What am I supposed to be filming, exactly?
Wu Mu was a bit confused.
Seeing him like this, Lin Qingyue laughed and said, "I'm not looking to film the story of the tree; I want to film your story."
"You don't need to think about what sort of personality the tree has or how it would react. Just think about yourself, what Wu Mu at the age of fifteen or sixteen would do if he received such a letter."
Speaking, she bluntly said, "Let's do this, we'll change the character's name from the tree to Wu Mu, so you won't have to worry about the tree anymore. From now on, the character will just be Wu Mu."
Change to Wu Mu?
"Are we supposed to call it by that name offscreen?" Wu Mu asked hesitantly.
"No, change it everywhere, even in the footage."
...Changing the character's name to the actor's real name on the spot really shows Director Lin's free-spirited style.
