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

Soon it was time for Chen Mo to finish filming.

Iron Spear Temple appeared somewhat dilapidated thanks to the props team's meticulous arrangement.

Everything was setting the stage for a tragic end for Yang Kang.

Chen Mo stood by the monitor, listening to Director Jiang explain the final scene.

"This scene is Yang Kang's highlight, and also his end."

Director Jiang Jiajun looked serious.

He ambushed Huang Rong, striking her with a palm against her soft armor, thus poisoning her.

From shock and resentment to madness and despair, finally succumbing to poisoning. Emotions must be layered, especially in the eyes.

Chen Mo nodded.

He prepared for this scene for a long time.

The character Yang Kang is hateful, tragic, and pitiful.

He wanted the audience to have complex emotions towards the villain at the very last moment.

"All departments, get ready!" the assistant director shouted.

Chen Mo walked into the set and stood in the designated spot.

Li Yitong, who plays Huang Rong, is already in position, her eyes alert.

"Scene 148, Scene 1, Action!" from *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*

The clapperboard is struck.

Chen Mo's face appeared exceptionally pale in the dim light, and his eyes held a hint of madness.

He approached step by step.

Li Yitong's eyes flickered, and she wanted to turn around and run away.

At that very moment—

Chen Mo moved.

His movements were as fast as lightning, and he slapped her shoulder with one hand!

This palm strike carried all of Yang Kang's resentment and unwillingness.

"Bang!"

The sound of clapping hands was exceptionally clear in the silent temple.

Then, Chen Mo's expression changed.

From ruthlessness to astonishment, and then to terror.

He slowly withdrew his hand, looked down at his palm, where a strange bluish-black color had appeared.

Chen Mo staggered backward and bumped into the offering table.

The candlestick tipped over, and the candle rolled to the ground.

He started to laugh.

First came a low chuckle, then a loud laugh, the sound echoing through the empty temple, mournful and desperate.

He smiled, but tears streamed down his face.

At this moment, the effects of the keywords "eagle-eyed wolf-like gaze" and "expressive eyes" were maximized.

Chen Mo's eyes and expression shifted unpredictably under the daylight.

Sometimes crazy, sometimes sad, sometimes resentful, sometimes bewildered.

He portrayed the feeling of a dying person perfectly.

Behind the monitor, Director Jiang held his breath.

All the staff members on site fell silent, captivated by the performance.

His breathing became rapid, and his face turned from white to blue.

He portrayed the pain of poisoning through subtle twitches and spasms, so realistically it was heart-wrenching.

He suddenly staggered out of the temple and collapsed to the ground.

"Nianci..."

He lay on the ground, as if he saw Mu Nianci, and softly called out her name, his eyes softening.

"sorry……"

The last few words were almost inaudible.

Then, his head slowly lowered.

His eyes were still open, but his pupils were already dilated.

silence.

A silence that lasted for ten seconds.

"Card!"

Director Jiang's voice broke the silence.

He stood up and clapped vigorously: "Perfect! Chen Mo, that's a good take!"

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Chen Mo was still sitting on the ground, and it took him a few seconds to detach himself from the character's emotions.

Li Yitong came over from the side and reached out to pull him:

"You acted so well, I really thought... you were going to die."

Chen Mo used the momentum to stand up and smiled at her:

"That sounds a bit strange."

The assistant director walked over holding a bouquet of flowers and a red envelope:

"Chen Mo, congratulations on wrapping up filming!"

Chen Mo accepted the flowers and red envelopes, and bowed to those around him:

"Thank you all for taking care of me during this time, you've worked so hard!"

The crew members all gathered around to congratulate him.

"Chen Mo's acting was superb!"

Congratulations on wrapping up filming!

"Don't forget us when you become famous!"

Director Jiang also came over and patted Chen Mo on the shoulder:

"This young man has a bright future ahead of him."

"Thank you, Director Jiang."

"Alright, pack up and get some rest tonight."

Director Jiang laughed and said, "Your scenes are finished, you can be free now."

Chen Mo returned to the dressing room to remove her makeup.

In the mirror, Yang Kang's makeup was gradually removed, revealing his true face.

He looked at himself in the mirror, somewhat dazed.

After more than two months of filming, he had gotten used to dressing up as Yang Kang every day.

It's almost sad to see it end so suddenly.

My phone vibrated.

It was a WeChat message from Li Yitong: "Ziyi, Xuwen, and I have decided to have a late-night snack together tonight to see you off. Same place as always, Northeastern barbecue."

Chen Mo replied, "Okay."

After removing her makeup and changing back into her own clothes, Chen Mo returned to the hotel.

He first packed his luggage.

His scenes in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are finished, and he's going back to Beijing tomorrow.

At 6:30, he went out to the Northeastern barbecue restaurant.

When they arrived, Li Yitong and Yang Xuwen were already there.

"Chen Mo! Over here!" Li Yitong waved.

Chen Mo walked over and sat down: "Where's Ziyi?"

She said she'd be there soon.

Li Yitong poured him a beer. "Have a drink first, and congratulations on wrapping up filming!"

Yang Xuwen also raised his glass: "Congratulations! It was a lot of fun filming with you."

The three clinked glasses.

Just as he took a sip, Meng Ziyi rushed over.

She wore a light blue dress today, her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she was wearing makeup, making her look bright and beautiful.

"Sorry I'm late."

Her cheeks flushed slightly as she sat down next to Chen Mo.

"It's okay, we just arrived too."

Li Yitong laughed and said, "Come on, let's have a drink to send Chen Mo off!"

The four cups clinked together.

The barbecue was served one after another, and the aroma of charcoal filled the air.

After several rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

Chen Mo looked at them, feeling a mix of emotions.

In his previous life, he struggled on the fringes of the entertainment industry for ten years, but he had never experienced such a harmonious atmosphere on set.

"By the way, Chen Mo,"

Li Yitong suddenly asked, "When will 'Eternal Love' air?"

"Early next year, I guess."

"Then you'll definitely be even more popular."

Li Yitong blinked. "From now on, should I call you Teacher Chen when we meet?"

"Stop making fun of me."

Meng Ziyi then raised his wine cup: "Chen Mo, I'd like to toast you."

Chen Mo clinked glasses with her.

"Thank you... I acted very well with you."

"Me too."

Meng Ziyi tilted his head back and finished the wine, his cheeks turning even redder.

After chatting for a while, Yang Xuwen checked the time and stood up:

"I have filming tomorrow morning, so I have to go back now. Chen Mo, let's keep in touch. Let's get together again when we get to Beijing."

"Okay, then take your time, let's meet up in Beijing."

Chen Mo also stood up and patted him on the shoulder.

After Yang Xuwen left, only three people remained at the table.

Meng Ziyi seemed to have relaxed even more, and poured himself another glass of wine.

"Ziyi, drink less."

Seeing her drink one glass after another, Li Yitong couldn't help but urge her to stop.

"It's okay, I'm happy today."

Meng Ziyi waved his hand and toasted Chen Mo again.

Chen Mo noticed that her eyes were already somewhat unfocused.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Meng Ziyi was completely drunk.

She slumped over the table, muttering softly, "I'm not drunk... I can still drink..."

Li Yitong looked at Chen Mo helplessly: "What should we do?"

"Take her home."

Chen Mo stood up, walked to Meng Ziyi's side, and gently patted her shoulder:

"Ziyi, it's time to go back."

Meng Ziyi raised his head, looking at him with unfocused eyes, and suddenly smiled:

"Chen Mo...it's you..."

"Yes, it's me. Can you stand up?"

"able……"

She stood up unsteadily, but stumbled and almost fell.

Chen Mo quickly helped her up.

Meng Ziyi leaned against him, closed her eyes, and murmured:

"You're so warm..."

Li Yitong watched from the side, her eyes filled with a mixture of speechlessness and frustration.

Meng Ziyi is a shrewd one; she deliberately got drunk so that Chen Mo would carry her home.

After paying the bill, Chen Mo carried Meng Ziyi out.

It was a bit chilly in Hengdian at night. A gust of wind made Meng Ziyi shiver, and she shrank her head into Chen Mo's arms.

The three of them slowly walked towards the hotel.

Back at the hotel, on their floor, Chen Mo asked Li Yitong:

"Which room is Ziyi's?"

"709".

It turns out that Reba lived next door to her that day, but it's unknown whether she heard the commotion.

Chen Mo carried Meng Ziyi to the door of room 709, took the room card from her bag, and swiped it to open the door.

The room was very tidy, and the script of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was on the bedside table.
