Chapter 115 An Accident Occurs During Filming
Chapter 115
Ni Heng was filming "Killing" before his incident, which is known to people in the industry and many viewers.
However, no one knows who will replace Ni Heng in the "Killing" production team, or who can handle this mess.
All I know is that Ge Peng is extremely anxious and is calling for help from all over the world.
"We definitely need to find an actor who can cover up Ni Heng's negative aspects."
"Those kinds of actors don't lack roles, right? Why would they go to the 'Killing' film crew to help out?"
“Ni Heng was handpicked by Ge Peng after careful consideration; it’s said that the role he played was quite difficult.”
Netizens have compiled a list, but still can't figure out who would be suitable to fill in for the "Killing" crew.
Ni Heng's character is questionable, but his acting skills are quite good.
He's been able to reach his current level of fame in the entertainment industry because he does have some real talent.
Netizens inevitably felt sympathy for the "Killing" production team.
"I feel that unless we find someone with Lin Yuan's level of stardom, someone with a high profile who can also handle Li Mobei's role."
"Lin Yuan? That's impossible. Lin Yuan himself is too busy to keep up with his schedule. Things are different now."
As a result, on this day, the production team of "Killing" announced the cast.
Two or three places behind Li Mobei was a familiar name.
"??? Kobayashi??? Kangaroo???"
"...Why is it you again? But seeing Lin Yuan's name, I'm not surprised at all."
"Ahhhhh, the 'Thousand Mountains' group is reunited!! Hahaha, Li Mobei posted on Weibo, saying that he invited Xiao Lin! The last sentence of the post even included a sentimental remark—'He's such a nice person.'"
"This is your true experience, isn't it, Li Mobei? Tsk tsk tsk."
After the broadcast of "The Powerful Minister", Lin Yuan and He Xun gradually had more interactions and interactions. Li Mobei, on the other hand, gave the public a rather aloof impression. After the two of them shot a cover together, they did not have much public interaction.
At the time, some marketing accounts spread rumors that Li Mobei and Lin Yuan had fallen out, that Lin Yuan turned his back on Li Mobei after becoming famous, and that the "Thousand Mountains" production team only worked to get Lin Yuan to win awards, ignoring Li Mobei.
Lin Yuan: "...Shall I buy you an orange as an apology?"
"Don't move, I'll buy it for you."
After some back and forth, both of them sensed a strong sense of malice in the other's words.
Neither Lin Yuan nor Li Mobei offered any explanation for the posts published by the marketing accounts.
Neither of them are the type to enjoy marketing; they let others write whatever they want, and they've both heard plenty of bad things about each other anyway.
Besides, the description of "good relationship" needs to be proven. Are the two of them going to post their WeChat chat history?
Lin Yuan's rescue of "Killing" this time needs no further explanation; everyone knows that Li Mobei called him over.
Where have all those people who said the two of them were at odds gone?
"They'll stop at nothing to smear Lin Yuan, always saying he's arrogant. But let me ask you, your company is already at the top of the ratings, would you still be willing to help out with a cameo role?"
"Kangaroo people are really nice—Li Mobei said."
Lin Yuan's past behavior of being a "very nice person" was brought up once again.
Lin Yuan's role in saving the day with "Killing" means he has another film project.
He plans to film two TV series this year, but movies are not in his plans. Lin Yuan hasn't decided which one to take on yet, but according to Feng Zeng, he has already received many offers from production teams.
Feng had tried his best to choose some bright and sunny themes for him, and it is said that there was also a book on boxing.
"That's what you call matching your major to your job."
Lin Yuan: "..."
He did go to the boxing gym that Yu Ying recommended, but he hadn't honed his skills enough before coming here to film "Mandala".
Lin Yuan would continue to practice in private, but there was no way around it, as Yu Ying was urging him on, and this lady would always ask about Lin Yuan's practice progress from time to time.
Lin Yuan tried to shift the blame by introducing the boxing gym to He Xun, arguing that He Xun looked even weaker than him.
It is said that Yu Ying sometimes inquires about He Xun's progress, and Lin Yuan is satisfied with this.
As for the boxing-themed film, Lin Yuan hesitated and rejected it repeatedly. One reason was that the script was of mediocre quality and did not meet Lin Yuan's expectations. There were better works in the same genre, and compared with that one, the storyline of the script he was invited to write was too weak.
Boxing needs a reason too. While it may be easy for someone to start this career, making a movie about it requires a deeper theme.
Lin Yuan doesn't need to rush; he has more time to choose more and more suitable scripts.
...
Filming for "Mandala" is still ongoing. Halfway through filming, the crew of "Killing" left, and Lin Yuan's plan to get some oranges from Li Mobei completely failed. As a result, he will never get to see Li Mobei's sallow face again.
Li Mobei: "...Let's look at something good."
Lin Yuan: "...I won't allow you to deny yourself like that."
Li Mobei: "..."
A well-known actor couldn't help but sigh, saying that he still misses the innocent and naive Lin Yuan from their first filming days.
Lin Yuan: "? Naïve and innocent? You forgot we were gossiping about everything on set..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Mobei threw another orange at him.
As an actor, Li Mobei's output is not high. "Killing" is his second starring film after "Thousand Mountains", and he just happened to meet Lin Yuan.
At other times, he lives a secluded life, leading a "simple and low-key" life in the public's perception.
But Lin Yuan felt that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, life would be one of "secretly eating oranges."
This person eats oranges for at least eight months of the year and lives a secluded life because his face is too yellow to film, unless the production team wants to make it an Egyptian-themed project.
Li Mobei threw another orange at him: "Eat it quickly, you talk too much."
Lin Yuan understood; the truth was that he had indeed guessed the lifestyle of a certain famous male actor.
...
As filming of "Mandala" entered its mid-stage, Lin Yuan and another actress in the crew, Yuan Yuan, had more scenes together.
Han Shen met his love.
To be precise, love briefly opened a door for him, which he then closed without hesitation.
The girl he liked was probably unaware of the resolute thoughts hidden beneath Han Shen's gentle exterior, and she was trying to save him.
Han Shen said he didn't want to.
However, even someone who allowed himself to live in darkness had his own longings for warmth; he simply dared not approach it.
He worried that he was becoming so engrossed in love that he forgot about revenge, and that his blood would warm up and he would lose his coldness.
He will never give up revenge, even if it means losing himself and everything else.
Han Wen was willing to get involved and become entangled in it, and all Han Shen was thinking was—at worst, I'll just die first.
He was certain he would die before his sister; he had already made preparations for it.
Today's scene mainly focuses on Han Shen's thoughts after rejecting the girl.
"start!"
After Zhong Xinghai announced the start, the actors took their positions.
Looking at the girl across from him, crying and telling him not to go any further and to turn back, Han Shen's eyes also reddened.
This was the first time Han Shen shed tears in the entire script of "Mandala".
Whether it was the lawyer's death or the villain's family being caught in a media storm, Han Shen showed no emotional fluctuations, as if it had nothing to do with him.
But now, he is betraying someone who truly loves him.
Han Shen also knew that if he missed today, he would probably never meet such a person again, and his life would only enter endless darkness.
But he still pushed the light away.
“In my life, there is nothing I cannot lose.” A tear rolled down my cheek. “From the very beginning, it never belonged to me.”
The girl couldn't stop him and had to leave.
So she didn't see that what Han Shen's pupils reflected at this moment was not the usual indifference, nor a half-smile that seemed to mock humanity.
Only tears.
Han Shen is a part of Han Shen, and this is fully expressed through his tears, which flow more and more. This is a scene that only appears once in "Mandala".
Shi Ran: "..."
What kind of god can cry so easily?
The key point is that, in her hands, Lin Yuan's crying scenes are incredibly moving; at that moment, the other person is definitely not Lin Yuan, but truly Han Shen.
Han Shen's emotions are constantly revealed through his words, his body language, and his tears.
Han Shen is saying goodbye to the people who love him, but at the same time, he is also saying goodbye to the chance to turn back.
He can't turn back; he can only keep moving forward and will only pay a higher price.
Although she knew perfectly well that Lin Yuan was just acting, Shi Ran still felt a tightness in her chest.
"Mandala" is not an ordinary love story. Emotions are only briefly mentioned, far less dramatic than those stories that drag on for dozens of episodes, depicting dramatic changes in life and love. Han Shen and the girl who likes him never even got together.
However, Shi Ran felt that it was too arbitrary to conclude from this that Han Shen did not love the other party, or that his feelings for her were not deep at all.
Looking at the other person's tears at this moment, who can say for sure that they don't love them?
Even though she was just an observer, she was still very sad.
When Shi Ran saw this part of the script, she didn't feel a strong emotional response. This part of the story was short and mainly focused on Han Shen, not Han Wen, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Lin Yuan's performance brought the otherwise ordinary words in the script to life.
He brought the whole story to life.
Shi Ran was certain that if Lin Yuan could move even her, a fellow actor, he would surely be able to move the audience as well.
The scene doesn't explicitly depict Han Shen walking into darkness, but Lin Yuan's performance gives that feeling.
With revenge drawing ever closer to success, Han Shen should have been wearing a triumphant smile of victory.
But he didn't laugh.
If he had remained cold-blooded throughout, "Mandala" could have been considered a satisfying drama. However, Han Shen is a living, breathing person with his own will, and no one's life is a satisfying drama.
Only Han Shen himself knows what he gave up and what he lost.
It can be said that the atmosphere of "Mandala" changes constantly with Lin Yuan's performance.
"How hard do I have to work to reach this level?" Shi Ran exclaimed.
"As long as it's not too far off, I've already seen through it." Yuan Yuan patted Shi Ran's shoulder. "I almost lost my composure just now, and I almost said, 'Don't go, come back here!'"
"I also……"
The key point is that, as one of the few big names in the "Mandala" crew, Lin Yuan himself is very down-to-earth.
As soon as the director says "Action," this person can seamlessly switch to a state of explosive acting.
Shi Ran even felt that Lin Yuan was the kind of actor who performed better the more difficult the filming was.
It's incredibly strong.
...
As usual, after finishing today's scenes, Lin Yuan walked towards the hotel. Recently, the filming of "Mandala" has been wrapping up quite early. Feng Zeng wasn't there today, and Lin Yuan only had an assistant with him.
He doesn't need anyone to accompany him; the hotel is nearby, just a short walk away.
It wasn't dark yet.
As the temperature gradually rose, it got dark later and later. Lin Yuan was thinking about what takeout to eat that night when the accident happened.
An iron bar flashed before Lin Yuan's eyes. He didn't think much of it at first, until the person wielding the iron bar suddenly rushed up and Lin Yuan heard the sound of the other person running.
Lin Yuan had taken timely precautions, but his thigh still took a hit.
The pain was so intense he wanted to jump up on the spot.
The person he is most grateful to now is Yu Ying.
Thanks to Yu Ying for getting him to sign up for the boxing gym, Lin Yuan was at the peak of his physical strength. The attacker was obviously not a professional either, and his physical strength was far inferior to Lin Yuan's.
Lin Yuan kicked the iron bar aside and subdued the man. By this time, the rest of the "Mandala" crew had already noticed him.
Lin Yuan was taken to the hospital, grimacing in pain.
That night, the trending topics exploded.
In the first ten miles, the name Lin Yuan appeared in seven of them.
