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

At six o'clock the next morning, Chen Mo arrived at the set of "Princess Agents" on time.

Today's filming location is in the antique-style street area of ​​Hengdian World Studios, and the crew has already set up the set.

The cobblestone road is lined with various shop signs, and there are stalls and props set up along the roadside. In the distance, the outline of the city gate can be seen.

The air was filled with the scent of morning dew and a faint smell of paint.

In the dressing room, the stylist was doing Chen Mo's makeup and styling for his time as Prince Yan Xun.

He wore a purple and gold brocade robe, had his hair tied up with a jade crown, and wore a jade pendant at his waist, symbolizing his status as the heir of Yanbei.

"It's so easy to do makeup for Teacher Chen Mo. I don't even need to apply any base makeup. Unlike some celebrities whose faces are covered in pimples, no matter how thick the base makeup is, it can't cover them up."

The makeup artist complained as she did her eyebrows.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Chen Mo had a high nose bridge and a well-defined jawline. Coupled with his gorgeous clothes, he did indeed have the air of a noble young master.

After finishing his makeup and styling, Chen Mo headed towards the shooting area.

Today we're filming the scene where Yan Xun rides into the city on horseback.

In the story, this is Yan Xun's first time entering the capital of Wei as the crown prince. He is full of vigor and pride.

The stagehands brought in a tall, pure black horse with glossy mane and well-defined muscles.

"This horse was specially selected by the crew from the horse farm. It's called Chasing Wind. It has a gentle temperament and runs very steadily."

The horse trainer handed the reins to Chen Mo. "Teacher Chen Mo, can you ride a horse?"

"I know some."

Chen Mo took the reins and climbed onto the platform.

With clean and efficient movements, and thanks to the [Horse Riding Mastery] skill, Chen Mo could feel a subtle tacit understanding forming between himself and his horse.

He gently spurred the horse's flanks, and it took off; with a slight pull of the reins, it immediately slowed down.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

The horse trainer, seeing his reaction, looked surprised. "Teacher Chen Mo, you must have practiced riding for many years, right?"

"I've studied this before."

Chen Mo stepped forward and reached out to stroke the horse's neck.

With the help of the "Mastery of Horses" skill, he could clearly sense the condition of the horse.

Breathing steadily and relaxed, it's a good horse.

"It was a pleasure working with you today."

Chasing Wind seemed to understand and gently flicked its tail.

At this moment, director Wu Jinyuan walked over and said, "Chen Mo, in this scene, you ride your horse in from the street corner and gallop all the way to the city gate and stop in front of it."

The goal is to capture the young prince's arrogance and nobility, but safety comes first.

"Understood, Director."

"Alright, all departments, get ready!"

Chen Mo mounted his horse with clean and swift movements.

He gripped the reins, lightly squeezed the horse's flanks with his legs, and Zhui Feng immediately raised his head and strode forward, appearing spirited.

"Action!"

The clapperboard is struck.

Chen Mo's eyes sharpened, and he tugged on the reins:

"drive!"

Zhui Feng shot off like an arrow released from a bow.

The horses' hooves clattered on the bluestone slabs, making a crisp and rhythmic "clattering" sound.

Chen Mo lowered his body, his brocade robe fluttering in the wind, his long hair flying.

The extras on both sides of the street hurriedly scrambled to make way, their stalls were knocked over, and the scene was chaotic.

Chen Mo controlled the horse, increasing its speed while remaining as steady as a rock.

The camera followed closely.

Behind the monitor, director Wu Jinyuan stared intently at the screen.

The assistant director whispered, "Chen Mo's horseback riding skills are pretty good."

Wu Jinyuan didn't speak, he just nodded.

At the end of the street, the city gate came into view.

According to the script, Yan Xun was supposed to rein in his horse and stop here.

Chen Mo seized the opportunity and suddenly pulled on the reins!

"Whoa—"

The horse let out a long neigh, raised its front hooves high, and almost stood upright!

This action is extremely dangerous; a slight misstep could result in being thrown off the horse.

But Chen Mo gripped the horse's belly tightly with his legs, leaned back, and held the reins firmly with one hand, controlling the horse as steadily as Mount Tai.

The horse put its front hooves down, took a few steps in place, and came to a steady stop.

Chen Mo sat on horseback, slightly out of breath, his eyes still filled with the excitement of galloping and the exuberance of youth.

Sunlight shone on him, making his purple and gold brocade robe gleam.

The image freezes at this moment.

"Card!"

Director Wu Jinyuan's voice was filled with rare excitement:

"Pass! Perfect!"

There was a moment of silence, then a staff member nearby gasped in surprise.

"So cool!"

"My God, that horse-reining maneuver just now was absolutely brilliant!"

"Teacher Chen Mo is awesome!"

The female staff members watching covered their mouths, their eyes shining:

"My god, that's so cool..."

"When Ma stood up just now, Teacher Chen Mo was glowing!"

"This shot is so beautiful, it'll definitely be edited out when it airs..."

Li Lin had just finished dressing and came out when she saw Chen Mo rein in his horse and stop. She couldn't help but sigh softly:

"He's so handsome..."

Chen Mo's series of movements were fluid and graceful, displaying both youthful exuberance and the noble bearing of a scion of a prominent family.

Especially the moment he pulled back from the horse at the end, that control and confidence were so captivating.

Lin Gengxin, who had somehow appeared behind the monitor, looked at Chen Mo on the screen and couldn't help but praise him:

"Awesome. You can't learn that kind of horseback riding skill in just a few years."

Chen Mo's horse-reining maneuver just now, though seemingly simple, actually required a precise grasp of the horse's condition, his own center of gravity, and the timing of the exertion.

Many professional horse grooms cannot do it so cleanly and efficiently.

Wang Yanlin stood to the side, his mouth slightly agape as he witnessed this scene, before finally muttering after a long pause:

"Damn... Chen Mo is a real hidden talent... He always manages to pull off something big."

Chen Mo dismounted, and the horse trainer immediately stepped forward, took the reins, and gave him a thumbs up:

"Teacher Chen Mo, your riding skills are amazing! Zhui Feng and you worked together so well today."

Director Wu Jinyuan walked over and patted Chen Mo on the shoulder:

"We just passed that spot! You're such a pro at riding, how long have you been practicing?"

"I've learned a little bit before."

"More than just a little."

The assistant director chimed in with a laugh, "That shot from earlier could be included in the trailer; it'll probably attract a huge wave of female fans."

The subsequent filming went smoothly.

Chen Mo filmed several more shots from different angles, each time accurately reproducing the previous state.

During halftime, Chen Mo sat on a bench and drank water.

Several female staff members blushed and came over to ask for autographs and photos, which he obliged one by one.

……

The afternoon's scenes were mainly dialogue-based, with Chen Mo and Li Lin rehearsing several scenes depicting Yan Xun and Princess Yuan Chun as childhood sweethearts.

The two admired flowers in the Imperial Garden and fed fish by the lake; the dialogue was light and the atmosphere was warm.

Chen Mo discovered that, under the influence of the "emotional contagion" keyword, Li Lin got into character exceptionally quickly.

When he looked at her with the same tender and doting gaze as Yan Xun, she could immediately respond with the shy and joyful demeanor of Princess Yuan Chun.

The two actors' scenes together were natural and fluid, and almost all of them were filmed in one take.

"You two are really in sync."

After filming a scene, the director smiled and said, "You've captured the feeling of childhood sweethearts."

Li Qin blushed slightly and glanced at Chen Mo: "It's because Chen Mo's emotions were spot on."

It was already evening when we finished work.

Chen Mo changed back into his own clothes and prepared to return to the hotel.

He had just stepped off the film set when he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Chen Mo!"

It was Wang Yanlin. He jogged up to catch up, a smile on his face.

"Want to have dinner together? I know a new Sichuan restaurant opened nearby, and it's pretty good."

Chen Mo thought about it and realized he didn't have any plans for the evening.

"OK."

The two walked side by side on the streets of Hengdian.

"Chen Mo,"

Wang Yanlin suddenly spoke up, "Did you have professional horseback riding training before?"

"I guess so, I studied it for a while."

"It's more than just having studied it."

Wang Yanlin clicked his tongue in amazement, "Your scene today stunned me. These days, there aren't many young actors who can ride a horse without a stunt double."

The two went to a Sichuan restaurant and ordered several of their signature dishes.

Wang Yanlin was very talkative, chatting about everything from fun anecdotes on set to industry gossip, making for a lively meal.
