FV: Chapter 215

Wen Ziming quickly adjusted his state and started filming the scene with Lin Fei again.

This time, he was prepared in advance. Even if he saw Lin Fei performing calmly as if there was no camera, he only felt surprised in his heart and didn’t let it affect his performance.

Soon, it reached the part where Lin Fei locked him in the bathroom, placed the key in his pocket and said calmly, “You are too noisy. I will go to do my homework first. You can come out when I finish my homework.”

Wen Ziming kept banging on the bathroom door. “Hey, open the door for me. You little brat. Fu Xi, you are committing a bad act. Don’t you know that I am your uncle?”

Lin Fei ignored him and walked back expressionlessly, not caring about his yelling at all.

Director Li watched Lin Fei walk out of the camera and shouted, “Okay, it is over.”

Wen Ziming opened the door and walked out of the bathroom.

Lin Fei circled around and walked in front of Lin Luoqing.

“Good acting.” Lin Luoqing patted his head. “It is great.”

Director Li saw that way Lin Fei stood obediently beside Lin Luoqing without hiding and secretly thought that he also wanted to touch.

However, this child was too outrageous.

Director Li found it unbelievable. He had been filming for so many years and he had never seen any young actor who could pass the scene so quickly, especially against a Best Actor winner like Wen Ziming.

The moment Wen Ziming lifted him up in the middle according to the script, he was worried that Lin Fei would show a surprised expression or make a move that wasn’t in the script.

As a result, Lin Fei was speechless as written in the script.

He looked even more vivid than what was written in the script. He stared into Wen Ziming’s eyes and almost seemed to be saying directly, ‘Why are you so childish?’

It could be called an accurate and natural expression of Fu Xi’s precociousness, arrogance and calmness.

He was like this but Lin Luoqing was still worried and vaccinated him in advance. It was completely unnecessary!

Even if he wanted to give a warning, he should say that his Fei Fei’s acting skills were good and the director should be mentally prepared. Don’t be scared when the time came because Fei Fei wasn’t bad!

Director Li felt a bit sour. Which director wouldn’t like such a good seedling among actors?

Lin Fei was obviously the best one among them.

Even if the role of Fu Xi was played according to his true colors, his sense of the camera when moving and the way he faced the camera was something he just learned this afternoon.

Director Li only taught him once or twice before Lin Fei said he understood. At that time, Director Li hadn’t taken it too seriously. Practice made knowledge true and everything that was ‘understood’ without practice couldn’t be regarded as true understanding.

As a result, Lin Fei really understood. He walked steadily where the camera filmed and it was where he should go every time. He didn’t mess up once and the most important thing was that he was very natural. There wasn’t the slightest bit of restraint or exaggeration. It was as if he was really in his own home.

This sense of the camera was really rare. Too many people were skilled and natural while rehearsing in private, but the moment the camera turned on, they became nervous. They were unable to let go and act freely, making them unable to grasp the camera.

However, Lin Fei had no such problems at all.

If his alignment could be placed on his smartness and good memory then his sense of talent could only be called a talent he was born with.

If this was his nephew then he would definitely train him to be a future movie star.

Lin Luoqing didn’t know what Director Li was thinking at this time and was still busy praising Lin Fei’s performance.

He praised and praised before remembering something. He asked Lin Fei, “By the way, what did you say to Uncle Wei when ‘cut’ was called for the first time? I think the two of you talked for a while.”

Lin Fei said calmly, “It’s nothing. I told him not to be nervous.”

Lin Luoqing thought, ‘??? Huh?’

Lin Fei’s tone was light. “He said that he has a good relationship with you so I told him I can help him. He didn’t need to worry.”

Lin Luoqing thought, ‘…Ah, how can I tell you, little Fei Fei? This uncle is a movie king? Do you know what a movie king is?’

Lin Luoqing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Then what did he say?”

“He thanked me,” Lin Fei replied. “I said he was welcome. After all, he has a good relationship with you.”

Lin Luoqing, “……”

Lin Luoqing couldn’t help looking down and laughing.

Lin Fei was puzzled. “Why are you laughing?”

“Nothing.” Lin Luoqing’s eyes were full of joy and the tone of his voice was like he was filled with sugar. “I just think Fei Fei is cute. You are so cute, kind and helpful.”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help rubbing Lin Fei’s face.

Lin Fei, “……”

Lin Fei took a step back in embarrassment. There were so many people.

Lin Luoqing saw his red face and felt he was funny and cute.

Wen Ziming also came over at this time. The moment he came over, he saw Lin Fei’s red face and knew it must’ve been rubbed by Lin Luoqing.

Ah, he really wanted to rub it as well.

He tentatively reached out his hand. Lin Fei immediately turned his head away and Wen Ziming had to retract his hand. Sure enough, only the uncle outside the movie could rub it.

“Luoqing, you aren’t sincere.” Wen Ziming turned to look at Lin Luoqing.

Lin Luoqing looked innocent. “What do you mean, Brother Wen?”

“What did you say before? You said your nephew hasn’t acted before and asked me to help take care of him. Do you often act secretly with him at home and accompany him to the school’s June 1st performance?”

Lin Luoqing shook his head. “You are wronging me. I obviously filmed with you in the crew on June 1st. How could I have time to act secretly at home with him?”

“So he is really filming for the first time?” Wen Ziming was shocked. “Based on the way he performed, does it look like his first time?”

Lin Luoqing thought, ‘…He does seem really comfortable, but this is really his first time, Brother.’

“It is really the first time,” Lin Luoqing said sincerely. “He has never even seen the camera before.”

Wen Ziming, “!!!”

Wen Ziming turned to look at Lin Fei in shock. Lin Fei’s face had no fluctuations, just like the surface of a lake in winter.

Wen Ziming was dumbfounded. ‘…Is this the legendary talented actor? A genius actor?’

Don’t delay your child from aiming for the award. Choose a suitable script for him today and he will be the youngest Best Actor winner tomorrow!

Isn’t this more suitable than him going to school?!

“Have you ever considered letting your nephew inherit his uncle’s business?” Wen Ziming suggested seriously. “With his acting skills, talent, face and your identity as his uncle, he will have a bright future.”

Lin Luoqing smiled. “Then forget it. Fei Fei prefers to read books so it is fine to go to school like other children. He just came to see me during the summer vacation and happened to be seen by the assistant director. Thus, he accepted a temporary summer job. Once this summer vacation is over, he still has to go back to school.”

Wen Ziming thought, ‘That’s right. He is still first in the year. Then he really can’t give up his studies.’

However, it was really rare for a child to be able to act so smoothly and naturally in the beginning. Even his line speaking abilities were good. Maybe this was the artistic talent of the Lin family.

He said a few more words to Lin Luoqing before looking toward Director Li, waiting for his next arrangement.

Director Li had left enough time for Lin Fei and Wen Ziming’s rivalry scene because he was afraid that Lin Fei wouldn’t act well. Now Lin Fei and Wen Ziming had completely passed and the afternoon had just begun. He couldn’t just let them finish work, right?

Director Li thought about it. In any case, Lin Fei had memorized all of Fu Xi’s lines. Then bring up the next few scenes and let him continue to film other scenes.

He spoke with Wen Ziming and Lin Fei. The two of them had no opinion and it was finalized.

Lin Fei was very cooperative throughout the process. He wasn’t noisy or troublesome. He acted seriously in every scene.

The more and more Director Li watched, the more Director Li liked him. It would be good if all children could film like this!

Lin Luoqing watched him film for the entire afternoon and felt sorry for him. He asked the assistant to buy fruit tea and desserts and waited to give it to Lin Fei once he finished.

Lin Luoqing had never been a stingy person so he simply had the assistant buy more at once and treated all of the crew to milk tea.

Ji Leyu held his fruit tea and watched Lin Fei and Wen Ziming act while drinking.

He watched all afternoon and was more and more sure that Lin Fei was playing Lin Fei. Then he just needed to play himself at the time.

“Uncle.” He asked Lin Luoqing, “When are you acting?”

He blinked his beautiful eyes. “When am I going to act with you?”

Lin Luoqing, “……”

Lin Luoqing waited until Lin Fei and Wen Ziming finished filming. He handed the fruit tea to Lin Fei, gave a cup of milk tea to Wen Ziming and silently sneaked next to Director Li to ask him about Ji Leyu.

Director Li had already seriously thought about this matter.

“I won’t let him play the background board,” he said. “I have an idea. I will go back and talk to the screenwriter tonight. If there are no problems, I will change it and give him the salary of a child actor.”

Lin Luoqing was surprised. “Really?”

“Yes. He looks so good and it is a pity for him to just be a backdrop. It is better to let him stand in front of the camera. Maybe there will be another discussion point when the time comes.”

“Thank you so much.”

Director Li smiled. “It is because he looks good. If he didn’t look good then I definitely wouldn’t give him a chance to show his face in vain.”

As he spoke, he was quite envious of Lin Luoqing. “Your two nephews are really well-behaved. I have filmed with so many child stars who are this age but the two of them are the most obedient and least noisy ones. In particular, Fei Fei acts quite decently. Why did you tell me before not to scold him? You said he hasn’t acted before and was very worried. Isn’t this too hypocritical? At this time, you are acting humble again?”

Lin Luoqing smiled. “It is because he really hasn’t acted before. I was afraid you would scold him.”

“Am I such a picky person?”

“Of course not.”

“That’s good.”

Director Li said as he turned to look at Lin Fei. “But he really looks like Fu Xi.”

Then he turned his head again and teased Lin Luoqing on purpose. “It is more similar than you.”

‘…Okay, I can see that this is the real white moonlight in your heart. I am just a stand-in who looks a bit like him.’

“Then congratulations on finding your white moonlight true love.”

Director Li laughed. “You seem to be the stand-in.”

“Isn’t it? You always say ‘You don’t look like him.’ You haven’t said that to Fei Fei, have you?”

Director Li smiled even happier. “That’s true.”

He patted Lin Luoqing’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, I still have a lot of feelings for you as a stand-in.”

Lin Luoqing said, “…Then I thank you.”

Lin Fei filmed until 6 o’clock in the evening before finishing work. He was still young and today’s task volume had already exceeded the standard, so Director Li waved his big hand and let him and Wen Ziming rest early. He told Lin Luoqing as well, “You can also go back.”

Lin Fei was delighted. He thought in his heart that after this filming, his salary should arrive.

“Goodbye, Teacher Fei Fei.” Wen Ziming deliberately teased him. “I’ll see you tomorrow. Remember to help me, Fei Fei~”

Lin Fei nodded. “Yes.”

“Then how can I thank Teacher Fei Fei?”

“No need,” Lin Fei said coldly.

“Teacher Fei Fei is really good. Can Teacher Fei Fei give me a hug?” Wen Ziming continued asking.

Lin Fei, “……”

Lin Fei felt that this person was too clingy. Wen Ziming previously wanted to touch his head and now wanted to hug him.

“You hugged me in the scene.”

“If I hug you in the scene, can I not hug you outside the scene?”

“Yes.”

Wen Ziming was dumbfounded. ‘…You really don’t hesitate. It is too heart-wrenching.’

Wen Ziming collected his broken heart and said goodbye. Then he left with his agent and assistant.

Director Li smiled. “I haven’t hugged you in the movie. Can I hug you outside the movie?”

Lin Fei, “???”

Why did this person want to hug him too?!

Oh, he remembered. The director wanted to rub his hair before.

Lin Fei refused. He turned his head and walked toward Lin Luoqing.

Director Li was dumbfounded. ‘…So sometimes it isn’t good to be too much like Fu Xi.’

Child, you are too cool!

Lin Luoqing saw Lin Fei walking over with an indifferent expression and handed the dessert he bought for Lin Fei.

He blew the small fan for Lin Fei and asked him, “Are you tired?”

Lin Fei shook his head.

Lin Luoqing approached him. “What do you want to eat? We will eat what you want to eat.”

Lin Fei thought about it and told him, “Sweet and sour pork ribs.”

“Okay.” Lin Luoqing agreed.

He talked to Director Li and returned to the hotel with Ji Yuxiao and the two children.

Lin Fei was worried about his salary. When he finished eating, Ji Yuxiao was busy working so he quietly went to Lin Luoqing’s bedroom.

“What’s wrong, Baby?” Lin Luoqing sat up and looked at him curiously.

He shook the phone in his hand. “Do you want to see it? The scenes you filmed today?”

Lin Fei shook his head without showing any interest.

There was only one thing he cared about. “What about my salary?”

“It has been sent.” Lin Luoqing reached out and took Lin Fei into his arms. “It was sent yesterday. They sent half first and the other half will be sent when you finish filming.”

Lin Fei was relieved.

Lin Luoqing saw his appearance of thinking about his salary. He thought it was Lin Fei’s first time making money, so he was obsessed with the fruits of his labor and afraid that if he didn’t pay attention, the money from this part-time job would be gone.

“Don’t worry,” Lin Luoqing said with a smile. “I will help you mind your money and won’t lose it. Once your salary is fully paid, you can buy some books or models that you like. The rest of the money can be saved so you can use it whenever you want in the future.”

“No need,” Lin Fei refused. “You take it.”

“How can that be?” Lin Luoqing placed an arm around him. “Your money might be in my card but that is because you are young and can’t apply for a card yourself. I opened one for you, but it is actually your money. I am just your piggy bank.”

Lin Fei raised his clear eyes. There was inconspicuous tenderness in them and his tone was soft. There was a slight joy contained in them and his voice was light and clear. “Pocket money.”

He continued, “You don’t have to give it to me. This is my pocket money for you.”

Lin Luoqing was confused. ‘??? Eh?’

Lin Fei saw his surprised look and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. There was a bit of pride in his eyes. “I said it before. Once I grow up and make money, I will give you pocket money. Now I have made money, so I will give you pocket money.”

“You can use the pocket money to buy something you like,” Lin Fei said. “Whether it is books, models, etc.”

He imitated Lin Luoqing’s words. Then he remembered something and added, “In addition, clothes and anything else that adults like.”

“You buy it first.” His voice was soft. “I will make more money in the future and give you pocket money. You can buy more of what you like.”

Lin Luoqing listened to this and realized it. “Is that why you wanted to film? Is it in order to make money and give me pocket money?”

He was surprised. “Then you don’t like it? Or did you want to experience what it is like to make money by yourself?”

Lin Fei didn’t speak and awkwardly refused to admit it.

“I’m going back.” He finished speaking and was ready to get off Lin Luoqing’s lap.

Lin Luoqing naturally couldn’t let him leave at this time. He hugged Lin Fei and kissed him on the face a few times.

“Fei Fei, you are such an angel child. It is too heartwarming.”

Lin Luoqing was really moved. He never expected this to be the reason why Lin Fei agreed to act. It was obvious that Lin Fei wasn’t interested in anything other than studying and reading books. How could he suddenly be willing to act? It turned out to be like this.

He rubbed his face against Lin Fei’s and pressed tightly against his soft cheeks. He hugged Lin Fei and swayed gently. “Why are you so good? You are simply the best baby in the world. Dad is so happy.”

Lin Luoqing’s heart softened. His eyes were sour and he almost cried.

Previously when he talked to Lin Fei about pocket money, he was just teasing. He had wanted to get closer to Lin Fei. He never thought that Lin Fei always remembered this and worked hard to do it.

Where in the world did a child give pocket money to an adult?

It was only his silly little Fei Fei who really wanted to give him pocket money.

Lin Luoqing’s heart softened instantly and he wished to take Lin Fei into his heart.

How could Lin Fei do this?

This was such a foul. How could he bear this?

He hugged tighter and tighter, causing Lin Fei slight pain.

Lin Fei waited a while but Lin Luoqing didn’t speak or smile. This made him look at the other person doubtfully. “Don’t you like it?”

Lin Luoqing shook his head. He hugged Lin Fei and gave him a very loud kiss on the face.

His heart was overflowing and he was moved by his love for Lin Fei. He even felt it was lucky to meet a child like him.

How could there be such a gentle and caring child in this world?

What could he do?

How did Lin Luoqing deserve him?

“It isn’t that I don’t like it. I’m just too happy.” He smiled and kissed Lin Fei again. He pressed their foreheads together, his eyes shining as they reflected the little Lin Fei. “I must be the happiest father in the world because you are my baby. You are unique and a little baby that only belongs to this family!”

“I’m so happy!”

Lin Fei thought, ‘…I don’t quite understand why he feels this way, but as long as he is happy.’

Lin Fei thought so while feeling inexplicable joy creeping into his heart. It was like reeds in the sun, fluffy and blowing in the breeze. The reeds gently tickled his heart, warm and pleasant.

‘As long as he is happy,’ he thought.
