Chapter 510 A Frame-up On The Set
However, Wes still gave her some time to adjust herself to it. And it was working. When the shooting began again, the actress was obviously able to put on a better performance.
Finally, the filming was over smoothly.
Afraid that she might be stressed, Evelyn walked over and said with a smile, "Rita, you've done a great job just now. Don't feel stressed."
Rita looked at her with a complicated look, and there was no sign of gratitude on her face.
On the contrary, she said nonchalantly, "I'm not stressed."
After that, she turned around and walked away coldly.
Evelyn felt a little awkward and could not understand what was going on after being given a cold shoulder.
However, she did not think too much about it. She only thought that Rita was embarrassed after being humiliated in front of the younger generation.
After a short break in the middle, it was soon time for the next filming.
This was an action scene between Rita and her.
The two had a fight after the heroine played by Evelyn discovered that the supporting actress played by Rita was a spy from the enemy.
Halfway through the fight, she stabbed Rita with her sword, and Rita managed to escape with a wound.
Of course, they had rehearsed all the moves before. Therefore, it won't hurt anyone, they just adjusted the camera angles to make it look real.
"Cameras' rolling, action!"
With Wes's shout, the crew quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two good-looking actresses.
There was nothing that Evelyn was dissatisfied with today's makeup, except for the fact that her costume was a little too big for her, and she could not move freely.
Fortunately, she was very familiar with the moves before, so there should be no problem.
As long as Rita was willing to cooperate with her, she believed that they could film the scene in one take.
It was a pity that only Evelyn had such an idea.
Rita, who was her scene partner, did not look at her at all. She did not know if it was her illusion, but she felt that Rita was not herself today.
Her eyes suddenly became sombre, like a poisonous snake sticking out its tongue. At first, she was just acting the scene mediocrely until something cropped up abruptly.
Both of them held props swords in their hands. Even though they were unsharpened swords, they were quite heavy in their hands.
Some of the scenes where a person was stabbed in the historical drama were just choreographs. Evelyn was planning to follow that, just like what she had learned before. She would stab Rita under sleeve.
At that time, Rita would quickly cover her armpit, and then break the blood squib that had been placed there in advance, so that she could create an illusion that Evelyn had stabbed her.
However, she suddenly saw Rita sneering.
Then, regardless of the moves they had rehearsed before, Rita directly threw herself on to Evelyn's sword.
In a panic, Evelyn had to retract the sword in her hand, but even so, she could still feel that she had stabbed Rita.
"Poof", with a slight sound, the sword cut through her skin and flesh, leaving a trace of blood.
A cry of surprise could be heard, followed by the screams of the people surrounding them.
"Rita, are you alright?"
"She's injured."
Evelyn was stunned. Just now, she had intended to stab her as how they had rehearsed before, but in the end, Rita not only refused to cooperate, but also threw herself on to Evelyn's sword.
Because of the camera angle, in the eyes of others, this was not Rita's fault, but it was Evelyn's negligence who had caused it.
Her facial expression darkened slightly.
On the other side, Rita glanced at her, before she frowned and fell to the ground with a pale face, pretending to be injured.
"Rita, how are you?"
"Rita, where are you hurt?"
Rita smiled weakly at the staff member. "I'm fine. It's just a small injury. It doesn't matter."
Everyone was still worried about her, so they checked and found that it was just a small cut on her arm, which was not too serious.
After all, it was an unsharpened blade, so the damage it caused was limited.
But even so, some people had already quickly gone to ask someone to bring the first aid kit over. They had simply bandaged the wound and stopped the bleeding before sending Rita to the hospital.
On the other side, Wes was also shocked by this incident.
With a sullen face, he angrily said, "What's wrong with you guys? Haven't you been rehearsing for half a day? You can't even do such simple filming?"
The latter part of Wes's words were directed to Evelyn. Anyone could tell that Wes was biased towards Rita.
"Director, I can explain..."
Evelyn's words were interrupted by Rita. She stood up with her hands on her arms with a pale face and looked at Evelyn with disappointment.
"Evelyn, I know you hate me for delaying your shooting progress before, but I didn't do it on purpose. Even if you're angry, there's no need for you to be so ruthless, right?"
Evelyn frowned.
However, before she could speak, she saw Rita laughing in a self-deprecating manner again.
"I clearly don't know my own limits. After all, we are old acquaintances. I thought you really cared about me when I heard you putting in good words for me. I was too naïve."
However, it doesn't matter whether you want to pretend to be a generous and considerate person in front of others or you really have a problem with me, in both situations, you shouldn't hurt me with the sword. It doesn't matter if I'm hurt, but what if the filming is delayed?"
Rita, being the culprit, pushed all the blame on Evelyn alone. Not only that, but she also cleverly shifted everyone's attention, as if she had nothing to do with this matter.
Wes became angrier as soon as he heard Rita's words. Not only he had to deal with these pampered actors in order to win the sponsors' favor, now he had to deal with these trifles on the set.
His expression was as glum as mud. On the other hand, Evelyn was completely stunned.
She had never expected that the senior who had once helped her, would one day use such despicable means to frame her.
After pondering for a while, Evelyn was able to connect the dots and had a rough understanding of what was going on.
Evelyn didn't even bother looking at her. Instead, she turned to look at Wes.
She just wanted to see what the director would say.
The staff behind could not help but whisper among themselves. Everyone also knew that usually, the relationship between female celebrities was not good. The news of them trying to get an upper hand of each other were everywhere. But after all, there were only a few people who would tear into each other in public.
Rita's assistant had already helped her to the chair diligently. The wound had healed after treatment, but there was only a little blood in it. It didn't look serious.
In the face of the director's anger, Evelyn kept silent.
It was not because she dared not to tell the truth, but Rita had the upper hand for the time being. She was waiting to observe Wes's reaction.
"Shut your mouths, all of you. There's too much noise."
