Chapter 27: Film Wrap!

In the blink of an eye.

Time came to the end of November.

Over two months.

The film "Charlotte's Trouble" was about to wrap this scene.

In the hospital.

Xia Luo was critically ill, and due to her unwillingness to cooperate with the doctor's treatment, she had only two days left to live; Ma Dongmei specially came to visit Xia Luo.

In front of the monitor, Lin Mo and all the crew members held their breath, waiting to witness this deeply moving scene.

Ma Li tightly gripped Shen Teng's hand, tears glistening in her eyes, and she softly began to sing the song "Once Is Enough".

The melody floated, penetrating every corner of the hospital and also touching the hearts of everyone present.

"Once Is Enough, I'll take you to see the world grow old together, laughing loudly in the sunshine-filled days, making a ruckus in the carefree air, you know..." Each word seemed to flow from the heart, brimming with deep feeling and reluctance.

The entire set fell into an unprecedented silence, with only Ma Li's song echoing.

The actresses all reddened their eyes, some softly sobbing, moved by this deep emotion.

The actors, meanwhile, furrowed their brows, their eyes full of feeling.

As the director of this film, Lin Mo sat before the camera, his mood extraordinarily complex.

Although he had watched the movie "Charlotte's Trouble" many times in his previous life, seeing the two actors' performance so genuine and committed right now, the strong emotional resonance moved him deeply.

Finally.

When Lin Mo loudly shouted "Cut"

Only then did the crew members get pulled back to reality.

Lin Mo led the applause, and immediately the entire set burst into thunderous clapping, warm and lasting.

"This performance was amazing!"

"Yeah, Ma Li's acting in this segment is awesome!"

"It made me cry..."

"It's fine, not embarrassing—I cried too!"

"If this scene were shown on the big screen, who knows how many people it would move!"

The actors gathered together, excitedly chatting, praising the performance nonstop.

Especially Ma Li, who was still immersed in the role of Ma Dongmei, seemed a bit dazed.

Shen Teng stood up to comfort her, helping her gradually step out of the character's emotions.

Director Lin Mo walked over, smiling broadly, and lavishly praised Ma Li: "Ma Li, you performed this scene really well, truly excellent!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Li quickly said gratefully, "Thank you, Director Lin!"

Afterward, Lin Mo turned to face the entire crew and loudly announced: "Everyone, thanks to your unremitting efforts, Charlotte's Trouble has officially wrapped!"

As soon as his words fell, the atmosphere that had been steeped in faint sorrow instantly turned to joy.

Everyone cheered up, sweeping away the previous gloom.

Lin Mo then said: "It's seven o'clock now; I've already had Director Chen arrange the wrap party. In two hours, let's meet at Joy Grand Hotel, and everyone gets a red envelope!"

Upon hearing this, the crew members cheered even more exuberantly, the atmosphere reaching its peak.

"Director Lin, long live!!!"

"Director Lin, you're magnificent!"

"Director Lin, you're the most handsome director I've ever seen!"

"Director Lin, you're so handsome!"

The next day.

Lin Mo woke up from the hotel.

His head still felt a bit swollen.

He had drunk a bit too much the previous night.

There was no helping it—who made him the director?

Everyone came over to toast him with alcohol; he couldn't refuse to drink.

Fortunately, he was smart.

Having drunk halfway, he pretended to be drunk and left early.

Otherwise, he would have drunk himself to death.

He opened his phone to take a look.

He still had quite a few unread messages.

They were all from Re Ba.

And they were all sent in the morning.

"After waking up, remember to eat something first to settle your stomach; don't go empty‑headed. It's best to have some light porridge or noodles to nourish your stomach!"

"Also, don't schedule too much work today; rest well—your body is the capital of revolution!"

"I know being a director isn't easy for you; since I'm not by your side, you need to take good care of yourself so I don't have to worry~"

"......"

Lin Mo looked at these simple yet caring messages from Re Ba, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turning up, his heart warm; he quickly replied: "Mm, got it!"

Seeing no response after a while, he guessed Re Ba must be filming right now.

She had taken on the female lead role in this drama.

As everyone knows.

It's a TV drama.

It's smelly and long.

It's more troublesome than filming a movie.

Lin Mo firmly has no intention of shooting a TV series; it's exhausting.

Of course.

Work still needs to be arranged.

But he arranges things for other people.

"Hey, Chen Bro." Lin Mo picked up his phone and directly dialed Chen Zhong's number.

"Director Lin, are you awake? How do you feel?" On the other end of the phone, Chen Zhong's voice showed concern.

"I'm okay, just a bit dizzy—I drank a little too much last night." Lin Mo replied with a smile.

"Director Lin, rest assured, I've pretty much finished the follow-up work here—you can just relax." Chen Zhong said cheerfully over the phone.

"Alright, with you handling it, I'm at ease."

I have to say.

This person...

He still needs to undergo some social tempering.

Look, Chen Zhong is impeccable when it comes to getting things done.

Of course.

We also need to thank Teacher Wang.

If it weren't for Teacher Wang arranging Chen Zhong for him...

Lin Mo had no idea how hectic the production would become.

After hanging up the phone, on this side...

Lin Mo was just about to get up to find something to eat.

He simply ordered a bowl of noodles.

At this moment.

He really had no appetite.

It wasn't until around 3:30 in the afternoon.

Lin Mo only then arrived at the production site.

Props, all kinds, were pretty much sorted out.

At this moment.

Everyone was bragging and chatting.

Here we go.

Upon seeing Lin Mo arrive.

Everyone hurried to stand straight.

"Director Lin!"

Chen Zhong came trotting over: "Director Lin, I've finished everything!"

"Mm, Chen Bro, I trust you to handle this!"

Lin Mo smiled and patted Chen Zhong's shoulder, his eyes full of trust.

Over the next two days, everyone worked overtime, finishing the wrap-up work beautifully, and then they all withdrew in a grand manner.

As for Shen Teng and Ma Li, they had already flown away the day after the wrap.

After all.

After filming for over two months, they all started missing their families.

As for Xiao Tian.

This girl's scenes had already wrapped a month ago.

Now she's being a good student at school.
