After seven years of being out of the spotlight, millions of fans are waiting for my return!

While everyone was under pressure and stood still, not daring to move, Lin Mo had already begun today's filming.

Today's filming is of him and the male lead's scenes together.

Although it was only a scene with another actor, Lin Mo played the role of an emperor.

In this scene, he couldn't overshadow the male lead, nor could he lose his imperial status.

This scene was a real test of his acting skills; if he hadn't handled it well, it would have pulled the audience out of the story.

However, for Lin Mo, this scene was just something he could easily do.

The most successful aspect of an actor's performance is restraint.

He already had a plan in mind last night when he was reviewing the script.

Looking at the male lead opposite him, who sat high on the bronze platform, his eyes showed appreciation for the other party, yet also exuded imperial majesty.

Everything was handled perfectly.

At this moment, Director Zhang, who was standing to the side, could hardly hide the smile on his face.

If they weren't still filming, he probably would have burst out laughing long ago.

He was glad he made a very wise decision yesterday to add that scene.

He even dared to guarantee that Lin Mo's scene would be included in film school textbooks.

Whether it's the attention to detail or the nuanced portrayal of characters' identities and status, everything is just right.

"How about it, Old Chen? This kid's not bad, is he?"

Director Zhang laughed as he couldn't help but boast to Director Chen beside him.

"If he hadn't been in the show, I wouldn't have added this scene at all. Looking at it today, I know I made the right decision."

"This scene is the most difficult in the entire script; I'm afraid there are very few people in the entire Great Xia who can perform it well."

After a while, seeing that Director Chen was not speaking, he subconsciously looked at him.

Director Chen was already sitting in a chair, with beads of sweat the size of soybeans on his forehead.

Seeing Director Zhang looking at him, he hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained somewhat guiltily,

"My high blood pressure flared up just now. But you're right, that kid's acting is really superb."

"I've been in this industry for decades and I've never seen such a talent monster."

At this point, Director Chen couldn't help but stand up, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Given his acting skills, the operatic singing style is just icing on the cake."

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang, who was standing to the side, looked surprised.

Director Chen is known in the Chinese film industry for being extremely picky. The reason he hasn't decided on a male lead yet is because he doesn't want to settle for less.

If he nods, a whole bunch of actors are waiting for him to choose.

But the other party just happened to disagree with the opera-style singing.

I searched through almost every actor in the Great Xia Dynasty, but couldn't find He Yi. Now he's suddenly changed his tune.

Director Zhang couldn't help but laugh.

"Old Chen, if those people find out you suddenly stopped asking for opera singing, they'll gossip about you behind your back."

Upon hearing this, Director Chen showed no remorse whatsoever; instead, he appeared quite smug.

"A living person can't be killed by holding in their pee. If you can't sing in the opera style, you can just dub it in post-production."

"Besides, it's not like we're not giving them a chance. They just need this kid's acting skills to be good before I'll even consider it."

"As a director, all I want to do is pick a good actor. Why would I be afraid of people gossiping?"

"If their acting skills were this good, I could make an exception."

Director Chen's words completely convinced Director Zhang.

The reason he decided to add more scenes for the other person yesterday was because he appreciated the other person's acting skills.

If the other person's acting skills are not up to par, they won't be given extra scenes.

Even he asked himself honestly, if he were Director Chen, he would have made the same decision.

For a director, the script determines the lower limit of box office revenue, while the actors can determine the upper limit of the script.

A good actor can sometimes carry an entire show.

Conversely, even the best script is completely ruined if it doesn't have a good actor.

Moreover, Director Chen has a good script in his hands.

"Old Chen, I think you..."

Director Zhang had just finished speaking when he suddenly stopped, staring in disbelief at the scene before him.

Suddenly, Director Chen, who had been standing next to him, found himself squeezed into a group of people and surrounding Lin Mo.

They surrounded Lin Mo and explained their purpose for coming.

"Xiao Lin, you have a great presence and excellent acting skills. I have an idol drama here that would be perfect for you."

"The female lead in my new drama is Dilraba. With her in the cast, this drama is sure to be a huge hit."

"Come here, come here, come to my film crew. This time I'm filming a period drama, all with talented actors, I guarantee it will be a huge hit."

"I have a serious drama series here. I guarantee that after you star in it, you'll get a lot of serious drama series opportunities in the future."

"What are serious dramas and idol dramas? I have a 300 million production here, and I can even cast you as the male lead."

"..."

As they talked, they suddenly started arguing, none of them wanting to see Lin Mo join someone else's film crew.

"What idol drama? The plots are all mass-produced. Who would want to watch it except for fans?"

"How dare you complain about idol dramas and period dramas? They're all about family matters all the time. We're already under so much pressure at work, and after get off work we still have to watch mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law fighting each other. It's not as good as a serious drama."

"Where is my serious drama inferior to yours? My audience may be older than you, but they are more capable and smarter. Your dramas basically don't require any intelligence to watch."

"That's right. My 300 million big production is much better than those small-budget productions. The styling and post-production alone can bring a visual enjoyment to the audience."

"What 300 million big-budget production? Do they really think making money from capital is easy? Who are they trying to fool? Only a fool would believe that!"

"..."

Just as these people were arguing fiercely, a voice rang out behind them.

"Xiao Lin, I'm Director Chen. I'd like to invite you to play the male lead in my new drama."

Director Chen's words made everyone subconsciously stop arguing and look at him.

We got so carried away with the argument that we almost let someone else take advantage of the situation!

They dared to compete for Lin Mo right in front of Director Chen and Director Zhang, so they had no intention of giving this opportunity to the other party.

Seeing that Director Chen had deliberately thrown out the male lead, they immediately felt a little uncomfortable.

In terms of fame, they are far inferior to Director Chen; his status in the Daxia film and television industry is so high that even all of them combined cannot match it.

In terms of strength, they are far inferior to their opponents. Even if they were given another twenty years, they could not achieve what their opponents have accomplished in the film and television industry.

Let alone the male lead, even if Director Chen gives out a supporting role now, there would be a lot of people vying to play it.

Now Director Chen has actually offered them the conditions for the male lead role, which is practically humiliating them.

Soon someone objected,

"Director Chen, haven't you always needed an actor who can sing in traditional opera style?"

The other person's words quickly gained the approval of others.

The reason they dared to compete with Director Chen for Lin Mo today is precisely because of this.

If Director Chen had just given the gossip, his new film would have already started shooting.

Director Chen smiled and answered calmly.

"It's okay if you can't sing in the opera style, we can do voice-over dubbing in post-production, these are minor issues!"

Others: "???"

Small, trivial matter?

You've waited almost a year for this role, and now you're saying it's a small matter?!

Post-production dubbing?

Haven't you always looked down on actors who need post-production dubbing?

Now they've actually offered to do post-production dubbing!

Their bottom line is even more flexible than theirs!!!
