Chapter 363: Prank Show
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The director watched as Fang Mo’er personally went up to the hanging wire and could not help but say, “Miss Fang, you don’t have to do this kind of fighting scene yourself. We’ll just need you to reshoot the scene for close-ups. The sword has no eyes.”
This was because the Hua Mulan that Fang Mo’er was playing was a female warrior with exceptional martial arts skills. She needed to be able to fight while riding on a horse. There would be a shot where she have to fly down from her warhorse. It would be a test of the fluidity of her movements.
Hence, the director had planned for the stunt double who had several years of martial arts skills to be involved in this scene. She had not expected Fang Mo’er to want to take part in it personally.
Mu Bei walked over to stand beside the director and asked in confusion, “She wants to take part in this scene personally?”
The stunt double was standing at the side, doing nothing, He rubbed his chin and said disapprovingly, “Even a normal man might not be able to perform this scene well. Furthermore, at the point where she has to dismount, she will have to bend her body in the air to catch the incoming spear. A woman
wont be able to do that well.”
!!
The director did not have much hope. She frowned, hoping that Fang Mo’er would try it once and then let the stunt double take over instead.
‘Mu Bei was looking at Fang Mo’er, who was already on the horse, in confusion. He could not help but feel contempt for her. He felt as if he was seeing the same arrogant att.i.tude that he had when he had first debuted.
“Start shooting!” The director ordered.
Fang Mo’er began to gallop on the horse as she fought with the other enemies who were charging towards her.
‘Mu Bei and the director were stunned by Fang Mo’er’s smooth movements. When Fang Mo’er flew down from her horse and successfully intercepted the sneak attack from the enemies behind her, both of them stood up from their chairs with their eyes wide open.
They could not help but want to applaud Fang Mo’er.
‘Mu Bei was even more impressed. At the same time, he had also overturned his perception of Fang Mo’er. He had thought that standing at this height, Fang Mo’er would be proud and arrogant. He thought that she would not be willing to bow down to power the way he had been back then. She would then
end up offending the wrong people and end up killing her own career as a star.
Unexpectedly, she was neither proud nor arrogant but was actually just confident in herself.
It seemed that he was the only one who had overestimated himself.
After Fang Mo’er finished filming, she rushed over to check the scene.
‘As she was watching it seriously, a man’s deep voice came from beside her, “Miss Fang, I have something to tell you.”
Fang Mo’er raised her head, her eyes encountering the complicated look in Mu Bei’s eyes. Mu Bei blinked and looked away before turning around to leave.
Fang Mo’er was stunned for a moment before she followed him.
When they reached the dressing room, Mu Bei’s a.s.sistant saw Fang Mo’er enter and immediately nodded at her. He rubbed his nose and closed the door behind him.
‘Mu Bei knew that Fang Mo’er would definitely refuse him, but he still gritted his teeth and brought up this rude request, “The show “This Is Too Funny” wants to invite the two of us to appear on their variety show. Of course, with your status, there’s no need for you to appear on such a show…”
“This Is Too Funny?” Fang Mo’er finally understood why Mu Bei had such a strange expression on his face. She knew about this variety show. What’s more, she also knew that the host of this variety show was Li Li.
Ever since the Spring Festival Gala, Li Li had taken over hosting this variety show. She had invited Fang Mo’er to partic.i.p.ate in this variety show several times, but Fang Mo’er had rejected her outright.
However, the other party had been persistent.
According to her manager, although this variety show was very popular, the image of the actors partic.i.p.ating in this variety show would be maliciously tarnished.
It was tantamount to tarnishing one’s own reputation just to gain popularity.
Many C-list celebrities only wanted to gain popularity. So they didn’t care if they were humiliated or not. After all, good or bad publicity was still publicity.
However, with Fang Mo’er’s current popularity… it was not necessary.
‘Mu Bei had initially thought that Fang Mo’er would refuse him outright. He had not expected her to look at him calmly and ask such a question.
“So, your company only wants you to accept this job? They don’t want you to do anything else, do they?”
‘Mu Bei felt uncomfortable beneath Fang Mo’er’s gaze. His heart felt as though it had been punched. Finally, he lowered his head and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I didn’t tell you the truth earlier. Even if it’s a promotional event for the production team, I might not be able to do it.”
Fang Mo’er nodded her head in understanding.
“Alright, I’ll do this variety show then.”
‘Mu Beis pupils shrank when he heard that. He raised his head and looked at Fang Mo’er in shock. “What did you say?”
Fang Mo’er smiled, “However, I have a condition..”
