Chapter 236 An Unexpected Accident
There was a rumor in the entertainment circle that Director Tian was an extremely strict director. He never let go of any small details or mistakes that an actor that was casted into his advertisement shootings. He would directly scold them if he sees any mistakes and even make the artists on the set rethink life and wonder if they could change their career.
In fact, this rumor wasn't necessarily untrue since Ran Xueyi once experienced it in the past. It was during the first time they filmed an ad and at that time, she made a few mistakes which some directors might not even notice at first glance. However, as if Director Tian was wearing a magnifying glass, he quickly identified and pointed out her mistakes.
Ran Xueyi was not ashamed or discouraged when she heard him scolding her. Actually, it even made her think that because of that first ad, she became even more talented in expressing herself with only a few words.
The camera lenses were soon pointed at her, Ran Xueyi quickly wore a seductive gaze and expression. Too much seductive look would make people feel disgusted and think it was too forced. Too little would make people forget the theme being 'Siren't Temptation'.
The script didn't have any dialogue in it so Ran Xueyi didn't have any lines. It was easy. But the difficulty didn't lie on the dialogue, it was because this advertisement filming will fully rely on her acting skills and facial expressions.
Ran Xueyi stood in front of the camera with a thin black chemise. Her hair was slightly wet after the stylist sprayed some water on it to give the effect of a siren who had just come out of the water and walked on the ground.
Ran Xueyi slowly walked into the stage with the cameras following closely around her. Every step had an aura of an arrogant and lazy siren walking on the ground. Her eyes swept across her surroundings and her delicate eyebrows soon frowned with curiosity.
The extras who were paid to stand Ran Xueyi and act as humans enchanted by her beauty also stared at her. Their eyes never left her as their gazes intensified when she stepped closer to where they stood.
Soon, more and more 'humans' followed blindly behind her, held captive by the tempting and enticing scent that was coming from the siren.
"Cut!" Director Tian soon called out and the corners of his lips were upturned. As expected, Ran Xueyi was his number one muse in filming ads.
Earlier, the assistant didn't even get to raise the paperboard to signal the actors to gawk and follow Ran Xueyi. Yet, when they saw her walking towards them and passing by them, they tacitly stared at her as though their souls were being pulled by her. They couldn't help but follow closely behind her even without the assistant telling them to do it.
It was really like seeing a siren walking in front of them.
Ran Xueyi approached Director Tian and the monitor. Zhao Fei and Feng Huai were also standing close by.
"How is it?" Ran Xueyi asked when the replay was finished.
Feng Huai responded quickly and gave her two thumbs up: "Sister Ran! You really look good here!"
Ran Xueyi smiled, "Only good?"
"No! Not only good..." Feng Huai immediately said and a shameful expression flashed on his face. "You were just too tempting earlier. Even I couldn't help but melt just seeing it."
Zhao Fei smacked the head of the blushing assistant manager. This child was too innocent. It would be dangerous if he actually had other thoughts and got thrown into some river by a certain someone who was possessive of his wife.
She turned to Director Tian, who was silent this time, and heard him say, "This guy is right... You performed so well that I got an idea for my next 'adventure'." He then whispered, "I'm sure he'll love it."
Ran Xueyi, who stood very closely to Director Tian, rolled her eyes. The 'adventure' he was talking about certainly didn't have any connection to him filming another advertisement. Director Tian should be talking about his thousand adventures in bed.
"Since you like it, can we proceed to shoot the second and third theme?" Ran Xueyi suddenly said.
Director Tian stared at her, "Are you in such a hurry? So confident you'd be shooting every theme in one take?"
Ran Xueyi laughed and replied, "I wouldn't know if I don't try. Besides, you chose me to shoot this ad, so you must have great trust in me."
"Tsk, smarta**" Director Tian looked annoyed, but his eyes were now smiling even more.
The surrounding staff was frozen stiff from seeing this scene and wondered if they were dreaming. However, they weren't and this was really happening. Just who was this Ran Xueyi who could speak towards Director Tian like that? Wasn't she too brave?
Ran Xueyi laughed while sensing everyone's gazes change. She didn't care about them. It was their right to doubt her and it was only her right to prove them wrong.
The next two shoots consisted of two themes namely 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Wisteria Blooming in Spring'. As the name suggests, Alice in Wonderland was set in a fantasy world whereas Wisteria Blooming in Spring was set in two worlds: the historical and modern world.
At the end of the day, Ran Xueyi didn't even make a mistake and filmed every theme very flawlessly. Those who used to talk badly behind her and wanted to spray dirty water on her, all had their faces slapped and couldn't open their mouths.
Why is she so good?
And why are they slowly turning into a fan?
Ran Xueyi was invited by Director Tian for dinner. The four soon stopped at a private restaurant that Director Tian chose and separated after they were done eating.
Soon, the days passed and Ran Xueyi had to be in different places for several days. She appeared in different films, acting a role with few scenes but has character depth to it. She also filmed another advertisement.
Right now, in less than a month, Ran Xueyi has already filmed seven different films. If other people in the entertainment circle heard this, they would be surprised. No one could possibly film seven films. However, it was possible if you're not the main lead and only took roles with fewer scenes.
There were only a few days till the month ended. Ran Xueyi looked at the calendar in front of her and decided to head out early that morning to see Doctor Qin for an early check up.
While driving her car, the road was slowly ingested with cars as people were rushing to work and school. The bus and train station was full and many people were also seen walking on the road.
Ran Xueyi was several meters away from Doctor Qin's place. She could already see the building standing on the side of the road with the other buildings when she saw a white light flashing from her left.
Screech?—
BAM!
Ran Xueyi felt her body being pulled by inertia as the strong impact of the other car hitting her almost threw her out of the window. Thankfully, the belt held her in place and an emergency protection bag lessened the front impact she experienced.
However, the car that struck her didn't stop on its onslaught as if it was intent on driving the two cars to the wall and smashing the people inside to death.
Ran Xueyi heard the high pitch noise blaring inside her ears and frowned. She wanted to close her eyes as broken glass fragments flew in the air. However, the desire to see who was driving the other car won over her reasons.
She turned her head to the side and looked at the other car.
As expected, the front windshield was tinted and the person inside couldn't be seen. However, Ran Xueyi already expected this and she focused her eyes on the plate number instead.
Ran Xueyi was shocked to see that it wasn't the normal plate number but instead it was a designated plate number that only a few people in the country could get. However, the information in order to obtain the name of the person registered to this plate number was too impossible to attain.
The collision between the two cars captured every person walking nearby to look at them. Seeing that the one at fault here was the black car, they soon came forward to surround it. They were afraid that the black car would flee after causing an accident.
However, as if the black car sensed what was happening, it soon turned its wheels and rushed on the road, not caring if it crashed into someone.
The people who wanted to stop it also didn't want to lose their lives. They could stop it if it was not moving, but a moving car was another thing.
And more importantly, the white car was almost crushed by the other car. It was more important to check the person inside it than chasing after the black car.
Ran Xueyi was helped by other people and coincidentally, Doctor Qin and Lu Che just arrived in time to witness the accident. They unexpectedly saw Ran Xueyi being pulled up by the people surrounding the white car and the both of them glanced at each other before pushing the bystanders away to reach her.

Poisonlily has something to say: Can you guess who did this?
Ps. Calm down. Don't worry, nothing bad will happen.
