Chapter 51: Reba visits the set, watching Zhou Jin and Yang Mi

~8 min read 1,485 words

Zhou Jin is afraid that if Nazha continues, Yang Mi behind the curtains will be exposed.

He immediately says a few more words and sends Nazha away.

After Nazha leaves, Yang Mi walks out from behind the curtains.

At this moment, because she was too panicked, Yang Mi's clothes are disheveled, her underwear buttons are half-fastened, and a large area of snowy skin is exposed.

Anyway, she would know sooner or later.

Moreover, Yang Mi doesn't take these things that seriously; she even thought in her heart that Zhou Jin, this scumbag, might as well just be a total scumbag and lie to her about everything.

At that time, she knows her own character, and after being deceived, she would have a legitimate reason and excuse to leave Zhou Jin.

But thinking about this situation, Yang Mi feels a bit reluctant.

"Sister Mi." Zhou Jin speaks awkwardly.

"Stop..."

Yang Mi makes a pause gesture: "I don't care about that little girl Reba's business, I said, I won't interfere with any of your affairs, as long as..."

"As long as I don't lie to you?" Zhou Jin tentatively adds the second half of the sentence.

Yang Mi smiles lightly, shakes her head, looks at Zhou Jin, and smiles charmingly: "As long as you keep me well-fed, I don't care about these things."

Zhou Jin hugs Yang Mi's waist, feeling moved, and kisses her on the cheek.

"Wow! Sister Mi, you are so good."

Yang Mi smiles lightly.

When it comes to handling men, she is ten streets ahead of those two little girls, Reba and Nazha.

Nazha also has her own business and soon leaves the set.

And "Breakup Master" continues to be filmed in an orderly manner.

Today's scene is considered the most difficult one in the movie.

This scene is about Ye Xiaochun, played by Yang Mi, finding out that Zhou Jin's identity is the Breakup Master, breaking up with him, and then being captured by the Master's people.

Then, the protagonist played by Zhou Jin follows behind the van, mistakenly thinking that Lao Liu is going to kill Ye Xiaochun.

So he challenges Lao Liu to a one-on-one fight.

Lao Liu beats Zhou Jin up.

And the main highlight of this scene, besides the comedy, is the most important, most brilliant, and most difficult part: the crying scene of Yang Mi seeing Zhou Jin being beaten up to save her.

The actor playing Lao Liu looks at Zhou Jin cautiously and says:

"Teacher Zhou Jin, when we fight later, for the sake of realism, you might get a little hurt, should we use a stunt double?"

Zhou Jin shakes his head with a smile: "It's okay, no need for a stunt double, the effect would be too poor, too fake, and I'm not that fragile."

Hearing Zhou Jin's words, the actor playing Lao Liu breathes a sigh of relief.

Deng Chao hears this and pats Zhou Jin heavily on the shoulder.

As a film director, his core demand is to make the movie well.

During this time, the first thing is Zhou Jin's acting, which greatly exceeded his expectations.

What exceeded his expectations even more is Zhou Jin's talent for the abstract.

Originally just ordinary plot points, under Zhou Jin's interpretation, they seem very funny.

Now, being willing to get hurt rather than use a stunt double, this professional attitude makes Deng Chao's favorability increase significantly.

On the other side.

The prop team hands Yang Mi eye drops: "Teacher Yang Mi, these are eye drops, if you can't cry later, you can use some."

"Mm." Yang Mi nods.

She doesn't need eye drops anymore.

After filming officially starts.

Yang Mi slightly enters the character of Ye Xiaochun, she and Zhou Jin broke up because of a misunderstanding.

No, thinking like this doesn't have much immersion, Yang Mi continues to let her mind wander, thinking about Zhou Jin becoming more and more popular, meeting more and more female stars, and becoming colder and colder to her.

She takes the initiative to find Zhou Jin, and he even avoids her.

Thinking of this, Yang Mi feels a sourness in her nose, her eyes redden, and she stares blankly at Zhou Jin being "beaten up" by Lao Liu, tears streaming down one by one.

In front of the monitor, Deng Chao sees Yang Mi's acting and crying scene and shouts in surprise.

"Cut."

"Good, this part is too good!"

"Yang Mi, your emotions are too good."

To be honest, Deng Chao knows Yang Mi has filmed movies before.

But after all, she mainly films TV dramas, and the acting style for TV dramas is different from movies.

Even some TV drama Best Actors have a lot of awkwardness when filming movies.

Similarly, movie Best Actors have some awkwardness when filming TV dramas.

Best Actors with very good acting skills have awkwardness, let alone a Flower Dan like Yang Mi whose acting skills can only be described as passing.

Deng Chao didn't even have much hope for Yang Mi's acting skills.

Inviting Yang Mi to be the lead was just to increase the movie's popularity and trick more people into the cinema.

But Yang Mi's crying scene gave him too big of a surprise.

Next, filming becomes much simpler.

And the progress has also accelerated a lot.

Because both Yang Mi and Zhou Jin have a common thing that requires them to leave.

That is the promotion of "Swords of Legends".

"Swords of Legends" is not far from airing, and to build up the hype, they must go on variety shows to stir up popularity.

"Breakup Master" crew.

The last scene of the wrap.

It is also the grand finale of the movie, Ye Xiaochun disappears for a year, Zhou Jin founds the Reunion Master, and makes up with Ye Xiaochun.

Of course, there was no kiss scene originally.

But Yang Mi "threatened" Zhou Jin in the middle of the night.

Demanding that Zhou Jin ask the director Deng Chao to add a kiss scene.

Zhou Jin's leverage is in Yang Mi's hands, so he naturally has to agree.

At this moment, the prop team is setting up the scene.

Deng Chao looks at Zhou Jin and says regretfully: "It's a pity, I'm planning to participate in a variety show that is currently in preparation, it's an introduction of a variety show that is already very popular in the Peninsula."

"It's just that this variety show won't air until October."

"Your 'Swords of Legends' airs in July, it's too late to help you promote it."

Deng Chao is indeed very regretful.

He really wants to become true friends with Zhou Jin, not to mention Yang Mi, one of the Four Little Flower Dans, who is in full swing and incredibly popular.

Although Zhou Jin hasn't had a single show air yet, his looks and acting skills are too top-tier.

Even someone short-sighted knows Zhou Jin will definitely explode in popularity; as the director of this movie, he can see it even more clearly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up the lead role.

Zhou Jin hears Deng Chao's words and also remembers.

The variety show Deng Chao mentioned should be "Keep Running".

This variety show is very, very successful in the country, and along with the later "Go Fighting!", they belong to the kind of phenomenal reality variety shows that are as popular as can be.

In those years, there were almost no young people who hadn't watched these two variety shows.

This shows how great the influence is.

Yang Mi smiles and says: "The promotional effect of variety shows like 'Happy Camp' is also very good, plus some other promotional methods, it is estimated that it can stir up quite a bit of heat."

Zhou Jin nods upon hearing this.

Of course, among these promotional variety shows, the one with the greatest influence and the most usefulness is naturally "Happy Camp".

"Happy Camp" is one of the longest-running and most influential variety shows before "Keep Running", "Go Fighting!", and "The Voice of China".

Almost every major hit TV series, before airing, would go to "Happy Camp" for promotion like a fixed NPC.

"Swords of Legends" is naturally no exception.

Zhou Jin's phone rings.

It's a call from Reba, and Zhou Jin walks out to answer it.

"Brother Jin, is it the last scene?"

"Yes, it is indeed the last scene, after this scene is filmed, this movie can be considered wrapped, I remember you also said you wanted to visit the set, but everyone was too busy."

He and Yang Mi are rushing the progress here to prepare for promotion, and Reba is the same.

So the set visit Reba originally promised didn't happen.

After Reba hangs up the phone, she puts down her phone and stands outside the "Breakup Master" crew with a smile.

"Give Brother Jin and Sister Mi a surprise." ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
