Capítulo 642: Chapter 616: A Single Continuous Shot

Jia Rui was very excited, she felt she was really lucky.

If she hadn’t met Ye Chen that day, she probably would have had to accept that fresh-faced young actor for the lead role.

But that fresh face couldn’t handle the role at all. If he starred in the drama, the ratings would only be average.

However, Ye Chen is different. She had a gut feeling that Ye Chen could bring this character to life.

And now she knows Ye Chen is the investor, she no longer has to worry about funding issues.

Chen Wan had already told her as he was leaving.

“If you need money, just talk to him.”

When the boss is making a drama and is also the lead actor, how could there be a lack of funds?

Then, the whole crew started to take action.

Ye Chen was seen entering the makeup room.

The makeup artist was very polite to Ye Chen.

“Mr. Ye, I’ll do your makeup. If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, please feel free to tell me.”

Ye Chen nodded: “Hmm, no need to be so formal, just do it according to your ideas.”

“Mm-hmm.”

At this time, Yang Mimi and Tong Liya were sitting beside him.

Yang Mimi laughed and said, “Ye Chen, you have to take good care of me later.”

Ye Chen had many scenes with Yang Mimi, so she was also looking forward to working with him.

Tong Xiaoya, feeling frustrated, said, “If I had known I would be acting with Ye Chen, I’d have fought you for the female lead role.”

Yang Mimi said proudly, “Too late, Director Jia has already decided.”

Both Yang Mimi and Tong Xiaoya understood that acting was their career, but for Ye Chen, it was just for fun.

For a big shot like Ye Chen, money was not needed. In other words, he was acting because it was entertaining.

The makeup artist continued to do Ye Chen’s makeup while laughing and said, “Mr. Ye, your skin is really well-maintained, better than most girls’.

Both Yang Mimi and Tong Xiaoya curiously looked over.

Yang Mimi, the closest to Ye Chen, exclaimed, “Oh my God, Ye Chen, what skincare products do you use?”

Ye Chen chuckled: “Me? I use Dabao every day.”

Yang Mimi looked incredulous: “Hmph, don’t deceive me, I use brand-name skincare products, yet I still get pimples sometimes—quick, introduce me to some.”

Ye Chen was speechless.

The reason his skin was good was because of his charm value.

Improving the charm value allowed him to achieve perfection in every aspect.

Tong Xiaoya also, feeling frustrated, said, “Ye Chen, you have to introduce us to your skincare products. We actors fear nothing more than pimples.”

Ye Chen smiled gently: “Tell you what, later I’ll give each of you a bottle of skincare cream that ensures you won’t get pimples, even if you stay up late.”

“Really?” Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Tong Xiaoya and Yang Mimi became excited.

Ye Chen nodded.

Having divine-level medical skills, making such beauty creams was naturally very easy.

After the three of them finished their makeup, they went to the filming site.

Seeing Ye Chen after makeup, Jia Rui admired her own vision even more.

Ye Chen, after makeup, didn’t even have to act; his aura was completely like a prince.

The filming began.

Ye Chen was perfect in terms of position, lines, and facial expressions.

After all, as a director himself, such filming was easy for him.

Jia Rui was dumbfounded.

Initially, she had some concerns that, since it was Ye Chen’s first time acting, he might be a bit rusty and need time to get into character.

But as Ye Chen stood in front of the camera, he completely displayed the demeanor of a veteran actor.

Every scene was completed in one take.

The shooting progress was incredibly fast.

Oh my God, this was simply an acting prodigy.

Jia Rui even believed that if Ye Chen joined the entertainment industry, he’d surely be an actor of Film Emperor level.

Ye Chen’s performance left everyone in awe.

Especially Ye Chen’s aura, which was clearly the embodiment of the Eighth Prince.

Ye Chen almost brought the Eighth Prince to life.

Everyone couldn’t believe their eyes.

Ye Chen was evidently displaying the performance of a veteran actor.

Even Jia Rui, who was very strict about acting, couldn’t help but stand up and applaud.

Even Yang Mimi, who was acting opposite Ye Chen, felt a bit pressured.

Among female actors, Yang Mimi’s skills were considered excellent, but acting opposite Ye Chen was overwhelming.

Ye Chen could directly immerse himself into a scene.

Actually, with Ye Chen’s divine-level acting, performing a role well was incredibly simple.

As soon as he started acting, he became the character in the drama, and the character in the drama was him.

This was the incredible power of divine-level acting.

To instantly get into character and seamlessly integrate emotions into a character’s soul—very few people could achieve this.

At this moment, both Yang Mimi and Tong Xiaoya looked at Ye Chen with completely changed eyes.

This acting was simply too extraordinary.

After the scene ended, the director finally called “cut!”

Jia Rui had been filming for many years but had never felt so pleased.

For she felt she didn’t need to explain the scenes to the actors or guide them on their positions and expressions for the character.

Whatever she thought of, Ye Chen achieved; whatever she hadn’t thought of, Ye Chen also accomplished.

After acting, Yang Mimi looked at Ye Chen, her heart pounding.

Yang Mimi had acted with many male actors, including some of Film Emperor level.

But no actor had ever earned her admiration like this.

Ye Chen’s impressive acting was truly the first for her.

Most importantly, Ye Chen’s charm was simply enchanting.

Even during romantic scenes with Ye Chen, Yang Mimi didn’t want the director to say stop.

Ye Chen looked at the time: “Alright, my time is up. I have to go.”

The director looked at the time, just two hours.

But in two hours, Ye Chen had finished filming what was supposed to be shot in a day.

This speed was incredible.

Most importantly, every shot was done in one take, without any NGs.

Jia Rui had been filming for so many years, and it was her first time encountering a situation like this.

Yang Mimi looked at Ye Chen with some doubt: “Ye Chen, have you studied acting? Your performance is so good.”

Ye Chen smiled gently: “Really? Maybe I’m just a genius. Acting, to me, is as simple as drinking water.”

Yang Mimi: “…”

After filming, Ye Chen drove off, ready to run DiDi.

At this time, Ye Chen’s phone rang. It was Lin Shiyin calling.

“Ye Chen, come to the school, the project we were working on has made progress.”

“Alright, I’ll head over now.”

It seemed those students were quite remarkable, being able to complete the research in such a short time.

Although Ye Chen had pointed them in the right direction, the fact they could find the way showed their strength and talent.

Ye Chen drove to Star University and headed straight to the laboratory.

Seeing Ye Chen, Lu Yuan ran over excitedly: “Principal Ye, we’ve succeeded.”
