Director Liu, with a smile, saw off Ming Li. He tucked the black card into his pocket and turned to the middle-aged man who was still standing in place. "Since President He wants to arrange for someone to join the crew, and we happen to need a replacement for our third female lead, let that young lady play the role. As for the investment, forget it. As you saw, we're not short on money."
The system, which stayed to watch the excitement: This director is so awesome!! It's different when you have money!! Sigh! When will its host be able to spoil it like this??
Mu Shi Qi, who was lurking: Perhaps before you're scrapped and rebuilt…
At this moment, in the prop room.
Two figures were sneakily doing something to the props.
One person, wearing a baseball cap and mask, said to the other next to them, "Hurry up! Where are the scissors I asked you to get? Cut that rope over there! Quickly!"
The other figure, flustered, said, "Sister Shangguan, perhaps we should just give up! What if this rope really breaks later…"
"What are you afraid of? I just want to scare that woman Wen Ming Li! Who told her to be so arrogant! Hmph!!"
These two were Shangguan Qing and her assistant, Xiao Yu. They were currently cutting a slit into the wire harness that Ming Li would be using shortly.
And no one knew about any of this.
Meanwhile, Ming Li went to the dressing room. After changing into the costume for the scene, she headed to the makeup room.
It was already half an hour later by the time Ming Li finished her makeup.
Clad in white, spotless and pure.
Three thousand strands of black hair cascaded down.
Three light red peach blossom patterns on her forehead were lifelike, making Ming Li appear even more aloof, noble, and peerlessly elegant.
Director Liu, who was discussing the plot with someone, caught sight of Ming Li's freshly finished appearance. The loudspeaker in his hand almost slipped and fell to the ground.
Ming Li looked at the stunned Director Liu and said in a calm tone, "I'm ready. When do we start filming?"
Director Liu snapped back to attention and quickly said, "We'll start immediately! Go get your wire harness attached first. Today we're filming the scene where the male lead breaks into prison!" After speaking, Director Liu turned and called for someone to help Ming Li with her harness.
Once the preparations were done, Director Liu shouted into the loudspeaker, "Three, two, one, action!"
A group of people dressed as soldiers rushed forward, carrying swords.
The wire harness slowly ascended, and Ming Li, holding a sword, leaped into the air, engaging in a fight with them…
Ming Li swung her sword back and forth with boredom: "…This kind of small-scale skirmish is really boring. Will anyone even watch this when it's filmed like this?"
Two minutes later.
Ming Li frowned and glanced at the wire harness behind her. She saw that the rope had been cut with a slit, and it was now visibly breaking apart.
Ming Li lowered her gaze and looked down.
Tsk, tsk, tsk! Playing this big? At this height, if she were to fall unprepared, she'd be dead or severely injured and paralyzed. It was uncertain if she'd ever be able to stand again, let alone act.
Alas! Why do some people always insist on coming to their own demise?
After lamenting expressionlessly, Ming Li fully immersed herself in her scene, completely disregarding the breaking wire harness behind her.
Shangguan Qing, standing under a parasol, looked up at the slender figure in the air, her movements light and graceful. A smile slowly curved her lips, revealing a look of triumph.
Hmph! Wen Ming Li, let's see how much longer you can be so arrogant!
