Chapter 25 The Hot Summer
Seeing Chai Zhiping nod slightly, Lin Qingfang glanced at the tall and imposing Lin Mo and exclaimed in admiration:
"She has a great appearance and great temperament; Sister Chai has a sharp eye!"
After a brief introduction, Angie Chai asked Lin Mo to go with the makeup artist to change clothes.
Chai Zhiping then walked towards Fei Lunhai and the other two who were resting.
"Sister Chai!"
"Hello, Sister Chai."
The three of them immediately stood up to greet him.
The production team and the three main actors of Fahrenheit received a notification from Angie Chai yesterday, informing them that she would be bringing a newcomer to act today.
I just don't know who this person is, that Sister Chai would personally bring him here?
Chai Zhiping gave a brief introduction to Lin Mo.
When everyone learned that Lin Mo was the singer of "Those Years",
"Those Years, that song was really popular."
"Indeed, it sounds very nice."
Jiro Wang and Calvin Chen both shared their opinions.
Jiro Wang also said, "Maybe we can ask him for advice on how to sing."
His words silenced the two people beside him.
Chai Zhiping found it somewhat amusing.
Jiro Wang's personality is such that his mouth is faster than his brain.
Then Chai Zhiping and others introduced Lin Mo after he changed his clothes.
Fei Lunhai and the other two nodded in a friendly manner.
Jiro Wang was very enthusiastic and immediately put his arm around Lin Mo's shoulder:
"Once you're here, you're a brother! The people Sister Chai brought are all my protection! And your portrayal of the Flame Messenger is awesome!"
Lin Mo thought to himself, "No wonder he's Jiro Wang, the one who represents the hot summer in Fahrenheit."
Passionate as fire.
However, when he saw that "Yan," which represents winter, was indeed looking this way with a cold face.
I was once again struck by the profoundness of Chinese culture.
He glanced at the heads of Wang Dongcheng and the other two without leaving a trace.
It was discovered that binding three people required a little over two thousand points each.
As expected, she is currently Taiwan's "top influencer".
Moreover, Lin Mo vaguely remembered that Fahrenheit's rise to prominence lasted until 10.
After a brief introduction, Angie Chai went about her own business.
She had other things to do on set.
Lin Mo did not start filming immediately; his scenes were tentatively scheduled for the afternoon.
The crew had to finish filming the previously scheduled scenes in the morning.
Assistant director Zhang Yumei was a straightforward female director in her forties. She came over with the storyboard to explain the scene to Lin Mo.
She explained in great detail, and Lin Mo listened attentively, nodding from time to time.
He hadn't received any systematic training in acting; he had only glanced at the book "An Actor Prepares" that Zeng Peici had bought, so of course it wasn't very useful.
This is actually not a big problem.
Just look at the young lead actors in "The X-Family" and you'll know.
Wang Dongcheng is a former model, Chen Yi studied Confucian economics, and Yan Yalun is a student of journalism at Chinese Culture University.
For idol dramas, all you need is a good-looking face and the right emotions.
It doesn't matter if you can't pronounce the lines smoothly, because there will be post-production dubbing.
However, Lin Mo had his own ideas.
Since I'm here, even if it's just a one-day guest appearance, I want to do my best.
After counselor Zhang Yumei finished explaining the play, Lin Mo took a moment to process it, instead of just waiting around like the others.
He looked around the set and quickly noticed an elderly man reading a newspaper in the rest area.
Chen Bozheng plays "Grandpa" Xia Liu.
This is a true veteran actor in the Taiwanese entertainment industry. He started acting in 83 and won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor in 85.
Lin Mo ignored everything else, picked up the script, and went over to strike up a conversation.
Ah Gong was reading the newspaper. When Lin Mo politely interrupted him, he pushed up his reading glasses and glanced at him.
Seeing his respectful attitude, outstanding appearance, and the fact that he was personally brought by Chai Zhiping, they had a good impression of Lin Mo.
He gestured for Lin Mo to sit down in a folding chair next to him, took the script from him, glanced at it, and smiled:
"You're the one who played the Flame Messenger with a 1 followed by thirty-odd zeros."
Lin Mo thought to herself, "Are you going to say that you've never seen so many zeros except in Chengdu?"
Fortunately, it's 07 now, and this meme doesn't exist yet.
After making a complaint, Grandpa then seriously analyzed the situation with Lin Mo:
"Acting is about portraying characters."
"You need to put yourself in the character's shoes."
"I believe you are that person, and I believe in the existence of that world."
Grandpa pointed to the script:
"As a flame messenger, you're supposed to be here to destroy the world. So you need to think about why you're here. What does this world look like to you? What do you see those people jumping around in front of you as?"
"Ants? Dust?"
Lin Mo seemed to be deep in thought.
"Don't be intimidated by those cringeworthy settings," Grandpa said with a laugh.
"No matter how exaggerated a character is, at their core they are still human. You have to find their logic and their motivation."
Even if he's just a tool, you still need to give him a reasonable "why".
These words enlightened Lin Mo.
He was only thinking about "how to act cool without laughing".
However, the plausibility of the character itself was overlooked.
"Thank you, Teacher Chen," Lin Mo said sincerely.
Grandpa Chen Bo waved his hand:
"It's good that young people are willing to learn. Relax a bit when you're filming later, don't be too tense."
"Acting is about truly listening, seeing, and feeling. If you can respond to your co-star's reactions, then the performance is on point."
The two chatted for a few more minutes.
Chen Bozheng greatly admired Lin Mo's humility, eagerness to learn, and quick comprehension.
This scene was witnessed by many staff members.
Even Fei Lunhai and his two companions, who were not far away, noticed it.
Chen Yiru said in a low voice, "He's asking his grandfather for advice. He's quite diligent."
Wang Dongcheng nodded: "Not bad, not bad, you're ambitious! I like that!"
Aaron Yan, who had originally intended to offer some praise, became unhappy upon hearing this.
The look in her eyes as she gazed at Wang Dongcheng was somewhat...resentful.
When all the filming was almost finished in the morning, Wang Dongcheng brought Tang Yuzhe, Dongchengwei and others over to rehearse with Lin Mo.
Although there's really nothing good to say about this play.
When they learned that Lin Mo was brought by Angie Chai herself to replace Wu Zun in the original role, they couldn't help but take a few more glances at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo got to know quite a few of the young people in the film crew.
While having lunch, Lin Mo experienced for the first time the different levels of the entertainment industry.
Goodness, even boxed lunches come in different grades.
Extras are the worst, featured extras are a bit better, and the roles are given special treatment.
The film crew's boxed meals were outsourced.
The guy serving the food didn't recognize Lin Mo and thought he was a new extra. He wondered if extras could be this handsome.
But even if he's handsome, he's just an extra, and they gave him an ordinary bento box.
Lin Mo didn't mind; he wasn't picky about food, so he found a corner to sit down and start eating.
Wang Dongcheng brought over a lavish boxed lunch and plopped down next to him:
"Wow, you're only eating this? Come on, I haven't touched it yet, let me share some chicken legs with you."
Lin Mo stopped him, saying it wasn't necessary.
"Don't be shy with me!" Wang Dongcheng insisted on giving him a chicken leg.
"I have to rehearse this afternoon, so I need to eat a good meal to have the energy to catch my [Ultimate Iron Infinity]."
He made an exaggerated gesture as if he were unleashing a powerful attack.
Lin Mo chuckled:
"Then thank you in advance."
Chen Yiru also came over with his lunchbox and joined the conversation.
Only Aaron Yan, after witnessing Wang Dong serving chicken legs, quietly sat down in a slightly farther spot.
