Chapter 296 I know what I want to shoot
39 degrees, a high fever. No wonder Wu Mu felt so uncomfortable.
After hanging two bottles of water at the clinic and eating the lean meat porridge ordered by Lin Qingyue,
He was stuffed back into his room to rest.
The lead male actor in the crew fell ill, and today's exterior scenes have been almost finished.
Lin Qingyue simply gave the crew half a day off so that everyone could have a rest.
"Great! Director Lin is smart!"
"Old Qian, let's go to that Chuan Xiang Lou for dinner. Director Lin, do you want us to bring lunch for Wu Mu?"
"No, enjoy your meal, I'll buy some more later."
"It's too tragic for Teacher Wu Mu to get sick on his birthday."
"How can he not get sick? He filmed a whole day with high intensity, and he went out to play guitar at 3 or 4 in the evening. He is really popular. Four of the top ten trending searches on Weibo are about his birthday."
"Hahaha, if I knew he was sick, I would probably add one more thing."
The soundproofing in the hotel was average, and Wu Mu could still hear people outside chirping at him even when he was drowsy.
Four of the top ten hot searches?
Mo Mo and the others’ blessings will definitely get one.
Xiao Mo seems to have plenty of creative inspiration recently, considering it has only been a short time since his last song.
Aqing, please just transfer the money directly to me next time to avoid the music platform taking a cut.
Were the gloves that A Yao gave me sent by express delivery?
I didn't get it either, idiot.
Wu Mu's thoughts drifted away, and then he fell into a deep sleep again.
I don't know how long I slept.
While he was drowsy, he was awakened by a loud noise again.
"Director Lin is here to visit the set."
Someone is shouting outside.
Director Lin?
Wu Mu, who had just woken up and whose fever had not yet subsided, didn't react at first. He was still thinking that Lin Qingyue would come to visit him on set?
But immediately, he realized that Director Lin was not talking about Lin Qingyue.
Lin Xueming's calm and steady voice came from outside.
Director Lin came to visit his daughter on the set.
Lin Xueming must have brought a lot of food and drinks to distribute to the crew members, and there were voices of thanks to Director Lin everywhere.
He should be very familiar with the members of Lin Qingyue's crew. He can call out many of their names without any introduction.
Occasionally, when he met someone he didn't know, he would ask, and then Lin Qingyue's voice next to him would introduce them to him.
Wu Mu outlined the situation outside in his mind based on the movements outside.
But there is no need to outline it.
When I came to visit the set, how could I forget about the leading actor?
"Where is Wu Mu? Why can't I see him?" Lin Xueming asked in a majestic and steady voice.
"He has a fever and is resting in his room."
"Fever? Which room is he staying in?"
"Maybe he's still sleeping and hasn't woken up yet."
"I gonna go see."
A flurry of footsteps approached.
It was indeed Lin Xueming, and he brought an assistant with him.
The assistant carried some small paper bags and placed them on the table in the room. They should be the snacks that Lin Xueming brought when he visited the set.
Lin Qingyue, Lou Ziwen and others also followed beside him, and Lin Qingyue gave him a helpless smile.
Wu Mu was slightly happy in his heart, and half sat up without paying any attention, "Director Lin."
"It's okay, you don't have to get up. Why do you have a fever?"
Lin Xueming looks quite friendly.
"Maybe I caught a cold accidentally, it's nothing serious, I'm almost well now."
"It's good that you're well. You should take care of your health even if you are young."
As Lin Xueming spoke, he looked around the wooden room and shook his head, "The standard of the hotel you are staying in is too low. Is the heating temperature high enough?"
"That's enough. Director Lin also took into consideration that this place is close to several major filming locations." Wu Mu took the initiative.
"That's good."
After comforting Wu Mu and asking him to have a good rest, Lin Xueming turned to Lin Qingyue and said, "Where is the film you shot? I'll go take a look."
"Behind the hotel."
After smoothing out the quilt for Wu Mu, Lin Qingyue led the group out.
After Lin Xueming took a tour of the crew, he booked a table at a nearby restaurant and treated the crew to dinner.
Everyone went, and the hotel became quiet.
Wu Mu lay on the bed, thinking about how Lin Xueming had just looked, and shook his head slightly with a smile.
I feel much better than when I first woke up in the morning, but I still feel a little sleepy.
He looked at the ceiling and let his thoughts drift for a while. Then he took out his phone and played some games, then fell asleep again.
Then when I woke up, I was woken up again.
There was a slight sound of a key turning in the door, and then a pair of familiar footsteps approached.
Wu Mu closed his eyes and didn't want to get up.
The footsteps walked to the table in the room, as if something was put down, then walked to his bed and reached out to touch his forehead.
Wu Mu continued to close his eyes.
After the hand touched his forehead, it did not move away, but moved down along the corner of his eyes and gently stroked his face.
I felt this soft and warm hand touching my nose and lips.
Wu Mu opened his eyes as he was waiting for the hand to go further.
However, after stroking his face for a few times, she raised her hand and reached into his bed along the edge of the quilt, found the position of his palm, and held his hand.
Wu Mu hesitated for a moment, then held it with his backhand as before.
The owner of the hand didn't seem surprised that he was awake, and just sat down next to him.
"Do you feel better?"
"Yeah, I'm not so dizzy anymore."
"Why do you want to go out and play guitar so late?"
"Haha, I suddenly feel like it."
Wu Mu opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling above his head, and Lin Qingyue who was looking at him with clear eyes beside him, "I suddenly know what feeling you want to shoot."
Lin Qingyue smiled and asked, "What is it?"
It's loneliness.
The "Wu Mu" in the story is undoubtedly lonely. He changes schools frequently, always on the way to familiarize himself with the surroundings, and then transfers to another new place after becoming a little familiar with it.
Every time we get to know each other, we soon lose touch with each other.
His parents are also busy with work and don't have much time to care about him.
He was like being thrown on a deserted island, surrounded by people, but no one really cared about his inner world. Until he met a girl with the same experience, the two of them got closer and closer, and it seemed like they were in harmony with each other in spirit.
He thought he had finally gotten rid of loneliness and that there were people in the world who cared about and understood him just like him.
But soon, this person transferred to another school.
He returned to a state of loneliness, but this time he still felt that it was external reasons such as distance and transferring schools.
There is still hope in my heart.
But as he reconnected with the girl and he strengthened his heart and took up great courage to go to another city to see her, the contact gradually fell apart. Moreover, after they kept in touch through letters, they ran out of things to talk about and broke off contact on their own initiative.
He finally realized that people may never be able to get rid of loneliness, and lovers who understand each other can only be together for a period of time, but will eventually separate or become cold for various reasons.
People can only live like isolated islands in the city.
This was something he suddenly realized while playing guitar last night.
When he was playing the guitar, he felt the same feeling as when he was filming a movie, and then he immediately understood.
Loneliness is the feeling that Lin Qingyue wants to capture.
Her seemingly stream-of-consciousness shots and landscapes are all about creating this feeling.
Just like she said, the character's name, background, and story are all unimportant.
What she wants is to use stories, actors' performances, and atmosphere to make everyone empathize and experience this feeling. She would consider it a success if people can put themselves into the story.
After listening to Wu Mu's understanding, Lin Qingyue nodded gently, "Well, no one can truly empathize with another person. The current understanding is just the understanding converted by one's own emotions. As the difference in this substitution conversion becomes greater, it will eventually become impossible to understand each other."
She looked at Wu Mu and said, "Maybe one day we will be like this too. Even if we are together, we will eventually separate due to various reasons. Or maybe we have been together for too long and the novelty has faded and we become bored."
I didn’t expect that Director Lin has never been in love, but he is so pessimistic about love.
Wu Mu shook his head with a smile, "That's not necessarily true. Relationships are not just about passionate love, there's also the understanding and companionship after the passion fades."
Lin Qingyue smiled and said, "You have a lot of experience, I'll listen to you."
Um! ?
Ridiculing people, right?
Wu Mu looked at him with amusement, changed the subject, and asked curiously, "Do you think I'm a lonely person?"
Although he was in a bad mood last night, he never showed it normally.
Why did Lin Qingyue say that she thought of him as soon as she saw this story?
How could his usual appearance be related to loneliness?
Lin Qingyue didn't answer directly, but asked, "What do you think the smile you made in the last scene of the movie meant?"
That smile?
Wu Mu recalled that he and the heroine passed each other on the railway and were separated by the train, and then he found that the heroine was not waiting for him on the other side with a smile.
First of all, that smile definitely means relief, but what is he relieved about?
"He is relieved about the past, and is relieved that the heroine didn't wait for him."
Lin Qingyue shook her head, "Let's not talk about the story setting, let's talk about yourself."
Myself?
If you feel relieved by then, then.
"Let go of loneliness. Everyone is lonely. Instead of trying to make others understand you, it's better to entertain yourself."
Lin Qingyue looked at him with a smile, "To be happy alone, doesn't it mean that you don't have any expectations or desires for others, and you can be happy without the understanding and support of others?"
This seems to make some sense?
Wu Mu sighed and laughed.
Although I always worry about Lin Qingyue shooting landscape films, I have to admit that Lin Qingyue is indeed very talented as a director.
Not only does the lens have a unique aesthetic, but the senses are also very sharp and the vision is very accurate.
Indeed, if we talk about loneliness alone, to some extent, no one on Blue Star can feel it more deeply than him.
After all, there are no other time travelers on Blue Star who were thrown from Earth into this parallel world.
Everything that was familiar to me before has disappeared, and I will never see my relatives and friends again.
I still carry Tongzi's secret in my heart which I may never tell anyone.
In terms of love, I had several girlfriends in my previous life. In fact, I already knew that being in love does not mean that you can be together forever.
Can see more openly.
In a way, this story does fit him.
After talking about the topic of understanding the movie, Lin Qingyue, who had been holding his hand in the quilt, pulled him and said, "Get up and eat. I brought you oatmeal porridge. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Wu Mu stood up helplessly, "It's porridge again, it's just a cold, it's not serious."
"Didn't the doctor tell you to avoid certain foods for the next few days?"
Holding the oatmeal porridge handed to him by Lin Qingyue, Wu Mu asked casually, "Have you finished your meal?"
"Not yet, I came back first."
"That Lin can't guide"
Wu Mu hesitated, "Your father doesn't seem to like me very much?"
It's not expressed directly, but I can feel it.
Now it was Lin Qingyue's turn to hold back her laughter. "How could he possibly like what you did before? He's always wanted me to find a boyfriend who's the son of an official and has a career in politics."
After all, it’s still about the collapse of the Wumu house.
This matter has indeed long passed in terms of his popularity, but everyone still remembers it in their hearts.
The Wu Mu incident was probably equivalent to a green version of the Yanzhao scandal. There weren't any revealing private photos, but the chat screenshots were really too shocking.
Anyone who truly pursues a significant other for their children will consider things like this.
Not to mention that Director Lin's father is still thinking about marrying a son-in-law who is the son of an official, so Wu Mu's identity as a star is even less impressive.
Lin Qingyue waved her hand generously, "It's okay, I don't care, I'll just pretend it never happened."
Then, she said with a little seriousness, "You don't have to worry about him. I can make my own decisions."
"Ah."
Although he felt that family factors were quite important in a relationship, Wu Mu didn't say anything else and just nodded.
As for whether they are worthy of each other and whether their status are equal, that's a joke. Even in his previous life, he didn't think that he was inferior to anyone else in terms of personality.
Now he has become a time traveler with a system. Is there anyone who is not worthy of him?
It took two days for Wu Mu to recover from his cold.
After recovering, we started filming again.
This time I will start to go back and make up for the places I skipped before.
After understanding what Lin Qingyue wanted to shoot, his progress continued at a rapid pace.
For example, the scene in which he was cut at the very beginning.
Now reshoot, not only passed it in one take, but also
“It does feel a little different from the beginning?”
Lou Ziwen looked at the camera strangely.
Obviously, he thought it was perfect during the first show, with lots of details and light and shadow effects.
But I just feel that the current picture seems more perfect?
It starts with light and shadow effects, and an indescribable flavor?
Wu Mu was also looking at the footage he had just taken.
When he was shooting this shot just now, he didn't think about anything in his mind, nor did he worry about what effect to present or what actions to take.
Just act according to your own instinct.
But after shooting, he found that there were actually all kinds of effects and details missing.
And he didn’t know if it was a psychological influence, but after understanding the theme that Lin Qingyue wanted to shoot, he seemed to really begin to discover some of the feeling that Lin Qingyue described.
Just like the air in the story, it is everywhere.
