Chapter 319: Teacher He's Call, an Exclusive Interview?

The moment the pre‑sale ticket channel for Speed and Passion opened.

The entire internet went crazy for it.

Other countries don't know, but in Huaguo…

Watching Lin Mo's movies has already become a trend indicator.

If you're a young person and haven't seen Director Lin's movies,

then you're out!

(Borrowing Kai Zi's classic quote /dog head/)

There are conditional movie fans.

They're not in a hurry.

If you can't get tickets domestically and can't see the Speed and Passion premiere, just go abroad to watch it.

Of course.

Those who can travel abroad just to see a movie.

They wouldn't end up unable to get tickets.

If you can't get them, you can buy them at a high price, right?

Are we really to think these fans are all die‑hard followers of Lin Mo?

Tickets costing dozens, a hundred.

If others spend a few hundred or a thousand to buy from you, wouldn't you sell?

As everyone knows.

Huaguo is not short of rich people.

In just a few days.

Speed and Passion's pre‑sale box office has already broken 1 billion!

In November, only Speed and Passion was released.

In fact, there aren't many movies in this period.

Everyone is holding back, waiting for the Spring Festival slot.

As for the domestic cinema chains, they're certainly planning to schedule Speed and Passion back‑to‑back.

You have to know that Director Lin's movies have never lacked an audience.

These cinema owners have all watched Speed and Passion's trailer.

They have a very strong premonition.

This time, Director Lin's movie is really going to sell out!

They even directly ask the heads of major theaters to open as many showings as possible.

This situation hasn't happened just once.

Like the earlier War Wolf and British Duel.

Cinemas keep adding showings, yet they still can't block the audience's enthusiasm.

In short,

These cinema owners are all waiting to make money.

You could say that.

The ones most eager for Lin Mo's new film aren't the fans, but the cinema owners.

They wish Lin Mo would make two or three movies a year.

If that were the case,

they'd go crazy making money.

Over here,

Lin Mo is at home watching a variety show with Re Ba.

Today's variety shows just cycle through a few, like Running Man, Extreme Challenge, Ace vs Ace, and The Life We Aspire To.

Regarding the frenzy over Speed and Passion's pre‑sale tickets.

Lin Mo had long foreseen it.

In contrast, Re Ba is overjoyed; her man's movie hasn't even premiered, yet its pre‑sale tickets have already smashed the 1 billion mark and broken all records—how could she not be excited?

Just then, Lin Mo's phone rang.

He picked it up and saw the caller ID: Teacher He.

Lin Mo was a bit stunned, and Re Ba, seeing the caller's name, exclaimed in surprise, "Huh, it's Teacher He's call!"

Lin Mo has a good relationship with Teacher He.

For this Speed and Passion press conference, he also called Teacher He.

When the call connected, Teacher He's familiar voice came through: "Director Lin!"

"Teacher He!" Lin Mo replied with a smile.

Re Ba, being considerate, turned the TV volume down a bit.

"Director Lin, congratulations, congratulations! Your new film's pre‑sale box office has once again set a new record in the Chinese‑language film industry!"

"Hey, that's all because the audience is so enthusiastic; I don't have that much skill."

"Director Lin, you're being too modest; watching your movies has become a fashion trend now!"

"Haha, Teacher He, what you say makes me embarrassed!"

After a few more pleasantries, Teacher He got to the point: "Director Lin, here's the thing—we at the station want to produce a special interview program about you, with me and Wang Han as hosts. Do you have any free time lately?"

Yes.

This is the task assigned by the station's leadership to him and Wang Han.

There's nothing we can do; the heat for Fast and Furious lately is too high!

As one of the TV stations most loved by young people, Mango TV naturally cannot miss this hot topic.

Moreover, He Lao and Wang Han have a pretty good relationship with Lin Mo, so they thought about doing an exclusive interview to boost the show's ratings.

Lin Mo thought for a moment, then smiled and said, 'Sure, I've been free these days.'

As for the movie's release, he doesn't need to worry about it.

The publicity is handled by Liu Qin.

After all.

Domestically, Lin Mo's movies don't need any promotion at all—look, the advance ticket sales are already sold out.

As for overseas,

Thanks to the success of the previous film, British Duel, this time trailers for Fast and Furious are everywhere on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

Nowadays it's the internet age—who still goes offline to do promotion?

Upon hearing Lin Mo's agreement, He Lao excitedly said, 'All right, Director Lin, just set a time—I'll fly over with Wang Han right away!'

'Then let's do it tomorrow—when the time comes, I'll arrange a gathering to welcome you!'

He Lao quickly said, 'Director Lin, you're being too polite.'

They chatted a few more words before hanging up.

After hanging up, Re Ba said, 'Mo Ge, Mango TV wants to interview you!'

Lin Mo smiled and nodded: 'Yeah, He Lao said their station wants to do an exclusive interview with me.'

Re Ba nodded: 'That's right—given how hot Fast and Furious is right now, it's normal for Mango TV to have such an idea.'

On the other side, at Mango TV, after seeing He Lao hang up, Ouyang station chief and Wang Han couldn't wait to ask, 'Old He, how did it go?'

He Lao replied with a smile, 'Director Lin has agreed—we'll fly to Mo Du tomorrow!'

Upon hearing that, Ouyang station chief beamed, 'Great!' He then patted He Lao and Wang Han on the shoulders, saying, 'Old He, Old Wang, this exclusive interview is up to you!'

Wang Han said confidently, 'If Director Lin's exclusive interview airs right before the release of Fast and Furious, the show's ratings will definitely go through the roof!'

'That's a must!'
