Fang Yang, a struggling bar singer, soul-transferred into a parallel universe where he inherited a dying website and a music academy, graduating from a student who lost both parents. He revived th...
Zhou Xin downed another large cup of tea in one gulp, closed her eyes and thought for a moment, "Hmm, it has a bit of the feel of a chivalrous person."
Fang Yang pointed to a large bowl of shredded potatoes that had just been served, "Come on, like me, pick up a big handful and eat it in one bite."
Following Fang Yang's instructions, Zhou Xin picked up a large mouthful of shredded potatoes, didn't put it back in the bowl, and ate it in one bite, her eyes filled with excited sparks.
At this moment, Fang Yang was like a goldfish uncle who was instigating children to go astray, completely opening Pandora's box in Zhou Xin's heart. Mo Sang had serious doubts about whether Zhou Xin's family would beat Fang Yang to death if they found out.
After Luo Cheng's efforts, the crayfish were served. Fang Yang once again demonstrated his teaching spirit, "Come on, try this crayfish. Actually, the most interesting part of peeling crayfish is the process of peeling them. Some people like to wear gloves, while others don't. As people of the martial arts world, how can we be so particular? Today, let's just peel the crayfish without gloves."
Fang Yang grabbed a crayfish, pinched off the head and tail, and in the blink of an eye, he had already prepared a piece of tender and bouncy shrimp meat. He then rubbed some soup under the shrimp plate before happily putting it into his mouth.
"The essence of crayfish lies in this broth. If you go to any restaurant and want more broth, it's like asking the owner for their life, it's incredibly difficult! Lao Luo was very generous today and gave us some broth, that's a huge favor."
Just then, Luo Cheng came in, holding a glass in one hand and a bottle of beer in the other. Hearing Fang Yang's words, he laughed and said, "Mr. Fang is a wise man. He even noticed this. Mr. Fang, let me toast you to thank you for your patronage of our shop."
Fang Yang chuckled and said, "Mr. Luo, you're too kind. I should be thanking you for solving our crew's worries. I salute you!"
The two exchanged a smile and then downed their beers in one gulp.
Later, Luo Cheng toasted Mo Sang, Mo Zhen, and Zhou Xin, said a few words, and then left the private room to entertain the others.
Having received Luo Cheng's personal confirmation, Zhou Xin no longer doubted Fang Yang's words. She stretched out her slender fingers, picked up a crayfish, and imitated Fang Yang by pinching off the head and tail. Her skill was extremely proficient. She turned the crayfish meat in the soup, put it in her mouth, chewed it, and then exclaimed in surprise, "It really is! The taste is indeed much more delicious!"
Mosang Moshen, not believing in superstition, peeled one anyway, dipped it in a little broth, and after eating it, she felt it was sweeter than without the broth, and had some other flavors that she couldn't quite describe, but it was definitely delicious.
Fang Yang's fingers never stopped, and he peeled four or five crayfish in an instant, which made Zhou Xin shout and join in the battle to grab the crayfish. She was so engrossed in eating that she kept picking up her teacup to toast with Fang Yang. She had completely lost her ladylike demeanor and had long since transformed into a commoner, enjoying her meal immensely.
Fang Yang and the Mo brothers exchanged a smile. This was the Xiao Yanzi they should have seen. They wondered if Zhou Xin could remember this moment and bring her to life the character.
As the night passed, filming resumed. Before shooting began, Fang Yang specifically called Zhou Xin over and asked, "Can you still remember how you felt last night? Do you have confidence?"
Zhou Xin nodded, "Don't worry, after I got back last night, I deliberately practiced it in my mind for half the night until I completely memorized it before I went to sleep. I'm sure I'll succeed today."
Fang Yang smiled and said, "That's good. You can rest for a bit, and we'll film your scene in the second one."
The first scene filmed for Ziwei was still a bit bumpy, but after three or four takes, it was finally filmed smoothly. Tan Xinlan, after all, was still too inexperienced. Even though Fang Yang personally demonstrated, it was inevitable that she would make some small mistakes in the midst of the chaos. All of this meant that it would be difficult for "Princess Pearl" to be filmed smoothly!
Around 10 o'clock, Zhou Xin made her appearance. Everyone was still immersed in the nightmare of Zhou Xin's more than ten takes yesterday. When they saw the scene being filmed with Zhou Xin, they couldn't help but groan in their hearts, "The nightmare is about to descend again!"
With Zhou Xin's appearance, the atmosphere became visibly tense. Fang Yang chuckled to himself, thinking that she had been tortured to the point of obsession.
This scene depicts Xiao Yanzi's first meeting with Ziwei. Zhou Xin's opening remarks immediately captivated the audience. With her down-to-earth mannerisms, Zhou Xin unleashed her full power, completely overwhelming Ziwei and leaving her on the defensive. Fortunately, in the play, Xiao Yanzi was the one who dominated the scene, and the weak Ziwei could only be led by the nose by Xiao Yanzi.
Zhou Xin's performance today shocked everyone. Is this the same Zhou Xin who was a nightmare yesterday, getting over ten takes? Did she suddenly figure it out overnight?
Zhou Xin's agent, Chen Qin, covered her face, unable to bear it any longer. Would this young lady, with her vulgar accent, get her legs broken by the boss's wife when she got home? How could the former heiress have changed so drastically overnight? Chen Qin simply couldn't stand it.
Zhou Xin, who was already fully in the shot, went absolutely crazy, filming more than a dozen scenes in a row. It wasn't until she had a scene with Tie Weimin that she showed signs of fatigue. Fang Yang called for a break at the right time. Thanks to Zhou Xin's exceptional performance, all of Zhou Xin's scenes from the previous days had been made up. Now that it was past mealtime, there was no need to keep pushing her.
After dinner, Fang Yang told Zhou Xin to go back to sleep. He didn't plan any more scenes for Zhou Xin today; they could film other people's scenes in the afternoon. There were still a lot of new recruits to train.
Spurred on by Zhou Xin's performance in the morning, the Fifth Prince, Fu Erkang, and Fu Ertai put in a lot of effort in the afternoon, wanting to give it their all. Although they went a bit overboard in some shots, after Fang Yang corrected them, they successfully completed their scheduled filming tasks in the afternoon.
Fang Yang was all smiles all afternoon. He never expected that a brilliant idea would lead to such a huge breakthrough for the entire crew. Although he didn't know if this good momentum would continue tomorrow, with today's success, he believed that things would go much more smoothly after that, as long as he focused on studying the script.
In the following days, Empress Ulanara and Rong Momo made their appearances one after another. With these veteran actors leading the way, the story progressed smoothly. As expected, the veteran actors were highly skilled, and even a group of newcomers were constantly improving.
Half a month later, four other film crews entered the Ming and Qing Palace one after another. More than a thousand people ran back and forth in the Ming and Qing Palace all day long, which made the Ming and Qing Palace lively. The popularity of the huge Ming and Qing Palace rose rapidly, and even tourists liked to go to the Ming and Qing Palace whenever they had nothing to do.
Tourists who come and go every day like to take pictures of the film crew whenever they have nothing to do. Although Fang Yang forbids tourists from recording videos, they can still sneak a few pictures. Before long, the news that Fang Yang led the film crew to film at Hengdian Ming and Qing Palace became a hot topic.
This has left many netizens puzzled. Compared to other directors who always like to hold press conferences and such, Fang Yang always prefers to hide in the background and develop secretly until one day he shocks everyone. Does this scene feel familiar?
