The director watched as Fang Mo'er personally went up to the hanging wire and could not help but say, "Miss Fang, you don't have to do this kind of fighting scene yourself. We'll just need you to reshoot the scene for close-ups. The sword has no eyes."
This was because the Hua Mulan that Fang Mo'er was playing was a female warrior with exceptional martial arts skills. She needed to be able to fight while riding on a horse. There would be a shot where she have to fly down from her warhorse. It would be a test of the fluidity of her movements.
Hence, the director had planned for the stunt double who had several years of martial arts skills to be involved in this scene. She had not expected Fang Mo'er to want to take part in it personally.
Mu Bei walked over to stand beside the director and asked in confusion, "She wants to take part in this scene personally?"
