At this moment, at the crew.
Lucy had been dangling there for more than ten minutes.
Levi and Carina ran themselves ragged thinking of all sorts of methods, but they still did not manage to save her.
Since there was only one scene on the mountain today, not many people had joined them. Besides the necessary lighting props and photographers, there were only Levi, several actors, and a makeup artist.
The sudden change of events took everyone by surprise.
Levi shouted at the few people in charge of the props. “Didn’t you say you checked before? You call this checking? Is that how you do things?”
The people also felt wronged. “Director, it’s not like we brought this bridge. It was here since before and everyone walked fine on it. How would we know that it’ll break when Lucy walks on it?”
Levi was so angry he almost blew a gasket.
He turned to the assistant. “Have you found anyone?”
The assistant shook his head awkwardly. “Director, the mountain is too far away and it’s raining. The crane won’t be able to drive over in a short time.”
Levi grew anxious. “What about the stuntmen? Tell them to bring the action choreographer and get her out.”
The assistant was put on the spot.
“All of today’s filming is for literary dramas, so none of them came over. Since we wanted to travel light, the prop team also did not bring along any harnesses. We…”
“Enough!”
Carina suddenly shouted. Her eyes were red with anger as she glared at the group of people who refused to take responsibility, pushing the blame to one another. She said angrily, “Are you still men? Sister Lucy has been hanging down there for more than ten minutes. How long can she last in this heavy rain? Can’t you find a way to find someone to go down and save her?”
The assistant looked at her and said nothing.
Carina continued. “Even if there isn't a harness, a rope would work too. Can’t someone just tie it on their body and go down? Don’t any of you grown men have the courage to step forward?”
No one uttered a word. No one even dared to look at her, all dodging her questioning eyes.
Carina’s heart sank at this sight.
At that moment, someone in the crowd whispered, “It’s raining so heavily and the rocks are slippery. Who would dare to go down without protective gear? Isn’t that asking for death?”
Before he could finish his words, someone jabbed his arm and forced him to shut up.
Levi also looked incredibly unpleasant but at this time, it was inappropriate to force others to go down.
He instructed his assistant in a deep voice, “Immediately call the crew and ask them to send someone with tools to rescue her. In addition, send a report to the police to see if they have a faster and more convenient way nearby to save her.”
The assistant agreed and hurried to it.
Carina saw this and understood that Lucy would not be rescued for a while.
Although the crew and police would be notified, it would still take at least half an hour to get up the mountain. Who knew if Lucy would be able to hold on that long?
In a mixture of fear and panic, Carina started to cry.
When Levi turned around and saw her crying, he could not help but get even more annoyed.
“Alright, stop crying. She’s still fine. What are you crying for?”
Carina sobbed while wiping her tears. “She’s been hanging there for so long. How could she still be fine?”
Levi also grew slightly worried at her words.
He walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. The bottom was so deep that he could not see Lucy at all.
“Lucy Katz, how are you? Can you hear my voice?”
After a long time, a faint voice sounded from below.
“Yes.”
Although the voice was weak, it undoubtedly gave everyone a shot of reassurance.
Everyone was shaken hard. Levi quickly said, “Don’t worry. I’ve already sent someone to get the items needed to save you. How much longer can you hold on?”
