Chapter 65: You have been confirmed

The first thing Xu Lin rehearsed was the first scene, which was the scene where he was bullied. Because he couldn't finish filming today, he only had to film this part today.

Then the rest of Chu Qingchan's enlightenment as a teacher and changes in personality will be left to tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Of course, according to the situation, if today's shooting is fast, then the filming task will end in two days; if it's slow, then it's not accurate.

After the scenes, props, and lighting were arranged, Xu Lin was placed on a bench and began to adjust his state.

The character he plays is a very introverted boy with a bit of an ear problem and a bit of an inferiority complex who likes the main female character, who had just been deaf-mute.

This is the scene where he hears a couple of bad boys laughing at the heroine, and then he says a fair word, and then gets into an argument and gets beaten up.

He closed his eyes as he searched the status on his phone and also let out a deep breath as he began to will himself to emotionally adjust to the past.

Or maybe it's just good to recall his past self, his own elementary school, junior high school. When he was in elementary school and junior high school, apart from having no ear problems, he was an autistic child.

The state wasn't slow to enter, and in a few seconds, a heavy, agitated, and annoying feeling rose up.

"Click!"

But the director shouted violently, interrupting his mood. He raised his head and looked towards the director, but the director looked towards Ma Wen and the others who are not far away.

"What's wrong with you guys?"

"Director Sun?"

"Ma Wen, you need to look nasty; why are you walking so girly?!"

The director also directly sprayed. Ma Wen also had a black face; he hated it when people said he was effeminate, but he didn't dare to spray back.

After all, the other party is Sun Jian, who is famous for his talent and temper. Although he has many fans now, the company also recommended him.

But the company absolutely will not help him because of his own displeasure. Laozi endure!

But along with him nodding his head and the anger in his heart, instantly his expression and pace became much more in line with his persona.

"That'll do; that's the energy; remember how you feel right now!"

"Xu Lin, just keep up the form; not bad!"

The nearby Chu Qingchan and Chu Fengyi looked at Xu Lin and instantly felt that he was in this state; it's very good, and it allows people to feel the character of the person he is now.

Then it was Ma Wen who came over and started to accidentally create a bit of conflict with him, and Xu Lin's lines were relatively simple.

Then the dialogue began, but not yet two lines. The other party abruptly stopped and then took out the line book and looked at it twice.

In this way, after intermittently pairing what was supposed to be a dozen or so lines, the other party looked at the line book a total of 10 times, which means you damn well haven't memorised a single line.

"Okay, Ma Wen, go and memorize your lines for me. You only have two scenes. Can't you remember your lines in the first scene?!"

The director was also unforgiving, and Xu Lin was also a bit giving up on the fact that he had just met with the other party, the two words 'and kind'.

"Xu Lin, come over here."

"Yes."

He arrived next to the director, and Sun Jian also patted his shoulder, the coldness on his face instantly dispersing and turning into gentleness.

"Not bad, Xu Lin."

"It's good that the director feels there's nothing wrong."

"The lines are memorised very skillfully; when he said something wrong, you were able to quickly change it to keep up; your expression and emotions can still be maintained; is this really your first time shooting a scene?"

"Really, first time, but it hasn't officially come yet. Under the camera, maybe I won't be able to hold it together."

Xu Lin was also very modest. Sun Jian nodded his head again and glanced at screenwriter Hei on the side; he was also full of happiness at this time.

"Kid, when you finish filming this scene, I have something to talk to you about."

"Ok." 

Although he didn't know what the screenwriter was looking for him for, he still agreed first.

Afterwards, Xu Lin matched lines with the other party two or three more times, and then he officially started filming because there was a scene to be filmed in the afternoon, so he tried his best to settle this part in the morning.

After the official shooting, Xu Lin faced the lights and cameras around him, but he wasn't so nervous; on the contrary, he was a bit excited.

Although Ma Wen is the kind of idol he dislikes the most, his acting has not reached the level of 12345 lines, so he still memorized it seriously.

So, after the two had scenes 2 or 3 more times, they also passed straight through, and the drag queens who had just 'beaten' him together with Ma Wen also helped him up together.

"You acted like you were being beaten, scaring us into thinking that we accidentally really hurt you."

"Haha, Brother Xu acted well."

"Having been beaten often, one knows how to be real."

Xu Lin said, glancing at Chu Fengyi, then realising that Chu Fengyi wasn't looking at him or playing with her phone, but rather squinting her eyes as if she were thinking about something.

It can't be thinking about something strange; looking at the situation this morning, she should have calmed down; maybe I'm overthinking it.

After chatting with a few young actors, he also came to the director's side, where the screenwriter Hei was holding a laptop and typing rapidly.

"Do you know what Old Hei is looking for you for?"

"I don't know, is it to change the lines? Then I'll go back today and memorise them."

"No, no, it's a good thing." The director looked at Xu Lin, and at this time, the more he looked at him, the more he felt that this young man was good. Old Hei has a good eye.

Good-looking, acting skills are also very good; the main thing is that the attitude is very good; the Chu Qingchan he knows; the boys that she can feel good about; the character must also be good.

So if Old Hei really wants to use him, he thinks it's also a good choice, but it's true that he's never acted before and his lines are dry.

"By the way, your acting is good, but your lines are a bit dry; did you notice?"

"Dry? Please advice me."

"It's that your expressions and emotions are all very real and very capable of driving the emotions, but the lines are dry; you've intentionally packed the emotions in."

When the other party said this, Xu Lin was also stunned and recalled that when he was acting, he did find that when he went into continuous lines.

He then started to intentionally bring emotions into it in order to appear to shoot it out nicely, but it was precisely this mindset of his that made his tone fall back on falsehood.

"It looks like you got my point; no, that state of mind just now when you were righting your lines was good."

"Sorry, I had a thought." Screenwriter Hei, who had been typing, also looked up and put his computer aside.

"Sit down; there's something to discuss with you."

"Yes."

"Do you want to act?"

"Aren't I acting right now?"

"No, no, I mean, being the lead, acting."

"I'm just an average student; I'm okay for short films, but for real movies and stuff, I'm really not good; screenwriters Hei thinks really high of me."

"No,, actors with poor acting skills can be tuned up, but actors who don't fit the role, even if their acting skills are good, the performance is still weird."

"But I..."

"You don't have to think about rejecting or anything for now; I've got you built in. And you don't have to worry about academics or anything like that; I can talk to the school for you."

"..."

Xu Lin was instantly a bit confused. What had he done for the other party to take a liking to him? His acting skills can't be said to be very good.

His face value isn't that great; at least his charisma value hasn't reached 9 points, so what exactly did he see in him?

"I also saw a suitable heroine for me; can you help me introduce a little?"

"Who?"

"It's Ms. Chu Qingchan's sister."

"She...you can't look for her." Xu Lin instantly imagined the scene where Chu Fengyi is killing and beating people.

"I know she is a rich lady, but you can help me introduce to her. I have to give it a try."

"...Eh, okay, but you don't want to make her angry."

"Haha, how could I make a little girl angry."

"I didn't mean that ..."
