Chapter 146: Ready to Go Big!

After arriving at the company.

Luo Kai and Zhang Songwen, seeing the boss arrive, hurried to stand up: "Boss!"

"Sit!"

Lin Mo nodded in acknowledgement.

"Lao Luo, how does it feel now that the drama is finished?"

Because this is Luo Kai's first drama that he directed alone.

So Lin Mo asked him how he felt.

When Luo Kai heard that, his face blossomed with joy, and he gratefully said, "It feels amazing, boss, all thanks to the opportunity you gave!"

Indeed.

If the boss hadn't signed him into the company, how could he have had the chance to direct a drama?

Previously, he drifted among various crews, doing assorted work for the director's team.

He only once had a chance to be an assistant director, but that piece was a low‑budget web series that made no splash online.

In short, his feeling toward the boss is summed up in two words— gratitude!

Then Lin Mo turned his gaze to Zhang Songwen: "Teacher Songwen, how is your collaboration with Teacher Zhang Yi?"

Zhang Songwen quickly replied, "Boss, Zhang Yi's acting is superb; we often discuss the plot while filming...."

Luo Kai also chimed in, "Exactly, Zhang Yi's performance is spot‑on; boss, your eye is truly sharp, and the role of An Xin is practically tailor‑made for him!" After speaking, he didn't forget to flatter Lin Mo.

Lin Mo smiled and shook his head, "Alright, stop the flattery; just get the film made properly, the company is waiting for this drama to earn money!"

The three chatted idly for a while, and Lin Mo even specifically mentioned to Zhang Songwen Zhou Yiwei's performance in I Am Not a Medicine God, praising his acting as on point.

In the days that followed, Lin Mo waited for the approval news of I Am Not a Medicine God while keeping an eye on Luo Kai and the post‑production team's intensive editing at the company.

As for Re Ba, she was busy at home tinkering with food, saying she wanted to become a culinary expert, and was joyfully occupied all day.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Lin Mo also received the news that I Am Not a Medicine God had passed review.

Promotion was about ready to start.

In this regard, it was naturally handed over to Liu Qin to handle.

Thus.

Soon online.

The news that I Am Not a Medicine God would soon be released sprouted like bamboo shoots after rain.

Douyin, Weibo platforms.

The comment sections exploded.

These netizens, upon learning that Director Lin Mo's new film was about to premiere, could not help but be excited.

"Finally waited for you!"

"Really? Why haven't I seen Director Lin post on Weibo?"

"Looking forward to it!"

"Chao Ge, Xu Zheng and Zhang Ziyi, these three powerhouses, I can't wait to see the film!"

"When does it premiere?"

This time.

Lin Mo hadn't prepared any promotional clip.

Mainly because…

He wants to go big..

He will directly market this film as a comedy.

Just like before, the promotional poster for I Am Not a Medicine God had the same style, ahem…

Very quickly.

Morning Light Media's official Weibo posted a latest update.

Indeed, it was the movie poster for I Am Not a Medicine God.

On the poster, every character smiles so broadly that only teeth are visible, instantly lifting one's mood.

At the same time, the scheduled release date is July 26!

More than 20 days left!

Huang Fan.

He is a devoted fan of Lin Mo.

From Charlotte's Trouble to Let the Bullets Fly.

He has watched every film.

And not just once.

Now.

When he saw the new movie promotional poster released by Morning Light Media.

First impression!

Comedy!

A cliff‑edge comedy!

It should be noted that Director Lin is known for making comedies.

Think of Charlotte's Trouble and The Richest Man in Xihong City, they're hilariously fun.

Add actors Deng Chao and Xu Zheng.

These two people both play comedy.

Likewise, many fans share Huang Fan's idea.

Well, this is the post from Morning Light Media's official Weibo.

In just a short half hour, the comments have exceeded ten thousand!

"Director Lin's new film is a comedy, I like it!"

"It must be a comedy, you don't even need to look at the cast—Chao Ge plus Director Xu, just thinking about it is hilarious!"

"Hahaha!"

"No way, I remember Chao Ge lost dozens of pounds for this film!"

"Upstairs, you forgot that in The Richest Man in Xihong City, the actor who played Zhuang Qiang also gained dozens of pounds!"

"I just like Director Lin's comedy, it's definitely hilarious!"

"......"

Almost everyone.

They all think that I Am Not a Medicine God is a comedy film.

Here.

In the crew's group chat.

Everyone was buzzing about this topic.

"Hahaha, after seeing those netizens' comments, I was thrilled; they all thought we were making a comedy!" Deng Chao

"@Lin Mo, junior brother, you're too wicked! Aren't you afraid of making these viewers angry!" Xu Zheng

"I said back then Director Lin had us laugh a bit more happily; turns out it was for this effect! (laughs loudly)" Zhang Ziyi

"I'm now a bit eager to see these fans' reactions!" Wang Yanhui

"+1" Zhou Yiwei

"+1111" Zhang Yu

"......"

Lin Mo is busy right now.

The phone keeps ringing.

Well, Jiang Wen Laoge's familiar loud voice boomed through the phone again: "Hahaha, younger brother, you're really something! If I hadn't known the inside story beforehand, I almost would have thought you switched to making comedies!"

That laughter, even through the screen, you can feel the full joy.

"It's not just for promoting the movie~" Lin Mo replied with a hehe smile.

"I just can't wait for the film to come out, I'm really eager to see the audience's reaction—just thinking about it makes me happy!" Jiang Wen's anticipation is contagious even over the phone.

Afterwards, they chatted for a while.

Only then did they hang up.

Turning his head to look aside, Re Ba was on a video call with Yang Mi, both wearing smiles, looking like they were chatting happily.

Because Yang Mi is also in the know.

Earlier, when visiting the set, Lin Mo even dragged her into a cameo role.

"Re Ba, you say your partner is really hilarious, playing like this, aren't you afraid the audience will collectively roast him online later?" Yang Mi laughed hysterically in the video call, her tone full of teasing Lin Mo.

Upon hearing that, Re Ba laughed until her eyes almost narrowed into slits: "Hehe, seriously, I'm really eager to see the film released soon!"

"Just hearing that, I'm eager too—I just want to see the audience's reaction!"

"Me too!"
