Chapter 132: Director Lin, is this considered a work injury?

The outdoor scenes for the filming of I Am Not a Medicine God are still quite numerous.

This also leads to passersby gathering during filming.

This is the case.

Today we're filming the interaction scenes between Xu Zheng and his son in the drama.

All around are onlookers.

No way.

Lin Mo's new movie is incredibly hot!

Besides, his film is all big stars.

Anyone who sees it finds it familiar.

"Damn, it really is the I Am Not a Medicine God crew!"

"I just saw Chao Ge, goodness, he's even thinner than in the photos!"

"This is my first time seeing a movie set!"

"Me too!"

"Is that Director Lin Mo? He's really young!"

"......"

The passersby were discussing.

Filming a movie.

This situation often occurs.

Lin Mo has already had Assistant Director Wang Cheng go negotiate.

Coincidentally, this scene still needs some extras.

Might as well let these passersby join in and have fun.

So.

Lin Mo then called Wang Cheng over.

Wang Cheng came running over, panting.

"Brother Wang, why are you in such a hurry? Catch your breath." Lin Mo smiled as he watched Wang Cheng come over, out of breath.

"Director Lin, any orders?" Wang Cheng asked straightforwardly after steadying himself.

"Go tell everyone, we still need a few extras for this scene—ask if they'd like to come experience it." Lin Mo said while pointing to the excited passersby around.

Upon hearing that, Wang Cheng immediately nodded like pounding garlic: "Sure thing, Director Lin, I'm on it!"

Chen Yu.

An office worker.

After work, on his way home riding an electric scooter.

He happened to run into a film crew shooting ahead.

Most people, you know.

Like to join in the fun.

Chen Yu was no exception—he parked his electric scooter and walked over.

"Hey, buddy, is that the crew filming over there?" Chen Yu tapped a hipster about his age in front of him.

The hipster turned back, pointing not far away: "There, Xu Zheng, Deng Chao..."

Chen Yu followed his finger and looked over.

Good grief!

He was straight-up shocked!

Xu Zheng, Deng Chao...

Isn't this the recently heavily promoted online I Am Not a Medicine God?

Director Lin Mo's new drama!

Next, Chen Yu looked around and soon spotted Lin Mo!

Hiss..

Director Lin Mo really looks as young as in the videos!

What does that mean?

Lin Mo is only 23 this year—how could he not be young?

"Brother, have you seen Director Lin's Let the Bullets Fly?" Just then, the hipster from earlier turned around and asked him.

"Huh?"

Chen Yu blinked, then said: "Of course I've seen it—damn, I've watched it several times; this film is really awesome!"

"Fellow fan, I've also watched it several times—Director Lin's boldness is huge; I hear this film isn't small in scale either..."

The two were chatting animatedly when a man in a baseball cap walked over, instantly drawing everyone's attention; he cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, Director Lin just said this scene still needs a few extras—anyone interested in giving it a try?"

As soon as he said that, the crowd exploded.

"Me, me, me—I volunteer!"

Chen Yu was still dazed when the hipster he'd been chatting with eagerly jumped up first, waving his hand high.

"Yeah, I want to act too!"

Coming to his senses, Chen Yu quickly raised his hand as well.

Next.

The people around were all extremely excited.

Filming a movie, how fun!

It's actually a big film, Director Lin Mo's movie!

Chen Yu thought, today's luck is also too good!

Soon.

They then got to see up close these stars who usually are active on the big screen.

Of course, they're not mindless fans.

They just thought it was quite novel.

The shoot went smoothly, with everyone cooperating fully.

After it ended, Lin Mo walked over, smiling, and said to everyone: "Thanks for everyone's help today..."

Although he is now well-known.

But in front of the crowd, he still needs to maintain a proper attitude.

So as not to ruin his reputation.

Not long after.

Some videos appeared on Douyin.

That's right, it's the earlier street filming of "I Am Not a Medicine God".

"Where is this?"

"It's Mo Du!"

"So many people watching..."

"Lucky me, I just played an extra in Director Lin's film!"

"Holy crap, isn't this near my place? How come I didn't know?"

"Director Lin even thanked us, he's such a nice person!"

"You didn't see it, but Chao Ge lost weight in an exaggerated way!"

Below, the comment section had all kinds of discussion.

These videos still have high popularity.

Each has hundreds, even thousands of comments.

Even the hottest one has tens of thousands of views.

Obviously.

This is all thanks to someone behind the scenes.

The PR team of "I Am Not a Medicine God".

Next.

Several days of outdoor shooting.

Basically, wherever we go, there will be onlookers.

Fortunately, everyone is fairly rational.

Tonight.

This is Zhang Ziyi's first scene.

The pole‑dancing scene in the bar.

For other actresses, this might be considered a rather daring scene.

But for Zhang Ziyi, it's basically a small case.

She feels no pressure at all.

Inside the bar with flashing neon lights, the air is filled with alcohol and a hint of romance.

Lin Mo stood behind the monitor, only to hear him shout into the microphone: "All departments, attention—lighting, camera, props, check everything again, we're about to shoot!"

At Lin Mo's command, the set instantly fell silent, leaving only the faint sound of machinery running.

The lighting technician shone beams of light onto the bright, shiny pole at center stage.

The sound engineer then played a background track with a strong beat.

"Action!"

Lin Mo's voice trailed off.

Inside the bar, the music suddenly swelled, and several cameras zeroed in on Zhang Ziyi on stage.

What needs to be said, said.

This professional dancer is just different.

Zhang Ziyi's movements are incredibly smooth.

Those who don't know might think she's been pole‑dancing for years, but she's only practiced a few days.

"Change camera angle!"

Lin Mo picked up the microphone again and shouted.

The camera swung over to focus on Xu Zheng and Deng Chao.

At the same time, the boom mic was suspended above their heads.

"She looks like a patient, huh?" Xu Zheng shouted, straining his voice—the bar was too loud, and if he didn't speak up, no one could hear him.

"No, her daughter is!" Deng Chao shouted back.

All that could be heard was—

"Click!"

Lin Mo called a stop,

Let's do it again, actors—pay more attention to your emotions, make them fuller!

Readjust the lighting!

This scene isn't that easy to shoot.

After all, this is also a group scene.

Take three, second time! Take three, third time! Take three, fourth time!... just repeating over and over, filming from 8:30 p. m. until nearly 10 p. m., almost an hour and a half.

Click! Lin Mo finally nodded in satisfaction, "Passed!"

Hearing that, the actors on set all let out a sigh of relief.

Especially Zhang Ziyi.

She kept dancing over and over, her legs were rubbed raw.

Zhang Ziyi had just finished that scene, out of breath from exhaustion; her assistant, quick-eyed and quick-handed, hurried over, holding a jacket, swiftly draped it over her, muttering: "Sister Zi Yi, put it on quickly, don't catch a chill."

Zhang Ziyi turned her head with a smile and joked to Lin Mo: "Director Lin, look at my leg—does this count as an occupational injury?"

She said this, lightly rolling up her pant leg to reveal the scraped marks on her thigh.
