Chapter 111

~7 min read 1,240 words

Above Lei Jiayin’s head, two staff members wearing specially made green suits were waiting expectantly.

Just as he pulled out the small knife and was about to strike down.

The two of them suddenly leaped up, descending from the sky.

One of them even kicked Lei Jiayin’s arm.

Instantly, the staff member behind pulling the wire gave a sharp tug.

His body immediately flew backward violently, like a kite with a broken string.

This scene was executed with a high degree of perfection.

Whether it was the actor’s explosive performance or the staff’s coordination.

It could definitely be rated a ninety.

However, a problem arose.

It lay with that lead cinematographer!

He was standing on a mobile dolly, and because he needed to capture the moment Lei Jiayin felt 'unwilling to kill, struggling incessantly, yet helpless,' he was very close.

When the specially made green-suited men jumped down, they were only an instant away from him.

So, in that moment, he was startled.

Not only did the camera shake violently, but it also caused him to freeze in place for a brief moment.

And in the tense process of filming, no one would deliberately wait for him to regain his composure.

Consequently, Lei Jiayin’s body, flying backward, just happened to brush against the side of the lens.

Although it didn't affect his continued backward flight.

The camera had already lost its direction, and nothing was captured.

Messed up!

"This scene has quite high requirements."

"The photographer only has a split second to react; if they can't react in time, all previous efforts are wasted."

At this moment, Qin Mu finally understood why two shots could be filmed repeatedly for an entire day.

Because the difficulty was not small!

The close-up in the previous moment was necessary; otherwise, it would be hard to capture the emotional language on the actors' faces, which was the most important part of a movie.

It was precisely because of this that the photographer only had a very short window of time, the moment the green-suited men jumped down, to pull the camera away and avoid affecting the entire shoot.

It seemed like a simple action, but to actually do it, without excellent physical fitness, it was very hard to react in time.

"Then, Brother Qin, can you complete it?"

Hearing this, Yaya’s delicate brows furrowed slightly.

Before this, she hadn't been clear about the difficulty involved.

But after hearing Qin Mu’s words, she immediately knew the difficulty was quite significant.

"I can."

Qin Mu smiled and gave a direct answer.

Is it difficult?

For other photographers, it might be very difficult.

But for him, it was manageable.

Yaya looked at him in surprise, her beautiful eyes shimmering.

This confidence alone was enough to put her at ease.

Qin Mu continued to ask.

"There is."

"At..."

Yaya hurriedly explained the segment that had been reshot the most times during the entire day of filming.

Qin Mu also gained a rough understanding.

This plot segment was the climax of the entire film.

The first half depicted the real world, while the second half would present the foreshadowed 'otherworld.'

Therefore, as a plot point connecting the preceding and the following.

This short three-minute shot had to contain a large amount of live-action combined with special effects production.

Furthermore, the expressions on the actors' faces and their physical actions also needed to be focused on heavily.

So, under the requirements of several key points, the demands for the photographer’s precision, reaction speed, camera framing, and timing control increased dramatically.

Just while they were talking, Director Lu was scolding the photography team loudly.

"Sigh, this shot still isn't good; we'll have to pull an all-nighter tonight."

Lei Jiayin sat on the ground with a thud, his face full of distress.

Actually, pulling an all-nighter to film or something like that wasn't much of a problem for a professional actor like him.

But the most uncomfortable part was that he had too many high-difficulty actions in this shot.

Just like the segment where he was hung on wires and knocked flying earlier.

He had already gone through it ten times!

Nothing else, just that his head was dizzy!

"It is indeed a bit difficult. Sigh, we can only let Director Lu negotiate with the photography team; we don't really understand it either."

Yang Mi spread her hands and said helplessly.

"By the way, didn't Yaya say she was going to find that mysterious 'Brother Qin'?"

"I wonder if there's any news from that side."

Yu Hewei asked curiously.

"If we could invite him over, it would probably pass in a few takes, right?"

Yang Mi said thoughtfully.

"Have you seen him?"

Lei Jiayin asked suspiciously.

"I haven't seen him."

"Then why are you so certain?"

"Right now, 'Brother Qin' is very popular online. I've seen the videos he filmed before, and they are indeed quite good."

"What? You haven't seen them?"

Yang Mi was full of curiosity.

A few days ago, topics about 'Brother Qin' were frequently trending!

"I haven't seen them; I don't really go online."

Lei Jiayin shrugged.

He was a '2G' internet user, the kind who could go ten days or half a month without going online.

"I haven't seen them either."

Yu Hewei also gave a bitter smile.

Yang Mi was speechless.

She looked around boredly and happened to see Yaya and the others chatting not far away, so she hurriedly said, "Hey, isn't that Yaya?"

"Is that Brother Qin next to her?"

Lei Jiayin stood up to look.

Damn!

He's handsome!

"So that's how it is."

After Yaya finished speaking, Qin Mu nodded.

The filming difficulty of this part was indeed very high.

But he also had the confidence to film it well!

"Yaya."

In the distance, three people ran over.

Lei Jiayin, Yang Mi, and Yu Hewei.

As for Guo Jinfei, he was so sleepy that he went to the backstage to take a nap.

"You guys are here!"

"Let me introduce you. This is Qin Mu, Brother Qin."

"This is Lei Jiayin, Brother Lei; Yu Hewei, Teacher Yu; and Yang Mi, Sister Mi!"

Yaya hurriedly introduced both sides.

"Hello everyone!"

Qin Mu smiled and gestured.

"Hello."

"Brother Qin, I've heard many people mention you. Seeing you today, you truly have an extraordinary bearing."

"Hello, very happy to meet you!"

Everyone greeted him one after another.

"Alright, I'll take Brother Qin to see the director first. Let's chat after we finish filming early."

Looking at Director Lu, who was already furious over there, Yaya hurriedly took Qin Mu over.

"Is it that hard to film an action shot?"

"What on earth are you guys doing?"

At this moment, Director Lu was so angry that his face had turned red.

In front of him, several photographers kept their heads buried, saying nothing.

"Director Lu."

"Don't be angry anymore, I've brought a photography master!"

Yaya shouted hurriedly.

Director Lu was stunned for a moment and turned around.

As soon as he saw Qin Mu, his expression changed instantly, and he said with a full smile, "This must be Brother Qin, you've finally come!"

Huh?

Yaya was surprised.

How can you change your face faster than turning a book page!

Qin Mu: "..."

He was also shocked.

Weren't you just angry a moment ago? How did your attitude change so quickly!
