Chapter 22 Shooting
The next day, Chen Mo went to the company early in the morning. He couldn't wait to record the song he wrote last night.

"Brother Zhang, good morning." Chen Mo saw Zhang Yundong as soon as he entered the company.

"Good morning, why did you come so early today?" Zhang Yundong was a little surprised to see Chen Mo coming so early.

Normally it was normal for Chen Mo to be late, and it was rare for him to arrive on time, let alone early. But he would always get off work on time, and sometimes even early.

Sometimes Zhang Yundong always felt that Chen Mo was like working in someone else's company, and was afraid that the company would take advantage of him if he stayed in the company for one more minute.

But if this happened in someone else's company, I would have been fired long ago.

"I wrote a song last night and I have some ideas about the arrangement. Brother Zhang, are you free later to help me with some advice?" Chen Mo asked.

"Huh? You wrote a new song? Let me take a look." Zhang Yundong was a little surprised, but did not refuse.

Chen Mo took out a notebook from his bag and handed it over.

"Her Eyelashes?" Zhang Yundong read softly.

"The lyrics you wrote this time are a bit simple." Zhang Yundong quickly read through them.

"Well, this time it's mainly about arranging the music."

"Oh? What do you think of the arrangement?"

“I’m going to arrange this song with a double chorus.”

The two of them walked towards the recording studio while talking.

After finishing the arrangement, Zhang Yundong was inevitably amazed by Chen Mo's ideas.

“Although the double-chorus arrangement is relatively rare, it is not uncommon.”

“But you combined the verse with a double chorus and the change from major to minor. The verse was arranged in the smaller key of A, which is soft and depressing. At first listen, you would think it was a simple song about confessing to your girlfriend. But when it comes to the chorus, it immediately changes to C major. This seems very sudden, but inexplicably there is no sense of disobedience, and it also makes people feel refreshed.” Zhang Yundong commented while listening to the arranged song.

"Hehe." Chen Mo also smiled with some complacency.

"What are you two talking about? What's so eye-catching?" At this time, Lin Nanxi happened to walk in.

"This is a new song written by Chen Mo. This is the tune that was just arranged. Let's listen to it together." Zhang Yundong said as he played the accompaniment of "Her Eyelashes" again.

"Are there any lyrics?" Lin Nanxi asked. She could not forget the lyrics written by Chen Mo.

"Yes, here." Chen Mo handed over the notebook with the lyrics and music.

When she heard the organ prelude, Lin Nanxi thought it was another sad love song, but the melody and the lyrics in her hand surprised her.

Compared to the stunning arrangement, Lin Nanxi was more interested in the lyrics written by Chen Mo. She felt a strong scent of love.

"Of course, Xiao Mo, are you finally in love?" Lin Nanxi joked.

Zhang Yundong was completely confused. He couldn't understand why this woman didn't marvel at the ingenuity of the arrangement, but suddenly started gossiping about love.

"Senior Sister, what's going on?" Chen Mo felt a headache when he saw Lin Nanxi's gossipy look on her face.

"Let me ask you, who did you write this song for?"

"I didn't write it for anyone. I plan to sing this song myself."

"Pretend, pretend it for me."

"What I'm asking is who gave you the inspiration to write this song?" Lin Nanxi is not easy to fool.

"Didn't you say that you got inspiration from Wen for those previous songs? This time, it can't be that Wen's relationship gave you inspiration, right?"

"The idea suddenly came to me yesterday when I was having dinner with Congwen." Chen Mo said.

"anything else?"

"What else?"

"Besides Congwen, who else will be having dinner with us?"

"You can't just look at Congwen, a grown man, and suddenly get the inspiration to write this song." When Lin Nanxi said this, her eyes looked a little strange.

Chen Mo couldn't help but shiver when he heard what Lin Nanxi said.

"Senior sister, what on earth are you thinking about all day? You really should go and have a good relationship."

"Hurry up and tell me, stop playing tricks on me." Lin Nanxi was not distracted.

"There is only one friend."

"female?"

"Why do you always care about men and women?" Chen Mo said helplessly.

"Then why are you always so secretive when you talk about this 'ordinary' friend of yours?" Lin Nanxi asked back, emphasizing the word "ordinary".

"I just don't want to be subject to random speculations from gossipy people like you." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"If you are innocent and have nothing to hide, why would you be afraid of people's speculation?"

"Even when I'm in a relationship, I'm open and honest about it. Why would I have to hide something? You make me sound like a scumbag." Chen Mo was speechless.

"So, why don't you tell the truth?!" Lin Nanxi pressed.

"."Chen Mo, how come you're back to the same place again after all this going on.

However, Chen Mo also realized that when a woman is determined about something, she will be particularly difficult to deal with, even if it is just her wishful thinking.

"It is, but it's not." Chen Mo was still thinking about how to explain the origin of this inspiration clearly.

"No need to say more, I understand." Lin Nanxi interrupted.

“???” Chen Mo, I don’t even understand what I’m saying, and you understand?!
"Did you send out the signed photos yesterday?" Lin Nanxi asked.

Chen Mo nodded hesitantly.

"Does she like this gift very much?"

Chen Mo remembered how happy Xu Hongdou was yesterday and nodded again.

"And she smiled at you?"

Chen Mo thought about it. Did Xu Hongdou smile at him in the car yesterday? It was a little dark in the back seat of the car, so he didn't notice it.

"I see." Looking at Chen Mo's hesitation, Lin Nanxi nodded with understanding.

"So that's what you mean? Don't make up your own stories. This is not watching an idol drama." When Chen Mo saw Lin Nanxi's expression, he knew that she must have misunderstood something.

"I understand, I understand. Don't worry, I won't tell the teacher until you are about to get married. Love needs to ferment slowly." Lin Nanxi had an expression that said "don't worry".

"What do you know? I don't understand myself." Chen Mo felt so tired.

"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you." Lin Nanxi patted Chen Mo's shoulder.

"Forget it, think whatever you want." Chen Mo has given up on quibbling. Bah, no, it's a rebuttal, and he has given up on refuting.

"By the way, please save four front-row tickets for me for the concert in the capital next month." Chen Mo said, remembering it.

"Why are there two more?" Lin Nanxi asked curiously.

"So I told you it's not what you think." Chen Mo explained again.

"Don't worry, I understand. It's a feint to the east and attack in the west to deceive people, right?" Lin Nanxi had a look of seeing through.

"You've learned idioms very well, but please don't use them in the future, thank you." Chen Mo replied with a polite smile.

"How do you plan to release this song?" Zhang Yundong asked after watching the two of them chatting about some random things.

"Just finish recording it today, and then find a time to release it. There's no need to promote it in advance or anything like that." Chen Mo said indifferently.

He doesn't need to rely on this to make his debut, he just simply likes writing songs and singing. Anyway, his family gives him the confidence to be so willful.

"How can this be possible? What if the other person doesn't know and you can't express your feelings?" Lin Nanxi disagreed.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I will definitely help you." Lin Nanxi patted her trembling chest and promised.

"Whatever." Chen Mo didn't refuse.

It would be good if more people could hear his songs, but he didn't have any big ambitions, so he didn't need to promote them or achieve any results to prove anything. "So are you going to release the ones you released a few days ago together?" Zhang Yundong asked.

"Then wait first."

"Do you have other songs?" Lin Nanxi was a little shocked. Her junior brother was so prolific.

"Well, that song was written for my mother. I want her to hear it first. I'll post it after I sing it to her." Chen Mo said.

After hearing what Chen Mo said, although Lin Nanxi was a little curious, she didn't say she wanted to listen first.

The next day, Chen Mo drove to pick up Xu Hongdou and Jiang Congwen early in the morning.

Chen Mo saw Xu Hongdou standing at the gate of the community waiting from afar.

Xu Hongdou wore a simple white top today, with a black casual women's jacket, and a simple pair of jeans and a pair of flat casual shoes on the bottom, and a small shoulder bag. She looked clean and neat, and full of aura.

Oh, and there was Jiang Congwen next to her. Chen Mo only noticed that there were two people when he drove the car to the entrance of the community and stopped.

"Let's go, get in the car." Chen Mo rolled down the car window and greeted the two people.

Jiang Congwen rushed to the back seat first. Seeing this, Xu Hongdou hesitated for a moment and got on the front seat.

If both of them sat in the back, Chen Mo would be considered the driver, which was a bit inappropriate. Xu Hongdou, who worked in the hotel service industry, was quite sensitive to these details.

Besides, there were seats in the front but she didn't sit there, so it would feel weird for her and Jiang Congwen to sit in the back together.

Chen Mo was a little surprised to see Jiang Congwen get on the back seat, but he didn't say much when he saw Xu Hongdou had already opened the passenger door.

He couldn't ask Jiang Congwen why he was sitting in the back. What would Xu Hongdou think? Should she sit in the passenger seat or not?

"Have you all had breakfast? If not, we can buy some on the way." Chen Mo asked.

"I've already eaten." Xu Hongdou said.

"I haven't yet. I got up late this morning and there's nothing to eat at home." Jiang Congwen raised his hand in the back seat.

"Oh, then you can figure it out yourself when you get to the shooting location." Chen Mo nodded and said.

"." Jiang Congwen.

"Then why are you asking me?" Jiang Congwen said unhappily.

"Both of them bought food on the way without eating, and one of them had to stop the car to buy food. It's too troublesome."

"Besides, you don't have to shoot any videos later, so you'll have plenty of time to eat," Chen Mo explained.

But Jiang Congwen's eyes were full of disbelief. He seriously doubted that if he had said he had eaten and Xu Hongdou said she hadn't, Chen Mo would have chosen to stop the car to buy breakfast.

The three of them headed straight to the filming location.

"Director Bi." When Jiang Congwen arrived at the scene, he saw director Bi Shiqun.

"Congwen, you are here." Bi Shiqun greeted Jiang Congwen first, then looked at Chen Mo behind Jiang Congwen.

As the MV and commercial director of Fuyun Entertainment, Bi Shiqun must know Chen Mo, but the two had no chance to interact before.

"Chen" Bi Shiqun didn't know how to address Chen Mo for a moment, and was hesitating whether to call him Mr. Chen or Teacher Chen.

"Hello, Director Bi, my name is Chen Mo. You can just call me by my name." Chen Mo saw Bi Shiqun's hesitation and spoke first.

"Hello, Mr. Chen. I've listened to all the songs you wrote. They are so well written." Bi Shiqun did not follow Chen Mo's words. He felt that it was better to call him Mr. Chen. Chen Mo was not in charge of the company directly yet, so it didn't seem appropriate to call him Mr. Chen.

In the entertainment industry, teacher is a universal title. If you don’t know what to call someone, just call them teacher. The more courtesy you give, the better.

"Thank you. I'll have to trouble you again today, Director Bi." Chen Mo didn't correct anything. It was just a title, just a sedan chair carrying someone.

"It's what I should do. It's my job."

"Then let's get started right away?" Chen Mo asked after the two of them exchanged some pleasantries.

"Of course, let's put on some simple makeup first. You two are so beautiful that you don't even need makeup." Bi Shiqun naturally also noticed Xu Hongdou behind Chen Mo. She was indeed beautiful.

However, because Xu Hongdou was brought by Chen Mo, he did not look at her for long, so as not to offend the prince of the company.

Although Chen Mo has a good reputation in the company and is not overbearing, for a veteran like Bi Shiqun, it is better to be safe than sorry.

"It's all up to you." Chen Mo said politely. As for the compliment from Bi Shiqun, he didn't take it seriously.

If Chen Mo took it seriously, he would say it directly at this time, then he would not need to put on makeup and just shoot directly.

That's a fool.

The plot of this promotional video is simple:
A couple in love were separated due to the strong opposition of the girl's parents, and the girl was sent abroad by her parents.

Ten years later, the girl returned home and unexpectedly met the boy who became a taxi driver again.

The first act is simple:
The two separated, and Chen Mo watched Xu Hongdou leave with the suitcase reluctantly.

In fact, Chen Mo always felt that Fang Shuyun had chosen the wrong career and should have gone into acting.

But in a sense, Chen Mo himself also inherited this talent and emotional involvement.

The fact that Chen Mo is often inspired by Jiang Congwen's experiences shows how delicate and keen he is in emotional perception.

So when Chen Mo thought that Xu Hongdou was his girlfriend, and that such a beautiful girlfriend was going to leave him, he could easily express his emotions of reluctance, unwillingness, and powerlessness, and his eyes even turned red.

The shots of Xu Hongdou are also simple. She only needs to look back reluctantly and then leave with a beautiful back.

Xu Hongdou thought about it for a while, and then put herself in the shoes of the person who had just started working after graduation. She offended a client due to a mistake at work, and the guilt and apologetic feelings she felt when she was trying to retain the client, hoping to be forgiven, and then she expressed that look.

Neither of them is that good, but they are pretty good, at least they won’t distract from the show.

"Click, passed." Bi Shiqun was very satisfied. The performance of the two was beyond his expectations.

Bi Shiqun knew that it was mainly because of the two people's good looks. According to Jiang Congwen, their looks were enough to make people want to admire them when they stood together.

Bi Shiqun deeply agreed with this at the moment, and even felt it was a bit of a pity. If these two people learned a little acting, with their looks, they would never have to worry about having no food to eat.

However, when he thought of Chen Mo's identity, he was amused by his own thoughts. Is it necessary for others to use it?
As for Xu Hongdou, in Bi Shiqun's opinion, she is Chen Mo's person. After all, if you say that she is just a friend, who would believe you?

Even if she is really a friend, who wouldn't be attracted to such a beautiful friend? Only a fool wouldn't be attracted!

Could the prince of Fuyun Entertainment be a fool?
The second scene is in the car.

Ten years later, one day by chance, Xu Hongdou stopped a taxi driven by Chen Mo.

Even though he hadn't seen her for ten years, Chen Mo recognized Xu Hongdou at a glance. She hadn't changed at all and was still as beautiful as before. It seemed that time had been particularly kind to her and had not left any traces on her face.

Chen Mo's eyes were a little dazed. Thinking of his haggard face, he lowered his baseball cap on his head and didn't dare to say hello.

Xu Hongdou in the back seat gave an address. Chen Mo didn't answer, but just nodded and started the car.

Chen Mo wasn't sure whether Xu Hongdou, who was sitting in the back row, also recognized him.

Probably not. After all, it seems that the two of them are at least one round behind each other now, Chen Mo thought with some loneliness and self-mockery in his heart.

Through the rearview mirror, Chen Mo saw Xu Hongdou making a phone call, and the person on the phone seemed to be her good friend.

Along the way, Xu Hongdou kept telling her on the phone about her experiences abroad over the past ten years, while Chen Mo just drove and listened silently.

Finally arriving at the destination, Xu Hongdou hung up the phone and looked at Chen Mo in front of her and said, "I've told you everything I've experienced in the past ten years, and you didn't even say hello?"

It turned out that Xu Hongdou recognized Chen Mo as soon as he got on the car. There was no one on the other end of the phone call. Everything was told by Xu Hongdou to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo was a little choked up at this time, but still forced a smile and said two words tremblingly.

"Hello."

Xu Hongdou was silent for a long time, then said, "Can we still go back?"

"Go back." Chen Mo was silent.

"It'll cost extra to go back, ma'am."
