Chapter 257: Chapter 238 The Scenes Are Almost Completed

Sun Yueqing once again heard footsteps near her, and the familiar voice of Wu Mu.

"Hold it together!"

"Hold it together!"

"I absolutely can’t lose my composure just because of one look again!"

Sun Yueqing chanted to herself, maintaining a slightly cooler expression, and turned her head again to look at the person beside her.

And then...

She really found it hard to resist!

This damned man was already dazzling to look at, and now he was showing a look filled with concerns and sorrows just for her... Who could withstand that!

The moment she was slightly distracted for half a second revealed to Sun Yueqing that she had made a mistake in her performance.

But the director, for some reason, did not call cut?

Cut?

Of course not!

"Sun Yueqing handled that well," praised Yang Rongfa.

Wang Ren nodded, "That look revealed all of Lin Mo’s thoughts."

Reason told her she was not suitable for Wang Chuan, and she wanted to push him away, but these little movements in her heart and eyes betrayed her thoughts.

Since the director didn’t call cut, she had to keep acting.

Sun Yueqing maintained her cold demeanor, "What do you want to tell me? Go ahead."

Wu Mu didn’t plan on saying anything. He had no extra lines to add, and if he were to speak without sufficient emotion, wouldn’t it be cut immediately?

He turned his head, also looking towards the river beneath the bridge, the spot where Sun Yueqing had been gazing, and asked, "Can you swim?"

Sun Yueqing was startled, seemingly slow to grasp the sudden change in topic, and after hesitating, shook her head, "No."

"I can’t swim either," Wu Mu said, still looking at the river.

Then after a pause, he turned his head again to look at Sun Yueqing, "But if you fall in, I will definitely jump in after you to save you."

Sun Yueqing’s heart skipped a beat, unable to tell if it was from locking eyes with this man again, or if it was his words striking a chord with her longstanding thoughts.

She felt as if she truly understood the emotions Lin Mo would have in the script.

Instead of pondering whether the shot was good, her gaze shifted away instinctively, feigning ignorance, "What do you mean?"

Wu Mu looked at her and opened up, "If you jump, I’ll jump too."

If you jump down, I’ll follow you down.

There couldn’t be a more sincere confession than this.

But she had come here to reject him today.

Merely shifting her gaze slightly was already insufficient to maintain her earlier decision; Sun Yueqing chose to flee.

"Boring. Is that all you have to say? I have other things to do, I’m leaving first."

She turned to leave.

She had turned her body away, but her attention was still on what was behind her.

However, behind her, everything seemed eerily quiet.

Having walked several steps away, she couldn’t help but glance back with a fleeting look.

Then she saw a figure who had climbed over the bridge’s handrail and was standing on the edge, wearing a smile as if he had expected her to look back involuntarily.

But at that moment, Sun Yueqing’s face turned pale, "What are you doing?"

Wu Mu with one hand on the railing, his smile gradually stopped, his expression serious, "I’m serious, as long as you jump in, I’ll definitely jump in after you to save you."

"Get up here!" Sun Yueqing took two steps forward.

"Just promise me you’ll never jump," said Wu Mu, who had become emotionally involved while exchanging lines with Sun Yueqing, people are influenced by one another after all.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about." To promise that was to expose the wounds at the bottom of her heart completely in front of this man, which was precisely what she least wanted him to see.

She wanted to move forward and pull him back.

But as she was about to move forward, Wu Mu, seeing that he could not change her mind with words, glanced at her before releasing his hand and leaned backwards.

Sun Yueqing’s eyes met with Wu Mu’s as he leaned back, causing her mind to buzz instantly.

Her heart, already thumping wildly, pounded violently, making the scene before her eyes darken, and she felt a nauseating sensation.

She envisioned Wu Mu falling into the water, shaking all over, pale as a ghost.

"Wu Mu!"

She rushed to the edge of the bridge.

Ah?

Wu Mu?

No, sister, you’ve called the wrong name!

Yang Rongfa and Wang Ren, who had been nodding in satisfaction with the performance, were rendered speechless in an instant.

What had been an impeccably acted scene now ended with such a low-level mistake.

Sun Yueqing, still unaware of her mistake, clung to the railing, looking down beneath the bridge.

Of course, there was no danger under the bridge.

The lifeguards waiting below had rescued Wu Mu the moment he fell.

Although the plot was continuous, it was not possible to film it in one take.

The shot of Wu Mu falling from the bridge was taken first, then the shot shifted to below the bridge to capture Wu Mu struggling to come up from the water.

After calling cut to end the filming, Yang Rongfa and Wang Ren were the first to ask about Wu Mu’s safety through the walkie-talkie.

After confirming that Wu Mu was fine, everyone’s worry dissipated.

The assistant director, who had noticed the issue with the previous shot, came up and asked in a low voice, "Director, do we need to reshoot?"

Wang Ren thought for a moment, "Let’s mute it and do a voiceover later."

Reshooting might not yield the same good effect, and since the person had already jumped down, reshooting would be too torturous.

That take was good enough.

The crew hurriedly moved to the bridge underneath.

"Teacher Wu Mu, are you okay?" Yang Rongfa asked the soaking wet Wu Mu, who had just been brought to shore.

Though it was in Chun City, falling into the water at night was still somewhat cold. Plus, Wu Mu had swallowed several mouthfuls of water, which didn’t make him feel any better.

Wrapped in clothes brought by a crew member, he shivered but was still able to smile.

"Did I just hear you call out ’Wu Mu’?" he said to Sun Yueqing.

Sun Yueqing’s face turned slightly red, "It’s easy to call out the wrong name when you’re filming with acquaintances."

Wu Mu chuckled softly and turned to Yang Rongfa, "Let’s continue shooting quickly while I’m still in the right emotion."

Yang Rongfa quickly gestured, "Get ready!"

The team, which had already been preparing downstream, promptly began to film.

Sun Yueqing found a stick on the riverbank and rushed into the water to save Wu Mu, finally locating him in the middle of the river.

She looked at the person trembling in front of her, pale-faced, a mirror image of the one in her recent memory, and said with an ashen face, "Are you crazy?"

Water dripped from Wu Mu’s hair as he shivered, yet he hadn’t forgotten the earlier event, "I’m serious."

He had proved with his actions that he wasn’t joking.

Seeing Wu Mu so close and hearing these words, Sun Yueqing felt that her previous steadfastness had completely vanished, "You don’t have to do this, how can you be so irresponsible with yourself!?"

Wu Mu appeared smug with a smile, if one could overlook his pale face and disheveled appearance.

"I won’t die. I know this place well, it’s the dry season now, and the water is shallow."

Despite sounding somewhat cunning, Sun Yueqing knew this didn’t affect the strength of Wu Mu’s previous promises.

He would definitely come to save her after her jump.

"Don’t ever do something like this again!"

After getting out of the water, the two took a temporary rest and warmed up in front of a small abandoned hut by the river.

After some conversation, it was finally time for the main scene.

"I met your great-uncle yesterday, and he said I wasn’t good enough for you."

Wu Mu looked at Sun Yueqing sitting close to him and smiled.

Sun Yueqing’s expression changed slightly at the mention of her great-uncle’s name from Wu Mu’s mouth, but soon she didn’t have time to focus on that.

"I like you."

Sun Yueqing raised her head, locking eyes with Wu Mu. She pursed her lips slightly and didn’t speak, still not giving a clear answer.

But, sitting close to Wu Mu, she moved a little closer.

"Cut!"

"Good, that’s a wrap!"

"Thank you for your hard work, both of you."

They had finally completed this shot.

Wu Mu laughed heartily at Sun Yueqing, "How about that, Teacher Sun Yueqing, was it packed?"

"Teacher Sun Yueqing?"

What kind of nickname was this?

Sun Yueqing wondered to herself.

But raising her head to see Wu Mu’s smiling face, she couldn’t help but smile as well, "Impressive, Teacher Wu Mu, you’ve really earned my respect."

With that main scene finished, it was time to shoot another.

The next scene didn’t require any water shots; it was just a conversation between two people on the bridge.

According to Wang Ren, this scene would be shown at the very end of the series, revealing the reason behind Wang Chuan’s death and lifting the last burden off the protagonist Wang An.

This scene depicted Lin Mo after killing two people and cutting off her finger to mix in with the body parts, with the plan to flee with Wang Chuan, who she now regarded as the most important person in her life.

But Wang Chuan hesitated because of the existence of his parents.

He loved Lin Mo, but also loved his family, and he didn’t know how to choose for a moment.

Then Lin Mo realized the difference between her and Wang Chuan. Wang Chuan had a happy family unlike her, who had nothing but the person in front of her.

Choosing to let go, she stopped insisting that Wang Chuan flee with her. Instead, she distracted him and, in utter despair, chose to jump into the river to commit suicide.

Wang Chuan, turning back and seeing this scene, fulfilled his promise and jumped in to save her.

By then, the river was no longer in its dry period.

In the end, Wang Chuan died, but Lin Mo survived.

This scene also posed challenges, but since the emotions from before hadn’t completely dissipated, Wu Mu was able to shoot it smoothly and quickly.

With that scene finished, most of his important parts in this series were almost entirely done.

What remained were just some minor, unimportant shots.

Which could be finished in a few days.

His first drama since coming to this world was also nearly finished.

Next would be the release of the album first, then waiting for the series production to be completed, finding a platform to buy the series, and the official airing of the series.
