Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 362

Nell returned to the shoot the next day.

She had recently accepted a role in a historical drama, revolving around martial arts chivalry. It was not all the rage at present but Nell took a liking after reading the script. She said yes even though it was only a minor role.

Today just happened to be a fighting scene between her and a supporting actor.

For the sake of realism on the set, the director did not choose to shoot indoors and photoshop the background later on. Instead, he opted to shoot on an actual site.

The site selected by the crew was on a famous mountain in the suburbs.

This mountain was well known for a national famous Taoist temple. It had a beautiful scenery on the mountain with its lush greens. It was a great feeling, in body and mind, standing on top of the mountain on a bright sunny day.

Prior to the shoot, the crew had cleared the site in advance and set up the cameras. Nell had a change of wardrobe and walked over to get into the harness.

This scene was set on one of the cliffs.

The supporting role Nell played was a singsong girl who made a living as a performer in a pleasure house but in truth, she was an assassin from a neighboring country.

For the survival of her motherland, she had assassinated the crown prince.

Discovering her identity, the male supporting actor hunted her down to a cliff.

Here, the second supporting actress and supporting actor dueled to death. In the end, the heavily-wounded actress succumbed to the pursuit of the actor and his men, and fell off the cliff to her death.

This character’s role was set to be rather aloof and taciturn. It fitted Nell’s disposition just right.

With the harness put on and positions ready, the director cried, “Action!”

Nell’s eyes turned cold.

With a hand over the wound on her chest and lips tainted in a blood trail, she held her sword and retreated to the edge of the cliff.

The male role, played by Zachary Lewis, said in a gruff voice, “You have no way to run. Just give it up!”

Nell slowly curled her lips.

That smile was distant yet decisive.

“No, I still have one way out!”

With that, she let go of the hand from her chest and held the hilt, erecting the sword.

Color drained from the complexions of the pursuing men.

With a sullen face, Zachary rasped. “You work your fingers to the bone for your motherland in hopes of wealth and honor. You’ve reached the end of the road. I’ve begged the minister to spare your life so why do you still put up resistance?”

Nell scoffed.

The indifferent and exquisite face was unmoved.

“There’s no fear for death when it’s laying down my life for my motherland!”

Holding the sword, she pranced toward Zachary.

The swing of the harness signified the start of a battle.

Under the guidance of a martial arts guru, Nell had already gone through the moves with Zachary beforehand. Hence, the duo was able to interchange maneuvers in a rather fascinating and beautiful way.

At the end of the scene, Zachary would slam a fist on Nell’s left shoulder, prompting her to spew blood and fall off the cliff.

Of course, she was not going to fall off the cliff. The camera would see her disappear under the cliff when in fact, she would be hanging on the harness. She would be pulled back up after the shoot of this scene ended.

However, something went wrong!

Nell had made preparation to fall back from the cliff as a response to the force of the actor’s palm.

Nevertheless, her feet had just left the ground when she heard a snap.

Before she could react to it, Nell felt that her center of gravity had shifted. The left rope of the harness had snapped in half.

Nell turned pale out of fright.
