This director is vindictive.

Chapter 82 Chen Mo is the mastermind? (35)

Yang Mi turned down many TV drama offers, which had a great impact on her.

After all, the contract had already been signed, and she had broken it. Although she was considered to be very capable, the negative impact of breaking the contract for several films in a row was still very large.

Those crews were not so easy to deal with. Some crews were better. Although they were unhappy about Yang Mi breaking the appointment, they did not say it out loud. However, other crews directly broke the news to the media.

For a time, news about Yang Mi being a big shot and breaking contracts repeatedly was rampant.

However, Yang Mi obviously understands publicity.

Soon, he took the initiative to spread the news.

"Why did Yang Mi suddenly refuse to perform? He is the mastermind behind this!"

"Is it a decline in morality or a distortion of human nature? What's the story behind Yang Mi's repeated breach of contract?"

"Shocked! Yang Mi is acting like a big shot and refusing to act in multiple series she's signed to!"

"The truth is out! Yang Mi has shed her usual desperate self and tearfully cut her acting offers, just to focus on starring in Chen Mo's new drama!"

Because of this incident, Yang Mi even accepted an exclusive interview on Zhalang’s Weibo.

In the interview, she talked about the bet between her and Chen Mo.

"It's rumored online that you're being a big shot and have refused to act in several TV series you've signed contracts for, several of which were starring roles for the actress. Is that true?" asked Pei Qing, a reporter from Zhalang.

"I'm really not being a big shot, but I have no choice." Yang Mi said with a wry smile.

"Oh? A helpless act? Can you tell me more about it?" Pei Qing continued cooperatively.

"The story begins at the premiere of 'Love Is Not Blind'. Director Chen Mo raised three fingers at the premiere and said that he expected the box office of this movie to be 33 million! At that time, everyone thought he was bragging, and I thought so too." Yang Mi said.

"I was surprised that he dared to brag, but he confidently said that he never brags, and then I made a bet with him." Yang Mi added.

"What bet?" Pei Qing asked.

"If I win, I will play the leading role in his next movie!" Yang Mi said.

"But didn't you lose?" Pei Qing asked curiously.

"Yes, the bet at that time was that if I lost, I would play a role for him for free, but he also made a request that I should not be involved in the filming. I also had to be available at any time and focus on the role." Yang Mi said bitterly.

"Did you know you were the heroine before that?" Pei Qing asked.

"I don't know. At that time, they only said it was a role. I didn't expect it to be the heroine, and it was a one-man show." Yang Mi said.

"So, you refused to perform in order to fulfill your promise?" Pei Qing continued to ask.

"Yes, I was actually very conflicted at the time, because those scenes had been negotiated long ago. I still want to apologize to the crew here. This was indeed caused by my personal reasons." Yang Mi stood up and bowed.

"Can you tell us what kind of role it is?" Pei Qing asked again.

"It's hard to say, but Director Chen has very high expectations of me. Not only does he want me to learn surfing, but also to learn diving. To be honest, even if I didn't refuse the role, I really don't have the time! Not only that, he also asked me to get in shape, because this movie will be shot on the beach and on the sea, and I need to show off my figure." Yang Mi shook her head.

"Then it seems that movie fans will have a feast for their eyes. How is your study going?" Pei Qing asked curiously.

“I discovered that I was quite talented.”

Of course, Yang Mi discussed this interview with Zha Lang with Chen Mo, and Chen Mo also felt that this was a good publicity opportunity. At the same time, it was also a chance for Yang Mi to defend herself.

The result was not unexpected. Although Yang Mi did not reveal too much information about the movie in the interview, she still revealed a lot.

And this is exactly what everyone wants to know.

For example, this drama involves surfing and diving, and is shot on the beach and the sea, and it also shows off the bodies, so LSPs immediately had high expectations.

At the same time, she also told the truth.

"I didn't expect it to be true. It's quite a feat! However, the acting is indeed not very good, which is understandable."

"Honestly, Da Mimi had a lot of dramas released last year, but they all felt the same. It's strange that the quality can be good with so many dramas at once!"

"Movie directors don't like actors to be too demanding, let alone the lead actor."

"Tsk tsk, Director Chen Mo is truly worthy of being one of my generation. Just because the movie wants to show off Da Mimi's figure, I will definitely support this movie when it's released!"

"I support her too. I'll be shocked if I don't see it. Yang Mi has taken on more than a dozen dramas this year. Isn't that too much?"

"That shows how popular he is! Looking forward to his new drama!"

These were the reactions of some passersby.

But for Yang Mi’s fans, they all like to see it.

"My dear Mimi is finally getting back on track. Instead of taking on so many random roles, she might as well focus on acting in one good one!"

"Yeah, no wonder there's no film resources. This bad habit of acting really needs to be fixed!"

"She can be considered a blessing in disguise, right? But who would have thought that Director Chen Mo wasn't just bragging, but was truly amazing? For his drama, Yang Mi deserves some sacrifices!"

Chen Mo was also quite surprised at Yang Mi's efficiency.

"Ding, dang, look what this is?" Yang Mi said proudly, taking out a certificate.

"What is this?" Chen Mo was a little surprised.

"A diving certificate! Didn't expect that? Sister actually has talent in this area." Yang Mi said proudly.

"Diving certificate?" Chen Mo took it and looked at it. Wow, it's not even a beginner diving certificate, but an advanced one!

He was really impressed. You know, Chen Mo asked Yang Mi to learn surfing and diving, and in less than a month, she actually got it.

"Good, good! This is the script. Take it back and think about it carefully. The filming will start soon." Chen Mo handed her a script and said.

Yang Mi took the script, but was dumbfounded because there were only a few pages in the script.

It can be said that this is definitely the thinnest script for a female lead that she has ever received.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the script of "The Shallows" is just a synopsis, and there are not many lines or anything.

The key still lies in Chen Mo's on-the-spot guidance and the actors' on-the-spot performance.

Of course, it is impossible to shoot all the scenes by diving in the sea. Although the movie shows fighting with sharks in the sea, in fact, the sharks cannot be real sharks. They have to be produced through post-production special effects. In addition to some scenes on the sea, the main scenes in the sea will be shot in a huge pool.

"The Shallows" was an easy film for the director, but to be honest, it was not that easy for the actors.

If Yang Mi wants to play this role well, she will definitely have to suffer a lot.

There are a lot of underwater scenes, which are definitely enough to make her drink a pot. It's not that Chen Mo looks down on Yang Mi, but once she starts acting, she doesn't have the energy to do other things. Just filming this scene can make her exhausted!
