Chapter 59: You...have to wait in line!
The car quickly took everyone to the designated location.
The director deliberately chose an ordinary street scene, and it was already afternoon.
Sunlight streamed freely onto the ground, and the surrounding buildings became quiet.
The staff began adjusting the equipment, and Li Mo and his companion started familiarizing themselves with the script. Once everything was ready, filming was about to begin.
As directed by the director, Li Mo is to have his first encounter with Li Yitong here, and the focus of this part is actually on Li Mo.
All Li Yitong had to do was walk by beautifully.
With the director's shout of "Action!", filming officially began.
Unexpectedly, things went wrong at this very first step, and the person in question was Li Yitong.
"Xiao Li, you need to make your expression more natural; this is too forced!"
The director sat in his seat and spoke earnestly.
Unexpectedly, Li Yitong didn't react much; instead, it was Li Mo who spoke.
"When will you direct?"
That's the downside of having the same surname; if you call out "Little Li," Li Mo will turn around too.
"Um... I'm sorry, Teacher Li Mo didn't mean you, she called you Yi Tong."
The director explained, and Li Yitong, who was watching the scene from the side, then realized that he was talking about her.
So he quickly stepped forward and began to apologize.
"Ah... I'm sorry, director, it was my mistake, I'll fix it right away..."
five minutes later,
"Yitong, watch your eyes. Don't let your gaze wander."
The director frowned, still not quite satisfied with Li Yitong's expression on camera.
This is a normal behavior for newcomers. Many times, they feel that they have the right emotions and that everything is fine.
But in the eyes of others, in the eyes of the director, in the eyes of the audience... it's still not enough!
That's why I have little acting experience.
This is because everyone has different facial expression habits, and the amount of emotional expression varies depending on external conditions.
Especially the latter, some people's appearances may only require one look, while others may need to be exaggerated.
This is a point that every newcomer needs a lot of practice and refinement to gradually master.
Except for a few exceptionally gifted individuals, most people need to go through this period.
Take Li Mo for example.
If it weren't for the help of the "Girl's Television" that helped Li Mo find that key point, he wouldn't have been able to improve so quickly.
I received praise from the director of "Swords of Legends" and learned from my colleagues.
After all, the function of "Girl's TV" is to create the most suitable performance for you based on your image, just like in a girl's fantasy.
Specializing in idol dramas!
After about eight or nine adjustments, and considering that this part wasn't actually that difficult, everyone finally finished filming it.
The director glanced at the finished film, nodded, and then began filming the next scene.
The next segment was a sweet interaction between the two, and the director simply didn't give any instructions, letting them improvise freely.
This would allow Li Yitong's actions to be as natural as possible, especially since Li Mo was in charge.
I believe we'll be able to capture something quite unique!
Li Mo had prepared for multiple repetitions, but unexpectedly, Li Yitong performed quite well in this part.
Although it was our first meeting, there was no awkwardness.
Li Yitong kept looking at Li Mo with her crescent-shaped eyes. The two of them stared at the gentle sunlight overhead, laughing, chasing, and playing around on the street.
Later, there were scenes of them feeding each other snacks, snuggling together on the street, taking photos together, and Li Yitong riding on Li Mo's shoulders.
The two acted as if they were truly a couple deeply in love, behaving very naturally.
In the final scene, the director felt that some more things could be added.
"Teacher Li Mo, you can lie down on the chair. Then, Xiao Li, you stand at the head of Teacher Li Mo, bend down, and touch the tip of Teacher Li Mo's nose from above."
"Yes, yes, that's it, excellent!"
"The goal is to create a feeling of being almost intimate, not quite. A full kiss wouldn't be as beautiful!"
Li Yitong executed every instruction from the director perfectly in this part.
The difference from the previous part was so obvious that not only Li Mo noticed it, but the director and other staff members also saw it.
This girl is really taking it as a relationship!
Even after this part ended, the director said, half-complaining and half-jokingly:
"So the problem was with the script! We should have arranged a sweet, everyday romance between you and Teacher Li Mo!"
Everyone laughed after she said that, making Li Yitong feel incredibly embarrassed: "No, it's all thanks to Teacher Li Mo's excellent teaching!"
Li Yitong reached out and tucked a stray hair behind her ear; it was indeed as people had said.
During the filming process, I seemed to forget the existence of the camera, and all I expressed were my feelings at that moment.
Li Mo was already used to this kind of occasion; he even stood with everyone else and teased Li Yitong together.
"Really? But wasn't Teacher Li the one who was doing the show just now?"
Li Yitong recalled that, for some reason, when Li Mo caught up with her from behind and hugged her from behind, she had instinctively kissed Li Mo's cheek.
That's so embarrassing!
Li Yitong pursed her lips, lowered her head and remained silent. Now she could even figure out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes.
Everyone on set was laughing, except for Lao Wang, who looked somber in the crowd.
Now another one is coming? Three in total, can I, Wang, really handle it?
After all, it's just a short clip with limited runtime, and soon it came to the last segment of the entire clip.
Li Yitong, wearing Bose headphones, was listening to music when Li Mo appeared from behind her, marking their first encounter.
Li Yitong was in great form, and by around 5 p.m., the filming for GG was completely finished.
This collaboration was quite pleasant, but ultimately it was just a one-off deal between Li Mo and them.
We'll see if fate allows us to meet again.
After saying goodbye to each other, the staff began to pack up the props. Li Mo returned to the car first, while Lao Wang did the finishing touches outside.
As for Li Yitong...
She was tidying up with Lao Wang at that moment, and she hadn't forgotten what she had just thought.
"Brother Wang, how long have you been with Teacher Li Mo?"
"Not for long."
"Brother Wang, does Teacher Li Mo like to joke around?"
"It depends on the situation."
"Brother Wang, what does Teacher Li Mo like to eat?"
"Brother Wang..."
"stop!"
Old Wang couldn't take it anymore. He kept calling him "Brother Wang," so why didn't he do some work for his "Brother Wang"? His attention was completely off the job.
You've been folding those clothes for a minute... Do you think I, Old Wang, wouldn't know what you're up to?
The problem is... there's still someone ahead of you who hasn't finished yet!
"Young lady, I know what you're thinking. And I'll give you a piece of advice!"
"What did you say?"
Li Yitong earnestly asked for advice, but Old Wang tilted his head, smirked, sized her up, and said:
"You... can join your Brother Mo's family, but... you'll have to wait in line!"
