The actor who plays the lame gang leader is in his thirties, has a background in martial arts, but his acting skills are mediocre, and he can only get these kinds of minor, extra roles.
He's settled down and started a family, and he's always presented himself as a good father in the industry. This is the first time he's challenged himself with this kind of role, and he finds it quite novel.
It's my first time having the opportunity to work with such a popular young star, and it would be a lie to say I wasn't excited. But the excitement I felt before couldn't compare to even a tenth of the excitement I felt now.
He had previously worried whether he could play a gay character well.
The director said there might be a sex scene, so be prepared.
He's quite old, and he finally managed to get in touch with Lao Liu, hoping to become famous overnight.
Let alone playing a gay character, he could even grit his teeth and play a serial killer.
However, if it's a boat scene, filmed on location, and he's not emotionally invested, then it would be awkward.
Before filming began, he even watched two movies to ensure he was sexually aroused.
The camera was in the distance, and the room was basically emptied. Only the two of them, lying in bed, knew each other's situation.
Yi Mu continued reciting his lines as if nothing had happened, even mimicking the panting during sex.
Veteran actors with more than a decade of acting experience were led astray by him and couldn't control themselves at all.
After the director yelled "cut," Yi Mu pulled up his pants, got out of bed, handed over the blanket, and smiled, "Brother, cover yourself up."
The actor gave him an awkward smile, covered his lower body with a pillow, and ran out in a disheveled state.
Old Liu walked to the bedside, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and asked Yi Mu if he wanted one too.
Yi Mu nodded, took the cigarette offered to him, lit it, and took two puffs.
Old Liu didn't hold back his high praise, saying, "Your performance exceeded my expectations. After filming wraps up, are you interested in acting again?"
Yi Mu stayed on set for half a month, filming seven or eight scenes. He had two more scenes to film before he finished shooting.
He had originally planned to take a break, but since Lao Liu had offered him a chance, he had to take advantage of it.
"I definitely have to come to Director Liu's movies."
Old Liu shook his head and gestured for him to go outside.
The room was too cramped, and with staff coming and going, it was difficult to talk to them.
Old Liu wanted to introduce Yi Mu to play the lead role in his son's new movie.
Old Liu's son is more famous than his father. Although he hasn't won many awards in China, he has won almost a grand slam of international awards.
Old Liu's son is a genius. In a market flooded with commercial films, it's amazing that his art films are still so popular.
His movies are good, and he's very selective when it comes to casting.
Popular celebrities like Yi Mu are not even on his radar.
The fact that Lao Liu was willing to introduce Yi Mu shows that he genuinely values Yi Mu's acting skills.
Yi Mu was very grateful to Lao Liu, and he put in even more effort in the following scenes.
On the day he finished filming, it rained heavily again, and the scenes he had prepared in advance could not be filmed. So Lao Liu simply treated the entire crew to a meal, which was also a way to celebrate Yi Mu's completion of filming.
The male actor who was acting opposite Leng Jia seemed to have a crush on her, constantly trying to please her, serving her food and shielding her from drinks at the dinner table.
I have a brand launch event to attend tomorrow, and I need to drive home from the suburbs overnight, which takes three hours, so I have to leave now.
Yi Mu went to say goodbye to Lao Liu.
Old Liu told him that someone would contact him about the movie.
Yi Mu thanked him, the two said goodbye, and Yi Mu and his group left the hotel.
The company's RV was parked outside, and a black Mercedes-Benz was parked behind it, its body looking particularly beautiful under the streetlights.
The assistant held an umbrella for Yi Mu, who casually glanced into the car and seemed to see Yan Sheng in the driver's seat.
In the blink of an eye, Bei Zhu urged him to get in the car quickly, as the rain was pouring down.
Yi Mu looked away, his shoes still wet from the rain, and got into the car.
