Chapter 373
Who knew that by a stroke of luck, Yu Mo would be here.
"Are you getting used to the crew?"
Chen Muci nodded respectfully, his voice slow and deferential.
"Father, everything is fine with the crew, Director Wu even praised me for making progress."
"Then does Director Yu have any opinions about you?"
Chen Muci was startled.
Yu Mo?
What opinions could he have?
He was usually cold to people, with a high-and-mighty attitude that made him very unhappy.
Plus, there was that conversation with Yu Shi.
His expression couldn't hide a trace of gloom.
"No, he just praises me occasionally."
Chen Chen Chen Kaige patted Chen Muci's shoulder hard, and his eyes finally lit up.
"Act well! Strive to let him see you; I want to hear affirmation of you from Yu Mo!"
Although Chen Muci didn't think much of it in his heart, he still nodded fawningly in front of Chen Chen Chen Kaige.
"Father, Senior Watching Watching Reba will definitely come to the dinner tonight, right?"
Chen Chen Chen Kaige rolled his eyes.
What is wrong with this child?
He had started asking when he told him he was coming, and now he was asking again.
Could it be!?
"How many times have I told you! You are not allowed to pursue artists in the entertainment industry; did you just eat my words?"
Although Chen Chen Chen Kaige's voice wasn't loud, one could feel the oppressive majesty.
It made Chen Muci lower his head in a hurry.
"Father, I have always remembered your words."
"That's good! Go get busy; I'm going to talk to Yu Mo so he performs better tonight!"
Chen Muci swallowed hard and replied respectfully:
"Yes!"
Yu Mo was not surprised by Chen Chen Chen Kaige's appearance.
The two met and exchanged a polite, quick handshake.
Director Wu, however, was quite excited.
In this situation, both sides were people he knew, and both were heavyweights, so he had to do a good job of smoothing things over.
"Director Chen! You've come, I failed to welcome you from afar, I failed to welcome you! Director Yu, look, why don't we stop here for now? Let's film again tomorrow!"
After all, Director Chen had arrived.
He couldn't just leave him hanging.
Everyone in the industry knows Director Chen's airs; who would dare make him wait?
Moreover, there had never been a precedent of Director Chen taking the initiative to find anyone.
Who among those wanting to see Director Chen didn't have to take the initiative to visit him?
Even top-tier directors like Feng Kuzi and Zhang Zhang Zhang Yimou had to make an appointment to meet somewhere.
"No need, no need! I came too early, I just wanted to learn a bit; you don't need to worry about me, just treat me like air!"
Chen Chen Chen Kaige leaned his upper body slightly forward, a smile plastered all over his face, his eyes squinting and his mouth never closing.
This!
It seemed a bit humble.
Wu Ershan had never seen Chen Chen Chen Kaige like this, and was so shocked that he stood frozen in place for a moment.
His brain couldn't even turn.
Director Chen... what is going on?
Yu Mo also nodded.
His voice was steady and grand.
"Our schedule is very tight. Director Chen, please wait a moment; we'll chat when we eat after finishing the afternoon scenes."
"Yes, yes, yes, Director Yu, please go ahead, don't mind me. Director Wu? You two get busy, get busy!"
Chen Chen Chen Kaige maintained a blooming smile throughout.
Who knew that this filming would last for four hours.
Wu Ershan didn't dare say anything more and could only arrange for people to take extra care of Chen Chen Chen Kaige.
What is there to see in filming on set?
There was nothing to learn; it was just a pretext for Chen Chen Chen Kaige to curry favor.
There were adjustments, repetitions, and added shots in between.
It dragged on from daytime to evening, and from evening to late night.
After several hours, Chen Chen Chen Kaige's old bones were about to fall apart.
It wasn't until after eight o'clock that Yu Mo stretched his arms and clapped his hands toward the actors.
"Alright, that's it for today, let's keep up the good work tomorrow!!"
Hearing that they were wrapping up, Chen Chen Chen Kaige immediately rushed over.
"Director Yu, your filming is truly different. I have been learning and observing the whole time; this experience is extremely rare and precious to me! I am thrice lucky to be able to learn from you..."
Not far away, Chen Muci watched his father's magical behavior in confusion.
His brain was also a mess.
"What is wrong with my dad?"
"His attitude toward Yu Mo is way too humble!"
"This demon Yu Mo actually made my dad, an old man, wait for three or four hours, and he could still film with peace of mind?"
"He's trying to force himself to death!"
"According to my dad's temper, he would definitely use his connections to mess him up hard!"
Chen Muci performed a series of analyses.
Afterward, he pulled Yu Shi to the booked restaurant.
There weren't many people this time; they didn't invite the whole crew.
Yu Mo brought Watching Watching Reba, Wu Ershan brought Na Ran, plus Chen Chen Chen Kaige, Chen Muci, and Yu Shi.
At the dinner table, Chen Muci performed very promptly, helping to serve dishes, pour tea, and warm up the atmosphere in various ways.
It must be said that although Chen Muci was careful and respectful in front of Chen Chen Chen Kaige, he could say very nice things.
First, he expressed his self-improvement within the crew, credited the care of his colleagues and directors, and then gave high praise to his colleagues, which made everyone present very satisfied.
Especially when talking about Watching Watching Reba, he wanted to blow her up to the heavens.
This time, Chen Chen Chen Kaige didn't give Chen Muci a warning look.
From the moment he entered the private room, his eyes never left Yu Mo, as if his pair of eyes were born specifically for Yu Mo.
"The people brought up by Director Yu are absolutely first-class, whether it's their image, temperament, or professional level, they are completely top-tier!"
Chen Chen Chen Kaige immediately followed up.
Flattering the people around Yu Mo is equivalent to flattering Yu Mo.
Chen Chen Chen Kaige understood this little logic very well.
Wu Ershan also followed up.
"Indeed, there aren't many actors as dedicated as Watching Watching Reba; I am deeply honored by this collaboration."
With things said to this point, Watching Watching Reba's face turned red.
She picked up her wine glass and stood up.
"Thank you for the directors' affirmation. I will continue to work hard and not let everyone's expectations down. I toast this cup to the two seniors! You are both role models I need to learn from!"
After saying this, Watching Watching Reba finished a small glass of red wine.
