Chapter 247: Vandiesel: This Damn Fortune Has Fallen on Me?

Here in London.

The British Duel crew.

Two friends have come to visit the set!

One of them.

It's Ceng Zidan, whom Lin Mo has met before.

And the other, Hong Jingbao!

This one is the real big shot of the Xiang Jiang entertainment industry.

Even Cheng Long has to call him big brother.

"Director Lin!" Ceng Zidan said with a smile, shaking hands with Lin Mo.

Lin Mo replied cheerfully, "Brother Dan, I was just about to call you, wanted to ask if you have time to cameo in my film!"

Whether his words are sincere, though.

Doesn't matter.

Just give the right outward attitude.

At that, when Ceng Zidan heard that, his smile grew even brighter: "Getting to act in Director Lin's new film, I couldn't ask for more!"

"Mo kid, this is my senior brother Hong Jingbao!"

Cheng Long smiled and introduced him to Lin Mo.

"Brother Bao!" Lin Mo quickly greeted.

"Director Lin!"

Hong Jingbao smiled in response.

The two shook hands, and Lin Mo continued, "Brother Bao, I watched a lot of your movies when I was a kid; back then I never got to see you in person, and today I finally get to meet you!"

The crowd lifted the ornate sedan chair.

Besides, he's not lying; when I watched those discs as a kid, weren't they all Hong Jingbao, Long Shu, and Hua Ge?

"Director Lin, I've watched all your films, especially Wolf Warrior; it truly captured that great‑power style, sincerely well done!" Hong Jingbao also gave Lin Mo a thumbs up.

Just commercial mutual hype.

If you praise me, I'll naturally praise you back.

Shi Tai Long, Jason, and Pierce also briefly got to know the two.

Ceng Zidan.

Actually, he also has a certain level of fame internationally.

After all, after Cheng Long and Brother Jie, he's the only Chinese action star who can hold his own!

"Ip Man" series is also quite popular abroad.

Especially on YouTube.

Ceng Zidan and Hong Jingbao came to visit the set.

We certainly can't let them come for nothing; after all, they're ready‑made labor.

Lin Mo pulled the two into cameo roles in the film.

Time flew.

It was mid‑May.

Two days ago, Lin Mo received a call from Liu Qin saying that "Wolf Warrior" had been nominated for multiple Huabiao Awards.

Of course he didn't have time to collect them.

He just let Wu Jing go; Wu Jing would collect them alone.

Meanwhile.

Penguin's "Tomorrow's Child" also premiered.

The first episode immediately grabbed an extremely high rating.

Undoubtedly.

The hottest topic was Yang Mi.

"What the heck, is it real? Yang Mi as a judge?"

"Huh? I thought it was fake news."

"What the heck, I have to go see it!"

"Haha, go watch it quickly, Re Ba and Cheng Xiao went all out; they sang 'Love's Offering' right in front of Yang Mi!"

"This program is actually quite interesting, Hua Chengyu, Lao Xue, and Yang Mi as Star Promotion Officers!"

"Penguin must have tasted the sweet results of 'Produce 101', right? They've made another new show!"

"......"

Netizens began to discuss endlessly.

Here.

In the evening, Lin Mo video‑called Re Ba.

Re Ba also described vividly how she and Cheng Xiao sang her breakout song in front of Yang Mi.

"Hahaha, Mo Ge, you didn't see it, that look from Sister Mi at the time was just… so funny!" Re Ba laughed uproariously on the video, caring little about her image.

Lin Mo hadn't seen it, but just hearing Re Ba describe it, the image instantly formed in his mind.

"You two and this plastic sisterhood, that's like a stone hammer!" Lin Mo couldn't help laughing.

Re Ba quickly defended, "No, actually I, Sister Mi, and Xiao Xiao had planned it long ago; it was all for the show's effect~"

"But the suggestion was mine; Sister Mi wasn't keen at first, now she has to thank me!"

Then, Re Ba spoke with smug confidence.

The two kept chatting like that, and most of the time Re Ba kept recounting the amusing incidents she experienced while taking part in the program.

Lin Mo, on his part, listened patiently, occasionally nodding or interjecting to show he was paying attention.

As for Lin Mo's situation, there was really nothing special.

His daily work revolves around filming—busy but quite fulfilling.

Since filming began on British Duel, almost two months have passed.

The progress is a little over one‑third.

It's estimated that after the movie Wrap, at least another three months will be needed.

It should finish shooting around August.

This film is mainly different from Wolf Warrior.

Because this time it aims for worldwide release.

It's Lin Mo's first mega‑blockbuster.

It has to be top‑quality!

During this period.

Lin Mo kept giving Fan Di Sai Er more scenes.

Unwittingly.

His screen time ended up being about the same as Jason's.

Fan Di Sai Er was extremely grateful.

At first, his senior brother Shi Tai Long called him over, only telling him to cameo in a role.

Result…

In short.

He's very grateful to Director Lin!

Here, they just finished filming a fight scene.

Now they have some free time.

Lin Mo called Fan Di Sai Er over.

"Vin, have you learned anything new on the set these days?" Lin Mo asked casually.

Fan Di Sai Er, hearing that, quickly replied, "Director Lin, I think your directing style is unlike most directors…"

Exactly.

It's the most novel thing he's discovered in all the days he's been on the crew.

Fan Di Sai Er himself is also a director.

Although his first self‑directed, self‑acted film was shot on a DV.

But he has at least studied directing systematically.

So, when he saw Lin Mo's directing style, he found it especially fresh.

Other directors, before shooting, draw up a bunch of shot lists and compositions, but Lin Mo has never done that.

Each time they film, he simply acts out the desired effect, and the actors follow his style.

That gave Fan Di Sai Er the impression that Lin Mo already has a vivid visual sense in his mind—truly amazing.

Hearing that, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh.

That's his Golden Finger—unique worldwide, impossible to imitate.

Then Lin Mo turned to Fan Di Sai Er and asked earnestly, "For the next film, would you be interested in playing the male lead for me?"

Upon hearing that.

Fan Di Sai Er was stunned outright?

Huh?

He didn't mishear, right?

Immediately, Fan Di Sai Er recovered, quickly nodded, "Director Lin, I'm extremely interested!!!"

He knows.

The Lin in front of them isn't just a simple director.

Jackie had mentioned it to them before.

He said Director Lin is super rich!

His assets total tens of billions of US dollars.

Moreover, he owns a film‑and‑TV company in Huaguo, worth so much that even dozens of billions of US dollars can't contain it.

At the time, Shi Tai Long, Jason, and Pierce were all stunned.

Because.

They had always simply thought Lin Mo was just a director.

Who would have thought.

He's actually that rich!

At this moment, Cheng Long, Jason, and Shi Tai Long also walked over.

Seeing Fan Di Sai Er so excited, Shi Tai Long curiously asked, "Vin, what's up?"

Then Fan Di Sai Er told them what had just happened.

After they heard it.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

They didn't expect that Director Lin would actually hold Fan Di Sai Er in such high regard.

He directly appointed him as the male lead of the next film.

Afterwards, when they recovered, they all smiled and congratulated Fan Di Sai Er.
