Chapter 512 Barely Finished It
"Laura, do you need me to get you some painkillers? Or maybe you should ask for sick leave?"
There seemed to be some painkillers in Laura's bag, but Nicole didn't find them just now.
Seeing Nicole's anxious face, Laura shook her head.
"I'm fine."
She tried her best to stand up with a pale face and dragged herself to sit in front of the dressing table.
"Can you get me some warm water in a thermos? And don't make a fuss."
Looking at her pale face, Nicole nodded. She wanted to say something, but didn't say it.
In a short while, other actors came in.
There weren't many dressing rooms, so many people packed in one room.
Because of what had happened yesterday, people didn't like Laura to some extent. But none of them
dared to show that because of the fact that she was the leading actress and her rising popularity in the
circle over the past two years.
However, Nicole still acutely felt a sense of alienation.
She got mad and was about to lose her temper, but someone quietly pulled her sleeve.
She lowered her head and saw Laura gently shaking her head at her.
Nicole had to give up. In annoyance, she went out to ask the makeup artist to help Laura put on her
makeup.novelbin
Not far away, Lanna witnessed that scene and seemed satisfied.
Before long, a makeup artist came in and finished Laura's look. The shooting would begin at 8 am, so
Laura walked out.
According to the schedule, there weren't any action scenes today.
Laura had no worries. Although she felt uncomfortable, it was easy to finish a scene without the action
part. And it didn't involve mixed emotions. Anyway, it should be an easy task.
Unfortunately, it wasn't until she was on the set that she knew that the actor who was supposed to
finish the scene with her was seriously ill today and had asked for a leave.
Once Peter saw her, he beckoned to her.
Laura immediately walked towards him.
"We changed our schedule of the day. We won't do the indoor part. And we will shoot the scene in the
water outdoors. Go get ready. The stunt coordinator will help you get familiar with your moves."
Laura was taken aback. Looking at the script in Peter's hands, she didn't know what to do.
"But, Peter..."
Peter frowned and gave her a glance of displeasure.
"Shirley has been hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis. Now we must hurry up. We don't have any
time to waste. I don't want to hear your advice. The water scene will be filmed sooner or later. And it's
warm today. I made the change for you. OK?"
Laura bit her lips. In a long while, she still nodded.
"Sure. Thanks, Peter."
Peter waved his hand, and Laura left to get ready.
Once Nicole learned that Laura was going to do the water scene, she was stunned.
"You can't get into the water. You don't feel well today. It'll get worse if you're in the water."
Laura sighed.
"Nicole, go get me some cotton swabs."
"Laura."
"Go!"
Laura interrupted her. Seeing that, Nicole turned her back on Laura and stomped off to the lounge.
Laura learned her moves from the stunt coordinator, then the male actor who was doing the water
scene was ready.
The staff helped to hang her up with wires and the shooting began.
It was an action scene.
Because there were many action scenes in this show, as the leading actress, Laura had to fight a lot.
Nearly 40% of her work involved action scenes.
Normally, she could handle it.
But today she was really in a bad condition. Even if she used her full strength, she could hardly make
the director happy.
"Cut!"
With a frown, Peter moved his eyes away from the monitor, then looked at the people hanging above
the pond.
"Laura, what's wrong with you? You look so weak. You're not like a female general at all."
Laura compressed her lips. She knew Peter wasn't making things difficult for her, and her performance
today was indeed unsatisfactory, so she said, "Sorry. Let's try again. I'll do my best."
Peter sat down in anger.
After he said "action", the actors stood in their postures and the shooting began.
The plot was that after they fought for a while, Laura would be stabbed with a sword and then fall into
the water.
Although it was autumn, the weather was cold. It was sunny, but the temperature was actually a bit low.
There was a small pond outside overgrown with weeds.
They fought for several rounds. Later, Laura was "stabbed", then she screamed and fell into the water.
The actor flew back to the shore, holding his sword after a very beautiful sword dance. Standing there
upright, he looked very attractive.
Laura struggled a few times in the water, then came out with a bunch of colorful weeds on her head.
She pointed to the shore and shouted, "Tom Smith, how dare you!"
"Cut!"
Peter's voice sounded at this moment.
"Next scene."
He only said two simple words, but everyone at the set felt greatly relieved.
The actor became nervous and worried about Laura right after the shooting ended. Watching Laura
trembling in the water with her arms crossed on her chest, he asked, "How do you feel? Are you OK?"
Laura felt freezing cold in the icy water. "I'm fine," she said, with her teeth shook in coldness.
Other people on the set pulled her up at once.
Once she got out of the water, Nicole ran over with a bottle of warm water and a blanket.
Seeing her deathly pale face, Nicole felt like crying.
"Laura."
Laura patted the back of her hand to comfort her, then said in a low voice, "I'm fine. Don't worry."
Nicole pursed her lips and covered Laura tight in a blanket.
Laura had a few mouthfuls of water, then walked over to Peter.
"Peter, how's that shot?"
Peter nodded and looked up at her again. He frowned when he saw that she was all wet with a pale
face.
"Your part is over today. Go home and have a good rest."
Laura nodded.
"Thanks, Peter."
So she left. Not far away, Lanna frowned as she watched the scene.
"Hi, Peter."
She walked over and smiled at him, "Is it my part next?"
Peter gave her a nod and told the assistant director to tell her what she should do next. Laura turned
around and gave them a glance. She seemed to think about something.
Back at the hotel, Laura took a warm shower. As soon as she lay in bed, she felt pain all over her body.
She closed her eyes and felt dizzy, as if something was stirring in her head, which was really
uncomfortable.
Nicole went out to buy some pills for her. Seeing Laura lying there, she poured a glass of warm water
and walked over.
"Laura, are you alright?"
