Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Even though the location their production team chose for filming was very close to the center of the town, right next to the bustling streets and roads of the daytime, many of the alleys in this area were still gloomy and eerie. Among them were even narrow lanes left over from the Middle Ages that had never been fully renovated. When the production crewʼs staff members moved around, they would even deliberately avoid those ”gaps.”

Only the actors performing the scene had to walk all the way to the deepest part of one of these alleys in one go—important parentheses: this refers only to Xiao He.

The staff had roughly cleaned this path during the day, but when Xiao He walked it, he could still catch some unpleasant odors. Combined with the eerie atmosphere of this path, it always made people imagine it as some kind of dangerous crime scene.

But who is Xiao He?

He wasnʼt very afraid of such an environment; in fact, he felt a sense of comfort and ease after blending into the darkness.

After refusing the staffʼs accompaniment, Xiao He walked alone towards the depths of the alley.

Behind him were the production teamʼs crane lights and camera lenses.

Only when Xiao Heʼs figure completely disappeared from the camera lens did Director Zhuang finally call ”Cut.”

And the sound of him raising the loudspeaker to shout ”Cut” was also very easily transmitted through the narrow alley to Xiao Heʼs ears.

This also meant that Xiao Heʼs filming scenes for the night had finally come to an end.

Xiao He calmly walked out of the darkness, returned to the production crewʼs staff, and said thank you: ”Thank you, everyone has worked hard.”

”Teacher Xiao has worked hard too.”

A staff member responded with a smile.

Then Xiao He walked over to Director Zhuangʼs side and, along with Chen You and Xie Jingshi, watched the results of tonightʼs shoot.

To be honest, in this recent comedic scene, the lines spoken by Shi Ji, played by Chen You, were somewhat awkward and unlikable.

After all, someone who talks about sex and money with every opening and closing of their mouth isnʼt exactly a good person.

But Teacher Chen Youʼs portrayal of Shi Ji, with his cadenced speech and rich expressions, instead made it hard for people to feel offended, only finding it quite funny.

Conversely, in such a context, Xiao Heʼs performance felt somewhat out of place.

How to put it? This feeling was like two people from different worlds being forcibly paired together. One could spout dirty, crude jokes without batting an eye, while the other was in a state where even saying ”your father” lacked much convincing power.

Fortunately, from the character settings, the hacker and Shi Ji indeed are people from two different worlds. This sense of dissonance paired together actually made the story wonderfully interesting.

Only Xiao He, after watching the filmed content of this scene, fell into a brief silence.

Although this performance happened to meet the requirements of the plot, it wasnʼt Xiao Heʼs original intention.

He just hadnʼt expected there to be such a clear distinction between himself and an actor like Chen You.

This gap made Xiao He feel somewhat disappointed, more or less.

But he quickly adjusted his mindset and began observing Chen Youʼs performance.

Clearly, even Xie Jingshi, who plays Lu Xiaokong, couldnʼt completely keep up with Chen Youʼs rhythm when everyone was bantering and joking around. But fortunately, thatʼs in line with their characters, so the two of them together didnʼt seem abrupt.

Good, at least being equally mediocre among his peers gave him some peace of mind.

But even though his heart was at ease, the areas that needed improvement still required a lot of work.

After watching, Director Zhuang also briefly explained this situation to Xiao He and Xie Jingshi.

Actually, this level of acting skill is more than sufficient for ”The Phantom Thief Alliance 2.” But since both Xiao He and Xie Jingshi are quite serious people who desire to improve, Director Zhuang didnʼt begrudge his time analyzing some of the current problems in their respective acting skills.

Xiao He and Xie Jingshi listened and nodded repeatedly.
