Chapter 16

"Alright, don't scare the little guy. Come, Momo... sister will take you to play."

Yang Qiong walked over, reached out, and held Chen Mo in her arms, and gently pinched Chen Mo's cheek with her other hand.

"Okay, sister, where are we going to play?"

Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"How about we play house later?"

"Mm, okay!"

Chen Mo nodded.

At this moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded in Chen Mo's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for joining a film crew for the first time. Achievement 'Film Crew Newbie' unlocked. Reward: one system lottery chance.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for acting for the first time. Achievement 'Film Industry Newbie' unlocked. Reward: one system lottery chance.]

[Ding! The host can combine five lottery chances into one intermediate lottery.]

Hearing the system's last prompt, Chen Mo was slightly stunned.

Five lottery chances can get one intermediate lottery!

Should he save them and exchange them for an intermediate lottery?

Thinking of this, Chen Mo moved his attention away from the system.

Half an hour later...

Chen Mo began his first acting experience in two lifetimes.

Because he had previously obtained Primary Acting Skills, this primary acting skill was not just about facial expressions, but also included grasping the camera and positioning after acting, etc.

At this moment, in an open space...

Six or seven cameras were aimed at Chen Mo and Xie Miao.

Director Zhu Ping sat in front of the screen, holding a megaphone in his hand.

Behind him stood Chen Fu and Chen Mu.

The two looked nervously at Chen Mo, who was dressed as a little novice monk not far away.

"Assistant director, have you explained the scene to the two little ones?"

"Explained, Director."

"OK, everyone in position... three... two... one... action!"

Click!

The sound of the clapperboard rang out.

The surrounding onlookers and staff all looked toward the field, and some actors gathered around, curiously watching the performance of the two little ones.

Of course...

It was mainly to watch Chen Mo's performance.

After all, the little guy was so cute, and he had attracted everyone's attention as soon as he arrived at the crew. Everyone was curious to see if the little guy would cooperate later.

But he was only a four-year-old child, so he shouldn't cooperate, right?

However...

The result was not what everyone thought.

On the field, Chen Mo's expressions, positioning, and even his grasp of the camera were completely unlike a newcomer.

You have to know that this little guy was only four years old!

"Whoa! This little guy is born for this line of work!"

Director Zhu Ping, sitting in front of the screen, said after seeing Chen Mo's performance.

Chen Fu and Chen Mu behind him looked at each other.

Ten seconds later...

"Cut!"

"This segment was filmed well, but Xiaolong's expression was a bit too stiff just now, and his eyes kept looking at the camera. Let's do this segment again."

Director Zhu Ping said.

Hearing Zhu Ping, the two assistant directors beside him walked toward the field.

Just like that, the whole day was spent filming, and after night fell, they started filming night scenes.

In the 90s, filming was very fast, especially in Xiangjiang, where it was normal for a movie to be filmed in one or two months. For example, the famous 'King of Trash Movies' Wang Pangzi filmed 10 movies in one year at his peak, which was one movie a month.

So Chen Mo spent the whole day filming, and it even went until three o'clock in the morning. It wasn't until Chen Mo couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep on the ground that Director Zhu Ping ordered the day's work to end.

The next morning, a little after seven...

Chen Mo, who was still groggy, was dressed by Chen Mu and then carried to the film crew.

Then, in a groggy state, he was put into his costume...

After the costume was put on, Chen Mo was ready to film, but an accident happened.

Because the two biggest stars in the crew, Yang Qiong and Zheng Shao, had other movies to film, the whole day was spent filming their scenes.

After filming for the day, all their scenes in this movie were finished, and they left the crew that night.

However, before leaving, Yang Qiong hugged Chen Mo again, pinched his little face, and kissed him before leaving.

The third day...

Chen Mo started filming again.

Because Yang Qiong left, only two actresses remained in the crew, namely the famous Sister Pomegranate and Ye Zhen, who played Xiaohong in the movie.

Both actresses liked to tease Chen Mo, whether during filming or in their daily lives...

After all, Chen Mo, who was cute and had a sweet mouth, was very likable.

Just like that...

Time reached August...

A month passed, and "Shaolin Popey: Wulong Courtyard" wrapped up.

That night, Director Zhu Ping held a wrap-up banquet.

At the banquet, both staff and actors were eating and drinking.

Chen Mo was sitting in Chen Mu's arms, holding a chicken leg and gnawing on it.

Not far away, Chen Fu was chatting with Zhu Ping.

"Old Chen, Momo is a good kid. He's born for this line of work. Both his external conditions and his natural grasp of the camera are very talented. Does Mr. Chen have any plans to let Momo continue to develop in this circle?"

Zhu Ping raised his glass and clinked it with Chen Fu's, asking.

During this month, the two had become familiar with each other, and because Chen Fu was very capable of dealing with people, their conversation was more casual.

Hearing Zhu Ping, Chen Fu thought in his heart...

Although he didn't understand acting, he had seen his son's performance this month.

The other child who acted with Momo basically had many problems every day, either not cooperating with filming or not being focused when filming. But his son was not only very cooperative but also had superb acting skills, rarely having problems.

Should he really let his son walk this path in the future?

Chen Fu began to think secretly in his heart...

"How about this, I still have some connections in Xiangjiang. If any film crew needs some child actors in the future, I'll call you, how about that?"

Zhu Ping said again at this time.

Chen Fu smiled bitterly after hearing this, "Old Zhu, I need to go back and think about this carefully. To tell you the truth... you see that brat of mine looks very obedient during this time, but he's actually very naughty... a while ago..."

As he spoke, Chen Fu told the story of Chen Mo running away from home, but he naturally didn't mention the lottery ticket.

"Okay, you guys discuss it later."

Zhu Ping nodded after hearing this.

Then, thinking of something, he said, "To be honest, I really think Momo has talent..."

"Haha, let's not talk about it, come, let's drink..."

Chen Fu raised his glass and smiled.

Then the two drank again.
