Chapter 446: The Other Main Character
Director Peng told Mo Li she did not need to dance so professionally, but her movements had to be elegant and graceful.
No wonder Nie Li insisted on me to go learn how to dance. The lesson will come in handy now. Mo Li had the basics of dance down thanks to her lessons. The martial arts director told her to perform the dance on the ground first. Mo Li obliged. Her movements were graceful and precise. The director clapped for Mo Li. He told her that she only needed to replicate everything she did on the air and it would be perfect.
Mo Li sighed. Is he serious? Dancing in the air and dancing on the firm ground are two completely different things.
Zhuo Ran took the scene first. When she lifted off into the air and twirled, it was beautiful. Because Zhuo Ran was Princess of the Moon, her costume was intricate and ethereal. She had a lot of accessories and that added to her overall weight.
Mo Li was impressed especially when Zhuo Ran did a split in the air. Mo Li stared at Zhuo Ran in shock. This is the difference between a professional dancer and an amateur.
Zhuo Ran finished her sequence and it was about time for her to stop. However, the girl appeared to have gotten addicted to the sensation of flying. She leaped over the drums and giggled happily. This made Director Peng rather speechless. “Girl, have you lost your mind? If you are that happy up there, I’ll hang you up there for the rest of your life! Follow the dance sequence on the script or I’ll kick you out!”
Zhuo Ran stuck her tongue out at Director Peng. Director Peng sighed and took a deep breath. “How about I have the guys release their grip on the wire and have you fall to the ground instead?”
“Ol’ Peng, who are you scolding this time? I could hear you even outside the door. The brat, Mo Xiao still has something else to do so he told me to come in his place. I didn’t expect to walk into you screaming.” Tang Ze’s voice rang out.
Director Peng had ordered his men to close the door and chase the reporters away so that he could work in peace. However, with Tang Ze’s arrival, the door opened again and the flashes of cameras returned. The set was swamped in a sea of light. Tang Ze closed the door and waved at the reporters. “Hurry up and leave. Don’t disturb the filming.”
Director Peng’s expression dropped when he heard the man’s voice. What is this? One is the movie’s producer and the other is his rumored ex-girlfriend. What have I done to deserve this…
Tang Ze didn’t seem to notice the subtle change in the atmosphere. “Ol’ Peng, since when did you allow so many reporters on your set? When did you change so much?”
The moment he asked that question, Tang Ze saw Song Xin. His smile disappeared and he cursed. “d.a.m.n it, how can I be so unlucky today?” Tang Ze could only hope that Mo Xiao would arrive soon so he could leave.
Once Tang Ze arrived, the people gathered closer. Normally, people would have lined up to greet him but now everyone just wanted to know if Tang Ze had purposely come to the set because he knew Song Xin was here.
Tang Ze’s face darkened, warning people off.
In any case, the crew was generally happy because the arrival of both Tang Ze and Song Xin meant that Witch of Sun and Moon was definitely going to get on the news.
Song Xin stood up to greet Tang Ze. Tang Ze merely glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. His eyes were cold.
Tang Ze didn’t take her outstretched hand. Song Xin took a deep breath. “I came to visit Director Peng because I didn’t see him for a long time already. I didn’t expect to run into you here.”
“I see. And here I thought you are here to steal a role. But you’re right that it has been a long time. You’ve aged quite a bit. Come, smile for me and let me see if there are crow’s feet on your face. I can introduce you to a good plastic surgeon.” Then Tang Ze really leaned in to examine Song Xin’s face. Song Xin was angry and her eyes burned but she couldn’t do anything.
Tang Ze was known to be ruthless and brutish, but Song Xin had established herself as a G.o.ddess. Therefore, even after being publicly insulted, she had to maintain her composure. This was a compet.i.tion to see if Tang Ze’s words were strong enough to pierce through Song Xin’s fake facade.
Some of Song Xin’s fans thought Tang Ze had gone too far. Song Xin had not done anything, but he insulted the G.o.ddess.
However, there were others who sided with Tang Ze. Most of the men did. After all, how could one expect Tang Ze to be nice to the woman who cheated on him?
Song Xin took a deep breath and she returned to her usual smiling self. She maintained her ladylike appearance.
“If I remember correctly, you are older than I am. How old can I be when you look so young?” Song Xin was not easily fazed. She righted herself and fired back.
