Chapter 305: Professional matters still need to be left to professionals!

~6 min read 1,154 words

Leisi Town.

A place over a hundred kilometers from Neluo.

Lin Mo, Cheng Long, and others were standing at the edge of a vast, boundless desert.

"Mo Zai, you've picked a good spot here; it feels primitive, desolate, with a tense, exciting atmosphere!" Cheng Long said, looking at Lin Mo.

Hearing that, Lin Mo also said, "Not bad; this place is the only suitable one around!"

He had specially gone to consult Daniel.

Upon hearing he wanted such a place, the other party immediately recommended Leisi Town to him.

It really is suitable.

Lin Mo had already started preparations in advance to ensure smooth filming.

Here, he specially designed a retro-style train, its body covered in rust patches, revealing the vicissitudes of time.

At the same time, several specially modified vehicles were also in place, shining even more brilliantly against the desert backdrop.

Long Shu wasn't just a cameo in Fast & Furious.

He was also the action director.

Still that saying.

Leave professional matters to professionals!

Long Shu was also enjoying himself.

He couldn't stay idle; it was as if, once he relaxed, he felt like he had fleas all over, making him uncomfortable.

The train robbery scene at the beginning of Fast & Furious is not easy to shoot.

Lin Mo's photography team had prepared all kinds of cameras—high-speed, high-definition, including drones, etc.

To ensure they could capture the shocking visuals of the train and sports car chase from different angles.

As for the final part, where Paul and Fan Di Sai Er fall from a height into water,

That couldn't be done.

Only post-production special effects could be used.

After all, he couldn't have the actors jump down themselves, could he?

Not to mention the actors.

Even if they hired a stunt double, the person might not dare either.

A jump of several tens of meters from high altitude...

Money or life?

In the blink of an eye, it's already been almost a week since arriving at Leisi Town.

Today will begin the formal shooting of this plot.

Previously, Lin Mo and the crew had conducted multiple on-site rehearsals.

To simulate the chase route of the train and sports car, they also had to calculate speed, distance, and angle to ensure every move was precise.

This was also to ensure the safety of the filming site.

He didn't want an accident to happen to an actor as soon as filming started.

As for Re Ba,

she has been staying at a hotel in Neluo these past few days and didn't come over.

mainly because she doesn't have any scenes.

Upon hearing that filming had started, she immediately came over.

As soon as she arrived at the set, Re Ba saw everyone busy, and upon seeing her, they all warmly greeted her.

Lin Mo's crew consisted not only of locals but also some foreigners.

These foreigners saw their colleagues respectfully greeting a Huaguo girl and were quite curious.

"Hey, buddy, who is this Huaguo girl?" one foreigner couldn't help but ask.

"She's our boss's girlfriend!" a staff member who understood English quickly explained.

So that's how it is.

Only then did they finally understand!

No wonder...

Seeing Lin Mo giving directions to Fan Di Sai Er and Paul, Re Ba didn't go over to disturb him.

On the other hand, Cheng Long saw Re Ba arrive, smiled, and greeted her: "How is it, is Neluo fun?"

Re Ba shook her head, somewhat disappointed, saying: "Not fun, I don't know any friends."

Indeed.

Even if she went out shopping, she found it boring.

Maybe the first day was okay, but by the second and third days it had lost its appeal.

These days she's been in the hotel.

When she had nothing to do, she video-chatted with Yang Mi and Bai Lu, etc.

"Long Shu, I see there's a train over there and a railway; was it built specially by Mo Ge for filming this scene?" Re Ba asked curiously.

She had seen it as soon as she arrived.

"Yeah!"

Cheng Long nodded.

After chatting a short while, Lin Mo also came over.

He smiled, put his hand on Re Ba's shoulder, and she leaned into his embrace: "Mo Ge, I've been so bored these days!"

"Hey, that's just how filming is!" Lin Mo laughed, pinched her cheek, then thought and said, "How about this: you call your close female friend and see if Zhao Lusi or Bai Lu is free, have them come act a role, and also keep you company!"

"Ah? Really possible?"

Hearing this, Re Ba was surprised.

Although she is Lin Mo's girlfriend—no, that's not right—now they've gotten their marriage license, so she should be his wife.

But Re Ba rarely would recommend her friends to act for her man.

Even...

Even for Mo Ge's films, she herself wouldn't say she wants to demand a female lead role or anything like that.

Just like British Duel and Fast & Furious.

She never voluntarily said she wanted to act.

Because...

She knows her acting isn't good, and she's afraid of embarrassing her man in such a big-production film!

"Of course it can!"

Lin Mo laughed and said.

It's not an important role anyway; just casually arrange it.

Beside them, Cheng Long watched the two young people showing affection there.

Cheng Long also thought back to their own past.

Ah...

Truly, when people get old, they easily reminisce about the past.

At 2:30 p. m., the sun was shining brightly.

Fast and Furious crew.

"Action!"

With Lin Mo's command, the desert train robbery scene began filming.

At the same time, the entire photography team started moving.

Boom crane camera, tracking shot...

On the soundstage side, in front of the director's monitor.

The image on the monitor.

The first shot showed a train roaring across the desert, kicking up layers of yellow sand.

Immediately after, an old freight truck closely followed the train, the scene tense and thrilling.

"Cut!"

Just this one shot.

Lin Mo filmed it over and over several times.

Throughout the filming process, his demand for detail was almost harsh.

He even personally went up to guide the actors' movements and expressions.

Also, the cinematographer.

Lin Mo's photography team leader, that is, his dedicated cinematographer Xiao Li.

"Soon, you must tell them to pay attention to the light; when shooting this scene, the camera angle must keep adjusting—I want the most perfect shot...." Lin Mo said while gesturing to them.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li understood; as Lin Mo's dedicated cinematographer, having worked on many films together, Xiao Li knew Lin Mo's demands inside out.

"Okay, Boss, I'll go tell them now!"

Lin Mo patted Xiao Li's shoulder and said, "Go!"

Okay.

That's what professionalism is.

He only needs to tell Xiao Li what kind of shot he needs.

Xiao Li just needs to communicate with the photography team.

Still the same saying.

Professional matters should be left to professionals!
