diet these days? Grapes contain too much sugar, which will make me gain more weight!"
"Marina likes litchi. Why don't you buy some litchi back?" Tina Chen, agent of Marina, said leisurely while browsing Twitter.
The assistant whined silently, "Grapes contain too much sugar, then isn't litchi the same? Don't I know who was so hungry last night and ate that durian cake in secret?!"
But he dared not argue with her. He replied with a bitter smile, "Well… the location of the set is too far away. I've searched for several miles only to find one fruit seller, and there was really no litchi…"
"Come on. Don't make excuses for your laziness. Now go out and give away these fruits to the crew. They only attract flies in the car." Marina didn't bother to even lift her eyelids. She just closed her eyes and rested.
The assistant had to carry the fruit out of the car unwillingly. Feeling insulted, he couldn't help thinking, "How dare you see yourself as a queen with such poor acting skills? And you call yourself an actress? You are just another pretty face! Your acting is not as good as that Su…"
As soon as he looked up, he just saw a pair of slender, fair-skinned and powerful legs swinging in the air. Under the bright light, they looked so gorgeous that no man on the site could take his eyes off.
The assistant was stunned there. Fair to say, since he entered this industry 6-7 years ago, he had never seen any female star' legs that could compare with this ones. Definitely no! It was too perfect! Perfect enough to be insured!
At the meantime, the owner of such beautiful legs was about to jump from the balcony on the second floor. Although her body was attached to the protective wire tightly, and the preventive measures had been done perfectly, it still looked terrifying.
Marina Tang played a wealthy daughter. In this scene, she was framed and was going to be pushed down from the second floor by a vicious woman. Considering that Miss Tang was very valuable, the crew had asked a double actor to finish the acting. The stand-in's name is Sue Lan. She had been a double for many years. Most importantly, she looked alike Marina. If she put on costumes and makeup, then it was barely possible to see the difference from the distance, not to mention she was more beautiful than Marina in that way.
So as a result, nearly half of Marina's plays in this film were completed by Sue Lan. As long as Marina didn't need to show her face in the scene, she would let Sue do it for her. Meanwhile, she just took a rest in the nanny car, while getting all credits and tons of money!
At that time, Sue Lan was already standing on the railing of the balcony, barefooted. She tried to keep her body in balance with careful moves. Her dark hair brushed her soft cheeks; her figure was reflected on the wall, forming an elegant outline. This perfect combination of light and shadow was so bewitching that everyone couldn't helping staring at her. It was like she herself was exactly the moonlight goddess.
The light was good. The ambience was good. Everything was in place. And she was like a real star.
"All sections, ready!" at the director's command, all people fell into silence.
"The first time in Act 28 for the Battle of Famous Families!"
Sue immediately showed a nervous expression as required by the plot. She knew that the camera wouldn't shoot her face at all, but she still set her expression in a professional way and devoted herself to shooting.
Her eyes were bright, clear, firm and penetrating. She clenched her teeth, waiting for the moment when the director gave the order.
"Action!"
Suddenly, the staff behind her pushed her. She leaned backward and fell down quickly under the glare of countless white lights.
"Woof! Woof!"
Everyone was shocked by the sudden barking, which ruined the beauty of the whole picture.
"Hey! Be careful!"
Sue caught sight of a dog swooping on the safety cushion at lightning speed. Surprisedly, she turned around quickly to avoid it, and almost flew out of the cushion!
Patting the soil on her body, she struggled to get up from the ground. The little dog jumped on her excitedly, without awareness of how dangerous it was just now.
"Hey, little thing. Where were you from?" Sue touched the dog's head but felt a burst of pain. Only then did she realized the scrapes on the left leg, which were exuding blood with burning pain.
The assistant was so scared that he broke into a cold sweat. Thanks to Sue's agility, otherwise the dog would either be disabled or even dead!
