Huayu: Starting from "The Heavenly Bodyguard"

"Brotherhood of Blades" started filming as scheduled. Lu Yang is no longer the same as before, and with the support of Enlight Media's media resources, the press conference was also well organized.

Basically, the first question that came up to the media at the scene was why Shen Mo didn't attend the press conference for the start of filming.

Shen Mo wasn't afraid, of course; rather, Zhang Yimou had given him an invitation he couldn't refuse.

Shen Mo should also go and watch the martial arts and stunts at the opening ceremony and give his advice.

It's not that Shen Mo's Golden Horse Award for Best Action Choreography is so amazing, but rather that Zhang Yimou wanted to see if he could find some problems from different perspectives.

The more people watch this kind of program and offer their opinions, the more at ease he feels.

This kind of request is something that Zhang Yimou would feel obligated to make even if he didn't know Shen Mo, let alone if he called him directly.

Unless Old Shen holds a memorial service for the seventh day after his death, everything else has to give way.

When they arrived at the address given by Zhang Yimou, a young man in an executive jacket was already waiting outside.

He first led Shen Mo to a small conference room where they signed a confidentiality agreement.

Then he led Shen Mo to find Zhang Yimou.

Upon seeing the person, Shen Mo was startled.

Why has Old Deng lost so much weight? No wonder it was later revealed that he had violated the one-child policy.

He shook hands with Zhang Yimou and then greeted Cheng Xiaodong.

They were all old acquaintances, so the atmosphere was very casual.

To Shen Mo's surprise, Master Yuan was also there.

This man was the world's number one action choreographer. Basically, all the world's best action choreographers later on were his students or grand-students.

After respectfully greeting the old man, Shen Mo sat down to the side and waited for the rehearsal.

After the show rehearsals were over, Shen Mo carefully recalled his memories of his past life and found that things were basically the same now as before.

He also explained it directly to Zhang Yimou, saying that from his professional perspective, he couldn't raise any questions.

Master Yuan and Shen Mo shared the same view, which was essentially the ultimate conclusion.

Zhang Yimou was naturally very happy; everyone shared his view.

It wasn't that he wanted to waste time going through the motions, but rather that he truly couldn't afford to make the slightest mistake.

Zhang Yimou patted Shen Mo on the shoulder and said, "I can't treat you to dinner today, I'm just too busy."

"Even if you offer, I don't dare to eat. I need to focus my time on the opening ceremony."

After exchanging a few words with Zhang Yimou, someone came looking for him.

Judging from the intensity of his work, Shen Mo felt that this old man had definitely been enhanced by aliens.

Before leaving, the national advisor mentioned that he wanted Shen Mo to act in his next film.

Shen Mo's mind was racing, trying to stop him from thinking about those random things.

Let's talk about it after his opening ceremony is successful. Then let's have another eight minutes of darkness. Shen Mo promised to burn paper money for him.

After finishing their business, Shen Mo and Master Yuan walked out together.

Yuan Baye also asked Shen Mo about the release of "The Dark Knight" and when "John Wick 2" would be filmed.

The old man certainly seems to be well-informed.

The old man knew that Warner Bros. had invested in "John Wick 2".

When it was time to part, the old man didn't forget to find work for his apprentices and grand-apprentices.

Shen Mo agreed, saying that if the martial arts team needed more people, he would definitely ask Eighth Master for help.

......

Tian Zhuangzhuang and Wang Jinsong were overjoyed that a student was finally making a movie.

It's not that Beijing Film Academy doesn't have other students making movies.

He either worked on film sets or made art films, so poor he had to pawn his pants.

This is the first time I've seen someone like Shen Mo make a commercial blockbuster and be the boss himself.

That's not all; from the director to the lead actors, they're all family.

The teachers are relieved that the students have been brought here.

The two of them directly used "Brotherhood of Blades" as an internship base for students from the Beijing Film Academy, sending them to the film crew in groups.

Shen Mo is a student in the advanced vocational class, which is considered an outer disciple. It is only right that he makes some contributions to the sect.

Shen Mo was quite happy at first, but as the number of people increased and time went on, the crew not only wasted boxed lunches, but also became chaotic.

This guy is treating Shen Daniu like a coal mine owner.

She's hinted to Lu Yang several times that he, as the director, should be kept in check.

Director Lu rolled his eyes at Shen Mo and said directly:

"I developed a chronic illness when I was in school, and I would tremble when I saw Teacher Tian."

"Besides, when we were just starting out..."

"I'll eat coarse food with you."

"These days, repairing that beat-up car costs tens of thousands of yuan. Don't you feel bad about it?"

"I'm just taking care of my fellow disciples."

"How dare you yell at me?"

"You heartless bastard."

How did this son manage to develop such a desperate, money-grubbing attitude towards his wife's family?

Did I yell at your grandpa?

Do my eyes breathe?

This air of a resentful woman confined to her chambers is pungent.

If the director isn't good enough, try the assistant director.

Damn, three of them are still in school.

The lead actor... seems unlikely to work either.

Seeing Shen Mo's demeanor, Wang Jinsong sneered and said:

"Don't try to act innocent after getting the benefit."

"If it weren't for the fact that you're one of us, why would Teacher Tian throw his students over here for you to do for free?"

"Keep one-third of these people."

"Your bullshit Ula grass will be all strong and well-equipped in the future."

Even though his teacher had sprayed him in the face, Shen Daniu couldn't retaliate.

They could only mutter to themselves.

"These guys can eat way too much."

Hearing Shen Mo's mutterings, Teacher Wang wondered if he should go find a pair of underwear.

"Order more boxed lunches tomorrow, and I'll have the actors from the performing arts department who aren't busy come over and be extras."

If it weren't for filming his own scenes, Shen Mo felt that he wouldn't necessarily have to agree to any unequal treaties.

As Shen Mo went up to berate Zhao Jingzhong, Liu Yifei, who had come to visit the set, sidled up to Wang Jinsong.

The little girl noticed that almost everyone she knew from school had come to see "Brotherhood of Blades," so she couldn't resist coming over to join the fun.

In the middle of the scene, Zhao Jingzhong, played by Shen Mo, is mocking the three brothers of the Imperial Guard for their miserable situation.

Shen Mo exuded an aura of power, perfectly capturing Zhao Jingzhong's arrogance at suddenly gaining power.

Zhu Yawen, Hu Ge, and Wang Qianyuan were all overshadowed, looking like soldiers A, B, and C.

Liu Yifei's eyes flickered, and he said to Wang Jinsong, "Teacher Wang, Shen Mo wasn't acting that exaggeratedly, so why was his performance so outstanding?"

The young girl before me possesses talent and opportunities unlike anything I've ever seen in my life.

Perhaps things went too smoothly up to the beginning.

His acting skills have never been honed.

If I can calm down and reflect properly when I get back to school this time...

With her popularity, her future is limitless.

Wang Jinsong, also appreciating Liu Yifei's talent, patiently explained the key points to him.

He pointed to Zhu Yawen and the other two, and said:

"This is Zhu Yawen's first time playing the male lead in a movie."

"I subconsciously brought in the way I acted in TV dramas."

"Those two are about the same."

"TV dramas are like small screens, so actors have to exaggerate a bit to achieve the desired effect."

"Movies are for the big screen; if you act in a movie like you would act in a TV series, you'll look really awkward."

"Especially since they are all experiential learners, which is the Stanislavski system."

"They haven't gotten into character yet since filming started."

Pointing at Shen Daniu, Liu Yifei asked, "What kind of driver is he?"

Scratching his head, Wang Jinsong said, "That son of a bitch is the village driver."
