Chapter 728

Seeing that everything was ready, Director Zheng began to shout:

"Wire team, get ready. Follow the preset route and move Gu Cheng from point A to point B. Start when I say start."

Jin Li saw point B; point B was stuck on the bamboo building framed by bamboo poles.

Point B was the highest point of the bamboo building.

Jin Li saw the deputy director darting around the venue. He happened to dart to her side, and she immediately grabbed him and asked:

"Has Gu Cheng been hitting point B from point A all this time?"

The deputy director was stunned by her grab.

Few people in the crew dared to stop him like this.

Seeing it was Jin Li, he was stunned again, "Aren't you going to Group B to film? Why did you come here?"

Jin Li's expression was serious, and she asked quickly, "Has Gu Cheng been hitting point B from point A all this time?"

The deputy director subconsciously nodded, "Yes, he has already hit it three times and is about to hit it a fourth time. Director Zheng wants to film more angles."

Jin Li: "You can't film anymore."

Deputy Director: "Huh?"

Her expression was extremely solemn: "Didn't you all hear it? This bamboo building is about to fall apart. If Gu Cheng hits it, the bamboo will fall onto him."

She didn't know how to explain her premonition to others.

Logically speaking, point B is stuck at such a high position on the bamboo building; even if it falls apart, Gu Cheng is at the highest point, so the impact would be very limited.

But her intuition told her that Gu Cheng's impact point later wouldn't be at point B, but in the middle of the bamboo building.

This collision would completely cause the bamboo building to collapse, and the bamboo poles from high above would smash onto him; he would have a bloody disaster.

Deputy Director: "Ah? Ah? Ah!"

The deputy director was made to stutter, "This, this, this, what should we do?"

Jin Li: "Call a stop immediately, check the stability of the bamboo building, and continue only when you're sure it's fine."

Deputy Director: "No, I, I can't..."

The deputy director wanted to say that although he is a deputy director, he has no privileges in terms of filming.

He might be able to manage finances, but in terms of filming, he didn't dare to say a word to Director Zheng.

The deputy director was still thinking about communicating with Director Zheng when he saw Jin Li had already crossed the set and arrived at the wire technician's side.

Director Zheng was shouting loudly: "Wire team, get ready, 3, 2—who is it! Who ran in suddenly? Leave quickly!"

Director Zheng shouted until his face was red; because he was too excited, he seemed to be in a rage.

The whole scene watched blankly as Jin Li broke into the prop team and asked the wire technician to let Gu Cheng down first.

The wire technician recognized Jin Li and said blankly, "Ah? This, this isn't good."

Jin Li said with a firm tone, "Let him down. The bamboo building prop you built has problems; it will collapse after the next violent impact."

Director Zheng shouted several times for people to leave the field, but Jin Li didn't leave.

Through the camera lens, he also recognized that the person who broke in was Jin Li, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Director Zheng put down the megaphone: "What is going on? Isn't Jin Li filming at Group B tonight?"

The deputy director hurried over and explained a few words.

Director Zheng's brows were tightly furrowed, and his tone was somewhat unkind: "The props shouldn't have problems; she is worrying unnecessarily!"

At this time, Gu Cheng, who had been hanging in the air, couldn't wait for Director Zheng's instructions and couldn't feel his body moving. He looked down and found it was Jin Li.

He realized something had happened and immediately made a gesture.

That was the gesture actors would make when they felt uncomfortable while suspended in the air.

Seeing this, the wire technician let him down.

Once an actor feels uncomfortable, they must immediately let him down from the air; even without the director's permission, they can do so.

Gu Cheng landed slowly, Jin Li reached out, and Gu Cheng grabbed her arm.

Facing her worried gaze, Gu Cheng's voice softened: "What happened? Aren't you filming in another group?"

Before Jin Li could answer, Chen Qin saw more and more people surrounding them, even Director Zheng walked over, and immediately said loudly:

"The prop design has problems; it hasn't undergone strength testing. This bamboo building is about to collapse soon, and you're still letting the actor hit it. What if the actor gets hurt? What should we do then?"

"Not only this prop, other props haven't undergone usage testing either. Jin Li requests that all the props she needs to use be tested before we act."

Director Zheng stared at Jin Li with a serious expression: "If there's a problem with the props, you should communicate with me privately, instead of breaking into the scene being filmed and obstructing the filming."

Jin Li also knew she was reckless.

But human life is at stake, and in an emergency, she didn't have that much time to consider other people's face.

The deputy director smoothed things over and said: "Hey, isn't Jin Li also worried that Gu Cheng will get hurt? This, this is care between actors."

Halfway through his words, he felt something was wrong and immediately changed his tune.

A female actor worrying about a male actor getting hurt actually feels weird.

Especially since these two have so many CP fans, and it's frequently rumored that they are already together. The crew also took a fancy to the huge CP popularity behind these two stars, which is why they invited them over to act.

Although this deputy director is an investor, he didn't interfere too much with the crew's casting.

So he didn't know that ever since Director Zheng confirmed Gu Cheng as the male lead, he had handed the role of "Xiao Yue" to Gu Cheng to choose.

He would cooperate with whichever actor he wanted to cooperate with.

It was Gu Cheng who personally decided on Jin Li; it had to be her.

Both sides were quite close to the bamboo building.

After the deputy director finished speaking for Jin Li, he went to speak for the director, walked to the bamboo building himself, and patted a piece of bamboo.

"Haha, although the crew's props haven't undergone strength testing, the prop masters we hired are all very professional, and every scene is built very seriously; nothing will happen."

"Jin Li, you worried for nothing; this bamboo building is very sturdy!"

To ensure the truth of his words, the deputy director also patted the bamboo hard a few times.

As he patted, he felt something was wrong.

This bamboo is shaking quite violently!

And the sound it made was quite loud, creak, creak.

The deputy director couldn't help but move a few steps to the side; oh my, it's a bit scary to be too close.

Jin Li looked at him and couldn't help but say: "You'd better come over quickly; I always feel you will have a bloody disaster, don't get too close to the bamboo building."

The deputy director was just about to walk over when he caught a glimpse of Director Zheng's face, which seemed dark enough to drip water.

He walked back to the vicinity of the bamboo building again to support Director Zheng.

"Jin Li, don't be too superstitious. This bamboo building looks shaky, but it's actually of very good quality. It has already withstood three impacts; there's no reason it can't withstand the fourth impact."

As he spoke, he leaned his body against the bamboo building.

He didn't dare to pat it hard, but leaning against it shouldn't be a problem, right? Maybe it could even stop the shaking.

But the next second, he heard a crisp cracking sound.

Before the next second arrived, the rope tying the bamboo at the very top suddenly snapped, and other connected bamboo poles also broke.

Before long, the falling bamboo triggered a chain reaction; first a piece collapsed, and then the entire bamboo building collapsed.

When the bamboo fell, the deputy director had already run away.

But because he was the closest, he was still hit by the bamboo when it bounced up.

"Ah!!!" The deputy director let out a miserable scream.

Others couldn't care about him; the moment the bamboo fell, Gu Cheng grabbed Jin Li tightly, protected her behind him, and moved to another place.

Chen Qin was the same.

"Run quickly, the bamboo building collapsed!"

A few minutes later, the dust settled.

The bamboo building completely collapsed; Gu Cheng was fine, and the most seriously injured person on the scene was the deputy director, who was suspected to have a fracture from being hit.

The deputy director who didn't take the bloody disaster seriously at all: ...

He wished he could slap himself in front of Jin Li.

It was I who misunderstood you, Master Jin Li!

Director Zheng also canceled the night's filming because of this incident and specifically apologized to Jin Li.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault for not doing strength testing on the props. If you hadn't called a stop in time, Gu Cheng would very likely have been injured in that collision."

Jin Li said magnanimously: "It's okay, at least the actor wasn't injured this time."

Director Zheng asked hesitantly: "How did you know the bamboo building had problems?"

Jin Li pointed to her ears: "My hearing is quite sensitive; I can hear subtle sounds that many people can't."

"When Gu Cheng was filming, I heard that the bamboo building had problems; the bamboo was very brittle and seemed like it would break at any moment, and the ropes connecting them were also making hissing sounds of being unable to bear the weight."

"My intuition is also very accurate, and out of the unease in my heart, I urgently called a stop to the filming."

Jin Li paused, giving Director Zheng some face, and said sincerely:

"I'm sorry, Director Zheng, the situation was critical, which is why I resorted to this. Next time if there's an opportunity, I will communicate with you first."

She had no intention of challenging the director's authority in the crew.

But concerning Gu Cheng's safety, she had to interrupt first.

Director Zheng let out a long sigh and said, still shaken:

"I am actually very glad you came in to interrupt. If Gu Cheng had an accident during this filming, I don't know how long the progress would be delayed; this would be very damaging to the crew."

"We won't film tonight; you all get a good rest. We will check the prop problems overnight to ensure there will be no problems during filming tomorrow."

Director Zheng left the hotel; he still had to go to the set to oversee things.

Fortunately, it was the deputy director who was injured this time; if it were a crew member, it would be troublesome to be one person short.

In the hotel room.

Gu Cheng looked at Jin Li and asked with some worry: "What did you see? Will it be bad for your body? Did you change the future?"

Being with Jin Li, he never knew her hearing was that sensitive.

Both her vision and hearing were within the range of normal people, and her overall physical fitness was even more fragile than ordinary people.

But Jin Li's sixth sense and intuition were indeed very accurate.

People in the industry could feel it; it could be seen from Jin Li's eye for choosing scripts.

Almost every script she took a fancy to would become a huge hit; even if it didn't explode at the beginning, its reputation would rise to become a hit in the middle and later stages. "Assassination" was like that.

And having been with Jin Li for a long time, he discovered that her sixth sense wasn't just in choosing scripts.

In some aspects, it was like a prophecy.

And Jin Li could read physiognomy, and she read it very accurately, only she usually didn't say it out loud.

She was able to see that the deputy director would have a bloody disaster and warned him not to get close to the bamboo building; it was the deputy director himself who wanted to court death by getting close, which is why he was injured so seriously.

Jin Li shook her head, "I didn't see anything; this time it was just a whim, feeling you would be in danger, so I ran over."

Gu Cheng: "I don't believe it."

He stared closely at Jin Li's face, "Your expression seems a bit pale; are you feeling unwell?"

Before Jin Li could answer, he reached out and touched Jin Li's forehead, saying with a solemn expression: "It seems like a low fever; do you have a fever?"

"Sure enough, because you changed the established fact, your body suffered a backlash. Will this have a big impact on you? Will, will you vomit blood?"

Seeing Gu Cheng so nervous that he seemed about to cry, Jin Li couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face.

"Don't worry, I said I'm fine, so I'm fine. I'll just be weak for a while, but I'll be fine after resting."

She pinched his face into a goldfish mouth, "Smile, okay?"

Gu Cheng smiled reluctantly, a very ugly smile.

"I'll take you to the hospital; I'm not at ease leaving you alone in the room."

Jin Li: "The hospital is useless for me."

Gu Cheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Go to the Daoist temple!"

"How about going to the Daoist temple? I remember there is a small Daoist temple nearby, for villagers to offer incense; it's not far from here," Gu Cheng said quickly.

Jin Li was a bit hesitant, "Can we go? Will we be able to make it back?"

Gu Cheng said firmly, "We will."

He went back to his room to pack his things; the assistant didn't understand and asked him where he was going.

Gu Cheng thought for a while and said: "You know about what happened in the crew today, right?"

Assistant: "Are you talking about the bamboo building collapse tonight? Thanks to Jin Li suddenly breaking into the filming group and saving you."

"Otherwise, with the degree of collapse from the deputy director touching it a few times, you would definitely have been injured if you had hit it."

Gu Cheng: "It was Jin Li who saved me. Her sixth sense has always been very accurate. You also know that people with too strong intuition have weak bodies and are easily entangled by dirty things."

"Especially since she helped me avoid a bloody disaster today, I'm worried she'll have an accident, so I want to take her to the Daoist temple to rest for a night."

If Gu Cheng told the assistant directly about Jin Li's physical abnormality, the assistant wouldn't understand.

But he changed to another way of saying it, and the assistant understood in a second.

"Then we need to go to the Daoist temple to avoid it. By the way, are consecrated jade bracelets and jade pendants useful? I brought them; my grandma took me to get them consecrated when I was a child, and I haven't left them for many years."

"Also, do you want yellow talismans? I often run around with you, afraid of going to unclean places, and my own righteousness isn't enough to suppress them, so I have them all, like Heavenly Official Blessing pictures, Evil-Exorcising Talismans, House-Suppressing Talismans..."

Gu Cheng's packing action paused, "You are quite well-prepared."

The assistant said embarrassedly: "I have a weak constitution, so my parents and elders found things to help me suppress it."

Gu Cheng: "We're going to the Daoist temple anyway, so these things aren't needed, but when you have time, make a list for me. Next time I'll prepare a copy just in case."

Compared to Gu Cheng having to explain to his assistant.

Jin Li's packing here went very smoothly.

Just staying for one night, no need to pack too much, just take a change of clothes for the day.

Seeing Jin Li's pale face, Chen Qin couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you not go to the Daoist temple? I'll go, and then I'll live stream it to you, and you can worship facing the video?"

Jin Li shook her head: "No, the effect of doing that is too weak; I have to go to the Daoist temple in person."

Chen Qin: "You—"

She sighed, "Forget it, I won't talk to you."

She knew Jin Li's sixth sense was very accurate, but she didn't know much more, at most she could feel that Jin Li liked Daoist temples very much.

Daoist temples are especially nourishing for Jin Li.

Every time Jin Li's schedule is particularly busy, she will go to a Daoist temple to recuperate, and she will soon be able to regain her energy.

Perhaps, this is the so-called "Daoist constitution."

Going to Daoist territory is just more comfortable than other places.

If it weren't for saving Gu Cheng this time, Jin Li wouldn't be so uncomfortable.

But let her not save him?

If it were herself, she would probably save him too.

After all, who knows if this accident would have cost Gu Cheng his life?
