He always chose to work with big-name Hollywood actors, either famous models or movie stars, so it was quite surprising that he had chosen Warm.

Warm also seized this opportunity and tried her best to do well in the project.

Micheal was a huge star with an extremely temperamental personality. Working with him put immense pressure on Warm. The entire band followed his lead, and as the female lead of the music video, Warm had to perform many dangerous actions without any stunt doubles. She had to do everything herself.

If there were even slight mistakes, Micheal would get angry and scold people. Warm was scolded several times for no reason by him, which was very rude. He was known for being overly critical.

She disliked the way Hollywood looked at Easterners; most of her roles in films involved action scenes. Her agent had once wanted her to take on a few big-budget productions where she would play an Eastern woman who was highly skilled in martial arts, as if they believed that Eastern men and women in Hollywood could only act in action movies.

This was the predicament many Easterners faced when entering Hollywood.

It was too limiting.

Warm turned them all down. She knew that once she accepted one role like this, similar roles would come her way again and again, leading to a fixed image for her. Moreover, the production cycle of Hollywood films was three or four times longer than in her home country, so she couldn't afford it. Therefore, she decided not to take on any such roles.

She wasn’t suited for these kinds of roles; what she excelled at were dramatic films that focused on psychological expression. However, Hollywood was a place where special effects were emphasized rather than acting skills.

So she is very patient and meticulous when it comes to taking on film roles.

The MV doesn't matter much, but this time the MV required Nuannuan to wear a tight leather jacket, dance energetically with Michael, and perform an impressive set of martial arts moves solo, which was quite spectacular.

Seeing her own costume, she knew that she wasn't suited for this role. However, Michael thought it looked good and interesting; since it's just an MV, Nuannuan didn't mind.

But filming proved to be challenging.

This person’s temper was even worse than Lin Ning's. If you couldn’t perform the way he wanted, after teaching a few times, he would lose his temper and use very unpleasant language. This man would demonstrate an entire set of long moves for you and start yelling if you didn't do it right on your first try. Nuannuan was a kind person with good temper, so she wouldn’t argue with him.

Over the past half year, she had seen many superstars with big egos.

The MV shoot wasn't going smoothly, and Nuannuan also needed to take one day off for the premiere of "Liang Hongyu," as stipulated in her contract. Michael was very unsatisfied with the progress and hoped that Nuannuan could give up on attending the premiere and stay to film the MV. Without hesitation, Nuannuan refused.

She couldn't let down Lin Ning's efforts.

She understood more than anyone else that without this internationally renowned director, Lin Ning, there wouldn’t be today’s successful Nuannuan.

To remember where the water comes from when you drink it.

Moreover, she knew that Ye Feimo would attend the premiere, and Mo Xiaobai would also be there.

Michael was displeased with Warm's polite refusal; he was an egocentric man who might have forcibly kept her to shoot the music video if not for the contract stipulations.

This time, while shooting the music video in the studio, Warm was discussing the next set of actions with Michael. She had just completed a sequence, leaving only one day's work on the MV, and she needed to catch an evening flight back to City A for the premiere.

Suddenly, the hanging chandelier above swayed slightly. While they were busy working, someone shouted "be careful" as the loose chandelier started falling due to improper tightening; everyone quickly scattered upon hearing the commotion. In the chaos, Warm was pushed and fell towards a decorative copper statue beside her, accompanied by the crash of the light fixture landing at her feet. The impact caused her to hit her head on the statue and bleed profusely, causing her to lose consciousness immediately.

The scene was in total disarray; incidents like these often happen during shootings. Michael hurriedly sent Warm to the hospital; her agent immediately informed Long Chengtian.

When Warm woke up the next midday, her head wound had been treated and wrapped with a white bandage, but she still felt unwell, dizzy.

She had missed her flight. The original schedule was for a seven PM plane last night that should have landed around ten AM today in City A, where the premiere would start tonight; now there were only six hours left until the premiere, and it was impossible to arrive on time even with wings.

Warm felt extremely frustrated; Du Di said, "Don't worry about it. Your health is most important—don't think about anything else."

Warm personally called Lin Ning to apologize; now no one could get her to City A in time for the premiere. Lin Ning's temper was still fiery, but the news of Warm's accident at the MV shooting site had spread online and in newspapers, so he could do nothing about it.

Cai Xiaojing, who had experience as an agent, suggested that when Warm couldn't make it to the premiere on time, they should prepare a video message (VCR) for her, which might be useful.

It didn't take much effort for Lin Ning to put together a video message in just a few hours. Warmth repeatedly apologized over the phone.

When something happened to Warmth, Ye Feimo naturally knew about it as there were already news online last night. Mou Xiaobai was already in City A and noticed how concerned Ye Feimo seemed despite his expressionless face. He called Long Chengtian to ask about her situation.

Luckily, everything turned out okay; she only suffered from a concussion but no major injuries that would take time to recover from. However, Mou Xiaobai wasn't so lucky. Warmth was sent to the hospital by her agent after the incident at the shooting location, and there was a script supervisor present who had taken note of what happened. Michael didn’t come, and Long Chengtian's temper flared up when he heard about it. He gave Michael a beating that left him bruised and swollen.

In Long Chengtian’s words, if his precious little sister couldn't shoot the music video, then everyone should take some time off to rest.

This wasn’t an unexpected disaster for Michael.

Long Chengtian had been harboring resentment towards Michael for a long time. He had gone to see Warmth’s music video recording once and saw how the person he cherished was verbally abused, which made him feel extremely angry. He wished he could punch Michael like punching a sandbag.

If not for Warmth's intervention, Long Chengtian would have beaten him up long ago.

This time, Michael really angered Long Chengtian by causing Warmth to get hurt. Naturally, Long Chengtian wouldn’t be very polite with him and beat him so badly that he ended up in the hospital without knowing who it was. When he saw his injuries were more severe than Warmth’s, they definitely had to pause production on the music video.

When Warmth woke up and found out that her brother had beaten Michael, she couldn’t help but wail, "Brother, how could you randomly beat people What if..."hing; Gu Baby’s face turned red as she glared fiercely at Mu Chen. He quickly adjusted his facial expression—he stopped smiling but was holding back laughter so hard it felt like an internal injury. T...
