Chapter 9, First Acting Experience, Tastes Good!
The plot of "After Breaking Up, I Married My Ex-Boss" is not complicated.
The male protagonist, Song Yuan, is ostensibly the technical director of an internet company, earning tens of thousands of yuan a month in salary and easily receiving tens of thousands more in bonuses.
What's even more impressive is that he has a hidden identity: James, one of the world's top hackers.
This incredibly powerful individual was rejected by his girlfriend, who dumped him for her "white moonlight" (a term of endearment for someone special).
By a twist of fate, the male protagonist meets the female protagonist at a bar, the two have a relationship, and then quickly get married.
However, the male lead's ex-girlfriend is a self-important fairy who thinks the male lead is just playing hard to get. She then causes all sorts of trouble, unaware that the male lead has already registered his marriage with the female lead and started a shameless and happy life.
The following plot:
The ex-boyfriend fantasized about two-timing, but the bride wasn't her...
The brother-obsessed ex-girlfriend got pregnant, and the vicious brother kicked her, causing a miscarriage...
Best friends who steal each other's partners are all clowns...
Company layoffs hit the lifeline: I'm a newly minted unicorn...
The Rich Family's Substitution of the Crown Prince: I Am the True Heir of the Rich Family...
Shen Mo gave an eight-character comment:
With so many elements, it's sure to be a hit!
set.
This was the first time Song Yuan and Gu Shiyu had met.
"Gu Shiyu was drugged and, in desperation, dragged Song Yuan to a hotel room."
"Gu Shiyu was conscious, but her whole body was limp and powerless. You tried hard to undo Song Yuan's belt, but you couldn't pull it off..."
On the bed, Liu Qing was pinned down by Zhu Manli, who was wearing a red dress with a slit.
While instructing Shen Mo on the scene, he also guided Zhu Manli through the rehearsals.
"Camera position: medium shot from behind, close-up, slow pan..."
Liu Qing spoke very quickly, and Shen Mo tried hard to keep up, but eventually found that he couldn't do it at all.
The lines he had just memorized and Director Liu's words initially overlapped, but gradually began to deviate from his understanding.
Especially the camera position and lens...
Done!
I could understand the beginning.
What are all these things...?
"Song Yuan, come here."
"what!"
The Song and Yuan dynasties were still processing what had happened when they were suddenly summoned.
Hey!
I'm also a little excited.
"Don't worry, I'll take you with me."
Noticing his nervousness, Zhu Manli said half-jokingly.
There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
No, what are you expecting?!
"The most important thing is to concentrate."
Zhu Manli suddenly reminded her.
attention?
What does this have to do with attention?
"OK!"
Even if you don't understand, you must have the right attitude.
but……
The bed is so hard!
"Here I come!"
Zhu Manli's eyes were already charming and captivating, but her smile added an extra touch of foxy allure.
Through her jeans, her tall, beautiful legs pressed right up against her.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Shen Mo still overestimated his composure.
"Um?"
Zhu Manli sensed something was amiss, and a hint of embarrassment appeared in her crescent-shaped eyes.
As a layman, it's hard not to get aroused when a tall, beautiful woman in a red slit dress is straddling your waist and abdomen.
And at this crucial moment, they still let you perform.
Perform a Der!
"I have no experience..." Shen Mo smiled awkwardly.
"Focus your attention."
Forehead!
So that's what attention is all about!
never mind!
I'm definitely not a one-in-a-million acting genius.
"Use skill imprinting!"
Silently recite it in your mind.
[Use skill imprint to lock onto target: Zhu Manli]
[Skill imprinting in progress...]
[Printing successful!]
[Congratulations, host! Imprint skill: Facial Expression Control]
【Skill】
[Dance 25 (Master of muscle memory, getting better and better), Singing 3 (Barely listenable, disliked in karaoke), Lying 62 (A master of lies, highly persuasive), Facial Expression Control 82 (Skilled, able to control it with ease)]
As expected of the female lead, even a casual imprint is a skill worth 82 points.
With the help of facial expression control, he quickly got into the zone.
The tense and congested body slowly relaxes.
what!
Zhu Manli was surprised.
Getting into the zone so quickly?
Newbie?
She looked at Liu Qing beside her in surprise.
Why are you looking at me? Are you a newbie now?
Liu Qing's expression was gloomy.
Directors, regardless of gender, are all short-tempered.
I just gave Shen Mo two pointers, and I'm feeling quite agitated.
Being a director, she naturally has a keen eye for talent.
She even noticed Shen Mo's state earlier than Zhu Manli.
He subconsciously made a gesture.
Everyone sprang into action instantly.
"Scene 1, Shot 1, Action..."
Zhu Manli grabbed the belt and started pulling, and Shen Mo understood immediately.
In his drunken stupor, his eyes trembled slightly, his eyelashes fluttered, and he groggily awoke.
My body felt like it was being pulled by something. I forced my eyes open and saw a pair of long, white woman's hands with meticulously crafted nails.
and many more!
A woman's hands?
He suddenly opened his eyes wide, all signs of drunkenness gone.
His gaze shifted upwards, and a woman with slightly flushed cheeks, flowing hair, and a slightly flustered look in her eyes sat on him.
Feeling lost and confused, her eyes kept darting back and forth between herself and the other person.
Zhu Manli, who was riding a horse, clearly lost patience and stopped.
"You have ten seconds to untie her yourself."
A hint of panic appeared in Shen Mo's eyes.
"How can this be!"
"I don't know you at all!"
"I was framed and ate something unclean. Help me this once, and I'll take responsibility."
"Otherwise, this medicine will kill me!"
After saying that, without waiting for Shen Mo's reaction, he bent down directly.
moment.
Arms entwined, lips pressed together...
I'm performing! I'm performing!
Shen Mo gripped the blanket tightly with both hands and opened his eyes.
Sensing his struggle, Zhu Manli instantly increased her strength and pressed down on him.
She firmly cupped his cheeks with both hands.
"Cut!"
"Great, one take!"
Liu Qing was overjoyed.
Shen Mo's performance exceeded her expectations, which was also due to Zhu Manli's effective guidance.
"Not bad, quite skilled."
Zhu Manli stood up and gave him a flirtatious look.
"Next scene, Shen Mo, take off your clothes."
Shen Mo was stunned.
No!
Do you really think I'm an expert?
He was a newbie just a moment ago!
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up!"
Short drama production places great emphasis on efficiency.
Due to insufficient equipment and other issues, many shots were filmed from multiple angles and repeated several times.
However, this problem did not exist in Liu Qing's film crew.
Nothing more than having money!
Shen Mo quickly took off his shirt.
On set, everyone gasped.
"This guy's got real stuff!"
"Pah! Zhu Manli got off easy."
"Holy crap! This kid's even stronger than me!"
Glug...
Liu Qing's throat tightened; she was deeply disappointed in herself.
She hadn't eaten meat in so long that even a small piece whetted her appetite.
No way, I have to go to Jiudong Bridge tonight for a treat.
If I want to eat, there's no shortage of meat; I won't eat what Tu Jiaojiao spilled.
"Scene 2, Shot 1, First Take, Action..."
……
"That's a good day, let's call it a day!"
At Liu Qing's command, the entire crew instantly sprang into action.
Collect equipment, contact vehicles, move things...
"Sister Liu, are you sure this is a virgin?"
Some people call her Director Liu, but no one calls her Sister Liu.
As Zhu Manli put on her shoes, she asked.
"My friend introduced him to me. She said he was a live streamer, and when I asked her, she said he had never acted before."
Liu Qing was also puzzled.
Logically speaking, I've seen countless people, but today I've been pecked in the eye by an eagle.
Although Shen Mo had a few NGs, the overall performance was very smooth.
In particular, there were two scenes where she was prepared to have ten takes, but after the first take, the other actor quickly adjusted and got it right the second time.
"Are all the livestreamers eating this well now?" Zhu Manli was also surprised.
"Get some rest, we have to get up early tomorrow!"
"The demand for short dramas has increased recently, so your time to shine might be coming soon."
"Huh? Didn't they already arrive?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qing laughed and cursed in silence:
"Let's channel our flirtatious energy elsewhere."
At the entrance of Fanxing Village, Shen Mo was about to hail a taxi when a Panda Mini pulled up in front of him.
Zhu Manli rolled down the car window.
"In a hurry? Get in the car, I'll give you a ride."
Thanks.
Shen Mo didn't stand on ceremony.
"Panda Express, 35 yuan to the city center."
"No problem. Please hurry, sir."
"Don't worry, I'm a seasoned driver with only a month of experience, driving a Panda Ferrari."
Zhu Manli tossed her hair a few times, and the car started moving.
