Chinese entertainment: Top stars start with group broadcasts

"Shen Mo, I was wrong!"

"Stay away from me, you're too ruthless."

Shen Mo completely ignored Zhang Miaoyi's adorable tongue-out gesture; in his eyes, it was the smile of a little devil.

"It was uncontrollable!"

Zhang Miaoyi's face flushed slightly, her delicate appearance belying her lewd words.

"Fine, I'll just return it to you!"

"Give it back to me?" Shen Mo's expression froze, and his eyes subconsciously moved downwards.

Zhang Miaoyi immediately realized she had said the wrong thing, and her already pink face turned bright red in an instant.

"I...I mean, I'll treat you to some grilled skewers!"

"I'll treat you tonight, hehe..."

Please!

Actually, she's two years older than him, but she looks like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

Shen Mo shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

"Teacher Shen, Teacher Zhang, get ready to film."

Shen Mo was speechless at the entertainment industry's habit of calling everyone "teacher."

"Remember, you owe me a barbecue."

The two returned to the film set.

"Insolence! Guards, seize him!"

"No, no, if I do that again, it'll turn into a nightmare!"

Perhaps it was because they were both young, or perhaps it was because of the little incident earlier, but the two, who were originally just colleagues, felt more like friends.

When they started acting together, they became much more relaxed.

Zhang Miaoyi immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty!" Han Jiahui, playing the role of a maid, exclaimed in astonishment.

Zhang Miaoyi turned around and smiled, her confident expression making Shen Mo want to laugh.

Sure enough, her quiet demeanor was just a facade; her true nature was to be a goofball.

Goodbye!

After finishing her lines, Zhang Miaoyi didn't hesitate and rammed her head against a pillar.

"Click!"

"Miaoyi, that was too fake! Do it again!"

Goodbye!

"No! Did you feel that headache and dizziness after you hit the pillar?"

"No way! It's not funny! This is a comedy, it has to be funny!"

"Miaoyi, try to get into the groove again. Shenmo, let's reshoot a couple more shots."

After a while, after Shen Mo finished filming the close-up shot of Zhang Miaoyi sitting and reading, Zhang Miaoyi was still banging her head against the pillar.

We had to do seven or eight takes, and this guy was starting to question his existence.

"You need to hold back a bit. Even though it's a prop, it will still hurt if you actually hit it."

Zhang Miaoyi turned around and glared at him.

"You're laughing at me, you're so disloyal!"

"Ha! You're ungrateful! I came here to teach you because I saw you were in such a bad state."

"You? Teach me? Dude, are you serious?"

Zhang Miaoyi's tone was disdainful, but her expression didn't reflect that at all; it was more like two close friends joking with each other.

Shen Mo didn't care.

"When you crash into it, control the rhythm of your body and use a burst of force to pull your body back."

"If it's for comedic effect, when you bump into someone, your eyes can suddenly widen, roll back, or you can make an extremely surprised, 'stunned' expression."

"Or squint your eyes a little, that silly and cute feeling, like you've been hit and are dizzy."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Zhang Miaoyi swallowed hard, finding it hard to believe.

"Is this how you all act in your short dramas?"

"what!"

"Are you sure this will pass? What about the director...?"

"Don't worry, his demands aren't that high."

Shen Mo smiled, full of confidence.

The underlying tone of a drama determines the level of an actor's performance.

No matter how much you praise this show, even to the skies, it's still a short drama.

The core can never be the embodiment of performance level.

"Okay! I'll trust you this once."

"Two meals!"

"What two meals?" Zhang Miaoyi asked, puzzled.

"Barbecue!"

"Damn it, you traitor Cao Cao, you deserve to die!"

……

Sure enough, after shamefully accepting Shen Mo's suggestion, the scene of hitting the pillar was filmed in one take.

Zhang Miaoyi even wondered which of the two was the veteran actor.

Shen Mo was filming day and night, and the plot was moving very fast, basically filming three or four episodes a day.

The main reason is that the actors are all experienced. Even the maids and servants have acted in several dramas, and some have even played the male and female leads in short dramas.

In addition, this drama is entirely focused on character design and doesn't demand much from the actors' performances.

In his spare time, Shen Mo would handle Qingtian's affairs remotely.

"After the Breakup" is thriving on Kuaishou.

Compared to the over-the-top, cool, and awesome style of "Project Gutenberg," "After the Breakup" clearly has a wider audience, with daily recharges currently reaching four million.

The current situation of Sunny Day Films is that it is very poor, but very profitable.

"Mmm? It smells so good!"

Shen Mo sniffed, and a strangely familiar fragrance wafted over.

What followed was Wang Shuai's furious roar.

"Click!"

"What are you doing? Get moving!"

"Click!"

"Assistant director, where did you find this guy? What's he doing standing here like a block of wood?"

"Click!"

"Get moving! Get busy, you're blocking the camera's position."

Snapped!

"This scene can't be filmed anymore, screenwriter. Change this scene, we're not filming it!"

On set, not a single director was in a good mood.

When Shen Mo wasn't in a good position these past two days, he kept his distance.

Screenwriter Li ran over in a panic, looked around, and seemed somewhat at a loss.

The props and costumes are all ready, but the person isn't right. How do I fix that?

"What are you waiting for? Adjust your strategy!"

Seeing the assistant director standing there dumbfounded, screenwriter Li panicked and quickly pulled the extras and assistant director, including Zhang Miaoyi, together.

Shen Mo looked on, but his nose was sniffing in the other direction.

At the far end of the horizon, a steaming hot pot was bubbling away.

A sudden inspiration struck me.

"Is it possible that it's because of hot pot!"

Upon hearing his voice, Li Dahong was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up instantly.

"Sure, Brother Mo, I owe you a favor for this."

It's almost lunchtime, but judging from the progress of this play, lunchtime will obviously be delayed.

This is perfectly normal for actors.

But he overlooked one group.

Extras!

For extras, they get paid by the day and eat at set times.

With that bubbling hot pot next to you, wafting its delicious aroma, who the hell has the time or inclination to put on an act for you?

"Let's change this scene. Miaoyi, you can just eat hot pot in the Cold Palace, and actually eat it on set."

"This is... awesome!"

Zhang Miaoyi almost doubted if there was something wrong with her ears.

She felt like she hadn't had hot pot in ages.

Her eyes were brimming with tears.

Come on, let's get moving!

After a lot of troubleshooting, I restarted the computer.

This time, the extras were clearly more motivated.

"Stop busying yourselves, let's eat together!"

Zhang Miaoyi called out loudly, and the Cold Palace erupted in cheers.

You pick up a slice of potato, I blanch a slice of beef, it's so lively!

In the dead of winter, what could be more appealing than a hot pot meal?

If so, it would be eating hot pot with the director and the camera during filming.

Li Dahong sat next to Wang Shuai.

This time, the filming went exceptionally smoothly. Not only Zhang Miaoyi, but even the "palace maids and eunuchs" in the Cold Palace were working enthusiastically and full of energy.

"That's it! That's the feeling!"

"Old Li, that's impressive! How did you come up with that idea?"

Wang Shuai was somewhat excited.

Although there were some minor hiccups along the way, the overall result was very good, and at this pace, the filming could be completed ahead of schedule.

"It wasn't my idea; Shen Mo reminded me."

Wang Shuai was surprised.

"If I remember correctly, he was the one who suggested cutting the kissing and sex scenes, right?"

Screenwriter Li nodded.

"Yeah! The overall feel is definitely much better after the changes. This kid is not only a great actor, but also a promising screenwriter."

Wang Shuai wholeheartedly agreed.

I originally thought she was just a short drama actor, but who knew she would be so amazing.

Almost all of Shen Mo's scenes are filmed in one take, even outdoor action scenes, which is impressive.

He had even spoken with the director of the video editing software before.

A strict leader, when talking about Shen Mo, his eyes would light up like a wolf seeing meat.

He learned the action moves that the action director taught him almost after watching the demonstration once, and even modified a few moves later.

The effect was even more beautiful than the original movement.

"This kid is a bit strange!"

"Hmm! That's weird!"

The two exchanged a glance and nodded repeatedly.

"Now I'm just hoping that Teacher Jiang will outdo him and make him do a lot of retakes."

"That kid, he has no manners at all."

Upon hearing this, screenwriter Li felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at Director Wang, who was still chuckling.
