He didn't dare say anything at the time, fearing that Ye Mo would only have one outstanding performance. But who knew that Ye Mo's performance in every subsequent performance was just as excellent as the first one? This made Director He extremely happy, and he told the screenwriter more than once that they had struck gold.

"Just watch, Ye Mo is destined for great things!" he told the screenwriter of the production team, his tone both confident and wistful.

Ye Mo now has fame, popularity, and even her looks are not bad—no, not just not bad, she has a top-notch face. Countless netizens say that even if her acting skills are bad, they can forgive everything just by looking at her face.

The only thing she's criticized for now is her acting skills, but now even her acting skills have improved. Director He has thought long and hard and can't think of any obstacles that could stop her from becoming a huge star.

"Just watch, the entertainment industry is about to undergo a major transformation!"

***

Ye Mo's acting was flawless, and the acting of the rest of the crew was also quite good. As a result, the filming of "The Tale of Intrigue" went extremely smoothly. Even Director He, who usually had a gloomy face, looked all smiles and walked with a swagger.

Someone from the production crew excitedly posted on a forum, saying that Ye Mo's acting skills are now far beyond what they used to be, and everyone should wait and see how amazing he is later.

Unfortunately, few people believed the post, even Ye Mo's fans were skeptical, and in the end, the post sank without making a ripple.

The staff member who posted the message: If you don't believe me, just wait until the show airs and you'll regret it!

Meanwhile, the production of "The Tale of Intrigue" is gradually getting back on track.

Ye Mo is now quite adept at playing the role of [Consort Chen], and her acting skills are becoming increasingly refined. However, even so, she is not too complacent. Every night, she goes to the script world to fully immerse herself in the role of [Consort Chen].

Under such circumstances, Ye Mo played the role of [Consort Chen] with ease and without any obstacles.

There are no problems with Ye Mo's side; her scenes are being filmed very quickly. What was originally supposed to take more than a month to film now looks like it can be finished in half a month.

That day, Ye Mo had just finished filming a scene and was sitting under a tree enjoying the cool air when Zhou Xiaoyu fanned her vigorously with a fan while complaining about the awful weather.

It's already the end of October, and the weather is still so hot. Today the temperature is almost 40 degrees Celsius. Ye Mo, who is afraid of the heat, has become a "dead fish" lying on the chair after filming one scene.

At this point, it was impossible to stay in character; she had become a wilted, dehydrated flower, almost withered.

Surprisingly, even in her current state, Ye Mo was able to maintain a perfect performance during filming. With a single "action" move, she could instantly transform into [Consort Chen], which amazed everyone on the crew.

"Here!" Jiang Yiben, the male lead of the film crew, came over and handed Ye Mo a cup of iced milk tea.

Ye Mo opened her eyes and looked at him, "Where did you come from?"

Jiang Yiben gestured to the woman talking to Director He, "My agent bought them; the whole crew has them."

Ye Mo glanced around and indeed noticed that everyone in the crew was holding a cup of iced milk tea. Without much hesitation, he accepted Jiang Yiben's milk tea. "Thank you."

Jiang Yiben sat down next to Ye Mo and asked, "Your acting skills are really good now, even I'm impressed. Do you have any secrets to it?"

Ye Mo pondered.

She couldn't reveal the existence of 888, so she could only give other answers.

"If you're talking about a secret, does diligence count?" she asked.

Jiang Yiben immediately said, "Of course it counts. Diligence can be considered a talent. Many people can't even be diligent..."

He exclaimed with genuine admiration, "You truly impress me. To have improved your acting skills to this level in such a short time is something I'm truly ashamed of."

Ye Mo returned the favor, saying, "Your acting is pretty good too."

Jiang Yiben smiled and said, "Tomorrow I have a scene with you. If you don't mind, I'd like to come to your room tonight and we can go over the lines?"

As he spoke, in a corner where no one could see him, he reached out and grabbed Ye Mo's hand, gently scratching Ye Mo's palm with his fingers.

Ye Mo: "..."

At that moment, Ye Mo felt goosebumps rise on her hands. She stared intently at Jiang Yiben and suddenly asked loudly, "... Teacher Jiang, why did you suddenly grab my hand?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt countless eyes on her, even Director He and Jiang Yiben's agent, who were talking in the distance, looked over.

Seeing this, Ye Mo shifted his body, allowing everyone to see more clearly that Jiang Yiben was holding his right hand.

"..."

Jiang Yiben never expected Ye Mo to reveal this so directly. This wasn't the scene he had envisioned. Wasn't Ye Mo afraid of being gossiped about by others?

Now, being watched by everyone, his expression froze, and he flung Ye Mo away as if he were being burned.

"... Miss Ye, you really know how to joke," he said with a dry laugh, then turned the tables, saying, "It was Mingming you who suddenly grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go, and now you're saying I grabbed your hand? Isn't that going too far?"

Ye Mo: "Oh?"

She was sitting in a chair higher than Jiang Yiben, so she was practically looking down at him with disdain. She said lightly and confidently, "Mr. Jiang, perhaps you think too highly of yourself. Your appearance doesn't fit my aesthetic standards."

In other words, I don't like you.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yiben immediately blushed, looking insulted, and his eyes were filled with anger and disgust as he looked at Ye Mo.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Ye didn't say that when she grabbed my hand just now! I don't know where I offended Miss Ye, that she would use such a thing to slander me!"

Ye Mo shrugged and said, "Mr. Jiang might not like hearing this, but why don't you ask everyone else, do you think you and I are a good match?"

The crowd glanced at Ye Mo, then at Jiang Yiben, and many shook their heads in unison.

Although Jiang Yiben's appearance wasn't bad, he was clearly far inferior to Ye Mo. Ye Mo's temperament and appearance were top-notch. Standing next to her, Jiang Yiben, who wasn't bad-looking, looked like a monkey. They were a mismatched pair no matter how you looked at it.

--Especially recently, when everyone in the crew was completely captivated by Ye Mo's [Consort Chen].

The crew looked at Jiang Yiben with apologetic eyes, but they simply couldn't bring themselves to say they were a good match!

Jiang Yiben, who was being looked at apologetically by everyone, said, "..."

Completely unprepared for the crew's lack of respect, his expression froze.

"Furthermore," Ye Mo smiled and pointed to the camera next to him, "There are cameras here. It should record whether Mr. Jiang grabbed my hand first or I grabbed Mr. Jiang's hand first. Shall we open it and confirm?"

"He was Yiben joking with you, Miss Ye," Zhu Hong, Jiang Yiben's agent, strode over and said with a smile, "That's just how he is; he always makes jokes that nobody gets. It's quite a headache for me."

When Zhu Hong said he was joking, Jiang Yiben's expression was clearly annoyed, but after being given a warning look by Zhu Hong, he still said with a slight twitch of his lips, "I was indeed joking..."

He said reluctantly, "I have many sisters in my family, so I'm sometimes a little inconsiderate towards girls. I'm really sorry."
