In the time remaining, Lin Cheng still needed to film two more solo scenes.

The first solo scene was shot at night, and it was the part where ‘Lin Annan’ took a cruise ship overnight to come to the motherland.

He returned to his motherland at the invitation and encouragement of his good friends. When he looked out at the war-torn motherland and the displaced compatriots from across the bank, the industrialist’s eyes showed uncontrollable anger and hotbloodedness for the first time

Such an emotional change was not easy to act, not to mention that Lin Cheng was not a professional actor and has not experienced any professional training.

Therefore, when filming this section, Director Liu spent a long time talking to Lin Cheng about the scene, and also invited several veteran actors from the crew as aid. After several attempts, Lin Cheng finally completed this section of the shoot.

Although Lin Cheng’s performance in this section cannot be said to be amazing, it was still noteworthy.

… …

It was almost two o’clock in the morning when the crew finished work.

Lin Cheng returned from the filming location outside to the designated rest area next to the studio. Lin Momo did not listen obediently to Lin Cheng’s words to go back to their temporary room and sleep after eating. Instead she stayed in the rest area and huddled up on the seat, covered by a small blanket that the crew found for her.

“Sorry to trouble you,” Lin Cheng walked over and thanked the staff.

Hearing this, the staff quickly waved their hands and said, “No trouble, she is very good.”

Lin Momo did not run around in the crew like some other children. Lin Cheng asked her to be good, and she was good. Sitting quietly on a chair in the rest area, holding a notebook and pen, muttering about settling accounts.

It was only that…

“I originally wanted to take her to go to bed, but she simply refused to leave. She said she must wait until you finish filming,” the staff said.

“Also,” the staff handed another lunch box to Lin Cheng, “This is what she said she would leave for you.” 

This was the working meal prepared for the crew for the evening. Because she thought the barbecued pork buns were delicious, Lin Mo Mo specially saved some for Lin Cheng.

Because the shooting time in the evening was very tight, Lin Cheng and the others did not stay with the crew for dinner.

Lin Cheng nodded, took the lunch box from the staff with one hand, and leaned over to lift Lin Momo with one hand.

Suddenly being picked up, Lin Momo woke up for a moment, but through her still-sleepy eyes, she seemed to recognize Lin Cheng. Lin Momo said ‘hello’, rubbed her face against Lin Cheng, and continued to sleep.

This time, Lin Momo slept peacefully.

The staff on the side couldn’t help but smile when they saw this.

“Generally, children are more clingy to their mothers and not many are so clingy to their fathers. It seems like you take care of her more, right?” the staff member said casually.

Hearing this, Lin Cheng was indeed slightly startled.

Lin Momo didn’t have a mother, so her behavior was actually more of lack of security.

Lin Cheng didn’t explain and simply said, “She takes care of herself more often.”

……

As soon as Lin Cheng said this, the audience who still insisted on watching the livestream this late jumped out:

[Lin Cheng said this. It makes me inexplicably sad.]

[Celebrities are so busy, they probably have little time to take care of their families.]

[But wasn’t Lin Cheng’s career very muddled before?]

[You have to make money to support your family, right? Don’t think that only popular celebrities are busy. I heard that these outdated celebrities actually have a harder time working. Because they earn less money, they have to take all kinds of jobs.]

[No wonder Momo feels so independent…]

… …

Back to the room temporarily arranged for them by the crew, Lin Cheng put Lin Momo down and opened the lunch box she left for him.

Inside were two buns, one of which was missing a corner.

It can be seen that after Lin Momo took a small bite of this bun, she tore off a small part of it with her hands for fear of being disliked.

As for the other complete bun, the crew probably saw how she was picking at her bun and couldn’t bear it so the gave her another one.

After being left out for several hours, the two buns were already stone cold. Still, Lin Cheng ate both buns without hesitation.

The next day, the crew continued filming.

Lin Cheng had a solo scene that was scheduled to be shot in the morning. This was also the last scene of ‘Lin Annan’ in the entire film. Director Liu gave it a day to shoot.

More than ten years after returning to the motherland, ‘Lin Annan’ has donated supplies to the war zone, purchased anti-inflammatory and hemostatic drugs from everywhere, took out loans from international banks in his own name, raised funds from chambers of commerce, and used his own cargo ship to support the army. ‘Lin Annan’, who was collecting supplies, had gray hair on his temples. He had taken off his old western-style suit and put on a straight and calm Chinese tunic.

At this time, he was signing a donation letter in his study: he would donate all the Lin family’s overseas production technology to the country, donate the Lin family’s domestic factories, materials and houses to the country, and return the national treasures he had collected and preserved to the nation.

… …

Although the entire filming process was censored, and the audience in the livestream channel could not see Lin Cheng’s specific performance, when Lin Cheng appeared in front of the camera wearing a Chinese tunic suit, the barrage area instantly became lively.

[Wow! Completely different from before!]

[Although he has been aged by makeup, Lin Cheng looks really handsome like this, old and handsome, and so elegant.]

[So handsome yet again]

[I feel that Lin Cheng is very suitable for this role.]

[And Lin Cheng’s appearance is very suitable for being an actor.]

[Haha, it makes sense, so why should Lin Cheng insist on being a singer when he has so many talents? He should turn to being an actor! ]

[That’s true, maybe as an actor he would have already become popular. ]

Just when everyone was talking about Lin Cheng as ‘an actor delayed by singing’, different voices also jumped out: 

[No, no, no, you obviously haven’t listened to Lin Cheng’s songs, they are so good! ]

[Although I didn’t know that Lin Cheng was so cool before , I listened to his songs on a small platform and they are really good!]
