It came out.
She frantically snapped several photos of Ye Mo with her phone. To make it easier for her to take pictures, Ye Mo even struck a few poses, which made the stylist's photography even more uninterrupted.
Ye Mo smiled and said, "It's because of your great styling, Sister Lin."
Sister Lin was very self-aware. She put away her phone, shook her head, and said, "It's not that my styling is good; it's just that you're too handsome, Ye Mo... My styling is just icing on the cake for you."
She had done so many looks before, but none of them were this outstanding. In the end, it was because Ye Mo's appearance was too outstanding, and her temperament was too good. Ordinary makeup and styling became extremely excellent on her.
Zhou Xiaoyu reached out to help Ye Mo straighten the hem of her skirt. That's the downside of palace dramas; the layers of clothing make them look cumbersome.
After Zhou Xiaoyu finished getting ready, Ye Mo said, "Alright, let's go out."
As Ye Mo walked out of the dressing room, she was playing with her phone, seemingly sending a message. After she disappeared from the dressing room, Sister Lin's phone, which was still inside, suddenly chimed, indicating that a message had arrived.
Sister Lin picked up the phone, and when she saw who sent the message, a look of confusion appeared on her face.
"Ye Mo?" She was puzzled and peeked outside. "Why did she message me? Is there something she can't say to my face?"
For a moment, Sister Lin's mind was filled with all sorts of unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, until she saw the message from Ye Mo, and her expression froze.
The next second, Sister Lin rushed to the mirror on the dressing table and grinned at the mirror, showing off her big white teeth.
A green vegetable leaf was stuck to one of her pearly white teeth, making it stand out conspicuously.
Sister Lin: "..."
Not long after, a scream of utter shame and indignation echoed from the dressing room.
***
Before messaging Sister Lin, Ye Mo thought for a long time about how to tell Sister Lin, in an awkward yet polite way, that she had a piece of vegetable stuck in her teeth.
After thinking it over, she decided to send a message, at least to avoid making things too awkward.
After sending the message, she and Zhou Xiaoyu arrived at the film set. Everyone on set was preparing for the next take. Zhou Xiaoyu set up a bench for Ye Mo to sit on and waited with her for filming to begin.
Ye Mo sensitive to heat, and even with a fan blowing on her face, she was covered in sweat in no time, so the makeup artist had to touch up her makeup several times.
However, the heat did not affect Ye Mo's filming performance. Standing in front of the camera, with the sound of "action," her entire demeanor underwent a tremendous change. Lying on her side on the soft couch, she looked beautiful and delicate, with a pair of fair and delicate wrists and bright, affectionate eyes that seemed to hold countless emotions.
Only a woman like this [Consort Chen] could convince people that she was the most beautiful woman in the country, and the favored concubine who made the emperor neglect his morning court sessions.
"... Clearly, [Consort Chen] is Miss Ye, but I just feel that [Consort Chen] is prettier than Miss Ye!" After filming a take, the crew members couldn't help but discuss it with the people around them.
Those around her wholeheartedly agreed, "Indeed, [Consort Chen] made half my body go weak at first glance, I don't think Miss Ye would feel that way!"
"This only proves that Miss Ye's acting skills are truly excellent. Who said her acting wasn't good before? Her acting skills are clearly superb!"
"She really wasn't good before. I watched some of her old movies, and her acting was just... emmm. I don't know what kind of good acting coach she found recently, but her acting has improved by leaps and bounds!"
Zhou Xiaoyu listened intently to the discussions, and upon hearing these comments, she couldn't help but chuckle and say to Ye Mo, "Sister Momo, everyone's saying your acting is super good now!"
It's not like before. When Sister Momo was filming, people would say behind her back that she was a nepotism hire, that her acting was terrible, and maliciously speculate that she slept with investors to get the role. Hearing this made Zhou Xiaoyu furious.
Fortunately, this time the situation is completely different from before. No one said that Sister Momo was a relative; everyone is praising Sister Momo acting skills, which is really great.
Zhou Xiaoyu looked delighted, as if she were the one being praised, which made Ye Mo feel both touched and amused.
Ye Mo didn't have many scenes to film today; the main scenes were tomorrow. So, after filming her scheduled scenes for today, the director gave her a day off early.
After returning to the hotel, Ye Mo ate a meal but didn't rest. Instead, he went straight into the Role Immersion Room and entered the Script World once again.
Ye Mo felt she was really clumsy and lacked talent when it came to acting, so she could only use the brute force method: if she didn't do well the first time, she would do it twice; if she didn't do it well two or three times, she would do it four or five times; or even dozens or hundreds of times...
No one knows how long she spent honing her skills in the Script World before delivering such amazing acting performances in real life; only Ye Mo herself knows the truth.
Ye Mo barely slept that night. She managed to doze off for a short while in the morning, sleeping for less than an hour before Zhou Xiaoyu woke her up.
Ye Mo was in a daze because she hadn't slept well, and she didn't even know how she got up. In the end, it was Zhou Xiaoyu who covered her face with a wet cloth to help her wake up.
After Ye Mo finished washing up, Zhou Xiaoyu had already made her some black coffee. Seeing Ye Mo grimacing from the bitterness of the coffee, Zhou Xiaoyu asked helplessly, "Sister Momo, did you spend all night reading scripts last night?"
She knew very well that Ye Mo hated bitterness the most. According to her, she had suffered too much bitterness when she was a child, so she only liked sweet food. Therefore, she disliked the taste of black coffee the most.
Ye Mo would never have drunk black coffee if it weren't to perk himself up.
Ye Mo: "... I did read the script a little longer, but it's okay, I'll just drink some more coffee."
After downing a cup of black coffee, Ye Mo was incredibly energetic.
On the way to the film set, Ye Mo had already begun to prepare her emotions for the next scene, which made her appear somewhat silent. Once on set, she Momo huddled in a corner, flipping through the script.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Yiben across from her couldn't help but scoff and mutter, "Pretentious."
He clearly still harbored resentment towards Ye Mo for disrespecting him that day and exposing the whole affair, but he still didn't dare to do anything to Ye Mo, because Ye Mo was backed by the Ye Corporation, and no matter how bold he was, he wouldn't dare to touch him.
So after thinking it over, I could only keep this anger inside.
Ye Mo was aware that Jiang Yiben held a grudge against him—she wasn't stupid, how could she not sense it? But Ye Mo didn't care; after all, there was nothing she could do, and what was wrong with letting her think about it?
Now, Ye Mo's attention is no longer on Jiang Yiben; his mind and eyes are entirely focused on the script.
Not long after, Shen Yan arrived. He didn't come alone; he brought more than a dozen of Ye Mo's fans with him.
Today, Ye Mo arranged for fans to visit the set, mainly for this purpose. Of course, he didn't come empty-handed; he brought ice cream and fruit for the entire crew, which earned everyone's gratitude.
As for the issue of fans visiting the set, it had already been discussed with the production crew beforehand, so it didn't cause any controversy.
The fans who came were all well-known figures in Ye Mo's fan group. Many of them had participated in the set visit before and knew the rules, so they didn't make a fuss or disturb the filming.
