HuaYu14: Female celebrities are going too fast.

All of this happened so fast, in less than two seconds.

Zhou Xun reacted faster than his brain could process; he grabbed her arm and pulled her back from the brink of falling.

Naza crashed into his arms, burying her face in his cold breastplate, the sound of her own heart pounding filling her ears.

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!" Guo Jianyong's angry roar came from afar. "What's going on?!"

Chaos erupted on the scene. The equestrian instructor rushed over to control the horse's head, and the prop master and assistants swarmed around.

Naza was still trembling, looking down at the hem of her skirt that was tightly wrapped around her.

If it had been half a second later, if Zhou Xun hadn't pulled her back in time, she would have fallen off the horse and been dragged along with her feet stuck.

Thinking of this, she broke out in a cold sweat again.

Are you alright?

Zhou Xun asked with concern, his voice trembling slightly as he was also startled by the sudden accident.

Naza shook his head, wanting to say "It's nothing," but his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.

Zhou Xun maintained his protective posture, his strong hand firmly resting on her lower back, until Xia came over and helped her down.

This unexpected incident has startled Naza, and today's scene cannot be filmed.

Zhou Xun dismounted and instructed Xia:

"Take her downstairs and let her rest."

"Thank you... thank you."

Naza snapped out of his daze and squeezed out those words through gritted teeth.

"I'm glad you're alright." Zhou Xun smiled and patted her shoulder. "Go back and rest."

"Okay." Naza nodded obediently and followed Xia downstairs.

Zhou Xun didn't rush to leave, but followed Guo Jianyong to the monitor to watch the replay of the NG footage.

After watching, everyone fell silent. In the scene, the brass ornaments on the saddle's rear bridge were firmly caught on the hem of the skirt, tearing at Naza's body until it was almost parallel to the ground.

If Zhou Xun hadn't pulled her up with one hand, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Props maker, what's wrong with you?!"

The prop master was a middle-aged man, who was looking down at the moment.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, director. That bronze ornament was to recreate an authentic ancient warhorse."

We've been busy lately, and we haven't had time to smooth the edges of that brass ornament. I thought it would be fine...

"Busy? You think you're the only one busy? Aren't we all busy?" Guo Jianyong rarely swore. "You think there won't be any problems? You think it's any use?"

"If Naza really falls off his horse, can your mother bear the responsibility?"

"I'm letting you off the hook because you're a long-time member of the crew. This is your first offense, so I'll just deduct half a month's salary to teach you a lesson."

If this happens again, you're fired! Pack your things and get out of here!

"What the hell are you still standing there for? Hurry up and deal with that thing!"

"Yes, yes. Thank you, director." The prop master nodded repeatedly and left.

Originally, a stunt double was supposed to be used for this scene, but Guo Jianyong wanted the most realistic effect, and since Zhou Xun's horsemanship was indeed quite good, he had Nazha perform the scene himself.

Everything was fine during rehearsals, but I never expected something like this to happen during the first actual shoot.

"Zhou Xun, we really owe you a lot this time." Guo Jianyong patted Zhou Xun on the shoulder, expressing his heartfelt gratitude. "I'll give you an extra 50,000 yuan in your fee."

"Thankfully, no one's hurt. It's nothing serious, I'll be going now."

"Go on, you should go and get some rest too."

……

Get some rest. If you feel like crying, go ahead and cry. You can also watch your favorite TV series to distract yourself and not think about today's events.

The props department is already making changes. If you're still worried, I'll talk to the director tomorrow and ask for a stunt double.

In the room, Naza looked at the message Zhou Xun sent, and the tears she had been holding back still fell uncontrollably.

In this film studio where everyone is rushing to meet deadlines and working late into the night, there are truly people who genuinely care about her and keep her safety in mind.

"Xia, why...why is Zhou Xun so good to me?"

Naza cried as she uttered those words, and the estrangement she felt towards Zhou Xun completely vanished.

Xia gently stroked the prickly back: "Sis, if you really like her, just go for it."

"But Zhou Xun, what if he doesn't like me?"

"My dear sister, you're so beautiful, what man wouldn't like you?"

"But if he likes me, why doesn't he pursue me?"

Xia thought for a while and gave an ambiguous answer:

"Maybe he feels he's not good enough for you!"

"But I don't mind! I don't care about status or anything."

Naza said with some grievance.

Xia didn't know how to respond. She had only watched movies and had never been in a relationship, so she didn't know how to answer. She could only gently stroke her back.

Wise people don't fall in love, but Nazar is a fool.

If she thought about Zhou Xun's words that day more carefully, she would never believe that Zhou Xun would not dare to pursue her because of their unequal status.

Zhou Xun: I'm quite good at handling women.

After Naza fell asleep, Xia gently covered her with the blanket and went out.

As for the follow-up to this matter, Naza's agent will deal with the production crew. What she needs to do now is to go to the props department to check the props again.

Xia confirmed that Nazha will still be performing in tomorrow's scene, because her co-star will be Zhou Xun.

Xia greeted the director before arriving at the equipment room. Pushing open the door, she saw two men sitting inside chatting.

She knew both of them; one was the prop master on set, and the other was Zhou Xun.

Upon hearing the door open, the prop master hurriedly got up, took out a small stool, and handed it to Xia:

"You must be that teacher's assistant. I'm so sorry about today, please apologize to that teacher for me."

Xia ignored the prop master and kept staring at Zhou Xun, who was constantly rubbing something in his hands.

What is he doing here?

"Teacher Zhou is working on the props," the prop master explained. "He's here to fix the accessory that's causing the problem."

"I said I could do it, but he wouldn't let me and insisted on doing it himself, look..."

Zhou Xun blew on the red copper ash in his hand, looked up at Xia, and asked, "Is Naza alright?"

"Naza went back and cried for a while, then fell asleep."

"Okay." Zhou Xun nodded, tossing the polished bronze ornament to the prop maker, then looked at Xia, "I'm done polishing, I'm going back now, what about you?"

"Now that the problem is solved, I'll go back with you."

The next day, when Naza woke up, Xia told him about her encounter with Zhou Xun in the equipment room the day before.

"Sister Naza, I think Zhou Xun likes you too, otherwise who would go out late at night to bother with that thing?"

Naza was moved again after hearing this. "Then... what should I do now...?"

"Since you two like each other, why don't you take the initiative?"

"Should I confess my feelings first?" Naza felt a little uneasy. "What if... on set?"

"Oh, my dear sister, after filming today, come back and get dressed up, then go see Zhou Xun privately." Xia pushed Nazha, "Okay, sister, trust me, get up now, get ready, and go filming."

On set, Zhou Xun, dressed in armor, waited, leaning on the handle of a halberd.

A short while later, Naza came out of the dressing room wearing the silk dress that had been repaired overnight.

Zhou Xun stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Naza smiled and shook her head: "It's all in the past. I still want to thank you for yesterday, otherwise I might be lying in the hospital today."

"Who curses themselves like that?" Zhou Xun said, supporting the hand that was gripping the ground. "Let's try to get it in one take today."

"Mmm." Naza nodded shyly, wanting to finish quickly as she had other things to do.

"Action!"

Today's filming went exceptionally smoothly.

Guo Jianyong smiled and stood up from in front of the monitor: "Okay, passed."

After filming wrapped, Zhou Xun and Nazha quickly left the set to make room for others to film.

After their part is finished, they won't have any more scenes for the next two or three days, so they can rest.

Inside the room, Naza was wearing white 80cm over-the-knee stockings and a mini-skirt, with a uniform on top.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Naza asked Xia, "Is this really okay?"

"Absolutely, I guarantee Zhou Xun won't refuse," Xia said confidently. "Unless he's impotent!"

"Huh? What's wrong with Zhou Xun?"

"It's nothing, sis, go ahead."

At Xia's urging, Nazha went to Zhou Xun's door and knocked.

Her little face was rosy red, like a ripe apple, along with her outfit.

It's hard not to feel the sunset over the river pass!
