Chapter 445: Wire Dance

The veteran looked at Xia Mei and Song Xin. He smiled. “Actually, that is not a fair comparison. Mo Li isn’t even a professional actor. Plus she is still young. Who knows what height she might reach in the future. But when Song Xin debuted, she was already a trained actor. Plus, Song Xin was tutored by the legendary Penelope van Cruft. It’d be impossible if she doesn’t reach the state she enjoys today.”

The veteran actor knew what he was talking about. If one was studying the history of foreign filmography, one had to know the name of Penelope van Cruft. She had left an indelible mark in the history of foreign films. Even Song Xin was nothing compared to her.

Song Xin was Penelope’s only understudy. Song Xin was a professional actor and she had worked hard for her success.

Song Xin was annoyed. In her mind, Mo Li did not even deserve to be compared to her. She was offended that the old fart actually said Mo Li was cleverer than her. That was not possible. Song Xin swore that she would make everyone there know she was much better than Mo Li. However, on the surface, she maintained a smiling face as she continued to chat with everyone.

An Wan was also full of praise for Mo Li. Song Xin smiled along but when An Wan met Song Xin’s eyes, it was like An Wan could see into her soul. Song Xin found it harder to maintain the smile on her face.

Song Xin turned away to look at Mo Li. The latter was changing her clothes. Song Xin sneaked a glance at Xia Mei. Xia Mei nodded as her lips curled into a cold smile. Xia Mei had been given her mission. Let them see how I’ll deal with this bitch!

There were 2 reasons why Song Xin and Xia Mei had come to the set for the Witch of Sun and Moon. First, they wanted to come to see Mo Li in action. Second, they wanted to know why Mo Xiao had chosen Mo Li over Song Xin.

Since Mo Xiao had chosen Mo Li to play the lead in this new drama, it meant that Mo Li had been approved by Mo Xiao’s teacher… However, to Song Xin’s knowledge, Mo Xiao’s teacher had only approved of Penelope van Cruft. Therefore, Song Xin wanted to come to see for herself how great Mo Li was. Of course, that was just one of her goals that day…

Song Xin smiled faintly as she chatted with everyone. Her eyes wandered over to Mo Li who was placed into the wire harness.

Well, at least this is not a wasted trip. Thankfully, Xia Mei has a history with the martial artist director on set.

Nie Li was surprised that Song Xin did not come for Mo Li. It was confusing. It appeared like she only came to see Mo Li’s performance. After all, Mo Li had taken the resources Song Xin believed she deserved. Since she didn’t trouble Mo Li, then Nie Li decided to let her be.

Nie Li glanced at her phone. I’ve already sent out the pictures of Mo Li in her costume, why haven’t I heard anything from that brat yet?

Once Song Xin returned to China, she was instantly surrounded by rumors. Someone on set asked, “Sister Song Xin, are you and Young Master Tang going to get back together?”

Song Xin didn’t get mad. Instead, she smiled and chided, “Are you an actor or a paparazzi?” Song Xin’s reaction was quite interesting. She didn’t directly deny or admit it. Instead, she lowered her head with shyness.

An Wan was getting disgusted by Song Xin’s performance. She turned to study her schedule. The filming for Witch of Sun and Moon will take up most of my time. After that, there will be show appearances, interviews, posters shooting and promotional events… Will I still have time for Diu Diu?

Meanwhile, Mo Li was put into the wire harness. When she worked with Ji Yan in the other movie, she felt quite at ease but now she was strangely nervous.

Seeing her nerves, Director Peng rubbed her head and said, “Don’t worry. We have a very experienced martial arts director. He will not put you in danger. Plus the drums are very sturdy, they can withstand four times your weight.”

Zhuo Ran looked at Mo Li with a smile. “I started as a stunt double! Princess consort, don’t worry, I’ll do my best to protect you!”

Everyone laughed. Zhou Ran added, “It’s not that hard to dance on the wire. If anything, I personally find it quite enjoyable! Plus it’ll look so pretty on camera!”

Director Peng normally didn’t use a stunt double, but due to the danger level, he allowed Mo Li to use one. However, since the dance was choreographed especially for Mo Li, she didn’t want to disappoint. She would do the wire dance in person.

“Alright, everyone, get ready! Mo Li, are you ready?”

Mo Li nodded. She looked at the drums around her. She was supposed to leap from one drum to another with the aid of the wire. The scene was challenging, but completing it would be so rewarding.

Mo Li would do the scene with Zhuo Ran. Zhuo Ran gave her a lot of confidence.

The martial arts director pulled them over to give them more advice.
