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

After finishing work.

Tan Zhuo pulled Wang Chuanjun aside to rehearse their lines in the prop room.

Zhang Songwen squatted next to the monitor, eating a boxed lunch while discussing Cheng Yong's emotional shift in the next scene with Ye Mo.

Zhang Yu sat at the entrance of the dressing room, recording her lines with a Guizhou accent on her phone. After recording, she listened to the recording, and if she wasn't satisfied, she deleted it and re-recorded it.

Liu Yifei has been here for the past two days.

During the day, she helped with odd jobs for the stage crew, such as handing out water or holding up lights; she was never idle.

People on set got used to her. At first, they were reserved when they saw the "Fairy Sister," but later they could naturally call her "Sister Xixi."

The prop guy said something to the lighting assistant in private.

"Sister Xixi, a top star, works like a production assistant on our set, serving tea and water without getting tired. You tell me, what good deeds did Director Ye do in his past life?"

The lighting assistant replied to him.

"Stop talking, or I'll get all jealous."

Two days later.

Today's performance.

There's been a low-pressure system since morning.

Ye Mo arrived at the film set twenty minutes earlier than usual.

He first went to the dressing room, and then spent nearly half an hour discussing camera positions with the director of photography in front of the monitor.

This scene is between the old lady and Cao Bin, and it's the most tear-jerking scene in the entire film, so there's no room for error.

The actress who played the old lady is named Wei Qing.

Everyone in the industry knows her; she's a specialist in playing elderly women, having spent half her life playing supporting roles.

The great-aunt in "An Jia" is a shameless distant relative who goes to other people's houses to make a scene, crying, making a scene, and lying on the ground, and uses her seniority to demand the property.

The scene infuriated viewers across the country, with the barrage of comments unanimously saying, "This old woman is driving me crazy."

In "Wang Gui and Anna," Wang Gui's mother, speaking with a strong Henan accent, is simple yet stubbornly protective of her son. When she comes to her son's home in the city, the two generations' life philosophies clash, creating a lively and authentic atmosphere.

Many people who saw it said it reminded them of their elders back in their hometown.

Si Kui Niang in "Red Sorghum" is a simple, kind, and forbearing rural old woman. She experiences grief after losing her loved ones in the face of chaos. Although she doesn't have many scenes, the atmosphere she creates is extremely strong.

So there's a saying among the crew.

As soon as Teacher Weiqing appeared on screen, the audience knew who was the most pitiful character in the play.

Because she always plays the kind of character that makes people both angry and heartbroken.

Before filming began.

Ye Mo called Wei Qing over to the monitor and bent down to go over the lines with her.

"Teacher Weiqing, there are many lines in this scene, and you have to suppress your emotions. You can't cry or howl. The more restrained you are, the more powerful you will be. When you grab Cao Bin's wrist, you have to speak slowly, uttering each word one by one. What the audience wants is not for you to shed tears, but for you to hold back your tears."

After listening, Wei Qing waved his hand.

"rest assured."

Just two words.

Like all the characters she has played, she doesn't talk much.

That's how veteran artists are.

Reliable!

Ye Mo nodded and sat down in front of the monitor.

Unbeknownst to him, two people had quietly arrived at the entrance to the film set.

Jackie Chan and Nolan stood in the shadows of the lighting setup.

Cheng Longchong's staff made a shushing gesture. The staff recognized him, nodded with wide eyes, and led the two to a corner where they wouldn't block the camera's view.

Nolan didn't speak, just stood there quietly.

They didn't want to distract Ye Mo, so they decided to wait until filming was finished.

Filming begins.

The sound of the clapperboard fading.

In the police station's interrogation room, Cao Bin sat in a chair, facing a group of leukemia patients who had been brought back to the station.

Cao Bin, who was standing around Zhou Yiwei, was wearing a police uniform. His brows were furrowed, and his face showed the weariness that comes from being torn between law and human sentiment.

He raised his voice and demanded that those present name the drug dealer Cheng Yong.

No one spoke.

The interrogation room was so quiet that you could hear the hum of the overhead lights.

The patients lowered their heads and remained silent one after another.

These people would rather go to jail than betray the person who saved their lives.

Just then, the old lady slowly walked forward from the crowd.

Wei Qing walked very slowly, her body slightly hunched, and every step seemed to require all her strength.

She walked up to Cao Bin, slowly reached out, and grasped his wrist.

Those hands were covered in wrinkles and age spots, and the fingers were trembling.

She looked up at Cao Bin.

"Boss, I need your help."

His voice was hoarse, as if it had been slowly ground out from deep within his throat.

"I just want to beg you, please stop investigating Indian drugs, okay?"

There was no loud crying.

There was no shouting or straining.

She gripped Cao Bin's wrist, her eyes pleading, her voice slow as if she were counting down the days she had left.

"I was sick for three years, and I took the genuine medicine that cost 40,000 yuan a bottle for three years."

"I've eaten up the house, and I've ruined my family."

Beside the monitor, Liu Yifei's eyes were already red.

She bit her lower lip, her fingers unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes.

It's so immersive!

"Now that we finally have affordable medicine, you insist on calling it fake."

"Do you think we wouldn't know if the medicine is fake or not?"

Wei Qing paused for a moment here.

She took a deep breath, her chest heaving, as if those few words had exhausted all her strength.

"That medicine only costs five hundred yuan a bottle, the drug dealers don't make any money at all."

"Every family has a sick person at some point. Can you guarantee you'll never get sick in your life?"

"If you take him away, we're all doomed."

Her voice began to tremble, not in a sob, but in the last ounce of strength of a dying person fighting for their life.

"I don't want to die, I want to live, okay?"

The last three words were as light as a sigh.

Cao Bin sat there, his facial muscles twitching slightly.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

His hand, which was being held by the old woman, slowly tightened and then loosened.

The film set was extremely quiet.

No one spoke.

Liu Yifei's tears were already falling, streaming down her cheeks.

She didn't wipe it; she just stared fixedly at the monitor.

Tan Zhuo stood on the sidelines, wiping his eyes repeatedly with the back of his hand.

Zhang Yu leaned against the wall, head down, shoulders trembling slightly.

The prop guy turned his back, pretending to organize the prop box, and quickly wiped his face.

Zhang Songwen stood behind the monitor, arms crossed, eyes red-rimmed.

He was Cheng Yong, and he was also listening to the performance from the sidelines.

Every word the old lady said felt like a needle piercing Cheng Yong's heart, the character he portrayed, and also piercing Zhang Songwen's own heart.

Ye Mo sat motionless in front of the monitor.

His gaze was fixed on Wei Qing on the screen.

The old woman who hardly shed a tear throughout the entire scene, with her breath, trembling hands, and desperate eyes, weighed down the whole scene like the heaviest stone in the entire film.

After the scene was filmed, quite a while passed.

Ye Mo then called out "Pass".

His voice came out of his throat with a slight hoarseness.

Ye Mo also immersed himself in the role.

It would be a lie to say that he didn't show any emotion.

In the shadows on the sidelines, neither Jackie Chan nor Nolan spoke.

Both of them were filled with shock.

Nolan turned to look at Uncle Jackie.

"Which actress is this? I've never seen her before."
