Chapter 462: The Portrayal of Human Nature

After deepening the intimacy between the couple twice, the two slept in each other's arms on another bed.

The next day, Luo Mo, having washed his hair twice and given his all, woke up to the sound of his phone alarm.

His schedule was usually very regular; when sleeping alone, he generally woke up naturally in the morning.

It was just that when staying with the Heavenly Queen Xu, he would even be a bit lazy about getting up.

On the contrary, Jing, who was lying in his arms, had a noticeably different complexion and skin condition compared to Luo Mo.

After getting up, the two went to the bathroom together to brush their teeth.

With his mouth full of toothpaste Bubble, Luo Mo raised his finger and played the victim, saying, "Jing, look, my index finger was bitten until the skin broke by you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chujing nearly choked on her own toothpaste Bubble, glared at him with an unhappy expression, nudged him with her elbow, and said, "Shut up!"

When she was completely relaxed, some suppressed instincts would come out.

However, the intimacy of the night could hardly be brought up and discussed during the day.

Do you think last night was a match, and we need to review the tape in the morning?

After a simple wash, the two had to head to the airport.

Luo Mo flew to Xiamen, and Xu Chujing flew to Hangzhou.

In his view, bringing in Guan Fei as a co-director could truly save a lot of effort.

Just like this, when Luo Mo was not on set, scenes unrelated to him could still be filmed normally, and he just had to check them after returning.

"Working-man Fei, you might as well just work for me for a lifetime." Luo Mo started acting like a jerk again.

But given Guan Fei's special debt-prone constitution, he would always lose all his money and be mired in debt not long after earning it, so working for a lifetime was not impossible.

After arriving at the set in Xiamen, most people who saw Luo Mo took the initiative to greet him: "Director Luo."

"Director Luo."

People like Zhou Tong used to follow behind Luo Mo to learn acting and participate in theater tours, so when filming Nirvana in Fire, they all called him Little Director Luo.

But now, after the great success and explosive word-of-mouth of Nirvana in Fire, Zhou Tong and the others on set all called him Director Luo directly.

Guan Fei, whose face had been tanned quite a bit, waved at Luo Mo as soon as he saw him walking over.

"Whoa, how did you get another shade darker?" Luo Mo found it a bit magical.

"People who are naturally dark are just like this; the more they are in the sun, the darker they get. For someone like you who is naturally fair, that's just called getting sunburnt, and you'll turn white again in a few days." Guan Fei waved his hand indifferently, not caring about his image.

Before meeting Luo Mo, he didn't pay much attention to his image either, adhering to the motto: "I live by talent!"

After meeting Luo Mo, he understood what it meant to be both handsome and talented, so it changed to: "I, live!"

This face isn't something that can be saved just by wearing sunscreen properly.

As long as there is no place for you, others cannot block my dazzling talent.

From this, it can be proven that I can continue to not need a face.

"Show me yesterday's results," Luo Mo said.

Guan Fei nodded and said, "Take a look, take a look, let me open your eyes to the god-tier performance of everyone while you were away!"

Luo Mo looked at the scenes filmed yesterday, and as Guan Fei had said, there were no flaws to be found.

A mature Actor and a mature director really make one feel at ease.

"Brother Tong's eye acting is indeed top-notch," Luo Mo quietly gave a thumbs up.

"Okay, no problems," Luo Mo gave the final word, indicating that these takes did not need to be reshot.

At this moment, he looked up and happened to see Ding Xiaoyu coming out of the motorhome after changing her clothes.

As soon as she saw Luo Mo, she waved from the motorhome door, then ducked back in, and only after getting a bottle of water for her master from the fridge did she trot over.

Watching her well-behaved appearance, Luo Mo couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration.

"Yu is just too well-behaved; she's too well-behaved with me," Luo Mo thought to himself.

At the same time, he could also feel the girl's immense admiration for him.

It was almost catching up to the kind Guo Xiang had for Yang Guo in Shen Diao Xia Lu.

It was precisely because of this that when filming some of the arguing scenes between the male and female leads in the first few episodes of Reset, the young actress Ding Xiaoyu had a hard time finding the state, because she would instinctively be suppressed by Luo Mo's aura.

The state of her performance was a bit off.

Even though she was reciting the lines from the script and was clearly arguing, the feeling she gave was as if she were weakly saying, "Master, I was wrong."

After adjusting her state for a long time, she finally finished filming the earlier small arguments.

The content to be filmed today was the conversation in the park after the male lead Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing successfully got off the bus for the first time in Reset.

It was another scene with friction and arguments.

To be precise, this scene was a collision between sensibility and rationality.

It was also another round of grinding between the male and female leads.

Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing still had quite a few differences.

Li Shiqing was still a student, while Xiao Heyun was already a member of society.

At the same time, this scene was also an important embodiment of the portrayal of human nature in the early part of the entire series.

Reset was clearly a Group Portrait drama, and the characters within it all had very obvious strengths and weaknesses.

This was how a Group Portrait should be.

Extremely good people and extremely bad people were actually the most stereotypical arrangements.

The world was not black and white, but a delicate shade of gray.

Before filming started, Luo Mo began to adjust his state.

Zhou Tong had no scenes to film today, but he came to the set to join in the fun, purely to see how Luo Mo would act.

Yu Lijuan, a teacher at the Drama Academy who played "Pot Aunt" Tao Yinghong, also walked over.

"Teacher Yu," Zhou Tong greeted her.

Yu Lijuan nodded, and the two Middle-aged Persons stood together, looking toward Luo Mo's side in unison.

Mm, both of them are unmarried.

Zhou Tong is because he has been divorced once, while Yu Lijuan is because she is a Non-Marriage Advocate.

At this moment, the Drama's direction is roughly that the male and female leads have successfully gotten off the bus for the first time, escaping the big explosion.

Then, because their ideas differ, the two of them start arguing again.

Arguing, in fact, is a matter of one word leading to another.

Amidst their back-and-forth, a hint of exasperation appeared on Luo Mo's face, but it was clear he was still restraining himself: "Why should we save them?"

"In many of the 【Loop】s, we ourselves are corpses too!"

"If the people on this bus are destined to die, perhaps this chance to escape is Heaven helping us."

"People must cherish opportunities."

"We are not the killers."

"There's no need to... have a sense of guilt because of the people on this bus, right?"

By the time he reached the end, he began to stutter a little.

It was not that the lines were not spoken smoothly, but because in his view, when a person is expressing some inner thoughts, they will hesitate about whether to say certain things, and the brain will start to pick the most appropriate words to polish their rhetoric.

After saying this, he looked at Li Shiqing, played by Ding Xiaoyu, and with a look of disbelief in his eyes, he continued to argue: "Kindness is not a cheap virtue; it must be matched with ability."

"Otherwise, it's just causing trouble."

After speaking, he let out a rough breath and walked toward the depths of the park on his own.

Teacher Yu Lijuan watched this scene and said, "Director Luo's on-site line delivery skills are very good."

In her view, this original audio of Luo Mo's lines could be used directly, without needing any post-production dubbing.

Some Actors are the post-production type; their on-site lines are relatively poor, requiring post-production to go back and dub them.

With someone like Luo Mo who has such good line delivery skills, it is easier to enter the emotion and easier to pick up the cues when acting opposite him.

After the two arrived at the riverside, the atmosphere was initially calm, but later on, friction arose again.

Li Shiqing's emotions also rose a bit.

Xiao Heyun, played by Luo Mo, spoke the most difficult part of this episode.

This part involves the most realistic portrayal of human nature.

"Those passengers don't know anything; death is just a matter of an instant, they can't even feel the pain," Luo Mo said.

"Then what about us?"

"We have to face the fear; is it wrong to be afraid of death?" Luo Mo paused for a few seconds.

"Isn't seeking advantages and avoiding harm human nature?" Here, it was as if he were supplementing his own argument.

"I can't be as full of Kindness as you; am I... am I just being Evil!?" The most crucial line arrived just like that.

Zhou Tong and Guan Fei watched from the side, and the two said in unison: "Beautiful!"
