Chapter 251: Chapter 234 Chatting (4k)

Wu Mu had already activated his skill by now, and he could feel that his entire being was immersed in the emotions from his memories.

But it was not complete immersion; it seemed like he still retained a layer within himself, detached from it somewhat, allowing him to observe his every move and the situation on the scene from a higher perspective.

In this state, his perception seemed even sharper than usual.

For instance, he could tell that Sun Yueqing, who was being troubled by a patron over there, was frowning, yet she still maintained her composure.

He knew it wasn’t that Sun Yueqing’s acting was lacking, but rather that her character was meant to be like this; she wasn’t a naive and pure victim. Having been exposed to darkness from a young age, the minor difficulties she faced now did not cause her much inner turbulence.

Her own image was also somewhat chaotic, and it was precisely because of this that she would later go on to kill two people.

Wu Mu stood at the entrance of the nightclub’s main hall, observing the situation.

On the monitor, everyone was watching him.

At the moment, the camera was showing a close-up of his face, every little detail on his expression displayed under the lens.

If Wu Mu were still the awkward novice actor from before, the crew wouldn’t dare to do this; it would make the problems with his facial expressions all the more obvious.

But now...

Lin Qingyue, who had been looking on with a smile, paused for half a second on the expression in his eyes on the monitor, and let out a light tsk.

Yang Rongfa understood her, laughing, "Wu Mu’s eye acting is really powerful now. When we shoot his scenes, we don’t have to worry about his gaze not matching up or causing issues, we can freely pull in for close-ups of his eyes, and each one just adds extra points."

Eye acting had always been a major challenge in acting; without the right skill level, the more you zoom in on the eyes, the more the emotions seem off.

But Wu Mu’s eye acting was a different story; watching him, it was as if they could truly feel what was happening at that moment through his eyes.

Plus, with his good looks, close-ups like these were definitely a major bonus.

Over in the hall, the argument had reached its climax.

A customer who had been repeatedly rejected by Sun Yueqing was now red-faced with anger. After scattering sheet music all over her, he was outraged to see she still wouldn’t submit. He pulled out his wallet and started slapping her face with stacks of money.

"What’s with the sass, you lowly miss?"

"Is two hundred enough?"

"Five hundred, is that enough?"

"I’ll give you the whole damn lot, will that be enough!?"

The nightclub manager, who had arrived first, tried to hold the man back, forcing a smile, "Bro Hai, Bro Hai, why bother with a miss? It’s a waste to give her the money."

Wu Mu knew that according to the script, this was his cue to enter.

And his body had already moved towards the scene ahead of his thoughts.

"Manager, I can play, let me do it," he called out to the manager.

The manager, trying to intervene, showed a delighted expression and hurriedly beckoned, "Quick, quick, play a piece for Brother Hai! A Flirtatious Consort! Brother Hai, this young fellow will play one for you."

Wu Mu nodded, walked past the arguing crowd, and approached the piano.

Before sitting down to play, he had a moment of eye contact with Sun Yueqing.

He caught her dazed look, surprise, and confusion with just one exchange of glances.

It was much like Liu Lan’s reaction at the time.

Wu Mu muttered internally.

The scene did indeed resemble the "hero saves the beauty" scenario he had been in before.

At that time, at the party, a rich second-generation young master, unaware of Liu Lan’s status and thinking she was just beautiful enough to be conquered, went up and insisted she dance with him.

After being repeatedly and indifferently refused by Liu Lan, he too became furiously embarrassed.

His mentality then was much like it was now for the character.

It wasn’t that he had any particular affection for Liu Lan or Lin Mo; it was just his nature to feel that since Liu Lan was his boss and had been good to him, he couldn’t just stand by and watch in such a situation.

Then, just like now, he stepped forward and told the young master that he would dance in Liu Lan’s place.

Seemingly, his intervention only seemed to anger the man further, who started a scuffle right after he spoke.

Hmm, he would get hit in a moment too...

Wu Mu was already seated in front of the piano, fingers on the keys, beginning to play for Sun Yueqing.

"Ding, ding, dong, ding..."

Lin Qingyue looked at the image on the monitor, listening to the piano music coming to her ears, and after a moment of shock, she burst out laughing, "Ha-ha, with him playing like that, you guys still have him playing hero? Isn’t that deliberately infuriating people?"

Yes, Wu Mu was playing terribly, just like his actual skill level, hesitating, as if torturing the ears.

Yang Rongfa couldn’t help but grin, "The script wasn’t like this originally; it didn’t have this bit with him playing the piano. It was initially set that he would just straightforwardly protect Lin Mo, but Wu Mu said that was a bit dull, not interesting enough, so he changed it to this."

Wu Mu changed it?

Lin Qingyue was taken aback and nodded with amusement, "Indeed, quite interesting."

It was not only interesting, but this little twist, as opposed to directly intervening, also fostered more goodwill on both sides.

Directly playing the hero could perhaps only garner gratitude, but with such a small reversal, there was a sense of, "He’s on my side and deliberately helping me provoke someone."

This could somewhat be seen from Sun Yueqing’s expression.

It was an outright provocation, exacerbating the conflict, indeed asking for a beating.
