Chapter 277
"No wonder everyone says you're a Feeling-Style Director!"
Lin Mo laughed and made a joke.
Wang Jiawei, upon hearing this, also happily responded: "So, I specially invited you, this big-name director, to give me some pointers!"
"Alright, Director Wang, don't give me flattery~" Lin Mo quickly waved his hand, knowing in his heart he had a few skills.
Although, after graduating from film school, from *Charlotte's Trouble* to *British Duel*, he has made a total of six films.
But when it comes to technique, he is indeed inferior to Wang Jiawei.
After all, they are professionals.
Just one shot, filmed back and forth eight hundred times—can you compare?
Lin Mo's filming is actually quite simple.
He mainly highlights a script, an actor, and quality.
To say how miraculous his directing skills are would be somewhat an exaggeration.
Of course.
Another thing is that Lin Mo understands the audience.
He knows what the audience wants to see.
This is the secret to the success of each of his films, and also the biggest trait that fans like about him.
That's why that saying exists.
"Lin Mo's productions are always top‑notch!"
At night, on the way back, Re Ba sat in the car, chatting enthusiastically with Lin Mo: "Mo Ge, I earlier even asked Xin Zhilei what it felt like to shoot Director Wang's film; guess what she told me?"
Lin Mo curiously asked: "How did she say it?"
"She said there was a shot that Director Wang Jiawei filmed back and forth for half a month and still didn't pass." Re Ba looked astonished: "Half a month! My goodness!"
At that moment, when Xin Zhilei said it, Re Ba was utterly astonished.
Half a month just filming that shot back and forth...
To be fair.
This is very Wang Jiawei!
Lin Mo smiled: "I just said it, Director Wang is a Feeling-Style Director; whether a shot is good depends entirely on his feeling. Sometimes he thinks a shot is fine, but a few days later, because the weather changed, the feeling is off, so he has to reshoot!"
Re Ba shook her head after hearing: "Shooting Director Wang's film is really too torturous!"
"It's tiring, but being able to appear in Wang Jiawei's film, the odds of winning an award are quite high!" Lin Mo said.
That's right.
Look at Liang Chaowei: after filming Wang Jiawei's movie, he won eight Best Actor awards...
Even the film media said that Huaguo's film circle can no longer accommodate him.
Re Ba nodded: "Also, Zi Yi sister often complained about Director Wang before, but she still feels quite grateful to Wang Jiawei in her heart."
So, Zhang Guorong, Liang Chaowei, and Zhang Ziyi, although they complain about Wang Jiawei on the surface, they still want to work with him. Lin Mo said smiling.
Next, Lin Mo gave Re Ba an example: "For instance, if Yang Mi's company has an actor who can collaborate with Wang Jiawei, playing the lead in his film, but if Yang Mi has to invest in his film, do you think she would invest?"
"Yes!" Re Ba answered without hesitation.
She also added: "Mi Jie keeps telling me that if her company also had a film emperor and film empress, that would be great."
"Exactly, an entertainment media company without a film emperor and film empress to prop up the image always feels lacking. That's why Wang Jiawei's films never lack investment, because they fundamentally don't want to make money from films, only want to win awards, to boost the company's stature!" Lin Mo patiently explained.
Upon hearing, Re Ba suddenly realized: "No wonder Director Wang shoots films for years at a time, the investment isn't small, the films often lose money, yet many people still invest in him—now I get it!"
Mi Guo, NiuYue.
Fan Di Sai Er currently resides here.
For participating in *British Duel*, he also received a considerable salary, several hundred thousand dollars.
For someone who has been poor since childhood, this amount of money is already enough to sustain him for a long time.
He is now working out every day.
Because his Boss told him that the next film requires him to gain muscle.
Today, his good friend Paul came to hang out with him.
Paul Walker
He is also an actor.
Previously, his fame was somewhat greater than Fan Di Sai Er's.
However, since Fan Di Sai Er appeared in *British Duel*, his fame has greatly increased.
After all.
In the film, he actually has many opposing scenes with Shi Tailong.
Moreover, his iconic bald head with Jason is still very familiar.
"Vin, my good brother, you're now famous worldwide!" Upon meeting, Paul laughed and gave Fan Di Sai Er a hug.
"Don't joke!" Fan Di Sai Er laughed and gave him a punch.
"Isn't that so? That's Jackie. Chan, my idol!"
"I'm really jealous of you!"
Paul said with an envious face.
That's right.
At that time, when he heard his friend say he was collaborating with Jackie. Chan, he was completely bewildered.
He even thought Fan Di Sai Er was joking.
The result.
On the day British Duel premiered, it really shocked him.
He will definitely be envious.
But he still wished his good friend well in his heart.
"So, you've been working out every day, huh? You've practically become a Tyrannosaur warrior!" Paul exclaimed, unable to hold back upon seeing Fan Di Sai Er's muscular build.
"I'm preparing for my next film!" Fan Di Sai Er said.
Next film?
Hearing this, Paul instantly perked up and hurriedly asked, "You already have a next work this fast? Don't tell me you're collaborating with Jackie again!"
Fan Di Sai Er chuckled: "No, no, the director of The. Foreigner is Lin—you didn't know that, did you? I've already signed onto Lin's company....
"Lin, I know him—this young, well-funded director from Asia. If he promotes you, you could really blow up!" Paul said hurriedly.
As an insider, given how hot The. Foreigner (British Showdown) is globally upon release, everyone will naturally pay attention to the film's director.
They also learned that his previous film, Wolf Warrior, grossed 1.4 billion, and its current ranking is seventh on the global box office list.
British Duel ranked sixth.
"By then I can recommend you to the boss—since you haven't got any roles anyway, getting a part in there would be a good choice, and my boss is very generous!" Fan Di Sai Er added.
"OK!"
Paul laughed and said.
He really can't get any roles right now.
Mainly, he lacks fame, and nobody's looking for him.
