Huayu: Starting from "The Heavenly Bodyguard"

Chapter 10: If you're poor, you have to go for the high-intensity stuff.

Tianxian Baobao still left, but she left Shen Mo a packet of goji berries before she left.

I don't know what Zhang Tianai and Liu Yifei talked about all night, but the next morning they were still a little reluctant to part.

When Tianxian Baobao learned that Shen Mo was going to film a web series, she volunteered to be his free laborer.

Shen Mo refused without even thinking.

The little girl started crying again, and this time even Zhang Tian'ai cursed Shen Mo, calling him a heartless scoundrel.

"I'm going to Japan this time, and I might not come back."

Shen Mo really wanted to tell her, "You went there and failed miserably, and then you came back."

Take care on your journey.

Zhang Tianai and Liu Yifei hugged again and encouraged each other.

After Liu Yifei's car had completely driven away, Zhang Tianai said, "She's just a young girl, just coax her a bit."

As the clouds drifted across the sky, Li Mu remarked, "You're quite generous."

Despite saying that men are heartless, Zhang Tian'ai unlocked a new skin for Shen Daniu that very night.

Thank goodness someone gave me goji berries, otherwise I would have had to buy more.

When "Curse of the Golden Flower" reached its peak with large ensemble scenes and action sequences, Shen Mo was extremely busy.

Sometimes a single shot needs to be filmed dozens of times, and a single slash needs to be made dozens of times.

Sometimes Shen Mo felt he was losing control and accidentally killed the extras.

With so many roles to play, he felt comfortable staying on set.

I've been watching a lot of performances by veteran actors like Gong Li and Faye Wong lately, and I've really benefited a lot from it.

There's a real difference between his acting in his past life and his actual acting.

If we follow his methods from his previous life, it would be too peaceful and lack dramatic effect.

His mother, Gong Li, gave him a lot of advice recently, and he also acted out all of Jie Lun's dramatic scenes.

Zhang Yimou glanced at Gong Li, then at Shen Mo.

My mom's mental state is completely broken.

He really wants Jay Chou to get out of here... What kind of garbage is that?

Jay Chou felt very wronged; after all, Jay Chou is a singer.

Shen Mo, you bastard, can you please stay away from me? Don't just play the same disgusting character no matter what role I play.

In the end, fearing that Jay Chou might have a mental breakdown, Zhang Yimou went directly to Shen Mo, and the two exchanged contact information.

"If you want to be an action star, your acting skills are good enough now. But if you want to be an actor, you still need to practice."

"Thank you for the guidance, director."

Shen Mo is shrewd and clever; how could he not understand what Zhang Yimou meant?

"Jay's action scenes are almost done. I'm preparing a web series myself, and I'll leave the crew early when that happens."

"Okay, I'll look for a collaboration with you sometime."

"Director, may I ask you a question?"

"Ask away."

"Were you really abducted by aliens?"

Zhang Yimou's face immediately darkened; the usually composed national advisor turned into a sullen, brooding figure.

Birds sing and flowers bloom.

Upon learning the whole story, Gong Li laughed so hard her costume almost ripped open.

She patted Shen Mo's shoulder hard and said, "My good son, your mother really didn't waste her money!"

In the end, Shen Mo left the film crew with the world's unsolved mysteries.

Liu Xiaoli took the initiative to call Shen Mo.

Two things.

First, thank you for taking care of my precious daughter.

Secondly, knowing that Shen Mo's TV series lacked investment, he invested one million.

She watched Shen Mo grow step by step, and she admired this calm and hardworking young man.

They even considered signing Shen Mo to Red Star House.

With her good looks and martial arts skills, she certainly has a chance to become a star in the future.

But she is a woman, a mother.

I know that when little girls go through puberty, they sometimes inexplicably like some strange people.

There's no good way; we can only solve it using space and time.

Shen Mo is a good person; he is dignified and knows when to advance and when to retreat.

He now has a girlfriend, and as the one who brought this kid from the rural Northeast to the world of temptations, he feels obligated to help Shen Mo.

Whether you make a profit or a loss, a million dollars will earn you a favor.

Shen Mo accepted Liu Xiaoli's kindness without question.

If a poor person wants to get things done, they can't hold a grudge.

Besides, he really admired Liu Xiaoli. Such a beautiful mother and daughter, it's not easy for them to remain untainted in the entertainment industry where all sorts of monsters and demons are everywhere.

Huang Xiaoming also gave one million.

The cult leader is truly a good person; no wonder he had such good resources later on and even became a source of capital.

It's said to be an investment of eight million, but in reality, it's only four million two hundred thousand at most.

Seeing that her husband was short of money, Zhang Tianai called home and gave Shen Mo another 500,000 yuan.

Although funds are still tight, they are basically enough.

I registered a silent film studio and rented a house in Hengdian.

Lu Yang and his team also came over.

Compared to the original, Shen Mo adjusted many of the tropes in "Go Princess Go" that were no longer suitable for the present, and also compressed each episode to about ten minutes.

It has a total of eighty episodes, and it's full of exciting and funny moments.

Lu Yang found Shen Mo's method of modification quite unbelievable.

In many places, in order to shorten the runtime, the plot is not explained very clearly.

Nowadays, TV dramas are always as long as possible; this is the first time I've seen one this short.

Shen Mo was too lazy to explain; he just told Lu Yang to follow his script.

These people hadn't seen the later short drama, so of course they didn't understand the deeper meaning behind Shen Mo's silence.

Lu Yang started working, and Shen Mo followed behind him like a madman, watching how he would perform his duties as director.

Jay Chou gave him a week to make a cameo appearance.

As for Gong Li, her exact words were that if he mentioned a cameo role again, she would tear up the script and throw it in Shen Mo's face, saying it was all nonsense.

It's definitely a bit ahead of its time; the older generation might not be able to accept it...

Aside from their own silly wife and Jay Chou's cameo appearance, the rest of the crew acted themselves if they could, and found extras if they couldn't.

Shen Mo went straight to his old acquaintance Wu Lao Er. The two of them were now hugging each other, their relationship blossoming from a fight to a meeting of kindred spirits. They felt like they had known each other for a long time.

After expressing all sorts of emotions, the damn extras' prices didn't drop a single penny.

It's indeed disgusting that Shen Mo slashed 20 yuan off 200 yuan, but Wu Lao Er is too clueless.

Finally, Zhang Tianai couldn't stand it anymore and kicked Shen Mo twice.

The price for extras is set by the union, and it's impossible for it to be lowered.

Shen Mo complained, demanding that Wu Lao Er return the kickback.

Since the game started, Shen Daniu'er has entered "Invincible Mode".

His learning speed amazed Lu Yang, who exclaimed that he was a monster.

Within a few days, he had drained the director, who was of average build, dry up and took over the crew's work, instructing Lu Yang to keep an eye on his monitor.

Everything was arranged perfectly, and everyone became a precise cog in a machine.

With a stopwatch in hand, they timed the makeup process; even the script supervisor had specific instructions on how many steps to take and where to go.

Everything needed on-site is numbered to ensure it's within easy reach.

The entire crew filmed at an alarmingly fast pace.

Lu Yang has gone mad. It's one thing to steal my skills, but now he's using a stopwatch to time my bathroom breaks. That's going too far.

He, as the director, couldn't just call out "NG" on a whim; he had to clearly explain the adjustments needed by the people on set, or he'd get a lecture.

Zhang Tian'ai is the absolute female lead, and basically 90% of her scenes are in her roles.

He felt that Shen Mo was not a human being at all, but a cold machine.

No matter what the matter is, he ruthlessly breaks it down into detailed requirements.

She had never played a leading role, but she had seen how other production crews filmed their shows while she was just an extra.

Other films have a set time limit for completion, but there's no set time limit for shooting, and it has to be followed.

Now Zhang Tianai is wondering if Shen Mo, that bastard, is taking the opportunity to get revenge on her after she sent Liu Yifei away.

If you don't love me anymore, let's break up and destroy ourselves.
