He plays Feng Yuxiu, and his girlfriend is a fairy-like beauty.

a few days later.

In the "Brotherhood of Blades" crew, Ye Mo has completely shed the label of "newcomer".

It wasn't something deliberately arranged by anyone; it was a natural consensus among everyone.

Who would dare to treat someone who made Nie Yuan miss the catch and made Lu Yang pat him on the shoulder and tell him to add more?

"Teacher Ye, today's play has been rehearsed for 2 PM."

"Teacher Ye, the Miao sword props you requested have been placed in the dressing room."

"Teacher Ye, would you like some coffee? It's freshly ground."

As Ye Mo arrived at the film set each day, more and more people greeted him, and their attitudes became increasingly natural.

It wasn't the kind of deliberate flattery, but a heartfelt respect—that this person was truly capable.

Lu Yang regarded Ye Mo as a little treasure.

Over the past few days of filming, every time Ye Mo added scenes or offered suggestions, it was a revelation to him.

It wasn't the kind of newcomer who just made things worse by guessing, but rather someone who truly understood the character and the script.

"Ye Mo, come take a look at this scene." Lu Yang held the script and pointed to a section. "I think Ding Xiu's lines here are a bit flat. What are your thoughts?"

This is a new habit that Lu Yang has recently developed—when he's unsure about something, he asks Ye Mo first.

Ye Mo glanced at the script, tilted his head, and thought for a couple of seconds.

"Director Lu, could you add a line here? When Jin Yichuan asked him what he really wanted, Ding Xiu said, 'Whatever I want,' and then smiled."

"Smile?" Lu Yang frowned. "What kind of smile?"

Ye Mo put down the script, tilted his head, and slowly curled up the corners of his mouth, his eyes carrying an indescribable meaning—not mockery, not smugness, but a kind of irresponsible smugness.

"Just laugh like that."

Lu Yang stared at him for two seconds, then slammed his hand on the table: "Add it! This is it!"

The assistant director, standing nearby, was already used to it.

Similar scenes have occurred at least five times in the past few days.

Every time Ye Mo made a suggestion, Lu Yang's reaction was almost the same—first he frowned, then his eyes lit up, and finally he slammed his fist on the table and cheered.

"Is this kid Director Lu's long-lost son?" the assistant director whispered to the production assistant.

The stagehand shook his head: "I don't think so. Even a biological son wouldn't be spoiled like this."

……

Ye Mo's role is actually quite small.

According to the original plan, the scenes for the character Ding Xiu could be filmed in two or three days.

But Lu Yang kept adding scenes for him, and now the number has more than doubled.

Even so, Ye Mo's screen time was still much less than that of Wang Qianyuan and Nie Yuan.

But Ye Mo comes to the film set every day.

They arrive at 7 a.m. and don't leave until they finish work in the evening.

When not filming, he would move a small stool and sit behind the monitor to watch Wang Qianyuan act, Nie Yuan move around, and Lu Yang direct.

"You're here again?" Nie Yuan walked over, covered in sweat, after finishing filming a scene. "Didn't you finish filming your scenes?"

"We haven't finished filming yet, there are still two scenes left." Ye Mo handed him the water. "I came to take a look and learn something."

"Learn what?" Nie Yuan took a sip of water. "You're good enough already. If you learn from others, how will you survive?"

Ye Mo smiled but didn't reply.

Actually, he came to the film set for two reasons.

First, cultivate good relationships.

The big names in the crew—Wang Qianyuan, Nie Yuan, Liu Sishi, and Li Dongxue—are all well-known figures in the industry.

We might need to collaborate sometime in the future, so it's always good to build a good relationship now.

These past few days, he and Wang Qianyuan have been able to joke around.

Wang Qianyuan looks serious, but he's actually quite easygoing. Once you get to know him, he'll even take the initiative to teach you some movement techniques.

Li Dongxue didn't talk much, but his attitude towards Ye Mo had clearly changed.

I even invited him out for dinner the day before yesterday, although he couldn't make it because of filming.

Liu Sishi... Liu Sishi still maintained that distant yet friendly attitude towards him.

But Ye Mo noticed that she would occasionally glance at the monitor.

I'm either looking at him, or I'm watching him.

Secondly—

"bite."

That familiar voice rang in my mind.

[Best Actor System Notification: Continuing to observe high-level performances, acting experience +50. Current rating: A- (1200 experience points needed to reach A-).]

Ye Mo's lips curled up slightly.

When the system isn't talking, it's like it doesn't exist.

But as long as he watches plays, acts in plays, and studies plays, it silently gains experience backstage.

In just a few days, it has risen significantly from A-.

At this rate, once "Brotherhood of Blades" is finished filming, reaching A-level status shouldn't be a problem.

What does Grade A mean?

In his past life, he spent ten years playing minor roles, and his highest achievement was only a B+.

Now? You can gain experience just by lying down and watching others act.

"This system is fucking amazing," Ye Mo muttered to himself.

The system ignored him.

……

Meanwhile, in Hengdian.

Chen Desheng had just finished lunch and was leaning back on the sofa scrolling through his phone.

The phone rang; it was Lu Yang.

"Old Lu? What made you think of calling me?" Chen Desheng answered, his tone relaxed.

"Old Chen, I have something to tell you." Lu Yang's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement. "Do you know what Ye Mo, that guy you recommended to me last time, has been up to these past few days?"

Chen Desheng raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong? Did you get into trouble?"

"Cause trouble? If he caused trouble, would I be so happy?" Lu Yang laughed. "He changed my script."

Chen Desheng was taken aback: "Rewrite the script?"

"Yes, it was changed, more scenes were added." Lu Yang recounted what happened that night. "They said 'more money,' those three words, do you know how I felt? I got goosebumps."

Chen Desheng sat up straight.

"He gave me several more suggestions afterward, and every single one of them hit the nail on the head." Lu Yang became more and more excited as he spoke. "Old Chen, tell me the truth, what's this kid's background? Graduated from the Central Academy of Drama? Which teacher taught him? How can he be so knowledgeable?"

Chen Desheng remained silent for two seconds.

He recalled Ye Mo's demeanor on his film set—quiet, unassuming, and always ready to act whatever was asked of him.

He thought Ye Mo was just a talented and hardworking newcomer.

I never expected this kid to have this trick up his sleeve.

"I don't know either," Chen Desheng said honestly. "When he was with me, he just acted honestly, without changing the lines or offering any suggestions."

"So you're keeping him hidden away with you?" Lu Yang's voice rose. "Old Chen, that's not fair of you. Why didn't you say so sooner that you had such a promising talent?"

"How was I supposed to know he had this skill?" Chen Desheng laughed. "Alright, alright, you've struck gold and you're complaining to me?"

"That's right." Lu Yang said smugly, "I'm not giving you back my treasure."

The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.

Chen Desheng held his phone, thought for a moment, and dialed Ye Mo's number.

I answered it after it rang twice.

"Director Chen?" Ye Mo's voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding a little surprised.

"Xiao Ye, are you busy?"

"Not busy, I just finished watching Wang Qianyuan's play and am taking a break."

Chen Desheng chuckled: "Lu Yang just called me and raved about you like a flower."

Ye Mo was taken aback: "What did Director Lu say?"

"He said you revised his script and gave him suggestions, which made him as happy as if it were New Year's Day." Chen Desheng paused, "Ye Mo, tell me the truth, when you were filming with me, were you holding back your talents?"

Ye Mo quickly denied it: "No, no, Director Chen, I really wouldn't dare to do that for you. The direction you gave me for the role of Feng Yuxiu was exactly how I was going to act. I followed your instructions, how could I dare to change it?"

"So you dared to do it with Lu Yang?"

"Well... Director Lu told me to improvise." Ye Mo's voice carried a hint of flattery. "Director Chen, if you want me to improvise, I'll let you."

Chen Desheng laughed in exasperation: "Alright, alright. I just want to ask, how many more tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then Ye Mo's voice rang out, tinged with a hint of teasing: "Director Chen, what kind of question is that? If I reveal everything, how will I improve in the future?"

Chen Desheng was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"You've got a sharp tongue, kid."

"I learned that from you."

"Stop flattering him." Chen Desheng's smile faded, and his tone became serious. "Act well, don't get carried away. Lu Yang has high standards. The fact that he took a liking to you is your skill and your opportunity. Seize it."

"I understand, Director Chen."

"Alright, I'm hanging up."

"Director Chen, wait a moment." Ye Mo called out to him, "After this movie is finished, I'll treat you to dinner when I get back to Hengdian."

"Okay, I'll wait."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Desheng leaned back on the sofa and shook his head.

He recalled the first time he met Ye Mo—wearing a theatrical costume, standing at the entrance of the Kaiping Diaolou, smoking a cigarette, looking nonchalant.

At that time, he only noticed that the kid had a thuggish air about him.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a treasure trove.
