Chapter 314

Slow work produces fine products.

With Chen Mo writing so quickly, there was no guarantee the script wasn't crudely made. Da Liu had high expectations for this script; if Chen Mo's script was written very crudely, he would definitely be very disappointed.

But unexpectedly, the quality of Chen Mo's script was quite good!

No.

It should be said that it was perfect.

This idea of his was based on the science fiction novella *The Wandering Earth* he wrote.

This novel came out in 2000, and many ideas in it were still relatively raw and immature.

And Chen Mo's script had already supplemented all the immature concepts in the novel, and even perfected many of them.

"Momo, you are simply incredible. There are many ideas I need to learn from you."

Da Liu read it over and over again, full of praise for Chen Mo's script.

It was fortunate that he came to find Chen Mo; if he had found another director, they definitely wouldn't have been able to write such an excellent script.

"If the script is confirmed, then we will prepare to start filming."

Chen Mo smiled at Da Liu.

Da Liu certainly had no objections; he wished the movie could be filmed sooner!

However, before the movie was officially filmed, *The Wandering Earth* still needed casting. Originally, Da Liu wanted Chen Mo to play the role of Liu Qi, believing that Chen Mo's age was very consistent with Liu Qi's.

But to find someone who could be on par with Chen Mo in acting skills and could also play his father.

Looking at the entire entertainment industry, it was indeed a bit difficult.

So in the end, everyone unanimously agreed that Chen Mo would play Liu Peiqiang, and then they would find a young-generation actor to play the role of Liu Qi.

The casting poster for *The Wandering Earth* had just been sent out, and all the new-generation male actors in the country were ready.

If other companies wanted to film science fiction movies, they definitely wouldn't be so interested.

But this was the Momo Company!

And they could also act alongside Chen Mo!

Even if the development of science fiction films in the country wasn't good, as long as they could act alongside Chen Mo, it meant a limitless future.

Wang Jinghua prepared the list of male actors, and when Chen Mo took a break from filming *Avatar*, he could come back to cast the roles.

……

*Avatar* filming site.

In addition to filming outdoors, there were also some plots that needed to be filmed in the wild.

In order to make the movie's scenes look more exquisite than in his previous life, Chen Mo specifically improved many aspects of the movie's quality, including the filming of exterior scenes.

In the movie plot, Pandora was a very magical planet, and the vegetation and animals inside were all very magical.

So to film exterior scenes, they also needed to find a place where the vegetation and animals were very magical.

That was the primeval forest near the equator.

Filming here was very difficult, and the requirements for the actors' physical strength and sense of belief were very high.

If one wasn't careful, they wouldn't be able to persist.

"Momo, why don't you let a stunt double film for you? If you have any mishaps during filming, your fans will kill me."

Cameron looked at Chen Mo.

Because the Na'vi image could be produced through post-production in the end, if the scenes were too dangerous, actors could let stunt doubles who looked similar film these segments.

Especially since Chen Mo also had to perform fight scenes in the primeval jungle.

This placed extremely high demands on the actors.

Generally, actors with higher market value would choose to use stunt doubles in this situation.

"It's fine, I can film it myself."

Chen Mo shook his head.

Special effects could indeed make stunt doubles look very similar to him, but they still couldn't handle some detailed issues.

Seeing Chen Mo so insistent, Cameron didn't say anything more, but added several accompanying medical personnel to the team.

Soon, the *Avatar* crew rented a helicopter locally and flew to the filming site.

Sure enough, the filming site was very stuffy and humid, and there were poisonous insects everywhere.

In short, the filming process was very arduous.

"I can't do it anymore; we must take a break first."

Michelle and Zoe both shook their heads, asking Cameron to pause the filming.

These two actresses were both very outstanding actresses.

Michelle had appeared in *Resident Evil 1*, *Fast & Furious*, and many other movies; her action and fight scenes could be said to rank high among the many actresses in Hollywood.

Zoe had also appeared in *Pirates of the Caribbean*; at this moment, her physical strength was even more inadequate.

They sat in a tent on the side to replenish water.

"Crew, pause!"

Cameron shouted, temporarily stopping the filming of this scene.

After all, both actresses were exhausted, and the filming couldn't continue.

"Can you two continue filming?"

Cameron didn't want to waste time and turned his head to look at Chen Mo and Miles.

Chen Mo was of course fine; besides needing to replenish water from time to time, he didn't feel that his physical strength was depleted very severely.

Miles was a bit troubled, but he also agreed.

The plot the two were to film was a fight scene between Chen Mo and Miles, where Chen Mo eventually killed Miles.

Once the two were ready, they started filming directly. Every few shots, Miles's physical energy would be rapidly consumed; halfway through the fight, Miles couldn't go on and called for a pause.

This segment consumed too much of the actors' physical strength.

It could only be filmed bit by bit.

"Chen Mo, aren't you tired?"

Miles looked at Chen Mo curiously, completely unable to understand why Chen Mo hadn't even gasped for breath.

Because he landed on Pandora as a normal human, he didn't need to wear those sensor devices.

Chen Mo was different; he had to wear the sensor devices and fight with Miles.

Just now, he had glanced at the other actors wearing the devices; after taking off the tight suits and sensor devices, the sweat inside could literally pour out.

Group: 543659389

It was very hard work.

"It's okay, I can still film for a while."

Chen Mo shrugged; besides being a bit hot, he didn't have any special feelings.

Hearing the conversation between Miles and Chen Mo, everyone was surprised.

Chen Mo's physical strength was too amazing; he was simply like a monster!

In this situation, he could actually still film for a while?!

"Chen Mo is too amazing. In such hot weather, he would definitely be exhausted. Persisting like this must be because of Chen Mo's professionalism."

Miles exclaimed in admiration.

"You let me see the basic qualities of an actor. Director, I'm not resting anymore; let's continue filming!"

Michelle also agreed with Miles's sentiment.

The actors of the crew praised Chen Mo for his professionalism one after another, and many actors also readjusted their state and started filming.

Chen Mo couldn't laugh or cry.

He really wasn't tired.

After filming in the primeval forest for a period of time, the *Avatar* crew finally ended the filming in the jungle.

They returned to Hollywood to continue green screen filming.

However, before filming again, Cameron still left a period of adjustment time for the actors, so they could rest well before returning to the crew to film.

Taking advantage of these few days, Chen Mo returned to the country.
