Chapter 517: Chapter 517

He Jinxia had not practiced for a long time, and feeling that she had practiced enough, she stopped, greeted Ola and Charles, and then left first.

After returning to the hotel, Cheng Xiaohua continued to delve into the gossip between Ola and Charles, confidently analyzing to He Jinxia that the two were not meant to be, even if they got together during filming, but they would break up after the filming ended.

He Jinxia patted Cheng Xiaohua’s shoulder, smiling and said, "Sister Xiao Hua, I think your analysis makes a lot of sense. With all your practical experience, how come you still haven’t found a boyfriend?"

Cheng Xiaohua had been teased by He Jinxia all day, and having garnered some experience in retorting by now, she slightly lifted her head and sighed slightly in a somewhat melancholic tone:

"Ah, the men in this world..."

He Jinxia listened with interest.

Cheng Xiaohua: "None of them are worthy of me."

He Jinxia’s mouth twitched, and she gave her a thumbs up, "Poisonous, truly poisonous," she was left speechless.

The next day, when He Jinxia arrived at the film set, she furrowed her brows, feeling that some actors were giving her strange looks.

Whenever she looked their way, those actors would immediately turn their heads away.

He Jinxia thought for a while and had Cheng Xiaohua go find out what was going on.

Sister Xiao Hua, small but mighty, had spent the week winning over people at the set, and quickly found out the reason. She came back with a curious look on her face that made Jinxia feel uncomfortable all over.

He Jinxia looked down at herself, "What’s wrong, do I have something on me?"

Cheng Xiaohua shook her head, sighing, "What is this thing called love, that makes one so devoted to another!"

He Jinxia deadpanned: "Speak human."

Cheng Xiaohua: "Yesterday, Charles and Ola were arguing in the dance studio, apparently, an actor asked Charles if he liked Ola, and Charles denied it straight away. Ola heard it and started arguing heatedly with Charles."

He Jinxia fell silent for a while, then sighed, "Youth is wonderful, so passionate."

Turning the conversation, she asked, "Their fight has nothing to do with me, right? Why do those people look at me so strangely?"

Cheng Xiaohua: "Because someone heard Charles mention you during his argument with Ola. No one knows who spread it, but they said Charles liked you."

He Jinxia: "...unintentional trouble, I’m really innocent."

Cheng Xiaohua shrugged, "I think so too. Today you have a scene with Ola where you both argue, just perfect for this situation."

She patted He Jinxia’s shoulder and said earnestly, "Kid, get ready to face Ola’s wrath."

He Jinxia: "..." Why does it feel like Sister Xiao Hua is somewhat gloating?

He Jinxia just thought of Ola’s eyes filled with anger and couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

Initially, she had planned to explain things to Ola, but Ola arrived at the set particularly late today, and the two had no chance to talk.

As soon as Ola arrived, she was rushed by her assistant into the makeup room for makeup, and by the time she was done, they were ready to start shooting that scene.

He Jinxia looked at Ola across from her, who kept avoiding her gaze without any interaction.

As soon as the camera started rolling, both of them immediately transformed.

This scene depicted Ola, after the last warning from Xia Tian, never followed Xia Tian again, but her situation at school had improved a lot compared to before, at least those classmates did not dare to openly bother her.

By chance, Ola spotted Xia Tian on a bustling street and subconsciously followed him. Only when she arrived at a certain place did she come back to her senses, annoyed at herself for following him.

But... since she was already there, why not go in and see?

All the scenes mentioned above are Ola’s individual scenes, which would be shot later. The scene currently being filmed was when Ola opened the door and entered the store, only to discover Xia Tian in a ballet costume, wearing a wig and dancing ballet!

The dancing scenes would also be re-shot later, featuring a confrontational scene where Xia Tian noticed Ola, pulled a disgusted face, and dragged Ola out, demanding to know why she continued to stalk him.

In the frame, Xia Tian briskly pulled Ola into the restroom, rudely shook off her hand, and angrily asked, "You are stalking me!"

Ola quickly shook her head, anxiously explaining, "No, I really didn’t! I wasn’t stalking you, I just happened to see you here!"

Xia Tian sneered, "Do you think I would believe that?"

Ola reached out to pull on her, "I really didn’t mean to!"

Xia Tian shook off her hand, glaring fiercely at her, "Don’t talk about my business to anyone. If it gets out, those classmates who bullied you before can bully you again!"

Ola’s face turned pale, her lips moving up and down, unable to utter a single word.

After a while, she guessed, "You... you’re not , you wouldn’t do that..."

Xia Tian stared at her, "You never understand me, I am not a kind person, Ola, do not cross my line. This is the last time."

She said sternly, walked out without looking back, leaving Ola standing there, bewildered and flustered.

With the director’s command, the filming of this scene ended. He carefully looked at the footage and, being dissatisfied with some parts, decided to reshoot it, this time the mistake was made by Ola.

It took Ola three takes to get through this accusatory scene, weighing down the atmosphere on set.

It was as if yesterday’s stunning one-take performance was a shooting star, never to appear again.

The momentum Ola had managed to build up yesterday was broken by these consecutive NGs.

Acting is just like that, like rowing upstream, if you don’t advance, you fall back.

A brief moment of astonishment is useless, the real skill is in maintaining that astonishment.

After this scene ended, He Jinxia stepped aside, leaving all next scenes for Ola alone.

Unlike usual, He Jinxia didn’t leave but chose to stay and watch.

Ola rested for a while, then re-entered the camera’s view, stepping onto the battlefield.

As the clapperboard was struck, Ola immediately started walking down the street with a drooping head, appearing soulless and lost.

Her steps were slow, and she was bumped into by passersby several times, even falling to the ground on the last collision.

Director Wilson nodded and exclaimed, "Good take!" Chapters fırst released on NoveI-Fire.ɴet

The others looked at Ola with surprise. Previously, Ola hadn’t been in good condition, but this scene showed impressive expression of devastated emotions.

After this scene passed, the next one involved the boy who knocked Ola over hurriedly apologizing and helping her up.

Then the boy noticed Ola crying with red eyes, became awkward, and thought he had hurt her with the collision, feeling very sorry and thus trying to cheer her up.

As it so happened, the boy who knocked her over was Charles, the male lead.

Because of this incident, Ola moved from silently standing by the window watching this boy routinely take out the trash, to having an opportunity to step into this boy’s life.
