She leaned closer to Qiao Jiaojiao and whispered with a smile in her ear, "That's right, I'm saying you're blind. It's better if you didn't have eyes at all!"
Qiao Jiaojiao was furious: "You—"
She reached out to scratch Ye Mo, but Ye Mo grabbed her hand, smiled affectionately at her, and whispered in Qiao Jiaojiao's ear.
"Miss Qiao, you'd better calm down!" she whispered to Qiao Jiaojiao. "If you don't want to see news about yourself hitting someone appearing online tonight..."
The two were very close at this moment. Ye Mo held her hand and smiled. To an uninformed person, it would seem as if the two had a very good relationship.
Ye Mo chuckled and whispered, "There are paparazzi watching us from that flowerbed to your right. If you dare lay a hand on me, I guarantee you'll be trending on social media tonight..."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiaojiao, who was about to pull her hand away from Ye Mo, froze.
Seeing this, Ye Mo took a few steps back and patted Qiao Jiaojiao's shoulder affectionately.
"I don't know what your relationship with my manager is, but if you're angry with him, take it out on him. Don't involve innocent bystanders... I'm not the kind of person who wants to be a doormat."
"Unrelated bystanders," Ye Mo said.
"Then I'll head back now. Our two film crews are next to each other, so we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet. Miss Qiao, please don't be too impulsive."
After saying goodbye to Qiao Jiaojiao, Ye Mo glanced regretfully at the " Tale of Scheming " film crew—unfortunately, she still didn't see the other person involved in the scandal, and she missed another opportunity to earn Gossip Points.
Ye Mo strolled back to their " Tale of Intrigue " film crew.
At this moment, the opening ceremony had ended, and the crew was preparing for the first scene. However, this had nothing to do with Ye Mo, because she was not scheduled to have any scenes today. She was just there to attend the opening ceremony, and she could go back after it was over.
Assistant Zhou Xiaoyu ran over and placed the two small stools in the shade under a big tree. After Ye Mo Ye Mo down, she asked him curiously:
" Sister Momo, where were you just now? The assistant director asked you to help retweet the Weibo the crew just made to promote the show!"
The production team had just posted Weibo announcement that filming for " The Tale of Intrigue " had begun. Ye Mo opened Weibo and clicked on it, only to find that the Weibo had quickly become a trending topic.
"The production team bought the trending topic way too fast..." Ye Mo thought to himself, found the Weibo from the production team, and promptly forwarded it.
By this time, there were already quite a few comments under that Weibo, mostly from fans of the various actors, with Ye Mo's fans making up the majority. This wasn't surprising, given that her fans were known for their large numbers, strong fighting spirit, and high purchasing power.
It's no exaggeration to say that many of Ye Mo's fans are wealthy.
Ye Mo glanced at the comments. Most of her fans were happy that she had a new drama starting filming and were cheering. However, some fans also expressed their dissatisfaction that she was not a lead actress again this time.
[... Sister, you're playing a supporting role again this time. When will you get to play a leading role?]
Ye Mo couldn't help but sigh as he read these kinds of comments.
It's not that she doesn't want to play leading roles, but most of the scripts she's worked on before were garbage scripts that only cared about her popularity. It was obvious that they wouldn't make a splash and were destined to flop.
As for the better scripts, either the writers didn't think much of her acting skills and didn't want to cast her as the lead, or Ye Mo didn't want her to be ridiculed for filming it. So, she might as well play a supporting role and at least get some experience in acting.
However, that's all in the past. Now... at least Ye Mo feels that his acting skills are now passable and he won't disappoint his fans again.
Thinking about this, she was almost impatient for her first scene tomorrow—she was eager to test her current acting skills.
The next day arrived quickly.
Ye Mo's scenes were in the morning. Because the makeup and styling for palace dramas are very complicated and time-consuming, and Ye Mo's character was a favored concubine, her makeup and styling had to be even more elaborate and extravagant. Therefore, Ye Mo got up very early.
Nowadays, audiences pay a lot of attention to the actors' makeup and styling, so Director He specially hired a makeup artist to do the actresses' hair.
After sitting in the dressing room for nearly two hours, Ye Mo's styling was finally complete. Her hair was as white as clouds, her face was fair and rosy, and the elaborate and gorgeous clothes on her did not overshadow her at all. Instead, they made her face look even more beautiful and delicate, like a peach blossom. She was stunningly beautiful.
What's even more remarkable is her ancient charm. When Zhou Xiaoyu helped her out and she appeared before everyone, almost everyone in the crew was stunned. They felt as if she were a descendant of the ancients, as if an ancient lady had gracefully walked up to them. In the end, they could only stare at her in amazement.
In the end, director He Jianping was the first to react. He immediately told the cameraman to take several photos of Ye Mo, and then had them posted online.
He could easily imagine the uproar that would ensue if Ye Mo's photos in this makeup were posted online.
Whenever Director He thought about this, he felt refreshed and deeply convinced that his decision to cast Ye Mo in this role was absolutely correct.
So what if the acting is bad? As long as the actor is good-looking, that's enough. Plus, with Ye Mo's inherent popularity and the potential for scandals, Director He doesn't even know how many people their drama will attract after it's finished.
After the crew members came to their senses, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement to those around them, their eyes still frequently glancing at Ye Mo sitting there.
"Wow, I never really paid attention when people said Ye Mo was so beautiful before, but today she really amazed me. She's so suited to this kind of complicated and glamorous makeup and styling, she's absolutely gorgeous."
"Not only is she beautiful, but her temperament is also amazing. When she appeared in front of me just now, I really thought an ancient beauty had appeared before me. Her temperament and posture were absolutely stunning."
"Suddenly, I realized that she is indeed very suitable for the role of a favored concubine. Only someone who looks like her could bewitch the emperor so much that he would lose his bearings."
"Ahhh, Momo's outfit is absolutely stunning! I need to take lots of photos to keep as my own!"
The entire crew was in an uproar because of Ye Mo, and the atmosphere became somewhat restless. Among the staff were many Ye Mo fans, who couldn't help but scream in their hearts.
However, while some people like Ye Mo, others naturally dislike him.
"Tch..." Just as everyone was chatting and discussing, a sneer suddenly came from the side. It was a young girl from the props team. She was the niece of the person in charge of the props team. Her name was Wu Fang. She looked very pretty, but she was a bit lazy.
Hearing everyone praise Ye Mo like this, she was clearly very unhappy. She pouted and said, "So what if the makeup and her face are beautiful? You've all forgotten that with Ye Mo's acting skills, even a beautiful face can't save her!"
She scoffed dismissively, "Just you wait and see, see how she reveals her true colors when we're filming!"
Upon hearing her words, the crowd exchanged bewildered glances. Some of Ye Mo's fans wanted to retort, but they didn't know how, since it was a fact that their idol's acting skills were poor.
Ye Mo's fans were furious: Ugh, so infuriating!!
"I heard Ye Mo's acting skills have improved a lot," someone suddenly spoke up, seemingly unafraid of Wu Fang's connections, "My friend told me that even Director Ji Minghe praised Ye Mo Ye Mo's acting skills and is even planning to cast him in his new movie!"
This person spoke with reason and evidence, "If Ye Mo's acting skills hadn't truly improved, why would Director Ji Minghe have cast her in his new movie?"
