Shi Mo raised his eyes and looked over. When he saw Fang Mo’er’s smile, he was instantly stunned.
However, he quickly gathered his thoughts and turned his gaze, as if he was recalling something. He recalled the scene when he had first seen Fang Mo’er. After a moment of being lost in his thoughts, he suddenly remembered that he was still filming, so he quickly hid all his emotions.
He continued to walk at a leisurely pace and slowly walked away.
He constantly remembered not to show any signs that he cared.!!
Although his mind was still filled with Fang Mo’er’s smile that made everything pale in comparison, he still did not pay attention to her.
Director Wang was still immersed in Fang Mo’er’s smile.
Very quickly, he also saw that Shi Mo, who had never acted before, was able to control his character’s emotions very well. He was very surprised.
Director Wang shouted excitedly for them to cut.
Shi Mo and Fang Mo’er walked over.
Fang Mo’er said, “Director Wang, I might not have acted well just now. I can do it again.”
Director Wang said, “No, you did a good job.”
Shi Mo said helplessly, “I’m sorry, then it must be my fault. I was a little distracted just now and didn’t fully get into character yet.”
He had not gotten into character yet. The moment he had seen Fang Mo’er, his mind had wandered back to one of his memories, so he must not have acted well.
Shi Mo felt that he could do another retake.
Director Wang said, “There’s no need for a retake. You already acted very well!”
Fang Mo’er and Shi Mo looked at each other and the two of them went to check on the scene from before.
Fang Mo’er heaved a sigh of relief. “I feel that your acting was very well done. Look at this moment where you seem lost in your thoughts and memories, as well as the part where you portray the feeling of pretending to be a stranger. It’s very fitting.”
Shi Mo, “I really was lost in my thoughts just now.”
Fang Mo’er, “…”
Shi Mo continued, “Your acting was very good. The feeling of being amazed, the way you smirked, and that smile, every single detail was well controlled.”
Fang Mo’er, “Oh, is that so? I thought that it was quite interesting for you to act as a monk, so I laughed very playfully. Actually, I wasn’t really in character either.”
Director Wang, “…”
So, these two managed to complete a perfect scene purely by accident.
Director Wang, who had thought that perhaps these two of them had good acting skills, after all, now started to feel worried again.
It was true that they weren’t established movie stars yet, so how could they possibly have acted skillfully in the scene just now? It must have just been a coincidence.
However, it was a good thing that the scene just now was to be the opening scene of the story.
If they shot well at the beginning, they might be able to trick the audience into staying and continuing to watch.
As for the rest, they would do their best.
Director Wang felt that he was under a lot of pressure. These two artistes were still too inexperienced and had yet to enter the role properly. He still needed to give them proper guidance later.
Next, they changed the scene.
It was the temple where the demoness had sneaked in.
She would be bewitching the monk who was trying to meditate.
The monk was clearly confused, but he pretended not to care and continued to meditate. However, beads of sweat had already started dripping down his forehead.
The demoness said, “Your body is much more honest than you are.”
She smiled and left.
For this scene, Fang Mo’er was still worried that Shi Mo would find it difficult, hence, she had given him some important pointers in advance, “You only need to think about other things in your heart. Don’t listen to what I say. Just be unmoved and feel a little annoyed.”
Shi Mo nodded, indicating that such a scene was a small matter.
Then, the filming began.
Director Wang was still sitting in front of the camera. He shouted for them to cut and then looked nervously at the camera.
This scene was different from the one they had done earlier, of their encounter on the road. If they did not act well with their eyes, he would get the actors to try giving a variety of looks. There would surely be a look that embodied some of the flavor from the script that could be edited in. The looks that did not work would be edited out.
Director Wang had not gotten the chance to use this plan earlier.
However, this scene was much more difficult now..
