Chapter 378: with translation of chapter title

Saudi.

Riyadh.

Here, there are two very iconic buildings.

One is the Kingdom Tower, the other is the King Tower.

In these days since arriving in Saudi, Chen Zhong and Luo Kai have been in charge of site deployment.

Lin Mo, though.

He wasn't idle either; he went to check out these iconic buildings in Saudi to see if they could be worked into the plot.

Take the Kingdom Tower he's seeing now: it stands 311 meters tall, its top features a unique arch‑shaped void design that can resist sandstorm erosion.

In his plan, this place is perfect for shooting a thrilling aerial leap scene.

For example, Tang Laoda, played by Fan Di Sai Er, drives a modified supercar, speeds out from the ramp at the tower's base, uses an ejection device to vault over the circular arch void at the top, and finally lands in the parking lot on the other side.

Of course.

These will definitely be done in post‑production with CGI.

Although he'd like to shoot it for real, that's just too outrageous.

Even a professional driver couldn't pull it off.

Including other iconic Saudi structures like the Kingdom Tower, the ancient city of Diriyah, and so on.

Lin Mo definitely intends to film all of them in the movie.

After all.

The Saudi prince, to ensure Fast and Furious shoots smoothly in Saudi, has cleared the way completely.

Want to shoot something? Just shoot it.

Need a road closed? Consider it done.

Even...

Even members of the Saudi Royal Family, if needed, Lin Mo can have them appear as a Cameo Role.

So...

Lin Mo naturally also wants to showcase Saudi's beauty.

In just a few days, Lin Mo already had a rough plan in mind.

However...

This time, the shooting of Fast and Furious 2 has been handed over to Luo Kai and Chen Zhong.

So Lin Mo specially gave them a briefing.

How this segment should be shot.

Both are seasoned directors now.

Moreover, when they shot the first Fast and Furious, they were Lin Mo's Assistant Director.

Right now.

On the top‑floor observation deck of the Kingdom Tower.

Lin Mo leans on the floor‑to‑ceiling glass with one hand; the howling wind at 311 meters whips up fine sand, making his white shirt flutter.

No exaggeration.

Anyone with acrophobia seeing this would be scared to death.

Fortunately, Lin Mo doesn't.

Luo Kai and Chen Zhong aren't afraid of heights either.

"Did you see that arch‑shaped void?" Lin Mo suddenly turned, jabbing his finger hard against the glass. "When you shoot, Fan Di Sai Er will launch from the underground garage, the car's tail scraping sparks off the steel frame's edge, shooting through this hole, and the shot must be taken from below so the audience feels the tower's oppressive presence!"

Chen Zhong adjusted his wind‑crooked sunglasses and said, "The ramp angle is steep enough; we'll have the props team extend the ejection track by three meters. But, Boss, are you really sure we don't need a green screen? Sandstorms can blow up out of nowhere......"

"We only need to shoot the car bursting out of the garage for real; the rest can go to VFX." Lin Mo suddenly broke into a grin.

Lin Mo continued, "But the parking‑lot landing stunt must be done for real. Prince Salman lent us twenty gold‑plated supercars as background props, right? We'll just shoot the crash live—no worries, smashing a few won't even faze them."

Prince Salman had already promised Lin Mo that.

Crash whatever you like; if it's wrecked, they'll send a replacement right away.

How to put it...

To them, anything that can be solved with money is trivial.

Chen Zhong suddenly crouched, phone pressed to the glass to shoot the exterior: "Boss, what about the Kingdom Tower over there? That 1,007‑meter monster—surely we can't have a car climb it, can we?"

"Opening shot of the chase." Lin Mo snapped his fingers. "A drone dives from the tip of the King Tower, swoops down past thirty floors where a rotating restaurant is hosting a camel auction, skims the floor‑to‑ceiling windows to ground level, then the view shifts—Tang Laoda's convoy smashes through the auction hall's glass curtain wall and bursts out!"

Luo Kai suddenly pulled out a tablet and sketched a map of the old city: "Diriyah's ochre walls are so atmospheric—I'll have the heroine's motorcycle burst from the spice market, knocked‑over pottery jars flying saffron, and as the pursuers' wheels roll over......"

Lin Mo pointed at the billboard below and said, "See that huge billboard? All the LED screens on King Khalid Avenue will start looping the crew's recruitment notice tonight. Tomorrow you'll go to the ancient city to film the crash scene—have the police close the whole street from the mosque to the date market!"

As they were speaking, Chen Zhong pointed at the distant road kicking up dust and laughed, "Boss, yesterday a prince even asked if his cousin could cameo in an armored vehicle."

Lin Mo shrugged: "Sure thing—just arrange it. They've got tons of cameo wants. Remember to put a black‑robed woman with binoculars watching the fight on the King Tower's top; that's the energy minister's daughter, and she insists on being on camera."

Yes.

This time, Fast and Furious 2 is starting production in Saudi.

These Saudi royal nobles all want a Cameo Role in the film.

And Lin Mo has dealt with them before.

This sort of thing...

It's too easy—they just want to experience what it's like to be on a film set.

A casual arrangement satisfies their wishes.
