NovelEnglishChapter 452 Zelena's Bad Luck
"If you had known, maybe this wouldn't have happened if you didn't switch horses."
Zelena's eyes darkened upon hearing this.
Indeed, the horse had been perfectly docile when Violeta was riding it.
Why did it act up only when she got on?
Did Violeta do anything to the horse?
How could she control a horse?
It seemed absurd, yet her assistant's words echoed in her mind. If she hadn't changed horses, this might not
have happened.
Things didn't turn out as she had planned.
Indeed, Violeta had no way of controlling a horse.
She only knew stricks to temporarily calm it, so she followed her command.
Her master had trained her in this technique. The principle was similar to drawing a line in front of a chicken to

Once the horse was no longer under Violeta's influence, it would revert to its true nature, disliking being ridden.
The news that Zelena needed at least a couple of months to recuperate quickly spread to the production team.
The director and Wade immediately called a meeting to discuss the situation.
The absence of a second lead for a month or two was a serious issue.
The costs for locations, actors, equipment, and props were calculated daily.
Zelena's absence necessitated a longer rental period for the equipment.
Wade and the director insisted on high standards for their work, which included using top-notch equipment with
steep rental fees. Although the initial budget had sflexibility, it couldn't cover such a prolonged delay.
Moreover, reshooting her scenes would be a complex task.
A disjointed integration of an actor's scenes would disrupt the film's flow.
Constant close-ups on Zelena's face weren't a viable solution.
And even if they did, Zelena's acting skills were lacking.
Standard shooting techniques could help mask her weaknesses, but close-ups would only highlight them.
Currently, with the still in the early stages of filming, Zelena's role hasn't expanded much yet. The only
viable solution seemed to be to shorten the second lead's scenes.
If her scenes were cut, could she still be considered the second lead?
This film was a long-tproject for Wade, and he had adapted it into a series.
Its prospects appeared promising until a major issue arose shortly after it began.
The director questioned, "What's wrong with that horse? Is it crazy?"
Everyone turned to the stage manager, who explained, "I
in
consulted the stable staff. They said the white horse has a naturally violent temper. However, Violeta bonded
well with the horse when she chose it."
Horses are living beings, not machines.
They have moods, too.
Given it was a filming, it wasn't unusual for things to go wrong with animal scenes.
However, no one had anticipated Zelena's misfortune, as she sustained injuries even while the horse remained
stationary. Her luck was just unbelievable.

The stage manager continued, "Though | might sound harsh to say this, Zelena's accident was really just bad
luck."
The director sighed and concluded, "Dwelling on this won't help. Our priority is to figure out how to make up for
the delayed schedule and plan Zelena's reshoots without disrupting the flow.
"We can focus on filming Violeta and Nolan's scenes for now and postpone the second lead's scenes," the
director suggested.
He looked at the production assistant and said, "Ask Violeta and Nolan to join us for a meeting. We need to
discuss this together."
The production assistant agreed, "Alright."
Violeta and Nolan soon gathered in the tent.
Nolan had no issues with his scenes.
Their goal was the same: to make this film great, even though the shooting had already spanned nearly a year.
A year was precious for a popular actor.
However, dedicating that tto an excellent project was worth it.
"With Zelena injured, we will delay the second lead's scenes by two months," the director addressed them. "Do
you have any suggestions?" Violeta lowered her gaze, not rushing to speak.
