Chapter 107 The Substitute



As Li Mu was pondering this, he heard Jiangsu speak.

If it weren't for the good script, I really would have wanted to terminate my contract. The male and female leads are actually Ling Hao and your sister Mi Xi.

What? Li Mu was speechless.

Don't blame me, I didn't dare tell you because I was afraid you wouldn't come.

You should have said so sooner. If you had, I would have arrived much sooner. They're full of bad intentions, and I wouldn't have trusted you to deal with both of them alone.

Xiaoxiao, you're so kind, sob sob. Jiangsu is so touched.

Not long after, Jiangsu was called to film, and Li Mu was forcibly dragged over by Jiangsu.

As soon as Li Mu arrived at the filming location, he saw familiar figures. Li Mu had been reminded by Jiangsu earlier and was already prepared, but he still couldn't help but frown when he saw the two of them.

Jiangsu followed Li Mu's gaze and looked over.

Xiaoxiao, look at them! So many people are still being all lovey-dovey together. It gives me goosebumps. Just looking at them makes me annoy everyone else.

Hey, Xiaoxiao, what do you think these two are doing here?

This production crew is up to something! Can just anyone become an actor?

Ling Hao, a scoundrel, has become an actor? Why can't he just stick to being the second-generation rich kid of the Ling family?

The director walked over.

Jiang Yinghou, have you read the script? Today we're filming a scene where you, as the mistress, force the male lead to divorce his wife and be with you. The male lead tells you it's impossible, it's impossible for this lifetime, and then you have to fall from the third floor.

What? What? Jumping from the third floor? Director, are you crazy?

"Don't worry, there's a mat underneath," the director explained somewhat awkwardly.

Didn't the director ever think of finding a stand-in for Jiangsu?

The director glanced at Li Mu. Although he didn't recognize him, he could tell from his demeanor and clothing that Li Mu was someone of status, and the director didn't want to offend him.

So he honestly replied that he originally had a stand-in, but the stand-in suddenly disappeared a few minutes before they arrived.

"Director, how about you be one of my stunt doubles for Su Su? I know some kung fu," Li Mu said to the director after thinking for a moment.

Really? That's great! Then come down with our staff to get your makeup done.

Jiangsu reluctantly walked up to Ling Hao.

"I'm truly honored to have Jiang Yinghou," Ling Hao said casually.

"Young Master Ling, let me confirm if you've memorized your lines?" the director asked politely.

What a load of rubbish! Can't they train their players later on?

The voice acting for Young Master Ling was not good in the later stages.

If there are any problems, this is the decision; we'll do the voice-over later.

Young Master Ling, how about this? Would it be alright if you brought a teleprompter?

Ling Hao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, okay."

The director breathed a sigh of relief and instructed a staff member to bring over a miniature teleprompter.

The staff quickly took it and put it on Ling Hao.

After changing her clothes, Li Mu walked over led by the staff. The director nodded in satisfaction upon seeing her.

"Li Mu, what are you doing here?" Ling Hao asked, looking Li Mu up and down.

Li Mu? Mi Xi ran over when she heard Li Mu's name.

"Sister? What are you doing here? Did you come to see Sister Jiangsu filming?" Mi Xi asked, feigning intimacy.

Li Mu ignored the two people and asked the director.

Director, what do I need to do?

"You all know each other? Are you Miss Mi Xi's older sister?" the director asked.

I'm not familiar with them, director, please tell me quickly, they probably didn't do it.

This scene is under an abandoned building. There are mats, sand piles, and a safety device. Don't worry, safety is guaranteed.

After Jiang Yinghou finishes reading her lines, you can come up and jump down directly, right?

Li Mu nodded.

Xiaoxiao, are you really sure you can do it? Jiangsu is still a little worried.

Yeah, it's fine. It's not high, and the protective measures are very good. No problem.

Mi Xi and Ling Hao exchanged a glance, as if they had reached some kind of consensus.

Li Mu saw it, but he didn't care.

Filming has officially begun.

Don't come any closer, or I'll jump.

Honey, you have to believe me, I will divorce him, and I will definitely marry you.

I won't listen. Don't come over. Don't divorce him. It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you fall in love with me, and I shouldn't have fallen in love with you either. Let's let each other go.

If we get married, he won't let me go.

No, I don't want to, I can't lose you.

Jiangsu turned around and revealed a triumphant smile, then jumped up and down on the spot.

Click, all right, stunt double in position.

Li Mu stood at the Jiangsu station.

At the director's command of "Action," Li Mu leaped off the cliff.

Li Mu had excellent eyesight. He saw many nails in the sand pile. Li Mu turned his body to avoid the nails and used his hands to cushion his fall on the sand pile.

Okay, click, Jiang Yinghou is in position.

Li Mu got up, while Jiangsu lay on his side on the sand pile and continued filming.

Li Mu returned to the dressing room in Jiangsu, picked up the Jiangsu notebook, and came out again, returning to the filming location.

Li Mu found a quiet spot, turned on his computer, and his fingers flew across the keyboard. After pressing the last key, Li Mu gave a cold smile.

In the video, a woman walks across a sand dune, and with a seemingly unintentional swing of her hand, she throws a handful of nails onto the sand.

Li Mu took the computer and found the director.

The director will show you a video.

The director, puzzled, turned his gaze to the computer screen.

A few minutes later, the director broke out in a cold sweat.

They summoned a staff member, whispered something in his ear, and the staff member nodded and left.

A short while later, the staff member came over with a woman.

That was the woman in the video. When she saw Li Mu, she instinctively shrank back, feeling a little guilty, and approached Li Mu step by step.

"Director, you wanted to see me?" the woman asked cautiously.

Did you scatter the nails on the sand pile? Why did you do that?

The woman was trembling with fear. Upon hearing the word "nail," she fell to the ground in terror, muttering to herself.

I didn't want to, I didn't want to. My father was hospitalized and needed money, so I did it. Someone offered me money, saying I could get 30,000 yuan if I just scattered nails on the sand. I was bewitched. Director, please forgive me and give me another chance.

Just because your father is a human being doesn't mean everyone else is.

To do such a heinous thing for money.

Li Mu looked at the director speechlessly; this director really didn't know how to speak.

He then looked at the woman lying on the ground.

Why should your actions be forgiven? If I kill you, say sorry, and everything is fine?

Since you've already done it, don't regret it. I've already called the police. If you have any questions or grievances, go tell the police.

Hearing this, the woman was no longer afraid. She stood up and looked at Li Mu with a face full of anger. Why won't you let me go? Can't you rich people be a little more tolerant?

My father is seriously ill, and I need money to treat him. What's wrong with that? Why are you treating me like this? Why are you so unreasonable? You're fine now, aren't you?
