In the end, Levi Fernandez gave her some time to adjust her condition before continuing the shooting, and the actress’s state was obviously much smoother.
The scene was finally finished successfully.
Lucy was worried that the actress might be mentally burdened and walked over to her with a smile. “Sister Astrid, you acted quite well earlier. Don’t be stressed.”
Astrid looked at her with a complicated gaze. Her face did not show the gratitude that should have been there.
Instead, she said indifferently, “I’m not stressed.”
Then, she coldly turned and left.
Lucy was somewhat embarrassed and bewildered by the cold treatment.
However, she did not think much about it. Astrid was humiliated in front of her juniors, so she might just be feeling upset about it.
After a short break in the middle of the scene, they quickly moved on to the next scene.
It was an action scene, also featuring Astrid and her.
Lucy played the female lead who discovered that her partner, played by Astrid, was an enemy spy, which caused a fight to break out.
In the fight, she would stab Astrid with a sword, and Astrid would flee after being wounded.
Of course, the stunts were all set up beforehand and no one would get hurt. They would just be acting.
“Take one, action!”
With Levi’s order, the crew quieted down. Everyone’s eyes were focused on the two outstanding actresses.
Lucy did not have any problems with her makeup today, but the costume on her body was a little big so she was unable to perform her movements.
Fortunately, she practiced her moves very well before, so there should be no problem.
As long as Astrid could actively cooperate with her, she believed that they would be able to pass the first take itself.
Unfortunately, it was only Lucy who held such thoughts.
Astrid, who was acting opposite her, did not look at her at all. Lucy did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt that there was something off with Astrid’s state.
Her eyes suddenly became sinister, like a snake spitting out venom. At first, it was just the continuation of the fight scene, but a new situation soon emerged.
Both of them were holding prop swords, but even swords without a blade were not light in their hands.
Some of the stabbing scenes in costume dramas were filmed through misdirection. Lucy prepared to follow the steps and stab Astrid under her large sleeve, just like how she learned before.
At that point, Astrid would quickly cover her armpit and break the blood pack placed there beforehand, thus creating an illusion that she had been stabbed.
However, Astrid suddenly smirked.
Then, disregarding all their rehearsed moves earlier, she turned to the side and jumped on Lucy’s sword.
Lucy hurriedly withdrew her sword, but she could feel that it had already pierced the other party.
With a soft shred, the sword cut through flesh and scarlet blood welled up.
A scream sounded, and cries started to emerge from around.
“Astrid, are you alright?”
“She’s injured.”
