In the nick of time, Xia Zhiyi lifted the still confused stagehand with one hand and swiftly moved away, instantly moving to a distance of three meters from the incident site. She then kicked up a wooden plank on the ground to block the flying debris, finally ensuring her safety.
The stagehands were dumbfounded.
People nearby gathered around at the sound of the commotion, chattering all at once, turning the previously quiet environment into a noisy one.
"What happened? What just occurred?"
"Who piled up these boxes? It's amazing they fell from such a height! Luckily, the reaction was quick, or someone could have been killed!"
"This must have been placed here by the props department, right? Where are the props department staff?"
Where are the stagehands?!
The stagehand, who had just been in a state of shock, finally came to his senses and shakily raised his hand. "I'm here."
Everyone turned around and looked at the two of them.
Xia Zhiyi slowly straightened her sleeves, noticed everyone's gaze, looked up, and then slowly smiled, "Hello."
Uh... hello.
" Stagehand Liu, don't just stand there! Did you see what happened?"
A little girl who had just witnessed the scene from nearby raised her hand. "I was right here, I saw it clearly! When Stagehand Liu, and this young man were passing by, the box on top, I don't know if it wasn't placed securely or what, suddenly fell down, and the contents spilled out. If the two of them hadn't dodged quickly, we would have to call an ambulance right now!"
"Ah, this must be Teacher Xia Zhiyi!"
"Huh? Xia Zhiyi!?"
"Oh, thank goodness, it's Teacher Xia! Thank goodness it's Teacher Xia, otherwise our entire production would have had to stop..."
A series of soft, fragmented sounds arose. Some people thought Xia Zhiyi couldn't hear them and was whispering in a corner, unaware that Xia Zhiyi had heard everything clearly.
Xia Zhiyi's smile remained unchanged. To everyone else, he was indeed as rumored to be—extremely calm and composed. He had almost been injured when he first joined the film crew, yet he remained so unfazed and showed no signs of anger.
In reality...
Xia Zhiyi: Ah, not surprising at all.
Fortunately, when Xia Zhiyi learned that Fu Yunyi was not on set, he let Fu Chi leave first. He didn't think that Fu Chi could really spend the whole day with him just because he said he was taking leave. He was already very satisfied that Fu Chi could take him to the set.
As always, Fu Chi listened to him. Xia Zhiyi told him to go about his business, so he gave Ming Taotao a card and asked her to take care of Xia Zhiyi's daily needs before obediently leaving.
Otherwise, if Fu Chi saw this scene, he would probably be furious.
Xia Zhiyi knew that today's incident was somewhat related to him, but to outsiders, it was purely a mishap caused by the production crew's poor planning, which Xia Zhiyi to be caught in.
If it weren't for Xia Zhiyi, who seems to have some kind of cheat code, standing here just now, at least one of them, the stagehand, would have been in serious trouble—the box fell from a height of over two meters, and it just so happened to contain some mirrors. Whether it was the shattered glass flying everywhere or the sharp edges hitting someone's face or head, it would be no laughing matter.
Director Mu, who had been waiting for Xia Zhiyi nearby, heard the commotion and rushed over. Seeing the mess, his expression turned extremely grim. "Who's in charge of this?"
Xia Zhiyi thought for a moment, then remained silent, watching as Director Mu and a few other influential people gathered around and quickly resolved the matter.
Ultimately, it was a part-time worker in the props department who was lazy and didn't put things in their proper places that got caught, got a scolding, and was fired.
Director Mu personally came over to apologize to Xia Zhiyi: "I'm very sorry, our crew didn't do a good job behind the scenes today, and something almost went wrong. I also want to thank you for stepping in just now, otherwise Liu Chang might not have been able to react in time."
Liu Chang was the stagehand who had just led Xia Zhiyi in.
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "It's alright. I didn't think our crew would be so careless as to store the mirror so high up. It's good that no one got hurt."
Director Mu is one of the top directors in Xia Country, and the crew he leads is not a small crew. In addition, Fu Yunyi is involved in no small project this time. There is also cooperation with the official authorities behind the scenes. The crew should have considered all aspects. There are also their own rules and regulations for the storage of props.
Xia Zhiyi's appearance increases the probability of an accident from 50% to 80-100%. However, without the initial 50%, the accident would not have happened. Therefore, the hidden danger was inherent; it's just that Xia Zhiyi's bad luck increased the probability of it being triggered.
However, if Fu Yunyi or the original female lead Gu Miaomiao, who has yet to appear, were present, the probability of triggering this event would fluctuate depending on the actual situation.
If the male and female leads work well with the crew and there are no conflicts or unpleasant incidents, the probability of them being cast will be reduced.
If someone in the production crew targets the main characters or acts against them, the probability of an accident happening to that person increases.
Don't ask.
The answer is simple: the Protagonist Halo.
The answer lies in the Power of the Plot.
Therefore, after the incident, Xia Zhiyi did not presumptuously intervene. The potential danger was real, and the dismissed young man did not place the items according to regulations, which led to this accident. Being able to discover and resolve the problem in a timely manner is a good thing.
Director Mu was initially worried that Xia Zhiyi relentless due to being frightened, but seeing that he remained calm and composed throughout, making it impossible for anyone noticing that he was the person involved, he felt great admiration for him.
Such composure in the face of both honor and disgrace is something that few people, let alone young people, can achieve, even among middle-aged and elderly people.
Director Mu is a man of great experience and a renowned director. Putting aside everything else, he can naturally tell whether Xia Zhiyi is truly calm or just pretending.
Xia Zhiyi: " Director Mu, if there's nothing else here for now, I'll go change my clothes first?" I just reminded him to take the costume photos.
Director Mu smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Alright, you do look a bit like Yan Yan. Go change your clothes, and come find me when you're done. I'll tell you more about Yan Yan."
Xia Zhiyi: "Okay, Director Mu."
After Xia Zhiyi turned and left, Director Mu took a cigarette from someone next to him, but didn't light it, just put it in his mouth, and asked, "What do you think?"
Beside him was producer Fan Hu, who had just walked over.
Hearing Director Mu's words, Fan Hu smiled, looked away, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and then said, "I recently received some news."
"They're planning to support several martial arts dramas next year, can you guess why?"
Director Mu: "..."
