Huayu is here for you

"Quick! Photographer, get close to their face!"

Lin Yu, who reacted instantly, quickly gave instructions to the photographer.

The photographer who was filming Miss Liu was clearly a veteran. Before Lin Yu could even finish speaking, his camera was already pointed at Miss Liu.

"Cut! Passed!" After shouting "Cut!", Lin Yu quickly rushed into the "train carriage" and gave the three of them a thumbs up. "Great shot!"

"Hehe... Senior brother, how was it? Was my performance alright?"

Liu Yifei, whose eyes still had a few tear stains, gave Lin Yu a big smile when she saw him come in.

"Great! Absolutely fantastic! I was even planning to reshoot that part where you laughed, but... hehe, you've really given me a wonderful surprise, Miss Liu." Lin Yu said with a face full of joy:

"Of course, Luo Jin, you did well too. I really didn't choose the wrong person." Lin Yu then smiled at Luo Jin and Shu Chang and said, "Changchang, your performance was a bit mediocre. You still need to keep working hard."

"You flatter me, Director Lin. I... am far from good enough," Luo Jin said modestly.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, I will do my best."

"Alright, this is the last dramatic scene for today. I was originally thinking it would take a dozen or so takes, but you guys nailed it in one take, and so beautifully at that. I've decided to give you a reward," Lin Yu said with a smile.

Just as the group was wondering what the reward Lin Yu had mentioned was,

Then Lin Yu picked up his walkie-talkie and said, "That's all for today's scenes. We're done filming. Consider the rest of the time a holiday for you!"

Upon hearing this, everyone on set burst into cheers!

"Thank you, Director Lin!"

"Director Lin, you're so generous!"

"Director Lin..."

Just as everyone was cheering, Lin Yu suddenly remembered something and said somewhat embarrassedly, "By the way, um... Luo Jin, hold off for a bit. Let's film the scene where you beat someone up in the car first. I got a little carried away and blurted something out, but it's okay, I'll carry the camera for you."

Luo Jin: "???"

However, in the end... Lin Yu didn't manage to carry the camera. After all, the photographer wouldn't be so tactless as to actually let Lin Yu carry it while he filmed.

.........

After everyone had packed up and left, Lin Yu took Miss Liu back to their hotel.

"Sissi, were you really scared today, or were you just acting?"

Lin Yu, who had been walking with curiosity all the way, asked the question that had been bothering him as soon as he returned to the hotel with Miss Liu.

Miss Liu smiled slightly at Lin Yu's curious expression:

"you guess?"

"What do you mean, 'guess'? Girl, hurry up and confess!"

Seeing Lin Yu's impatient look, Liu Yifei gave up the idea of ​​teasing him.

"It was a mix of scaring and acting, I guess!"

Lin Yu: "???"

"Hehe...actually, I was a little startled the moment Luo Jin reached out. Although I had prepared beforehand, my reaction at that moment was mostly natural. But apart from that, it was all an act," Miss Liu recalled.

"Including spraying eggs on him?" Lin Yu interjected:

"Pfft... Haha... Yes, I did it on purpose. I just thought the part where I sprayed eggs on Luo Jin was already kind of funny, so I figured I might as well go all the way and make it funny! Hehe..." Miss Liu said, laughing heartily.

"Hehe...I didn't expect that, Miss Liu, you've improved!" Lin Yu patted Miss Liu's head and praised her.

"Of course, all those days I spent learning with Sister Jing weren't for nothing," Miss Liu said with some pride. "But... I didn't expect Luo Jin to act so well?"

Looking at Miss Liu, whose expression was becoming more serious, Lin Yu couldn't help but give Luo Jin a thumbs up in his heart. His performance today was indeed a bit beyond Lin Yu's expectations.

Moreover, Lin Yu had some knowledge of the actor Luo Jin in his previous life. If he hadn't acted in those messy idol dramas and instead seriously studied acting skills, he might have been a movie star long ago.

Idol dramas do indeed lower the bar for acting skills. Many actors who star in idol dramas also misunderstand their own looks, thinking that they really possess the beauty described in the script, and then they start taking on some roles that are hard to describe. Luo Jin is no exception.

Take, for example, Zheyan in the film version of "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms". Putting aside the script, Luo Jin's appearance was really an eyesore.

But Luo Jin wasn't like that in his early days, really.

He still has acting skills and hasn't become obsessed with romantic idol dramas.

Luo Jin's first role in a TV series was that of a farmer named Ali, when he was just a freshman in the acting department of Beijing Film Academy.

After graduation, Luo Jin acted in war dramas, crime dramas, and period dramas. In Gao Xixi's version of "Three Kingdoms", he played Emperor Xian of Han, the last emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Even when acting alongside veteran actors such as Chen Jianbin, he still delivered a stunning performance.

His performances in other major dramas, such as Emperor Hui of Han Liu Ying in "Beauty's Rival in Palace", Yang Zongbao in "Mu Guiying Takes Command", and Wu Haiwen, the pilot who died for his country in "The Eagle Flies Away", were also remarkable.

Besides television dramas, Luo Jin's early career in film also started at a high level.

In Lin Yu's previous life, around 2007, Luo Jin starred in "The Golden Age," directed by Weng Shouming, which was shortlisted for several film festivals, including Busan, Rotterdam, and Vancouver.

In addition, he starred in the 2010 Spanish drama film "Biutiful," in which he played a homosexual man with a "wicked" aura who was ultimately killed by his lover.

Luo Jin once revealed that he was able to get the role because of Ann Lee's favor. Ann Lee had mentioned Luo Jin to the director at the time, and later the film came to him. Being recognized by Ann Lee is enough to demonstrate Luo Jin's acting skills at the time.

This film was later nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Because it was in the main competition, the lead actors of *Biutiful* were automatically nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress. You could say that Luo Jin almost became an international Best Actor.

However, Luo Jin frankly stated at the time that he didn't aspire to be the Cannes Best Actor winner; he was already quite content with learning a lot. Back then, Chinese actresses weren't yet the go-to figures on the Cannes Film Festival's red carpet, and the director was none other than González, who later made films like *Birdman* and *The Revenant*.

In contrast, his contemporaries, such as Zhu Yawen, Lei Jiayin, and Zhou Yiwei, didn't seem to have much to do with romantic idol dramas, either in terms of the scripts they chose or the roles they played. There's nothing wrong with acting in idol dramas, but no one can act in idol dramas forever, and Luo Jin certainly can't either.
