Chapter 28: Xu Zheng: From Now On, With a Solid Script, Senior Brother Will Play the Male Lead for Free!

Back in Mo Du, Lin Mo's first thing was to visit Teacher Wang.

He specially bought a box of good tea leaves, because Teacher Wang likes that kind.

Knocking sounds, thump thump thump!

From inside the office came Teacher Wang's voice: "Come in!"

Wang Rui was buried in front of his computer working on a document; when he looked up and saw Lin Mo, he was startled at first, then his face broke into a smile: "Yo, kid, is the movie finished?"

"Finished, just got back yesterday!" Lin Mo replied with a smile, casually placing the tea leaves on the desk.

Teacher Wang glanced at the tea leaves, said little, but laughed teasingly: "You kid shoot movies pretty fast!"

"That's only because Teacher Wang helped!" Lin Mo said with a smile.

"I'll count you as having some conscience, finishing the film and still remembering to come see me first." Teacher Wang also laughed.

Then the two started chatting.

The topic naturally couldn't avoid the movie Charlotte's Trouble.

They stayed at Teacher Wang's place for about an hour.

Lin Mo only then prepared to leave.

It was supposed to be.

Lin Mo still thought about going to see Xiao Tian, but after thinking, he decided not to disturb her class.

Now.

Xiao Tian was also signed by him.

After all, the girl's looks and acting are easy to stand out.

Besides her.

There is also Ma Li, and Chen Zhong was also signed by Lin Mo together.

Shen Teng, Ma Li, Tian Xiwei and Chen Zhong.

These guys.

All of them are the sort who, once signed by Lin Mo, each is overjoyed for a while.

Putting other things aside.

Just the movie Charlotte's Trouble.

They have a hunch it will become a hit!

You should know.

This movie's investment is solely by Lin Mo, and the script was written by him, and he is also the director.

That's real talent!

Following Lin Mo, you'll definitely become famous in the future!

Isn't that a coincidence?

Lin Mo just arrived at the school gate.

He happened to run into Tian Xiwei.

She and a few girls came in, laughing and holding milk tea.

"Senior!"

Tian Xiwei, seeing Lin Mo, immediately ran over excitedly.

The girls beside her wore puzzled expressions.

Senior?

Is this handsome guy also from their school?

"I thought you were in class, so I didn't disturb you!" Lin Mo said with a smile.

"Senior, congratulations on the movie Wrap!" Tian Xiwei said with a beaming smile.

She had seen the news of Charlotte's Trouble's Wrap in the group chat a few days ago.

At that time, Lin Mo sent red packets in the group.

That girl snatched quite a few.

If it weren't for school, she probably would have wanted to go to the Wrap banquet.

After chatting a few words with Tian Xiwei, Lin Mo said, "You and your friends go have fun; when the movie premiere comes, I'll call you in advance to let you know."

"Mm-hmm!"

Tian Xiwei nodded happily.

When Lin Mo left.

Her few girlfriends only then ran over.

"Xiao Tian, this can't be your boyfriend, right?"

"Quickly, be honest, who is this handsome guy!"

"Exactly, exactly, Xiao Tian, you hid him too well!"

Tian Xiwei hurried to explain: "No way, Senior Lin Mo is in our cohort, also Teacher Wang's student. I wasn't filming before, I just joined his crew; he's the director…"

"Huh?"

So the handsome guy earlier was the director who was looking to cast Xiao Tian.

Immediately.

They immediately started gossiping, asking all sorts of questions.

But…

Tian Xiwei is not the type who doesn't know propriety.

He'll say what should be said, and naturally won't say what shouldn't.

The next few days.

Lin Mo and Chen Zhong plunged headfirst into post‑production of Charlotte's Trouble.

First comes the editing stage.

This is a huge undertaking.

After filming for over two months, the footage is practically massive.

Lin Mo is like a detective.

He carefully selects each shot, striving for every frame to precisely convey the film's emotion and story.

Of course.

The most important BGM of this drama.

Lin Mo naturally wouldn't forget it.

It's the soul, after all.

A week later.

The Charlotte's Trouble film is complete.

Next, it's taken to the authorities for review.

And Lin Mo isn't idle either.

He begins contacting the distribution chains.

Lin Mo still chooses Wanda as his partner.

The previously funded "33 Days of Breakup" also went to Wanda.

After all.

He and the head of Wanda's distribution have met before.

Because the last film succeeded, this time Lin Mo negotiated a larger share with Wanda.

Lin Mo just finished the wrap‑up work, feeling very relieved, and is planning how to relax for two days.

At that moment, the phone rang; seeing it was Xu Zheng, he didn't think twice and answered.

"Director Xu!"

"Junior brother, I heard you've finished the film!" Xu Zheng's voice came over the line.

Lin Mo was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "Senior brother, your news is so well‑informed! Yes, just finished it."

Xu Zheng laughed on the other end, "I was waiting for you to ask me to cameo, but your movie's already done—so fast!"

Lin Mo chuckled, joking, "My fault, my fault—I've been so busy filming I forgot everything. I'll treat you to a meal another day, senior brother!"

Actually, Lin Mo knows that these polite words are just for show; everyone just listens and moves on.

But Xu Zheng was surprisingly serious: "Don't wait for next time, let's do it today! Senior brother also wants to see your masterpiece soon and hear how your film turned out!"

Lin Mo, hearing that, felt the camaraderie and readily agreed, "Sure, senior brother, no problem!"

In the Entertainment Circle.

Connections are the most important.

So Director Xu personally invited him.

He naturally wouldn't stand him up.

Evening.

The two found a quiet spot, sipping tea while chatting about movies.

Xu Zheng listened to Lin Mo discuss the Charlotte's Trouble script, and was quite earnest.

After listening, he said straight away, "Junior brother, your script is good. Though I haven't seen the final cut, I trust your judgment; once the film releases, the box office will certainly be solid!"

Lin Mo heard that, his heart blossoming with joy, yet he modestly replied, "Haha, then I'll take senior brother's good words to heart!"

Xu Zheng shifted tone, patting his chest, "If you have any good scripts in the future, don't forget me, senior brother. As long as the script is solid, I'll play the male lead for free!"

Lin Mo, upon hearing that, quickly nodded, "No need to say more—being able to work with senior brother even makes me laugh awake in my dreams!"

"Then it's settled!" Xu Zheng cheerfully slapped the table.

"No problem, it's a promise!"

Lin Mo smiled so broadly his mouth couldn't close.
