Chapter 309: We Are Family!

Re Ba arrived in Rio, and Lin Mo personally drove a car to the airport to pick her up.

When she saw the man she had been thinking about, Re Ba got so excited that she instantly threw herself into Lin Mo's arms and shouted happily, "Mo Ge, I've missed you!"

"I missed you too!" Lin Mo replied with a smile, gently patting Re Ba's back.

They hadn't seen each other for almost a month.

Although they chatted via video every few days, the Face to Face feeling was completely different.

"Let's go, back to the hotel first!"

"Alright!"

Re Ba responded happily.

Fortunately, this is abroad, and they're not any superstars, so no one is watching them.

Sitting in the car, Re Ba asked curiously, "Mo Ge, why are you so free today? Isn't the crew shooting anything?"

Actually, Re Ba never expected Lin Mo to pick her up personally.

After all, he's a director; filming keeps him swamped, so how could he have time?

Hearing Re Ba's question, Lin Mo smiled and explained, "I've basically handed the drama portions over to Chen Zhong and Luo Kai; it's mainly to train them. The sequels after Fast & Furious will all rely on those two to direct."

"Oh, so that's it!" Re Ba immediately understood.

Ahem.

Lin Mo is simply lazy.

He even calls it "training people" as a nice excuse.

First, they returned to the hotel.

Having not seen each other for so long, they spent a while being affectionate in the hotel room.

Not until the evening, after dinner, did Lin Mo set off for the crew.

In recent days, he has largely left the drama shooting to Chen Zhong and Luo Kai.

After all, both are seasoned directors; they may lack experience with big‑scale scenes, but drama shooting is a piece of cake for them.

Upon arriving at the crew, everyone had just finished their meal.

Seeing Lin Mo arrive, everyone enthusiastically greeted him, "Director Lin, hello!"

Chen Zhong and Luo Kai, seeing this, hurried over with a light jog.

Of course they knew the Boss was here to pick up the Boss's Wife.

So, upon seeing Re Ba, the two respectfully called out.

"Director Chen, Director Luo, hello!" Re Ba smiled back to them.

Then Lin Mo looked at the two and said, "Tonight's night scene, the factory segment, you two will shoot it while I watch from the side."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the two were stunned. They were completely unprepared!

The scene Lin Mo described involves Tang Laoda's crew stealing a car from the local police station, then returning to their base to repeatedly test speeds, looking for the fastest vehicles to evade camera tracking.

Though not a big‑scale production, it's fine to let them practice.

Chen Zhong was the first to react, promptly replying, "Okay, Boss!"

Luo Kai echoed in agreement.

Although unprepared, having learned beside the Boss for so long, they've surely picked up a lot.

Next.

Lin Mo then explained to them the kind of shots and effects he wanted.

Re Ba, having nothing to do, was chatting with big sister Xu Dongdong nearby.

Xu Dongdong was there to visit her man's set; Yin Ziwei was playing the role of South Korea, an important and charismatic figure in Tang Laoda's gang.

That day Lin Mo joked, "After Fast & Furious releases, Xu Dongdong will become popular; I bet a swarm of female fans will start fawning over Yin Ziwei."

Yin Ziwei and Xu Dongdong just smiled, thinking Lin Mo was merely joking.

Soon, the abandoned factory scenes began filming.

From 7:30 p. m. to around 10 p. m., filming proceeded smoothly.

Chen Zhong and Luo Kai got the hang of it quickly and soon were in the zone.

"Click!"

After the final shot, they wrapped up!

Lin Mo stood aside, applauding the two.

The crew members also began clapping, the atmosphere very lively.

"Well done!"

"Well done!" Lin Mo's words made Chen Zhong and Luo Kai feel delighted, as if they'd received great satisfaction.

The two laughed, scratching their heads, overjoyed inside.

They're all in their thirties, yet at this moment they're as thrilled as children getting a teacher's commendation, grinning from ear to ear.

"Boss, we'll work even harder!"

The two instantly showed their resolve.

Lin Mo smiled, patted both of their shoulders, and said nothing.

He wanted to say.

"Keep working hard; the more you strive, the easier it gets for me."

For the next week, the crew mainly focused on drama shooting.

Fan Di Sai Er and Paul, the two leads, have gradually immersed themselves in their roles.

Lin Mo, meanwhile, kept emphasizing to Fan Di Sai Er the traits of the Tang Laoda role, especially that classic line '. family!'

Funny enough, every time Lin Mo says that line, he can't help thinking of Deng Chao.

Re Ba, standing nearby, couldn't help laughing when she heard Lin Mo coaching Fan Di Sai Er on his lines, repeatedly mentioning '. family!'

"Mo Ge, did you get this line's inspiration from Chao Ge? Haha!" Re Ba laughed so hard she couldn't stop, teasing Lin Mo.

She then added: "I reckon, when this movie comes out, as soon as that line appears, the audience will inevitably think of Chao Ge!"

"Cough cough, I'm fine, the line isn't as demonic as Chao Ge's!" Lin Mo also laughed at Re Ba's teasing, responding.

As for Fan Di Sai Er,

He had no idea what the '. family' meme was.

He just felt that the line really suited Tang Laoda.

The filming of Fast & Furious continued busily, and before he knew it, it was mid-June. Finally, they were about to shoot the big scenes.

Exactly, it was on the streets of Rio, with two supercars dragging a safe, crashing wildly in an epic shot.

Lin Mo had watched Fast & Furious 5 in his previous life so many times he couldn't count, and thinking about shooting this scene soon made him a little excited.

As for the venue issue,

That's easy to say—Lin Mo had already contacted Dan Ni Er two weeks prior, and with his help, shooting in Rio went smoothly.

That's the benefit of having connections!

Of course, those connections weren't Lin Mo's own, but Cheng Long's older brother's.

If it weren't for Long Shu's connections, it would hardly be possible for Lin Mo to get this movie filmed so smoothly.
