"Wow! Mimi looks so beautiful!"
Luo Qiqi exclaimed, a fan of Mimi.
Many villagers also ran over to watch. After all, she was a big star, and who wouldn't want to see her?
"Mimi's figure is truly amazing!"
"Heh, I'd be willing to live ten years less for a day with her!"
"You bunch of broke dogs, shut up. Don't be fooled by her arrogant demeanor; she's definitely not pure anymore."
"For people like us, only dreaming is possible!"
A few old bachelors gathered, with nothing else to talk about.
"Hey! You, yes, you! What are you doing?"
Suddenly, the director roared, pointing in the direction of the river.
Lin Fan stood by the river, lost in thought, as if he hadn't heard.
Two security guards from the film crew rushed over. "Get out of here! We're about to start shooting, go play somewhere else!"
They mistook Lin Fan for a child.
"Hey, that person, you're my fan, right? Came to ask for an autograph? Hurry over, I'll sign it for you and then you can leave. Don't delay our shoot." Mimi called out.
Lin Fan had never been a fan of celebrities and felt annoyed by her words.
He rolled his eyes, not even glancing at Mimi, and continued to stare at the river.
Mimi had never been ignored by a man before and was instantly furious.
She walked over with her assistant. "I'm talking to you!"
Lin Fan grinned. "You want me to sign for you, what's in it for me?"
The assistant was taken aback. "Are you sick? Mimi giving you an autograph is an honor, and you still want something in return?"
"Xiao Ting!"
Mimi glared at her assistant, then put on a professional smile and said to Lin Fan, "Little handsome guy, we're about to start shooting. If you don't want an autograph, could you please move aside? Mimi thanks you~"
"Now that's something a person would say."
Lin Fan turned and left.
Assistant Xiao Ting couldn't help but grumble, "Mimi, he's such a loser, why are you being so polite to him?"
Mimi lowered her voice and explained, "Didn't you see the machines and phones around? If they post a video of me scolding a fan online, it'll be a big problem."
"Besides, why argue with a country bumpkin? It lowers your status!"
Lin Fan heard the conversation between the two women and couldn't help but sneer.
He had carefully examined the river water earlier and found it contained dense malevolent energy.
Once submerged, ordinary people would be unable to withstand it.
Yesterday, the river water was normal, with no trace of malevolent energy.
Lin Fan glanced at the male actor not far away and suspected it was his doing.
Whether to save him or not was a big question.
As a man, he naturally liked beautiful women.
But seeing Mimi's demeanor, he felt somewhat disappointed.
Her personality was too arrogant, and her mind was full of schemes.
However, he couldn't stand by and watch someone drown.
"Action!"
The director's command signaled the start of the shoot, with all cameras ready.
Mimi, playing the female lead, knelt by the river to wash her face, her clothes getting wet.
Lin Fan activated his Zi Ji Ling Tong (Purple Pole Spirit Eyes) and could see everything clearly.
"Stimulating!"
He exclaimed with relish.
"It's so hot today..."
Mimi splashed water on her face and lifted the hem of her clothes to wipe herself.
It had to be said, this woman knew men exceptionally well.
Every movement, every glance, could stir a man's heart.
She turned her head and looked at the camera.
Her delicate tongue slowly licked her lips. "So dry..."
"Damn!"
Lin Fan exclaimed that he couldn't take it anymore. Her acting was truly good!
"Cut! Mimi, your performance was excellent and very convincing!"
As soon as the director finished speaking, Mimi stood up from the ground.
The crew rushed to touch up her makeup and wet her clothes with water.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Mimi walked barefoot into the river and squatted down.
The river edge was shallow, only reaching her knees.
After she squatted, the water reached her neck.
From a distance, it looked like she was drowning.
"Action!"
The director yelled, and Mimi's hands began to flail in the water.
"Help! Help me..."
The splashing water wet the camera lens.
Although she was washing her face by the river and shouting for help in the water were filmed separately, through post-editing and special effects, it could be presented as if she was washing her face by the river and was pulled into the water by a hand.
"Mimi, I'm coming to save you!"
The male lead made his grand entrance, rushing into the river and carrying Mimi out.
Mimi then acted as if she had choked on water and fainted, waiting for the male lead to give her CPR.
"Mimi's acting is so realistic, she looks genuinely unconscious!"
"Yeah, look at her pale little face; she doesn't even need makeup."
"Fortunately, the water was shallow, or I would have thought she had actually fainted!"
Everyone applauded the scene, but only Lin Fan could tell that Mimi wasn't acting well, but had truly fainted.
A black malevolent energy permeated around her body.
After the male lead performed a feigned CPR, she still didn't wake up.
"Mimi, the director called cut, you can get up now."
Assistant Xiao Ting panicked. No matter how much she called out, Mimi showed no reaction.
"Doctor, call a doctor quickly!"
The director was terrified, immediately calling the film crew's doctor.
Mimi was a popular rising star; if something happened to her in his film, her fans would kill him!
The film crew's doctor soon arrived but found no abnormalities after examination.
"Mimi didn't choke on water, and all her bodily functions are normal."
Hearing the doctor's words, everyone was bewildered.
"Then tell us, why is Mimi unconscious?"
"I don't know either!"
The doctor looked distressed, stating he was powerless.
The director roared, "Stop standing around! Hurry and carry her to the tent. It's so hot, maybe she's suffering from heatstroke!"
He was fearful, as the investor for this new film was scheduled to visit that evening.
Everyone knew that the investor was Mimi's godfather, and if he found out Mimi fainted here, they would all be in serious trouble!
They rushed to carry Mimi into the tent. Two large fans were turned on, but there was no effect.
The male lead sat quietly nearby, his eyes cold and a slight smirk on his lips.
"Director, this isn't working! Mimi still hasn't woken up!"
The assistant was sweating profusely, anxious.
The director paced back and forth. "What kind of lousy place is this? Why is it so bizarre? Quickly call an ambulance! To the nearest hospital!"
"Director, the roads in the mountains are difficult to navigate. The ambulance will take at least two hours to get here. I'm scared, I'm scared..."
The assistant suddenly burst into tears, having never encountered such a situation before.
"Then what should we do?"
The director was also at a loss.
The cinematographer walked over and said, "Director, I heard there's a divine doctor in Luofeng Village. Rich people from the city come to him when they're sick."
The assistant repeatedly shook her head. "No, no. Mimi's body is precious. How can we let a quack doctor see her? What if he makes her condition worse?"
