Chapter 365: Director Lin's influence is insanely strong!

Here, Re Ba was sitting with Gong Li chatting.

Only Re Ba would dare—look at other actresses, who would dare sit with Empress Gong?

First, their star power doesn't match; moreover, that aura would completely overwhelm them.

But Re Ba is different; she chats with Gong Li quite comfortably.

Women, the topics they talk about naturally aren't about films and TV.

Gong Li teased Re Ba with a smile: "You and Director Lin, when are you going to have a kid?"

Hearing that, Re Ba laughed and replied: "Maybe next year—Mo Ge said he'll keep me company next year~"

Gong Li listened, laughing even happier: "If Director Lin's fans heard this news, they'd probably think the sky is falling!"

Re Ba waved her hand, laughing: "No way~!"

The two chatted for a while, then Zhang Ziyi came over.

She and Re Ba are old acquaintances; as for Gong Li, needless to say.

Although the opening of this Yanjing International Film Festival had no live broadcast, quite a few videos still leaked out.

For example, footage of Lin Mo bringing Re Ba to the Yanjing Film Festival opening quickly rose to the top of hot searches.

The comment sections went crazy.

"Huh? Director Lin also participated?"

"Huh? Why doesn't this Yanjing International Film Festival have a live broadcast?"

"Same question!"

"I just scrolled Douyin and saw lots of videos of Director Lin at the International Film Festival!"

"Turns out Director Lin, like me, doesn't love those lovey-dovey movies!"

"When are Re Ba and Director Lin having a kid? I'm preparing to send a gift!"

"I've already sent Director Lin several gifts for *Fast and Furious*!"

Here.

On the way back.

In the car.

Re Ba looked curiously at Lin Mo: "Honey, I just saw you chatting with a new director—does he have a lot of talent?"

Earlier, when she was chatting with Gong Li Jie, she had already noticed this.

Gong Li Jie also told her that the young director makes animation.

Lin Mo nodded and smiled: "Yes, he's very talented! Besides, Director Yang is also my fellow hometowner!"

"Huh?" Re Ba was surprised.

"Yeah, he's from Lu Xian!"

"Lu Xian—isn't that where we went up Jade Toad Mountain last time?"

"Exactly!"

Earlier, during the New Year.

Lin Mo had taken Re Ba to play around the outskirts of Lu Zhou.

Among them was Jade Toad Mountain.

Re Ba then asked: "Honey, are you planning to invest in Director Yang?"

She knows her man's eye for talent.

Just kidding.

Back then, Mo Ge's pick *Lost Love Thirty-Three Days*—a 4 million investment returning 60 million—is now a legend in the circle.

Could that eye for talent be any worse?

Lin Mo nodded: "Yeah, I have that idea!"

Immediately, he recalled Yang Yu's divine move from earlier and told Re Ba about it.

After hearing it, Re Ba laughed hysterically: "Haha, Director Yang is that funny~"

Laughing aside.

She naturally could understand Director Yang Yu's excited, nervous feelings.

This Yanjing International Film Festival.

*Hit a Big Watermelon* won the Best Animated Short Gold Award.

It also stirred up a wave of heat online.

Originally.

This film wasn't getting much attention.

But it went viral because, in the videos circulating online, Director Lin chatted with the director of *Hit a Big Watermelon* and even proactively added him on WeChat.

Instantly, it sparked netizens' curiosity.

Everyone wondered.

Holy shit!

Who is this person?

Is he that awesome?

Even Director Lin personally added him on WeChat.

So everyone went to search for and watch the animated short *Hit a Big Watermelon*.

Instantly, this short exploded in popularity!

"Whoa, is this made by a new director?"

"Holy shit, this animation is awesome!"

"666!"

"Hiss... No wonder it could win the animation gold award!"

"This director is really talented!"

"Damn awesome, this shoot!"

"......"

Soon, this animated short went viral across the net!

Douyin, Weibo, and Bilibili all went crazy.

Good fellow!

After returning, Yang Yu and his team were all dumbfounded.

Huh?

What's going on?

How did their animated short suddenly blow up?

Later, after learning the full story.

Only then did they understand what was going on.

"It still has to be Director Lin!"

"Yeah, Director Lin's influence is too damn awesome!"

"Brother Yang, when Director Lin later looks for you, could you help us get an autograph?"

"Yes yes yes, Brother Yang, help me get one too!"

Yang Yu's team members.

Each one of them was excitedly saying.

Seeing this, Yang Yu also just gave a wry smile: "Director Lin might have just been on a whim; later he might even forget me!"

Yes.

Yang Yu didn't really take this to heart.

Director Lin is some big shot.

Adding his WeChat might have just been a passing interest.

He might even forget who he is after turning away...

After all.

He's encountered too many things like this.

The result...

The day after the opening ceremony of the Yanjing Guoji Dianying Jie ended.

That morning, he had just finished eating noodles outside when he saw Director Lin send him a voice message.

"Director Yang, are you free today? Let's have a meal at noon..."

Upon hearing this.

Yang Yu then eagerly opened the voice message and quickly said: "Yes, yes, Director Lin, I'm free anytime; when the time comes, send me the location, I... I..."

Because he was too excited, he stuttered.

Fortunately, that voice message wasn't sent.

Immediately, he canceled the voice message and instead typed a reply to Director Lin's message.

Not even a few seconds passed.

Director Lin replied to him.

He said to have a meal at noon at xxxx restaurant.

Now Yang Yu was completely overexcited!
