Chapter 522: line with translation of chapter title

June.

It's already entered the scorching summer.

Jinling, filming site of In the Name of the People.

As the producer of this drama, Lin Mo, although, there's no need to stay with the crew the whole time.

But, he should at least come over to have a look.

Well, as the filming gets tighter, Lin Mo has come.

As soon as he arrived at the set, he happened to catch them filming.

And it's a notable scene.

Gao Yuliang and Li Da Kang are confronting each other over the big fire at Wind Field 116.

The crew's production staff, seeing Lin Mo arrive, were about to greet him.

But Lin Mo stopped them.

Don't interfere with the filming!

"Director Lin!"

Lu Yi, Xu Ya Jun, and the others, seeing Lin Mo arrive, hurried over.

This scene doesn't feature them; they're just watching from the sidelines.

While filming In the Name of the People, actors like Xu Ya Jun and Lu Yi, when they have no scenes, usually watch from the sidelines as these veteran actors perform.

Those are the seniors' experiences; you can learn something from them.

Lin Mo nodded at them, then made a shushing gesture.

Look over there.

Zhang Zhijian as Gao Yuliang, Wu Gang as Li Da Kang.

These two have fully gotten into their roles.

Zhang Zhijian: "Secretary Li Da Kang, according to what I know, Cai Chengong has little to do with the 116 fire; before the fire, he was beaten by staff and hospitalized!"

Wu Gang: "Fine, even if he has nothing to do with this fire, does he have any relation with Ding Yizhen? Did he bribe Ding Yizhen?"

"......"

The two stared at each other, the atmosphere dropping to freezing point.

"Secretary Gao Yuliang," Wu Gang suddenly leaned in, "Did you and the Political and Legal Committee give instructions to the procuratorate?"

Zhang Zhijian lowered his eyes and smiled: "The procuratorate exercises its procuratorial power according to law; how could we interfere? You tell me, right?"

"Secretary Gao Yuliang..."

"Let's not say more; let's first have a meeting, come on!"

Zhang Zhijian's mouth hung that signature official fake smile; he reached out and patted Wu Gang's shoulder, with moderate force, yet it seemed like he was patting an ignorant subordinate: "Secretary Li Da Kang, don't get excited."

Wu Gang stood still, his facial muscles tensed tight: "Am I excited?"

His voice suddenly rose, the tail even carrying a hint of a crack.

At this moment, Zhang Fengyi as Sha Rui Jin appears.

All we saw was he walked over unhurriedly: "Who's getting excited?" Then, glancing at the two, he said: "Let's have a meeting!"

"Click!"

Along with, Director Li Lu's click sounded.

This segment of filming ended.

"Clap clap clap"

Lin Mo led the applause.

Lu Yi, Xu Ya Jun, and the others, seeing that, also joined in applause.

Director Li Lu, Zhang Fengyi, Wu Gang, Zhang Zhijian, and the others only then noticed Lin Mo had arrived.

"Director Lin!"

Immediately, Director Li Lu hurriedly got up and walked over.

Likewise.

Zhang Fengyi, Wu Gang, and Zhang Zhijian also hurried over.

"This scene was shot well, Teacher Wu, Teacher Zhang, your acting is superb!" Lin Mo smiled, looking at Wu Gang and Zhang Zhijian, said.

Hearing that, the two were very modest.

Completely different from the Secretary Gao Yuliang and Secretary Li Da Kang they just portrayed in the scene.

One must say.

This really is an old... old veteran actor.

Say they're in character, they're in character; say they're out, they're out.

Wu Gang rubbed his hands, face full of smiles: "Director Lin, you're overpraising me; mainly it's because the script is well written~"

Zhang Zhijian likewise, smiling, said: "Director Lin, we're just clumsy skills, can't compare to you!"

In his view.

His acting skills were honed over time; having acted in the entertainment circle for so many years, if his skills still haven't improved, that would be pointless.

Then look at Director Lin.

That's truly a genius.

Under thirty, famous worldwide!

Lin Mo said nothing, just smiled and waved his hand.

Those two just laid on the flattery.

We've only chatted a few sentences.

Han Canping and screenwriter Zhou Meisen also came over.

This drama, Han San Ye is basically always on set; there's no choice—this is a show the higher-ups really value, and he's the one in charge. Look, these days he and Zhou Meisen have been constantly revising the script.

Just now the two were still talking about the plot; if the assistant hadn't run over to tell Han Canping, he wouldn't have known Lin Mo had arrived.

"San Ye!"

Lin Mo saw Han Canping arrive, smiled and greeted him.

"You finally came!" Han Canping patted his shoulder.

Zhou Meisen beside him also smiled and greeted Lin Mo: "Director Lin!"

"Let's go in and talk; we've just run into a problem—help us solve it!" Then Han Canping added.

Here, Han Canping pulled Lin Mo into the temporary office; the air-conditioner's cold wind instantly dispelled the June heat, and Zhou Meisen closed the door behind them.

Meanwhile, the table was covered with scripts.

As for Director Li Lu not coming in, it's because he still has to film.

Once the script is revised, just let him know.

Although he's the director...

But the person who really has authority in this crew is still Han Canping.

"This matter really needs you to take a look; the review department has objections to Gao Yuliang's ending. The original plan was for him to jump to his death when the Discipline Inspection Commission came knocking, but the higher-ups think that's too passive!" After sitting down, Han Canping poured Lin Mo a glass of water, then looked at him and said.

Zhou Meisen pushed up his glasses: "We've tried two revisions, both no good. The first was to make him turn himself in voluntarily, but they said it lacked drama; the second was to have him suffer a sudden heart attack during interrogation, but they said it smeared the image of leading cadres..."

"In the Name of the People"—this drama, Lin Mo had seen it in his previous life, so he's very clear on the plot in his mind.

He also knows Gao Yuliang's final fate.

Maybe someone here will ask: why didn't Lin Mo bring up earlier that this plot has a problem?

Cough cough.

Not everyone films like Lin Mo does, with the script finished before shooting.

For the vast majority of film and TV dramas, they just have a rough outline, then write and shoot simultaneously...

Especially TV dramas, so "In the Name of the People" is no exception.
