Chapter 427: Re Ba: I'm Going to Be a Talent Scout?

Outdoor hotel, rooftop.

A total of six cameras were set up on site, each capturing every detail of this scene from different angles.

Two of them were specially fixed on both sides of the banquet hall to capture the panoramic view and guests' reactions, while one was placed high up for a top-down shot of the hall's movements.

The remaining cameras were each aimed at the Joker, Harvey Dent, and Batman to capture their various expressions and actions.

Of course.

Most importantly, there is Lin Mo's dedicated cameraman Xiao Li, who holds a camera specifically to follow Heath Ledger's movements; just now, Director Lin told him that he must perfectly capture the Joker's madness.

Just listen.

With a "ding", the elevator sounded.

On set, all the extras turned their gazes toward the door; Heath Ledger, playing the Joker, wore a purple suit, his face painted deathly white, the corners of his mouth split into a scarlet scar, he bore a strange smile as he slowly walked in, followed by a bunch of lackeys.

Here, Lin Mo didn't forget to remind the photography team.

"Xiao Li, pay attention to Heath Ledger's facial close-up!"

On the monitor.

After Heath Ledger entered, he was holding an S686, which is what we colloquially call a shotgun.

Although Lin Mo likes live shooting, but...

Better not use a real gun; if something went wrong, that would be bad, so naturally they used a prop.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen... (Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!)"

"We are tonight's entertainment. (We're here to liven things up tonight!)"

"I only have one question. Where is Harvey Dent? (Where is Harvey Dent?)"

"......"

The preceding ten or so seconds.

The Joker suddenly appeared in the banquet hall, this is his personal style showcase.

The acting is indeed quite good, and his understanding of the Joker character is relatively thorough.

Lin Mo watched the monitor, and couldn't help but nod.

However, these actors seemed to be entranced.

The elderly actor playing Batman's butler even forgot his lines.

"Cut!"

Upon hearing that "Cut", the elderly actor snapped back to reality and hurriedly apologized to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo merely smiled and waved his hand, not caring at all.

"Not bad, not bad, this is exactly the feeling we want!"

"Caine, later, keep it up, this is the effect we want!"

Caine is an elderly actor; logically, he shouldn't make such a mistake.

But his mistake was just right; Lin Mo wanted the effect of them being intimidated by the Joker.

Most deserving of praise is Heath Ledger.

He fully grasped the effect Lin Mo wanted.

"Heath, your performance just now was absolutely perfect, keep it up!" Lin Mo said, smiling and nodding at Heath Ledger.

Hearing this, Heath Ledger smiled, his voice a bit hoarse but full of confidence: "Thanks!"

His voice was specially adjusted by himself.

The suggestion Lin Mo gave him was that the Joker's behavior is rather odd, so that voice naturally should differ from a normal person's.

Beside him, Elder Brother Cheng Long also laughed and chimed in: "This part is indeed good, though Heath's entrance really intimidated them, perhaps due to the makeup and costume; after all, anyone seeing that face would be a bit startled~"

Those present were basically all foreigners, so Elder Brother Cheng Long spoke in English, which they all understood.

Well, upon hearing that, everyone couldn't help but laugh a little.

Originally, Elder Brother Cheng Long had no scenes tonight.

But everyone also knows that Uncle Long has abundant energy; on the first day of filming, he at least had to watch for a while.

"Alright, take a break, then we continue!" Lin Mo said, clapping his hands.

The difficulty of this scene is not small; it has both dialogue and fight scenes.

It is currently Chicago time, 8:30 p. m., aiming to finish before midnight.

If it were another director, dragging their feet, they'd probably need several days.

But.

Who is Lin Mo?

He is famous for being fast.

He already has the picture in his mind, and these people are all professional actors; after he demonstrates once, everyone knows what effect he wants.

If they can't even pull this off, what's the point of being actors?

Might as well go home and feed pigs!

Domestically, it is now 12:30 p. m.

Chicago and the domestic location have a 14-hour time difference.

Lin Mo went to Chicago to film, while Re Ba staying alone is quite boring.

Today, she rarely came to the company.

Mainly because yesterday Liu Qin sent her a WeChat saying he had something to discuss with her.

Don't forget, Re Ba is now an artist of Morning Light.

Just that.

She, as an artist, is different from other artists...

Liu Qin can't manage her, nor does he dare to.

However, Re Ba also knows that Liu Qin usually won't look for her if there's nothing going on.

So, she specially came to the company at noon.

On this side, Liu Qin had already been waiting in the office for a while; seeing Re Ba enter, he immediately stood up, his face full of smiles: "Boss's Wife, you've come!"

Re Ba smiled slightly, waved her hand: "Manager Liu, no need to be so polite; you said yesterday you had something to discuss—what is it?"

She and Liu Qin have met several times before.

So they are fairly familiar.

She also knows that her man's company is basically run by Manager Liu.

Mo Ge has also told her that Liu Qin is a very capable manager.

Otherwise.

He also won't give Liu Qin even one percent of the shares.

Liu Qin hurriedly poured Re Ba a cup of tea, then carefully placed it before her, speaking respectfully: "Boss's Wife, it's like this: recently there is a Zongyi Magazine Magazine Magazine Magazine Magazine called \"Actor, Please Take Your Position\"; they sent us an invitation, hoping we could send a representative to participate. Originally they wanted me to go, but... I think you would be more suitable!"

Hearing that, Re Ba was stunned for a moment.

"'Actor, Please Take Your Position'—she knows it."

Recently, wasn't there an old acting veteran serving as a judge, commenting on those young actors—things like sitting on pins and needles, like thorns in the back, like a bone in the throat...

At that time, the show even made the hot search list.

Just...

What would I go there for?

Is she going to be an actor?

Or a judge?

Obviously, she isn't suited for either.

Liu Qin had no idea what Re Ba was thinking, so he hastily explained: "Boss's Wife, the Production Team means they hope you, as Morning Light's representative, go to the scene to see if there are any suitable actors; if so, you could hand over a script or something. After all, Morning Light is now a top-tier company in the industry—whether it's dramas produced by Morning Light or films by the Boss, these are countless actors' dream opportunities. Your going would not only boost our company's image, but might also help Director Lin and the company scout some good actors."

Hearing that, Re Ba immediately understood.

She lifted the teacup, took a light sip, and said with a smile: "Oh, I see—you want me to go be a scout."

Liu Qin quickly nodded, smiling: "Boss's Wife, you're right—you're not only the Boss's Wife but also our company's public face; if you go, you'll definitely attract more attention."

Look, that's what being articulate is called.

If she doesn't improve, who will?

Originally, Re Ba didn't have much going on; nowadays she basically doesn't take film/TV roles, just does variety shows, then live streams, and occasionally meets Mi Jie to stroll the streets and grab a bite.

She also understood Liu Qin's meaning.

After all, Morning Light is her man's painstaking effort; wherever she can help, she must put in the effort.

So she readily agreed.

Although Re Ba's acting isn't as good as those veteran actors', she did study acting, so poor acting doesn't mean she lacks judgment.

Whether an actor's acting is good or not, even ordinary audiences can tell, let alone professionals.
