Chapter 75 Opening Ceremony

Back in his room, Chen Mo began reviewing the scenes for tomorrow afternoon.

The first scene is a daily scene of Lin Yang and Yu Zhouzhou during their high school years. It is relatively simple and mainly to help them get into character.

The next morning, the venue for the opening ceremony of "Hello, Old Times" was already set up.

The red carpet was laid out, the backdrop featured the drama's title and cartoon images of the main actors, and flower baskets from the media and fans lined both sides.

Many media reporters were present, given Chen Mo's current popularity.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the main actors arrived one after another.

Chen Mo specially wore an outfit that suited her student image today.

Wearing a white shirt under a light gray knitted cardigan, black casual pants, and with her hair simply styled, she looked fresh and clean.

As soon as he got out of the car, the scene was immediately filled with flashes from cameras.

"Chen Mo! Look this way!"

"Teacher Chen Mo, can you strike a pose?"

The media reporters were already waiting there, their cameras and microphones pointed at him.

"Chen Mo, this is your first time acting in a campus drama. Are you feeling pressured?"

The first reporter asked a very direct question.

"There's definitely pressure."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "But more than anything, I'm looking forward to it."

The character Lin Yang is different from any of the roles I've played before; it's a new challenge for me.

"Then why choose a campus drama?"

"What I value most is the script and the role."

Chen Mo answered sincerely, "I really liked the script for 'Hello, Old Times' after reading it. The purity and deep affection of the character Lin Yang touched me."

Furthermore, I also want to try different types of roles to prove my versatility as an actor.

At this moment, Li Landi also came over and stood next to Chen Mo.

She wore a simple white dress today, with her long hair flowing down her shoulders, looking pure and lovely.

"Chen Mo, how does it feel to be paired with Li Landi?"

Chen Mo looked at Li Landi beside him and said with a smile, "Landi is a very professional actress. We had great chemistry during the audition. I believe this collaboration will be very pleasant."

Li Landi also chimed in with a smile: "Brother Chen Mo is very serious about acting, and I have learned a lot from him."

The two smiled at each other, and the scene was so beautiful that the photographers on site quickly pressed the shutter.

"From fantasy dramas to campus dramas, what do you think is the biggest challenge?"

Another reporter asked.

"The biggest challenge is how to convince the audience that I am Lin Yang."

Chen Mo thought for a moment before answering, "Donghua Dijun is an immortal, a god, so he needs to portray that transcendent feeling."

But Lin Yang is a real person, a senior student who might actually exist on campus.

I need to let go of the shadow of my previous roles and fully immerse myself in the character of Lin Yang.

His answer was professional and sincere.

The reporters at the scene nodded in agreement.

"What preparations did you make for this role?"

"I read the original novel and did a lot of character analysis. Lin Yang is not just a simple sunny school heartthrob." He has his vulnerabilities and persistence.

I tried to understand his inner world, to understand why he would spend more than ten years liking someone.

This answer silenced the room for a moment.

Reporters could sense that Chen Mo was genuinely studying the role seriously, rather than just taking on any role casually.

After the interview, the opening ceremony officially began.

Director Desert led the lead actors to burn incense and pray for blessings, and then together they unveiled the red cloth covering the camera.

As is customary, everyone said a word of blessing.

When it was Chen Mo's turn, he looked at the camera and said earnestly, "I hope we can create a work that lives up to our youth."

After a simple opening ceremony, the crew began preparing for the filming of the first scene.

The first scene is simple; it's a casual scene where Lin Yang and Yu Zhouzhou bump into each other on campus.

There were no intense emotions or complicated lines; the main purpose was to help the actors get into character and for the crew to work together.

In the dressing room, Chen Mo was getting her final makeup done.

The makeup artist applied a thin layer of foundation to make his skin look smoother, while retaining a natural texture.

Chen Mo looked at himself in the mirror.

The person in the mirror, wearing a school uniform-style white shirt, with clean eyes and a gentle smile, definitely has the feel of a campus heartthrob.

"Brother Chen Mo, are you ready?"

Li Landi walked over. She had also changed into her school uniform and tied her hair in a ponytail, looking just like a real high school student.

"alright."

Chen Mo stood up. "Let's go."

The two walked together toward the filming location, a tree-lined path beside the school playground.

The March sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

The crew had already set up the equipment. Director Desert, sitting behind the monitor, nodded when he saw them coming.

"Scene 1, Shot 1, Prepare 7"

The clapperboard is struck.

Chen Mo took a deep breath and got into the zone.

He walked along the tree-lined path with light steps and Lin Yang's signature sunny smile on his face.

At this moment, Yu Zhouzhou, played by Li Landi, walks over from the opposite side.

The two met and looked at each other.

Chen Mo's eyes lit up, and the involuntary joy of seeing someone he liked naturally flowed out.

"Zhou Zhou, good morning."

He greeted us with a clear, melodious voice.

"morning."

Li Landi lowered her head slightly, looking somewhat shy.

"Did you solve that math problem from yesterday? Do you want me to teach you?"

Chen Mo asked naturally, his tone showing concern, but not excessive eagerness.

"No need, I'll take another look myself," Li Landi said.

"Okay, feel free to ask me any questions," Chen Mo said with a smile, then continued walking forward.

After walking a few steps, he turned back to look at Yu Zhouzhou's back, a gentle smile flashing in his eyes.

"Cut!" the director yelled.

Chen Mo immediately snapped out of character and looked at the director.

The desert director stared at the monitor for a few seconds, then gave a thumbs up: "Good! One take! Chen Mo, that look when you turned around was particularly good; you really brought out Lin Yang's subtle affection for Yu Zhouzhou."

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, director."

The afternoon's filming went smoothly.

It was past 5 p.m. when we finished work, and the setting sun had painted the sky a warm orange-red.

"Brother Chen Mo,"

While removing her makeup, Li Landi said, "Shall we have dinner together tonight? Didn't Director Sha Mo say that we should get to know each other better and build rapport?"

Chen Mo thought for a moment, and since he didn't have any plans for the evening, he said, "Okay, what do you want to eat?"

"There's a restaurant that serves good food and has a quiet atmosphere."

Li Landi, however, was well-prepared.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

The two changed back into their own clothes, put on masks and hats, and quietly left the film set.

Chen Mo and Li Landi walked side by side.

How do you usually pass the time while filming?

Chen Mo asked casually.

"I read scripts and occasionally have meals with friends."

Li Landi paused for a moment, then said, "It's actually quite monotonous. What about you?"

"Pretty much, working out, reading scripts, and occasionally seeing friends. But I've been too busy lately, so I haven't been working out as much."

"But you've maintained a great figure."

After Li Landi finished speaking, she realized that her words were a bit too direct, and her face turned slightly red. "I mean—it's obvious that you've been training."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
