Fang Mo'er did not know that her photos had sparked the trend of wearing ancient clothes.
It had even led to a surge in sales at her own family's clothing store.
After posting the photos, she had muted her phone and gone outside with Shi Mo to prepare for the film shoot.
Director Wang was looking at the camera lens.
Today was the day to shoot the scenes with the male and female leads.
It was also the most important scene in a TV series. If the male and female leads did not have chemistry as a couple when they acted together, or if they did not act well, the entire TV series would collapse.
However, Fang Mo'er was just a new actress who had debuted less than half a year ago.
Shi Mo was an investor and had never acted before.
Director Wang did not have much confidence in the two of them acting together. He was already prepared to shoot many bloopers.
Even though Shi Mo was an investor in the TV series, the director was determined to achieve good results. He was prepared to offend Shi Mo and have him reshoot a few more times.
If he dealt with it too casually in the beginning, then it would not bode well for the rest of the shoot.
Director Wang still hoped to be responsible for his own work.
However, Director Wang's thoughts were fairly gloomy as he seemed to be facing his doom. Suddenly, he heard footsteps.
The assistant said, "Director Wang, the actors are here!"
Director Wang quickly turned his melancholic gaze to the side.
For a moment, he thought that he had really seen the characters from the script.
Fang Mo'er was alluring.
Shi Mo moved like an elegant mythical being, even though there was a sense of cool detachment in his eyes.
He did not know if it was because of the clothes, but at that moment, the director excitedly stood up. He actually felt a little bit of anticipation for this television drama that did not seem to have much hope.
This kind of look was really eye-catching, wasn't it?
"Ahem." Director Wang coughed to keep himself calm. So what if the costumes were good? What was more important was the acting skills of the actors.
"Are you ready?"
Director Wang had chosen a scene that was the least difficult.
"This scene is where the male and female lead meet by chance in the hall. The two of them catch sight of each other, they exchange glances, and then very quickly leave."
The director thought to himself, this should not be too difficult.
After all, the two of them only needed to walk for a short distance before exchanging a quick glance.
It was just to lay the groundwork for the story to unfold in the future.
Fang Mo'er and Shi Mo both nodded. They did not have any problems with this plot.
Director Wang's heart relaxed. "Then, let's begin!"
He sat down in the director's chair and shouted the start with the loudspeaker.
On their end, Fang Mo'er and Shi Mo started to walk towards the intersection from their respective positions.
The director looked at the beautiful scene and nodded.
Very good, maintain this action and look at each other.
The assistant whispered from the side, "Director Wang, the gaze is the hardest to shoot."
Director Wang was still immersed in the beauty of the scene and could not help but shiver.
He finally reacted.
In the scene, Fang Mo'er and Shi Mo were about to meet at the corner.
However, Director Wang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
He had initially thought that this would just be a simple scene, but he had forgotten that the most difficult part of this scene was the look in their eyes.
It was not as simple as just having a quick glance at each other.
When they looked at each other, there would be a flash of surprise in the demoness' eyes. She had to act out the feeling that she was thinking of something naughty.
The high monk recognized that the woman in front of him was his childhood playmate. However, he restrained the emotions in his eyes.
This was not a simple scene at all. In fact, it was a very difficult one.
Director Wang clenched the script in his hand nervously.
He saw that Fang Mo'er's demoness finally stood still as she turned around and spotted the man who was walking over not far away.
Then, in the camera.
In Fang Mo'er's close-up, there seemed to be a flash of light. Her eyes flashed with surprise and playfulness. These two emotions flashed past and were quickly replaced by a bad intention. She curled her lips into a smile.
That smile made everything around her pale in comparison.
