The Fleeting Years of Chinese Entertainment

"Card!"

Lin Mo was stuck again.

In the movie "Your Name", most of the female lead's scenes take place in a small mountain village, while the male lead, Lin Mo, doesn't have many scenes there.

Therefore, Lin Mo, who wanted to give himself a transition period in advance, also placed the initial filming location of the crew in a small mountain village in Hebei.

But to his surprise, he couldn't make the transition well.

"Junior, you need to relax. I think your problem isn't your acting skills, but your mindset," said a senior from the Beijing Film Academy's directing department, whom Lin Mo had asked to help.

Lin Mo was naturally aware of his problem, but he always felt that he lacked confidence.

As the saying goes, if you pretend to be a pig for too long... you might actually turn into a pig.

The meanings are different, but they are quite suitable for Lin Mo.

With only average acting skills to begin with, and most of the actors he worked with in the early stages being far superior to him in acting, Lin Mo now has an extreme lack of confidence in his acting abilities.

The senior student Lin Mo invited was of decent character; at least he didn't add fuel to the fire when Lin Mo was being criticized by outsiders, otherwise Lin Mo wouldn't have chosen him to help.

"And junior, if you want to act well in this movie, besides adjusting your mindset, the only way is to find a way to get into character."

After all, your acting skills are only average, so method acting is a bit difficult for you. You need to start from yourself, immerse yourself in the character's emotions and situation, and truly experience the character's inner world. This is the method acting style that suits you best right now.

Faced with his senior's earnest guidance, Lin Mo knew that he was doing it for his own good.

But how is he supposed to experience things? Does he have to genuinely fall in love with Liu Yifei first?

Regardless of whether he's happy about it or not, if Liu's mother finds out about this, she'll probably slap him on the spot!

"You beast! How old is Sisi? How could you even lay a hand on her?"

Lin Mo shook his head, dismissing the unrealistic idea.

"Take a half-hour break..."

Lin Mo gave the entire crew a break, but actually it was mainly for his own break.

"Linzi, what's wrong? Filming has only just started! Why are you taking a break already? Do you have too much money to burn?"

Zhu Yawen, who was almost a best friend of Lin Mo, went directly to him after Lin Mo announced his break.

"My senior said I'm having mental issues right now, and I need to adjust my mindset."

Lin Mo was still thinking about what his senior had just told him.

To be honest, Lin Mo is in a real dilemma right now. He has never been in a relationship in both his past and present lives, and now he is suddenly told that he has to have a relationship before he can act well. You can imagine how much he feels like he's been screwed over.

In his past life, he was introduced to a potential partner by his parents, and before a week had passed, they were already married and living together. He had no dating experience whatsoever, and there was even the risk of being slapped.

"How about... I try with Jing Tian?" Lin Mo suddenly murmured.

After all, in Lin Mo's previous life, the news of this girl being cheated out of both money and people had caused quite a stir. So choosing this slightly love-struck silly girl to have a relationship might be simpler... at least there would be no risk of being slapped by Liu's mother.

"What did you say?" Zhu Yawen, who was standing nearby, tilted her ear and said, "Lin Zi, speak louder! Or what?"

Lin Mo's expression froze for a moment. "Uh... it's nothing. I was just saying how about giving the crew a day off so I can go out for a stroll and relax."

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Zhu Yawen immediately glanced at the producer sent by China Film Group.

"Linzi, are you serious...? We've only been filming for a short while, and you're already thinking about giving the crew a break?"

As Zhu Yawen spoke, she gestured towards the producer of China Film Group, as if to say: There are people watching, you need to be more discreet.

Lin Mo also glanced in the direction Zhu Yawen was pointing her chin.

Perhaps sensing that someone was watching him, the producer looked up and met Lin Mo's gaze, smiled slightly, and then lowered his head to do something else.

During the days that Han Sanping sent him to Lin Mo's film crew, he roughly understood the crew's shooting plan, and the biggest difficulty... seemed to lie with Lin Mo.

However, before he came, Han Sanping had specifically told him that if he could turn a blind eye to things, he should, and not be too demanding.

He knew that in Han Sanping's heart, Lin Mo's value exceeded the 20 million yuan investment, so he was happy to be a hands-off manager.

As for why it's over 20 million...

That's because Lin Mo's previous film's revenue sharing hadn't been finalized yet, so the money he was short was advanced by China Film Group.

"Hehe... President Han really seems to value this little guy quite a bit!"

Lin Mo was also a little embarrassed at this moment. Because the producer of China Film Group had given too much free rein, he had almost forgotten that there was someone in the crew to keep watch.

……

"Brother Zhang, I've been feeling a bit unsettled lately, so I'd like to adjust the filming schedule. How about giving the crew a day off?"

After thinking it over, Lin Mo decided that he needed to go out for a walk, otherwise he wouldn't be able to calm down if he stayed on set all the time.

"Hehe... You're the director, you make the decisions. You don't need to consult me ​​about such trivial matters."

The producer sent by China Film Group, Zhang, was very generous, which relieved Lin Mo of any worries.

So after telling the crew that he would be taking a day off, Lin Mo left the set alone, without even letting Zhu Yawen follow him.

After leaving the film crew, Lin Mo strolled along the country lanes outside the mountain village. The lush greenery and the sound of flowing water made him feel incredibly relaxed and peaceful, far from the hustle and bustle of the city.

"It actually works a little..."

Lin Mo didn't think about the upcoming film shoot, nor did he consider the methods or experiential approaches.

He is now in a state of complete relaxation, wanting to truly immerse himself in nature.

On the other side, Liu Yifei, who was preparing to watch Lin Mo's performance today to see if he could make any progress, was currently in the tent used by the crew for resting, puffing out her cheeks and grumbling.

"That stinky Lin Mo, he suddenly gave the crew a day off, and who knows where he's gone? He's not answering his phone or replying to messages. Could he be devastated by this?"

At this moment, Liu Yifei suddenly felt a little regretful. Although she knew that Lin Mo's acting skills were average, she did not expect them to be this average.
