Chapter 530: Relationship Issues

"Director Luo!" Tang Shiyu suddenly called out while Luo Mo was going to check the effect of the take just now.

After Luo Mo turned his head back, this woman with exquisite features and extreme beauty smiled at him, then held up a thumb.

Luo Mo smiled and waved his hand, then went off to watch it on his own.

What others thought of this take didn't count in his book.

He had to see it for himself for it to count.

After watching it, Luo Mo felt that it was good overall; he just needed to reshoot one shot each for himself and Wang Rong.

"No problem, this take is a pass!" Luo Mo said.

Once these words were spoken, no one felt that Luo Mo was being strict with others but lenient with himself.

No flaws meant no flaws; acting well meant acting well.

Wang Rong also walked over at this moment.

Tang Shiyu, who had been quietly standing behind Luo Mo like a little handmaiden, immediately said softly, "Producer Wang."

Wang Rong nodded at her, then also took a look at the camera, saying half-sincerely and half-flatteringly, "Director Luo, with you doing things this way, I'm under a lot of pressure acting with you!"

"Cut it out." Luo Mo wouldn't take it seriously.

If one were to say others were under pressure, that was true. With Wang Rong's experience and acting skills, he certainly had no problem.

The entire afternoon was filled with Luo Mo's scenes.

Some who had no work today had already left, while others were still watching from the sidelines, such as Tang Shiyu.

In today's Drama, there was no place that required Luo Mo to show off his acting skills.

Therefore, the focus was nothing more than details, fluidity, and naturalness.

Over the course of several hours, the retention rate of the footage was quite high, and the film crew's shooting efficiency was also very high.

It was obvious that Luo Mo personally stepping in could play a positive role.

And when it reached mealtime, everyone took a short break.

The crew members ate boxed lunches; the taste was good and the dishes were rich. Luo Mo would not treat everyone poorly when it came to eating.

Wang Rong was also holding a boxed lunch while eating, and even deliberately went in front of Luo Mo to smack his lips while holding a chicken leg.

Luo Mo, on the other hand, ate the food prepared by the nutritionist and really wanted to kick this fat man Wang Rong flying.

Tang Shiyu sat down beside Luo Mo with her own lunch box and said, "It seems that only I and Director Luo are pitiful in the crew."

She opened her lunch box; the food inside was only slightly better than Luo Mo's, with things like broccoli, looking like it had no flavor at all.

While struggling to eat, Luo Mo said to this young starlet, "Are you still going to practice Dancing tonight?"

"Yes, tonight is the last lesson," Tang Shiyu replied.

In the movie, the Liu Sihui she played was a hostess at a nightclub, and there was a scene of her Pole Dancing.

To be precise, she made her entrance in the movie while Pole Dancing.

On Earth, Tan Zhuo practiced dancing for about a month to perform this segment well.

Tang Shiyu had a foundation in dance, her body was exceptionally flexible, and things like doing the splits were child's play.

The practice cycle could be shortened, but it still had to be practiced.

After all, she didn't know how to do Pole Dancing before, nor did she understand how to use dance moves to act seductively.

Luo Mo nodded and said, "Practice well, thank you for your hard work."

Tang Shiyu took a light bite of broccoli with her small mouth. Luo Mo looked at her and really wanted to ask, "The way you eat is very pretty; have you practiced it?"

In reality, it was indeed the case; many actresses' every frown and smile, and many small movements, were deliberately practiced.

She met Luo Mo's gaze, swallowed, and then said, "Director Luo, do you have any Requirement for this... dance scene? Um, dance scene?"

"Naturally, the more beautiful and alluring, the better. It would be best if all male audience members couldn't help but swallow their saliva after watching it."

"All of them?" Tang Shiyu asked meaningfully.

"All of them." Luo Mo lowered his head to continue struggling with his dinner.

Wang Rong, acting like a partner in crime on the side, said, "I'll make a suggestion. Shiyu, for this scene of yours, you can dance it for Director Luo first to let him check it over. If it's not up to standard, find the teacher to practice more. Otherwise, doing it over and over on set isn't great either. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Mo only felt that Wang Rong was too experienced.

He definitely hadn't acted as a wingman for others any less.

He continued to lower his head to finish his meal, saying, "No need to dance it specifically; just have the teacher who taught you today record a video."

Luo Mo glanced at Tang Shiyu and inexplicably felt that she seemed a bit... eager to try?

………

………

Night fell, and the crew had to shoot a few night scenes.

Tang Shiyu went to take her last Pole Dancing lesson.

Honestly, she had been very tired practicing dance during this period; her skin had been rubbed raw in many places, and there was a bruise on her thigh from a bump.

A few days ago, she even landed on her butt; it was so painful.

If it were in another crew, she would certainly have had thousands of grievances in her heart for making such a huge sacrifice for such an "erotic scene."

The fact that this kind of scene with a slightly larger scale was a sacrifice in itself, and she even had to practice extra!

But because this was Luo Mo's crew, she had no regrets.

Only, before asking the teacher to record the video of the final result for her, she specifically covered the bruise on her leg with black silk stockings.

She felt that sending her bruised legs to Director Luo just like that was truly a bit unsightly.

After filming, she wanted to apply a filter to the video, but later thought better of it, striving for authenticity so as not to mislead the director's judgment.

She was just about to send it to Luo Mo's WeChat when she suddenly changed her mind.

Honestly, sending this kind of video that leaned towards an erotic dance to a man was indeed a bit shameful.

But as an Actor, her capacity to endure in this regard was quite strong; she was someone who could play niche little games... no, she was a mature Actor.

She was just thinking about putting the video on her phone, then finding an opportunity when the two were alone to sit beside him and play it for him to see.

"Tang Shiyu, you seem to be going a bit crazy," she said to herself.

Yet she had no intention of changing her mind.

The crew of *Dying to Survive* was currently filming in full swing. Meanwhile, in the outside world, this week's *Reset* had updated to the twelfth episode.

The episode updated yesterday revealed part of the background of Pot Aunt and the driver, and also let the male lead and female lead know that she had the ability to make bombs herself.

In today's new episode, a new character appeared—the two's daughter, Wang Mengmeng.

This girl was the one who, on that bus, demanded to get off halfway, and after getting off, suffered a traffic accident and lost her life on the cross-river bridge.

This was equivalent to informing the audience of the two's motives, and why they wanted to detonate a bomb on the bridge.

At the same time, the death of Wang Mengmeng was equivalent to becoming a new suspense.

This episode could also be said to be an episode where Officer Zhang, played by Zhou Tong, shone brightly.

Li Shiqing asked him: "Officer Zhang, if one day you received a text message from a stranger saying that there is a bomb on a bus, it will explode in 20 minutes, and they need your help, would you believe her and immediately dispatch police?"

Officer Zhang said without hesitation: "I would dispatch police without hesitation."

"Would you not think it's a prank or a false police report?"

"We would definitely ferret him out and make him bear the corresponding legal responsibility. But if this matter is true, our dispatch could save the lives of a whole bus of people, right?"

"I believe that not only me, but all my colleagues would make this choice; this is also the meaning of us being police."

A seemingly simple sentence made the Drama at the end of the entire episode even more moving.

This time, they successfully intercepted the bus and removed the bomb.

Officer Zhang clearly had an injured hand, yet he still rushed to the front regardless of his own safety, holding onto the heavy pressure cooker, and then, amidst the ringtone of *Canon*, threw it off the bridge.

The pressure cooker exploded in mid-air, and amidst the sound of *Canon*, Officer Zhang was blown beyond recognition!

The continuously high-energy Drama made the audience's emotions rise and fall.

However, they would have to wait bitterly for another week.

Next week, *Reset* would add episodes, broadcasting the final three episodes in full.

The grand finale that Luo Mo had magically adapted was also finally going to meet the audience.

After the crew finished work, Luo Mo dragged his exhausted body, got into his own nanny van, and headed to the crew's hotel.

In the car, he put on his earphones and had a video call with Xu Chujing.

"You're very tired today, right? You look a bit haggard," Xu Chujing said.

"It's alright, the haggard look is because I put on sick makeup," Luo Mo said with a smile.

If there wasn't a driver in the car, he definitely would have added: "Don't you know how vigorous my energy is?"

After arriving at the hotel, he took the elevator back to his room while still on the video call.

After walking out of the elevator, he smiled and said to Xu Chujing on the video: "The signal wasn't good in the elevator just now."

Then, he was slightly stunned.

Tang Shiyu, who was standing at the door of his room, was also stunned.

She had only come to wait for Luo Mo after seeing the message that work had finished in the crew's group chat and timing it just right.

But she never expected that what she would wait for was Luo Mo in the middle of a video call.

Tang Shiyu immediately raised her phone, signaling that she would send a WeChat later to explain the situation, and then ran away in a flash without a sound.

Luo Mo looked at her Back Shadow as she fled in a panic, and continued to video chat with Xu Chujing as if nothing had happened.

After a while, he received an explanation sent by Tang Shiyu, saying she brought the video to show him and to ask for advice on a few questions in the script.

Luo Mo had indeed heard of the legendary 【Nightlight Script】.

It was just that what he encountered this time was a 【Nightlight Script】 plus an 【Indoor Pole Dancing Show】.

Who knows, maybe it wasn't just Pole Dancing, but both at once.

After hanging up the video with Xu Chujing, he went to the bathroom and took a cold shower.

The next day, the crew's filming proceeded as normal.

Wang Rong suddenly remembered that there was an update of *Director Show* tonight.

In fact, he also had to go to Hangzhou tomorrow to record *Director Show*.

He had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Because *Dying to Survive* was about Medicine.

*Send You a Little Red Flower* was also about Medicine.

If the final response was good enough, it could also count as a kind of alternative pre-movie promotion.

The effect this could have might be huge!

But it just so happened that in this program, everyone was a director, and Luo Mo was his opponent.

His anticipation for *Send You a Little Red Flower* far exceeded the short film he had shot himself.

"What a perverted psychology," Wang Rong felt he had failed the contestants in his own camp; I am guilty.

At eight o'clock in the evening, *Director Show* officially updated!

(PS: Second update, begging for monthly tickets!)
