Chapter 239

Now.

Backstage at the press conference.

The core creative team isn't large.

Just Shi Tai Long, Jason, Pierce, Cheng Long, Gong Li, and Re Ba.

Even though he wants to assemble an all‑star lineup.

But they're only doing cameo roles in the film.

Their screen time isn't much.

If the creative team counted them, there'd be no room left on the stage.

It still has to be Lin Mo.

A whole batch of big names have cameo roles in his film.

They can't even get a shot at the press conference.

Even powerhouses like Zhang Ziyi, Deng Chao, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo and the like…

They can only be background extras in the movie.

If it were another director.

He'd be eager to promote those cameo big shots as the Center Position.

Lin Mo is chatting with Gong Li.

Shi Tai Long, Jason and Pierce all know Gong Li.

After all.

Internationally, Gong Li also has a certain level of fame.

"Gong Li Jie, I heard my girlfriend can act with you; she's overjoyed, can't stop smiling for days!" Lin Mo glanced at Re Ba and said to Gong Li Jie.

Gong Li Jie laughed on hearing it: "Director Lin, your girlfriend is really beautiful!"

"Gong Li Jie, I'm your fan!" Re Ba said excitedly.

Even though Gong Li has heard that line countless times, hearing it from Director Lin's girlfriend is naturally very pleasant to her ears.

"Re Ba, I'm also really looking forward to filming with you!"

Gong Li said smiling to Re Ba.

At this moment.

At Deng Chao's house, all the Running Man Group members are present.

Chen He, Lu Han, baby, Zheng Kai, Da Heiniu and the others.

Huang Xiaoming is also there.

Everyone knows his relationship with baby.

And they plan to marry at the end of the year!

Since everyone rarely has a free slot, they're gathering.

Coincidentally, today is also the British Duel film press conference!

This time, they have a chance to snag a Lulu‑face cameo role in Director Lin's new film British Duel.

That's quite exciting!

"Chao Ge, Director Lin's press conference is starting!" Chen He shouted, his voice bright, toward Deng Chao.

Upon hearing, Deng Chao quickly scooped up his cute little daughter and came over; the group sat grandly on the sofa, ready to watch the press conference on TV.

"Wow, Gong Li Jie also appears!"

When Gong Li appeared on the screen, everyone shouted in surprise.

But it was only a slight, brief surprise.

After all, the cast of British Duel is too powerful.

Just the actors they know number dozens who have taken part in this film.

Although they're all just mixing faces inside.

"Back when I was in film school, I watched Shi Tai Long's 'First Blood' dozens of times; it was pure adrenaline!" Deng Chao said, gazing at Shi Tai Long on the screen, full of emotion.

Time really flies; in the blink of an eye, everyone is no longer the naive youths they once were.

And those megastars who once accompanied them through countless days and nights have gradually aged.

"If anyone deserves credit, it's Director Lin; pulling these big shots together is no ordinary feat!" Zheng Kai said from the side.

"Indeed, Director Lin is now the flagship of our Huaguo directing scene!" Deng Chao added.

That is indeed the widely acknowledged fact in today's Chinese‑language directing world.

Director Lin must have looks, talent, and box‑office numbers...

What else could he be if not the flagship?

Directors like Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kai, Zhang Yimou and the like.

That's truly admirable.

Moreover.

Lin Mo is so handsome; as Huaguo's flagship director,

Everyone's faces are radiant, right?

The group was watching intently as Lin Mo introduced the film's plot and locations on TV, when suddenly Deng Chao's mysterious voice came from beside them: "Let me tell you a secret!"

"Huh?"

"What secret?"

"Chao Ge, hurry up, hurry up!"

Everyone, upon hearing there was a secret, hurriedly started asking questions all at once.

"Director Lin even invited Teacher Guo Da this time!"

Deng Chao spoke, smiling.

Upon hearing this, everyone froze, eyes wide open, mouths agape, unable to recover for a long while.

The first to react was Chen He, who laughed heartily and said, "Director Lin knows what netizens want, haha!"

"Wow, they really invited Teacher Guo Da!"

Huang Xiaoming also looked toward Deng Chao.

"Hahaha, Director Lin knows how to have fun; I can already picture that scene—it must be super fun!" Lu Han also couldn't help laughing.

Obviously.

Everyone knows the Guo Da Stenson meme.

Isn't that right?

They were chatting.

On TV, the scene of the British Duel Press Conference.

A reporter actually raised such a question.

"Director Lin, have you considered inviting Teacher Guo Da to cameo in the film?"

Upon hearing this question,

The viewers in the live stream instantly couldn't stay seated.

"What a great question!"

"I also want to know!"

"Please, we must invite him!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Curious, does Jason know Guo Da?"

"He does, he does; Jason even said Guo Da is his brother!"

"......"

While watching the press conference scene.

After the translation told this to Jason, Shi Tai Long, and Pierce, the three of them.

Jason burst out laughing.

"I believe many netizens are curious about this question; well, then I'll openly tell you—I really did invite Teacher Guo Da this time!"

Lin Mo picked up the microphone and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this,

Instantly, the venue erupted.

However, some foreign reporters didn't understand.

"What's going on?"

Immediately, this group of reporters turned the topic to Jason.

"Jason, may I ask if you're familiar with Teacher Guo Da?"

After this was translated,

Jason joked, "This time I came to Huaguo just to meet this brother of mine!"

"Haha!"

Laughter filled the venue!

Afterward.

The reporters then turned the topic to Gong Li, Cheng Long, and others.

As for our female lead,

that is Re Ba.

She was also asked quite a few questions.

For example, a reporter asked her: "Re Ba, you're working with so many big names in your first film—are you nervous?"

The reporter who asked that question also had a short circuit in his brain.

Not only did the on-site colleagues think so,

but also the vast audience in the live stream felt the same.

"Holy shit, this reporter is an idiot, right?"

"This isn't even a foreign reporter; don't you know the relationship between Director Lin and Re Ba?"

"This reporter's professional level—I can only say, it's a pile of shit!"

"Re Ba: Do you think I'll be nervous?"

"Hahaha, this person is just here to be funny!"

"......"

Besides,

This question left Re Ba a bit dazed.

However,

After she reacted, she still spoke quite officially, saying that being able to work with so many big names in her first film is her honor, she will perform well and not disappoint everyone.

The British Duel Press Conference lasted over an hour.

After it ended.

Soon, netizens edited the video and it went viral online.

For example, on Yotube, the world's largest video website.

After the British Duel launch event video was uploaded, the view count kept rising rapidly.

「Jackie！Jackie！Jackie！」

「Lin, this director is way too young! 」

「I'm really looking forward to their cooperation! 」

「Wow, this director from the Eastern great country is really handsome! 」

「This movie is a must-watch! 」

That video.

In just an hour, it surged to the top of the weekly click rankings.
