Chapter 157: I Am Not a Medicine God: 7.8 billion Box Office Finale, the Golden Rooster Awards Arrive!

"I Am Not a Medicine God" has been in theaters for 25 days!

Nationwide box office: 41.5 billion!

It has already broken the box office record set by "Let the Bullets Fly"!

No surprise.

It trended again!

#I Am Not a Medicine God tops domestic film box office first#

In the comment section below, netizens keep debating.

"Awesome, awesome!"

"41 billion, I have my share!"

"I even watched it twice!"

"Director Lin is amazing!"

"Who could have thought that in just half a year, Director Lin broke the box office record again, and the previous record was also his.."

"It again proves the saying that Lin Mo's productions are definitely top‑quality!"

Right?

Half a year ago, around the Spring Festival.

"Let the Bullets Fly" created a new domestic box office record!

Everyone thought it would last at least a few years.

Who would have thought..

And in this short half‑year, it was broken again!

And it's a film by the same director!

That's just awesome!

Meanwhile.

Online, the Running Man official Weibo also posted a new update.

Announced Re Ba's joining as the eighth permanent MC of Running Man.

When this news broke.

Netizens were also surprised.

Because each previous season of Running Man had staff losses and additions.

But it had always been seven MCs.

Now it suddenly increased to eight…

Could this be because of Lin Mo?

It should be noted that Re Ba being his girlfriend is known across the whole internet.

"Feels like each season of Running Man is worse than the last!"

"Re Ba, I just looked it up and found out she's Director Lin's girlfriend…"

"Feng Jiu from Three Lives, Three Worlds, I really like Re Ba!"

"Wow, Re Ba's official announcement picture is so beautiful!"

"Do you think Director Lin will appear on a future episode of Running Man~"

"Hmm, Director Lin Mo seems to have only appeared once on Extreme Challenge, right?"

"I still remember that episode of Extreme Challenge where Director Lin made Huang Lei, Huang Bo and Sun Honglei spin around!"

"......"

Netizens kept discussing endlessly.

Although.

The hype of Three Lives, Three Worlds has long passed.

But everyone still has a deep impression of Re Ba.

She's already beautiful, and her portrayal of Feng Jiu was vivid.

Add her relationship with Lin Mo.

Not to mention.

This season's Running Man announced Re Ba's joining, and it really generated a lot of buzz.

In the Running Man group chat.

Deng Chao pulled Re Ba in.

"Everyone, warmly welcome Re Ba to our Running Man family! /clap/ /clap/" Deng Chao.

"/clap/ /clap/, welcome Re Ba!" baby.

"Welcome, welcome!" Lu Han.

"/clap/ /clap/" Zheng Kai.

"......"

The group used uniform emojis to line up in welcome.

Soon.

Re Ba then posted in the group: "Thank you all!"

The group's seven fixed members, Re Ba, baby, Chao Ge, and Chen He are no longer strangers.

They often meet, after all everyone is in Mo Du.

Like Mo Ge's movie events, they all attended.

Here, Re Ba is leaving tomorrow to film Running Man!

She is busy packing at home, saying her first stop is Rong Cheng.

"Go have a good time for a few days; if any problem, remember to call me, or you can ask Chao Ge for help!"

Lin Mo doesn't forget to give her a few reminders.

It looks just like an old father sending his daughter off on a long journey.

Ahem...

Re Ba cheerfully replies, "Got it!"

A flight early the next morning.

Lin Mo personally escorted her to the airport.

At the airport, Chen He, Zheng Kai, baby Jie, and Chao Ge had already arrived.

They all live in Mo Du, after all.

So they booked the same flight.

Lin Mo smiles and says, "Everyone, Re Ba is now in your care, look after her well!"

When Chao Ge hears this, he immediately pats his chest and assures, "Director Lin, does that even need saying? We'll definitely take good care of her!"

baby Jie also laughs, "Yes, Director Lin, now that Re Ba has joined Running Man, she's the little sister of our Running Man Group; we can't even spoil her enough!"

In this world, baby Jie and Huang Xiaoming aren't married yet, so she's still here this season.

Chen He and Zheng Kai also quickly state that they'll take good care of Re Ba during the recording.

No need to say more.

Re Ba joining Running Man is practically making her the group's pet!

"Mo Ge, bye!" Re Ba waves goodbye to Lin Mo.

"Bye!"

Lin Mo also waves, then watches them enter the airport.

After seeing Re Ba off, Lin Mo turns around and goes back; he got up too early, so he returns to catch some sleep.

Mid‑August.

A good piece of news arrives.

The Golden Rooster Award is being held!

"Let the Bullets Fly" naturally applied for various film nominations.

As for "I Am Not a Medicine God," because it's still in theatrical run, it wasn't submitted.

Mainly Lin Mo worries the two movies might clash.

The news went online.

It instantly provoked intense reactions from netizens.

"The Golden Rooster Award is finally here!"

"This time, 'Let the Bullets Fly' will definitely win an award, right?"

"This is a film award we host ourselves; who dares not give face to Director Lin?"

"Exactly, exactly!"

"Golden Rooster Award, I want to be there in person!"

"Best Director must be Director Lin!"

"......"

The previous Golden Statue Award, Golden Horse Award.

It simply made them so angry they could die!

Now they've finally waited for a film award organized by their own people.

These movie fans, they're overjoyed!

"Let the Bullets Fly" is nominated for almost every Golden Rooster Award category, so I won't list them all.

On the other side.

The Running Man crew has already gone to Jiang Cheng to film the show.

As insiders, they naturally know about the Golden Rooster Award being held.

In the evening, after filming the show.

Everyone eats together, chatting while they eat.

"This Golden Rooster Award, Director Lin's 'Let the Bullets Fly' is probably going to sweep everything!" Chen He says.

"That's inevitable!" Deng Chao affirms.

He knows Director Lin's connections all too well.

Moreover,

Relying on solid strength, Director Lin is also impressive!

Which of these nominated films can compare with 'Let the Bullets Fly'?

Li Chen also chimes in, "And next year's Golden Rooster Award is already pre‑wrapped by Director Lin~"

Zheng Kai jokes nearby, "Best Supporting Actor is definitely Chao Ge's in the bag!"

"Re Ba, when the time comes, just ask Yao Director for leave!"

Sitting beside Re Ba, baby Jie says.

"Mm‑mm, I know, baby Jie!" Re Ba is a foodie, currently tasting the local delicacies.

Since joining the Running Man crew.

During this period of filming, everyone took very good care of Re Ba.

From the members to the guests to the director's team, it was simply...

Anyway, besides Re Ba, no one else got this treatment.

After everyone finished eating.

Each went back to the hotel, Re Ba and Lin Mo were on a video call.

"Mo Ge, where is the Golden Rooster Award?" Re Ba asked curiously.

"Don't rush, there's still a week!" Lin Mo replied.

"Oh oh, like that, then after I finish recording the next episode, I'll fly over to see you~" Re Ba said.

"Mm!"

Lin Mo smiled and nodded.

Attending the red carpet, the female companion was naturally Re Ba.

We can't possibly look for another woman, can we?

Moreover.

Re Ba also didn't agree.

In the blink of an eye, August 27 arrived; I Am Not a Medicine God had already been released for 33 days, and the total box office reached an astonishing 4.578 billion.

Lin Mo once again created a box office miracle!

This number left countless directors in the dust, like a great mountain weighing on their hearts.

4.5 billion box office—they dare not even imagine it!

That night, Lin Mo's phone kept ringing, all calls to congratulate him.

Of course, he also didn't forget to send red envelopes in the I Am Not a Medicine God group chat to celebrate.

The group chat instantly exploded, everyone scrambling to grab red envelopes.

"Thanks, Director Lin, Director Lin is so generous!!!" Deng Chao.

"Wow, red envelope rain, I love it!" Zhang Ziyi.

"Director Lin is so generous!!!" Zhou Yiwei.

"Director Lin is so generous!!!"

Unified talking points.

All the main cast and crew flooded the group chat with posts, expressing their respect and gratitude to Lin Mo.
