Chapter 95: Lin Mo is the second Wang Jiawei? The cast is panicking!

~8 min read 1,489 words

Just this scene!

Lin Mo stubbornly went up against it, shooting take after take, N many takes, spending the whole night like that, all to capture that perfect moment.

Although.

Jiang Wen, Ge Daye, and Fa Ge all performed very well.

After each take, Lin Mo always felt it was lacking something.

"Click!" As Lin Mo gave a clear sound, everyone's hearts also loosened.

"Passed!"

As soon as those two words were spoken, the atmosphere on set instantly relaxed considerably; even Jiang Wen, Ge Daye, and Fa Ge all showed relieved smiles—this hurdle was finally over!

"Perfect!"

Looking at the monitor at the few shots just taken.

Lin Mo couldn't help but say a sentence.

Meanwhile, Re Ba hugged Lin Mo's arm, watching his finished work.

Although.

Re Ba didn't understand why Mo Ge kept shooting those few shots over and over.

But she felt, Mo Ge had his reasons!

It's almost 10:30 now.

Yang Mi and the others had already gone back to rest.

Only Re Ba kept Lin Mo company.

Over here.

"Director Lin's shooting style has a touch of Wang Jiawei's flavor; the pursuit of cinematographic aesthetics is taken to an extreme—look, these few shots were polished for four hours!" Ge Daye said, and he himself couldn't help laughing.

Hearing that, Fa Ge nodded along.

"My younger brother, these days he's not short of money; I guess he's purely pursuing that extreme feel of the shots!" Jiang Wen pointed out.

That's right.

If it were before.

Lin Mo wouldn't dare to shoot like that.

No.

Seeing Ge Daye and the others come over.

Lin Mo also greeted: "Old brother, Ge Daye, Fa Ge, come take a look at these few shots—aren't they different from just now?!"

Saying that.

The three also came over.

Re Ba even made space, giving them the best viewing spot.

Jiang Wen widened his eyes, carefully examining the image on the monitor, and even sucked in a breath with a hiss: "Honestly, old brother, although these few shots aren't different from before, they just have a different feel—this feel... I can't put it into words!"

Ge Daye joked beside him: "Director Lin, have we wrapped this scene satisfactorily? But don't come up with some new trick tomorrow morning, saying it doesn't feel right and we have to redo it—our old bones can't take that kind of tossing!"

Hearing that.

Several people couldn't help but laugh.

Likewise.

Lin Mo also laughed.

In other words, Ge Daye is treating him as the second Wang Mojing.

So he waved his hand boldly and said cheerfully: "Passed, passed, this part is passed!"

"Director Lin, your pursuit of cinematic beauty really is quite similar to Wang Jiawei's!" Fa Ge said with a smile.

"No, I'm not as extreme as Director Wang; at least I won't confiscate your passports and IDs!"

"Hahaha!"

After returning to the hotel.

Lin Mo went to take a shower.

Meanwhile, Re Ba went to take a bath.

Both were tired after a day.

Over here.

Lin Mo blew dry his hair while scrolling on his phone.

He had been busy filming earlier.

He hadn't checked any messages.

Many groups had @'d him.

Director Xu sent him a message: "You little brat, you're so bold—heard you're filming this drama entirely on film stock?!"

Two hours ago, Director Xu sent it.

"Hey, it's not for the sake of movie quality, right?!"

Lin Mo casually sent a reply; Director Xu probably slept and didn't reply.

Then came the group chat.

Good grief!

Everyone was chatting about this topic.

"Holy shit, I heard Director Lin's new drama is being filmed on film stock!" Chen He.

"My goodness, that's too awesome!" baby.

"Hiss... As expected of Director Lin, just two words, overbearing!" Huang Xiaoming

"Director Lin, this film's investment is probably several hundred million, right..." Deng Chao

"Just Jiang Wen, Fa Ge, Ge Daye, and Jia Ling sister, their pay for this film is probably over a hundred million each..." Zheng Kai

「...... 「

Lin Mo glanced at it silently, also didn't respond

Speaking of which

His film's investment is indeed not low

He alone invested 1.5 billion

There are also other companies involved

For example, Huayi, Yinghuang, and several other companies; together they also add up to one hundred million

Total investment 2.5 billion

In this time period

In 2016, it's really hard to find a few films with higher investment than his

"Let the Bullets Fly"

Since this film project was approved

Basically, every few days it hits the hot search list

This isn't

Today it hit the hot search again

That's right, it's the news that he plans to shoot the film using film stock, which has spread throughout the circle

Netizens are even more heatedly discussing it nonstop

Itself

They are just looking forward to this film

Now hearing that Lin Mo is using film stock to shoot, this makes them even more curious

What kind of film is this exactly!

Played on the bed for a while

Re Ba also finished her bath and came out

Describing her as a lotus emerging from water is not an exaggeration

Young and beautiful

That skin, so tender and juicy

Originally, Lin Mo had no idea

But seeing this scene

Any man couldn't help it!

The next day

The crew of "Let the Bullets Fly"

Lin Mo hasn't arrived yet

The extras on set are still heatedly discussing last night's incident

"What? Director Lin filmed that scene yesterday for four hours?"

"Really or fake?"

"Really, why would I lie to you, I was there the whole time!"

"Holy cow, Director Lin won't become the second Wong Kar-wai, right!"

"Hiss.."

Not to mention, these extras are discussing

Even the lead actors are chatting about this topic

For example, Hu Jun, Jiang Wu, Shao Bin, and Chen Kun left early

Just arrived at the set and then learned this news

Good grief!

Each one of them panicked!

Director Lin, don't mess around!

I still have scenes later...

This isn't

Lin Mo arrived at the crew

He also learned this rumor from the assistant

Um...

No wonder when he arrived, seeing everyone's looks at him felt off

So during the day

Lin Mo's shooting progress sped up considerably

Thus also dispelled everyone's worries

They were really afraid!

If this film were shot for a year straight, they wouldn't have to do anything else

In the blink of an eye, it was evening, and the Hongmen Banquet scenes officially began filming

Lin Mo. Also maybe "eight minutes" not a name.

【122】: Master, County Magistrate, Master Huang? or Old Master Huang. Also maybe "crew" not a name.

Whenever the lines "Master tall!", "County Magistrate hard!", "Old Master Huang both tall and hard!" were called out in front of the camera, the whole crew went on edge, afraid of making a mistake.

The glossary only includes certain names; we are to reuse the EXACT English already in the glossary above. For other names, we need to translate them (not romanize). So we need to produce a list of names that appear, with English translations.

Thus we need to extract all distinct names (personal names, titles, places, etc.) from the lines.

Let's go line by line.

Finally, with Lin Mo's shout of "Click! Passed!"

Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had lifted a thousand-pound burden.

Jiang Wen collapsed into the chair, wryly saying, "This scene, damn it, is finally finished!"

Ge Daye also exclaimed with feeling: "Not easy at all, we've been filming for three whole days..."

He shook his head, seemingly still savoring every detail of the just-filmed scene.

Three days, and that's already fast.

You should know.

In a previous life, the Hongmen Banquet scene from "Let the Bullets Fly" took Director Jiang Wen eight days to film.

That was filming while revising the script and lines.

And what about Lin Mo?

He already had the picture in his mind.

Just follow it and it'll be right.

Fa Ge eased fatigue with humor: "These few days, shooting has made my eyebrows cramp!"

As he spoke, he made an exaggerated expression, causing Jiang Wen and Ge Daye to burst into laughter.

If Lin Mo knew.

He wanted to say, we've only just begun.

In this play.

Fa Ge's eyebrows are in for a world of hurt.

This side.

Re Ba accompanied Lin Mo.

These past few evenings, she came every day.

Just to gain some experience.

Seeing Mo Ge finally finish this scene, she smiled and looked at Lin Mo: "Mo Ge, these few scenes of yours have really tired out Director Jiang and the crew!"

These past few days, she hasn't seen much of Director Jiang and Ge Daye complaining about Lin Mo.

"This is called art!"

This eight-minute scene.

It used over fifty thousand feet of film.

Lin Mo didn't feel it was a waste at all.

As long as you film the classic shot, that's fine.
