BXBX NOVEL Chapter 74
Chapter 74: Was Just Pretending to Be Flustered
After the interview, Mu Ye told Bai Rong not to work too hard and quickly found an excuse to leave.
It could be considered as having completed his work for the day.
Bai Rong had no one to rely on, so she was naturally not in a good mood.
In the afternoon, while filming was going on, a big guy came to the set.
Fang Mo’er was putting on her makeup when she heard a commotion outside and quickly went out to see what was going on.
She saw that everyone was watching a tiger being led by a beast tamer.
The tiger looked well-trained and was as obedient as a tiger in a circus. It did not try to bite anyone and the beast tamer commanded it to sit there obediently, allowing others to watch.
Fang Mo’er even touched the tiger’s fur and only then did she hear that it was because the script had been modified.
In the first scene of the plot, the male and female lead would meet when the female lead accidentally entered the backyard of the male lead. In the end, she would be chased by the tiger and almost bitten by it. Fortunately, the male lead would manage to save her in time just at the critical moment.
Little Tian said, “This is a tiger that the film crew went through a lot of trouble to hire. It only has three days of filming time. After these three days, this beast tamer will take the tiger to another country to participate in another performance.”
Three days should be more than enough time, Fang Mo’er thought to herself.
Meanwhile, Bai Rong was not far away, looking at Fang Mo’er coldly.
Her assistant said, “Sister Bai, you managed to find a way to intentionally add such a scene. When Fang Mo’er is chased by the tiger, she will definitely be terrified. How will she still be able to remember to act? She will definitely become a big joke for the production team!”
Bai Rong also pursed her lips and smiled, “Tell her to overestimate herself and then just wait for her to make a fool of herself.”
Although the tiger looked docile now, who knew whether it might really bite Fang Mo’er when it chased after her later?
After all, animals also had the instinct to hunt.
Once everything was ready, Fang Mo’er walked onto the set of the male lead’s backyard.
She kept moving forward, not knowing that the tiger was sleeping soundly behind the rockery not far away.
It was not until Fang Mo’er accidentally stepped on a fallen tree branch that the tiger opened its eyes and slowly straightened its body. It bent down like it was hunting and walked forward.
Fang Mo’er’s pupils suddenly contracted as she encountered the tiger.
The beast tamer had repeatedly said that the tiger would only follow his orders and would not really bite anyone.
However, now that she suddenly saw the tiger coming out from the bushes, her survival instinct still made her wary.
Suddenly, the tiger rushed towards Fang Mo’er and she ran away.
Just as she was about to dodge it, Fang Mo’er slipped and paused for a moment. She almost fell but managed to avoid it instead.
Fang Mo’er ran away with an uneasy expression on her face.
Bai Rong, who was watching the show, couldn’t stop laughing. Seeing Fang Mo’er in such a sorry state and with the fear in her eyes, she felt relieved.
Little did she know was that Fang Mo’er was only acting.
In fact, she was very calm.
She ran towards the male lead.
Soon, Lang Qi appeared and shouted loudly.
The tiger had been instructed by the beast tamer, so as expected, it stopped where it was. It circled around and did not come back.
Lang Qi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, he was actually very afraid of this tiger.
After seeing that the tiger was really obedient, he dared to continue his performance. “Why did you come to my courtyard? If I had not appeared, it would have really bitten you to death.”
The male lead gave the female lead a fierce look.
Finally, he slowly walked towards the tiger.
According to the script, Lang Qi was to stretch out his hand and caress the tiger’s fur to calm it down.
After that, the tiger would return to the place where it had been sleeping.
However, with every step closer that Lang Qi took to the tiger, his heart would tremble.
He was simply unable to show that calm and composed appearance that was required.
“Cut!” Director Wang immediately shouted, “Lang Qi, you can’t keep staring at the tiger. You have to relax a little!”
Due to Lang Qi’s mistake, Fang Mo’er had to do it all over again.
The first scene used a single shot from start to finish.
Once again, Fang Mo’er fled when the tiger pounced.
Nearby, Bai Rong and her assistant were hugging their shoulders. All that was left was to watch the show as they munched on melon seeds.
The assistant said, “Sister Bai, look at how Fang Mo’er is pissing her pants. It’s so funny! I think she will have a nightmare tonight!”
However, Bai Rong could not smile anymore.
Because this time, Fang Mo’er’s movements were exactly the same as before. The timing seemed to have been calculated. Just as the tiger was about to catch up to her, she would continue to escape.
It was as if she was deliberately trying to maintain her nervousness.
“That’s not right. She’s just pretending to be nervous!” Bai Rong gritted her teeth and stared at Fang Mo’er.
This time, she was even more certain that Fang Mo’er was indeed pretending. Each look of worry and caution in her eyes was exactly the same as before. Even her movements had not changed.
