Chapter 243: The Timid Boss (Ten-Thousand-Character Chapter)

It was another early morning.

Wang Ou opened her eyes a minute before the alarm went off. After breathing quietly for a moment, she raised her hand and pressed the alarm on the bedside table to silence it as the crisp ring sounded.

She threw off the quilt and nimbly rolled out of bed.

She looked to her side.

Wu Yu was still fast asleep.

Because the air conditioner was on, the other girl was dressed very scantily, with a thin blanket draped haphazardly over her body, her jade-white legs exposed wide open before Wang Ou's eyes.

The small camisole she was wearing had rolled up, and half of her chest gleamed with a layer of luster.

This scene.

Filled the room with spring scenery.

However, Wang Ou was already accustomed to it; she was dressed exactly the same way herself.

She pulled her soft camisole straight and put on her slippers.

"Liu Xiaoyu, wake up!"

She moved over and gently shook the other girl's shoulder: "Stop sleeping, we need to get up and wash up."

"Let me sleep a bit more."

Wu Yu turned over, muttering: "I'm so tired, my legs are sore!"

"Get up, you."

Wang Ou gave a forceful tug, pulling the other girl up, and reached out to touch her forehead: "You don't feel hot. Why have you been unable to get up these past two days? Is something wrong with your body?"

Whether actors are tired or not, she hadn't yet experienced it herself.

But being an assistant.

Is truly tiring.

One has to handle all sorts of chores, big and small, personally. Not only are you working on one thing, but you also have to think about the next task. Whatever the actor needs, the assistant must provide immediately.

One must remain focused at all times, so as not to affect the production team's work.

Although this period had been very rewarding.

To be honest.

After more than a week, Wang Ou also felt exhausted.

Brother Luo was actually quite easy to serve. In any case, from what she observed on set, other assistants were honestly in a worse state, their backpacks stuffed with all kinds of sundries like a treasure chest.

"I'm not sick."

Wu Yu lazily opened her arms, hugged her, and cooed like a spoiled child: "Sister Ou, you smell so good. Let me hug you for a while, let me doze for ten more seconds."

"Alright, alright, alright."

Wang Ou grinned.

But after patting the other girl's back a few times, she heard a soft laugh.

"What's wrong?"

She asked, puzzled.

"If Brother Luo saw us like this," Wu Yu scratched Wang Ou's waist comfortably, becoming much more awake: "He would definitely be drooling!"

"You're annoying."

Wang Ou was instantly ticklish and immediately launched a counterattack on the little assistant.

Amidst giggles, the two began tickling each other, their fair arms and jade legs tangled in a mess, and the spring scenery in the room rippled completely.

Under the laughter, they finally got themselves ready.

They hurried upstairs.

By this time, Li Luo was already dressed neatly and was stretching his body with composure.

The moment she entered the door and saw him, Wang Ou couldn't help but think of what Wu Yu had just said. Her footsteps became slightly messy, and she nodded earnestly: "Good morning, Brother Luo."

"Good morning."

With a high kick easily aimed at the top of his head, Li Luo nodded in response: "Pack your things first, I have something to tell you in a moment."

"Okay."

Wang Ou replied hurriedly.

In a daze, she and Wu Yu packed their things.

When they returned to the living room, they saw the boss take a slip of paper from the table and hand it over: "You don't need to follow me later, go find the Martial Arts B-Unit's vehicle yourself to sign in."

"If you can't find the place, call the person on it."

"This is the number for the B-Unit's martial arts director, Lin Feng."

"I had him arrange a role for you. This morning, you'll be filming the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Manor scene with Yang Mi. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask Sister Mi; she should have more experience than you."

"Uh~~~"

Taking the slip of paper in a daze, Wang Ou felt completely bewildered.

Things had happened too suddenly.

Her brain was almost in a state of shutdown.

Signing in, a role, filming—the words swirled in her mind, almost turning into a tangled mess.

"Work hard."

Li Luo patted her shoulder and encouraged her softly: "Don't lose face for Brother Luo. Bring out what you've learned; you'll definitely be fine. You must have confidence in yourself."

"That's amazing!"

Wu Yu, standing to the side, ran over excitedly and hugged the grinning Wang Ou tightly: "Congratulations, congratulations! After Brother Luo finishes filming, I'll come over to cheer for you!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!"

Wang Ou no longer knew what to say, repeating her thanks over and over.

Under the little assistant's shaking, she finally came back to her senses.

After a scream, she lunged forward, hugging Li Luo tightly in excitement, bouncing on the spot with joy.

Wu Yu followed suit.

Embracing both girls without ceremony.

Li Luo felt the girls bouncing against him and let out a hearty laugh.

After walking out of the hotel, Wang Ou had also clarified the general situation.

She resisted the urge to kiss her boss, thanked him repeatedly, said goodbye to Wu Yu, and kept waving her arms, watching the two board the RV.

"Phew~"

Once the car door closed, she let out a heavy breath.

With a nervous heart.

Wang Ou hurried through the hotel parking lot with her small backpack, passing by one commercial minibus after another.

Props, costumes, makeup.

Slips of paper were pasted on the windows of the minibuses.

Every early morning, all kinds of vehicles would depart from the hotel, heading to different filming locations.

Everywhere were unfamiliar faces—some excited, some numb, some sleepy. With different expressions appearing before her eyes, Wang Ou looked around anxiously, her footsteps wandering.

After filming officially started.

She had always just followed Brother Luo into the RV and that was it.

Where had she ever experienced such a scene?

"Wang Ou!"

A greeting sounded at this moment.

Hearing the familiar voice, she quickly locked onto the direction it came from.

"Sister Mi."

Wang Ou tightened her grip on her backpack and ran over with her long legs in excitement.

"Why are you wandering around everywhere?"

Yang Mi, hands in her pockets, gestured behind her with a cool demeanor: "Don't call me Sister Mi, just Yang Mi is fine. Let's go, Brother Luo asked me to look after you today, hurry up and get in line!"

Don't look at how she always acted like a little girl in front of Li Luo.

But elsewhere.

She still put on quite an air.

Yang Mi wasn't someone who acted one way to your face and another behind your back; she had suffered losses before and knew very well that when it was time to put on airs, she had to, otherwise some people would climb all over her.

"No, no, no."

Looking at the spot being offered, Wang Ou shook her head quickly: "Thank you, Sister Mi, I'll just line up at the back."

Bowing to thank her.

She ran to the end of the line with her long legs.

She couldn't use Brother Luo's status to tarnish his reputation on set.

In her heart.

There was another sweet little touch of emotion.

Seemingly indifferent, Brother Luo had actually already greeted everyone from the director to Sister Mi, looking as if he were afraid she would suffer a loss. Wang Ou couldn't help but grin foolishly, and a seed called happiness began to sprout in her heart.

The line shortened rapidly.

The long-legged girl also arrived beside the car door.

"Wang Ou?"

The staff member standing to the side raised his eyelids, a flash of brightness in his eyes.

"That's right."

Wang Ou nodded.

"Sign here."

The staff member handed over the clipboard and tapped on it: "Write your name clearly. How come I'm seeing you for the first time? Just joined the crew to film?"

"I suppose so."

Wang Ou bared her white teeth, along with her alluring red lips.

The staff member swallowed hard at the sight.

This was a large production, equivalent to two companies of people. Apart from the big names, it was perfectly normal for the rest not to know each other.

The gorgeous face made the staff member feel a surge of heat in his heart.

He prepared to take the opportunity to ask for a phone number.

And then sweet-talk her a bit.

Wouldn't he have something lined up for the night!

It was perfectly normal for beautiful women to appear on set. Having just joined the crew, her demeanor was cautious; these types usually had no background and could be easily tricked into bed with a few words.

Just as this guy was about to speak.

Someone nearby who saw through his intentions hurriedly stepped forward to whisper a few words.

In just an instant, the slight arrogance on his face turned into a fawning smile. As he took the clipboard, the guy nodded and bowed: "So it's Sister Ou. Brother Luo also seems to have scenes with the B-Unit today, right?"

"Mm."

With a faint smile, Wang Ou boarded the bus nimbly.

Filming here.

It was indeed her first time.

But she hadn't just started working on sets today.

The look the other guy had just revealed told her exactly what kind of mischief he was plotting. Seeing the guy go from arrogant to fawning, she felt a secret thrill.

But there was no need to give him a hard time.

These things were perfectly normal on a film set.

Just stay away from them!

Arriving inside the bus, she walked over excitedly at Yang Mi's greeting.

She greeted her politely.

And threw out all sorts of compliments as if they cost nothing.

Wang Ou knew that in the *Return of the Condor Heroes* crew, others wouldn't bully her, but how they treated her depended on herself. Even though Yang Mi was a few years younger, she didn't hesitate to flatter her.

Having stumbled into many pits.

Some things.

One would naturally understand.

There was already a connection, and now with all the flattery, even though Yang Mi knew the other girl was doing it on purpose, she couldn't help but let out a soft laugh and accepted the olive branch naturally.

The vehicle swayed and headed straight for the filming location.

Once all preparations were complete.

Actors of all sizes climbed the mountain under the stars before dawn.

Wang Ou had originally thought Yang Mi would quickly complain of being tired, after all, she was just an eighteen-year-old girl, but she didn't expect the other girl to have such resilience. When she got excited climbing, she even let out strange cries toward the mountains.

Watching her, Wang Ou couldn't help but join in the shouting.

Although she had left Brother Luo.

She was more or less nervous in her heart.

But being able to officially get in touch with acting was more of an excitement for her.

What followed.

Was a completely different experience.

Lining up to wait for makeup, putting on a thick wig.

Then lining up to change clothes. Even if this role was small, it was still better than being an extra; at least she had her own unique look and costume, and it wasn't filled with the smell of stinky sweat.

Playing with the long skirt on her body, Wang Ou smiled from ear to ear at the mirror.

It was a pity the camera was with Liu Xiaoyu.

Otherwise.

She would have definitely taken a few photos.

Next, she received a thin script. Wang Ou cherished it and looked at it; unfortunately, there were no lines, but the scene descriptions were written quite a bit.

For example, seeing a group of leopards, lions, and rhinoceroses surrounding them.

Retreating in terror, and so on.

Although there were no lines, these were enough for her to challenge herself!

Facing the mirror.

Wang Ou earnestly made one expression after another.

Even if she was just background, a role without lines, she had to do her best to act well and not waste the opportunity Brother Luo had arranged for her.

Under these expressions.

She didn't even notice a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.

Until she heard the shouting outside.

Wang Ou quickly pulled aside the curtain and strode out of the tent.

First, she listened to the director explaining the scene, then walked through the positions with other actors, making sure not to steal the protagonist's spot—this was easy to offend people, and she had seen extras accidentally steal positions.

They were scolded directly, their tears flowing like rain.

Every extra had once imagined that when the camera filmed them, they would use all sorts of tricks to show their charm.

Striving to attract the audience's attention to the greatest extent.

Thereby becoming famous overnight.

But once she really did this job, she found that it was all wishful thinking.

If one dared to mess around during serious filming, trying to steal the spotlight from the main actors, one didn't even need the actors to speak; the extra-coordinator and assistant director could spray you until you doubted your life, and tell you to pack your things and get out.

Without strength or background, no one would support your dreams.

So-called dreams.

For the vast majority of ordinary people, they were just empty promises.

"Good, Wang Ou walked well."

The martial arts director clapped his hands and encouraged the tall girl: "Let's do it again in a moment. You need to pay attention to coordinating with the reactions of the others. Alright, everyone take a five-minute break."

Since the favor had been done, it might as well be done thoroughly.

Saying a few nice words cost nothing.

"Thank you, Director."

Wang Ou squeezed the sword hilt hard and hurriedly expressed her thanks.

"Director Lin." Yang Mi wrapped her large red cloak around herself and exhaled white mist: "When we start filming, let Wang Ou stand by my side. The color of her clothes matches mine better."

Lin Feng didn't speak, just smiled and waved his hand.

There were quite a few actors and staff around, and all sorts of envious and jealous gazes fell on Wang Ou.

None of them were fools.

No one believed the excuse that the colors matched better.

It was nothing more than wanting the other girl to have more screen time.

She didn't know how many times she had slept with him to make that guy Li Luo help his assistant so much.

All sorts of thoughts.

Kept emerging.

"Thank you, Sister Mi."

Wang Ou naturally understood what Yang Mi meant and thanked her again.

She didn't care what others thought; she only knew that now someone was supporting her acting dream, her fame dream, and that was enough!

Squinting her eyes, she looked toward the horizon.

A red sun.

Leaped up from that touch of white.

"Prepare."

"Clear the set, clear the set."

"Make final preparations."

"Action."

Amidst the shouting, the thundering sound of hooves rang out continuously.

A group of people galloped through the mist-shrouded forest, whistling past the trees.

This scene made Wang Ou clench her fists tightly.

She wished she were on horseback herself.

"Don't be anxious."

Yang Mi bit off a small piece of biscuit and chewed it crunchily: "This kind of scene can only be completed by professional horse doubles. Among us, I reckon only Brother Luo can ride a horse through the woods."

"Anyway, I wouldn't dare."

What was being filmed right now was the entrance of the "Ghosts of West Mountain Cave."

They had finished their scene.

And ushered in a short break.

They could watch how others filmed first, then find their own positions later.

The two sat on small stools, watching for half an hour.

When the assistant director gestured.

Yang Mi patted Wang Ou's shoulder and stood up: "Let's go, it's our turn. Don't be nervous, just sit well on the horse, just like riding a carousel at an amusement park."

"Okay."

Wang Ou, who had never ridden a horse, swallowed and hurriedly stood up.

But she wasn't an anomaly.

Many people here had never ridden before.

Walking toward the horses that were snorting, Wang Ou barely managed to mount the horse with the help of the staff. The behemoth beneath her made her heart thump wildly.

But at this moment, she could only pretend to be calm.

She squeezed a smile at Yang Mi beside her, wondering how Brother Luo looked so relaxed when riding.

She didn't even dare to move now.

If it weren't for the rope pulling it, she was afraid the horse would charge off.

As everyone mounted their horses one after another.

At the director's greeting, the camera opposite was quickly moved over. The moment the lens was aimed at her, Wang Ou's head buzzed, and she felt as if she were floating.

Everything that followed was like a dream.

Listening to others reciting lines.

She tried hard to put on a nervous expression.

Dismounting, she followed the crowd and ran toward the open space in the middle.

Amidst the shouting.

She filmed one shot after another in a daze.

Resting, filming, resting, filming—it cycled continuously until, amidst several roars, she slashed randomly at the person lunging at her, and then bowed messily along with the crowd.

She hadn't even recovered her senses.

"Wang Ou!"

At a low call, she turned her head subconsciously.

Seeing the two people standing in the corner of the set, Wang Ou's eyes instantly turned sour, and she immediately ran over.

"Brother Luo, Liu Xiaoyu."

Barely stopping her footsteps, she looked at the two people in front of her, breathing rapidly.

Her sizable chest.

Heaving even more rapidly.

The impulse in her heart drove Wang Ou to want to hug him, but the people coming and going around her told her she couldn't make such a move.

"Come, come, come."

Seeing the girl's flushed face, Li Luo laughed and put his arm around Sister Ou's shoulder, gesturing to Wu Yu: "Take out the camera. This is the first artist I've signed."

"Standing here is a future big star."

"This look."

"Couldn't be more valuable."

"Take a group photo of me and Sister Ou. After we go back, have Sister Yue print it out and hang it on the company wall!"

It was fine at first, but when she heard the latter part, Wang Ou's face turned beet red. She stomped her feet in extreme shame: "Brother Luo, stop joking with me. I even accidentally looked at the camera just now!"

Any thought of shocking the whole audience upon arrival.

Had already been thrown to the back of her mind.

Being able to complete the positioning to the director's satisfaction already made her extremely happy.

The phrase "future big star" made her feel instantly ashamed.

"So what if you looked?"

Li Luo patted her back gently, his tone firm and encouraging: "As if no one has ever looked at the camera before. Stand straight. I said you'll be a big star in the future, so you'll definitely be a big star."

"Give Brother Luo some spirit!!!"

"Mm!"

With tears in her eyes, Wang Ou stood straight and looked at the camera in front with Li Luo.

As Wu Yu pressed the shutter.

The happy smile on Sister Ou's face was also frozen in the camera.

Wiping away a tear.

Wang Ou waved at Wu Yu quickly again.

Amidst laughter.

Li Luo took the camera and left a series of group photos for the two.

Finally, Sister Ou turned sideways and slung the snake-shaped sword onto her back, looking at the person holding the camera with eyes full of water and high spirits.

In the lush primeval forest.

A young lady in a red lining and white long gown appeared in the lens.

Although Wang Ou had a flashy hairstyle, it couldn't hide her gorgeous beauty.

Smiling.

Li Luo pressed the shutter.

"Big Brother!"

A playful shout rang out. Guo Xiang, noticing this scene, skipped over, grabbed his arm in excitement, and said with a face full of joy: "I want to take photos too, can you take a few for me?"

"You really know how to order people around."

Li Luo made a gesture to flick her forehead and took a photo right in her face: "Why are you dressed like Little Red Riding Hood? Aren't you afraid of attracting the Big Bad Wolf?"

"You took an ugly photo of me again!!!"

Yang Mi kicked and punched, saying angrily: "You're that Big Bad Wolf."

"Hahaha."

Li Luo's laughter echoed through the surrounding forest.

He took a few earnest photos for Little Red Riding Hood, and the latter finally returned to the rest area satisfied. What Yang Mi wanted wasn't photos, she just wanted more opportunities for private contact.

Throwing this work camera to Wu Yu, Li Luo looked at Wang Ou seriously:

"You've been filming for a few hours now, right?"

"How does it feel?"

Don't look at how it was just a few scenes; the time spent back and forth was not insignificant.

Filming itself didn't take much time.

But the adjustments and positioning in between required a lot of effort.

"I don't know."

Wang Ou wiped the sweat from her hands in embarrassment, her voice stumbling: "Anyway, I just did whatever the director told me to do. I don't know what the specific effect is."

Runway shows, media interviews, and the like.

She had experienced quite a few.

But this was her first time filming seriously on a big production; her heart was filled with nothing but nervousness!

"Rest for a bit."

Li Luo nodded and instructed Wu Yu: "Get Sister Ou something to drink."

The other girl's performance.

Was completely within his expectations.

Anyway, as long as she wasn't unable to walk, it counted as successfully completing the task. After all, she wasn't professionally trained, so she still needed a certain process of familiarity in front of the camera.

When he patted her back just now, he felt her clothes were already wet.

This condition.

Belonged to a state of extreme nervousness and excitement.

So he let Wu Yu get her something to drink, let the girl calm down first, and then talk.

"Liu Xiaoyu, stay."

After the other girl gulped down half a bottle of mineral water, Li Luo dropped a sentence and walked toward the monitor on his own.

Wang Ou understood.

And hurriedly followed.

Unlike the caution from just now, now there was a sense of walking through a deserted place.

Along the way.

All sorts of greetings rang out.

Wang Ou was no longer nervous, and her back straightened quietly.

"Brother Feng."

Li Luo arrived beside the monitor, politely took out a cigar from his pocket, and handed one to the other: "This is Cuban stuff brought from Jingcheng, try it and see how it tastes."

"Did the A-Unit finish so quickly?"

Seeing his attitude was so polite, Lin Feng smiled and took it: "Thank you, Brother Luo, I'll try these good things too."

"The sword practice scene is very simple."

Li Luo started unwrapping it and helped light it after cutting it: "I'm just smoking for fun. If Brother Feng wants to smoke, come to my room anytime. I can't promise anything else, but there's plenty of tobacco and alcohol."

According to importance, he was actually above the other person.

But being polite to people.

Is never a problem.

What's more, the B-Unit director had also done him a favor, so he should express his gratitude.

Lin Feng felt the aroma of the cigar and asked through the smoke: "I remember we still have to film the *Jade Maiden Heart Sutra* tonight. How about we film your and Guo Xiang's scenes first, and let the others wait?"

"That way you can have more time to rest."

With a simple sentence, the Ten Thousand Beasts Shanzhuang and the Ghosts of West Mountain Cave would have to wait for an hour or two.

But coming from Lin Feng's mouth, the tone seemed perfectly natural.

"No need."

Li Luo shook his head with the cigar in his mouth: "Let's just follow the normal filming schedule. I'll get into the mood with them."

"Alright."

Lin Feng stood up tactfully and stretched: "I'm going to take a leak."

He knew Li Luo definitely wanted to watch the footage just filmed, and he was watching someone else's performance. Although no one cared, there was more or less a suspicion of overstepping.

He might as well leave and let him operate as he pleased.

"Thank you, Brother Feng."

Li Luo smiled and expressed his thanks.

The former waved his hand, scratched his crotch, and soon disappeared from view.

"Sit."

Li Luo moved the chair forward and said without looking back: "If you want to know how you acted, watching the playback is the most intuitive way, but this might also affect your mindset."

"Just watch with me now, don't think about it later."

"Every performance, bring out your best state."

"That is what you should do."

"Okay, Brother Luo!"

Wang Ou, who had been standing quietly behind, nodded hurriedly. It was only because it was Brother Luo; the other actors who had filmed together just now wouldn't know how they acted until the TV series aired.

She cherished this opportunity and bent down to look closely at the monitor.

On it.

The clip just filmed appeared soon.

From looking around nervously on horseback, to stumbling forward after dismounting, and then waving the snake-shaped sword randomly, looking around at the air.

Watching and watching.

Wang Ou's fair face gradually turned pink.

Apart from nervousness, she didn't seem to have any other expressions.

Her movements were also very clumsy.

It was as if she were wearing a layer of shackles.

When she stumbled, she almost bumped into Guo Xiang beside her. Clearly, she had felt it was very good just now, so how did it turn into this on screen?

"It's okay."

Li Luo paused the screen and turned back: "The current scene..."

His mouth opened slightly.

He was instantly struck dumb.

Wang Ou had bent over deeply, poking straight behind him.

Thanks to gravity!

This action caused her collar to hang down naturally.

Li Luo's gaze pierced directly through the loose collar into a most wonderful realm. Two snow-white arcs appeared before his eyes, swaying, rounder and larger than he had imagined.

Vaguely, he could even see a hint of pink.

Out of politeness.

He maintained a state of looking straight ahead.

Not even willing to blink.

"The scene what?"

Stopping halfway through a sentence was the most heart-wrenching situation, so Wang Ou couldn't help but ask.

At the same time.

Her gaze also fell on Li Luo's face.

Finally, following the other person's line of sight, she moved toward her own direction.

Actually, there was no need to confirm.

Just by a woman's intuition, she knew why Li Luo had suddenly interrupted his speech. If it were normal times, she would have definitely straightened up immediately, and might even have issued a reprimand.

But now, Wang Ou remained motionless.

Her pink face.

Slowly emerged with a girlish color.

At this moment, the sunlight passed through the gaps in the branches and fell on her cheeks. Her earlobes, red as blood, were illuminated until they were transparent. Another breeze blew, causing the hair by her ears to sway slightly.

In just two breaths, Wang Ou brewed a charm like red wine.

Gorgeous as spring.

"Cough, the the current scene."

Li Luo hurriedly withdrew his gaze and pointed at the screen seriously: "Later, we will add some animals like tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves around you."

"So your expression is considered standard."

"Mm-hmm."

Wang Ou nodded along with his voice, but most of her attention was on her boss's profile. Seeing the serious look he was putting on, she couldn't help but secretly laugh in her heart.

Rolling her eyes.

Sister Ou curled her lips slightly.

Timid boss!

It's not like she wouldn't let him look.

Hmph~

Amidst Li Luo's words, Wang Ou quickly reined in her wandering thoughts and looked at the monitor screen with focus. This was a rare time she could directly observe the flaws in her performance.

The boss was probably risking being scolded by the producer.

She couldn't miss it.

In just two minutes, Li Luo picked out a bunch of flaws for Wang Ou.

One couldn't be polite all the time; only by pointing out existing problems at the current stage could the other person make targeted corrections. With his current level, picking flaws was no problem.

"Alright, just like this."

Noticing Lin Feng's figure appearing, Li Luo cleared his throat: "Go and take a notebook to record the problems mentioned just now, and then break them down and improve them bit by bit."

"Don't think about it now, otherwise you'll film even more messily later."

"Go!"

"Oh~"

Wang Ou smiled, chest held high, and walked past him gracefully, heading straight for where Wu Yu was.

So thunderous~~~

Biting the cigar, Li Luo slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

After chatting with the director and expressing his thanks again, he swayed toward where Little Red Riding Hood was, sneaked behind the other person, and covered those big eyes with lightning speed.

"Mm~"

Tapping the open script in her hand, Yang Mi held back a laugh: "Let me guess, are you Shi Xiaolong Maiden, Lu Wushuang, Guo Fu, Li Mochou, or Huang Rong?"

"I am Guo Xiang!"

Thanking the other girl's assistant, Li Luo sat down in the chair that had been brought over.

"Then I am Yang Guo~"

Yang Mi took out a pack of biscuits and shook it triumphantly: "Call me Big Brother, and this hero will reward you with something delicious."

*Rip. *

Li Luo took beef jerky from his pocket, tore it open, and chewed it leisurely.

"Gulp."

Little Red Riding Hood in front of him swallowed secretly.

And winked at him quickly.

During training, Yang Mi had eaten her fill.

But after returning to the agency and stepping on the scale, she was scolded severely. Now that she had joined the crew, her assistant kept a close eye on everything she ate. Today for breakfast, she had only gnawed on a bag of biscuits.

She felt like she was going to starve to death!

Li Luo continued chewing slowly, seemingly not noticing her gaze.

Until Yang Mi was so hungry that she was almost drooling.

He laughed, tore off a strip of beef jerky, and handed it to this guy quietly. In no time, Yang Mi's little face became bulging, and she was so happy her eyes squinted.

"That assistant of yours."

Blocking her mouth with the script, Yang Mi said indistinctly: "She's performing quite well. Actually, for someone acting for the first time, she's already excellent enough."

"Indeed."

Looking at Wang Ou chatting with Wu Yu, Li Luo bit off a piece of beef: "Actually, Xiao Ou is quite spiritual, otherwise I wouldn't have signed her. Thank you for today~"

"Mm-hmm."

Yang Mi chewed happily and continued chatting.

They didn't rest for long.

On-site work continued.

Watching Wang Ou rehearsing for a while, Li Luo got up to change clothes.

Unlike the early plot, he now changed into a gray-black robe, fully displaying a cold, gloomy temperament. Once the wig with strands of gray-white hair was put on, he instantly became much more mature.

"Help me put some stubble on, make the skin tone a bit darker."

Looking in the mirror from left to right, Li Luo started adding details. Acting was certainly important, but external things were also needed to enhance immersion.

Not just for the audience.

It was the same for himself entering the role.

"Is that necessary?"

The makeup artist pointed to the silicone mask hanging to the side and smiled casually: "Anyway, with the mask on, you can't see anything."

"Thank you."

Li Luo smiled more brightly than her.

Looking at those eyes without much of a smile, the makeup artist, who had wanted to be lazy, awkwardly continued to work.

Another half hour passed, and finally, a charming handsome uncle appeared in the mirror. The overall look was impeccable, it was just that his eyes seemed a bit too lively.

Young Yang Guo was his advantage.

In this regard, playing himself would do.

Middle-aged Yang Guo needed acting to bolster it; at least his eyes couldn't be too out of character.

"Thank you."

Thanking the makeup artist again.

Li Luo flicked his sleeves and walked out of the tent, bending over.

Not far ahead, Yang Mi, who had just finished a scene, turned her head inadvertently and happened to see him with a slightly weathered face, gray-white hair brushing across his face in the wind.

Her bright eyes instantly became dazed.

This playful and beautiful little Guo Xiang was infatuated for a moment.

"Hello~"

With light steps, Wang Ou leaped onto the RV: "I'm back!"

"Ta-da!!!"

Looking at Wu Yu busy in the kitchen, she shook the two red bills in her hand happily: "Got today's wages, they gave me two hundred yuan. I'll treat you and Brother Luo to a late-night snack tonight."

She had thought it was a voluntary appearance.

She didn't expect to be notified to collect wages just now, and it was quite a lot.

She smiled until her eyebrows danced.

She couldn't wait to go out and spend it.

"Eat dinner first."

Wu Yu served the beer-braised duck from the pot, unable to help but feel happy for her: "Did you forget Brother Luo has to film night scenes tonight? Treat us another day!"

"No problem!"

Wang Ou felt regretful first, then nodded quickly.

"Swish~"

But the next moment, her hands became empty.

Li Luo, coming from the sofa, nimbly snatched the two brand-new red bills, shaking them with a rustle: "Out of these two hundred yuan, only sixty is yours, the remaining two hundred and forty is mine."

"Sixty yuan, is that enough for a late-night snack?"

Hearing this.

Wang Ou, who turned her head, was instantly dumbfounded.

Wu Yu almost laughed out loud, pursed her lips, and walked over with the dishes.

"Well..."

Wang Ou scratched her head and bloomed with a happy smile again: "If it's not enough, I have savings. Anyway, it's the first time I've earned money for Brother Luo, I think it's still very necessary to celebrate."

Being reminded by the other person.

She suddenly remembered that of the money she earned today, only thirty percent belonged to her.

She couldn't ignore the spirit of the contract just because there was little money!

"Take it!"

Li Luo laughed and patted the two hundred yuan back into her hand: "This time Brother Luo won't take your commission. Keep it well, this is still very commemorative for you."

"Thank you, Brother Luo."

Wang Ou agreed deeply and carefully put the two banknotes into her wallet.

Looking at Li Luo gratefully, she ran to the kitchen nimbly.

Bringing out the prepared dishes one after another.

Sitting at the dining table, the three of them gorged themselves.

Wang Ou excitedly shared her filming experience; today's experience might be insignificant to the boss.

But to her.

It was enough to make her too excited to sleep all night.

After dinner.

The RV roared again, heading straight for the Five-Flower Lake in Jiuzhaigou.

The drama unit and Martial Arts A-Unit had already gathered at this place. They needed to make full preparations for Yang Guo and Shi Xiaolong Maiden to practice the *Jade Maiden Heart Sutra*. Li Luo, who had already worked for more than ten hours, still needed to grit his teeth and persist.

And he wasn't the only one who needed to persist.

As the vehicle stopped.

Li Luo, pushing open the car door, first saw a vast expanse of gorgeous flower sea.

And then.

The crowd busy at work.

"Bigger, expand the range even more."

"Don't be afraid of trouble, I don't want Yang Guo and Shi Xiaolong Maiden to fly out of the flower sea range in two or three moves."

"Find a few more people to plant flowers, the progress is too slow!"

Under Zhang Zhizhong's urging, more than a dozen staff members in the flower sea were constantly planting fake flowers on the ground, quite like transplanting rice seedlings during the busy farming season, quickly dyeing the grass colorful.

The surroundings were also a scene of busyness, with wire equipment raised high.

The crane was being set up.

Tracks, lights, blowers, and other machines were all being deployed to their respective positions in a tight schedule.

It was as chaotic as a construction site.

"Li Luo."

Just as he stopped to watch, Ma Zhongjun walked over quickly and greeted him: "The temperature will be dropping for a while, filming tonight is just right, otherwise Shi Xiaolong Maiden won't be able to take it."

"After all, you both have to wear very thin clothes."

"Work hard and put in some overtime."

"No problem."

Shaking hands with Ma Zhongjun, Li Luo indicated he had no problem.

Amidst the other person's continuous narration of the site layout, he unscrewed his water bottle and drank several large gulps of coffee.

It was also at this time that another RV drove over.

Shi Xiaolong Maiden walked off first, and Liu Qianqian's expression was a bit shy when she met his gaze.

And then Liu Xiaoli.

Thinking of the content to be filmed next, the other person's expression was very depressed.

Seeing this, Li Luo let out a hehe laugh. ===== CHAPTER 244 =====
