My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 275

After breakfast, the driver took Ning Ran to the movie set.

It was time again for another session of intense filming.

Today’s movie was especially important as it was a highly anticipated movie that the crew had been preparing for a long time.

But Ning Ran wasn’t feeling herself because of her stomach ache.

She thought about it for a moment. I only had tomato egg Noodles this morning, thats what I usually make. Nothing seemed off about the food I had either. Why am I having an upset tummy?

The movie was important, so she knew she had to give her best in portraying the essence of the movie.

However, her body wasn’t cooperating with her to be in the swing of things.

Everyone could see that she wasn’t in her best state.

Although the director dared not say anything to her, everyone could tell that the director wasn’t happy about it from the frown.

“I’m sorry, Director. My tummy keeps hurting…I can’t get into my best state. Allow me to readjust myself; I’ll feel better,” said Ning Ran, who also felt upset.

“Is it because you’re too tired?” The director asked, concerned.

“Nope, it’s just my stomach hurting.”

“Could it be because you had something bad?”

“I don’t think so. The food I’ve eaten for the past two days were fine. Nothing seemed off,” Ning Ran responded.

“Take a short rest then,” The director said.

“Ding, are you alright?”

Tang Jing asked as she walked towards her.

Tang Jing was a highly-educated, beautiful and intelligent actress, who has always been modest since the day she joined the filming set. She was also known to handle all her matters very diligently.

That said, she was undeniably popular around the crew, especially among the male crews because of her stunning look.

Ning Ran was also beautiful, but because she was known to be a member of the Nan family, the crew members never put any thought on it.

Therefore, ever since Tang Jing replaced Luo Fei in the previous set, she had become the most popular actress among the crew.

“Thank you for your concern. I’m alright. It’s just that my stomach is hurting a little.”

“My manager has brought some generic medication. Should I get two painkillers for you?” Tang Jing asked thoughtfully.

“Sure, thank you.”

Tang Jing asked her assistant to bring painkillers, and Ning Ran took two pills. She wasn’t sure if it was a psychological effect, but she was indeed felt much better.

Then, the filming proceeded.

But the next scene was going to be more challenging as Ning Ran and Tang Jing had to act under the rain.

For such a scene, many popular celebrities would use stunt doubles to cover for them. But Ning Ran was not a famous actress, so there was no one assigned to stand in for her.

She could only pull through with her wearied body. The rain machine dispersed water vigorously to produce thick droplets, which were denser than those from an actual downpour.

However, Tang Jing continuously made mistakes which resulted in numerous NGs. Despite having many shots taken, there were none that made the cut.

Tang Jing’s acting skills were satisfactory, and she was in her ideal state as well. Nobody knew what went wrong today; she just kept making mistakes.

The director had no choice but to call cut.

Ning Ran, who was unwell, to begin with, felt like she was going to collapse after being drenched under the water for such a long time.

“Should we stop filming for today and continue after you’ve adjusted into a better state?” The director asked Tang Jing.

“It’s okay, I should be fine. I’m just worried about Ding because she looks really sick. She has always been my role model and because she wasn’t in her best state, I was out of form too,” Tang Jing replied.

“Ding isn’t in her best state because her body is unwell. You, not being in your best state, is because of yourself. You shouldn’t blame others for it,” The director reminded Tang Jing.

“That’s for sure, I’m not blaming anyone. It’s just that worrying about Ding got me carried away. I’ll try to keep myself in check. Let’s try again for now. If it still doesn’t work, we’ll continue tomorrow. I’m really sorry about this,” Tang Jing said guiltily.

After taking a short break, they continued filming again.

However, Tang Jing was still struggling and repeatedly making mistakes.

This particular scene under the rain took them several hours to film.

When the director finally told them it was over, Ning Ran felt as if she was about to lose her balance.

Just as she entered the resting area, her vision turned black and she collapsed.

When Ning Ran finally regained consciousness, she was already on the ambulance.

Ning Ran panicked a little when she heard the siren of the ambulance as she had never been one before.
