Chapter 292 The highlight
"Are you awake?" Lin Qingyue asked with a smile.
"No." Wu Mu said truthfully, and sighed, "Luckily I don't have a bad temper when I wake up, otherwise I wouldn't be able to be an actor."
"Haha."
Although we got up early, today may not be enough time for taking photos.
Because we didn’t know when the snow would stop, and there were a lot of snow scenes in the film and a lot of places to shoot, the overall schedule was very tight.
Today's scene mainly involves him taking the train to meet Xiao Li, and then finally kissing under the cherry blossom tree.
There were too many scenes to shoot in one day, so we mainly shot the exterior scenes with snow. As for the interior scenes in the train that show his state of mind, we shot them later.
"In the morning, we will shoot the part where you are riding in the car. In the afternoon, we will move to the station to shoot the scene after you arrive near Xiao Li's house."
There was no problem with the morning scenes.
Basically, they are some shots of his back and snowy scenes. According to Lin Qingyue's introduction, these are shots used to highlight his emotions.
Although Wu Mu didn’t feel any emotions, it was not difficult and was shot quickly.
It's afternoon
He felt a little weird when he thought about what shots he was going to take in the afternoon.
After knowing that he would be transferred to a very far away city, Wu Mu made up his mind to meet Xiao Li and tell her about his feelings.
The two agreed on a date to meet, and on that day, Xiao Li would wait at the station when his train arrived.
Then on the day Wu Mu was about to set out, it began to drizzle.
Wu Mu boarded the train to Xiao Li's area, which was a relatively remote area and he would have to change trains several times along the way to get there.
Without a cell phone or extra money, and just being a middle school student, he marched towards the unknown ahead with great courage and a letter expressing his feelings.
He was looking forward to meeting Xiaoli and being able to convey his feelings to her.
But the rain in the sky slowly turned into snow.
The train was delayed due to bad weather, his transfer plans were disrupted, and his expected time of arriving at his destination was repeatedly delayed.
He had already passed the arrival time agreed upon with Xiao Li.
But the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier. The thick snow covered the railway tracks, and the train could not move forward. The snow needed to be cleared before it could run again.
He and the train he was on were abandoned in the vast wilderness.
It was already late at night when the train started again and took him to his destination.
He was desperate and miserable.
Just as he was in pain, he got off the train and saw a small figure waiting in the station.
"Okay, pass!"
The progress is faster than expected.
Today's shooting is expected to last all night and we will be busy until three or four in the morning.
But it was only around 11:30 in the evening when the previous scenes were almost finished.
Now all that’s left is the final highlight.
After a busy day, the crew members were physically tired but mentally refreshed.
No one spoke, but from the shining eyes when everyone secretly glanced at Wu Mu and Lin Qingyue from time to time, it was obvious what everyone was expecting.
Everyone was looking forward to it, but Lin Qingyue, who had been in a hurry before, seemed to be less anxious now. "Everyone, take a break, drink some water, and eat something."
Liu Miao, who played the second female lead, was also there.
Although she has no filming this month, she has never filmed a movie before and has been adapting to the crew this month.
Seeing her fidgeting and obviously absent-minded, Lou Ziwen sighed and shook his head, "Director Lin's casting is really accurate."
"Hmm?" Liu Miao looked at him as if he didn't hear clearly.
"It's okay. I told you that you have talent and you can fit in the role perfectly."
Wu Mu was also talking about this. He looked at Lin Qingyue suspiciously, "Director Lin, you didn't deliberately arrange this for the effect of the movie, did you?"
There are many such shots in the circle that allow real actors to be put into the scene to create a more realistic effect.
For example, in order to make the actor act out in an isolated state, the entire crew deliberately isolates the actor himself; or in order to make the actor get into the role and act out a hysterical scene, the actor's shots are deliberately NGed over and over again, etc.
I've heard this a lot in the circle, and most of the time when it's spread, it's used to praise the director for his aspirations.
But Wu Mu himself hates this kind of thing very much.
Because this kind of thing, first of all, reveals an attitude of not treating other people as equals.
Lin Qingyue rolled her eyes at him, which was rare. "I'm not that persistent. Compared to movies, I care more about reality."
After sitting and resting for a while, Lin Qingyue looked at the time and saw that it was already twelve o'clock in the evening. She stood up and said, "Okay, everyone, get ready. Let's shoot the last scene of the day. After that, go back and rest."
The last scene today is naturally the kissing scene between Wu Mu and Lin Qingyue.
Under the big cherry tree that I saw when filming a long time ago.
The crew on the set are setting up the scene.
It is different from the previous time I saw it, although it was not in bloom, it was still lush and green.
At this time, all the leaves of the cherry trees have fallen, and the branches are bare, looking unattractive against the dim night.
"The camera is ready."
"The lights are in place."
"Enter the actors."
Assistant Director Feng Shang gave precise instructions on behalf of Lin Qingyue.
Wu Mu and Lin Qingyue stood under the cherry tree, staring into each other's eyes.
Wu Mu felt weird again, especially when he thought about what they were going to do next.
To be honest, I don’t think I’m shy.
It just feels weird.
Soon, the crew was ready.
"Everyone, take your positions!"
"Action!"
Wu Mu stared at the girl in front of him and slowly leaned forward.
The girl in front of him was also looking at him, tiptoeing slightly and leaning forward.
It seemed that the two were about to kiss.
"Stop!" Assistant Director Feng Shang frowned and poked his head out from behind the monitor. "Teacher Wu Mu, you were a little slow just now."
Although this was a slow motion, Wu Mu's movements were a little slower than Lin Qingyue's.
This is not noticeable under normal circumstances, but in this kind of continuous close-up, it will appear inconsistent.
Wu Mu looked at Lin Qingyue who was looking at him helplessly, and laughed guiltily, "Sorry, please ask my question again."
"Everyone prepares."
"Second time, start!"
Wu Mu's head slowly moved forward again.
but.
Lin Qingyue took the initiative to avoid him. She looked at Wu Mu helplessly and amusedly, "Why are you hesitating?"
Wu Mu felt even more guilty, "It seems a bit... maybe I'm not used to it."
Lin Qingyue looked at him helplessly for a few seconds, then thought about it and said, "Then let's go out for a walk and see if we can adjust it. If not, we can go to the back to shoot."
"Everyone, take a break for a while. Brother Feng, take people to the nearby town to see if there are any restaurants open and buy some hot midnight snacks for everyone."
After arranging the crew, Lin Qingyue waved her hand and said, "Let's go, let's walk around here."
"okay."
Lin Qingyue led the way forward, but after just a few steps, she seemed to remember something and turned back, "I'll get the things."
She took a small box slightly bigger than her palm from a car parked not far away.
Wu Mu was curious, "What is this?" "You'll know soon." Lin Qingyue's eyes were smiling.
The two began to walk out along the railway.
It is now past midnight and the sky has already become dark.
The cherry trees were surrounded by lights arranged by the crew, so it was fairly bright. But once you were outside the area where the crew was stationed, it became dark immediately, and you could only see shadowy figures in the dim light.
Lin Qingyue and Wu Mu walked along the railway beside the cherry trees and soon walked out of the area where the crew was stationed.
Their vision went dark in an instant, and the world seemed to quiet down at the same time, becoming cold and silent.
Lin Qingyue stopped and said nothing, but raised her empty hand towards Wu Mu.
Wu Mu held it familiarly.
During the past ten days, Lin Qingyue came out to take a walk with him every day and "familiarize herself with the plot" at the same time.
I'm almost used to holding it.
Lin Qingyue's palms were still as soft and warm as before.
The two of them continued walking forward.
Lin Qingyue no longer pretended to be calm as she had at the beginning. When she walked, she would occasionally pull his hand and sway forward like a child.
The two of them wandered around aimlessly.
We didn't stop until we came to a small pavilion which was supposed to be a place for people to rest.
"Let's go sit inside."
After sitting down next to Wu Mu in the small pavilion, Lin Qingyue began to open the small box she had brought.
Wu Mu looked at it curiously.
The small box was quickly opened, revealing a delicate little cake inside.
Ok?
Wu Mu was stunned.
Lin Qingyue still smiled, "Happy birthday."
Huh?
Today is my birthday?
Wu Mu finally reacted.
"I forgot about it. I don't usually celebrate."
When his mother was alive in his previous life, she would call him at a certain time every year, and he still remembered it.
After my mother passed away, my father was the only one who didn’t care much about birthdays. He would celebrate it if he remembered, and not celebrate it if he didn’t.
After realizing that today was his birthday, he realized the meaning of why Lin Qingyue had to shoot this scene today and had to wait until after twelve o'clock.
At once.
Wu Mu was amused, "Director Lin, you have such a sense of ritual."
"I want to give you a birthday that will be more memorable." Lin Qingyue looked at him, her clear eyes gleaming in the darkness.
Wu Mu looked at her and nodded gently, "It is indeed a deep memory. I am afraid I can still remember it many years later. But I seem to have ruined your sense of ceremony, Director Lin."
"maybe."
Wu Mu looked at Lin Qingyue, who stopped talking halfway and was still looking at him, and sighed with amusement.
OK.
He and Lin Qingyue, who was sitting next to him and very close to him, looked at each other for two seconds, then slowly lowered his head and moved closer.
Lin Qingyue's body was obviously tense, but her voice seemed to remain normal, "You don't hate me, do you?"
Wu Mu stopped at the point where his nose was touching hers, with a smile in his eyes, "Director Lin, you'll be cuter if you show nervousness at this time. I don't hate you, but I just feel like the progress seems a little too fast, and I'm not used to it."
Lin Qingyue's breathing was rapid, but she tried to keep her voice normal, "It should be a matter of time."
Humph, your mouth is tough, but your body is really honest.
Wu Mu tilted his head slightly, rubbed the tip of Lin Qingyue's nose, and gently pressed his lips against Lin Qingyue's lips.
After a long while, they both finally separated when they both felt they were almost out of breath.
Lin Qingyue's face was flushed and she breathed in the fresh air rapidly.
Wu Mu was feeling a little better, but he was still breathing rapidly.
Lin Qingyue still had her arms around his neck, and they were staring at each other, both silent.
After staring at each other for several seconds.
Lin Qingyue looked up and went to meet him again.
After a while.
Seeing that Lin Qingyue was about to raise her head, Wu Mu quickly turned his head and said, "Director Lin, we still have to shoot later."
Lin Qingyue froze, her arms paused for a moment, then slowly loosened, nodding as if nothing had happened, "Well, eat the cake and go back."
Lin Qingyue is indeed a person with a strong sense of ritual, and she even brought candles and a lighter.
"Make a wish."
This is my first birthday since I traveled through time, and it is such a memorable birthday.
Wu Mu naturally closed his eyes and made a wish in a very ritualistic manner.
Well, let’s make a small wish that A-Tong will give him tens of thousands of performance cards.
After making a wish, Wu Mu blew out the candle.
The two of them divided the cake in half.
Lin Qingyue glanced at Wu Mu's lips that were still stained with butter, and smiled and wished him again, "Happy birthday. I'll give you a birthday present when I get back."
"It's okay. You don't have to give it to me."
Wu Mu waved his hand generously, and said at the same time embarrassedly, "I didn't prepare a gift for your birthday before, and I don't know the date of your birthday."
"It's normal that you don't know. You're a celebrity, and your birthday is listed in the encyclopedia. I didn't tell you my birthday, and you even sang a song for me before."
Lin Qingyue was still smiling.
"Let's go, let's go back and see if the shots we'll take can be taken. If not, go back and rest early."
"Ah."
Wu Mu looked at Lin Qingyue who was walking in front of him and sighed slightly in his heart.
What is this? !
Before, they were holding hands and it could be said that they were preparing for the movie, but now they are kissing directly. This is progressing too fast.
What kind of relationship is this now?
Wu Mu was helpless.
Although I don't particularly care about my birthday, a girl remembers your birthday and is willing to prepare a special birthday ceremony for you.
A smile flashed across Wu Mu's face.
On the way back, the two didn't speak.
When they were about to see the lights on the set, Lin Qingyue spoke as if jokingly, "This is my first time kissing someone, and I didn't expect it to feel like this."
Wu Mu looked at her with amusement.
Director Lin, please be honest. If you want to tell me this is your first kiss, just tell me directly.
He nodded, "I can see that, but I didn't expect that Director Lin had never been in a relationship before."
When Lin Qingyue was collecting folk songs before, she said that she had never dated anyone in school. He thought that meant she had never dated anyone in junior high school, but had dated in college and after graduation.
Unexpectedly, we never talked about it at all.
However, based on Lin Qingyue's reaction when they held hands before, he had already guessed something.
"I can't compare to your charm, Teacher Wu Mu." Lin Qingyue smiled.
Wu Mu pretended not to hear and continued walking.
After returning to the set, Lin Qingyue told him to give it a try, but the result was actually self-evident to both of them.
"Okay, we've passed this one, everyone pack up and prepare to go back and rest."
After Lin Qingyue looked at the surveillance camera footage, she indicated that this one had passed.
-
ps: I didn't expect that such a plain writing could pass the review. The kissing scene couldn't be released no matter how I revise it, so I could only write a brief description.
