Chapter 224

The present Lin Mo.

Saying he's a moving traffic stronghold wouldn't be an overstatement.

This is not.

He had just arrived at the "Crazy Alien" crew, not even a moment later.

Someone from the crew immediately took a photo and uploaded it online.

Within minutes it trended again.

"Huh? Isn't that Director Lin?"

"Where is this?"

"A filming crew? Could it be that Director Lin is secretly shooting a new drama?"

"I see Huang Bo, Shen Teng!"

"Rumor busted, Director Lin is just going to check on the 'Crazy Alien' crew!"

"'Crazy Alien', I'm also looking forward to that film, starring Huang Bo, Shen Teng and Xu Zheng together!"

"A Spring Festival lineup without Director Lin is incomplete!"

"But to be fair, this year's most anticipated film is 'Crazy Alien'!"

"......"

Netizens flooded the bullet comments, debating endlessly.

It was originally, right?

And many people held onto a sliver of hope.

Wondering whether Lin Mo was secretly shooting a new drama.

Result...

Sigh.

A Spring Festival lineup without Director Lin's film is a huge loss!

Actually, you know.

For Lin Mo,

Now his movies no longer care about the Summer Blockbuster Season or the Spring Festival.

At any time, as long as his film is released, the fans' viewing frenzy can be sparked instantly.

Over here.

When Lei Jiayin heard Director Lin was coming, he immediately rushed to the crew; he had also just arrived at the 'Crazy Alien' crew in the past two days, having been specially invited by Director Ning to cameo.

From afar he spotted Director Lin Mo and sprinted over.

Over there, Huang Bo, Ning Hao, and Shen Teng also saw Lei Jiayin.

Bo Ge joked, "Big Head Lei, are you in a hurry to be reborn? Isn't your scene supposed to be shot at night?"

"Big Head Lei" is Lei Jiayin's nickname.

As for why he has that nickname, as the saying goes, you can only get a name wrong, not a nickname.

His head is larger than that of an average person.

Lei Jiayin laughed and replied, "I heard Director Lin was here, so I came over quickly to say hello."

Then he turned to Lin Mo and said, "Director Lin, long time no see!"

Lin Mo also called out, "Senior brother!"

Upon hearing that, Lei Jiayin hurriedly waved his hand, "No, Director Lin, just call me Big Head..."

Isn't that right?

Lin Mo calling him senior brother—how could he stand that?

Lei Jiayin graduated from Shanghai Theatre Academy.

Moreover, it wasn't the first time the two had met.

The last time was at the premiere of "Heart Flower Road".

Lei Jiayin played Nima Ge.

Back then it also went viral, and now on TikTok you often see Lei Jiayin's famous scene "My god!".

Because Lin Mo arrived.

Originally that night, Ning Hao was preparing to shoot a night scene.

That plan, of course, had to be canceled.

Just kidding.

Director Lin even came personally to check on the set.

He had to be thorough in his care!

And the film is still far from Wrap, so there's no hurry.

In the evening they just had a casual drink.

Knowing they had to shoot tomorrow, Lin Mo didn't affect them.

This time.

He came to check on the 'Crazy Alien' crew.

Mainly because Ning Hao and Huang Bo are acquaintances.

Also, his own employee Shen Teng also had a role.

Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he just wandered around.

He stayed with the 'Crazy Alien' crew for two or three days.

He appreciated Ning Hao's directorial camera work a bit.

He wasn't sure if it was because Lin Mo was present.

For every shot Ning Hao filmed, he turned to ask Lin Mo how it was and whether anything needed improvement.

Lin Mo couldn't help laughing: "Director Ning, are you treating me like a master?"

Ning Hao also laughed: "Of course! In our hearts, you are a master!"

The saying goes, knowledge has no seniority; those who excel come first—that's the idea.

Whoever is awesome is the teacher!

In filmmaking, Ning Hao is absolutely convinced by Lin Mo!

The whole of Huaguo.

Which director now doesn't respect Lin Mo?

None at all!

Lin Mo patted Ning Hao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Director Ning, every director has their own style; I can't learn yours. Just film as you wish—no need to ask me."

This whole thing.

It seemed as if his presence put a lot of pressure on Ning Hao.

After returning to Mo Du.

Xu Zheng also invited Lin Mo for a meal.

At a private restaurant.

Just the two of them.

"Senior brother, I've just come back from the set of *Crazy Alien*," Lin Mo said with a laugh.

Xu Zheng couldn't help complaining: "If I'd known, I wouldn't have taken this role. I originally wanted to act opposite Shen Teng and Huang Bo, but Ning Hao told me to wait until they finished their scenes, then I'd perform alone behind the scenes..."

"Haha!" Lin Mo burst out laughing upon hearing that.

However, bringing up the film, Xu Zheng turned to Lin Mo and asked, "Junior brother, what do you think of this movie? Does it have potential?"

"I forgot, senior brother—you and Director Ning started a company together!"

Lin Mo then remembered.

"Yeah, so this isn't just asking you, the professional master, to take a look for us, right?" Xu Zheng said with a laugh.

"Put it this way, Huang Bo, you, and Shen Teng—this film's box office is worth at least 500 million each just from the three of you!"

Although Lin Mo had forgotten the final box office of his previous life's *Crazy Alien*, just relying on Huang Bo, Shen Teng, Xu Zheng, plus Ning Hao's direction...

... the box office will definitely not be low.

At least 1.5 billion!

Upon hearing that, Xu Zheng felt much more reassured.

Suddenly, Xu Zheng shifted the conversation: "Junior brother, do you have any plans for your new film?"

Xu Zheng knows Lin Mo fairly well.

He knows Lin Mo has many ideas.

He's not lacking material to film.

It mainly depends on what he wants to shoot.

"Yes, for the next film I've already agreed with Brother Cheng Long—he'll play the male lead and I'll direct!" Lin Mo took a sip of tea and said.

"Oh?"

Hearing it was a collaboration with Cheng Long, Xu Zheng's interest sparked.

"If I'm not mistaken, junior brother, you're planning to break into the overseas film market, right?" Xu Zheng probed.

"Exactly!" Lin Mo nodded.

That makes sense.

*Wolf Warrior* ultimately grossed 10.6 billion.

It even broke into the top ten of the global box office.

This junior brother of mine will surely aim his next film at the global market!

And his choice to collaborate with Brother Cheng Long is also the correct step.
