Chapter 383 Schizophrenia
Most of the comments from the outside were handled by the people from the announcing department, and all Melinda needed to
do was to deal with the work in the crew.
The people in the crew were not idiots, and they were all smart people. Many people had seen what had happened between
Felix and Jessica, but no one dared to ask.
Some experienced supporting roles would tease Felix, but it was also a test. If Felix and Jessica really got together, they should
pay attention to their attitude towards Felix in the future.
They did know about it, and they still wanted to tell their friends. That was why the crew was closed and the gossip would still be
known.
However, something happened in the end.
Colson really doted on Alice. No matter how many things happened in the company, he would spare time to accompany her,
which made the whole crew nervous every time he came.
Colson was gentle only to Alice, so he was cruel to others, which made people feel horrible.
The only people in the crew who could talk to him were Melinda and Victor.
Victor didn't have so many scruples. He didn't think that his friendship with Colson was for benefits and didn't care what others
said.
"Cut." With the assistant director's somewhat angry voice, the scene fell into silence, because this kind of anger that could not be
vented was aimed at Alice.
Alice was in a good state before, but she was a little strange these two days. She often said wrong lines, and today it was even
worse. She was completely talking nonsense.
So even if Colson was here, the assistant director couldn't help but get a little angry. Looking at her, Melinda felt worried and
didn't know what was going on.
"Let's take the next scene first and let Miss Zhang have a rest," Melinda said to the assistant director. She saw the assistant
director's face darkened.
"There are only two scenes here. Both of them belong to Alice," the assistant director said. Hearing this, Melinda felt a little
embarrassed. She took a look at Colson, whose eyes were full of pity. At this time, Colson had already stepped forward and
hugged Alice to comfort her.
Everyone in the crew was silent. No one dared to speak, but everyone wanted to go back to rest early after the shooting.
"It's okay. Relax. You are always the best." Colson hugged Alice and comforted her. Alice looked at him as if he was a stranger.
She frowned with distress, as if she was thinking about who was holding her. The dazed look in her eyes made people feel sorry
for her.
Holding her waist, Melinda walked to the side of the two people. She felt something was wrong when she saw Alice behave like
this. In fact, it was not the first time that Alice had behaved like this.
In the past, everyone thought that she wanted to play this role well, but now no one would think so. Everyone could see that this
was not the pressure caused by acting, as if there was something wrong.
"Mr. Zhang, how is Miss Zhang?" Melinda asked anxiously. She was too heavy to do many things, so she had to stand aside.
Victor looked at them not far away and was a little worried about Melinda. When Alice heard the voice and saw it was Melinda,
she became more excited.
She was a little resistant to Colson's embrace just now, but now she shrank in his arms for protection. She even muttered "walk
away" to Melinda.
Although Melinda looked a little embarrassed, she still kept smiling.
"If Alice can't shoot this movie, you can change another actress," Colson said. There was something wrong with Alice. She was
immersed in the role in the play.
She thought this role was herself. Sometimes, she couldn't even figure it out herself.
When the director heard that he was going to change another actress, he was secretly glad. It could be said that he was not very
satisfied with this actress at the beginning, but he had no choice. There was a rich man behind her who could not be offended.
Then Alice's acting skill was in a good state. He breathed a sigh of relief secretly. He didn't expect that the good scene would not
last long. She always talked nonsense when filming.
If it were any other actresses, he would have asked them to change.
"I know. Mr. Zhang, don't worry. I will find a suitable actress to replace her," The director said. He felt happy. Finally, this woman
who had always been a burden to the crew was about to leave.
At first, Melinda wanted to explain something, but when she saw the expression on Colson's face and Alice's state, she finally
swallowed all these words.
"You can arrange it. The investment will be as usual," Colson said. He knew what these people cared about the most.
Although these people were not a threat to him, he didn't want them to have the chance to speak ill of Alice behind her back.
These words could be regarded as a warning. If these people were sensible, they would naturally invest. If they did something
that offended him, then they would discuss everything again.
At that time, the discussion would not be as simple as investment, and Melinda didn't even dare to think about the profit
relationship.
"You can arrange it directly." Colson knew that these people's worries were only for him, so he simply said to one of them who
could understand.
Melinda nodded and said worriedly, "Do you need me to take Miss Zhang to the hospital for a check-up?" After all, she became
like this in Melinda's own territory, and she was also worried.
"No, thanks,"
Colson said coldly and coaxed Alice away. All the people in the crew were in a daze.
"The main female supporting role are not feeling well and may not be able to act in the following. You should find a new actress
as soon as possible. Besides, I don't want to see what happened today on the news."
Melinda looked gentle, but after getting along with her for a period of time, the group of people were somewhat familiar with her.
She was just easy-going, but when it came to some points related to interests, she wouldn't flinch, especially about her TV
series.
After Colson left the crew with Alice, he couldn't help but worry. Then he asked the driver to drive the car directly to the hospital,
intending to take Alice to have a check-up.
After all, when he just saved her, she was in such a state, which made him a little worried.
Alice was still talking nonsense all the way. The doctor asked Colson to take her to the psychiatric department for examination.
Colson had a bad feeling, but he was unwilling to admit it at this time.
He felt more and more sorry for Alice, and even began to hate himself for not protecting her well and causing her to be
stimulated and hurt by the outside world.
The people in the hospital didn't dare to neglect Colson's identity. The chief doctor of the department checked Alice in person. As
the investigation went deeper, he frowned.
"Mr. Zhang, now we have a preliminary diagnosis of Miss Zhang. She is schizophrenic," said the doctor, with a touch of pity in his
tone. What a young girl! How could she get such a disease?
But it was not a serious illness. Nowadays, people were under great mental pressure. More or less, they had hidden mental
diseases, but schizophrenia was rare.
Hearing this, Colson seemed to be awakened by a blow. He finally realized why Alice was different sometimes. She was not
acting, but because of a schizophrenic.
She couldn't tell which one was her.
This kind of illness happened most in actors and actresses who were easy to immerse in the play.
"How to treat it?" Colson asked after a long silence. The man seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. The doctor couldn't bear
to see him like this.
It was said that Alice was a mistress of Colson and Alice was a tramp. But at this moment, the doctor saw through their
relationship.
It was pure love, not as disgusting as the outsiders said. He majored in psychology, so he saw it more thoroughly.
"She'd better have a good rest at home and assist with medicine. She'd better do some psychological guidance. This kind of
illness can be cured."
The doctor said that Alice was not very serious now. Fortunately, she was found in time. If she was treated properly, she could
recover.
But this was like a new person. No one could be sure that which was the real her.
"Give me the prescription," said Colson. The doctor quickly gave him the prescription. Looking at the long medicine on it, Colson
felt even more distressed.
Alice was taken home for recuperation, and Colson completely abandoned the work of the crew and asked them to find another
person, which meant that every scene related to her before would be reshuffled.
It was a big blow to the casting group. After all, it was not a random supporting role to leave, but a female main one, and the one
with a lot of scenes.
"The loss of the crew will be compensated by the Puppet entertainment company. Alice will no longer participate in this play,"
said Colson. He regretted agreeing to let Alice act in this play.
"Mr. Zhang, it doesn't matter. I'm just worried about Miss Zhang," Melinda said worriedly. The Puppet entertainment company
had invested enough in the play. The loss was nothing at all.
But now Alice had an accident, as the main person in charge of this play, Melinda was still very concerned.
"She is fine." Colson didn't want to say anything more and hung up the phone. But there was something on Melinda's mind. She
didn't stay long in the crew and asked the driver to send her to the Zhang's house.
The Zhang's house was located in a bustling area, covering a large area. Melinda got out of the car, held her waist and rang the
doorbell, but no one came to open the door.
After a long time, a man who looked like a butler came out and said apologetically to Melinda, "Mrs. Gu, our Miss needs to rest
quietly now. Our Master doesn't want to see guests. Please go back."
Colson's idea was simple. He was worried that the appearance of Melinda would irritate Alice.
Melinda didn't expect this and felt a little disappointed. She went back home and told Jonas about it.
