Chapter 342: Morning Light

2021.

Lin Mo will be 27 this year.

He really is about to rush into his thirties in the blink of an eye!

This year's New Year.

Lin Mo plans to bring both sets of parents to Mo Du for the New Year.

After all, he and Re Ba are both only children.

Parents, which one wouldn't like their child to come back?

So having the two families celebrate together is the best.

This year's Spring Festival Gala.

They had previously wanted to invite Lin Mo.

But at that time Lin Mo was filming Fast and Furious and had no time at all.

Even his own major life events were a bit rushed.

Mainly, participating in the Spring Festival Gala once is enough.

It counts as fulfilling a dream.

Morning.

Lin Mo goes to Teacher Wang's house for a visit.

Teacher Wang is quite surprised to learn that Lin Mo will spend the New Year in Mo Du this year.

"Oh, so that's how it is!" Teacher Wang immediately understood after Lin Mo's explanation, after all he also has a beloved daughter.

"Speaking of which, Huihui is returning next week. A while ago she called me and mentioned you, saying many of her classmates are your fans and constantly talk about your movies. That girl also told me that when she comes back she'll have me invite you over for a meal!" Teacher Wang smiled brilliantly.

"No problem, I'm free; just give me a call when the time comes!"

Lin Mo also said with a smile.

Lin Mo still holds great respect for his mentor.

Afterward, he stayed at Teacher Wang's house for a while longer before leaving.

Then, before the New Year, he went to the company.

It's almost New Year, after all.

Although celebrities are usually very busy, this year they still have to celebrate.

So Lin Mo, who hasn't seen them for a long time, plans to hold a meeting before the New Year, also to check on them.

Now, Morning Light Media is already a behemoth in the Entertainment Circle.

Mainland… no. It should be the largest entertainment film and television company in all of Huaguo.

The absolute leader.

The company also has many artists.

The core remains unchanged, such as Shen Teng, Wu Jing, Ma Li, Zhang Songwen, Tian Xiwei, Chen Yao, Yang Chaoyue and others.

As for the artists Liu Qin has signed himself,

they are relatively young, following the idol drama route.

Lin Mo has also met at the company a few times, but isn't very familiar.

Morning Light Media.

Conference room.

Wu Jing, Shen Teng and the others had already arrived.

Directors like Chen Zhong and Luo Kai had also paused their pre‑New‑Year work.

The big group is chatting animatedly in the conference room.

After all, they've known each other for many years.

Moreover, the atmosphere among Morning Light's artists is very good.

There is no 'top guy' or 'top gal' bullying newcomers.

Let's put it that way.

At Morning Light Media, there isn't even a 'top guy' or 'top gal'...

Just like the line Shen Teng said on the Ace show.

At that time someone asked Shen Teng who the 'top guy' and 'top gal' were at Morning Light Media.

Shen Teng replied:

He said Morning Light Media has no so‑called 'top guy' or 'top gal', because a newly signed rookie actor could very well become the lead male or female star in the boss's next film.

That would launch them straight to the heavens.

The best example is Chen Yao.

She was signed to Morning Light right after entering college.

Then her first role was the female lead in 'Wolf Warrior', a hundred‑billion‑box‑office heroine.

She then starred as the female lead in the massive hit Celebrating the Remaining Years.

One could say her star path has been smooth sailing.

Online, netizens often tease Chen Yao, calling her the perfect novel heroine template.

"Director Wang, if The Wandering Earth 2 has a role that fits me, remember to Call me!" Shen Teng grinned, joking with the company's director Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng.

He is currently in charge of The Wandering Earth project.

So the film being heavily promoted lately is The Wandering Earth, and the premiere is in ten days.

"Brother Wang, don't forget me! I can play any role, unlike Tengge who's picky!" Wei Xiang also joined in the fun from the side, smiling as he spoke.

"Screw you!"

Shen Teng laughed and cursed, the two exchanged banter, making everyone burst into laughter.

At that moment, Lin Mo pushed the door open and entered; as soon as he came in, he heard laughter inside.

"Hey, what are you chatting about, so happy? I could hear your laughter from outside!" Lin Mo also asked with a smile.

Upon seeing Lin Mo arrive, everyone hurriedly stood to greet: "Boss!"

"Have a seat, have a seat, there's no outsider here!" Lin Mo waved his hand, indicating everyone need not be formal.

Although the Boss said that, everyone knew full well in their hearts.

After mixing in the Entertainment Circle for so long, what scene haven't I seen?

"The Boss calls you brother, but don't really think of yourself as his brother!"

After sitting down, Lin Mo first looked at Wang Cheng and Wu Jing: "Lao Wang, Brother Jing, the movie is about to premiere, are you confident?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng's face instantly broke into a grin: "Boss, I'm quite confident; this film will surely become a benchmark of Chinese-language sci-fi!"

He definitely has confidence in this movie The Wandering Earth.

The script came from Director Lin's hand.

Moreover, after the finished film came out, Director Lin also watched it and was very satisfied.

So, how could he lack confidence?

Wu Jing also said with a smile: "Boss, just like Director Wang, I'm full of confidence in the new film The Wandering Earth!"

"Haha, that's good; I was worried you two would be nervous as all get-out!" Lin Mo joked.

Then Lin Mo turned his gaze to Shen Teng: "Tengge, I heard you outside just now—do you want to act in The Wandering Earth 2?"

"Hehe, Boss, I was just asking casually, seeing if there's a suitable role for me. If there is, I'll definitely not shirk it!" Shen Teng patted his chest, looking utterly resolute, and he amused everyone again—Lin Mo included.

"This film really doesn't have a proper role for you. But later you can have Lao Wang arrange a cameo for you, Ma Li, Lao Wei, Xiao Tian—you all the same!" Lin Mo said with a smile.

"The Wandering Earth 2 is indeed a big production; filming it will probably take a year and a half!" Lin Mo added.

Yes.

The Wandering Earth 2 can be said to be an epic masterpiece of Huaguo sci-fi cinema.

Just building the sets, various preparations will likely take several months.

Even if Lin Mo were to direct it, it would still take half a year.

Needless to say, Wang Cheng and the others.

Lin Mo, having seen the original film, has a rough picture in mind, but Wang Cheng and the others don't, so they need to slowly figure it out to be able to shoot it.

"Xiao Tian, Xiao Chen, and Chao Yue, your Joy of Life 2 will also premiere after the new year, right?" Lin Mo turned to ask the three of them.

"Yes, Boss, Sister Liu already told us it'll premiere on the fifth day of the first lunar month!" Xiao Tian answered with a smile.

In such a formal setting, her address to her Senior Brother must naturally be the proper "Boss".

Only in private do they affectionately call her Senior Brother.

Afterwards, Lin Mo went around greeting each of the others personally.

Evening.

Lin Mo had Xiao Rou book a restaurant; this could count as the company's annual meeting, right?

Of course, red envelopes, gifts, etc., are definitely there.

Lin Mo isn't exactly a stingy person.

Cough cough...

These people are all his money trees!

He's just hoping to make money off them.
