Huayu Entertainment: It was the young actress who took the initiative.

Chen Mo was woken up by his alarm clock at five o'clock the next morning.

In Hengdian, the sky was still dark in the early morning, and the air was filled with a damp and cold mist.

Today we're filming Donghua Dijun's first scene at Kunlunxu.

Dressed in purple with white hair, sitting and playing the zither, Bai Fengjiu accidentally stumbled into a forbidden area, and the two met for the first time.

The makeup artist muttered as she put the wig on him:

"Teacher Chen's skin is in such good condition, she doesn't even need to apply any base makeup."

Hey, doesn't your figure look even better? You weren't like this when you tried on clothes before...

She blushed halfway through her sentence.

Chen Mo smiled but didn't say anything.

The effect of the entry is visible to the naked eye.

After finishing her makeup and hair, she changed into a purple costume.

Even he himself was stunned for a moment when he stood in front of the mirror.

The combination of "ethereal and otherworldly demeanor" and "fitness enthusiast" makes the image of Donghua Dijun even more vivid and lifelike.

That ethereal quality wasn't something acted out; it emanated from within.

His upright posture and smooth muscle lines were faintly visible beneath the loose costume, and his eyes were calm as an ancient well, unfathomable.

Eight o'clock, on set.

The filming area for "Three Lives Three Worlds" is already bustling with activity.

The crew was adjusting the lights, director Lin Yufen was sitting in front of the monitor looking at the storyboard, and Yang Mi and Zhao Youting were rehearsing their lines.

When Chen Mo walked in, the set fell silent for a moment.

Several staff members stopped what they were doing and stared at him blankly.

"Oh My God……"

Someone muttered quietly, "This look is amazing."

"I thought the promotional photos from yesterday were beautiful, but I didn't expect the moving images to be even more stunning."

"This aura is absolutely amazing; he truly embodies the spirit of Emperor Donghua."

Lin Yufen looked up from behind the monitor, her eyes lighting up:

"Good! That's the feeling! Chen Mo, go practice your positioning and familiarize yourself with the scene."

Chen Mo nodded and walked into the prepared Kunlun Void scene.

This is an interior set built according to the script.

White jade steps, wisps of smoke rising, a guqin in the center, and behind it a huge screen painted with landscape scrolls.

He followed the director's instructions and tried several angles.

The movements were natural and fluid, with a rhythmic sway of the robe sleeves, as if one had truly lived in this Kunlun Mountains for millions of years.

"Chen Mo, for the scene where you play the guqin, we need close-ups of your hands."

Lin Yufen walked over and asked, "Can you play? If not, we have a substitute player."

"I know a little," Chen Mo said.

In his previous life, during his years as an extra, he learned a little bit of all sorts of miscellaneous skills.

I'm not an expert at playing the guqin, but I can at least pretend to play it.

"Okay, you give it a try first."

Chen Mo sat down in front of the guqin, his fingers lightly touching the strings.

Although he didn't actually play, his posture was spot-on, and the movements of his fingers and the focus in his eyes were just like the state of playing the zither.

"good!"

Lin Yufen clapped her hands, "This feels right! Where's Dilraba? Is Dilraba ready?"

"Here it comes!"

Dilraba ran over, already dressed in Feng Jiu's pink costume, with fox ear-shaped hair accessories on her head.

When she saw Chen Mo, she paused, her cheeks flushing slightly.

Chen Mo today... was so impactful.

I was already amazed when we read it yesterday, but today, with the complete makeup and styling, and enhanced by the lighting and setting, her ethereal beauty almost overflowed.

"Reba, what are you daydreaming about?" Lin Yufen called out to her.

"Huh? No, no!" Reba quickly walked over and stood opposite Chen Mo.

This scene depicts Feng Jiu accidentally entering Kunlun Mountain, seeing Donghua Dijun playing the zither, and falling in love at first sight.

There aren't many lines; the acting mainly relies on eye contact and facial expressions.

"All departments, prepare!"

After Lin Yufen returned to the monitor, she announced, "Scene 1, Shot 1 of 'Three Lives Three Worlds,' Action!"

The stage manager claps the clapperboard.

The set fell silent instantly.

Chen Mo sat in front of the guqin, his fingers lightly touching the strings, his eyes slightly lowered, as if deep in thought.

His profile was sharply defined under the light, his purple clothes made his skin appear even whiter, and his white hair was as white as snow.

She was like a jade sculpture, unreal in her beauty, yet exuding a cold and aloof demeanor that kept people at a distance.

Then, Dilraba's character, Feng Jiu, burst into the frame.

The moment she saw Chen Mo, the panic in her eyes turned into amazement, and then into infatuation.

This is not an act.

Dilraba herself couldn't tell whether her racing heart was due to getting into character or because of the person in front of her.

"Emperor, Your Majesty..."

Her voice trembled slightly, carrying a girl's shyness and awe.

Chen Mo slowly raised his eyes.

At that moment, everyone on set held their breath.

The entry for the phrase "[Eyes that convey emotion]" is now fully available.

His gaze shifted from blank to focused, from indifference to a subtle hint of amusement.

There weren't many changes in his expression, but everyone could sense it.

Emperor Donghua noticed the little fox.

"Who has trespassed into Kunlun Mountain?"

His voice rang out, and with its storytelling quality, each word seemed to fall onto a jade plate—clear, cool, and magnetic.

Dilraba was completely immersed in the role.

She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but forgot the words.

"Card!"

Lin Yufen called a halt, "Reba, forgot your lyrics?"

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"

Reba came to her senses, her face flushed red, "I...I'll start over."

"It's okay, I was in a good mood just now."

Lin Yufen laughed instead, "Keep it up. Chen Mo, your expression just now was excellent, keep acting like that."

On the second take, Dilraba adjusted her mindset and this time she didn't forget the lyrics.

The two exchanged few lines, but the chemistry between them captivated everyone watching from behind the monitor.

"Absolutely amazing."

Zhao Youting stood behind Lin Yufen and said softly,

"This guy's good, he's a really good actor."

Zhang Zhiyao nodded in agreement: "He has a very stable presence, not at all like a newcomer."

And look at his scenes with Dilraba; he controls the rhythm, and Dilraba is completely drawn into the scene.

Zhang Binbin stood a little distance away, his expression complex.

Chen Mo's performance during yesterday's reading session surprised him, and watching today's performance...

This acting, this aura, it's totally Donghua Dijun himself.

The key point is that he's also incredibly handsome.

Zhang Binbin touched his face and sighed inwardly, "Why was I born if I'm already here..."

Yang Mi sat next to the director without saying a word.

She stared intently at Chen Mo's close-up shot on the monitor.

This man surprised her every time she saw him.

The stunning performance at the audition, the composure during the reading session, and the presence on set today…

He seems to be constantly evolving, getting better each time than the last.

And Dilraba's reaction just now...

Yang Mi glanced at Dilraba, who was touching up her makeup. The girl's cheeks were still flushed, and her eyes kept glancing at Chen Mo.

This scene was filmed in three takes and it was done.

Lin Yufen was very satisfied:

"Excellent! Chen Mo, Dilraba, your chemistry is fantastic. Keep it up, and the rest of the filming should go smoothly."

In the following scenes, Chen Mo delivered a stable performance.

There is a scene where Donghua Dijun is lost in thought alone in Kunlun Mountain, with no lines at all, relying entirely on his eyes and micro-expressions.

Chen Mo portrayed that sense of loneliness that has lasted for millennia.

Behind the monitor, Lin Yufen nodded repeatedly: "Many veteran actors can't do this kind of eye acting."

During the lunch break, Chen Mo ate in the rest area.

The crew's boxed lunches weren't lavish, but he ate them very attentively.

"Chen Mo".

Zhao Youting walked over with a lunchbox and sat down next to him. "You performed well today."

"Thank you, Brother Ting."

"You're welcome."

Zhao Youting smiled. "Your acting skills don't seem like those of a newcomer. Have you studied it before?"

"I attended acting classes for a few months and figured things out on my own," Chen Mo said honestly.

"Then you really have talent."

Zhao Youting said earnestly, "If you keep this up, you'll definitely become famous after this show airs."

"Thank you for your kind words, Brother Ting."

Not far away, Zhang Zhiyao, also carrying a lunchbox, watched Chen Mo and Zhao Youting chatting from behind and said to his assistant:

"This young man has good acting skills and high emotional intelligence. Look at how he speaks to You Ting; he's neither humble nor arrogant, and his manner is just right."

The assistant nodded: "Indeed. And with his appearance today, I reckon he'll gain a lot of fans once the show airs."

The afternoon's scene was with Yang Mi.

Bai Qian came to Kunlun Mountain to borrow the Kunlun Mirror, where she had her first formal confrontation with Emperor Donghua.

This scene has a lot of dialogue and complex emotions.

He had to maintain the emperor's dignity while also revealing his appreciation for Bai Qian and his subtle concern for her.

Before filming began, Yang Mi walked up to Chen Mo and asked, "Are you nervous?"

"good."

"take it easy."

Yang Mi looked at him with a comforting gaze.

"Act like you would during a reading aloud."

Once filming began, Chen Mo certainly didn't disappoint her.

He held his own against an experienced opponent like Yang Mi.

The dialogue was clear, the emotions were on point, and every change in expression was just right.

In one scene, the two looked at each other, and a very faint smile flashed in Donghua Dijun's eyes. It was fleeting, but Yang Mi caught it.

At that moment, Yang Mi's heart skipped a beat.

It wasn't Bai Qian's reaction to Donghua Dijun, but Yang Mi's reaction to Chen Mo.

"Card!"

Lin Yufen called a stop, "That take is good! Mimi, Chen Mo, you two coordinated very well!"

Yang Mi took a deep breath to calm her racing heart.

She went to the monitor to watch the playback.

The moment she and Chen Mo locked eyes in the shot, the subtle chemistry... even surprised her.

"How is it?"

Lin Yufen asked with a smile.

"He...he really can act."

"It's not just about performing."

Lin Yufen lowered her voice, "This young man has a limitless future."

Yang Mi didn't say anything, she just looked at the close-up of Chen Mo on the monitor.

When he finished work in the evening, Chen Mo changed his clothes and prepared to return to the hotel.

Dilraba caught up: "Chen Mo!"

"Um?"

"Thank you for today."

Dilraba blushed slightly, "You acted so well, you completely drew me into the play."

"It's because you acted well," Chen Mo smiled.

"No, it's true."

Dilraba said earnestly, "In all my years of acting, I have rarely encountered an co-star like you... who can completely immerse me in the role."

Her eyes sparkled as she said this, as if they held stars.

Chen Mo looked at her and suddenly remembered the way she looked at him on set earlier today.

"We have another scene together tomorrow, let's do our best together."

"Um!"

Dilraba nodded vigorously, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with a smile.
