Chapter 252: Chapter 234 Chat (4k)_2

Originally, everyone, including the nightclub manager, Customer Hai, and even Sun Yueqing, thought he truly knew how to play. They were all astounded and stared at him in disbelief.

After the initial shock, Customer Hai was completely enraged and charged up to hit him.

At that point, Sun Yueqing, who had previously been helped, now became the one trying to break up the fight.

While she stood in front of Wu Mu, a slight smile played at the corners of her mouth.

Wu Mu inevitably got punched a few times, ending up with a bruised face.

Then, the scene continued backstage with Sun Yueqing applying medicine to him.

This was another scene meant to heighten the mutual fondness, where, naturally, some physical contact occurred during the process of applying the medicine.

Lin Qingyue watched through the monitor as Sun Yueqing carefully wiped the medicine on Wu Mu, their eyes touching with careful gestures, her face still wearing a smile, seemingly unaffected.

"Cut!"

"Very good! That’s a wrap!"

With Wang Ren yelling cut, Wu Mu’s scenes for the day were completed.

Sun Yueqing, who had been applying the medicine and making eye contact with Wu Mu, quickly put down the topical oil, her expression one of relief.

Wu Mu, pretending not to notice her subtle movements, smiled and said, "So, how was it? The shooting went well, right?"

Sun Yueqing nodded and sighed, "Teacher Wu Mu, I didn’t expect to start seeing you in a new light. Those moments of eye contact we just had, I could hardly believe that was you from ’Starry Sky Lovers.’ If you had acted like that in ’Starry Sky Lovers,’ I wouldn’t have been criticized so harshly."

Wu Mu let out a sound of acknowledgment, "Can’t get past that, huh?"

Sun Yueqing gave a playful chuckle, then looked somewhat suspicious, "Your acting just now was indeed flawless but... am I mistaken? When making eye contact, I felt like you weren’t really looking at me but at someone else?"

Ah?

Wu Mu felt slightly guilty, "Not at all? You must be mistaken."

Everyone is so perceptive, huh.

Wu Mu mused internally because he was using the memories from his previous interactions with Liu Lan; naturally, his performance might drift towards those memories of her.

Thinking about it, that incident really was the start of his relationship with Liu Lan.

It was indeed because he helped Liu Lan that time and caught her attention, subsequently leading to everything that followed, culminating in him tragically taking his own life.

... It indeed matched up with the drama, where his character’s storyline, starting with helping Lin Mo in this scene, leads to their relationship and ultimately his character drowning.

In a way, this drama paralleled many aspects of his own experiences.

Sun Yueqing still looked doubtful, gave him another look but, having no proof, let it go.

Wu Mu had finished his scenes for the day but, Sun Yueqing, the female lead with much heavier scenes, still had shooting to do. She went to change and get makeup for her next scenes.

Wu Mu went back to the resting area.

Lin Qingyue came over, smiling at him, "I really didn’t expect this, you’ve become so impressive in acting."

Wu Mu responded modestly, "It’s okay."

Speaking of acting, he recalled something.

"Director Lin, if you didn’t expect my acting to improve, why did you think of casting me as the lead in your new movie? Doesn’t a film demand even higher acting skills?" Wu Mu asked, puzzled.

Especially since Lin Qingyue’s new arthouse film was aimed at winning awards.

The requirements must be far higher than for current television dramas.

Why would Lin Qingyue have thought of inviting him, who was known for poor acting, to be the star?

Lin Qingyue shook her head, "My movie doesn’t need you to have acting skills."

Huh?

It doesn’t require acting skills?

What does that mean?

Wu Mu looked at Lin Qingyue curiously.

Lin Qingyue teased, "You’ll know when we start shooting, it’s too early to tell now."

The two continued their chat, returning to the topic of Wu Mu’s performance today.

"Did you use method acting in today’s performance?" Lin Qingyue inquired.

Wu Mu considered, "Kind of."

In the acting schools, the Method, the Stanislavski, and the Experimental are well-trodden paths, widely known.

His predecessor, albeit poor at acting, had indeed put in great effort to learn, so he was well-versed in these theoretical concepts.

His approach of replacing the current scene and emotions with those from his memories was indeed as purely Method as it gets.

Lin Qingyue smiled wryly, "So what emotion were you replacing with the just now emotion before?"

Hmm?

Wu Mu vaguely said, "Many scenes, I guess, without any fixed context."

Lin Qingyue laughed, staring at him for several seconds, then, without pursuing the matter further, she pondered for a moment before asking, "Does your play have any kissing scenes?"

"No," Wu Mu shook his head.

Indeed, his drama did not include kissing scenes, nor scenes too intimate, probably just up to some hand-holding actions.

Mainly because the era doesn’t allow it, after all, the story takes place in the nineties of the last century, it wasn’t as open as it is now.

And the character he played died too quickly to really do anything significant.

Lin Qingyue gave an "Oh", "That’s too bad, I was hoping you could get used to it in advance."

You’d better really find it a pity...

Wu Mu muttered in his mind.

Lin Qingyue looked at him, smiling, "If you want to continue on the path of an actor, you’ll probably have to deal with such scenes in the future."

Normally speaking, that’s indeed the case, especially with Wu Mu’s looks, he’s extremely suitable for filming kissing scenes, a bit too intimate.

"When you have a girlfriend, she’ll probably have opinions about this, Mo Mo wouldn’t be able to accept it, right?"

Mo Mo?

Definitely not!

She’s even troubled by things that have happened before, how could she tolerate such things after actually being together.

Wu Mu chuckled inwardly.

But, this kind of thing, Mo Mo doesn’t need to say.

He thought for a while and then said, "If I have a girlfriend, I won’t take kissing scenes."

Hmm?

Lin Qingyue looked at him in surprise.

Wu Mu smiled, "It’s out of respect for the other half, asking myself, I also couldn’t tolerate my other half filming kissing and intimate scenes, I can’t accept it myself and still hypocritically expect my girlfriend to accept it."

Lin Qingyue looked at him for several seconds, her smile teasing, "Then you’ll lose a lot of opportunities, kissing and intimate scenes are quite common."

Wu Mu didn’t mind, "Let the director change the script, or shoot it differently."

Lin Qingyue shook her head, "Some directors may change it, others won’t, like Wang Ren, if you were acting in his ’Qing’, and you said no to kissing scenes, he would just replace you."

Lin Qingyue was referring to Wang Ren who was still shooting a film nearby.

Wu Mu clicked his tongue, joking, "If I don’t shoot kissing scenes, Director Lin you wouldn’t replace me, would you?"

Lin Qingyue laughed helplessly, "If you really couldn’t accept it, I could remove it, but without that kissing scene, I’d need to use a lot more shots to express the emotions that a single kiss could convey, which would slow down the pace."

"Then I’ll try not to have a girlfriend before I shoot your movies."

Wu Mu still didn’t care much.

Being an actor was just one of his ways to earn points after all.

If it really affected things he truly cared about, then he just wouldn’t do it.

And if he really wanted to earn acting points, he could start his own project, be a major investor, then he could change the script however he wanted.

Hearing this, if it were someone else, Lin Qingyue would think it was just talk.

But for Wu Mu, she believed he would do as he said.

She looked at Wu Mu, her sigh carrying a smile, "If only my parents could be as open-minded as you, they wouldn’t have reached this point."

Hmm?

Wu Mu was slightly taken aback.

"My mom is an actress, and she has argued with my dad about this countless times."

Lin Qingyue’s mother, Wu Mu knew, was Du Lan, a veteran movie queen from Blue Star Hua Country, having portrayed numerous classic characters.

But he didn’t know that Lin Qingyue’s parents still had conflicts behind the scenes regarding this.

But it seemed normal when he thought about it.

Being actors and clashing with a partner over intimate scenes is quite usual.

Despite how indifferent it may seem when those actor couples talk about their partners’ intimate scenes,

from a human perspective, it’s impossible for anyone not to care about such things unless they genuinely don’t care about that person at all, otherwise, the deeper the feelings they have for the person, the more they would care about such types of scenes.
