This top guy is crazy!

As the clock struck eleven, with a final, crisp click, Cheng Cheng finally completed the first three chapters of "The Scenery Here," totaling 20,000 words.

Cheng Cheng was quite satisfied. The process of writing was also a process of thinking, and he already had some ideas about the script.

The synopsis of "The View from Here" is actually very simple:
The male protagonist is named Ilham, a Uyghur Party member and production team leader. His responsibilities include safeguarding collective interests, promoting ethnic unity, and striving to resolve various conflicts and problems in the village.

The subplots intertwine with the lives of the villagers:

Love, jealousy, forgiveness, betrayal, suffering, and hope.

In fact, this novel has a very high adaptation value and the potential to become a hit.

Secondly, it offers exotic scenery. The TV series can showcase the landscape and ethnic customs of Yili: snow-capped mountains, grasslands, orchards, the Yili River, Uyghur courtyards, songs and dances, clothing, and wedding customs, etc.

Moreover, the plot conflicts are quite engaging, as the main storyline remains the unchanging pattern of "good versus evil".

At the same time, this novel also has elements of "suspense".

It can effectively capture the audience's curiosity.

In short, Cheng Cheng positioned this TV series as a combination of serious drama and historical fiction.

If filmed well, it could even become an epic work like "Ordinary World" or "White Deer Plain".

To be honest, this was his first time creating a serious drama, and he was adapting it himself without any prior work to rely on, which was quite challenging, but Cheng Cheng felt that it wouldn't be a big problem.

Putting aside the fact that he plagiarized so many works, his current directing and screenwriting skills are world-class.

However, this film is a huge challenge not only for him, but also for the actors and the team.

This is especially true for Nilukezi.

Cheng Cheng arranged for her to play the role of Xue Lin Gu Li, which is the female lead in the film.

This character is quite complex in the original work:

She was initially the wife of an abusive man, and later married the male protagonist's younger brother. At the same time, she also had an emotional entanglement with the male protagonist.

In short, it is a very difficult role to play, and the emotional layers are very rich.

The performance style of serious dramas emphasizes restraint, precision, and profound inner projection, which is not only different from the extroverted and formulaic performance style of assembly-line idol dramas, but also worlds apart.

Cheng Cheng lowered his head and looked at Nilukezi, who was sitting quietly on the carpet.

She sat there curled up like a lazy and beautiful Persian cat, wrapped only in a white bath towel. Her exposed shoulders, neck, and collarbone were exquisitely shaped, and her skin was as white as jade under the light, exuding an innocent and pure allure.

This made him shake his head and sigh.

Hearing the sigh, Nilukezi looked up, her long eyelashes casting a soft fan-shaped shadow beneath her eyes. Her deep eyes, particularly bright and captivating under the light, asked with a hint of nervousness:
"Boss, what's wrong? Why are you sighing?"

Cheng Cheng continued to sigh, making Nilukezi's heart clench.

He then slowly said:
"How can you possibly be worthy of playing the female lead in this drama if you're like this?"

His gaze swept over her figure, which seemed completely unrelated to her suffering and resilience.

Nilukezi had also been reading for an hour and could see the novel's weight; she asked with concern:

"Boss, you're not going to stop me from acting, are you?"

“Not quite,” Cheng Cheng said. “The role is still yours. But—” He changed the subject, his tone becoming firm and unwavering, “I need to give you some extra training! I’ll personally guide your acting.”

Nilukezi blushed, naturally knowing what Cheng Cheng meant by those words, and she cooperated by saying:

"Boss, thank you for your hard work~ I promise to study hard, and I promise... I will listen to everything you say."

Cheng Cheng nodded, satisfied.

"Your acting skills are still lacking, but at least you have the attitude to learn."

As he spoke, Cheng Cheng bent down and picked her up. Nilu Kezi was as light as a cat, seemingly without any weight. However, he supported her back with one hand and put the other hand under her legs, sinking his hands into a plump and soft curve, and felt the real weight of her.

Nilu Kezi's long neck was tinged with pink. Even after so many times, her intimate contact with Cheng Cheng still made her feel a burning sensation.

Then, Cheng Cheng carried Nilukezi into the bedroom.

Next, there is a plot that is not suitable for children.

Cheng Cheng placed Nilukezi on the bed and gently untied the bath towel from her body.

Nilukezi's eyelashes trembled slightly as she obediently let the towel loosen.

Then, Cheng Cheng grasped her hand, his fingers weaving into hers one by one until their fingers were intertwined tightly.

"Next, I'm going to teach you a crucial lesson in acting—the precise control of body language and emotional responses."

In serious dramas, every subtle movement and every change in breathing must have an underlying basis and purpose.

Serious acting emphasizes "less is more." A subconscious tremor, a hesitant, averted gaze, a stiff back view—these are far more impactful than loud crying or screaming. The subtle control of facial muscles is especially crucial. Do you understand?

Nilukezi's breathing quickened, and she replied in a trembling voice, "I...I understand..."

Cheng Cheng: "Alright, now that you understand, let's put it into practice. Theory must be combined with practice to be truly mastered."

Nilukezi: "Now...now?"

Cheng Cheng: "Of course, now! Artistic creation allows no room for slackness. Next, for every emotional state I describe, you must engage all your senses and produce the most authentic and accurate reaction and expression."

Nilukezi took a deep breath, as if she had truly entered the film set:

"Okay, okay!"

So, what happened next—

Cheng Cheng:

"Okay, lesson one, 'The thrill and shyness of first encounter'! Be full of emotion, but express it subtly!"

A moment later, Cheng Cheng changed the command:

"Change your mood: Disgusted face!"

After a while, Cheng Cheng said:
"Good, now it's getting harder: hate face!"

A little while later, Cheng Cheng made an even higher demand:
"Very good! The next part is a difficult one. You will now pretend to be unconscious."

During this time, Nilukezi didn't know how many different states Cheng Cheng asked her to perform. She only knew that towards the end, she couldn't hear what Cheng Cheng was saying anymore. She felt that all her senses were fully awakened, and she was completely immersed in the surging ocean, losing herself in the moment. (End of Chapter)
