Chapter 253: Chapter 235: One Hundred Million Profit Card (4k) Chapter 253: Chapter 235: One Hundred Million Profit Card (4k) The topic seed a bit heavy.
Lin Qingyue added a bit more weight to the somberness.
“When I was young, my parents got along fine, but now, apart from not being divorced, they pretty much lead separate lives,” Lin Qingyue said with a resigned chuckle.
This…
It was the first ti that Wu Mu had delved into such a conversation with Lin Qingyue, and he montarily didn’t know how to respond properly.
Nevertheless, he felt the heavy atmosphere Lin Qingyue was emanating. Instead of continuing the topic, she stood up with a smile, “Your scene’s done for today, right? Co on, let treat you to a al.”
Wu Mu smiled gently. “Director Lin, you ca all this way to visit , and now you want to treat too?”
After greeting Yang Rongfa, they went out to eat.
By the ti they had finished, it was already eight or nine in the evening.
Wu Mu took Lin Qingyue back to her hotel and then returned to the set.
Normally, leaving early was fine, but today he had scenes to shoot, so departing right after wasn’t proper. He decided to endure and stay a little longer.
Sun Yueqing, the female lead, had endured a lot; she had the most scenes today and after filming them all day, the exhaustion was evident on her face.
However, when she saw Wu Mu return, she gave him a big roll of her eyes, “Here we all are suffering, and you ran off to have fun with a beauty?”
Wu Mu chuckled, “Director Lin ca from afar to visit. It would be rude not to treat her to a al.”
“What’s going on with you and that Director Lin?” Sun Yueqing asked bluntly.
Wu Mu sighed, spread his hands, and said, “Just friends, yeah.”
“Hah, just friends, and she cos all the way from Beijing to visit you?” Sun Yueqing gave him a look that said, ‘figure it out yourself.’
Wu Mu laughed, “Isn’t Director Lin here because she had business in the area and decided to stop by?”
“Do you believe that?”
Of course.
Since Director Lin said so, he would take it at face value.
Wu Mu thought to himself.
Sun Yueqing huffed, sizing him up with a sowhat sardonic air, “I never knew you had such charm with wealthy sponsors before, Mr. Wu Mu. Maybe you could teach a thing or two, eh?”
She reminded him as if deeply concerned for him, “Have you forgotten the last wealthy woman who hurt you? She never really cared about you!”
Wu Mu smiled but said nothing, just watching his friend before him.
Sun Yueqing, still huffing, broke eye contact after a couple of seconds and muttered, “Even if her reputation is sowhat better and she’s unmarried, but… I don’t see it ending well.”
It’s baseless, Teacher Sun, you’re worrying too much.
Wu Mu thought to himself, amused.
But speaking of whether Lin Qingyue felt sothing for him, or even thought about taking it further.
He figured, there likely was sothing.
In reality, it’s hard for long-ti admiration to go unnoticed, especially when in frequent contact.
Attitude and feelings can often be discerned from everyday actions and small details.
It might not be obvious once or twice, but with frequent interactions, even a fool could sense sothing.
So Wu Mu could roughly feel Lin Qingyue’s attitude toward him, and he guessed that, given Lin Qingyue’s intelligence, she probably realized he could feel it.
After crossing over, relying on his stunning looks, “talent”, and personality, he indeed seed to have attracted quite a bit of attention.
But it didn’t matter; his attitude remained the sa.
Regardless, he wasn’t one to make the first move.
…
After staying two days in Chun City, Lin Qingyue, having finished her business at the TV station, departed.
Wu Mu continued filming.
This ti, the shoot stretched for quite a period.
They fild for about a month because Yang Rongfa had intentionally arranged his scenes early to finish them sooner, allowing him to be free for the upcoming schedules. Thus, his already limited scenes progressed swiftly.
Only a few key scenes remained.
But, previously relying on skill and talent, finding various ways to cope, Wu Mu finally encountered a problem.
“Cut.”
“Wu Mu, it feels off, let’s do another take.”
“Cut.”
“Still not right.”
“Cut.”
Watching Wu Mu, who needed to retake the scene four or five tis unsuccessfully, Yang Rongfa shook his head, stood up, and said, “Mr. Wu Mu, take a break for a while.”
Then, he clapped his hands towards the crew and announced, “Everyone take a break, grab so food and drinks from the rest area, it’s been personally sent by our investor Mr. Fang this morning to treat everyone.”
After rearranging the crew, Yang Rongfa turned to Wang Ren and whispered, “Can we swap the scenes around or simplify this one? Wu Mu’s not in the right state, and keeping it this way isn’t helping.”
Although Wu Mu had already repeated the scene four or five tis, Yang Rongfa didn’t jump to the conclusion that Wu Mu’s acting was poor.
Everyone has off days, even the legendary actors who have made history couldn’t always get it in one take.
A shot taking ten or twenty attempts was not uncommon, even for celebrated actors. Perhaps even more frequently.
In the past month, Wu Mu had already “proved” himself thoroughly in front of them.
His scenes, though not all stunning, maintained the usual quality without any notable mistakes, and he occasionally delivered an exceptional performance.
In the view of Yang Rongfa and others, Wu Mu’s performance was certainly no less impressive than main actors like Cui Fu and Wu Jing.
Considering Wu Mu’s appearance and the roles he portrayed, his performances were likely to leave a deeper impression on the audience.
