Chapter 101: Lin Mo

Meanwhile.

Online.

The news that the film Let the Bullets Fly had wrapped also spread!

Itself.

The popularity of this film has remained high from the start of filming to now.

Every few days it trends on hot searches.

"Ah? It's already finished shooting that fast?"

"I guess Lin Mo wants to rush it out for the Spring Festival release!"

"Wow, that means there's still over a month left!"

"This is the film I'm most looking forward to this year!"

"Lin Mo, this guy, still has some talent in making movies—worth looking forward to!"

"666!"

"So fast—don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the speed of filming!"

"......"

Netizens kept discussing.

From these comments, the replies also show.

Lin Mo's fame is now not small either.

After all.

He has had two excellent works.

"Charlotte's Trouble" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City."

At least it convinces the audience that his films aren't trash!

Besides that.

Various WeChat group chats also started talking about this topic.

Moreover, many people tagged him.

Lin Mo selectively replied to some.

Now then.

His main task is still editing!

Fortunately, Jiang Wen Laoge is helping.

The speed isn't slow either.

The next day.

Lin Mo finally got to meet the renowned music master Jiushirang!

He wore a hat, kept a low profile, and was accompanied by an assistant and a translator.

Lin Mo and Jiang Wen went to pick him up together, also bringing a translator, after all we don't share a language.

After a brief greeting, everyone got in the car.

Lin Mo, Jiang Wen, and Jiushirang sat in the back row, the two translators sat up front, all wearing earpieces for easy communication.

"I really like Huaguo!" Jiushirang said with a smile.

Upon hearing that, Jiang Wen immediately chimed in: "Master, you should really go sightseeing—our Huaguo's scenery is beautiful; it might even bring you new musical inspiration!" As he spoke, he warmly put his arm around Jiushirang's shoulder, that enthusiastic vibe was just great.

Seeing this scene.

Lin Mo was also happy.

Jiang Wen Laoge is basically the ultimate social butterfly.

Guys, you know.

No matter the country, no matter the age group.

As they chatted, they started bragging.

Lin Mo and Jiang Wen first took Jiushirang out for a meal.

At the dinner table.

Drinking was indispensable!

Earlier, Jiang Wen had told Lin Mo that if we let this foreign devil taste Huaguo's liquor, he'd know how strong it is.

Jiang Wen is quite the heavy drinker.

Even two Lin Mos wouldn't be enough for his drinking.

Jiushirang was naturally no exception.

Not long after.

The two of them got him drunk.

He's a guest who came from afar.

So, upon arriving in Huaguo, we naturally ought to give him a warm reception.

The next day, upon meeting, everyone's relationship became noticeably closer.

Jiushirang got straight to the point: "Lin-san, Jiang-san, what are your requirements for the film's score?"

Jiang Wen turned his head to look at Lin Mo.

He really didn't know what his younger brother was thinking.

Lin Mo, meanwhile, smiled relaxedly and said: "No big demands—I just hope it's a bit stronger than Mozart, just a tiny bit!"

After saying that, he himself couldn't help laughing.

As soon as this was said, Jiang Wen almost choked; the translator also looked bewildered. After the translator explained it to Jiushirang, he was stunned: "Lin Sang, are you joking?"

Although...

His own attainments in music are still okay!

But compared to Mozart, that's a world of difference!

Jiang Wen was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Junior brother, your demand is really high!"

Lin Mo laughed and said: "Just joking, just joking, but I actually have an idea."

Saying that, he took out Mozart's Requiem, and also took out some clips and plot outline of Let the Bullets Fly to give to Jiushirang.

To save time, Lin Mo also improvised a few bars of that stirring, tragic BGM from the film.

Jiang Wen's eyes lit up at once: "Wow, junior brother, you've studied music too? This tune is not bad!"

"Oh, it's nothing—just showing off my modest skills before an expert; the key is still the master's hand," Lin Mo laughed.

Just like that, Jiushirang took the materials and dove into creation.

Seeing Jiushirang off, Jiang Wen finally said: "Junior brother, I find you even more humorous than I am!"

Not at all!

"If I were Jiushirang, do you know how I'd reply to you?"

"How would I reply?"

"You compare me to Mozart, why don't you compare yourself to Kurosawa?"

"Haha!"

".........."

The two smiled at each other; over the next few days, while busy with the film's post-production, they occasionally went to check on Jiushirang's scoring progress.

And don't even mention it.

A master is just a master.

The score was quickly finished.

It's exactly the same as that score from the previous life's Let the Bullets Fly.

After hearing it, Lin Mo was very pleased and praised: "Brother Teng Ze, you're even better than Mozart!"

Jiushirang's original name was Teng Ze Shou.

Hearing this, Jiushirang quickly waved his hands, humbly saying: "Can't compare, can't compare..."

But the smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden.

Indeed, that old saying holds true!

Thousands of piercings, ten thousands of piercings, yet flattery does not pierce!

With the score settled, Lin Mo then hosted a banquet.

This time, besides Jiang Wen,

Xu Zheng, having heard the news from somewhere, also came to join the fun.

As soon as he arrived, he complained to Lin Mo for not telling him in advance: "Junior brother, such a big matter, why wasn't I called?"

"Ah, senior brother, you also like music?" Lin Mo feigned surprise.

"Cough cough, although I don't understand, but Jiushirang is a master, so we should meet him, right?" Xu Zheng explained.

"Old Xu, you don't know, this junior brother of mine gave Jiushirang a tough problem~"

Jiang Wen laughed heartily and said.

"Oh? What problem?" Xu Zheng asked curiously.

Next.

Jiang Wen then talked about the problem Lin Mo gave Jiushirang.

Upon hearing it, Xu Zheng laughed until he doubled over: "Junior brother, you're really cheeky!"

"Hey, just joking~"

Lin Mo also laughed happily.

At the dinner table.

Four men, eating and chatting.

As for Jiang Wen, she's quite bad.

They got drunk and excited.

They even started teaching Jiushirang Chinese.

The key is, if you teach, teach something good.

As a result, he did the opposite.

He ended up teaching only vulgar words.

Stuff like "damn it", "holy shit", "awesome"...

Lin Mo and Xu Zheng also found it hilarious.

After the meal.

Lin Mo suggested taking a group photo.

Thus, the translator Lin Mo brought took a photo of the four.

Not long after.

Lin Mo then uploaded the photo to Weibo!

He now has quite a few Weibo followers.

10.73 million!

And they're all active fans!

Not a single one is bought.

Previously.

Lin Mo's Weibo is managed by Liu Qin, so from time to time he updates some dynamics, such as stills from the crew of 'Let the Bullets Fly' and such.

"Director Lin, Director Jiang, Director Xu, huh, who's this bald guy?"

"Holy shit, this isn't Jiushirang, is it?"

"Who is Jiushirang? Is he very famous?"

"Damn, this is a world-class music master, huh? You've heard of 'Summer of Kikujiro' and 'Castle in the Sky,' right?"

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"Awesome, even Jiushirang was invited!"

"666!"

"Is Lin Mo inviting Jiushirang to do the music for his movie? Holy shit!!!"

"Ah?"
