Chapter 463: Every detail in place, the filming of *Ghost Blows Out the Light*!

Soon, the crew began filming the scenes set in the snow-capped mountains.

In truth, aside from the snow mountains, most of the first installment of *Ghost Blows Out the Light* takes place in the desert, meaning that after finishing the mountain scenes, the crew would have to head to the desert to rush through the remaining footage.

Fortunately, everything went very smoothly during the filming in the snow mountains.

After wrapping up, the group quickly returned to the country to begin filming the main plot in the desert.

"Attention all departments, the desert is currently in the middle of a sandstorm, so let's aim to get every shot in one take."

The director instructed all departments.

In reality, these scenes could have been synthesized indoors using green screens.

However, Chen Mo insisted on filming on location.

It was precisely because of the on-location filming that everything would be more authentic.

"Action!"

The director shouted.

As the director's voice rang out, the crew used large industrial fans to whip up the sand in the desert.

Just watching the actors, everyone felt like they would end up with a mouthful of sand.

The three actors moved forward through the sandstorm.

Gao Yuanyuan and Jiang Chao were both affected by the wind and sand, unable to open their mouths to deliver their lines.

Or, if they did speak, their voices were too soft for the post-production audio equipment to pick up.

Only Chen Mo, even with a large amount of sand entering his mouth, managed to keep his lines clear.

"No good, the actors' line delivery is too poor, we must do it again!"

The director shook his head.

He had originally thought this scene could be done in one take; it seems he had thought too highly of it.

The sandstorm was too strong, and since it was the actors' first time filming such a scene, no one would be used to it.

"Mo, how do you manage to speak clearly in such a massive sandstorm? Every time I open my mouth, it's full of sand."

Jiang Chao waved his hand, spitting out sand several times in a row.

Gao Yuanyuan was also frowning.

Not only did they feel sand in their mouths, they felt it everywhere on their bodies.

"Forget it, what Mo is showing is professionalism; we still have a lot to learn."

Jiang Chao said.

*Cough...*

Chen Mo rubbed his nose.

Originally, he had just wanted to get it over with quickly because he was also afraid of eating a mouthful of sand.

He hadn't expected to have to film it again.

If he had known, he wouldn't have opened his mouth so wide just now.

But now that Jiang Chao had pinned such a high label on him, Chen Mo felt too embarrassed to say that.

With Chen Mo's previous take as a demonstration, this time Jiang Chao and Gao Yuanyuan brought their full state of mind to the acting.

Even though the sand poured into their mouths, the two persisted.

"Cut!"

The director shouted excitedly.

This scene was quite difficult for the actors; besides the sand, they were wearing winter clothes, and it was the height of summer.

Every second of filming was a test for the actors.

During the break on set.

"How are the murals coming along?"

Chen Mo asked the director.

As a tomb-raiding themed film, besides the real adventures they experienced, the most important elements were the various monsters and the strange things inside the tombs.

Among these, the murals were a very important component.

"We hired the best art team in the country, and they've already been painted. Take a look."

The director placed the photos in front of Chen Mo.

They were indeed very realistic!

The art team for *Ghost Blows Out the Light* consisted of masters of traditional Chinese painting, and they even had several historians acting as consultants.

Therefore, the murals were highly faithful to ancient styles while also possessing Western Regions characteristics.

"And that pig-faced bat, it exhausted us; we had to glue the fur on one strand at a time."

The director said.

"Also, that primitive creature from the novel, the Giant Salamander, the team looked through many marine guidebooks and referenced many deep-sea monsters before finally creating it."

After thinking for a moment, the director added another sentence.

He spoke of these processes with great emotion.

The attention to detail in *Ghost Blows Out the Light* alone was something many domestic films couldn't compare to.

"Thank you for your hard work, I'll treat everyone to chicken legs."

Chen Mo nodded, still very satisfied with the crew's preparatory work.

"Chicken legs? What chicken legs? I want to eat!"

Jiang Chao hadn't really heard the previous words, but as soon as he heard about chicken legs, his eyes lit up, and he leaned over to ask Chen Mo.

This made everyone burst into laughter.

Because filming in the desert could not be interrupted, otherwise all the actors and crew members would have to stay on set for a longer period.

So, Chen Mo took a week off from this season of *Longing for Life* and would not be returning to record for the time being.

Mushroom House.

The three guests sat in the courtyard, feeling quite bored.

"I didn't notice it when Mo was here, but now that he's gone this season, I feel like something is missing."

Mei Yanfang sighed.

She hadn't expected that one day she would be so reliant on a junior.

"Yeah, it's so boring without Mo here."

Brother sighed.

It was more interesting when Mo was around.

"I wonder when Mo will be back."

Yang Mi sighed as she said this; she was probably the one who missed Chen Mo the most among the three.

Besides Chen Mo being away, the most important thing was that none of them knew how to cook!

Good grief.

The three of them stared at the pot in the kitchen for a long time, but not a single one of them made a move to cook.

"How about we try cooking? When Mo comes back, we can make a meal for him?"

Mei Yanfang suggested.

Yang Mi and Brother both agreed.

After considering for a long time what to make, they finally decided on scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

"Do we add soy sauce to scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"

"No! That's salt, not sugar!"

"My god, why is the pot on fire? What do we do!"

The three of them were in a flurry in the kitchen, trying to cook.

This scene terrified the production team, who had staff standing by at all times, fearing they might blow up the kitchen.

In the end, the three of them served a plate of charred, black stuff.

"Maybe we should just give up on cooking; let's leave this job to Mo."

Brother said with some embarrassment.

"I agree."

Mei Yanfang and Yang Mi said in unison.

After all, who would dare to eat this thing?

They certainly wouldn't...

Meanwhile, the latest episode of *Longing for Life* began.

This episode almost made the audience die of laughter.

If the previous two episodes were all about the guests slowly getting into the groove, then this episode was packed with laughs.

Especially the scene where Chen Mo and the others got drunk on crayfish.

"I knew something bad was going to happen the moment I saw Taylor pour that much white liquor."

"Avril and Yang Mi are going to make me die of laughter."
