Chapter 372: Old Schemer and Jiang Wen Have Arrived!

In the coming days.

Lin Mo also often went to the Hannibal set.

At the same time.

The second part of Speed and Passion was also about to start filming.

Yin Ziwei also had a role in it.

But his role was a supporting one, and he didn't need to appear that early; by the time he finished filming Hannibal, it was about the same.

The second Fast & Furious film would definitely continue the ending of the first at the beginning.

So, they were filming the plot of Fast & Furious 6.

After Tang Laoda and his team successfully escaped from Neluo, they were again drawn into a global criminal conspiracy; although they had stolen 200 million dollars, they could not return to their own countries because of their criminal records.

The FBI agent played by Jushi Johnson found Tang Laoda's gang, hoping they could join forces to help catch a mercenary crime syndicate; as long as they completed the mission, their criminal records would be wiped clean.

The filming location was to be changed to Saudi Arabia.

It wasn't too disjointed.

Moreover, Saudi Prince Salman could provide all kinds of assistance.

This was much more convenient and relaxed than filming in other countries.

Besides.

Being able to gain a country's royal friendship is even rarer than money.

Recently, the news that Lin Mo's personally directed new drama had started filming spread all over the internet.

After all.

The Hannibal set had so many staff members.

There were definitely people leaking to the paparazzi.

Just kidding, this is all traffic.

Online, it also sparked a huge discussion.

"Ah? It's already starting to film?"

"So fast, I remember this news wasn't just out a few days ago?"

"It's not Director Lin filming it; it's other directors from his company!"

"I'm just an extra in the Hannibal crew; these days Director Lin often comes to the set, and Director Chen Xing's filming style was also taught hand‑by‑hand by Lin Mo!"

"I heard Yin Ziwei is playing a pervert this time?"

"A pervert? Holy shit, isn't that Yin Ziwei's trademark?"

"Speaking of perverts, I immediately think of Yin Ziwei's god‑level moves in Absolute Thief…"

"......"

Upon mentioning this pervert role,

Netizens instantly recalled the movies Yin Ziwei had appeared in.

The most classic of them,

that must be the pervert he played in Absolute Thief, tsk tsk… 'Knocking Down the Kun Through the Wall'.

Here.

Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou came to Mo Du.

Zhang Yimou had attended an event in Yanjing two days earlier, and Jiang Wen happened to be there too.

So the two talked about Lin Mo.

So they directly came together to check out the set.

They wanted to see the script that Lin Mo personally directed.

Although Jiang Wen's new film was also in preparation.

But his pace couldn't compare to Lin Mo's.

It's estimated that by the time the second Speed and Passion film starts shooting, Jiang Wen's new movie still won't have begun.

Before they came, they had already called Lin Mo in advance; his assistant Xiao Rou had been waiting early at the set's gate.

Seeing Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou, Xiao Rou hurried forward and respectfully said, "Director Jiang, Director Zhang!"

The two were not strangers to Xiao Rou; they smiled and nodded.

Under Xiao Rou's guidance, they entered the set.

Just after entering the set, they saw Lin Mo fully focused on directing the shoot.

Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou did not disturb him; instead, they stood to the side and watched quietly.

The surrounding actors and crew recognized the two veteran directors and were about to go forward to greet them, but Jiang Wen stopped them with a gesture.

He lightly made a "shh" gesture, indicating everyone should keep quiet.

At that moment, Lin Mo stared at the monitor and told Chen Xing beside him, "Keep this state; later add a close‑up shot, making sure to watch their eye contact."

Chen Xing nodded and replied, "Got it, Boss!"

Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou stood aside, whispering to each other.

Zhang Yimou looked at the monitor and softly said to Jiang Wen, "You see, Yin Ziwei's performance has great depth, Deng Chao's performance is also very steady, and their opposite‑scene acting is full of tension."

Jiang Wen nodded.

Afterward, Zhang Yimou couldn't help but utter his classic line: "This is what a veteran actor is like—his acting is beyond words."

About a minute later, the scene finished filming.

With a "click" sound, Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou then walked forward.

Zhang Yimou laughed and shouted, "Director Lin!"

Lin Mo heard the voice, turned his head, and saw Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou, and immediately smiled: "Old brother, Director Zhang!"

Chen Xing, seeing the two great directors, also hurriedly gave a respectful greeting.

Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou smiled and nodded their heads in response.

Just see, Jiang Wen patted Lin Mo's shoulder, laughing and said: "Young brother, you've been busy to the point of being unable to cope lately! Fast and Furious 2 is about to start filming, and you even personally wrote a script—awesome!"

Before, when they were in Yanjing.

Lin Mo had told him that the second part of Fast and Furious was already being prepared; although he wasn't the executive director, he would also fly to Saudi Arabia to supervise the filming.

But Jiang Wen never expected that Lin Mo still had the energy to work on another drama.

This is somewhat inconsistent with his personality.

Jiang Wen and Lin Mo have known each other for so long that they long ago understood his personality.

That's the kind of person who would sit rather than stand.

Lin Mo smiled, waved his hand, and said: "Hey, old brother, stop teasing me—Hannibal isn't something I directed and filmed; I'm just coming over to keep an eye on things for a few days, and next week I still have to fly to Saudi Arabia for a trip, and I also have to oversee the Fast & Furious 2 side."

Jiang Wen heard it and couldn't help but shake her head and laugh: "Your energy is truly abundant; if it were me, I couldn't bear it."

Zhang Yimou also spoke up, asking: "Director Lin, will our coming over affect your filming?"

Lin Mo laughed heartily and said: "Director Zhang, with you and my old brother coming here, the whole crew has brightened up! We would be grateful for your guidance."

"Haha!"

At this moment, Yin Ziwei and Deng Chao also walked over.

Seeing Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou, the two hurried forward to greet them.

Yin Ziwei respectfully said: "Director Jiang, Director Zhang!"

Deng Chao, on the other hand, appeared more enthusiastic, after all he had previously collaborated with Zhang Yimou, and their relationship had always been good.

He smiled and said: "Director Zhang, long time no see!"

Zhang Yimou smiled and replied: "Deng Chao, your acting has become more and more stable; I really enjoyed that scene just now."

Deng Chao humbly said: "Director Zhang, you're overpraising me!"

After a few exchanges of pleasantries, Lin Mo invited Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou to sit down in the rest area.

Then...

Jiang Wen couldn't wait to hear what Lin Mo's script was about.
