The Entertainment Industry in Turmoil: Young Actresses All Want to Rise to the Top

Over the next few days of filming, the scenes seemed to have been given a completely different color tone.

It's no longer a chaotic sibling rivalry, but rather a story filled with the sweet and heartwarming interactions between the "newlywed siblings".

Shen Mo, who plays Shi Fen, poured all his patience and doting affection into his "new little sister" Miao Miao.

"Push it higher! Bro! Higher!"

Wang Churan shouted excitedly.

"Hurry up!"

Shen Mo gave her a hard push from behind, and the swing swung up, the girl's screams and laughter breaking the silence.

His gaze followed the figure in the air, and he would occasionally remind himself to "be careful."

Meanwhile, Tian Xiwei, who happened to be passing by, was holding a bottle of soda she had just bought, her knuckles turning white from squeezing it so tightly.

In the arcade, Shen Mo sat behind Wang Churan.

He wrapped his arms around her and taught her how to play the King of Fighters arcade game.

Their heads were almost touching.

"Wow! Bro! How do we jump over that?"

"Look here, the timing has to be perfect, let me help you press... Yes, yes, just like that!"

"Yes! I passed!"

"My sister is so smart!"

Shen Mo casually ruffled Wang Churan's hair, and she chuckled without flinching.

As Tian Xiwei leaned against another cold game console, looking at the two heads huddled together, a nameless rage surged within her.

Watching the pixelated figure jumping on the screen, I frantically pressed the buttons.

Whether it was Shi Miao or Tian Xiwei, they both found the laughter and chatter extremely jarring.

With a "CUT!" sound, filming came to an end.

But looking at the two people not far away, they were chatting happily about something.

She saw Shen Mo suddenly bend down, and Wang Churan lower his head as he helped her fasten her bag. Her face turned bright red.

Tian Xiwei suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.

She instinctively unscrewed the soda bottle in her hand and took a big gulp.

The bubbles rushed into her throat, making her cough incessantly.

Suddenly, she felt a familiar warmth on her back. Shen Mo had come over at some point and was patting her back gently.

"Drink slowly."

"Nobody's going to take it from you."

Tian Xi looked up at him.

He was still the same, treating her well, his doting gaze never changing.

Exactly the same as before.

But something is different.

She opened her mouth, as if to say something.

But she found that she didn't know what to say.

During their evening rest, the three of them sat on recliners in the rest area.

Shen Mo brought over two bottles of soda and handed one to each of them.

As he handed it to Wang Churan, he casually remarked something.

"Drink less, it's cold."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid."

Wang Churan tilted his head back and took a sip, the soda sliding down his throat.

Shen Mo glanced at it and reached out to press the bottle down in her hand.

"Slower."

"You're just as long-winded as my mom."

Wang Churan rolled her eyes at him and chuckled as she complained, but she did indeed slow down her drinking.

Tian Xiwei sat to the side, staring at her unopened bottle of soda, her fingertips unconsciously picking at the cap.

"Why aren't you drinking?" Shen Mo noticed her.

"I have no appetite," she said casually.

Shen Mo reached out, took the soda from her hand, unscrewed it, and then put it back into her palm.

He gently patted the top of her head and said with a smile.

"If you're tired, lie down and rest for a while. Your scenes tonight are still a while away."

Tian Xi nodded slightly, looked up at him, only to find that he had already turned to talk to Wang Churan.

"Don't be nervous for that scene later."

"When you're nervous, your shoulders will unconsciously lift up."

"real?"

"real."

He reached out and gestured to her shoulder line.

"Like this."

Wang Churan deliberately shrugged, mimicking his gesture.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, that's it."

The two of them laughed at the same time again.

Tian Xiwei lay back down on the recliner and closed her eyes.

In the darkness, she suddenly found the laughter somewhat jarring.

After finishing work in the evening, Tian Xiwei walked ahead alone.

Shen Mo and Wang Churan walked behind, and Wang Churan covered her mouth and whispered something to him.

Tian Xiwei suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at them.

"Brother Mo."

Shen Mo looked up.

"What's wrong?"

She suddenly grinned, "I'm tired, can you carry me?"

She had many questions and many things to say.

In the end, all she wanted to do was act cute.

Shen Mo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

"OK."

To Wang Churan's surprise, Tian Xiwei leaped onto Shen Mo's back.

Shen Mo carried Tian Xiwei on his back and continued chatting with Wang Churan as they walked, seemingly unaffected by anything.

Tian Xiwei lay steadily on his back, listening to the voices of the two people beside her.

The feeling of tightness in my chest all day instantly lifted.

As the wind blew through the alleyway, the lights came on one by one.

She suddenly realized something.

Shen Mo is still her Mo-ge.

My feelings for her have never changed.

He's just nice to everyone.

But it was precisely because of this that she experienced jealousy for the first time.

Previously, whether Wang Churan was afraid, reserved, or arrogant, she didn't interact or play with Mo Ge much.

I tried to comfort her and help her, thinking I was being very generous.

But when she actually got close to Mo Ge, she felt uncomfortable.

Now I understand, even if Brother Mo shared some of his concern with Wang Churan.

I don't think I was being neglected.

Even that unique personal preference remains clearly perceptible.

-----------------

The film crew was like a finely tuned instrument that was gradually getting used to its best performance, operating efficiently under the direction of director Zheng Fenfen.

Tian Xiwei is the absolute female lead with the most screen time, but she seems to have inexhaustible energy.

The most common sight on set was her wearing a school uniform, her hair styled in the most obedient way, yet doing the most disobedient things.

He was either chasing after his brother, played by Shen Mo, or bullying his best friend, played by Wang Churan.

Her scenes with Shen Mo were particularly natural, perfectly capturing the subtle emotions of siblings bickering, disliking each other, yet caring for one another.

He often gets it right in one take, and even the demanding director Zheng couldn't help but praise him.

Shen Mo plays a dual role in the film crew.

As the lead actor, he had to perfectly portray the image of Shi Fen, an older brother who appears carefree on the outside but is warm and sensitive on the inside.

At the same time, as the boss of Mohen and the actual anchor of the crew, he also paid close attention to the overall progress and the actors' condition, especially the growth of Tian Xiwei and Wang Churan.

Wang Churan's changes were subtle yet clearly visible.

Her aloof and arrogant hedgehog persona is diminishing, and she has almost perfectly blended into the production team.

Especially her scenes with Tian Xiwei, her best friend, were becoming increasingly captivating.

The two interacted more relaxed in front of the camera, and sometimes even improvised some small details that were not in the script.

For example, when Shi Miao was complaining about her brother, Miao Miao gave him a slightly disdainful "you deserve it" look.

Enjoy reading "The Shura Field of Chinese Entertainment: Young Actresses All Want to Climb to the Top" and savor your reading time.

Or perhaps a witty and precise sarcastic remark can bring unexpected comedic effect.

In her scenes with Shen Mo, she gradually learned how not to be swayed by his powerful aura and how to perfectly showcase herself.

In one scene where Miaomiao helps Shimiao relay a message to Shifen, Shen Mo improvised a slightly provocative line.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Wang Churan quickly recovered and delivered a perfect retort with an eye roll that seemed to reach the heavens and a sharp retort.

Not only did he catch the scene, but he also enriched the relationships between the characters. The scene was ultimately highly praised by Director Zheng.

Time slipped by quietly amidst the dense call sheets and the ever-turning pages of the script.

The filming of "Take My Brother Away" has finally come to its last scene.

It was late at night, but the train platform area rented by the film crew was brightly lit. Everyone set up tracks, cameras, and reflectors to create the lighting and shadow atmosphere needed for the movie.

This was a play with extremely high emotional intensity, and everyone held their breath in suspense.

Tian Xiwei, who plays Shi Miao, is wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, with her hair slightly messy. Before filming started, she ran and jumped wildly to show the flush and sweat on her face after running.

After the director yelled "A", all the cameras instantly focused on the girl frantically searching for her brother in the crowded platform.

Her eyes scanned the throng of people urgently, she turned, tiptoed, and looked back.

Her eyes were filled with panic and reluctance as she earnestly searched for the most important person in her life.

On the opposite platform, Shi Fen, played by Shen Mo, had his back to this side, with a pile of large suitcases at his feet.

He was carrying the old schoolbag that his sister always carried for him every morning, and his figure, lightly counting his luggage, looked a little lonely under the station lights.

"elder brother--!!"

A shout that pierced through the noisy background, filled with sobs and a hoarse voice strained with all her might, suddenly burst from Shi Miao's throat.

This sound startled Shi Fen in the camera's view, causing him to slowly turn his head.

He turned around, his face initially blank as he searched around for the source of the sound.

Until I saw that small figure clearly on the opposite platform, my heart was instantly filled with immense joy.

He grinned, revealing a slightly silly smile, and vigorously swung his arms.

My younger sister still came to see me off!

The moment Shi Miao saw her brother's smile, the anxiety on her face was replaced by a torrent of tears.

Sobbing, she shouted with all her might towards the other side.

"You left something behind—!!"

Shi Fen was stunned, his smile froze on his face, and he subconsciously turned around to check.

The suitcase is there.

The ticket is here.

He scratched his head in confusion, seemingly not understanding what his sister was saying.

Then, as if remembering something, he pulled his backpack up to his chest, held it high, and waved it in his sister's direction.

A smile returned to his face, and he shouted loudly.

"I forgot something! I brought my schoolbag!"

This clumsy yet earnest response was like the last straw.

Tears streamed down Shi Miao's red and swollen eyes like a burst dam.

She no longer suppressed her emotions; a hoarse voice pierced through the entire filming set, carrying endless grievances, fear, and love.

The arm holding the schoolbag high also froze in mid-air.

The light in his eyes dimmed rapidly, overwhelmed by immense shock, realization, and the ensuing sadness and heartache.

He stared blankly at his sister across from him, who was crying her eyes out. His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.

"You left me behind!"

The second, more accurate and clear shout burst from Shi Miao's mouth.

Two clear tear tracks slid slowly down Shi Fen's face.

Just then, the midnight bells of the train station suddenly rang.

"Clang...clang..."

Shi Miao trembled suddenly, as if he had remembered something extremely important.

She frantically pulled a cell phone from her pocket—the same old cell phone that appeared throughout the movie.

She has fulfilled Shi Miao's wishes twice, including "Take my brother away quickly" and "I wish my brother happiness no matter where he is."

At that moment, the screen lit up, displaying the familiar electronic candle pattern.

She gripped the phone tightly with both hands, brought it to her mouth, and closed her eyes.

With a heavy sob in her voice, she shouted out her most desired wish with utmost sincerity and urgency.

"Bring my brother back right now—!!!"

"CUT—!!!!"

Director Zheng Fenfen's voice came through the loudspeaker, trembling with excitement.

"Perfect! One take! Filming wrapped!!!"

Filming wrapped!!!

"Wow—!!!"

"Thanks for your hard work!!!"

After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in cheers, applause, and whistles.

The lights came on, and the staff jumped up from their posts.

However, in the center of the platform, the two main characters seemed to still be in the play.

Tian Xiwei was still holding up the prop phone, tears still streaming down her face, her shoulders shaking.

Shen Mo gently placed his schoolbag on the ground, wiped away the tears on his face, jumped off the platform, and then strode to the opposite platform and jumped back on.

Tian Xiwei then threw herself into Shen Mo's arms.

"Waaah... Brother Mo..."

At this moment, the pressure and emotions of her first leading role in a film were fully released.

There was also a sense of loss and reluctance at the end of filming.

"Filming is finished..."

"Could Shi Fen please not leave...?"

Shi Miao doesn't want to be alone...

Shen Mo held her tightly, gently patting her back with his large hand, his chin resting on the top of her head.

"Shi Fen didn't leave; he came back."

"Shi Miao is not a person."

Wang Churan stood behind the monitor, quietly watching this scene.

She watched Tian Xiwei cry like a child in Shen Mo's arms, watched Shen Mo's incredibly natural protective and comforting demeanor, and watched the noisy celebration scene around them...

A complex feeling welled up inside me.

There was a sense of relief at the completion of the film, and a slight sense of melancholy at the impending end of this filming period.

There's also a feeling that's hard to describe...

As she watched the two embrace tightly, she quietly turned her face away and quickly wiped the corner of her eye.

After a while, Tian Xiwei slowly stopped crying and lifted her head from Shen Mo's arms.

Her eyes were swollen like peaches, and her nose was red, forcing out an ugly-cute smile.

"Brother Mo, did I act well?"

Shen Mo chuckled as he looked at her, wiping away the remaining tear stains on her face with his thumb.

"Great, absolutely great. You brought Shi Miao to life."

Tian Xiwei was finally satisfied. She turned to look at Director Zheng and the staff who were walking over, and her energy returned.

Then he accepted the flowers they offered and nodded to each of them in thanks.

Shen Mo took a deep breath, calming the turbulent emotions surging within him.

This scene was more mentally taxing than he had anticipated.

Tian Xiwei's passionate outburst, and that line, "You left me behind."

It seemed to possess some kind of magic, striking the softest spot in his heart.

Old Tian! I've left you behind...

How are you?

Half of those tears were for Shi Fen, and the other half were for Shen Mo's tears for the girl in front of him, and for the girl he might never see again.

He looked up at the night sky, where a shooting star streaked across the sky.

In the crowd, there was a figure holding flowers and bowing in gratitude.

In a daze, I overlapped with that figure...
