Chapter 1495 Good Work
“You have wire stunts in the afternoon, Jessie. You think you’re going to be okay?” Vincent asked, to which Jessie nodded with reassurance. “Absolutely. This is my forte.”
Her answer pleased him, for he didn’t like his actors to use stunt doubles.
At around 2.00PM at the hotel, Julian could no longer sit still after learning about the wire stunts arranged in the afternoon from the crew, so he had his assistant ready the car to head to the set.
He was dressed in all black and even wore a baseball cap as he didn’t want to garner attention. He was just there to see how the girl was doing and also to make sure she was safe during her wire stunt.
Because of the wire stunt, Jessi didn’t dare overeat. In the past, she would even do them with an empty stomach as she would be more awake and more agile.
Anything could happen on set, and sure enough, the wire stunt was brought forward as they were missing one of the props for the next scene.
Jessie stood below the crane in her costume while the stunt crew helped secure her to the mechanism. Vincent, too, came to check on the situation and ensured her safety.
After everything was set to go, Vincent gave her some words of encouragement, then cleared the set for filming.
The scene was about Estelle picking a magical herb, and she was magically light as a feather. It would be a visual delight, but such a scene challenged an actor’s movements in the air and also the steadiness when they landed.
Meanwhile, Julian had arrived, and he was standing behind the crew, who were watching the filming process. His heart was in his mouth when he saw a certain someone hanging mid-air. Is she not afraid at all?!
He subconsciously clenched his fists as he glued his gaze to Jessie, who floated in the air like she felt nothing. Then, following Vincent’s cue, Jessie flew across the camera ethereally.
It looked as though even the wind was working with her, making it seem like her hair was acting along with her under the high-definition camera.
The young woman didn’t appear the slightest bit nervous as she chased after the prop. She tip-toed lightly across the floor and suddenly leaped, stepping on a green screen-covered prop to once again chase after the prop until she landed gracefully on the ground.
If it weren’t for the visible wire, everyone would’ve thought Jessie actually flew. Her figure was absolutely perfect, and her movements were incredibly light and agile.
No wonder she had a place in the stunt double community. She was absolutely perfect.
Aside, a certain someone heaved a sigh of relief and finally relaxed after watching her land. She sure is full of surprises.
Meanwhile, Vincent was personally checking every footage they had just shot from the director’s monitor, and by the end of it, he gave her a thumbs up. “Great job, Jessie. That was wonderful.”
Jessie had just unhooked herself from the mechanism when she received Vincent’s praise, and she beamed like a child getting candy. As she smiled, a fathomless gaze entered her vision. Joy instantly turned into surprise and ran toward Julian while lifting her dress.
For a moment, awe laced his gaze as Jessie in her costume made him think he was in a mythical world and a bubbly elf was running to him.
Jessie didn’t notice the pipe protecting the wires below her feet when she was about a few feet away from him, and she tripped.
“Ah!” she cried out and flung herself into Julian’s arms like a fluttering butterfly. Julian, too, caught her nearly instantly, and the faint perfume and the tender, slender waist made him didn’t want to let go of her.
Jessie, however, left his embrace in a panic, looking as though she feared offending him.
“Sorry, I didn’t hurt you, did I?” she checked his condition at once.
“No.” He shook his head with a chuckle. “You did great.”
