Chapter 226: Chapter 216 Not Like Acting (4k)_2

Wu Mu walked to the edge of the bridge and, seeing the water was not very high below, turned back to Sun Yueqing with a smile and said, "If you jump, I’ll jump too."

Sun Yueqing was startled but quickly realized that Wu Mu was quoting a line from the script.

No, why are you quoting lines now? Who’s in the mood to exchange lines with you!

And your emotional performance isn’t even right, okay? In the script, the character is very serious, not smiling like you are!

Sun Yueqing silently recited her line from the script with an expressionless face, "Boring."

Wu Mu looked at her, still smiling, "Don’t you believe me? I’m serious. If you jump down, I’ll definitely jump down after you to save you."

Sun Yueqing thought sarcastically, still planning to exchange lines with this boring guy.

But before she could speak, Wu Mu in front of her seemed tired of holding onto the railing and made a motion to switch hands.

However...

As he switched hands, it seemed like he didn’t grasp firmly and stumbled, falling backward.

Sun Yueqing’s face turned pale as she saw Wu Mu, who couldn’t hide his panic, and her mind buzzed instantly.

That wasn’t in the script at all; he really fell because he didn’t hold on properly!!

Hurry, go save him!

She turned, pale-faced, intending to shout for help, but then... seeing Shi Wu and others nearby with not much expression on their faces, and the lifeguards, who were already in the water...

She realized this wasn’t just them hanging out privately, there were others around, and... Wu Mu was probably just messing with her.

Damn it!

You bastard, always like to cause trouble even when you’re not on a show!

Usually, your acting skills are as awkward as scratching a foot, but your acting becomes so good when you’re pulling stunts, huh?

Sun Yueqing was furious inside.

Still, she quickly ran to the railing to check on Wu Mu below.

...

Thankfully, just as Wu Mu had expected, it wasn’t dangerous.

After struggling in the water for a while, Wu Mu was pulled out by a lifeguard.

Sun Yueqing looked at Wu Mu in front of her, pale-faced and shivering from the cold, with a trace of shock still evident in his eyes and on his face, and gave him a disparaging look, "Feels good to swallow a bellyful of water, huh? Why bring trouble upon yourself?"

Wu Mu also felt that he had really suffered greatly.

Although he was safe, the bellyful of water he had swallowed was not imaginary, and as someone who couldn’t swim, experiencing such a drowning situation had genuinely scared him.

Having gone through so much, he thought it would be unforgivable if people didn’t praise this scene later.

Sun Yueqing was not convinced he could perform any better after his personal experience, scoffing, "You’ll know how complicated acting is when it’s your turn."

But that might not be certain, as he had a skill, making acting simple.

Wu Mu thought to himself.

Now that he had experienced the situation, he had material to use for his performance.

After changing into dry clothes, he returned to the film set with Sun Yueqing.

Shi Wu also came along; though he didn’t show it on his face, he was quite eager to see the fun when his boss acted later.

Sun Yueqing and Shi Wu both waited to see Wu Mu make a fool of himself later, teaching him that acting was not so simple.

Yang Rongfa and Wang Ren on set had no idea what Wu Mu had just been up to, or they would have certainly been speechless too.

Nevertheless, they were discussing Wu Mu’s scene.

Yang Rongfa suggested to Wang Ren, "Let’s shoot Wu Mu’s scene from behind, don’t show his face, set the camera opposite Cui Fu, mainly capturing Cui Fu’s facial reactions."

Wang Ren thought about it and shook his head, "That won’t be impactful enough and won’t hint at Wang Chuan’s cause of death."

Yang Rongfa frowned, "If you film Wu Mu and he doesn’t perform well, that also won’t be impactful. As for hinting at his cause of death, just wet his hair and change his clothes to wet ones, and shooting from the back will convey the same."

Wang Ren stood firm, "Let him try first, and we’ll see the effect."

Yang Rongfa, with a tight frown, said, "Then let him try a few scenes, and if it doesn’t work, we switch to my plan."

He worried that Wang Ren was falling into his old habit of continuously reshooting a scene, which they couldn’t afford now, not under the current circumstances.

It would be responsible to complete the filming quickly for Wu Mu, the investor.

Wang Ren nodded without a word.

...

Wu Mu’s first scene had everyone quite attentive.

Particularly due to the previous incident of Wu Mu’s improvised acting and Sun Yueqing, everyone was somewhat curious as to how Wu Mu would perform during the official filming.

This scene was also considered the highlight of the day, so when it was time to start filming, many people came over to watch.

With his makeup done, Wu Mu sat drenched across from Cui Fu, while the crew members made their final preparations.

The assistant director was discussing the scene with them, explaining the actions and shots they would need to perform.

Hmm, the instructions were mainly for Wu Mu, detailed down to every move and every shot, the reason being quite obvious.

However, Wu Mu’s scene didn’t actually involve any intense physical action.

In this scene, the protagonist Wang An discovered that the enemy who killed his son Wang Chuan had reappeared. He then intentionally prepared a meal to commemorate his son, vowing to bring justice to his late son. Wu Mu simply had to sit there as an apparition from his imagination.

Wu Mu didn’t need to speak or perform any major actions; he just had to portray the state he was in before his death.

Although this might have been harder as it required the actor to express it through various micro-expressions and subtle movements.

Upon Yang Rongfa’s instruction, the assistant director lowered the difficulty for Wu Mu, "Mr. Wu Mu, you just need to show a terrified expression on your face and then tremble your body, that’s all."

They wanted to use a standardized template so that Wu Mu could just scrape through.

Wu Mu didn’t argue; he was going to prove himself through his performance.

After discussing the scene, the final preparations were quickly completed.

"Scene three, shot nine, take one, action!"

As the clapperboard clapped, the filming officially began.

The camera focused on Wu Mu, and the onlookers also turned their gaze towards him.

Then, upon looking, everyone was slightly startled.

Sitting under the camera, Wu Mu seemed to merely be sitting there, motionless, but they felt as if something about Wu Mu was different than a moment ago?

Was it their imagination?

While they were still puzzled, sitting across from Wu Mu, Cui Fu continued with the planned actions.

He poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and then looked at Wu Mu with a smile.

But the moment he saw Wu Mu, his smile slightly stiffened.

...Something wasn’t right.

The onlookers, standing further away, couldn’t feel it, but he, sitting closer, immediately sensed it.

Wu Mu was indeed different from before.

He appeared motionless, but his body was actually trembling subtly, almost imperceptibly, and upon close observation, these tiny tremors would occasionally intensify.

The trembling was too realistic!

It didn’t look acted at all!

Such nuanced movements, could they really be performed by the previously wooden Wu Mu?

Cui Fu almost gasped out loud due to the surprise in his heart.

Moreover, as his gaze moved upward, he noticed not only was the body trembling, but there was also an inexplicable paleness to the man, pallid complexion, constricted pupils, fear and pain in his eyes, tensed and curled body posture, strained veins and knuckles, and more!

All these details!

All sorts of details that looked frighteningly real!

When his eyes met Wu Mu’s, he even felt a jolt in his heart, an urge to ask if he was okay.

It’s possible to discern the authenticity of something through various subliminal clues and details.

From these subtle physical nuances of Wu Mu, his subconscious was telling him that Wu Mu was in pain, cold, and frightened.

It was too real, so real that he couldn’t figure out how Wu Mu managed to enact so many detailed movements.

He forcefully suppressed his astonishment and continued acting according to the script.

"Son, let’s eat," he said to the hallucination he created. As he spoke, he reached out to grasp Wu Mu’s hand resting on the table.

But the moment he touched Wu Mu’s hand, he couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Are you alright?"

You can act out facial details, but how can you fake the temperature of the body?

This man’s hand was frightfully cold!
