Chapter 8: Bed Scene?
Chapter 8: Bed Scene?
Star Village.
A Wuling Hongguang Mini picked up Shen Mo.
"My name is Liu Qing, and I'm the director of this drama. Don't be nervous, just listen to my instructions."
"Okay! I'll definitely try my best."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qing's lips unconsciously curled up slightly.
It's still a fledgling!
Newcomers need not worry, her looks and figure are too good to pass up.
With a little training, the effect will be far superior to topaz.
I handed him the script, my eyes were on the road, but my mind was constantly rehearsing the filming process.
This kid clearly doesn't know how to perform; I'll teach him a couple of times later.
She has a good figure; she should be fine as the female lead.
The facial expressions definitely need to be worked on several times.
The progress is estimated to be a day or two slower.
Damn it! You son of a bitch, don't let the topaz fall into my hands.
"Read the script first, and ask me immediately if there's anything you don't understand."
"OK."
Shen Mo has never acted before; he only came because of the money.
joke!
He would have quit his job as a live streamer to go all in on acting if he weren't timid, since he only earned 2,000 yuan a day.
Are all these short drama actors making this much money?
Indeed, men are afraid of choosing the wrong career!
However, he quickly frowned.
Script: After the breakup, I married my ex-boss!
Episode 1
On Lin Xueyao's birthday, Song Yuan made warm decorations and called to invite his friends to his wedding a week later.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xueyao went home.
……
Lin Xueyao: Xiao Nianchen just got back and bought a huge apartment in the CBD. That's a height you could never reach even after a lifetime of coding. (She sneers, moves closer to the male lead, and strokes his shirt.) So what? Let's not contact each other anymore. I don't want Xiao Nianchen to misunderstand.
Song Yuan (in his heart): Five years of living together day and night still can't compare to my first love. A woman who changes her heart is like a stinky rag (sneer), she should be thrown away.
(The male lead puts on his shoes and leaves. Lin Xueyao turns around in astonishment, her expression one of disbelief.)
Lin Xueyao: You...you're leaving already? Don't you have anything to say?
Song Yuan: (Sighs) Happy birthday (goes out).
Lin Xueyao: (Furious) As expected, he didn't love me that much in these five years! When I broke up with him, shouldn't he have cried his eyes out and knelt down to beg me? Why didn't he react at all! What a jerk!
I called my best friend.
Lin Xueyao: Honey, I just broke up with Song Yuan, and he didn't even try to stop me.
Qiao Xi: What?! (Shocked) Song Yuan dared to break up with you. How much did he pay as a breakup fee?
Lin Xueyao: Breakup fee? (Suddenly realizing, she sneered disdainfully) That's right! No wonder you left without saying a word, it turns out you didn't want to pay a breakup fee.
Qiao Xi: What about the house you're living in now? Doesn't it have your name on it?
Lin Xueyao: He said before that this house was just a temporary one, and that he would leave it to my brother as his wedding house after he moved to a new house.
Qiao Xi: That's more like it. Someone as naive and innocent as you will inevitably be deceived by men, both physically and emotionally. Don't worry, a man like Song Yuan will definitely come back to you for reconciliation within three days. When that happens, you can take him to the notary office and make him put only your name on the house deed.
Lin Xueyao: Okay, I understand, thank you, Bao!
(Looking around the house, full of confidence.)
Lin Xueyao: It seems I still need to find Song Yuan and have a good talk about the house.
……
What the hell is this ridiculous plot?
Does this screenwriter not use a brain?
Do you want to be a billionaire?
Paying a breakup fee after a breakup? Intelligence is a good thing, you should take it with you when you go out!
Not only did she break up with him, but she also told him to his face that she was going to find another man after the breakup?
Are people so brazen about having affairs these days?
Why would someone so arrogant ask for a breakup fee?!
The most outrageous thing is that you not only demanded a breakup fee, but also asked for the other person's house.
And is the male lead mentally ill?
What does it mean that five years of living together day and night still can't compare to first love?
Damn it!
You know that the other person is having an affair!
What the hell!
Gan!
I'm determined to see what kind of crap this screenwriter can come up with next.
"How was the viewing?"
"Ah!" Shen Mo's curiosity was just piqued, and he was about to continue watching the excrement when he was interrupted by Liu Qing in front of him.
"This plot...is...very...engaging!"
"You have good taste, that's what I wrote."
"Right! I knew it was unusual at first glance. This plot... is unexpected, and it really heightens the anticipation."
The client is like one's own parents.
Making money is nothing to be ashamed of!
As he talked, Shen Mo himself began to believe it.
He's the male lead right off the bat, earning two thousand a day—what more could he ask for?
Forget about Lin Xueyao wanting a suite; even if the script later requires him to have a kidney, he'd have to cut it open himself, hold it up, and present it to her with a smile.
That's called professional!
Liu Qing smiled with satisfaction.
She knew exactly what her own script was like.
Jiaojiao, that fujoshi, is indeed a repeat offender. The person she recommended is sensible!
Along the way, hospitals, airports, and schools passed by one after another, and soon stopped at an office building site.
Shen Mo followed along, finding everything around him fascinating.
He'd lived two lives, and he'd never seen anything like this before.
As soon as we arrived at the venue, I was pulled away to get my makeup done.
"Are you the male lead this time? My name is Zhu Manli, nice to work with you!"
A candid and forthright female voice came from the dressing table next door.
She silently applied her makeup, glancing slightly to the side.
The girl had long, flowing hair, captivating fox-like eyes, a pert nose, and translucent red lips.
Even Shen Mo, who was used to seeing beautiful women, couldn't help but be attracted to her.
Sure enough, the beauties in the entertainment industry and the live streaming industry are not in the same league.
"Hello, my name is Shen Mo. Please bear with me later."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Manli seemed to remember something, and her face flushed red.
"What's there to be so tolerant of? It's just acting together. Professionalism is the most important thing, don't you think?"
This guy definitely did it on purpose.
Just like his reputation suggests, this guy is shady. I'll have to be careful when I work with him later.
No, maybe we should talk to the director and ask him to use camera tricks for that scene later.
Damn it, what a waste of such good looks.
Despite the criticism, she has a fantastic figure!
"major?"
Shen Mo was puzzled.
Just as I was about to ask another question, I realized that the other person had gotten up and left.
I said...
Are all the actors in this film crew so rude?
Forget it, don't force yourself into circles you can't fit into.
I need to finish my work last night and today; I still have to rush back for the live broadcast tonight.
Making money isn't easy!
"Is the male lead ready yet?"
A moment later, Liu Qing walked in.
Short drama production teams emphasize brevity and speed, and are much smaller in scale than film and television production teams.
Liu Qing's company was just starting out, and it was still a makeshift operation, with the entire crew consisting of only twenty or thirty people.
In today's short drama market, it's already considered quite mainstream.
Give me a minute.
"Shen Mo, give me the script."
"Oh!" Shen Mo handed over the script in his hand.
Liu Qing took the script, flipped through it a few times, and then circled it with a pen.
"This is today's filming. We'll go home after we finish."
"Familiarize yourself with the lines, preferably memorize them."
Because Huang Yu stood him up, and the male lead was a newcomer, she temporarily rescheduled most of the male lead's scenes for tomorrow.
Even so, there were still three or four venues that couldn't be rescheduled, especially...
"OK!"
Shen Mo didn't stand on ceremony anymore.
At this point, business acumen becomes the core.
No matter how good you are at interpersonal relationships, it won't matter when you actually get the job. Even if you manage to get those two thousand, you won't stand a chance for countless more two thousand in the future.
But soon he realized why Zhu Manli had that expression earlier.
Sex scene!
Damn it...
I'm such a newbie, and my very first scene on set was a sex scene...
director?
Are you sure you're a professional...?
Meanwhile, on the film set.
The hotel room was unremarkable, with a 1.8-meter double bed and three cameras on standby.
"It's just a kiss, what kind of sex scene is that!"
"Sister Qing, don't you dare betray me, that kid has such a terrible reputation..."
"Reputation?" Liu Qing asked in surprise.
They were all foxes with profound cultivation, and they immediately realized what was going on.
She smiled gently.
"Pfft!"
"I'm sorry, Huang Yu isn't coming. I've sent someone else."
"The male lead's name is Shen Mo, and he's a complete newbie. You know what a newbie is, right?"
Zhu Manli's eyes lit up.
The image of Shen Mo putting on makeup flashed through my mind.
A tight-fitting shirt, a tall figure, and most importantly, the occasional hint of bewilderment in the other person's eyes.
Turns out, he was a newbie.
"It's not topaz!"
Liu Qing glared at her and smiled irritably.
"You're new to this industry, don't scare the kids."
