3 Keep Her (1/2)

Shi Mei only opened her eyes when she felt that her surrounding was already quiet and calm.

And when she finally opened her eyes, she saw that they were already shooting the scene again though it was strange for her that the lights were turned off. Her head ached but she still picked the sword. As she raised herself, she barely saw the man in the darkness who was pulling the string of his bow. She held her sword tightly and ran at full speed as she dodged or knocked the men in black she ran over.

The arrow was already reaching the actor, Shi Mei quickly knocked the arrow by her sword. But she felt the heaviness of the arrow in her wrist, she thought that it was unusual for the props team to use a metal arrow, usually, it was synthetic. And this already reaching her nerve, and also they started to shoot again without notifying her.

Shi Mei disregarded it for she thought that finally the shooting ended smoothly and she hoped the main director would not ask for a retake. She turned her back but she quickly glanced at the actor, she noticed that he looked like a different man. She noticed the man's face because of the light lit by the old lamp. She stared intently at the man, verifying if he was not the actor-but she was shocked when there were still arrows flying towards them.

[What the heck is happening now? Isn't the scene ended just now? I read in the script that the crown prince and the woman will talk to each other now. And the main actress will be the one to shoot it.

Where is the CUT now?!]

Xue Huan picked his sword and he quickly stood up as he pulled the woman towards his back. He slashed the arrows while striking the bandits on their front.

Shi Mei was still dumbfounded for she had no idea of what's going on anymore. But she was sure that there was no scene similar to what's happening now to them in the script.

”Director! Did you add another scene again!? For goodness sake, why didn't you tell me so that I could also prepare myself!”Shi Mei yelled with annoyance in her voice but no one answered to her and that made her more furious. She pulled her hand but the actor as she thought only held it again without looking at her.

”Crap! I don't want to shoot this film anymore so stop this scene and let me go home now!”Shi Mei shouted again but she didn't receive any response.

”Hey, didn't you hear me!?”

”Woman! Stay still!”Xue Huan shouted back as he continued to strike every bandit on their front.

The three men's attention was also caught by the lady's sudden appearance but they eventually ignored it as they fought back to the bandits.

Shi Mei was struggling to pull her hand.

”Stop moving or I'll be the one to kill you!”Xue Huan yelled furiously, he wanted to let go of the lady's hand and just killed her on the spot. But he still puzzled why did the lady hit the arrow pointed towards him, he wanted to know who sent her.

”You dumbass!I'm done with this trash scene-”Shi Mei stopped and pondered what's happening around her now.

[Wait, this is already weird. How could the audio director allows us to shoot the scene when I'm already yelling things that don't fit the film anymore?]

Though it was dark, Shi Mei tried to recognize her surrounding but she could not see the equipment, tents, and even the production team. She could only see people lying on the ground with blood on them. At one moment, she thought that everything that's happening was actually real but she dismissed it at once because that was already beyond her illusion.

”At last!”Chen Wei exclaimed as there were no bandits left on the area now.

”Did you make sure that no one escaped?”Xue Huan asked Gong Yan while still looking at the area.
