Chapter 276: Wang Jiawei: Missing a Bit of Feeling!
Wang Jiawei's Blooming Flowers.
I remember that last year, news online said it was being filmed.
When I went to Xiang Jiang before.
Director Wang didn't say to let him go check out the set, did he?
It just so happened to be in Mo Du.
And...
Lin Mo was really curious about how Wang Jiawei shoots his films.
Well, after asking for the location on WeChat,
Lin Mo then went over.
Not only is she curious, Re Ba is curious too.
Mainly because.
Wang Jiawei has too many stories.
As for filming, once you start it can take years.
Like confiscating actors' passports, etc.
Re Ba has heard Zi Yi complain about Wang Jiawei more than once.
In the car.
"Mo Ge, is Director Wang's shooting really that exaggerated?" Re Ba couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know either; we'll see when we go check it out later!"
Lin Mo shook his head.
Not long after, they arrived at the Blooming Flowers set.
As soon as the two got out of the car, they saw someone running over.
"Director Lin, hello, I'm Director Wang's assistant..."
Oh, so he's Wang Jiawei's assistant.
From the way this assistant speaks, he doesn't sound like someone from Xiang Jiang.
"Are you from the mainland?"
Lin Mo asked curiously.
Upon hearing that, the assistant hurriedly replied, "No, I'm a local from Xiang Jiang!"
"Then your Mandarin is really fluent!"
Next, Lin Mo said with a smile.
Re Ba also chimed in: "Yeah, listening to you, you don't sound at all like someone from Xiang Jiang!"
This trip was to Xiang Jiang.
Re Ba also knows how bad Xiang Jiang people's Mandarin is, that weird accent.
Immediately, the assistant explained that he often works with Director Wang on the mainland, so he gradually learned it.
The few staff members at the entrance.
When they saw Lin Mo,
they also respectfully shouted "Director Lin!"
Upon entering the set, it was very quiet.
Obviously.
At this moment, Director Wang was filming.
As a fellow director, Lin Mo was very familiar with it.
"Director Lin, I'll go..."
As the assistant was about to speak, Lin Mo waved his hand to interrupt: "Don't disturb Director Wang; let him finish this scene first—I'll just watch for a moment!"
"This..."
"Alright..."
Mainly because Director Wang had previously instructed him specially to tell him immediately if Director Lin arrived.
Now hearing Director Lin say that.
This puts him in a tough spot...
However.
He still went over quietly to inform Wang Jiawei.
And when Wang Jiawei heard that Director Lin Mo had arrived,
he immediately turned his head to look over.
Just then, their eyes met.
Lin Mo smiled and nodded at him.
Wang Jiawei did the same.
The filming hadn't stopped; it continued.
On the set.
Hu Ge and Tangyan's opposing scene.
Both spoke authentic Mo Du dialect.
Lin Mo and Re Ba naturally understood; although neither of them are from Mo Du, after living there for a few years they could still follow along.
After all.
People from Mo Du are born with a sense of superiority; normally they don't speak Mandarin, they speak the local dialect.
It's about a minute.
Click!
Hearing the click sound.
This scene is basically over.
As for whether it passed or not, Director Wang didn't give any hint.
Looking at Hu Ge and Tangyan, as well as the other actors and crew.
Obviously.
They are all used to it.
Whether this shot passes depends entirely on Director Wang's mood; if his mood is good, it passes.
Of course.
It's passed now, but that doesn't mean anything will happen later.
If one day Director Wang sees the weather is nice and pulls this segment out to shoot again..
This is all routine.
Only see, Wang Jiawei stood up and walked over toward Lin Mo.
At this moment.
Only then did the crew notice Lin Mo and Re Ba.
Good fellow!
When they first saw Lin Mo, they were all stunned.
「This.. this looks like Director Lin Mo, right? 」
「Take out the two words 'looks like', and this is it! 」
「Wow, I'm still seeing Director Lin in person for the first time! 」
「Ah, Director Lin has come to visit the set! 」
「I just saw the hot search for 《British Duel》's 110 billion box office two days ago! 」
「...... 」
This isn't it.
Hu Ge and Tangyan hadn't seen it yet at first glance.
It was still the assistant who ran over to tell them.
「Ah, Director Lin has come? Is that Director Lin Mo? 」 Tangyan still a bit doubtful.
Likewise.
Hu Ge also froze for a moment.
He didn't even know that Director Wang and Director Lin knew each other.
「Old Hu, it's really Director Lin, and Re Ba!!! 」
Immediately, Tangyan saw that it really was Lin Mo, and she excitedly shouted toward Hu Ge.
「Seen it, seen it! 」
Hu Ge said with a hehe laugh.
Several years ago, he and this junior disciple of his had met once.
It's only been a few short years.
His junior disciple has become an internationally renowned director...
This side.
「Director Lin, welcome, welcome! 」
Wang Jiawei smiled and shook hands with Lin Mo, exchanging pleasantries.
「Director Wang, we're not disturbing your filming, are we? 」 Lin Mo replied with a smile.
Re Ba called out, 'Director Wang!'
「No, no, it's an honor for me, Wang, to have Director Lin come to my crew! 」
「Where, where, Director Wang, you're exaggerating! 」
The two weren't meeting for the first time; they exchanged a few brief pleasantries.
Next.
The main cast and crew of 《Blooming Flowers》.
They heard that Director Lin Mo had come.
Originally they were resting in the trailers, reading scripts, but now they all came running over.
For example, Ma Yili, Xin Zhilei, Zheng Kai, Dong Chong, etc.
Of course.
Hu Ge and Tangyan were the first to come over and greet Lin Mo.
「Director Lin, hello, I'm actor Tangyan! 」 Tangyan greeted respectfully.
「Director Lin! 」
Hu Ge, on the other hand, greeted with a smile.
Lin Mo first nodded at Tangyan, then looked at Hu Ge: 'Senior brother, long time no see!'
Only then did Wang Jiawei beside them remember.
Director Lin and Hu Ge both graduated from Shanghai Theatre Academy; they really are senior brothers.
Lin Mo can call Hu Ge "senior brother."
But Hu Ge dare not call Lin Mo "junior brother."
After all, the status gap is too big.
When people call Director Lin senior brother, that's just polite talk.
Next.
The main creators of Blooming Flowers have all come over.
Wang Jiawei also introduced them one by one.
However, upon seeing Old Master You, Lin Mo stepped forward and took his hand: "Teacher You, hello!"
Re Ba also respectfully shouted: "Teacher You!"
"Oh dear, Director Lin, hello hello!"
Old Master You also greeted Lin Mo with a Hehe laugh.
How could he not know Lin Mo?
A genius director!
The leading figure of the seventh-generation directors in China!
Now he has even made a name for himself abroad.
Afterwards, Lin Mo chatted with Old Master You for a while.
He really grew up watching Old Master You's performances.
Upon seeing Old Master You, Lin Mo's mind involuntarily conjured that nursery rhyme: "Torn shoes, torn hat, torn robe."
"Ji Gong" is truly classic.
Lin Mo came to visit the set this time mainly to see Wang Jiawei's filming site.
After a brief chat with the crew members,
Wang Jiawei continued filming the next scene.
While Lin Mo sat beside him to watch.
Re Ba did the same.
"Director Lin, if there are any technical shortcomings later, please point them out!"
Wang Jiawei turned his head to look at Lin Mo and said.
"Director Wang, you're being too modest; in terms of skill, you're an expert!" Lin Mo said, shaking his head with a smile.
"No, no, it's just peers praising each other; let's discuss it together!"
"That works!"
The whole afternoon.
Lin Mo watched Wang Jiawei film.
How to put it?
He couldn't make heads or tails of it.
Because...
After Wang Jiawei finished shooting a shot, he didn't say whether it passed or not, and just moved on to the next.
So Lin Mo watched for a long time but still didn't know if he was satisfied.
Lin Mo curiously asked: "Director Wang, were all the shots you filmed this afternoon just automatically approved?"
However, Wang Jiawei shook his head:
"I don't know either; I'm just missing a feeling!"
As for what feeling is missing,
looking at him, he truly doesn't know.
No wonder they say Wang Jiawei's filming relies entirely on feeling.
