Chapter 36: Lin Mo, the Genius Director!

The premiere of "Charlotte's Trouble" is over!

Everyone began clapping.

Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Ning Hao, among others, even stood up.

"Junior brother, your film is superb—funny and moving; the comedy hides deep emotions and truths. Amazing!"

Xu Zheng looked seriously at Lin Mo and said.

Ning Hao didn't hold back, giving Lin Mo a thumbs‑up: "Director Lin, your directing skill is top‑notch!"

Huang Bo added, "Indeed, it's been ages since I've seen a film that makes me both laugh and cry!"

Upon hearing that, Xu Zheng immediately teased Huang Bo: "Huang Bo, you little guy admit you cried just now!"

"Hahaha!"

Earlier, Xu Zheng had seen Huang Bo wiping away tears secretly, but Huang Bo claimed something had gotten into his eye and refused to admit it.

Teacher Wang's eyes were full of satisfaction and pride. He looked at Lin Mo and said earnestly, "Xiao Lin, seeing your work achieve such success fills me with genuine pride. 'Charlotte's Trouble' not only showcases your talent as a director, but more importantly, you let the audience find resonance amid the laughter. That's exactly what I, as your teacher, most wish to see!"

Hearing this,

Lin Mo humbly replied, "Teacher Wang, you're overpraising!"

At that moment, Yang Mi walked over gracefully, smiling brightly at Lin Mo: "Boss Lin, congratulations on the film's huge hit!"

Lin Mo laughed in response, "Haha, thanks for the auspicious words, Mi Jie!"

As soon as the words finished, Re Ba and Xiao Tian hopped over, their faces excited as they gathered around Lin Mo.

Re Ba spoke first, eyes sparkling: "Mo Ge, the movie you made is wonderful; it even brought tears to my eyes!"

While saying that, the girl lightly brushed the nonexistent tears from the corner of her eye with the back of her hand.

Seeing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but smile and pinch her cheek.

Xiao Tian also said brightly, "Senior brother, congratulations, may our film blaze!"

Shen Teng, Ma Li and the other core cast gathered around, congratulating the blockbuster box office, each face beaming with happy smiles.

After all,

The film's quality is evident to everyone.

Besides interacting with them, Lin Mo also had to busy himself engaging the attending guests, among whom were many professional film critics.

At the premiere, these film critics were deeply moved by the movie.

Especially after seeing Lin Mo.

Their hearts were filled with even more emotion.

So young!

Hard to imagine!

'Charlotte's Trouble' could actually come from such a young director's hand!

Meanwhile, major cinemas

the audiences who finished watching 'Charlotte's Trouble'

each with tear tracks on their faces, some even held tissues lightly wiping their eye corners.

"This movie is amazing!"

"When I get home, I'll recommend it to my friends!"

"Yes, yes, I'll give them a concise recommendation so they all come see this film!"

"The ticket price was worth it!"

"No wonder even Yang Mi helped promote it; the movie truly is great!"

"Does this director have other works?"

"No, not at all!"

It's only 1:30 am now, not yet 2.

Since mobile phones have become increasingly advanced.

Night owls are also on the rise.

On Weibo.

Soon netizens began hotly discussing the film 'Charlotte's Trouble'.

Even

there are many more viewers.

After watching the film, the first thing they do is rush to Yang Mi's Weibo comments.

Various comments and reviews.

For example, "The movie recommended by Mi Jie is fantastic", "Strongly suggest everyone watch it", and so on.

Lin Mo,

He really should thank Yang Mi.

If it weren't for the Weibo post Yang Mi sent,

the audience coming to the premiere of 'Charlotte's Trouble' would have been about one‑third fewer.

Here,

Lin Mo and Re Ba got home; it was already 2:30 am.

As the host,

naturally they saw each guest off one by one.

Just arrived home,

Re Ba immediately grabbed her phone and started scrolling.

She.

She wants to see the netizens' reviews of Charlotte's Trouble.

Lin Mo looks at her with a doting expression, leisurely slips into his slippers, and, walking toward the sofa, laughs, "Why the rush?"

Re Ba doesn't even lift her head, smiling like a flower, "Of course I'm in a hurry; I want to see how netizens are reviewing our movie!"

As she speaks, she looks up at Lin Mo; the light in her eyes isn't just the phone screen's glow, but full of anticipation and joy: "Look, look, the praise is flooding in—everyone says the film is great, funny yet tear‑jerking, utterly moving!"

Lin Mo walks over, gently sits beside Re Ba, draping an arm over her shoulder: "If it makes you happy, that's all that matters. Trust me, our film's box office will blow everyone's mind!"

"Believe it! Of course I believe it!" Re Ba smiles with her eyes narrowed to slits, leaning on Lin Mo's shoulder, her happiness practically overflowing.

On the other side.

Xu Zheng, Ning Hao, and Huang Bo.

The three of them are in the car, still heatedly discussing Lin Mo's film Charlotte's Trouble.

"This movie's going to be a hit; I just checked the online reviews, they're all praise!" Huang Bo says while scrolling his phone's microblog.

"Director Lin is truly a prodigy—only twenty‑one, writes his own script, shoots his own film, sheer brilliance!" Ning Hao's eyes are full of admiration.

Xu Zheng shakes his head and sways, remarking, "Yeah, this kid is only twenty‑one this year. Think about it—what were we doing at twenty‑one?"

"I think Lin Mo can definitely become the leader of the seventh‑generation directors!" Ning Hao declares.

"That's a given—just look whose junior disciple he is!" Xu Zheng says with a smug grin.

Huang Bo laughs, teasing Xu Zheng: "Hey, you bald guy are pretty good at gilding your own face!"

The three exchange smiles, the car filled with a relaxed, cheerful atmosphere.

Seventh‑generation director!

There aren't many famous ones yet.

As for the sixth‑generation directors, Ning Hao is undoubtedly a standout, leading this generation's creative trend.

Figures like Jia Zhangke, Lu Chuan, Guan Hu, and so on, each with their prolific works, together form the rich tapestry of sixth‑generation directors.

Before, they only thought Lin Mo's eye was sharp, able to pinpoint the film market's pulse.

But after watching Charlotte's Trouble today.

Their opinions were completely overturned!

Lin Mo!

He is absolutely a genius director!
