Chapter 404: with translation of chapter title

Evening.

Lin Mo, Re Ba, and Zhou Yun's Sister-in-law attended the premiere of 'Dragon Horse Spirit'.

There were still quite a few people at the premiere venue.

When Lin Mo appeared, he instantly became the focus.

Not only did the media reporters clack clack clack snap photos of him, but also the bosses of investment firms came over to befriend him, handing out business cards.

Fortunately, Lin Mo was already accustomed to it and handled it with ease.

However.

What surprised Lin Mo was.

He saw Yin Ziwei and Xu Dongdong had also arrived.

The two hurried over as soon as they saw Lin Mo, shouting: "Director Lin!"

"Ah Wei, you came too!" Lin Mo patted his shoulder.

"It's just that I have nothing else, and Brother Cheng Long called me, how could I not come~" Yin Ziwei said with a smile.

Many people might not know.

Yin Ziwei is very close with Brother Cheng Long.

After all, back then Yin Ziwei entered the industry because Long Shu's manager Chen Ziqiang discovered him.

Moreover, Yin Ziwei appears in many of Brother Cheng Long's movies.

"Dongdong Jie!"

Re Ba saw Xu Dongdong and waved at her.

"Re Ba!" Xu Dongdong replied with a smile.

Seeing Zhou Yun nearby.

Xu Dongdong quickly greeted him.

At this moment.

Brother Cheng Long is busy right now.

Lin Mo and Yin Ziwei chatted for a while, and then Wu Jing also arrived.

Wu Jing and Yin Ziwei are also old acquaintances.

He first greeted Lin Mo, then turned to Yin Ziwei: "Ah Wei, long time no see!"

"Jing Ge, long time no see!" Yin Ziwei replied with a smile.

"Ah Wei, the Hannibal you filmed with Chao Ge has stellar acting!" Immediately, Wu Jing began talking about the series 'Hannibal'.

He has also watched it.

To be honest, the role of Hannibal is practically tailor-made for Yin Ziwei.

Why do I say that?

It's that kind of...

A role that can bring Yin Ziwei's charisma to the utmost.

The kind where, after seeing the role, you truly can't find anyone else to play it.

Like the movie 'Hello, Mr. Tree'.

Besides Wang Baoqiang, it's hard to say who could play Mr. Tree well.

"Your wife didn't come along?"

Lin Mo saw that Wu Jing had come on his own, so he asked.

Hearing that, Wu Jing replied, "Boss, my wife is at home taking care of the child~"

Speaking of children.

In front of Wu Jing, Lin Mo and Yin Ziwei were like fresh recruits.

Sure enough, Wu Jing even asked Yin Ziwei when he plans to have children, since he's not that young anymore.

As for his own boss...

He didn't dare to ask either.

"I've made that plan!" Yin Ziwei nodded in reply.

After all, he's already in his forties.

But there's no need to worry.

Xu Dongdong is only just over thirty.

Man, haven't you seen the news? Men in their sixties can still father children.

They chatted for a while.

After Brother Cheng Long finished his business, he finally came over.

"Mo Zai, Jingzai, Wei Zai!"

"Long Shu!"

"Brother!"

Brother Cheng Long sat down, exchanged a few words with them, but then more acquaintances arrived, so he had to get up again to greet them.

Normal.

Think about Lin Mo's previous movie premiere.

That was also very busy.

He had no free time at all; only when the film started could he get a little rest.

On the other side.

Online.

Soon, a video surfaced.

Lin Mo appeared at the premiere of Cheng Long's new film.

It attracted countless onlookers.

"Huh? Brother Cheng Long's new film is out!"

"I know this film; it seems to have Da Linzi in it, right?"

"I saw Yin Ziwei and Wu Jing; did they also take part in this film?"

"And when is The Wandering Earth 2 coming out?"

"I didn't see this news; I had no idea Brother Cheng Long had a new film!"

"Feels like another flop..."

"When will Director Lin and Brother Cheng Long team up for another film?"

"......"

How to put it?

Although Brother Cheng Long puts out one or two films every year.

But the box office isn't great.

Mainly because Long Shu is getting older and can't move audiences as before, plus the scripts aren't good either.

So...

Last year, the film British Duel directed by Lin Mo brought back that feeling for Brother Cheng Long.

The box office exploded, causing a worldwide sensation!

Here.

9 p. m.

The premiere of Dragon Horse Spirit officially began.

The film runs two hours.

It has its flaws, but also some highlights.

For example, there are plenty of fight scenes in the movie.

Besides, Brother Cheng Long is no ordinary person; if you replaced him with a typical sixty-something elder, even walking would require caution, and a simple tumble would break his bones.

The whole film seems to be a tribute to the younger Brother Cheng Long.

As for the plot,

There's not much to say about the plot; Dragon Horse Spirit casts Brother Cheng Long as the male lead, his horse as the second lead, and then mixes all kinds of miscellaneous plotlines together, making it dazzling to watch.

The horse is called Red Hare.

In the film, Yu Rongguang plays a boss who really wants that horse.

This naturally makes one think of Yu Rongguang's past role as Guan Yu, and with the horse named Red Hare, the director is clearly having fun.

After the film ended, it was clear from the audience's reaction.

This film is so-so.

Some even grew drowsy while watching, feeling tired.

After the premiere, Brother Cheng Long brought the cast and crew of Dragon Horse Spirit on stage to give thanks.

Thunderous applause filled the venue; although the film itself got a lukewarm response, everyone still admired Brother Cheng Long's dedication.

After the thanks segment, the event moved on to guest interviews.

The reporters could hardly contain themselves, after all, Lin Mo is the hottest figure in the entertainment industry right now—anything he says can go viral.

Sure enough, as soon as the host announced the start of the interview, a reporter shot up their hand: "Director Lin, what are your thoughts on the film Dragon Horse Spirit?"

Lin Mo took the microphone, smiling, and said: "First, I want to congratulate Brother Cheng Long; this film embodies a lot of his hard work. As a work paying tribute to Long Shu's career, it carries much sentiment, especially those fight scenes, where you can still see Long Shu's former self—it's no easy feat."

Then another reporter asked: "Director Lin, your previous collaboration with Brother Cheng Long on British Showdown was a huge success—will there be another chance to see you two work together?"

Lin Mo smiled, glanced at Brother Cheng Long on stage, and replied: "Of course there is; Brother Cheng Long is a senior I deeply respect, and working with him I've learned a lot. If a suitable script comes up, we will definitely join forces again."

Brother Cheng Long, hearing this on stage, smiled and nodded: "Lin Mo is a director I greatly admire, and I also look forward to working together again."

Then Wu Jing, Yin Ziwei, and others also took turns accepting interviews from the reporters.

Afterward, Brother Cheng Long walked over, patted Lin Mo on the shoulder, and said: "Xiao Mo, thanks for coming to show your support today."

Lin Mo replied with a smile: "No need to thank me, Long Shu—I'll definitely support your film."

Brother Cheng Long nodded, saying with feeling: "I'm getting older, and acting is becoming more of a struggle; from now on I'll have to rely on you youngsters to look after me."

Lin Mo waved a hand: "Long Shu, you're being too modest—you're a role model for all of us."

The two chatted a bit more, then Brother Cheng Long went off to greet the other guests.

Since Long Shu is busy, they agreed to meet for a meal tomorrow to discuss future film collaborations.

Before, Lin Mo had mentioned to him that there was a role in his upcoming film that would be perfect for him.

Brother Cheng Long has never forgotten those words.

Re Ba walked over, linked arms with Lin Mo, and whispered: "Honey, shouldn't we head back?"

Lin Mo nodded: "Yeah, let's go."

The two said goodbye to Brother Cheng Long, Wu Jing, Yin Ziwei, and the others, then left the premiere venue.

Back home, Re Ba slipped off her shoes and sighed: "Today's premiere was pretty lively, but the film was just so-so..."

Lin Mo chuckled: "Long Shu's film is more about sentiment; given his age, managing to pull this off is already no small feat."

Yeah, that's right~
