Chapter 399: Teacher He sets up a gathering!

Here.

The cast of Heroic Youth is incredibly lively.

Feng Xiaogang, Ge You, Jiang Wen, and Zhao Benshan gathered around Lin Mo, chatting back and forth, vying to act with him, discussing the script in every way.

Good fellows!

Lin Mo watched them chat on and on, and the more they talked, the more off-topic they got.

Well, seeing this, Teacher Zhao immediately said, "Alright, with this arrangement of yours, what am I supposed to do? Like this, Director Lin, let's do a scene together later—I'll perform a Northeastern duet with you, guaranteeing the audience will be laughing so hard they can't shut their mouths!"

Hearing that.

Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh.

Likewise, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, and Ge You also laughed.

Including Liao Fan and the others watching from the sidelines.

"Hahaha!"

As expected.

Teacher Zhao is still Teacher Zhao.

As soon as he opens his mouth, it's all jokes.

"Well, well, well, gentlemen, I'm just making an appearance—you're treating me like the male lead?" Lin Mo said with a laugh.

"Director Lin, look, what's this show called? Heroic Youth—this is clearly about you!" Ge You also laughed and chimed in.

Everyone, upon hearing that,

Indeed it is.

This movie's title is a perfect match for Lin Mo!

If it weren't for the male lead being already set,

They actually thought Jiang Wen had tricked Director Lin into casting him as the male lead.

He really could pull off something like that.

"Hahaha, little bro, if you want to play the male lead, I can change the script anytime!" Jiang Wen laughed, slapping Lin Mo on the shoulder.

Of course.

He was just joking.

He might cheat and deceive others, but he could never do something like that to his own little brother.

"Brother, your movie‑making speed compared to Director Wang's is something I could never keep up with—I couldn't handle you guys working like this!" Lin Mo also laughed in reply.

That's right.

These directors of theirs, each one slower than the last when shooting.

Unlike Lin Mo, who can wrap things up in two or three months.

Even if it's a super‑big production, Lin Mo wouldn't need half a year.

For example, Fast and Furious—if you gave it to Jiang Wen Laoge to direct, he probably couldn't finish it in a year.

Finally.

Jiang Wen decided to have Lin Mo play a hotel boss.

Then they went to the restaurant one by one to eat, and each person had two lines with Lin Mo.

It didn't affect the plot at all.

Shooting this was also simple.

Say shoot, and we shoot.

Simple and quick—just over an hour and it was done.

After all, the cast are all veteran actors.

How could there be any NG on a shot like this?

If it were NG,

who would have the face to admit it?

Just like that.

Lin Mo's scenes wrapped.

He stayed in Xingcheng for about a week.

In Xingcheng.

Lin Mo also has plenty of friends.

For example, Zhang Yixing and Teacher He.

Well then.

In the evening, Teacher He organized a gathering and invited Lin Mo.

Anyway, Lin Mo is just here to have fun.

He arrived at the restaurant private room that Teacher He had arranged for him.

He knocked on the door.

The one who opened the door was none other than Zhang Yixing.

Upon seeing Lin Mo, he was extremely excited.

"Brother Lin!"

The people in the private room, hearing Zhang Yixing's shout, all rose to their feet.

They're all old acquaintances.

Teacher He, Wang Han, Xie Na, then Zhang Yixing, and also an acquaintance, Zhoubichang, were there.

Zhoubichang, she is also from Xingcheng.

She, well, she and Yang Mi are very close girlfriends.

Naturally, her relationship with Re Ba is also good.

So, Lin Mo has seen her many times already and is also very familiar with her.

When Lin Mo entered, the atmosphere in the private room instantly became lively.

Teacher He smiled and greeted, "Director Lin, you finally came; we were just missing you for this round!"

Wang Han also laughed, "Director Lin, you're such a busy person; it's rare to stay in Xingcheng this long. Let's have a good gathering today!"

Zhang Yixing was even more excited, grabbing Lin Mo's arm and pulling him inside: "Brother Lin, sit quickly, sit quickly!"

He and Lin Mo are extremely familiar with each other.

Everyone else calls him Director Lin, but he alone keeps calling him Brother Lin; you can tell from the way they address each other.

"It's been so long!"

Lin Mo smiled and greeted everyone.

After sitting down, Lin Mo started chatting with them, the first being Zhoubichang: "Bi Bi, aren't you preparing a concert? Not long ago Re Ba told me about it and asked me to accompany her to watch your concert!"

Zhoubichang laughed and replied, "Teacher He told me that Director Lin was coming to Xingcheng; when I heard the news, I rushed over immediately!"

Teacher He beside them also laughed and interjected, "Yeah, Bi Bi initially said she was rehearsing a song and couldn't come, but when I mentioned Director Lin, she agreed right away!"

At that moment, Xie Na teased, "Alright, Bi Bi, looking at your thick eyebrows and big eyes, I see you're that kind of person!"

"Haha!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Immediately, the atmosphere in the private room became relaxed and joyful.

Itself.

They are just acquaintances.

Chatting and such, naturally there's no barrier.

"Brother Lin, I'll toast you!" Zhang Yixing raised his glass and said to Lin Mo.

The current Zhang Yixing is no longer that little lamb.

Having followed Huang Bo, Huang Lei, Sun Honglei and those seasoned veterans, he had long learned.

Just like the sentence Lin Mo said before.

In the Entertainment Circle.

Anyone who can make a name for themselves there has both high emotional intelligence and IQ.

Especially when their speech and actions are all consistent.

Lin Mo smiled and clinked glasses with him.

A few people clinked glasses, Teacher He smiled and asked, "Director Lin, I heard you made a cameo in the Heroic Youth drama troupe this time, and it even triggered a major script rewrite; this matter even hit the trending searches!"

Lin Mo helplessly smiled, "Don't bring it up. I just went to show my face, but Director Feng, Teacher Zhao, and Ge Daye insisted on acting with me, even rewriting the script, almost turning me into the lead."

Wang Han heard that and laughed heartily, "Director Lin, it's mainly because your charisma is huge; even Teacher Zhao and Ge Daye are scrambling to act with you!"

"Brother Han, you always speak nicely; come, let's go just the two of us!" Lin Mo said, raising his glass with a smile.

"Deal!" Wang Han cheerfully clinked glasses.

The eating and drinking went on until about 11 p. m., when they finally disbanded.

Afterwards, Teacher He suggested a second round.

Lin Mo was naturally indifferent.

Don't think he's always hanging out with Jiang Wen, Long Shu and the like.

In fact, Lin Mo is only 27, right at the age of loving to have fun.

"You all go ahead; I have to go back to sleep. This old bone of mine can't endure such wear and tear!" Wang Han waved his hand.

He's older now, and now he goes to bed early and gets up early.

At 11 p. m., at this hour he would normally be asleep.

Actually, Teacher He and Wang Han are the same age.

But the two have completely different lifestyles; Teacher He is literally bursting with energy, even more lively than the youngsters.

After that.

Everyone said goodbye to Wang Han and then went to the second round.

Teacher He also brought out a few good friends; it's more fun when there are many people.

Of course.

These people are basically all known to Lin Mo.

Teacher He wasn't drunk; he's clear‑headed, and today he's mainly hosting Director Lin.

So the good friends he brought must be ones Director Lin is familiar with; if he brought some youngsters, Director Lin would find it very uninteresting.
