Chapter 1070: Chapter 1070: Accident
"Yes, sorry..."
Mia Carter’s face turned pale, clearly not having recovered from the incident just now.
Of course, the director was unaware of the little episode that had just occurred outside.
Seeing Mia Carter’s condition, he dared not let her continue filming.
He gestured to the staff nearby and said, "Tiana, go and gather yourself for a bit. Prop department, set up the props; we’re shooting the next scene."
The staff immediately sprang into action, and Mia Carter’s assistant quickly approached, draping a coat over Mia Carter.
Looking at Mia Carter’s unnatural complexion, the assistant couldn’t help but ask softly, "Sister Tiana, what’s wrong with you?"
Mia Carter shook her head, not saying a word.
Seeing that she couldn’t get an answer, the assistant shut her mouth and stood by Mia Carter’s side.
"Actors, get ready in your positions, we’re going to start filming soon."
The director rolled up his script into a cylinder, his hands frantically directing.
Annie Anne, who was already prepared at the side, heard this and walked toward the prop ladder.
Her costume was relatively convenient and tidy for the rather action-heavy scene.
Mia Carter, who was acting opposite Annie Anne, wouldn’t personally perform some of the more professional and challenging stunts, especially since she always projected an image of fragility and nobility; such physical scenes were certainly not her forte.
Hence, for this shot, Annie Anne would have to work with Mia Carter’s stunt double.
Annie Anne glanced at the ladder beside her, just about to climb up, when she heard Oliver Hudson’s voice.
"There’s no need to shoot many frontal shots, let the stunt double take over."
Oliver Hudson had seen Annie Anne’s final script beforehand and knew she had to perform some difficult stunts.
The director, upon hearing Oliver Hudson speak, didn’t hesitate to signal the staff to find a stunt double for Annie Anne.
"Director, there’s no need to trouble them, I can do it myself."
Annie Anne’s gaze indifferently swept over Oliver Hudson’s face, then she turned her head leisurely to speak.
"It’s not like it’s some extremely difficult stunt, what can’t be done?"
Oliver Hudson’s eyebrows remained tightly furrowed, not relaxing in the slightest.
The director, now even more nervous, didn’t dare even to breathe out loud. Annie Anne was indeed bold to talk to Oliver Hudson that way.
The director waited a moment, unsure whether Oliver Hudson intended to speak again.
What nobody expected was that Mia Carter, who had been in terrible shape just moments ago, suddenly stood up and screamed out loud towards Annie Anne.
"Annie Anne! You can’t go up the ladder!"
Mia Carter had been in a daze until she heard the director say they were going to shoot the next scene, and that’s when she belatedly realized what was happening.
She had sabotaged Annie Anne’s ladder!
However, by the time Mia Carter spoke out, it was already too late; Annie Anne had already climbed to the top of the ladder.
There was a snapping sound as the supporting beam broke, Annie Anne’s foot missed its hold, and she fell straight down from the top.
And it was no laughing matter from that height.
Instantly, chaos erupted on the set.
Naturally, Oliver Hudson was the first to react, rushing towards Annie Anne.
But he was still a considerable distance away from her, and despite running as fast as he could, he didn’t catch Annie Anne.
Annie Anne fell straight down from the height, half her body crashing onto the set pieces below.
Instantly, Annie Anne’s complexion turned deathly pale, and a large pool of blood began to spread beneath her.
"Mommy—"
