Hello Mr. King

Chapter 528: The Horrors of Filming

At noon, Yun Xiangxiang was having lunch when Zhao Guibi gave her a call. “Are you leaving tomorrow or today?”

“I’ll be leaving tomorrow if everything goes smoothly, but at the latest, the day after tomorrow.” The filming for today’s scenes went very smoothly. If they were to finish the work and shoot another night scene in the afternoon, it would be over.

“Then I might not be able to send you off.” Zhao Guibi felt a little regretful. “But since we’re friends, we can meet again anytime.”

“You’re right, we’re friends. If there’s nothing else, we can call and chat online.” Yun Xiangxiang smiled and nodded.

After a pause, Yun Xiangxiang asked, “Have you found the person you’re looking for?”

“I’ve found him. I’m on my way to meet him.” Zhao Guibi’s voice suddenly turned cold.

“You’re going to meet him?” Yun Xiangxiang asked worriedly. “You have to pay attention to your safety.”

“Don’t worry, he can’t do anything now.” Zhao Guibi’s gaze was cold. “You don’t have to worry about my matters, just focus on your filming. I look forward to our next meeting.”

“Okay, I also look forward to seeing you again.” Yun Xiangxiang hung up.

When it was almost evening, there was a scene where the three of them were driving their cars and chasing each other on the road that could be called the highway of death.

Lu Rong chased Lu Zheng here and did not let him go. Tiantian was here to help Lu Zheng escape from Lu Rong’s pursuit.

The scene here was very important because Tiantian was Lu Rong’s informant. She wanted to help Lu Zheng escape, but she could not give Lu Zheng a chance to kill Lu Rong.

They only shot a few close-up shots, like the aerial panoramic chase scene. They were not the ones on the scene, but the racers with superb skills.

This scene was a tug-of-war scene. It was neither too far nor too close. The actors were in the scene, but the car was only a short distance away.

Xie Manliang chose the most stable route, which was only one turn away, to reduce the risk. There were two cars following him from the front and back.

The three cars had to change positions at the front and back. Otherwise, they could change to a prop that was pulled by a big car to shoot. This was the safest way.

Xie Manliang called Xue Yu, a special-effects actor, and Yun Xiangxiang over and carefully explained how to shoot.

Lu Rong and Lu Zheng were both played by Xue Yu, so they could only use one special-effects actor to handle the post-shoot.

After explaining everything, Yun Xiangxiang and the other two got into the cars. In fact, the shooting was very slow. Every time the cars switched positions, they would do it slowly and speed up the post-shoot.

However, they could not be too slow, or else they would be exposed if they sped up.

In the beginning, there was no problem at all when they switched positions. When Yun Xiangxiang’s car was at the front and should have stopped, she realized that her brakes had failed!

She panicked for a moment, but there was a straight line in front of her. She immediately forced herself to calm down.

At the beginning of last year’s driving school, she had spent some time practicing with Song Mian, and the two of them would occasionally talk about cars.

One time, they talked about how to deal with brake failure. Yun Xiangxiang quickly turned on her dual flash to let Xie Manliang know that her car brake had failed.

She forced herself not to use the handbrake to stop the car.

Song Mian’s words echoed in her ears. “When the brake fails, whether or not to use the handbrake depends on the speed of the car. If the car is too fast, the handbrake will easily flip the car over.”

Yun Xiangxiang looked at the speed meter of the car and gave up on this method. The road was too narrow, and there was a steep cliff next to it.

If the car was flipped over, she would definitely fall to her death.

“Find a solution, the brakes failed!” He Wei paid the most attention to Yun Xiangxiang.

Yun Xiangxiang did not stop the car as promised, which made him suspicious. With a flash of light, He Wei understood.

“Malfunction? How could it malfunction? We have been using the same car since yesterday, it has also been used this morning!”

“I did a check-up this morning and found nothing wrong with the car.”

“Give us two cars.” At this time, the police officer who assisted them in filming quickly walked over.

“Give me the loudspeaker.” He Wei immediately snatched the loudspeaker from Xie Manliang’s hand. He stood at a high place and shouted at Yun Xiangxiang, “Calm down, don’t be afraid. Listen to me. Switch to manual mode.”

In fact, Yun Xiangxiang had already switched to manual mode before she could hear He Wei’s shout.

Song Mian had taught her that if the brakes failed, she could only choose to stop in gear. This was a car that was hand-in-hand. Even before He Wei provided instructions, she had already switched to “2” gear and then to “L” gear.

The car’s speed had indeed slowed down, but there was no sign of it stopping.

In that case, she could drive toward the barrier to stop the car. This method was very dangerous, but Yun Xiangxiang was not afraid of it.

At most, she would only be slightly injured after two collisions, but the barrier on this road was at the edge of a cliff.

If she used too much force and broke the barrier, wouldn’t she fall over?

On the other side was a mountain range. If she drove past it, she would most likely overturn the car.

Just as Yun Xiangxiang finished weighing the pros and cons and was about to drive toward the mountain range, someone called out to her through the loudspeaker, “Yun Xiangxiang, Yun Xiangxiang.”

“Turn ahead and try to stay to the right.” A voice came from the loudspeaker behind her.

Yun Xiangxiang held the steering wheel. She went around the turn and turned to the right. Soon, a car quickly drove past her.

The detour was a straight road, which was narrower than the road in front. The car that passed her quickly moved in front of her, and another car came from behind.

The two cars sandwiched her car in the middle. Yun Xiangxiang recalled that day on the road in the Big Apple City, their car was also forced to stop like that.

However, the last time, someone wanted to harm her, but this time, it was someone who risked their life to save her.

The three cars on the road made ear-piercing screeches as sparks flew about.

The three cars didn’t stop immediately and even slid forward for some distance. The mountain range that extended ahead was right in front of them.

The cars in front would either turn or crash into it. If they crashed into it, the people in front would definitely be seriously injured.

“Turn quickly, turn quickly!” Yun Xiangxiang could not help but shout.

“Bang!”

Yun Xiangxiang’s body leaned forward due to the inertia. Her chest hit the steering wheel and her car came to a stop.

She couldn’t care less about the pain. She raised her head and looked ahead to see that the car in front had crashed into the hillside. She quickly opened the car door and rushed forward.

The door of the car in front was also opened, and out came Song Qian.

Looking at Song Qian whose forehead was bleeding from the collision, tears welled up in Yun Xiangxiang’s eyes as she pounced on her and hugged her tightly. “Qianqian, why are you so stupid? If anything happens to you, I’ll have a guilty conscience for the rest of my life.”

“It’s my fault for putting you in danger, and it’s my duty to save you.” Song Qian supported Yun Xiangxiang. “It’s okay, I know what to do. I’m not fine, but even though my forehead has a small injury, I hope you can let me treat it quickly. If it leaves a scar, I’ll be depending on you for the rest of my life.”
