Chapter 161  161 – Inspiration!

While I was acting with the other actors, I had to admit that the technical level of their acting was very high.

Even though my acting skill had gone up another level and reached Lv 29, I could see how big the difference was between my acting level and that of actors like Laura, Julia, Phil, and Edward.

Of all the actors who participated in the scenes today, these four were the ones who surprised me the most with their quality.

And that says more about Laura than the other actors.

The fact that she was in the D-rank while having the same technical level of acting as the top C-rank artists and even B-rank artists showed how good she was and how badly her career was managed so that she didn’t grow.

Because it wasn’t that she wasn’t beautiful and had to play supporting roles… no, Laura was very beautiful, to the point that if she could show 100% of her abilities, I was sure she would get the leading role in several movies or series, but there was something wrong with her career that prevented her from growing, not to mention the traumas she had that showed how mentally broken she had become.

Fortunately, when I was involved in the filming, Laura was able to show much more of her acting ability than when I was just watching.

Having me on the set was something that gave Laura a lot more strength and confidence to continue acting.

Whenever she started to get nervous, Laura would quickly look at me and I would see her instantly return to a very high level of acting.

Apparently Angelina noticed this as well, but she didn’t care and let it be categorized as something from Harley’s character.

Since my character was secondary, my participation in the episode wasn’t that important, from time to time there were some scenes where I had to record interactions with characters like Martha and Steve about how they were worried about Harley’s boyfriend, where Martha was trying to convince Steve to act tough with me, to enforce the respect that a father-in-law should have.

But Steve was a very nice guy and couldn’t act that way.

Whenever he tried to be tough with Jack, Jack would say something nice that made Steve like him even more, so over the course of the episode the two began to develop a friendship that surprised even Harley.

“Don’t you know how to fish?!” Steve asked in shock as he worked the grill.

“Nah, my dad never took me fishing…” Jack replied a little disappointed as he held up a glass of soda and looked away ruefully.

As soon as Steve heard this, his eyes began to shine with excitement and he quickly approached Jack and said. “Then let’s go fishing together! I’ll teach you how to fish! We’ll stay in the boat and watch the bobbers in the pond go up, down, up, down, up, down…”

That part of his sentence where he talked about fishing bobbers was something completely improvised, but it fit the character very well.

Hearing this, Harley was shocked and looked at her father in shock.

Martha’s face fell and she shook her head, knowing that there was no way she was going to ask Steve to be hard on Jack when they were already getting along so well.

With Steve’s invitation, I let my face show an excited expression, but the level of excitement I showed was very different from what Jack must have felt when he heard that Steve was going to take him fishing.

This caused Angelina, who was watching, to not understand and was about to ask for the scene to be cut, but Phil was quicker and asked directly.

“Are you that excited about going fishing?” Steve asked in surprise as he put his hand on my shoulder.

“No… it’s just that hearing you talk about fishing bobbers going up, down, up, down gave me the inspiration for a song!” I replied in surprise.

This was both about Jack, the character I played in the show, and about me, Noah Black, hearing the character ‘Steve’ talk about taking Jack fishing and his line reminding me of a very famous song from my previous world.

This song didn’t really fit Jack because it was a country song, but there was a way I could adapt the original song into a more rock version and surprisingly make a rock song with a fishing theme!

When Phil noticed that I was going into improvisation because of the improvisation he’d done, he quickly picked it up and stayed in character. “What song?”

“A song about fishing…the way you talked about the bobbers in the pond going up, down, up, down, up, down…the rhythm of that gave me the inspiration for a fishing song.” I explained and continued.

Since Angelina didn’t ask us to cut the scene, we just kept improvising.

Fortunately, Jack had a character and a backstory very similar to mine, so it was much easier for me to play him.

The difficulty in improvisation was mainly with Phil and the other characters who had to interact with me.

Fortunately, they were all very talented and none of them broke character.

“Really?! You came up with a song based on what I said?!” Steve asked, getting even more excited. “How about you sing it for me?! If the song is good, we can listen to it while we’re fishing!”

“Sure!” I replied, demonstrating Jack’s happiness at having captured the inspiration and music he’d been looking for since he arrived on the scene.

“And… cut!” Angelina shouted, causing everyone to sigh, finally able to relax and get out of character.

I noticed that even Phil sighed and looked at me in surprise.

“Hey Noah, that song you mentioned, is it real?” Angelina asked. Since she already knew that I was a real singer and the quality of my songs, she gave me the benefit of the doubt. “If it’s not real, we’ll have to re-record the scene.”

“Don’t worry.” I replied. I replied. “I actually had the inspiration to write a fishing theme song with ‘Steve’s’ line about it.”

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

Even Laura, who already knew that I was a talented singer, was surprised, not knowing that I could write songs so easily in such a short time.

Phil also looked at me in shock. He knew I was a singer and that my role in the show was as a guest artist, so he was already surprised by my level of acting, but the shock of discovering that I was able to write a song based on lines he made up on the spot was very shocking to him.

Even the other actors, the production team, everyone was quite surprised that I could compose a song so quickly.

“Do we have a guitar on set?” Angelina asked her assistant.

“I think so.” The assistant replied.

“Then ask someone to bring it over.” She said.

Soon a guitar arrived and Angelina asked them to hand it to me while she held up a piece of paper and started writing something.

I took this guitar and tested the strings and tuned everything so that the quality was perfect.

Seeing how familiar I was with the guitar, Phil approached me and looked at me curiously.

“I forgot you were a singer, your performance was so good I thought your main vocation was acting.” She said laughing.

“This is my first time acting, haha.” I laughed as I played the melody of A Bar Song to get used to the guitar.

“Is this your song?” He asked curiously as the other actors came closer to watch me play.

“Yes, it’s called ‘A Bar Song’.” I replied.

“You’re a country singer?!” He asked in shock as he looked me up and down.

“He plays everything… I don’t think you can even define him in one category…” Laura sighed as she also came closer.

“So how about playing this song for us? I’m curious how you sing it.” Sophia, the actress of the younger sister, asked excitedly. Follow the latest novels 𝒐𝒏 n𝒐/velbin(.)com

I looked at her in surprise, since this was the first time we had interacted, and I didn’t have much sympathy for her because of how she had treated Laura before.

However, knowing that it wouldn’t be cool to start a fight in the middle of a shoot, I nodded and decided to play a song for her.

My baby wants a Birkin, she’s been telling me all night long

Gas and groceries, the list goes on and on

This 9 to 5 ain’t workin’, why the hell do I work so hard?

I can’t worry about my problems, I can’t take ’em when I’m gone…

🎼🎶🎤

As I sang, the cast and crew just enjoyed the music and were amazed at how catchy and interesting the lyrics were.

Meanwhile, Angelina was seriously looking at the role in front of her and trying to adapt something so that the song I’d made would fit into the episode without seeming forced.

What surprised me was that she didn’t even ask me to sing the song first to make sure it was really good.

This was great for me because it gave me more time to adjust the song to a more rock-oriented version and take out some of the country that didn’t fit Jack’s role in the show.

After I sang “A Bar Song,” I had another 5 minutes to tweak the song before Angelina asked us to go back to recording.
