This director is vindictive.

Chapter 83 Is He Sick? (45)

In fact, Yang Mi did suffer a lot during this period.

On the one hand, I have to learn diving and surfing according to Chen Mo's requirements, and on the other hand, I have to keep exercising.

After all, a surfing enthusiast not only needs to have a good figure, but also an athletic figure.

Not only that, in order to help her play the role well, Chen Mo also made additional requirements for her, which was to ask her to watch and read more interviews and reports of shark attack survivors, and to visit marine biologists. Because the character's background is a medical student, she also needs to exchange experiences with doctors and medical students.

Although the self-rescue and medical scenes in the movie are not complicated, she still needs to understand some relevant knowledge.

However, Chen Mo did not give her enough time to prepare, so although she turned down those roles, she became even busier, almost working around the clock.

In fact, although the plot of "The Shallows" seems simple and clichéd, it is also a challenge for Chen Mo.

He needs to know how to create the tension of this type of subject matter and present the suspenseful and suffocating atmosphere in multiple layers.

The good thing is that Chen Mo was an expert in this in his previous life. After all, online movies may not be good at other things, but you must know how to create an atmosphere. This is a compulsory course for many online movies, or horror movie directors!

When "Love Is Not Blind" was being filmed, because Chen Mo had not yet proven himself in theatrical films, there were very few product placements.

But "The Shallows" is completely different.

The equipment that Da Mimi is wearing, including earrings, necklaces, bracelets, electronic watches, bikinis, surfing suits, backpacks, shoes, sports cameras, and mobile phones, have all been found by manufacturers.

Of course, the shape, style, etc. are all carefully selected.

Chen Mo is actually not that opposed to product placement, especially those that do not affect the plot. Chen Mo can only say that the more the better.

The investment in "The Shallows" was not large, but the product placement alone made the movie profitable.

On the other hand, Mr. Liu obviously has not given up on Yang Mi. During this period, he often appears next to Yang Mi, giving her flowers and asking about her well-being.

Seeing that Yang Mi endured the severe winter cold to go surfing and diving for the sake of the movie, he cursed Chen Mo from head to toe in his heart.

"Do you have a grudge against Director Chen Mo?" Mr. Liu finally couldn't help but ask that day.

Yang Mi frowned slightly and asked, "What are you talking about? What's the grudge?"

"When will your movie start shooting?" asked Mr. Liu.

"It's almost done. Filming will definitely start before the New Year. What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Yang Mi asked puzzledly.

"Is he sick?" Mr. Liu cursed.

"Are you sick? What nonsense are you talking about?" Yang Mi was confused. Mr. Liu's persistence and care in the past few days did make her feel a little soft-hearted, but she didn't understand what Mr. Liu said at all.

"There must be a lot of underwater scenes in your play, right?" Mr. Liu asked again.

"Yes! Otherwise, why would I be busy with this?" Yang Mi rolled her eyes at him.

"Mimi, listen to me, can we not shoot this movie? Even if you want to fulfill your promise, you can't joke with your own life!" Mr. Liu said earnestly.

"Why are you kidding me? It's just a diving scene, and there's security on set. How dangerous can it be?" Yang Mi said, unfazed. "Mi Mi, this is winter, don't you understand? It takes ages to get out of the water in this weather, but filming means you're underwater for a long time. In this temperature, isn't it dangerous? No amount of security personnel will help!" Mr. Liu explained.

Yang Mi's face turned pale immediately, because she was startled and frightened by Mr. Liu's reminder.

During this period, she often went into the water. Although as a girl from Beijing, she was used to the severe cold here, but even so, she did not dare to stay in the water for too long. She would choose an indoor venue if possible, but it was impossible to shoot indoors.

She got nervous when she thought about filming underwater for a long time in such cold weather.

I called Chen Mo directly.

Yang Mi immediately complained on the phone, "Chen Mo, Director Chen, Director Chen, I was wrong, okay?"

Chen Mo was stunned when he heard this. He didn't understand why Yang Mi was so crazy and why she suddenly came to admit her mistake?
"What do you mean? What are you wrong about? What did you do?" Chen Mo was speechless.

"Brother, it's winter now! Do you understand what winter means? More than 80 percent of the scenes in this play were shot on or underwater. Even if you want to torture me, there's no need to go to such lengths, right?" Yang Mi complained bitterly.

After she thought about the content of the script, she felt terrible.

It's winter now, and we're shooting water scenes, and a lot of them are underwater. It's freezing in this weather, and we have to stay underwater for such a long time to shoot. Just like Mr. Liu said, isn't this life-threatening?
Chen Mo couldn't help laughing when he heard what Yang Mi said.

Indeed, this kind of scene is usually filmed in the summer, because it would be freezing cold to shoot in the water in the middle of winter. No wonder Yang Mi had such a reaction.

"Don't worry, if you really fail, we won't be able to shoot the movie. I have considered this a long time ago." Chen Mo comforted with a smile.

In fact, he had really considered it, so when he was scouting locations, he deliberately chose a few "cold escape" spots.

Finally, we chose BH City, located on the northeast coast of Beibu Gulf in the southern part of Xiguang!
Beihai has a subtropical marine monsoon climate. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, with neither severe cold in winter nor extreme heat in summer.

Chen Mo checked the recent weather in Beihai and found that the temperature was around 20 degrees Celsius. The beach scenery here was also very suitable for filming "The Shallows". Of course, the most important thing was that at this temperature, there was no problem at all shooting in the water.

"Really?" Yang Mi was obviously still a little unconvinced.

"Of course it's true. You'll know when you get there." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"You didn't lie to me, did you?" Yang Mi still didn't believe it.

"Why would I lie to you?" Chen Mo smiled.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Mi said to Mr. Liu, "He said he's already considered this issue. You, don't worry about it."

"That won't do. Let's put it this way. I'll go with you when the filming starts, otherwise I won't be at ease." Mr. Liu said seriously. In fact, he was more worried about Chen Mo. After all, Da Mimi looked like a meat bun. He was really afraid that the dog would pay attention to her. Yes, he was talking about Chen Mo!

Especially, who can stand filming this kind of movie?
Chen Mo was a young, hot-blooded director, so how could he not understand the intricacies of the entertainment industry? So all his concern about Da Mimi going swimming in the winter was just an excuse. Beware of fire, theft, and the director! Especially since Chen Mo was rich, handsome, and talented. How could Liu Kaiwei not be afraid of a man like that?

He had finally gotten the meat into his mouth, and he didn't want someone else to snatch it away.

Yang Mi naturally didn't know what Mr. Liu was thinking, and she really thought he cared about her and was worried about her. To be honest, seeing how Mr. Liu cared about her, Yang Mi felt a little touched.
