Chapter 1284: Chapter 1275: Collapse (Part 5)
The sound wasn’t loud, very similar to thunder. Although it didn’t rain today, it’s been the rainy season recently, with continuous rain for several days, and the water level almost reaching the shore.
There was no rain, but the sky remained gloomy, with occasional muffled sounds.
The director shook his head; he had originally planned for beautiful costumes on the boat, but they couldn’t wear them. Instead, they had to wear an ugly life jacket on top, making them look like inflatable ducks during aerial shots.
Moreover, Xia Siyu’s incident had been causing a commotion for a long time. Although she’s the biggest star and the main attraction of the show, who knows what trouble she might cause every day.
The director was somewhat relieved after seeing the news about Xia Siyu recently.
Even though this news might be shocking for Xia Siyu or the public, revealing a scandal about Xia Siyu’s love life would be even more troubling for their dating show. So what if Xia Siyu is an illegitimate child? Being one doesn’t affect her current status; it might even boost her popularity further.
If the prima donna wants to get angry, let her. Anyway, she’s the hottest right now, and without any scandals, her current popularity could help hype their variety show. Why not?
When it first thundered, the director glanced towards the mountain, thinking it might rain heavily again, and looked up at the sky.
Though the sky was gloomy, there were subtle signs of clearing up. The other three groups of guests had already successfully reached the opposite shore. Initially, for safety reasons, the guests would have been evacuated if the rain continued.
Judging by the horizon, it seemed fine. The directing team also contacted the local meteorological department, which confirmed no rain for the next twenty-four hours.
Given the circumstances, the director certainly hoped to continue filming. This opportunity was rare, after all. Climbing to a small pavilion on the mountain would only take about an hour to shoot, so he asked everyone to proceed with filming.
The celebrities had already put on makeup and changed clothes, and filming for an hour wasn’t something they strongly opposed.
Especially Zhou Weiwei, without Xia Siyu around, she was eager to shine.
It’s not that she targeted Xia Siyu, but both being in the same company, she was getting more attention than before. However, ambitions grow. In the past, she might have thought of switching to a new agency to get some exposure. But as she gradually climbed up by taking on more resources, her thoughts expanded.
Huixing wasn’t a big company, and the resources they could promote were limited. Although Xia Siyu’s resources weren’t given by Huixing, Zhou Weiwei was ambitiously climbing up, wanting to become famous. She wouldn’t sabotage Xia Siyu or stab her in the back, but she would strive to grab any opportunity she could. For instance, without Xia Siyu, she was the best among the remaining three female stars, so she insisted, "Just another hour, everyone hang in there." Before she said this, she adjusted her hairstyle and clothes. Having just taken off the life jacket, everyone looked a bit disheveled, except for her, who looked polished and glamorous.
In fact, the directing team had already confirmed with them, but Zhou Weiwei’s mention seemed a bit theatrical. Nonetheless, no one else bothered to argue and cooperated with her.
