Chapter 59: The Legendary Scene of the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick!

Ah???

There's insider news, heard that Yang Mi simultaneously took on four dramas to film...

Four dramas?

Holy shit, Da Mi Mi, what the hell is she trying to do?

Desperate Third Sister!

Is this for money, taking any drama?

666!

Really putting in the effort!

No wonder they're being scolded; if it were me, I'd scold them too!

Netizens flooded the comments with their opinions.

Some felt sorry for Yang Mi.

Of course, there were also those joining in the criticism.

They said she wasn't professional, that she should just focus on one drama and not be greedy, biting off more than she can chew.

In short.

The heat of this topic kept rising as netizens heatedly discussed it.

Over here.

In the celebrity group.

Everyone naturally saw the online news.

Everyone knew Yang Mi got bashed onto the hot search because of her multi-project acting.

Everyone was trying to cheer her up.

Although everyone says there's no genuine friendship in the entertainment industry,

but we're all in this group together.

This shows we get along well.

Naturally, we don't want anything to happen to Yang Mi.

Yang Mi also knows that multi-project acting isn't good.

There's nothing to be done.

She has to make money.

Moreover, she has to drag the company's actors into filming together.

Give them more screen time.

The crew of The Richest Man in Xihong City.

Lin Mo was busy filming; he had no time to check online news.

Re Ba spent most of last night on the phone with Yang Mi, constantly comforting her.

As usual.

Usually, Yang Mi, as the older sister, takes care of Re Ba.

Now the roles have reversed.

Meanwhile.

Re Ba also passed on Lin Mo's words to Yang Mi.

This afternoon, since Xiao Tian had no scenes, she and Re Ba went shopping.

Lin Mo now has money.

Let Re Ba buy whatever she wants; as long as she's happy.

Just don't make me go shopping with her.

Today's scene is being filmed at a hotel.

And this segment is also a relatively classic scene in the movie.

Zhuang Qiang brought his childhood friend and classmate, Da Congming, saying he wanted to share the pressure with Wang Duoyu.

Then came the famous scene 'Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick'.

The actor playing Da Congming is called Wang Chengsi.

Before this, he was just an ordinary bit-part actor.

He had no agency, basically just drifting around film crews playing tiny roles.

In the previous film, Charlotte's Trouble, he luckily got a role with a few shots but no lines.

Fortunately, Director Lin happened to take notice of him.

They said the next film would give him a good role with lines, and not just a few.

"Alright, those points I just mentioned, think about them some more; now go get makeup ready!" Lin Mo clapped his hands and said.

"Okay, Director Lin!"

This scene features just the three of them: Zhang Yiming, Shen Teng, and Wang Chengsi.

In the original film.

Wang Chengsi's character Da Congming comes with a built-in ad: when he appears, the fan he holds shows a Xiaomi phone, making people look more beautiful.

And for this drama, quite a few advertisers have come knocking seeking cooperation.

Among them is Xiaomi's phone.

Just perfect, nothing needs to be changed.

It didn't take long.

The three of them finished their makeup and came out.

This is a modern drama, not a period piece, so it's not that complicated.

Actually.

Lin Mo didn't need to worry at all.

Yesterday, the three of them had already run through this scene several times, with no problem.

Shen Teng also didn't want to make his boss angry.

As long as it's a shot where he appears, try to do it in one take.

"The Richest Man in Xihong City, Scene 21, Action!"

At Lin Mo's command, the entire set fell silent instantly, only the faint sound of machinery running could be heard.

In the monitor, the camera slowly pushed in, focusing on Wang Chengsi's portrayal of Da Congming.

That outfit: white shoes and socks, yellow shorts paired with a blue top.

This loser vibe is just too strong!

Wang Chengsi had his back to the sofa.

Meanwhile, here.

With Lin Mo's utterance of "Go" through the earpiece, the camera switched, and Zhang Yiming and Shen Teng walked into the frame from one side.

"Da Congming!" Zhang Yiming's voice rang out, and Wang Chengsi turned in response.

"Xiao Li, give Shen Teng a close-up!"

All that could be seen was.

Shen Teng's expression management was superb; he widened his eyes, lightly patted his chest, strode forward and took Wang Chengsi's hand: "Please, you must join my team, Da Congming — indeed, you live up to your reputation!"

The next second, another camera aimed at Wang Chengsi.

Wang Chengsi, not to be outdone, put on a deep tone and asked: "Have you heard my story?"

Shen Teng immediately replied: "No, but your face is full of stories!"

The two went back and forth, the jokes never stopping.

"Hey, you just said you didn't need to introduce anyone."

"I lacked foresight; I never could have imagined that such an ordinary elementary school could produce the two of you at once — truly, heaven helps me!"

"......"

What's most impressive is that this segment was almost a one-shot, smooth and natural, with no dragging.

When Lin Mo shouted: "Cut, that's a wrap!"

The whole set let out a sigh of relief, then burst into warm applause.

Lin Mo led the applause, and Assistant Director Luo Kai also joined in.

"Tengge, your final expression was spot on!"

"And Wang Chengsi, your performance in this part was just right!"

"Not bad, not bad!"

Lin Mo gave them praise without reservation.

These three dare not take credit.

Shen Teng hurriedly said: "Not at all, not at all, it's all thanks to Director Lin's teaching!"

"Yeah, Director Lin, you could say you taught us hands‑on how to act; if we messed up, we might as well jump from here!"

"Exactly, exactly, exactly!"

Zhang Yiming and Wang Chengsi echoed in agreement.

Upon hearing this,

Lin Mo just smiled and said nothing.

Shen Teng and Zhang Yiming — these two haven't spared any effort flattering him on set.

Lin Mo has grown accustomed to it.

Afterward, they shot a few more takes.

By evening.

Re Ba and Xiao Tian only returned to the set.

Because there was a scene between Xiao Tian and Shen Teng that night.

During the meal.

Lin Mo naturally didn't eat with the others.

Re Ba bought him lots of food.

A week's time.

In the blink of an eye it passed, and Re Ba had to return to Hengdian.

Because.

Yang Mi joined another production.

Bringing several artists from her company.

Naturally, Re Ba was among them.

At the airport, Re Ba's little face was full of reluctance, like a child, gazing longingly at Lin Mo.

Seeing this, Lin Mo smiled, reached out, gently rubbed her head, and comforted her: "My film, I estimate it'll be done in about two months; then I'll produce your show, and we'll be able to be together every day~!"

Upon hearing this, Re Ba's eyes lit up instantly, she nodded vigorously: "Mmm, you better work hard and finish soon, then come find me early!"

Good!
