Chapter 464: A Lifeless Life

“Director Chen, this is my favorite milk tea. Try it.” Ling Sheng treated the film crew to milk tea. Zhou Zhou and Little Ye were distributing it, so she brought a cup over to Chen Mo.

When he saw her, Chen Mo’s mood improved a little. He took a sip of the milk tea and smiled happily. When the handsome man smiled, he was extremely charming. “It’s nice. Your taste is just like mine.”

Ling Sheng smiled as she looked at Gu Shen, whose face was dark as he stood beside her. She felt an unknown fire burning within him. She scanned her surroundings curiously and realized that everyone was very quiet.

The male and female leads, Sheng Xichen and Fang Hua, were reading the script and their lines not far away. The supporting actors were doing the same. After thanking her for the milk tea, they started to get busy.

Soon, the break ended.

Then, the next scene started.

Ling Sheng watched from the side. It was a scene between Gu Shen and Sheng Xichen. She finally understood why everyone was silent as a cicada in the winter and looked like they had nothing to live for.

Director Chen Mo’s requirements were really strict. If one’s expression was not on point during a scene, one’s actions would not be on point and one’s emotions would not be on point. NG!

It was an unending series of NG! NG! NG!

It would be fine if it was just an NG, but he would go into a tirade. He did not scold people by being vulgar. He could pick any part of them that was not good. It was as though he used a microscope to observe a person’s acting skills. The point was that he was right. One could not prove him wrong.

As an experienced person, Fang Hua sat beside her and comforted her. “Director Chen Mo is only serious and strict when he’s working. He’s very approachable in private.”

Once he reached the filming site and started filming, he immediately entered another state of mind and started to find faults in everything. It was not a nice thing to say, but some people even thought he was being picky.

Sheng Xichen was not bad in this scene. However, Gu Shen was being criticized for all kinds of faults. He even went over personally to guide him and teach him how to act.

Ling Sheng shivered. Could she also be scolded badly when it was her turn? Just thinking about it scared her. She knew her limits and did not dare compete with Senior Fang Hua and Sheng Xichen’s acting skills.

Best Actor Sheng had been scolded a few times, so she would definitely be scolded to death. She had to mentally prepare herself to prevent her heart from hurting when she was scolded.

“Senior Fang Hua, has this always been the case?” Ling Sheng asked softly.

“It was more serious in the beginning. Now, the actors have already passed the initial filming stage. It’s much better than the past two days.” Fang Hua did not say anything else. On the first day, she had really wanted to leave. You can find someone else who is willing to work with you! I’m not!

However, on second thought, he had been right. Thus, she had endured it.

Besides, after he reprimanded someone, he would apologize to them after work, making them feel a little embarrassed to say anything.

Gu Shen could not take it anymore, especially considering that Ling Sheng was still watching. He held his breath. He had to act well and not let her laugh at him.

After 30 NGs, it was finally over. If an actor had weaker mental fortitude, they would definitely not be able to take this blow.

Nowadays, one rarely saw a director as strict and demanding as Chen Mo. Many people would even casually fool the audience. As long as an actor’s acting skills were passable, that would be enough.

Besides, when there was a big-name celebrity and a small-time director, the director did not dare speak, fearing that he would offend the celebrity. His future career would then be in danger.

As for the popular idols, a director did not dare offend them. Fans were like mad dogs. If you dare make my idol suffer, I will bite you to death! I will chase after you and curse you until you start doubting life.
