Chapter 375: Sa Lei Man: Don't Let These Worldly Things Tarnish Our Pure Friendship!

Almost a week and a bit later.

Lin Mo should also start preparing to fly to Saudi Arabia.

As for the progress of the series Hannibal, it's going quite fast.

They're already a third of the way through filming.

I estimate it'll be finished by next month.

Can't help it.

Not every director is as fast as him!

Ahem, this "fast" isn't a pejorative, okay? Don't misunderstand.

Lin Mo naturally took his Private Jet.

The route had been approved long ago.

After more than ten hours, they officially arrived at Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

This reception lacked the exaggerated fanfare of last time—no chartered plane, no convoy of luxury cars, and no helicopter escort.

Prince Sa Lei Man sent his trusted aide to welcome Lin Mo; after all, he is busy with countless affairs and doesn't have much free time.

On the way, Lin Mo received a message from Prince Sa Lei Man saying he was hosting a foreign leader and couldn't greet him personally, apologizing and suggesting they have dinner together in the evening.

Lin Mo was both amused and exasperated, and quickly replied that he understood.

Over here.

Arrived at the hotel.

Chen Zhong and Luo Kai heard that the Boss had arrived.

They hurried over to welcome him.

The word "welcome" might be a bit off, but it's basically that.

"Boss!"

Both were very respectful.

After this overseas trip, the two finally realized how powerful the Boss's influence is.

He could literally swipe his face for everything…

"How's it going, after a few days here, are you getting used to it?" Lin Mo asked with a smile.

Luo Kai hurriedly replied, "Boss, Lao Chen and I are fine; it's just that many people on the team are a bit unaccustomed to the local conditions."

Chen Zhong added, "Boss, rest assured, we won't delay the filming schedule!"

Lin Mo smiled, patting their shoulders, "Everyone's health comes first; we'll talk once they're recovered, no rush."

Then he asked, "What about them, have they arrived?"

When Lin Mo said "them", he was certainly referring to Jushi Johnson, Paul, and the others.

"They arrived, yesterday!" Luo Kai replied.

"Yeah!"

Afternoon.

Lin Mo met with the cast of Fast and Furious 2.

Everyone was already that familiar, joking around casually.

So Gal Gadot, seeing that her partner Yin Ziwei wasn't there, curiously asked, "Where's Terence?"

Terence is Yin Ziwei's English name.

"Oh, he's shooting another film and will fly over later," Lin Mo said.

Paul beside him teased, "Gal, you miss Terence that much? Want me to video‑call him so you can catch up?"

Gal Gadot gave him a withering glance and said nothing.

Everyone laughed.

Of course, it was just a joke.

Everyone knows Yin Ziwei is married, he has a wife.

When they first filmed Fast and Furious, Yin Ziwei's wife Xu Dongdong was also there.

She stayed with Yin Ziwei on set for a long time.

Even.

She was even present for the scene where Yin Ziwei and Gal Gadot shared a passionate car kiss.

Back then, while filming that scene, Lin Mo asked her whether she minded anything.

Xu Dongdong laughed and said she didn't mind at all.

Not to mention kissing.

Presumably, when Lin Mo arranged an even bigger scene for Yin Ziwei, she thought it was no big deal.

Because…

It's Director Lin's film, after all.

Getting to act in his film is truly a once‑in‑a‑three‑lifetimes blessing.

Haven't you seen what Yin Ziwei looks like now?

As Teacher Ben Shan famously said, "He still has to say thank you!"

Evening.

Lin Mo went to see Prince Sa Lei Man.

Prince Sa Lei Man was still very enthusiastic; upon seeing Lin Mo, he immediately gave him a hug.

"Lin, welcome back to Saudi Arabia!" Sa Lei Man said with a smile.

"Salman, thank you very much for your warm hospitality!"

Lin Mo also responded with a smile.

Hearing that, Salman waved his hand and said, "Lin, don't let these worldly things affect our pure friendship!"

Good fellow!

Listen, listen, they call money that thing a worldly thing…

Learned another pretentious word.

Save it; can bring it up later.

Ahem.

Then the two sat down, eating and chatting.

Salman said seriously, "Lin, if you can bring your team to Saudi to shoot the new film, remember to contact me if any difficulty arises; I will do everything I can to help you!"

Hearing that, Lin Mo smiled, "Saudi is such a beautiful place; more people should get to see it."

Indeed.

A saying from our Huaguo is never out of date.

Flattery never gets old.

People like to hear compliments.

Regardless of foreigners or compatriots.

Look at Salman; he smiles so happily at this.

Even Ak can't hold back his grin!

Then Salman said, "If needed, I'll have the Saudi army cooperate with your filming!"

"That's really great!"

Can't argue that.

It can truly be added.

Seeing this scene, isn't it familiar?

Back then, Brother Cheng Long shot the film "Who Am I" in the Netherlands, with sea, land, and air cooperation, even bringing an aircraft carrier for filming…

Didn't expect he also got such treatment.

Which wasn't needed in the movie.

Moreover, Saudi doesn't have it; presumably, even if Lin Mo makes this request, Prince Salman would find a way to satisfy it.

After all.

Speed and Passion 2 begins filming in Saudi.

The news has already spread worldwide.

Fans around the world are looking forward to Speed and Passion 2.

The fifth day in Saudi.

During these five days, the crew's core creators have been adapting to the environment here.

This "unaccustomed water and soil" thing really needs attention.

Vomiting and diarrhea is no joke.

Fortunately, there are no major problems.

That's it.

Speed and Passion 2 officially started filming in Saudi.

Lin Mo didn't prepare any opening ceremony; it's a mess.

Because he no longer needs it at all.

But still.

Promotion still needs to be done.

For example, when the film starts, the opening still photos and such still need to be posted online.

Of course, these are handed over to Liu Qin.

Soon.

Morning Light's official Weibo updated a set of photos, with a caption: "Speed and Passion 2 Saudi, officially launched!!!"

Once the post went out,

It instantly caused a stir.

"Ahhh, the second part is finally filming!"

"Looking forward!"

"If they shoot now, it'll probably be next year before we can see it, right?"

"Director Lin, dare you finish in three months?"

"Three months? Underestimating Director Lin, huh? One month is enough!"

"Lin Mo: You can do it, you come!!!"

"Hahaha, the few jokers upstairs!"

"Really hope it finishes early, releases early!"

"......"
