Hexagonal God

Chapter 362 Three Little Spies

Inside the Tang Dynasty Palace.

The interior is magnificent and richly decorated.

The style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty is fully displayed here.

Yang Zi and the others had paid great attention to the layout of the palace at the beginning. After Su Mo arrived, he added a lot of things here.

For example, the gauze curtains, bead curtains, the gilded dragon throne, the coiled dragons on the pillars, and some ancient-style mahogany tables and chairs can all be added in at no cost.

Those bead curtains are not ordinary decorations at all, but are made of real pearls.

It’s not expensive, just over 600,000 yuan for a pair of bead curtains.

But under the camera, the effect shown is extremely different.

When the light came on, the pearl curtains sparkled, and the gilded dragon throne was actually gilded with gold, it was so dazzling that it was blinding.

When the crew came over, they were all stunned by the luxury of the place.

The actors looked at the clothes they were wearing. These were not ordinary clothes made of crude materials, but real silk, and the embroidery craftsmanship was also very good.

Even Scarlett and Elizabeth, two foreign girls, were attracted by these clothes and kept pestering Su Mo to try on a set of Chinese Tang suits.

Unfortunately, Su Mo did not plan for them, so he had to make it at the last minute.

In fact, many things are still being rushed. When Su Mo decided to film, he started ordering some things, but it was still not enough. Now that the filming has officially started, many places are still under construction.

But within the industry, the luxury of the crew of The Empress of China has already spread.

Su Mo said that he spent 300 million yuan to shoot a TV series. If he didn't pay the leading actor a high salary, everyone would think he was lying.

But now it seems that 300 million may not be enough.

The actors' costumes were custom-made in bulk, and even a set of clothes for a palace maid cost more than a thousand yuan.

The current imperial palace is colorful and extremely luxurious.

"Crack!"

"Lin Shiyun, Zhang Junning, remember, you are just girls now, fifteen years old! You should act more innocent."

"Alright, alright, we just started shooting, you might not be in the best condition, adjust yourself and continue dancing right away."

Su Mo sat in the director's seat, giving orders calmly and calmly.

Some of the actors around were watching, some were reading the script, and at the same time they were also watching Su Mo's performance.

After all, this new director is still not very reassuring, and everyone wants him to make a good film.

Su Mo had been working on the machine for a few hours and was now proficient in some basic operations. Coupled with his understanding of the plot, he was able to do it very smoothly.

"Come over here, organize the dance, and practice Lanling Prince's March into Battle again. This is the dance that Wu Ruyi used to attract the Emperor after entering the palace. We must strive for perfection."

Lin Shiyun, who had just rested for a while, was called up by Su Mo and began to practice dancing in the magnificent hall.

Lin Shiyun also attended dance classes. She has a flexible figure and is able to hit the right notes. Now she is wearing gorgeous ancient costumes and dancing with these new actors who have entered the palace.

She is the focus of the dance, and her performance accounts for half of it, so Su Mo keeps a close eye on her all the time.

In the original version of The Empress of China, this dance segment was just for show.

Everyone was wearing gorgeous costumes and twisting their bodies gently, but you couldn't tell that they had any dancing skills at all.

In Su Mo's opinion, it was because the leading actor's dancing ability was not good enough, so they just put on a gorgeous scene, and the essence of the dance was not brought out at all.

And now Su Mo has very high requirements for Lin Shiyun.

When they were at Beijing Film Academy, Lin Shiyun and a few others had practiced this dance. Now that they came to Hengdian, Su Mo showed his demanding side and asked Lin Shiyun to perform the essence of Lanling King's Entering the Battle Song.

A group of actors stood in the room, each wearing a golden mask and a gorgeous gauze skirt, showing off their slim figures.

Lin Shiyun, dressed in red, stood out in the crowd.

The drums and music sounded, and the palace servants around began to play the instruments that Su Mo had prepared long ago.

Chime bells, guzheng, dongxiao, and flute.

Ancient Chinese musical instruments began to play, and the scene was comparable to a Viennese concert.

The actors twisted their bodies slightly and began to coordinate with the dance.

Elizabeth and Scarlett sat on Su Mo's left and right, also watching Lin Shiyun's performance in the camera.

"Su, is this girl your girlfriend?"

Scarlett asked with some curiosity and some sourness.

Since parting with Su Mo, Scarlett and Elizabeth thought they would gradually forget Su Mo, but Su Mo always appeared in their sight in an explosive manner.

Especially after what happened in Myanmar, they realized how outstanding the oriental boys they had a romantic relationship with were.

The Focus Interview program that followed originally had few viewers abroad, but they also came to watch it.

The more I look at it, the more I like it, and the more I look at it, the more I can’t bear to let it

In addition to the fact that they had managed Su Mo's account, they had already become closely connected with him. They knew that Su Mo had a girlfriend, but the American people didn't care much about that. They were still willing to be with Su Mo. This time they came to China, filming was one aspect, and meeting was also very important.

"No, she's not my girlfriend. She's my girlfriend's roommate."

"Really? She's very beautiful. One of the most beautiful oriental girls I've ever seen. Don't you like her?"

Scarlett asked bluntly. Su Mo thought for a moment and said, "If I say I don't like it, you probably won't believe me. But in this world, not everything you like belongs to you."

Scarlett and Elizabeth were both silent for a while, and finally Elizabeth said, "Su, why can't you have it if you like it? This is illogical."

Su Mo smiled and said, "Because people are not simple things. If you have something, you must take responsibility. My shoulders can't bear so much."

Elizabeth was moved and said, "Su, you are a good person, a responsible person, and someone you can rely on."

Su Mo was surprised by the skillful parallelism, but he still admitted that Elizabeth was right.

Seeing Su Mo's silence, Elizabeth and Scarlett were very surprised. They thought that silence meant his approval, and they became more convinced of Su Mo.

"Su, are you still growing and developing?" Scarlett asked a question.

"Uh, why do you say that?"

"Because you're more handsome and taller than the last time we filmed, you must have grown in many places."

Elizabeth glanced down calmly, and her meaning was clear.

Su Mo did not answer this question, but said to them: "Go, go, go and read your scripts and memorize your lines. If you don't meet my requirements, I will not let you pass easily."

Scarlett and Elizabeth are also veteran actors. They know that they cannot challenge the director's authority on the set, so they just memorize their lines obediently.

Su Mo then turned his gaze to the center of the hall and watched Lin Shiyun's performance.

"Eyes, eyes that flicker, understand? You have to remember that you are the lead actor, the camera could be on you at any moment. Now you are wearing a mask and cannot show your facial expressions, so your eyes are very important."

"Yes, yes, move. What you are showing now is for the emperor to see. Show some of your usual seductive energy."

I spoke too quickly and almost said something wrong.

Shen Yourong, who had no dancing task, had shining eyes. She wondered when Lin Daiyu had glanced at Su Mo, and why she hadn't noticed it?
However, the two annoying foreign women finally left, and Shen Yourong immediately wanted to get closer to Su Mo, leaving no room for the foreign women.

Su Mo frowned and asked her to memorize her lines as well, as the set couldn't be too chaotic.

With the start of filming for Empress of China, several other crews also started filming one after another.

Filming requires a large number of extras. Four or five crews are filming at the same time, attracting a large number of Hengdian dreamers to the ancient city of Chang'an.

The crew started filming, and tourists began to buy tickets to visit the ancient city under Su Mo's strong appeal. For a time, the number of visitors to Chang'an Ancient City even exceeded that of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and the Ming and Qing Palaces.

The number of businesses doing business in the surrounding area increased rapidly, and the ancient city of Chang'an soon became the most popular tourist attraction in Hengdian.

Now more crews are making appointments to come and film, so Su Mo asked the assistant director to handle it. The ancient city is very big, but there can be no more than eight crews filming at the same time. If there are too many, there will be serious conflicts.

Of course, Su Mo has the priority to use all the scenic spots. These were arranged by the deputy director he temporarily promoted.

Su Mo is now concentrating on his work as a director. He has been learning from other directors in the past few days and has mastered the basic skills to perfection, even surpassing the level of those directors.

Several directors were shocked by Su Mo's learning ability and said that Su Mo should have entered the directing industry a long time ago and that he was born to do this.

Su Mo was not proud. He knew what was going on with him. He might have talent, but it was definitely not that exaggerated.

"Twist your waist a little more. And everyone else, don't think you can just fill in if you're not the lead. We don't require you to do everything like the women of the Tang Dynasty, but you must dance this dance well. When you're done, it should be good enough to go straight to the Spring Festival Gala!"

Su Mo showed his harsh devil nature on the first day, which was completely different from his usual behavior.

After the dance had finally shown some improvement, Su Mo did not let everyone rest, but asked the choreographer to come on stage to continue guiding.

"The lead actor will take a short break, and the others will practice for another thirty minutes."

Lin Shiyun had been under supervision since morning and was very tired. Su Mo sympathized with her and let her take a rest.

I didn't expect that this girl would actually take the script and run directly to my side to sit and read it.

"What are you doing? Go and have some rest. Lunch will be served soon."

"Oh!"

Lin Shiyun stood up and walked to the side to sit down.

Then An Feifei came over with the script in hand: "Director, I don't quite understand this scene. Can you explain it to me?"

"Didn't I tell you to watch this scene carefully last night? Besides, you haven't had any scenes in the early stages of filming yet. You're Emperor Gaozong's concubine, so study it yourself first."

"Oh."

An Feifei walked away, and Shen Yourong came over again: "Director, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

Su Mo watched the people rotating like a revolving lantern and suddenly understood something.

These three people must be spies sent by Tang Mei.

He is worried about me and comes here to monitor me.
