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

The next day, Ye Mo arrived at the film set just as dawn broke.

He was there earlier than anyone else.

The moment the director's chair is placed there and the walkie-talkie is in hand, the imposing presence is immediately apparent.

The extras and actors arrived one after another.

They were all yawning and rubbing their eyes, looking like they hadn't woken up yet.

Ye Mo stood in the center of the field and clapped his hands.

"Come here, everyone, and listen to me."

A crowd gathered around.

Ye Mo glanced around.

"Yesterday's scene went well," Ye Mo said, "but that was just an appetizer."

"The real feast is yet to come."

Whether "All In" will be a hit depends on the next month.

"Each of you has to show me your best skills."

"If the box office surpasses one billion on the day of the film's release, I'll treat the entire crew to a lavish meal."

Someone shouted from the audience.

"Director Ye, is one billion enough?"

"Then let's have two billion," Ye Mo said. "Two billion, one red envelope for each person, no questions asked."

"Three billion, I'll book the entire hotel for a three-day, three-night celebration."

"Four billion... What do you want? Tell me."

The crowd burst into laughter.

Zhang Yixing whispered to Sun Yang.

"Director Ye's promise is making me hungry."

"Then you'd better act well," Sun Yang laughed. "If you don't act well, you won't even get a chicken leg, let alone a fancy meal!"

"Get lost!" Zhang Yixing laughed and scolded. "Do you think I'm a pushover?"

This pie in the sky is drawn to be both large and round.

But ironically, these people just fall for it.

Once the grand promise was made, filming began.

In the first scene, Mr. Pan entered the park.

Zhang Yixing stood in front of the camera and took a deep breath.

"Action!"

Zhang Yixing plays Pan Sheng, carrying a bag, looking around, and following the "agent" forward.

"Cut!" Ye Mo called out to stop.

"One Star, your eyesight is off."

"Pan Sheng is naive, not stupid."

"You look like a lost husky right now."

Zhang Yixing blushed.

"Director Ye, I... I'll try again."

"Try it," Ye Mo said. "Don't be nervous, just think of yourself as Pan Sheng."

Article .

Zhang Yixing went through it again.

Still not right.

"Click!"

"Don't let your hands shake! Mr. Pan is going to make money, not to his execution!"

Article 3, Article 4...

The more anxious Zhang Yixing became, the less he could find his rhythm.

Jin Chen, who was standing on the side waiting to go on stage, whispered to Sun Yang.

"One Star is nervous."

"That's normal," Sun Yang said. "It's the first time taking on such a big responsibility, who wouldn't be nervous?"

"When I filmed my first movie, my legs were shaking."

Zhang Yixing heard this, turned around, and smiled bitterly.

"You two, can you stop gloating?"

"Who's gloating?" Jin Chen laughed. "We're just cheering you on."

Ye Mo sighed and walked up to Zhang Yixing.

"One Star, look at me."

Zhang Yixing looked up.

"What were you like when you first entered the entertainment industry?"

"I just... knew nothing and thought there were opportunities everywhere," Zhang Yixing said.

"Yes," Ye Mo said, "that's the spirit."

"Pan Sheng is a programmer, very smart, but he has zero social experience."

"He thought he could make a name for himself, but he ended up stepping into a pit."

"Right now, you are the kind of person who 'thinks you can make a name for yourself'."

"Squeeze that naivety out of your bones."

Zhang Yixing closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When I opened my eyes again, my whole demeanor had changed.

"I understand, Director Ye."

Article 5.

Zhang Yixing's acting finally got right.

"Pass." Ye Mo nodded.

Zhang Yixing let out a long breath and grinned.

Sun Yang came over and punched him.

"Good job, Star One, you've finally figured it out."

After spending time together yesterday, the crew members have gotten along much better.

The key is that everyone is relatively young, so they can take any jokes.

Zhang Yixing never put on airs!

"That's right." Zhang Yixing proudly raised his chin. "Don't you know who I am?"

"You get all cocky after just a couple of compliments," Sun Yang chuckled and teased. "Don't turn back into a husky later."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Jin Chen's play is the first scene in which Liang Anna is tricked into entering the park.

This girl acts steadily, but she's not very open.

"Click." Ye Mo said, "Jin Chen, you're being too pretentious."

"Liang Anna is a model who has been deceived. She is afraid and desperate."

"The way you look right now makes you look like you're here for an inspection."

Jin Chen pursed his lips.

"Director Ye, I... I can't quite find that feeling."

Ye Mo walked up to her and lowered his voice.

Imagine yourself being alone, dumped in a strange country.

"My passport was taken away, and my phone was confiscated."

"I cried out to heaven and earth, but no one answered."

"Could you still look so composed back then?"

Jin Chen's body trembled.

She lowered her head, and when she looked up again, her eyes were already a little red.

"I see."

Article .

Jin Chen perfectly captured Liang Anna's helplessness and fear.

"Pass."

Ye Mo nodded to her.

"That's right, that's the taste."

Jin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and bowed slightly to Ye Mo.

Sun Yang's performance marks A Cai's first appearance.

He played the role too "bad".

"Cut!" Ye Mo called out to stop.

"Sun Yang, you're playing a villain, not a stereotypical character."

"Ah Tsai's badness isn't written on his face."

"He beat you into submission while he was smiling."

"Laugh! Laugh out loud!"

Sun Yang scratched his head.

"Director Ye, when I smile, I don't look like a bad guy."

"I want you to be mischievous with a smile," Ye Mo said. "The brighter the smile, the more chilling it is."

"Imagine someone who smiles gently, but then suddenly slaps you across the face."

"That's what you call terrifying."

Sun Yang pondered for a moment, and his eyes slowly lit up.

"I'll give it a try."

Article .

Sun Yang had a smile on his face, but his eyes were frighteningly cold.

That laugh sent chills down your spine.

"Yes," Ye Mo said. "That's the feeling."

"Sun Yang, your face is made for villainous roles."

Sun Yang chuckled.

"Director Ye, are you praising me?"

"I'm praising you," Ye Mo said. "Cherish it."

It's Wang Chuanjun's turn, and now it's Manager Lu's turn to perform.

"Action!"

Wang Chuanjun exudes an aura of authority the moment he sits down.

The dialogue, the eye contact, and the actions were all executed seamlessly.

"Click!"

"Pass."

One take.

Everyone stared in disbelief.

"Holy crap, Chuanjun's condition is amazing."

"This isn't acting, this is Manager Lu himself."

Zhang Yixing muttered to himself.

"When will I be able to do what Brother Chuanjun does and get it right in one take?"

Sun Yang patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't rush, take your time."

"Didn't Director Ye say that we all have a chance?"

During lunch break, a group of people squatted by the film set, eating their boxed lunches.

Zhang Yixing put the chicken leg from his lunchbox into Wang Chuanjun's bowl.

"Brother Chuanjun, eat more to replenish your energy."

Wang Chuanjun was stunned for a moment.

"You eat it yourself, I'm not hungry."

"Don't mention it," Zhang Yixing said. "You've worked hard filming."

Jin Chen laughed beside him.

"One Star, this is a bribe."

"This isn't bribery," Zhang Yixing said seriously. "This is called apprenticeship."

"Brother Chuanjun, please accept me as your apprentice."

Everyone laughed.

Wang Chuanjun was also amused and, unusually, grinned.

"Fine, I'll take you."

"I'll take the chicken leg."

Sun Yang started a disturbance.

"Brother Chuanjun, I want to become your apprentice too!"

"You should first make sure you understand how to portray Ah Cai," Wang Chuanjun said.

"That hurts." Sun Yang clutched his chest, feigning injury.

The group burst into laughter.

The restraint I felt yesterday has long since vanished.

The afternoon's filming will continue.

As the morning passed, Ye Mo shouted "Cut!" countless times.

But every "cut" is a sign of refining the performance.

Zhang Yixing went from being a silly goose to becoming a successful businessman.

Jin Chen's initial restraint eventually turned into despair.

Sun Yang honed his skills from his facial makeup to create a smiling tiger.

Everyone gradually gets into character with Ye Mo's "click".

Ye Mo sat behind the monitor, his eyes never leaving the screen.

Criticism is one thing, praise is another.

But he never hesitates to praise any actor who shows improvement.

He's a master at using both kindness and severity—he knows it better than anyone.

When it was time to wrap up work, Ye Mo called everyone together.

"Not bad today," Ye Mo said. "Better than yesterday."

"Tomorrow, we'll continue."

"Remember, this play was created by a group of us working together."

Everyone nodded.

Zhang Yixing looked at Ye Mo and whispered.

"Director Ye, I think I'm starting to get the hang of it."

Ye Mo smiled.

"It's still a long way off, this is just the beginning."

"However, you've already got the hang of it."

After finishing work, Ye Mo sat alone in front of the monitor, reviewing the footage from the day.

In the footage, Zhang Yixing, Jin Chen, and Sun Yang are all making progress.

Wang Chuanjun was even more frighteningly steady.

Ye Mo lit a cigarette and exhaled a puff.

This production crew has been revitalized.

For Ye Mo, the most arduous part of making a movie was the initial period.

If you can get all the crew members into character, then post-production will be much easier.

If you can't get into character.

Then he'll be busy.

At this point, he could understand why most directors have such a bad temper.

Every actor falls short of their own standards; no wonder they have such bad tempers!
