This director is vindictive.

Chapter 364 Two Ways to Eat Snot: Cute Kids' Buffet vs. Movie Star's Occupational Meal

If "Micro Continuum Original" is the culmination of his ten years of hard work, then at this moment, that hard work has been completely negated—ten years of perseverance have come to nothing.

But at least he still has love!
Even though Jiang Xue was far away in a foreign country, she was still the last ray of light that kept him alive.

However, the scene that truly broke him was far more brutal than the previous scenes of his breakdown and venting.

In this scene, he witnesses a handkerchief, a symbol of love, being used to wipe his nose. This action completely shatters his obsession with love and the past, becoming the final blow that breaks his spirit.

Of course, for Hu Ge, the most difficult part of this scene was not acting skills, but the details.

Why? Because in the original story, that scene was only spoken by Old Mac.

The original text reads: "Old Kang sneezed. Then He Xi went mad. I don't understand what happened either, but that's what I saw. It's really weird."

"He Xi rushed over and pinched Lao Kang's nose, saying, 'I told you to blow your nose, I told you to blow your nose.' He even snatched Lao Kang's handkerchief. After snatching it, he pressed his face against it and kissed it over and over again."

Old Mai shook his head in disgust. "His nose was covered in sticky snot. After that, he stopped talking, not a word. He wouldn't say a word no matter what anyone else did."

Converting text into images is not a simple task.

The text is only a few words, but when performing, the actors need to highlight the emotional expression.

Of course, the most crucial element is the snot! He has to kiss the snot in this scene.

Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, Huang Bo immediately became anxious.

"No, director, are we really filming? I'm not even ready yet," Huang Bo said helplessly.

"Prepare what?" Chen Mo asked irritably.

"Snot!" Huang Bo said, both amused and exasperated.

Because it was the first day of filming, Chen Mo changed the plan again, so even though he was an award-winning actor, he couldn't finish it right away!

"Then how do you plan to prepare?" Chen Mo knew that Huang Bo really couldn't be blamed for this.

"We have to find something stimulating to get us going, otherwise we won't be able to sneeze!" Huang Bo said with a sheepish smile.

"That's easy, just add some chili powder!" Chen Mo said with a mischievous grin.

Huang Bo's face immediately scrunched up into a bitter expression.

"Fine, you're the director, you call the shots!" He shook his head helplessly.

"But, is it really necessary to be so harsh? Are you really going to let Hu Ge kiss your snot?" Huang Bo suddenly widened his eyes and said.

"No need, just use some gel, it'll look like it!" Chen Mo wasn't so perverted as to actually let Hu Ge kiss his snot.

It's disgusting to even think about. He Xi broke down and went crazy, but Hu Ge didn't actually go crazy. Although it's just filming, and everyone says actors should be dedicated, there's really no need to be so disgusting.

Chen Mo wasn't that perverted to do such a thing.

Moreover, if he were actually made to do that, it would probably backfire. If forced to kiss Hu Ge's snot, he could probably grit his teeth and do it, but it would likely become a lifelong nightmare.

Okay, it's not that exaggerated. Some people might say that many kids ate snot when they were little, but the problem is, that was when they were little, and eating your own snot and eating someone else's snot are two completely different things.

Besides, the kid was doing it unintentionally, and it wasn't that exaggerated—kissing him with snot right up his nose, okay?

"Alright, get ready in half an hour!" Chen Mo shouted to the script supervisor.

The script supervisor quickly grabbed a megaphone and shouted to everyone.

The site was set up immediately.

This scene is not an indoor scene, but an outdoor scene.

Huang Bo was already preparing. Actually, sneezing is quite easy. Although he hadn't really thought about having Hu Ge kiss the snot, it was true that you had to expel snot when you sneeze.

So Huang Bo needs to be prepared; one or two sneezes definitely won't produce any snot.

Huang Bo clutched a small packet of chili powder, his expression as tragic as if he were about to be executed: "Director Chen, this stuff is way stronger than Tsingtao beer. If I end up turning the set into a fire later, please don't dock my pay!"

Chen Mo suppressed a laugh and handed over a tissue: "Don't worry, if you spray snot on Hu Ge's face, it's considered a work injury."

Hu Ge immediately jumped three meters away: "Brother Bo, you sneezed in front of the electric fan! I was just acting crazy in this scene, not trying to get pickled into a chopped chili fish head!"

Suddenly, the stage manager raised a megaphone and announced, "Teacher Huang, we only have industrial fans, with speed starting at level three!"

"Hahaha!" The scene immediately erupted in joyful laughter.

"Good heavens, are you guys making a movie or making dried bacon?" Huang Bo muttered as he poured chili powder into his palm, then suddenly turned to the makeup artist and asked, "Sister, if my snot washes off my makeup, will that be considered a production accident?"

The makeup artist silently pulled out a waterproof setting spray: "I've applied five layers of setting spray for you, even if you run a snotty Yellow River, it won't come off!"

"Achoo!!" Huang Bo finally managed to inhale the chili powder into his nose; anyone who tries it knows how it tastes.

"Achoo!!" Another one!
Then his eyes immediately turned red, mainly because he was choked by the chili powder!

Chen Mo silently asked the photographer to faithfully record this scene.

We can use this as promotional material later!

As the chili powder entered his nose, Huang Bo felt so uncomfortable that tears streamed down his face.

But what worried him was that the snot just wouldn't come out.

What could he do? He had no choice but to keep going. He sneezed five times in a row, but no snot came out. Frustrated, he exclaimed, "These sneezes are like a stuck tractor—all noise, no output!"

"Ah!"

Finally, the seventh sneeze produced the "result." Huang Bo, holding a tissue soaked in snot, laughed and cried at the same time: "It's out! This snot is harder to get than the Best Actor trophy!"

God knows how he got through it; the experience was absolutely unbearable.

At this moment, the surprise of snot is as surprising as the birth of a child; it's been such a long and difficult time.

"Quickly, hurry up, everyone to your positions, we're ready to start filming! Hu Ge, get ready! Zhu Yulong, get ready!" Chen Mo shouted hurriedly.

Huang Bo walked to his position while sneezing and took his place in advance!

Hu Ge and Zhu Yulong also arrived at their positions, but since the scene would be filmed in two separate takes, they didn't need to rush.

It's just about preparing in advance.

As the script supervisor slammed the clapperboard, Huang Bo took a deep drag on his chili powder.

Suddenly, his nostrils flared, his eyes widened like copper bells, and the veins on his neck bulged, yet he managed to hold it in—the sneeze stuck in his nasal cavity made a comical "coughing" sound, like a train suddenly braking.

Just as everyone was trying not to laugh, he suddenly leaned back and sneezed, using the centrifugal force, "Achoo!!"

A deafening spurt erupted. The snot bubble traced a perfect parabola in the air before falling, leaving the nose red and two strands of snot hanging from the nostrils.

"The air quality in China is terrible! I'm not used to it!" he said with a laugh, reciting his lines.

Then he picked up the handkerchief that He Xi and Jiang Xue had used as a token of their love and used it to wipe his nose. The handkerchief had a clear river on it, and white snowflakes were falling from the sky.

"Click! That's a pass!" Chen Mo shouted, staring at the monitor!
Yang Mi watched in disbelief: "Brother Bo, was your sneeze blessed by the Shaolin Temple?"

Huang Bo rubbed his red nose and said in a muffled voice, "This is called the Qingdao School of Sneezing Kung Fu. It's all about speed, accuracy, and power! Ah-choo! Wait for the aftereffects! Ah-choo! Ah-choo!"

He sneezed three times in a row, the last one blowing his wig off and onto the light fixture.

The set erupted in laughter, with even Chen Mo behind the monitor slapping his thigh and shouting, "This has to be a bonus feature! We should show Huang Bo's triple sneeze in the end credits!"

Teacher Liu Lili couldn't help but wipe away tears of laughter and add, "Little Huang, your sneeze is more shocking than your acting."

"Alright, enough joking around. Hu Ge, Zhu Yulong, get ready! Bo Ge, stay focused! Try not to sneeze! Let's get ready for the next take!" Chen Mo then shouted.

"Action!" The script supervisor slammed the clapperboard down.

The drama of utter collapse has begun!
The moment Lao Mai, played by Zhu Yulong, saw the handkerchief, he tried to block He Xi's view with his hand, but forgot that it was useless!
Chen Mo sat behind the monitor, watching the screen.

The camera zooms in on Hu Ge's face.

Hu Ge's gaze suddenly froze—Huang Bo was blowing his nose with the handkerchief he had given Jiang Xue as a token of their love, the blue and white threads twisting into a murky vortex in the sticky snot. Hu Ge's Adam's apple bobbed twice, and the air on set seemed to be sucked out.

After ten years of hard work being destroyed in an instant, Jiang Xue was his last remaining "hope".

But when Lao Kang used this handkerchief, a token of his love that he regarded as a testament to their affection, to wipe his nose, he completely broke down.

"I told you to blow your nose! I told you to blow your nose!"

Suddenly, Hu Ge pounced on Huang Bo like a wild beast, clamping her ten fingers tightly around his nose. Huang Bo's eyes rolled back as she was choked, and her snotty handkerchief slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground. As Hu Ge knelt down to snatch the handkerchief back, her fingernails scraped harshly against the concrete, her knuckles turning bluish-white from the excessive force.

After snatching the handkerchief, Hu Ge's panting sounded like a broken bellows. He stared at the clump of gel-like snot in the center of the handkerchief (made by the prop team using transparent glue and food coloring), and suddenly let out a strange sound somewhere between a howl and a cold laugh, burying his entire face in the slime. When he kissed it, his lips and snot stretched into thin strands, and his eyelashes were covered with shiny, sticky substance, making him look like a suffocating goldfish.

“CUT!” Chen Mo shouted.

Then replay the previous message.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Liu Lili practically pushed through the crowd and rushed over, roughly rubbing Hu Ge's face with a wet wipe: "Silly boy! The director already said they used gel, why are you still arguing!"

Hu Ge slumped like a limp rag, staring at her hands covered in "snot" and muttering to herself.

His eyes were vacant, as if his soul had been ripped out.

Clearly, he hadn't completely snapped out of character yet.

No matter how much Liu Lili wiped, there was no reaction, which made Liu's mother very anxious.

Fortunately, Hu Ge recovered quickly.

However, the next moment, he couldn't help but gag.

Liu Lili quickly handed him a bottle of mineral water.

He gulped down half a bottle before explaining in a hoarse voice, "The gel has no smell, but all I can think about is Huang Bo's dozen or so sneezes just now."

Upon hearing this, Huang Bo from next door, whether intentionally or simply unable to hold back, let out another "Achoo!"

Hu Ge jumped up reflexively: "Damn it, Brother Bo, are you kidding me?!"

"I didn't do it on purpose, achoo!" Huang Bo was actually in the worst situation right now.

His eyes and nose were completely red, making him look like a clown, especially his nose, which was almost malfunctioning from the chili powder.

I kept rinsing it with water, but the aftereffects were just too damn strong.

It made him want to sneeze uncontrollably.

"I haven't even said anything to you yet! Ouch, my nose was already really sore, and you were hitting me so hard just now! Achoo!" Huang Bo said resentfully, then couldn't help but sneeze again!
