Chapter 9: Silently...
"Attention everyone, filming will begin in five minutes!"
At the assistant director's command, the entire crew got to work.
Lighting, sound recording, actors, makeup, and costumes were all making the most of the last five minutes to prepare, as no one wanted their part to have a problem later.
While undergoing the makeup and styling team's inspection, Li Mo silently memorized her lines for the next moment.
The crew has been filming for five days now. In order to coordinate the schedules of the other actors in the crew, they started by filming group scenes.
The advantage of ensemble scenes is that Li Mo doesn't need to show much, so the pressure of acting is less, since he's a newcomer.
The downside is that you can't afford to make mistakes; if you do, everyone has to start over.
"Scene 7, Shot 1, get set..."
This scene depicts the dissatisfaction of the senior and junior disciples of Tianyong City towards Ling Yue and Fu Qu for always protecting Tu Su.
He then became jealous and wanted to teach Tu Su a lesson, eventually bringing the matter to the headmaster.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother..."
"It's hot, isn't it? Something's wrong with your emotions. Fuqu has a crush on Ling Yue, she wasn't forced. Don't scream like that!"
After several takes, Li Mo, who was waiting in the wings, couldn't stand it anymore and quickly found an opportunity to go to Reba's side and said in a low voice:
"You're Fuqu now, don't let your Dilraba-like emotions get in here, just give a good performance!"
Li Mo's words were a departure from his usual style, spoken with a strong tone, but Reba merely pouted and said:
"What's with the attitude!"
She then obediently did as she was told, clearly taking Li Mo's words to heart.
"Please consider this is Tu Su's first offense and show leniency..."
Li Mo bowed his head, clasped his hands, and pleaded for Tu Su's life in a sincere tone.
"Cut! Ready to serve the food!"
The whole place erupted in cheers; finally, they could rest and eat the crew's boxed lunches.
As usual, Li Mo collected the special boxed lunches provided by the production team and delivered them over. The purpose of doing so was actually quite simple.
It's a habit to be kind to others and to get on the director's good side; it saves a lot of trouble on set.
"Director Luo, how have I been performing these past two days? Could you please give me some pointers?"
Li Mo put down his food while chatting with Director Luo.
"You do lack experience and make some common mistakes for newcomers, but your willingness to learn and your rapid progress is commendable. However, the real test will come when you have individual scenes. Keep it up!"
Director Luo's assessment is very objective; without any external intervention, this is the inevitable outcome.
Afterwards, Director Luo didn't waste Li Mo's time bringing him food; he started explaining the scene to the monitor.
"Blue Lotus..."
A very loud call notification rang. Reba, who was eating, picked up her phone without thinking much and was about to answer when the call was disconnected.
Reba wanted to check who had called, but when she unlocked her screen, a news article was displayed.
[On the impact of rumors surrounding "My Fair Princess" on Zhou Jie...]
"Hey sis, where's my phone? Can you see it?"
While watching the news, Dilraba realized that this wasn't her phone, so she quickly held it up and gestured to Yang Chaoyue.
"Ah, here it is!"
Then I went to the toilet, and there was a little GG sticker on the toilet door.
[The truth behind Wang Jie's poisoning is surprisingly...?]
Then I looked at the script, and there was a newspaper covering it. The newspaper read:
[Andy Lau was assassinated? But what happened?]
When it came to the makeup and styling, even the makeup artists were chatting about things like Uncle Benshan denying that he had 20 tons of gold and Yang Mi's smelly feet.
All of these incidents point to one thing: the terrifying nature of rumors.
Rumors, rumors, misbelief, and misunderstandings—after this series of transformations, rumors eventually leave a deep imprint on the brain.
This classic psychological suggestion technique had a huge impact on Dilraba.
It is unaffected by subjective consciousness, nourishing things silently like a drizzle.
A thought suddenly popped into Reba's mind: was the reason Li Mo didn't come to explain to her because he was also angry that she had believed the rumors?
"Ugh, dating is so hard! It's always so hard to guess..."
While Dilraba was getting her makeup done, Yang Chaoyue stood at the door of another dressing room.
"Is the lynx there? I'm a female leopard!"
"Yes." A helpless voice came from inside the room.
"Lynx, I strongly request that you give me a raise. This job is too hard. I have to keep an eye on where Sister Bar goes, prepare materials in advance, and also..."
Li Mo looked at Yang Chaoyue, who was complaining, and quickly covered her mouth, asking directly:
"How's the result?"
"I think it's great. Sister Ba has started searching for information about the dangers of rumors herself."
That's pretty much it. It's time to wrap things up. We have to complete the mission. Li Mo needs a cheat code now!
"Alright, the female leopard can continue to lie in wait. The lynx has to go film a movie."
"What about the salary?"
"The wind is too strong, I can't hear you!"
Yang Chaoyue: ...Where did the wind come from in the room?
After a day of filming, ever since Dilraba brought Yang Chaoyue into the room, Yang Chaoyue had gone from being Li Mo's assistant to Dilraba's assistant.
The two spent every day together, ate together, and even slept with Yang Chaoyue cuddling Reba.
After all, the soft and fragrant Reba is more comfortable to hug than a large doll, which is a perk of Yang Chaoyue's job.
"A leap forward? A leap forward?"
After the performance, Dilraba suddenly realized that Yang Chaoyue had disappeared. She assumed that the girl must have gone back to her room first, so she looked around and searched for her after returning to her room.
"Don't bother looking anymore, I executed that girl for treason." Li Mo walked out with a grin.
As soon as Reba saw Li Mo, he immediately understood what had happened. He must have forced Yang Chaoyue to open the door for him.
So they tried to kick him out, but with Reba's little strength, how could he possibly move Li Mo? Li Mo stood there like a wooden stake.
"We can't stay like this forever. Let's talk things out. At worst, we'll just be colleagues and forget about each other after filming!"
"Go tell your 8fei group if you want to, I don't want to hear it."
Dilraba's eyes and brows still held a hint of anger, making her appear cold.
"Fine, I'll leave then. But if you're affected by this again, I'll tell Director Luo that you're not acting well because we're dating. See how annoying I am."
It looks like only one of us can stay. Director Luo, do you want to keep you or me?
"How could you be so mean?"
"Thank you for the compliment."
Li Mo didn't refute at all. Before he could even begin to explain, he directly dialed Zhang Yunlong's number.
Ever since Li Mo played Ling Yue, Zhang Yunlong has had to run up to Li Mo whenever he sees him, and he has to lower his drinking cup by three inches.
"Hello, this is Li Mo."
"Brother Mo, why are you calling me...?"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm just asking you, at that party we went to the other day, didn't I eat the most and say the least?"
"Oh yes, but..."
Li Mo hung up the phone immediately, but then said to Reba with a sincere expression, "You know what I was like before the drinking party."
"As you know now, on the day of the drinking party, besides eating eight lobsters, I didn't speak to any of the eight people. How could I be 'eight-few'?"
"So how did you manage to take down Ling Yue?"
This is also the most puzzling point for Reba, and the most inexplicable aspect of the entire rumor.
"It was Huanrui! Huanrui cast me. Sister Mi gave me an audition opportunity because of that drinking party, and then Huanrui took a liking to me."
Didn't you see that I didn't sit with anyone from Jaywalk Studio at the crew's dinner that day?
The story is now quite clear: Li Mo was seen by Sister Mi at a drinking party and given an audition opportunity. Li Mo lived up to expectations and was noticed by Huanrui, which aroused the jealousy of others, who then started spreading rumors.
"Mo Mo..." Reba felt very sorry for Li Mo and said in a coquettish tone.
"I've explained everything that needed explaining. As for the rest—whether they're colleagues or whatever—I don't care anymore. Goodbye!"
When Li Mo didn't want to leave, Reba couldn't push him away; when Li Mo wanted to leave, Reba didn't even have time to stop him.
Li Mo wanted to take this opportunity to correct her habit of blindly believing everything she heard.
To avoid future scandals and headaches!
