Chapter 944 - 942: Ji Dabao Is Furious
"Fangfang, take Sihan to change clothes." Da Bao’s voice was even colder than the chilling wind around.Tian Fang didn’t bother to explain anything, quickly coming over to help the shivering Sihan towards the dressing room. She didn’t look back, but from Da Bao’s hurried glance, she read the oppression and ferocity before a storm.
The director over there took a moment to react, jogged over, looked up, and nervously explained to the tall, handsome young man, trying to stop Sihan from changing, "Hey, Young Master Yu, Sihan still has a scene coming up..." After all, this makeup wasn’t easy to apply.
Da Bao shot him a cold glance, "Stop filming today, and I’ll pay ten times for the downtime!"
Director Chen, usually quite authoritative in front of the crew, instinctively shrank back when confronted by Da Bao’s icy gaze.
Da Bao stood tall like a pine tree, his gaze like a sharp sword sweeping over the people and things in front of the camera.
"Director Chen, what’s going on? My sister is soaking wet and almost turned into an ice sculpture!"
Da Bao’s tone was extremely calm, yet it somehow projected an overwhelming aura of presence and authority to the director.
The quickly gathered assistant director hastily explained, "Sigh, it’s all because the newcomer had no acting skills, hitting seven or eight consecutive NGs. Young Master Yu, you see, we didn’t want to either..." Saying this, he shot frantic looks at the supporting actress standing dazed behind him, probably signaling her to come over and properly apologize to Young Master Yu.
But what Da Bao wanted was not a verbal apology—"I’m sorry" wasn’t a weapon to evade responsibility.
Regardless of whether this woman acted intentionally or unintentionally, the suffering Nuonuo endured would be doubled for her to experience thoroughly!
Da Bao’s sharp gaze swept over the assistant director, then fell on the supporting actress. Before anyone could react, he strode over, raised a foot, and delivered a kick to the actress’s backside, causing her to unpreparedly plunge headfirst into the pond with a "plop".
"Ah! Help, I can’t swim..." The actress flailed her arms frantically in the water, desperately crying for help.
The director and assistant director exchanged looks, unsure whether they were too scared or simply indecisive about what to do next.
Da Bao certainly didn’t intend for them to stand by idly, raised an eyebrow at the two directors, and said, "She’s heavy, you two go down together to save her."
The two directors exchanged a glance, and neither dared to voice opposition, gritting their teeth and preparing to jump.
The nearby staff didn’t know Da Bao’s background and had only a vague notion that he was someone not to be provoked. Nevertheless, they tugged at the director and assistant director, saying, "Director Chen, Director Li, let us handle this!"
Da Bao, with cold eyes, crossed his arms and said, "Then all of you go down together to save her!"
The director and assistant director glared at those few staff members, signaling them not to meddle. At the moment, pleasing this young master and appeasing his anger was the priority!
With no further hesitation, the director and assistant director "plopped" into the water, frantically hauling the supporting actress up from the water, which was chest-deep.
Da Bao continued to stand there, looking directly at the staff who were startled into stillness, he said, "Haven’t you brought three blankets yet? Also, get three chairs!"
The directors dragged the actress out of the water, looked at each other, knowing this young master’s anger wasn’t yet appeased, they felt uneasy and secretly complained.
The shivering, wet, and embarrassed supporting actress was helped over, casting a resentful and venomous glare at Da Bao, "Who do you think you are? Let me tell you, I’m..."
Hearing this, the director became even more flustered, using his other hand to quickly cover the actress’s mouth.
Da Bao glanced at her, "I’m a human being, unlike you, merely a thing! As an actress, you should fulfill your role. If you’re not familiar with the lines, memorize them. If your expression is inadequate, practice. Why should my sister suffer cold and hardship for your laziness and negligence?"
After scolding her, he shifted his gaze to the director, "Director Chen, how much time did this thing delay?"
Director Chen didn’t dare tell a lie, looked at the staff not far away, and reported the numbers they provided, "Ten to twenty minutes or so!"
Da Bao nodded, tilted his chin, and pointed at the three chairs, "Then sit for thirty minutes."
The surrounding crew were too afraid to make a sound, Director Chen quickly said, "We’ll sit, we’ll sit! It’s my fault and Xiao Li’s for not teaching the newcomer, it’s our mistake!"
Da Bao nodded in satisfaction and without further comment, turned and walked towards where Sihan was changing.
"Director Chen..."
The supporting actress trembled as she tried to complain, and Director Chen glared at her viciously, "Shut up, if it weren’t for you, would Young Master Yu have gotten this angry?"
The actress pouted in grievance and dissatisfaction, "I’m going to tell Boss Mo..."
Director Chen didn’t like this actress to begin with but was always mindful of Boss Mo, the investor, so he couldn’t say anything to her.
But seeing the trouble she caused now affecting himself, he could only hold his breath and kindly reprimand her, "You better kill those unwarranted thoughts right away. If you really anger Young Master Yu, don’t say this movie won’t be filmed, your Boss Mo won’t have a good outcome either."
Director Chen never had direct dealings with Eldest Young Master Ji but had heard many rumors about this young noble in his social circle.
The two young masters from the Ji Family seemed poised to surpass their father Ji Rui in recent years, their conduct and capabilities only exceeding their father’s in every aspect.
Especially this eldest young master, though appearing typically easy-going, when handling matters, he’s ruthless and decisive, with extremely keen investment eyes and precise execution methods.
Plus, Director Chen had heard if anyone carelessly touched Eldest Young Master Ji’s bottom line, that person would undoubtedly meet a miserable end!
"Xiao Li, we better just fend for ourselves..." Director Chen sat on the chair, his body trembling with cold, but it couldn’t match the piercing chill in his heart.
He finally remembered, Director Sun once told him that Ji Sihan, the sister of Eldest Young Master Ji, was the most untouchable bottom line of Eldest Young Master Ji.
He silently cursed himself, how could he not have used his brain to memorize such an important matter!
"Director Chen, Young Master Yu wouldn’t really..." The assistant director made a ’cut off’ gesture.
Director Chen worriedly turned his head to look at the motionless dressing room, sighed silently, "It’s okay if Sihan is fine, but if she gets sick, I’m afraid neither of us can bear this burden."
The dressing room finally had some movement, and Tian Fang hurriedly came out from inside.
Seeing Director Chen and the others drenched and shivering, sitting on the chairs, she was initially surprised, then showed a knowing look, just nodded at Director Chen and gestured outside, "Director Chen, I’m going to buy some cold medicine and hot ginger tea for Sihan, do you need anything?"
Director Chen was embarrassed to say yes, just waved his hand, "No need, no need, Ah Fang, take good care of Sihan."
Tian Fang nodded and left, silently cursing that supporting actress for causing such a mess. If Young Master Ji truly held blame, she, as the personal manager, wouldn’t escape accountability either.
