Chapter 236 - The Final Dance Sequence (1)

Xie Yuansheng drove the car out of the garage and banged it into the wall. That was the car's first dent. After that, even though he felt that he was driving in the best possible way, without any traffic violations, very slowly and straight, by the time his car reached Xie Shengjun's home, it was dented beyond repair. He stumbled his way out and all he knew was to go to the room where Feng Xinying was sleeping. The guards couldn't stop him from going inside.

Feng Xinying just bit her lower lip and didn't say anything. All she wanted now was to concentrate on her dance for the movie. So she went to her room where the makeup artist was standing. An hour later when she emerged out of the room, everyone in the set gasped. She looked like an angel who had descended on the earth. When she walked into the sets, Wu Bosun looked at her. He was already sitting in his position. He was once again mesmerized by her looks. All the junior actresses and actors who had to dance with her surrounded her to flatter her looks. When Lu Dao saw her, he was very happy that he chose her. He decided that one of the dance scenes had to be the poster scene for the movie. 

Feng Xinying was wearing a golden robe instead of a white one over the red dress. Even her hair had golden feathers in them. 

The technicians became busy with checking all the ropes and pulleys that were to be used in the sequence for seamless integration of every step. Soon it was time for the dance to begin. Feng Xinying looked around for a familiar face who had promised that he would be there, but was very disappointed when she didn't see him. 

Wu Bosun noticed her sadness. He went to her and said with a smile, "You are looking like a golden flower Feng Xinying. I hate to see when this flower droops, so please keep smiling." 

Feng Xinying looked up at him and smiled as she blushed slightly. Suddenly, Wu Bosun cracked a joke and everyone started laughing including Feng Xinying. Her mood lifted and she looked forward to the dance. 

The director Lu Dao announced on the speaker that everybody should take their positions. All the artists and junior actors walked to their positions. Lu Dao had called many professional cameramen and people who would make a poster for the movie in order to capture the best scene. 

When everyone took their positions, Lu Dao announced, "Music… Action!" As soon as the music started, Feng Xinying was lifted in the air. She bent her body backwards and her hands behind her head. Her golden robe was flying softly because of the fan that was blowing air. Beneath her golden robe was the red dress. Overall she looked like a golden fairy above all the mortals below her. 

As soon as she recognized the beats, Feng Xinying turned in the air and moved her legs in a way as though she was walking in the air. The technicians were synchronizing all her moves. After two minutes, they threw the second rope towards her, which she caught deftly and hooked herself to it.

During the time of the change of ropes, Lu Dao asked the cameraman to capture the expressions of the King and the King's concubine. 

As soon as Feng Xinying was ready, the cameraman again focused on her. Feng Xinying danced in the air for the next two minutes as she created some momentum and with the help of the ropes she started moving in circles over the artists. She stopped when she reached the center. This time the third rope was thrown in her direction. 

The cameraman moved his camera away and shot the scene of king's concubine who wanted to come and disrupt the dance but was stopped by the king. She sat back with a scrunched face. 

The camera was now focused back on Feng Xinying after she attached the hook of the rope perfectly. She twirled in the air and then slowly the technicians lowered her to the artists that were right beneath her. Feng Xinying kept her legs on their shoulders and they held her legs. They lowered her a little more. Two artists came from the back and they held her arms. 

Four artists had held Feng Xinying's arms and legs. As per the sequence they started swinging her back and forth. After swinging her three times, they threw her forward with full force. At this point of time the technicians had to pull her up immediately. However, as they were about to pull her up, they heard a loud 'Twang' sound. The rope had snapped somewhere inside.

Feng Xinying was thrown and the rope broke.
