Huayu: Little Flower, please place your order.

Chapter 108: Filming Wraps Up

Seeing Jing Tian's fierce expression, with his eyes wide and cheeks puffed out in anger, he looked quite adorable.

Li Mo smiled, touched, but before he could give Jing Tian a chance to show off, Li Mo exposed Han Han's little trick.

Jing Tian then nodded to indicate that he understood.

Although Jing Tian understood, he still had a very bad impression of Han Han, and his original image of him was shattered.

Although Han Han's phone call was just a prank, it did serve as a reminder to Li Mo.

He knew it was time for him to go back.

Only by constantly making progress can one see more of the scenery, so Li Mo should continue to move forward.

I hope that when we meet again next time, everyone will look even more radiant and glowing.

Li Mo then took the initiative to end the card game, and the group went back to sleep. However, judging from their expressions, they were all a little reluctant to leave.

It feels a bit like that Sunday night feeling from when I was a kid.

At that moment, I really felt that time was too short, and I wished I could stay in that one second.

However, Li Mo slept soundly that night, since he had suffered terribly the night before and hadn't rested well at all.

Then, after all that, I had to travel around, drive, and cook, so my battery was already running low.

The next day, Li Mo, having finally slept enough, woke up feeling refreshed and didn't bother to wake Reba and Jing Tian.

After washing up, she went downstairs alone to eat breakfast, and then brought the packed breakfast to Dilraba's room.

After a few knocks, Reba yawned and came to open the door.

Li Mo knew that Dilraba's sleeping posture wasn't very good, and naturally, after a night's sleep, her pajamas would be in disarray.

In addition, she had just woken up and was still a little dazed, so she forgot to tidy her clothes.

So, the hot bar that opened its doors like this was considered to be giving Li Mo the first wave of benefits early in the morning.

Didn't I just finish eating? Why am I hungry again? I want some plain steamed buns...

"rogue.."

While eating breakfast, Reba mocked Li Mo's look from earlier.

She certainly knows what she looks like now; it's all part of her clever scheme.

She was still a little smug. Hmph, she was still dazzled by what she saw.

At this moment, I still miss King Zhou and Daji from that night, if Jing Tian hadn't come.

Maybe that night will be even more wonderful!

After breakfast, Li Mo took Reba to the hotel where her film crew was staying.

Dilraba's luggage is mostly at the film crew's hotel, so she has to go there, while Jing Tian doesn't need to go back to the film crew's hotel.

She can sleep in and then leisurely go straight back to the film set.

About an hour later, Li Mo sent Jing Tian a text message, informing him of the current situation, and then quietly left with Reba.

Li Mo didn't want to delay the film crew's schedule, so after Li Mo and Reba landed in Beijing, Li Mo was transferred to Mongolia again that very night.

Even the enthusiastic invitation from the hot bar was rejected, which shows how determined Li Mo is.

...

"I kindly offered to give you a ride, but you went around flirting with women and ended up losing Hu Sheng."

"You trusted men blindly, lost your car, and now you're still defending them."

"When I was teaching, I felt that every poor student had something to offer, so don't be so absolute."

...

"Look at this frog, it knows to run away when the water gets warmer! Even animals adapt to their environment, so why can't we humans?"

"Bang!"

Just as the frog was about to run away, Haohan covered the pot with the lid.

"This is reality!"

Despite repeated setbacks, the vast ocean and rivers continued their journey, encountering A-Lu, a traveler, along the way.

He got on the bus under the pretext of hitchhiking, and compared to the previous passengers, Ah Lu seemed to be the purest element in the road movie.

Li Mo once watched a road movie from the 1980s, starring Chen Baoguo.

I also encountered people trying to hitch a ride there, and they ended up being scammed as well.

Their common role is to push the whole story to its climax, and A-Lu plays that role.

When A-Lu got into the car, he did indeed play a certain role in their lives.

Both Haohan, who was devastated by Yingying, and Jianghe, who was devastated by Sumi, were somewhat roused by Alu's appearance.

However, their trust was betrayed once again when A-Lu tricked them into taking the car.

The final farewell was between Jiang He and Hao Han.

After the conflict comes growth, and growth is always accompanied by parting.

"Click~"

After Li Mo returned to the film crew, the progress immediately accelerated.

For a full two weeks, Li Mo maintained a high-intensity shooting schedule of more than ten hours a day.

No one is more eager for "The Continent" to wrap up filming as soon as possible than Li Mo; he feels uncomfortable if even one day is delayed.

After all, the sooner we finish filming, the sooner we can do post-production, and the sooner we can submit it for review and go through the subsequent procedures.

To achieve this goal, Li Mo not only had to complete all the preparations a day in advance after more than ten hours of intense filming before she would rest.

Han Han saw Li Mo's enthusiasm and was pleased. Who could resist a hard-working, dedicated person who would voluntarily work overtime?

Soon it was time for Li Mo to finish filming.

Or rather, it was the day the entire crew wrapped up filming, with the final scene depicting Jiang He teaching in western China.

After the venue was set up, Li Mo began his performance.

"All departments, prepare!"

"Scene 148, Shot 2, Action!" (from the film *The Continent*)

Jiang He's attire remained the same, yet everything seemed to have changed.

Compared to his time teaching on Dongji Island, his experience in the west has given him a deeper understanding of his own purity.

He knew he was not suited for society, so he never entered it.

Jiang He finally understood his own heart; he was lucky, for he had made peace with himself.

Therefore, he enjoys everything he has now: innocent and carefree children, material conditions that are not abundant but sufficient for survival, and the fulfillment from his spiritual world.

After so many days of intense filming, Li Mo has lost a lot of weight.

And because filming was about to wrap up, his mindset and state of mind reached their peak, and thus the image of a thin but full-hearted man immediately came to life.

Many, many years later, Jiang He finally held on to his principles and became a writer.

He wrote a book about his experiences along the way, called "The Traveler".

"I never thought we'd say goodbye in a place like this. But when you say goodbye to someone, you have to put in a lot of effort, because every extra word you say might be the last, and every extra glance you take might be the last."

"Click!"

Han Han's voice broke the silence of the scene.

He stood up and clapped his hands vigorously: "Perfect! That's a good take!"

His eyes were full of admiration for Li Mo.

Of course, he said this to Li Mo, and then he turned around to face the entire crew and shouted loudly:

"We've wrapped filming!"

His tone was full of excitement and satisfaction. To say that he felt no pressure making such a film would be a lie.

Moreover, completing a work is a very fulfilling thing in itself.

You can see from the character Jiang He that Han Han incorporated some of his own ideas into the creation of this character.

So, as a Virgo, he is emotional.

A huge round of applause erupted from the audience.

Li Mo was still in the scene, and it took him a while to slowly come out of character.

The filming lasted for more than a month. Li Mo, as Jiang He, had been alive for more than a month, especially the last month.

Li Mo practically transformed into a river, living with the characters every moment.

Now that it's suddenly over, I still feel a strange sense of emptiness.

He needs time to calm down and find himself again. No wonder he can't seamlessly transition into new roles; it's really hard to adjust when you get too deeply involved in a role.

As for shows like "The Big Secret" where they film multiple projects simultaneously, that's purely commercial, and there's no point in discussing art in those.

"Tonight's crew dinner, everyone relax, drink and have fun!"

"Okay!"

Li Mo returned to his room, took a shower, and changed back into his own clothes.

Looking at the costume he had taken off, Li Mo remained silent until Old Wang came in.

"What's wrong, Brother Mo? Why are you staring at this outfit?"

"Old Wang, could you please keep this garment safe for me?"

Although Old Wang didn't understand, he still nodded and said, "I understand."

Old Wang could understand other clothes, but Jiang He's clothes were really nothing special.

Do I need to keep even a very ordinary jacket or similar garment?

Li Mo doesn't know how many roles an actor can play in his career, but he wants to record his acting career.

At six o'clock in the evening, Li Mo went out and arrived at the restaurant where the gathering was to take place.

When Li Mo arrived, almost the entire crew was there, and the place was incredibly lively.

Everyone was enthusiastically chatting, drinking, talking, and playing drinking games—there was something for everyone.

Someone spotted Li Mo first and shouted:

"Hey, Brother Mo's here! Let's toast to today's star!"

Feng Shaofeng then walked over and raised his glass: "Congratulations on wrapping up filming today!"

Li Mo took the glass from the waiter, filled it with wine, and clinked glasses with him: "Congratulations to you and everyone here as well."

Afterwards, Li Mo drank it all in one gulp and then poured himself another glass.

"Whether we're the protagonist or the supporting character, that's all for outsiders to hear. In my heart, we're all just conveyors of good stories, so this toast is to my comrades!"

"Okay!"

"Let's go, brothers!"

After everyone finished their drinks, Li Mo stopped being so high-profile. He would return the toasts offered by others, but he didn't cause any trouble. He was no longer the same person he had been before.

He was simply chatting with Han Han.

"Xiao Mo, what do you think of our movie? Do you think it'll be a success?"

After a few drinks, Han Han was actually quite conflicted about the movie.

He stroked the wine glass with his fingers and said softly.

"Didn't you say you'd never lost to Guo Jingming?"

They've known each other for over two months now, and under Li Mo's tutelage, Han Han has already become somewhat desensitized.

Nowadays, mentioning Guo Jingming is no longer so sensitive, at least not to Li Mo.

"Of course! What does he have to compare with me?"

"Then what are you afraid of?"

Han Han didn't know how to respond, so he poured himself a drink, thus defusing the topic.

"Seriously, Xiao Mo, if this movie is good, I'll ask you to make the next one."

Han Han didn't say what would happen if things didn't go well, but Li Mo knew that, apart from parents, most people only have one chance with each other.

Moreover, it's quite obvious that Han Han wants to promote Li Mo during the film's promotional period.

After all, he has the biggest hype. The marketing for Feng Shaofeng focuses on how hard he worked, how difficult the conditions were, and how much he sacrificed for the film.

But Li Mo's marketing is different. Li Mo, the original author of "The Ordinary Road," and Han Han, the author of "The Continent," resonated with each other's souls, jointly composing a story about youth...

If we catch them, we'll be the best partners in the world.

If I didn't catch it, then I'm sorry, who are you?

"I'll reserve a time slot for you, but next time I'll charge more!"

"Haha, are we even talking about this? But next time, I definitely won't be short of your money!"

"That's great, you didn't embarrass us, Mr. Hu!"

After chatting for a while, the two talked about their careers and then their lives. They didn't know how long they had been drinking when Li Mo received a phone call, but he didn't have time to see who was calling.

Li Mo answered the phone directly, but it was too noisy around him, and he couldn't hear what the other person was saying at all.

After struggling for five minutes and hearing nothing, Li Mo hung up the phone, planning to call her back later.

But then a bunch of people came to toast him, and Li Mo completely forgot about it.

Everyone knows Li Mo can drink, so they all like to invite him to drink. They drank from about six o'clock until about ten o'clock.

Li Mo's will began to waver again, just then someone walked in through the door.

"Oh dear, why are you only arriving now..."

"Hehe, I..."

The voice that answered was female; it sounded somewhat familiar, but I couldn't quite place it.

"He's had too much to drink, so I'll take him with me..."

This "he" should refer to himself; Li Mo felt as if he were being hugged by a soft doll.

Everyone seemed engrossed in the party, and few cared what had happened to Li Mo after he was taken away.

Just knowing that they're not outsiders is enough.

Right there in front of everyone, Li Mo was taken away by a large doll.

Li Mo is currently in a state close to being drunk, and the doll seems to be unable to control him.

Panting heavily the whole way, and stumbling and falling repeatedly, he finally managed to get Li Mo onto the soft bed.

"You're really drunk! I went out of my way to find you right after filming wrapped, and here you are, completely wasted!"

Is the doll a little angry?

who is she?

Li Mo wanted to open his eyes to see, but unfortunately he couldn't.

After the doll placed Li Mo on the bed, it ignored him and then the sound of water could be heard.

"Splash..."

The doll went to take a bath. What does she need to do in the bath...?

Not only did the doll take a bath, but after it came out of the bathroom, it started tearing off Li Mo's clothes.

One button at a time, as the buttons were unbuttoned, Li Mo's innocence seemed to be swallowed up little by little.

"I smelled so much alcohol that I couldn't sleep well."

A warm, damp towel was placed against Li Mo's skin. The moisture left by the towel evaporated into the air, taking away the excess heat from Li Mo's body.

Comfortable... very comfortable...

It's really great to receive this kind of treatment after getting drunk, but unfortunately most people don't get this treatment. When they're drunk, they're just told to sleep on the sofa.

Immersed in this comfort, Li Mo found it hard to pull himself away.

My consciousness slowly faded, and I could no longer hold on and fell asleep.
