Are you trying to force me to become a star?

Chapter 93 Rescue

The filming location was in complete chaos.

Everyone gathered in four different places: Director Hu's place, Hu Ke's place, Xu Jinyan's place, and Er Tong's place.

Hu Ke slumped to the ground, panting heavily, his head covered in cold sweat, looking like he had just escaped a disaster. His assistant and agent checked his body with concern.

Mao Xiaotong and Li Yitong seemed to have just come to their senses and were currently kneeling on the ground, hugging each other and crying.

With the help of the staff, Director Hu got up from the ground, clutching his lower back with one hand, and anxiously directed, "Quickly go and check on the others, see if Hu Ke and Xu Jinyan are alright, and call the medical staff immediately."

His hands were trembling!

At that moment, Zhou Xiaoyu was circling around Xu Jinyan. After confirming that her artist was alright, she patted her chest in relief.

As Xu Jinyan's assistant, she silently followed behind Xu Jinyan and was one of the people who witnessed the entire process up close.

She was completely stunned from the moment that horse neighed and charged towards them.

She first saw Xu Jinyan quickly step forward just as the horse was about to collide with the two girls.

She thought Xu Jinyan was about to selflessly sacrifice herself for others, and was about to shout "Be careful!"

Then Xu Jinyan wrapped her arms around the waists of the two girls and turned around to let them pass.

He also kicked the director to a safe position.

Then, before she could even catch her breath, Xu Jinyan put down the two girls and immediately followed the horse, catching Hu Ke just in time when he fell off.

The entire process took less than 5 seconds.

However, in those brief 5 seconds, Xu Jinyan saved four people.

Zhou Xiaoyu walked around to Xu Jinyan's side, looking up at him with admiration: "Brother Xu, you're amazing!"

Xu Jinyan chuckled and slacked off, saying, "Don't be crazy about me, I'm just a legend!"

……

……

Twenty minutes later, Director Hu sat on the sofa in the lounge, looking at the few people next to him who were still in shock, and felt relieved.

Mao Xiaotong and Li Yitong were drinking warm water in a daze, while Dilraba and their assistants were taking care of them, though they would occasionally glance at Xu Jinyan.

Hu Ke was lost in thought, and although his body trembled occasionally, he didn't even break a scratch when he fell off the horse.

As for Xu Jinyan—unhurried and slightly dirty, he was playing on his phone.

Director Hu realized that he seemed to be the one who was most seriously injured in the accident.

However, he had no complaints whatsoever; on the contrary, he was deeply grateful.

A little while later, the assistant director came in.

He first gave Xu Jinyan a strange look, then handed the portable monitor tablet to Director Hu.

"Director Hu, the footage from just now has been captured..."

Director Hu took the tablet, and seeing that everyone had calmed down, he clicked play. The sound of "action" echoed in the quiet lounge.

The others had been paying attention to the assistant director ever since he came in.

At this moment, they also stood up and came closer, wanting to see how they had managed to escape unscathed.

Xu Jinyan was sitting there feeling a bit awkward, not expecting this turn of events.

Whether he should watch it with the past or sit still, neither seems quite right.

A shout of "Be careful!" came from the tablet. Amidst the chaotic noise, everyone saw how Xu Jinyan had risked his life to save them in the accident.

After the video finished playing, the group looked at Xu Jinyan, their eyes overflowing with deep gratitude.

For a moment, no one spoke, and Xu Jinyan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.

He glanced at the image frozen on the tablet: Hu Ke holding the reins, galloping on horseback.

So he sang a line:

"You are a mighty and valiant man, lassoing your horse, and your galloping steed is magnificent!"

Unfortunately, humor doesn't work well at this moment.

Hu Ke walked straight up to Xu Jinyan, bowed deeply, and perhaps felt that wasn't enough, so she wanted to kneel down.

Xu Jinyan immediately stepped aside, supporting him and stopping his movement, and said with a smile, "There are still a few days until the New Year, what are you doing?"

Hu Ke insisted on performing the grand ceremony, but found that her body was already firmly controlled.

Shocked by Xu Jinyan's strength, she turned around and hugged him tightly, punching him hard on the back twice without saying a word.

This is no longer a matter of simply saying "thank you".

Others might not see it clearly, but he himself knew it:

—Xu Jinyan saved his eyes, and even… saved his life.

Releasing Hu Ke, Xu Jinyan looked at Li Yitong who was walking forward and stopped her, giving her a comforting hug.

Li Yitong hugged him tightly and whispered gratefully in his ear, "Thank you."

Xu Jinyan patted her back, and after letting go, he also politely hugged Mao Xiaotong.

At this moment, Director Hu stood up.

Xu Jinyan ignored him and turned to walk towards... Dilraba.

Dilraba was completely bewildered. Why are you hugging me if you're not?

Xu Jinyan: Sorry, I'm used to it.

Dilraba blushed slightly as she watched Xu Jinyan leave.

Just now, Xu Jinyan had held her in his arms, and she could feel his heartbeat up close. Combined with the scene she had just seen in the video, all of this gave her a strong sense of security, making her feel a little reluctant to leave.

She remembered that time in "Mushroom House," when he sang the line, "Crossing through the sea of ​​people, just to embrace you..."

Director Hu laughed heartily: "It seems Jin Yan doesn't want to hug this old man."

Xu Jinyan said sincerely, "No, Director Hu. I'm afraid you'll take the opportunity to kick me."

"Hahaha……"

The atmosphere gradually eased, and everyone slowly returned to their normal state.

They started joking about their thoughts during the incident, talking about how to relax, and imagining that "a narrow escape from death will surely bring good fortune."

However, while each person was speaking, they would occasionally glance at Xu Jinyan, silently keeping their gratitude in their hearts.

At this moment, Director Hu's expression turned serious, and he said, "Jinyan, on behalf of the four of us and the entire 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' crew, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you. Fortunately, you were here today."

The other people in the room also nodded to Xu Jinyan.

If it weren't for Xu Jinyan today... the consequences would be unimaginable!

Xu Jinyan chuckled lightly: "Perhaps this accident wouldn't have happened without me, so there's no need for this. Everyone being safe is the best outcome."

[Positive emotions from the crowd: +99999];

Then, the crew gave everyone a year-end holiday so they could get some rest.

For large-scale period martial arts film crews like this, they only spend half a day having a meal on New Year's Eve, rest all day on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and resume work on the second day.

Today is the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the day after tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, so the crew simply gave everyone a holiday to allow them to properly adjust their state.

Then everyone wanted to invite Xu Jinyan to dinner, but he declined. At this point, what else could they do besides accept their thanks at the dinner?

"Everyone has been exhausted today, so go home and rest now. There will be plenty of time to eat if you want."

After the others left, Xu Jinyan

—So I accepted Dilraba's invitation to have dinner!

Dilraba is free today, so it would be great to have dinner with a pretty girl.

……

Around 8 p.m., Mao Xiaotong dragged her suitcase back to the apartment.

Having experienced emotional highs and lows, she is now completely exhausted.

Pressing the elevator button, she thought of her cold war with Chen Xiang over the past few days and couldn't help but sigh.

Never mind, she doesn't want to argue today...
