Chapter 38: My 21st Year and His 21st Year Seem Different!

Not bad!

Lin Mo was very satisfied.

You should know.

His film's director has no reputation, and the actors have no reputation.

I didn't expect it could earn over 16 million at the box office like this.

"Much stronger than the early days of 'Love is Not Blind'!" Re Ba added from the side, laughing until her eyes squinted.

Lin Mo laughed teasingly: "If your words reach Director Teng's ears, he'll probably be depressed for a while."

Hearing that, Re Ba laughed even more: "Haha, I'm speaking sincerely!"

After that, she suggested: "Mo Ge, shall we go to the cinema tomorrow and watch it again?"

Lin Mo looked at Re Ba and asked: "What, haven't had enough yet?"

Re Ba quickly waved her hand to explain: "No, I mean, let's go to the cinema and see the audience's reaction~"

"Oh, I see!" Lin Mo perked up at that, after all it was his first time directing, and the premiere was full of professionals; he hadn't seen ordinary audience reactions yet.

"Alright, it's settled!"

Lin Mo readily agreed.

So.

The next day, the two of them actually went to the cinema.

They found a seat near the corner.

"Wow, Mo Ge, did you see? There are so many people queuing outside!"

Re Ba said excitedly to Lin Mo.

While waiting outside to enter earlier, she had already noticed that there were truly a lot of people.

Although.

Now more than just "Charlotte's Trouble" is showing.

But the other movies have only average online reactions.

So she knew these audiences came specifically for "Charlotte's Trouble."

Soon.

The audience gradually took their seats.

Although there were still many empty seats.

But that's already good.

At least seventy or eighty audience members.

"My friend strongly recommended it, saying the movie can make you laugh your abs out!" an audience member shared excitedly.

"I saw everyone posting about it in Moments, so I came to check it out!" another audience laughed and replied.

Suddenly, someone mentioned the rating: "Have you seen Douban's rating? It's as high as 8.3!"

"8.3? That's so high! Is it reliable?" someone said, sounding incredulous and a bit doubtful.

"You'll know after watching; if this rating is faked, I'll go online and curse that director!" an audience member said half‑joking, half‑serious.

He listened to the surrounding chatter.

Especially hearing some audience say the movie is bad, or the rating is fabricated, and they want to go online to scold themselves.

He unconsciously touched his nose.

In the morning, "Charlotte's Trouble"'s rating had just been refreshed.

At that moment, Re Ba screamed excitedly.

As for Lin Mo…

He was rather calm.

It was precisely because the rating came out.

That made "Charlotte's Trouble" even hotter.

Xu Zheng also called Lin Mo.

Director Xu's tone, even from far away, carried a hint of envy.

Soon.

As the movie began, the hall's noise gradually dimmed.

The early plot.

Xia Luo time‑travels, beats up a teacher, force‑kisses the campus beauty, plagiarizes classic songs, and Yuan Hua appears with his own BGM.

The whole hall erupted in wave after wave of laughter.

Even Re Ba.

Watching it a second time, she couldn't help but laugh along.

As for the latter part.

The plot turns sad, and at the end the most tear‑jerking scene appears.

Those audience members were moved and burst into tears.

When the movie ended.

The surrounding audience all said the ticket wasn't wasted; it really was as the internet claimed, very good!

Exiting the cinema, Re Ba took her phone as a microphone, pretended to be serious and coughed twice: "Director Lin Mo, a quick interview—what are your thoughts when you hear the audience's comments on the film~"

Lin Mo was amused by her act, took the "mic", and solemnly cleared his throat: "The feeling? Just two words: invigorating!"

Re Ba giggled, eyes curving like crescents: "How invigorating is it!"

It's like drinking a chilled watermelon juice in summer, refreshing to the core, with the heart soaring!

Haha!

Charlotte's Trouble

It's really catching fire!

Then, an 8.3 rating appears!

The hype then surged upward rapidly.

As long as they've watched this movie.

There isn't a single one who doesn't praise it.

Of course, there are a few haters.

After all.

It's just a movie.

Even if it's great, there will always be a few nitpickers.

The online praise

is everywhere.

Many well‑known Film Critics and Big V personalities also expressed their opinions on the film Charlotte's Trouble.

They raved about Charlotte's Trouble, calling it a fresh breeze among recent Mandarin comedy films.

They said the movie is not only a side‑splitting comedy, but also a profound work that explores life, dreams, and reality.

Naturally.

Regarding the screenwriter and director, that is Lin Mo himself.

Only 21 years old!

He writes the script himself, shoots it himself...

The key is that his filming style doesn't resemble that of a rookie director; calling him a veteran wouldn't be an overstatement.

In short.

Throughout the article, they gave high praise to Lin Mo and to the movie.

For a film, few people usually care who the director is.

But Charlotte's Trouble is different.

When these netizens

found out that the director of the film is actually a 21‑year‑old youngster.

What a guy!

A wave of heated discussion erupted instantly.

What the heck!!!

"21 years old, damn... that's two years younger than me..."

"Huh?"

"What kind of divine director is this!"

"My 21 and his 21... seem different..."

"My goodness..."

"Huh? I didn't misread, the director of Charlotte's Trouble is only 21..."

"It's insanely popular..."

WTF, WTF, WTF!!!

Probably.

Even Lin Mo didn't expect it.

He's just a director.

Yet he made Charlotte's Trouble's hype skyrocket.

Now, short videos only have KS trending.

TikTok hasn't taken off yet.

So, these past two days on KS, various iconic scenes from Charlotte's Trouble have been reposted countless times.

Of course.

The most classic is still Yin Zheng.

His iconic moment.

Truly makes people burst into laughter.
