Bai Qianmo leaned back in her chair, her straight legs slumped together lazily, looking somewhat nonchalant.
He unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip of water, and instead of getting angry, laughed: "These bastards are trying to trick me. Let them be smug for a while!"
Xia Wei frowned, looking at Bai Qianmo with a puzzled expression. She didn't understand basketball, so she couldn't see the intense competition that had just taken place on the court.
Bai Qianmo chuckled lightly, raising her eyebrows slightly, displaying a carefree and unrestrained youthful demeanor: "Just wait and see how brother turns the tables!"
Five minutes are up
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Miao decided not to use a stunt double.
According to the previously filmed scene, Boyu High School got the first ball and started to attack the opponent quickly. The basketball was passed to Yu Zhehan, and the next step was to pass it to Bai Qianmo.
This time, when Yu Zhehan ran over, a player from Boyu High School rushed behind Bai Qianmo, raising his hands high, seemingly to screen for Bai Qianmo, but actually to catch the ball thrown by Yu Zhehan.
Seeing that the opponent was in position, Yu Zhehan held the ball with both hands and prepared to throw it out.
If nothing unexpected happens, what appears to be a throw to Bai Qianmo will actually be caught by one of her teammates behind her.
To onlookers, it looked like Bai Qianmo had lost another goal.
She couldn't catch the ball Yu Zhehan handed her, so she was the one who got scolded.
Just as Yu Zhehan was about to throw the ball, a figure rushed towards him. A sudden, burning pain shot through his wrist, and the ball vanished from his hand in an instant.
Startled, Yu Zhehan came to his senses and saw Bai Qianmo skillfully dribbling the ball, quickly breaking through the encirclement.
Seeing this, the opposing players tried their best to intercept, but the basketball and the person seemed to be connected as one. No matter how aggressively the opponents attacked, Bai Qianmo could dodge with ease.
As Bai Qianmo tossed the ball to Gu Hongxun after driving into the opponent's basket, Gu Hongxun was still reeling from the recent turn of events.
The basketball slammed into his chest, bounced several meters, and rolled off the court.
"Cut! Hongxun, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Hongxun remained silent, feeling extremely annoyed!
He was so shocked he forgot to catch the ball? How could he make such a basic mistake?
Zhao Miao's heart was also in turmoil. Not preparing a stunt double for Bai Qianmo in today's competition was actually a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for her, since she had offended the female lead.
On the surface, Zhao Miao still offered a fair compliment: "Qianmo, you did a good job this time. Everyone, get ready, let's start the reshoot from when Bai Qianmo throws the basketball to Gu Hongxun."
"Action!!"
The basketball returned to Bai Qianmo's hands. She launched a quick attack, then jumped and tossed the ball to Gu Hongxun with both hands.
After being reprimanded earlier, Gu Hongxun gritted his teeth and stared intently at the ball in Bai Qianmo's hand.
When Bai Qianmo threw the ball, he immediately reached out to catch it. However, when he caught the ball with both hands, Gu Hongxun's expression changed visibly, and his entire body was violently shaken back several steps.
If it weren't for his quick reflexes, he would have fallen to the ground long ago!
The room suddenly fell silent.
"Cut! Hongxun, are you feeling unwell?"
Zhao Miao asked coldly, "You can even take several steps back just to catch a ball. It's not good to be so weak at such a young age!"
Gu Hongxun was covered in sweat and looked at Bai Qianmo with a shocked expression.
Why did she throw the ball with such force?
"Retake!"
Gu Hongxun caught the ball and was knocked back several steps again. Zhao Miao finally got angry, slammed the walkie-talkie in his hand on the table, and stormed towards the basketball court.
"Gu Hongxun, what's wrong with you? You're the male lead, today is your day, and you're making such a mess of catching the ball, how are you going to continue acting like this!"
"Everyone, get ready, let's do it again!"
Feeling that everyone in the room was staring at him, Gu Hongxun's face burned red, but he had nowhere to vent his grievances!
If it were said that Bai Qianmo's throw was too powerful, he would only be ridiculed even more: he couldn't even catch a woman's ball!
Yu Zhehan was dumbfounded. Taking advantage of the moment when the director was talking to the lighting technician, he ran to Gu Hongxun's side.
"Dude, we planned to embarrass Bai Qianmo, why are you making things difficult for yourself!"
Gu Hongxun clutched his chest, which ached from being hit, and gave Yu Zhehan a cold, sidelong glance: "Shut the hell up!"
If he hadn't listened to this kid, how could he have made such a fool of himself?
Looking towards the audience, Gu Hongxun saw Bai Xiruo looking at him with concern, and his face darkened even more.
That's so incredibly shameful, it's embarrassing enough to be on Mars.
Did Bai Qianmo, that damned woman, grow up eating super pills?
After Gu Hongxun's Nth NG (no good) attempt, Bai Qianmo finally let him off the hook and threw a ball normally. Gu Hongxun caught the ball steadily and trembled with excitement. With a cool spike, the first scene was finally filmed.
"OK, that's a good take. Actors, take a short break. We'll start filming the second scene in ten minutes!"
Gu Hongxun looked drenched in sweat, but only he knew that he was sweating profusely from being frightened.
The assistant immediately brought over a glass of water. Gu Hongxun tilted his head back and gulped down several mouthfuls of water. He then squeezed the mineral water bottle so hard that it deformed, and the veins on his arm bulged. He then smashed the bottle onto the ground.
Bai Qianmo returned to her seat and felt a pair of piercing, eagle-like eyes staring intently at her. She merely glanced at the person indifferently before lowering her head to read the script as if nothing had happened.
Gu Hongxun was panting heavily, glaring at her fiercely. Seeing that she didn't take him seriously at all, he felt a dull pain in his chest.
Later, he'll definitely show Bai Qianmo his true strength on the field!
