Chapter 419

~6 min read 1,069 words

After leaving the program site, Chen Mo went directly to the filming location of *The Deer and the Cauldron*.

Currently, only Liu Shishi and Yang Mi were on set.

Although Wei Xiaobao had 7 wives, the order and time of each wife’s appearance in *The Deer and the Cauldron* were different.

Among them, only Shuang'er and Princess Jianning spent the longest time with Wei Xiaobao.

That was why Liu Shishi and Yang Mi, like Chen Mo, stayed with him as soon as the crew started filming.

On set, Liu Shishi was the first to change into her clothes and come out.

Chen Mo had just arrived at the crew and hadn't put on his makeup yet.

"Mo, are you really going to wear this costume?"

Liu Shishi asked with some hesitation.

The other crew members were also speechless.

"What’s wrong?"

Chen Mo looked at their expressions, feeling a bit curious.

"This outfit looks too much like a little hooligan, and it’s all tattered."

Liu Shishi pointed at the clothes.

If other TV series tried their best to dress Chen Mo as a handsome and dashing hero, then *The Deer and the Cauldron* was dressing him completely as a low-life hooligan.

Later on, when Wei Xiaobao had money, the clothes he wore were still decent.

The clothes in the early stages were truly very tattered.

It completely subverted Chen Mo’s previous image.

"Why don't we pick another costume?"

Liu Shishi asked.

"Isn't it good to look like a little hooligan? It means this outfit was chosen correctly."

Chen Mo shrugged.

In the original story, Wei Xiaobao was an unlearned little hooligan who didn't even know a single character.

If he were dressed handsomely and dashingly, he wouldn't be Wei Xiaobao.

"But..."

Liu Shishi still wanted to say something.

For a classic TV series, as long as the character is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

After the series ends, the audience will also have emotions toward the actor because they can't get out of the character.

For example, Rong Momo in *My Fair Princess*.

Linger in *Chinese Paladin*.

If the audience truly hates a character, the actor will be affected to a certain extent.

"I am an actor, not an idol. For me, being able to make the audience get into the story is the best thing."

Chen Mo looked at Liu Shishi.

Hearing Chen Mo say this, Liu Shishi suddenly understood something.

She was also deeply touched by Chen Mo’s words.

That’s right.

Many actors nowadays, for the sake of their own image, completely ignore whether it fits the character in the film or TV series.

Soldiers with bangs.

People who should be martial arts heroes, yet they look frail.

The reason is that these actors have a deep idol burden and are unwilling to sacrifice for the role.

After hearing Chen Mo’s words, Liu Shishi finally realized.

"I understand. I will also work hard to play the role of Shuang'er well. I will also serve you in the crew."

Liu Shishi said to Chen Mo.

"You catch on quite quickly."

Chen Mo pinched Liu Shishi’s cheek.

Soon, Chen Mo entered the makeup room to start his look.

When he came out again, everyone almost didn't recognize Chen Mo.

"My god? Is this Brother Mo? If you told me this was a little hooligan from somewhere, I would believe it."

"Brother Mo is too awesome. How can he even change his own temperament?"

"This acting skill, he’s not just the Best Actor who just won an Oscar."

"I’m a bit looking forward to what this TV series will look like when it’s filmed."

"I thought Brother Mo couldn't play Wei Xiaobao, but it seems I thought too much."

The crew members sighed.

They had followed Chen Mo through many film and TV projects, but this was the first time they had seen Chen Mo dress up like this.

One could only say that Chen Mo was a truly good actor.

The filming started, and since they were all actors Chen Mo was familiar with, the progress of the early filming was very smooth.

On the other side, because of the airing of *The Voice*, the program team had already released many hit songs in a row.

*Old Street*, *Big Fish*, *Love Ya Love Ya*...

The most important thing was that these songs were all produced by Chen Mo.

The popularity of *The Voice* increased once again.

Along with it, the popularity of the contestants inside also began to rise.

And the competing *Super Girl* at the same time, the more it went to the end, the less strength it had.

Excluding the program effects deliberately created by Long Danni, the level of the contestants in the entire program was a big gap from the level of the contestants in *The Voice*.

Even the live broadcast of the semi-finals.

The number of concurrent online viewers was not even 300,000.

The popularity was quite low.

"Competing for ratings with *The Voice* this time, we lost too thoroughly."

Long Danni sighed.

It seems that doing a variety show at the same time as Momei Company only leads to admitting defeat.

It’s too terrifying.

After the audience watched *The Voice*, they didn't want to watch other variety shows at all.

"In the future, no matter what variety show Momei Company produces, we cannot launch a variety show at the same time."

Long Danni gave instructions to the employees below.

It wasn't just Long Danni.

The competition between *Super Girl* and *The Voice* this time was being watched by all entertainment companies; it could be said that as long as *Super Girl* didn't lose too badly this time.

Other entertainment companies would immediately launch the same variety show.

It’s just a pity that *Super Girl* was a miserable defeat.

At the beginning, there were tens of millions of viewers watching *Super Girl*, but in the end, they couldn't even gather 300,000 viewers.

All entertainment companies planned to avoid the limelight of Momei Company.

At least in the future, if Momei Company releases any variety show, they would wait until Momei Company’s variety show ends before releasing theirs.

*The Deer and the Cauldron* crew.

The previous scenes were all filmed very smoothly, and other actors also entered the crew one after another.

The plot of Chen Mo in Yangzhou was filmed very quickly.

It was time to film the scenes in the palace.
