This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 345 - 287 Holding Hands

This caught Wu Mu completely off guard.

Lin Qingyue’s acting was surprisingly strong?

Watching from the side, he couldn’t detect any unnaturalness.

Especially when compared to Lin Qingyue’s usual demeanor, the contrast was even more stark.

Wu Mu watched Lin Qingyue on set with curiosity.

After Lin Qingyue’s scene ended, it was Wu Mu’s turn to act.

Finally, it was time for his and Lin Qingyue’s joint scene.

Over the past few days, his shootings were mostly scenes of him sitting by the window looking outside, or sitting alone on a bench in the courtyard watching the playground.

Combined with the landscapes in the camera’s lens, all these scenes made him feel as if he were shooting a music video, with imagery that crafted an atmospheric mood.

Hmm, even though the scene together seemed quite mellow and stream-of-consciousness.

"Later, you’ll be in the school’s small library just normally looking for books, and then I’ll be next to you, accidentally dropping a book I wanted to pick up, and then you help me pick it up, and that’s how we meet."

"This scene, along with our scenes from transferring to the school, are all flashback scenes, and the real story begins after you receive a letter from me after half a year of no contact."

"These will be shown at the beginning as flashbacks after you receive the letter. No need to talk, I want a quiet and gentle atmosphere, but just act as you did before."

Lin Qingyue explained the scene to him.

In the story, because both were transfer students and didn’t fit in well, instead of going to the playground, they preferred to read in the school’s small library.

Initially, there was no interaction, but they started to connect after this incident, gradually discovering many similarities and slowly growing closer.

"By the way, what kind of novels do you usually enjoy?" asked Lin Qingyue.

"Four Bodies, Avalanche, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, A Song of Ice and Fire... I quite like them," Wu Mu listed several novels from Earth that also existed on Blue Star.

Lin Qingyue thought for a moment, shook her head, "The style is too distinct, doesn’t fit the atmosphere of this scene, but we can write it on your library card later as a little easter egg."

She said, while arranging the small library set, eventually picking out a white-covered book.

"Use this one later, it was a favorite of mine in high school."

Wu Mu looked at the cover, a novel called "In Search of Lost Time."

This flashback scene was also just a few seconds long, and he acted just like before.

Then he felt that standing there, he got it right in one take.

Smoothly, unbelievably so.

And other familiar scenes from their memories, like being partnered during a gym class, taking out the trash together during duty days, all went in one take.

Wu Mu was almost influenced by the idea that Lin Qingyue’s movie was easy to shoot, when finally, a problem occurred.

"No, the look in your eyes isn’t enough," Lin Qingyue said, shaking her head after checking the footage on the monitor.

This scene was about how their relationship moved closer from simply friends to something more intimate, as they started commuting to and from school together.

They were teasing a cat along the way, the female lead Shi Li was watching the cat, but Wu Mu was watching Shi Li.

Lin Qingyue referred to the look he had while watching Shi Li.

Wu Mu also watched the monitor, "What’s missing?"

"Not passionate enough, lacking a bit of intimacy."

Lacking a bit of intimacy...

"Let me adjust it and try again."

The second take started, this time Wu Mu directly engaged his previously acquired Eye Acting skill.

But...

"Now it’s passionate and intimate, but it doesn’t match the feeling I want," she observed.

Wu Mu felt helpless, although Lin Qingyue’s comments were cryptic, he understood this time.

Although he had activated the skill, and technically met the requirements, he actually replaced it with other emotions and memories.

He didn’t portray it as Lin Qingyue had mentioned before, to act as himself.

Fully acting as himself and then conveying passion and intimacy through his gaze... indeed, was a bit challenging for him.

"I’ll try again."

Wu Mu tried several more times, but Lin Qingyue rejected all the takes.

However, Lin Qingyue seemed in no hurry, checking the time, "We can shoot this scene tomorrow too. I’ll go shoot the sunset on the rooftop first, let’s wrap up early today."

...

"Boss, a cosmetics brand from South Korea contacted us asking for a quote, should we offer a lower price?"

After wrapping up for the night, Wu Mu had flipped through the movie script and the original novel a few times and was about to take a shower when Shi Wu’s call came.

"A South Korean cosmetic brand?"

Wu Mu wondered, "Is it a brand that has a market presence here?"

"No, we’ve checked, they are a local brand in South Korea, practically no market internationally."

Why would a brand that only has a market presence in South Korea seek him out?

Wu Mu didn’t understand.

Despite his show seeming to have South Korean fans who had come to the set and making the hot search list on Instagram a few times, he was very aware that his overall popularity in South Korea was minimal.

After all, he hadn’t appeared in any Korean shows or dramas.

Reliant on a few hot searches, at most, he could attract a small niche of enthusiasts. Most people would simply forget, just like they do after reading about some foreign athlete winning a championship—the name is hard to remember.

Even he could say his hot searches in Korea were mostly negative in nature, so under these circumstances, why would a Korean brand want him as their spokesperson?

Shi Wu hesitated for a moment and then said, "According to Shu Mei’s research, it seems that there’s an executive in that company who is a fan of yours."fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
