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

Chapter 79 One glimpse of Yang Kang, and your life is ruined.

The Legend of the Condor Heroes premiered on April 15th.

After finishing work, Chen Mo returned to the hotel, took a shower, and leaned against the headboard to open iQiyi.

When the opening theme song started, he subconsciously glanced at the time: 7:40 PM.

Today's filming schedule for "Hello, Old Times" was packed, and we didn't finish until 7:30.

He rushed back to the hotel almost at the last minute.

The first episode mainly focused on Guo Jing's growth, and there wasn't much activity on the screen.

Until the end of the second episode, the comments section started to get restless.

"Will Yang Kang appear in the next episode?"

"Looking forward to seeing Chen Mo as Yang Kang!"

"I came for Chen Mo~"

In the third episode, the arena for a martial arts contest to choose a husband is set up in the center of the market, with red silk fluttering in the breeze.

Mu Nianci stood on the stage in a red dress, her features exquisite and her figure graceful.

Meng Ziyi's appearance is beautiful, not in a flamboyant way, but with a delicate beauty that carries a hint of stubbornness and a touch of shyness.

She clasped her hands in a respectful greeting, her voice clear and bright: "Little Anzi Mu Nianci, I have set up a martial arts contest here today to find a husband. Whoever is a hero who cannot defeat me, I will..."

She paused, lowered her eyes, and said in a softer voice, "Then I will repay you with my body."

Then, the camera shifts.

The sound of horses' hooves came from the crowd.

The onlookers automatically made way for them.

Chen Mo rode his horse and slowly entered the painting.

He wore a moon-white brocade robe, a gold-threaded belt around his waist, and a jade crown in his hair; his features were exquisite.

The wind swept across the arena, lifting a corner of his robe. He held the reins with one hand and turned his head slightly to look at the stage.

His gaze was neither a frivolous appraiser nor purely one of amazement.

It was a condescending scrutiny, tinged with a subtle, almost imperceptible interest.

This is Wanyan Kang, the young prince, a privileged son of heaven who grew up in luxury and was never rejected.

The live chat exploded instantly.

"Holy crap—"

"That entrance! It was so cool it gave me a huge shock!"

"This Yang Kang is amazing! The novel's description of him as handsome and dashing has truly come to life."

"Is this the same person as Donghua Dijun? Chen Mo can really play any role convincingly!"

"Just from this one scene, I could forgive Yang Kang for whatever bad things he did afterward!"

"He's playing Yan Kang? Well, sorry, my moral compass will have to follow his looks."

The last comment read: "Waaah~ Brother, don't ride the horse anymore, ride me instead~"

You're dreaming! If you actually rode it, you'd probably be having an amazing time.

At this moment, he dismounted from his horse.

His movements were clean and swift; his robes drew a smooth arc in the air, and he landed without even disturbing the horse's hooves.

The effect of the "Martial Arts Proficiency" entry during filming is now fully displayed on the screen.

It truly achieved a sense of neatness and lightness.

Another wave of comments flooded the screen: "This dismount is as smooth as Dove chocolate!"

"Nowadays, many actors don't dare to film their whole bodies in horse riding scenes; they have to use props."

He immediately dismounted, and the camera even shot him from a distance! Most importantly, he looked incredibly handsome.

Yang Kang stepped onto the arena.

Mu Nianci looked up at him, then quickly lowered her eyes again.

Meng Ziyi's performance was exceptionally nuanced at this moment.

Her fingers tightened subtly around the sword hilt, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she pursed her lips.

It was as if they couldn't believe such a person would step into their ring, or as if they were afraid of losing their composure.

"girl,"

Chen Mo spoke, his voice calm and unhurried, "Please."

The comments section erupted with people shipping the couple: "It's love at first sight, I can't look away from those eyes~"

"She was shy before she even spoke; her acting was spot-on!"

"Mencius was a great actor, perfectly capturing the awkwardness of a young girl meeting her sweetheart for the first time."

"Was it really acting? I have a feeling she was genuinely amazed by Chen Mo?"

The two began to fight.

Chen Mo's martial arts moves are fluid and graceful.

He didn't deliberately show off his skills; every move he made fit Yang Kang's description of "not weak in martial arts, but not solid enough."

The finishing move is accompanied by some pretty and flashy moves.

He turned over to avoid Mu Nianci's palm strike, then grabbed her wrist and gently pulled it.

Mu Nianci staggered half a step, and he gently put his arm around her waist. The two looked at each other.

Meng Ziyi blushed.

It doesn't seem like the kind of fame that's acted out.

Instead, it was a rosy blush that spread up from her neck and couldn't be hidden at all.

Her eyelashes were trembling, her breathing was obviously erratic, and she seemed unable to break free.

Only Chen Mo knew that her reaction was genuine.

Because Meng Ziyi's face turned red like this when filming this scene.

When the director yelled "cut," she hid to the side and covered her face with her hands for a long time.

But in the final cut, this authenticity became the best interpretation of Mu Nianci.

The live chat exploded with excitement: "Holy crap, this time it's really different."

"Did they really not talk about it?"

"This feeling of being moved, can it be acted out?"

"This couple is truly the most compatible pairing in history: Yang Kang and Mu Nianci."

"I need to go to Dilraba's Weibo account for something —"

"Reba, come quick! Your Emperor is about to be kidnapped!"

In the scene, Yang Kang is still holding Mu Nianci, and Mu Nianci is struggling to kick him.

Yang Kang looked down at her little foot that was kicking towards him, then grabbed it, his eyes filled with amusement.

Immediately afterwards, he took a step back, savored the sensation of that moment, and then turned and left.

Chen Mo remembers filming that turn many times.

The director asked him to portray Yang Kang's indifference without making it seem like he was playing tricks on Mu Nianci.

Any more would be rubbish, any less would be too uncomplicated.

He was very satisfied with the final result.

Yang Kang did not walk fast; in fact, one could say he walked very slowly.

His figure gradually disappeared into the distance, his cloak fluttering gently in the wind.

He didn't turn around.

But the camera cuts to Mu Nianci's face.

She stood there, watching his retreating figure, her eyes slightly red.

At this moment, the comments section seemed to empathize with Mu Nianci: "She's really fallen for him."

"Meeting Yang Kang once ruined my life."

"Mu Nianci is so pitiful; she lost at first glance."

"Chen Mo as Yang Kang and Meng Ziyi as Mu Nianci, this casting is perfect."

Then he turned around and walked off the ring.

The figure in the moon-white brocade robe gradually disappeared into the crowd.

Mu Nianci stood there, watching the direction he had left in.

The wind ruffled the stray hairs at her temples.

She lowered her head, her fingers clenching her sleeves.

For a moment, the comments section was silent for half a second, then erupted into an even more turbulent wave: "They said nothing, but they said everything."

"The sense of destiny is really strong."

When the end credits rolled, Chen Mo put down his phone and let out a long sigh.

He recalled the days when he filmed this scene in Hengdian last year, and how Director Jiang repeatedly explained Yang Kang's complex nature to him.

I remember Coach Wu helping him refine his movements until late at night;

I also recalled Meng Ziyi sitting behind the monitor and quietly asking the director, "Was my look just now shy enough?"

At that time, nobody knew what the reaction would be when the show aired.

At that moment, he opened Weibo's trending topics.

#TheLegendoftheCondorHeroesPremiere# 12th #ChenMoYangKang# 6th #MengZiyiMuNianci# 11th clicked into the topic of #ChenMoYangKang#, the first post was a screenshot from a marketing account.

The scene featuring Yang Kang was captioned, "How would you rate this version of Wanyan Kang's appearance?"

The top-voted comment: "I give him a perfect 10 out of 10. I'm not a fan, but I genuinely think he captured the prince's nobility and youthful spirit perfectly. The fight scene in the martial arts contest for marriage was amazing."

Chen Mo scrolled down and saw feedback from many ordinary viewers: "I was indifferent to Yang Kang before, but I really like this version."

"The way he looked at Mu Nianci was so sincere, not the greasy kind of flirting, but genuinely the feeling of a young man's heart fluttering."

"Finally, someone has portrayed Yang Kang as someone who looks like he's twenty years old."

"I didn't get Donghua Dijun, but I really got Yang Kang. Chen Mo is something else."

Just as he was about to log out, several WeChat messages popped up at the top of his phone.

The messages were all posted by Tian Xiwei: "Teacher Chen Mo! I'm watching The Legend of the Condor Heroes! The martial arts contest scene was so well acted!"

"I watched the scene where Yang Kang appears five times, skipping through the footage!"

"How did you do that? The way you dismounted, the look in your eyes, it was so cool!"

"And what about Teacher Meng Ziyi? Was her blushing real?"

The acting was so good, I was moved for Mu Nianci even through the screen.

"The three of us girls in my dorm watched it together, and we're all screaming about it now."

"[video]"

Chen Mo clicked on the video; it was a screen recording made by Tian Xiwei.

The phone camera wobbled as it was pointed at the computer screen, and in the background, several girls screamed, "Ahhh, he laughed again! I'm going to lose this laugh!"

The next morning, Chen Mo arrived at the film set just as dawn was breaking.

In Hengdian, the days dawn early in April, and the film set is already bustling with activity.

The production crew was laying out tracks, the lighting crew was adjusting reflectors, and the assistant director was using a walkie-talkie to confirm the extras' positions.

Chen Mo walked into the dressing room, where makeup artist Xiao Zhou was already preparing.

"Teacher Chen Mo, I watched the premiere of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' last night."

-

While adjusting the foundation shade, Xiao Zhou said with barely suppressed excitement, "Your portrayal of Yang Kang is so captivating! My WeChat Moments are full of screenshots."

"Thanks."

Chen Mo smiled upon hearing this.

"Seriously, my husband never watches TV shows, but last night he glanced at it as he passed by, and ended up watching the whole episode right behind me."

Xiao Zhou picked up a makeup brush and said, "He said this version of Yang Kang isn't annoying."

There was a knock on the door of the dressing room.

Li Landi poked half her head in: "Good morning, Brother Chen Mo!"

"morning."

Li Landi came in, sat down on the chair next to Xiao Zhou, and began having another makeup artist apply her makeup.

She pulled her phone out of her bag, yawning as she said, "I finished watching the first four episodes of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' last night."

Chen Mo looked at her in the mirror: "What time did you go to sleep?"

"A little after one o'clock —"

Li Landi yawned even more. "It's my fault, I shouldn't have clicked on it. As a result, one episode after another came up, and I just couldn't stop watching."

""

She turned her head and looked at Chen Mo seriously: "Brother Chen Mo, in that scene where you appeared, riding a horse out of the crowd, I really..."

She paused, seemingly searching for an adjective, but finally gave up and simply gave a thumbs up: "So cool."

Chen Mo chuckled: "Thank you."

"It's not just polite talk, he really is handsome."

Li Landi emphasized earnestly, "I messaged my mom last night and told her that this is the actor I'm working with. My mom even asked me to get an autographed photo from you."

The makeup artists were all secretly laughing.

Li Landi laughed at herself, turned to the mirror and asked the makeup artist to continue applying her base makeup, adding, "Brother Chen Mo, you have to give me an autographed photo so I can send it back to you."

"OK.

"

Chen Mo readily agreed.

The morning light gradually brightened.

At 7:30, the film crew officially started work.

Today we're filming a major scene.

Lin Yang chased after the bus that Yu Zhouzhou was riding on his bicycle.

This is a classic scene from the original work.

The boy rode his bicycle, chasing after the bus carrying his sweetheart.

They waved and smiled through the car window.

The sun shines brightly, and youth is in full bloom.

Director Sha Mo stood by the monitor, instructing Chen Mo and Li Landi on the scene: "This scene doesn't require any lines; it relies entirely on expressions and eyes. Chen Mo, your smile needs to be natural, not an acted smile, but a genuine, heartfelt joy after seeing Zhou Zhou."

"7

Chen Mo nodded, indicating his understanding.

"Landi, when you see Lin Yang, be a little surprised, but more likely you'll be touched by his silliness."

Director Sha Mo turned to Li Landi, expressing a feeling of "How can this person be so stupid? Doesn't chasing the bus get tiring?" but also unable to suppress a laugh.

Li Landi listened attentively and nodded.

"Alright, all departments, get ready!"

The assistant director raised his hand, "Extras, get ready! Buses, bicycles, get ready!"

Chen Mo hopped onto the old-fashioned bicycle prepared by the props team.

This was the first time he had ridden this old-fashioned bicycle since his rebirth. The frame was heavy and the seat was hard, but it was stable.

He tried pedaling twice, and the chain made a slight clicking sound.

The photographer carried his equipment and got into the filming vehicle.

The bus started moving, and Li Landi sat in the window seat.

"Scene 46, Shot 1 of 'Hello, Old Times,' Action!"

The clapperboard is struck.

The bus slowly pulled away from the station.

Chen Mo pedals his bicycle.

The wheels rolled over the stone pavement in the early morning, making a soft, rustling sound.

He didn't act.

He made himself Lin Yang.

The morning breeze brushed past my ears, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the sycamore leaves, scattering like shattered gold across the ground.

He chased after the bus, chasing after the blurry figure inside the window.

Then she turned her head.

Yu Zhouzhou, played by Li Landi, saw him.

Her expression was one of surprise, her eyes widening slightly, as if she couldn't believe that this person would actually chase after a bus on a bicycle.

Then, the corners of her mouth slowly curved upwards.

It wasn't a reserved smile, but an unconcealed smile after being touched by the boy's silliness.

She raised her hand and waved to him through the car window.

Chen Mo smiled.

That smile—

It was Lin Yang's smile, the pure, clean, and unadulterated smile he had when he saw someone he liked at eighteen.

The sunlight fell perfectly on his face, swirling between his arched eyebrows and dancing on the corners of his upturned lips.

The wind billowed his white shirt.

The boy rode his bicycle, chasing after the bus carrying his sweetheart.

Behind the monitor, Director Shamo was stunned.

The stagehand forgot to call "cut".

The lighting technician's hand froze in mid-air.

Even the bus driver subconsciously slowed down.

The entire set was silent for a full five seconds.

Then director Shamo suddenly stood up: "Cut! Perfect! One take!"

He practically shouted it out.

The staff then snapped out of their daze, and applause and exclamations erupted simultaneously: "Holy crap, that shot was amazing!"

"The light shining on Chen Mo makes him incredibly handsome!"

Li Landi jumped off the bus and ran to Chen Mo's side, her smile still fresh: "Brother Chen Mo, your smile just now almost made me lose my composure!"

"What's wrong?"

"Because I almost burst out laughing,"

Li Landi carefully considered her words, "It's not the kind of laugh that comes from finding something funny, it's a genuine feeling—wow, Lin Yang is so handsome, that kind of laugh that makes you want to laugh."

The staff around him all laughed.

"Landi, your way of praising people is quite unique," the assistant director joked.

"I'm serious!"

Li Landi became anxious, her face turning red. "It's a natural and comfortable kind of handsome, like he's just supposed to smile like that."

Director Shamo walked over, looked at the playback on the monitor, and remained silent for a long time.

Then he turned to the assistant director: "Make a note of this shot, we'll include it in the opening credits later."

"OK."

Director Shamo watched the playback again and remarked with emotion, "Many young actors these days try too hard to portray a sunny, cheerful persona; they practically wear it on their faces."

He paused, then looked at Chen Mo: "But you don't need to act. Because you are who you are."
