Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Missing a Character for the Movie?

However...

Wang Xiaotian was still slightly hesitant, "Charging people for taking a photo together doesn’t seem very good for our image, right?"

Wu Mu had a solution, "Then just implement a tiered pricing strategy. Normal phototaking is free, but if someone is willing to sponsor the cost of five euros to go up for a visit, then you guys pose for the photo, or everyone could surround the person in the middle for a prime spot in the picture. Just be more sincere when you ask, and that way it won’t look bad."

Truly deserving of the title ’the person with the most tricks up his sleeve’, he could come up with a bunch of ideas just like that!

Wang Xiaotian nodded in satisfaction, he really asked the right person.

Lin Qingyue, who was listening to their loud conspiracy on the side, had a bit of a laugh on her face, "Hey, you’re still taking advantage of your identity to make money."

Wang Xiaotian spoke righteously, "Director Lin, I think the labor we put in is definitely worth five euros!"

Lin Qingyue laughed and said, "Just use it this one time, okay?"

If they were to pull this stunt at every tourist attraction, then what difficulty would there be left in the obstacles the show set up?

"Alright!" Wang Xiaotian didn’t give a damn, anyway, after today he wouldn’t be the team leader anymore, and it would be better not to use this method.

Now armed with a brilliant plan, Wang Xiaotian immediately wanted to drag Wu Mu to go make money, "Let’s go, let’s go make money taking photos."

But Wu Mu strangely looked at him, "What do you mean ’us’? It’s ’you guys’. I’m not planning to charge for photos."

Huh?

Wang Xiaotian looked at him dumbfounded.

Lu Yao and Yu Ke, who had been listening on the side, were also puzzled.

Wu Mu acted as if it was the most natural thing in the world, "Charging people to take a photo together, what does that make us look like, chives cutter?"

Wang Xiaotian: "???"

Lu Yao: "...."

What the hell are you talking about!

It’s you, who cuts chives the hardest!

Now you’re pretending to have some dignity!!

If it weren’t for the fact that this guy just offered him a brilliant strategy, he would punch him right now.

Wang Xiaotian glared at him with an unfriendly look, "If you don’t help out, I’m not buying your ticket."

But Wu Mu simply waved his hand magnanimously, "No need to buy me one, I have other ways to go up."

Wang Xiaotian was still wondering what other methods Wu Mu had when,

he saw Wu Mu approach a tourist holding a cellphone, "Are you live streaming? Need me to be your tour guide? I’m very familiar with the Eiffel Tower and can give you an introduction. The fee is just the cost of a ticket to go up."

As a world-famous tourist attraction, the Eiffel Tower naturally attracted not just ordinary tourists, but also various internet broadcasters.

What Wu Mu found was one such live streamer.

Buying a ticket for such a handsome tour guide?

That would be too much of a bargain. Not just a bargain, but it would also max out the show’s effect.

The person approached didn’t hesitate much and nodded in agreement.

Watching this unfold, Wang Xiaotian was at a loss for words.

This damn guy!

Indeed, he could think of any possible method!

He thought Wu Mu was just selling his looks, but Wu Mu wasn’t entirely doing that.

He really was very familiar with the Eiffel Tower.

Paris, as if anyone hadn’t been there.

In his past life, he almost went to the Cologne Game Show every year and then took the chance to visit various European countries afterward.

He had been to Paris several times and had even considered making a game themed around the wonders of different countries, so he really did remember a lot of details about the Eiffel Tower.

Actually, scaling the tower wasn’t all that great; queuing for almost an hour before finally being able to buy a ticket to enter.

After getting in, you climb stairs for ages to the second floor, then take an elevator to the third floor, just to see the high-up views.

The significance of checking it off your list far exceeded the actual enjoyment of the experience.

The show’s guests spent the whole morning checking in at the Eiffel Tower, planning to head back for lunch and then go out to make money and check in at another site in the afternoon.

But just as they descended from the Eiffel Tower, they didn’t even need to go out to earn money, as an opportunity to make money came knocking on their door.

...

Sha Wei’er, flustered, ran out of the film set and planned to drive to a nearby film school to cast actors.

He was the assistant director of the movie "Love on the Seine," and had just been scolded by the Director and sent out.

The reason was that an extra he had selected didn’t meet the Director’s requirements.

An actor who seemed quite right during casting, when it came to the actual performance, just felt off, no matter how they filmed, resulting in the Director calling "cut" time and again.

Then there was no other choice but to replace the actor.

But where could he find someone at the last minute?

It’s not like they could just pick anyone; they needed an actor for a role that carries a melancholic depth with a sense of story, right?

He couldn’t think of where to find such a role at a moment’s notice, and moreover, they needed to shoot this person’s scenes soon.

Sha Wei’er was so anxious that he began to sweat.

Driving with discomfort, his eyes involuntarily caught a glimpse of several people on the roadside through the car window.

Hey, the person in the middle looks quite handsome.

He thought to himself, slightly surprised.

Certainly fits the profile for a film.

He subconsciously compared him with the character he had in mind.

Hmm, not at all what he needed; though handsome, he was an East Asian, which was not right, and he lacked that so-called melancholic depth with a sense of story.

Not only did he not have it, but it was the complete opposite.

At first glance, he appeared too enthusiastic, carrying an air of a relaxed person without a care in the world.

He continued to drive forward.

But as he drove, he suddenly made a U-turn.

He floored the gas pedal, pulled up beside that group of people, then braked hard and leaned out, anxiously shouting to the man in the middle, "Can you make a face without smiling?"

He spoke instinctively in French.

Upon seeing the puzzled expressions of the people in front of him, he immediately realized they didn’t understand French.

He hurriedly repeated it in English.

What is this nonsense?

Some guy suddenly comes out and asks me to make a face without smiling?

Wu Mu was completely baffled, as were Wang Xiaotian and the others beside him.

The person in front of Wu Mu was naturally Sha Wei’er.

Sha Wei’er realized he was too hasty and made an effort to explain, "I am making a movie, and we’re missing a role like you. Can you show me that kind of expression?"

Making a movie?

Wu Mu and the others instinctively glanced towards Lin Qingyue, who was hidden away filming; was this arranged by the crew?

But Lin Qingyue also wore a clearly puzzled look.

Wu Mu pondered, then answered the man who had suddenly appeared, "Sure."

He made a non-smiling face.

Sha Wei’er directed, "Purse your lips, lower your eyelids a bit, don’t open your eyes all the way, and look down to the left."

Wu Mu did exactly as instructed.

Sss!

Sha Wei’er drew in a breath of cold air.

The character with a melancholic depth and a sense of story had appeared!

When this person doesn’t smile and the light in his eyes is hidden, he perfectly fits the feeling they wanted for the film.

He quickly asked with excitement, "Friend, do you want to be in a movie?"
