Chapter 415: The Mentor's Recommended Talent, Junior Brother Yan Xu!

Previously, there was hardly any news online about Lin Mo's new film; netizens only knew that Cheng Long and Jason would appear, and knew nothing about any other details.

These days, movie fans have been hotly debating the subject of Lin Mo's new film, with endless speculation, but no one expected that Lin Mo would actually make a superhero movie.

After the dinner, Lin Mo took a group photo with the creative team of Batman: The Dark Knight.

The photo was soon posted on his Weibo, of course not by Lin Mo himself but by Liu Qin on his behalf.

Once the photo went up, netizens instantly erupted.

"I'm going, who did I just see, Morgan Freeman???"

"Whoa!!!"

"Zhang Yixing???"

"Morgan Freeman, damn, Director Lin actually hired him!"

"That old Black guy looks really familiar!"

"That's because he's from The Shawshank Redemption, a classic!"

"I'm really curious, what's the movie's title? It hasn't been revealed at all!"

"......"

You can tell that from these netizen comments.

Everyone is not familiar with Batman's actor Bell and Joker's actor Heath Ledger.

Indeed.

These two don't have any particularly famous works right now.

Like Brokeback Mountain, The Thirteen Maidens of Jinling.

Many people know those two movies.

But they haven't actually watched them.

Especially today's youngsters, let alone.

Batman: The Dark Knight is still some time away from officially starting production, since Batman's suit and Batmobile are still being built and the filming locations haven't been fully finalized.

To create the Batmobile, Lin Mo specifically contacted Lei of Xiaomi.

Lei was very interested and said he was willing to build Lin Mo a one‑of‑a‑kind super sports car.

Since the last collaboration, Xiaomi Motors' overseas sales have surged, especially abroad, where its minimalist yet flashy design is loved by foreigners.

To thank Lin Mo, Lei once gave him a custom luxury car, but Lin Mo never had time to drive it, and it still sits in the garage.

This time, Lin Mo's assistant director team has a new change.

Chen Xing and another new director from the company have been swapped in.

Chen Xing, he previously was in charge of the Steal Pen and Ghost Blowing Lamp projects.

As for the new director, his name is Yan Xu.

This time it's not Lin Mo's senior brother, but his junior brother.

He graduated last year; according to mentor Lao Wang, this junior brother's professional level is quite good.

Lin Mo recruited him to the company and so far has only assigned him two web dramas to direct.

Yan Xu thinks that's nothing.

After all, he just graduated, and being able to direct works is already decent.

Don't be fooled; his academic performance was very good.

But without connections or resources, he can't survive in this circle at all.

Fortunately he has a mentor and a good senior brother.

Look at that.

He just finished a web drama recently, has no new work, and is now video‑chatting with his girlfriend from the company‑rented apartment.

Yan Xu's girlfriend is also an industry person, also from Shanghai Theatre Academy.

He studied directing, and his girlfriend naturally studied acting.

"Baby, in a couple of days I'll fly to Hengdian to see you!" Yan Xu said, smiling at his girlfriend in period costume on the screen.

"Sure, sure!"

These two freshly entered young people haven't yet felt society's harsh blows, and still look to life with hope.

Of course.

Yan Xu himself thinks he's lucky.

Right after graduation he got into Morning Light, and even got to direct works on his own; although they're web dramas, for him that's an extremely high starting point.

At that moment, a call came in.

The caller ID showed Manager Liu.

Seeing those three characters.

Yan Xu hurriedly told his girlfriend, "Baby, pause the video; Manager Liu is calling me!"

After ending the video, Yan Xu quickly answered the phone.

Manager Liu, in his impression, is a real career woman.

She holds a high position in the company.

"Manager Liu!"

Yan Xu hurriedly shouted respectfully.

"Xiao Yan, come to the company later; you have a new work assignment," Manager Liu's voice was crisp and decisive on the other end.

"Okay, Manager Liu!"

It was supposed to be.

He still thought about flying to Horizontal Shop in a few days to visit his girlfriend on the set.

Result...

Well, work still comes first; he believed his girlfriend would understand.

Moreover, it's uncertain whether the new script will be filmed at Horizontal Shop.

However.

When Yan Xu came to the company nonstop, when Manager Liu told him...

He said his senior brother's new film was about to start shooting, and told him to be the assistant director!

Good fellow!!!

This... this totally threw Yan Xu for a loop, ah.

When he got home from the company, he was still in a dazed state.

Even...

He even thought he was dreaming.

He never thought he'd have the chance to join his senior brother's new film...

Using the hottest phrase nowadays to describe it.

That is..

Heaven-sent fortune fell upon him.

The next day, Yan Xu saw Lin Mo at the company.

This was the second time he had seen his senior brother since joining the company a year ago.

The first time was when his mentor recommended him to join the company.

Lin Mo also remembered this junior brother, after all, he was a talent personally recommended by their mentor.

Lin Mo first chatted briefly with Chen Xing, then smiled and looked at Yan Xu: 'Xiao Yan, are you getting used to being at the company?'

'Master... Boss, I'm used to it!' Yan Xu was about to call 'senior brother', but realizing he was at the company, he quickly corrected himself.

Lin Mo smiled: 'There are no outsiders here; Lao Chen is also our senior brother, so you can call him senior brother in private.'

Chen Xing also smiled and nodded at Yan Xu; he certainly knew this junior brother, having known since he first joined the company.

Afterward.

Lin Mo then chatted briefly with him about everyday matters, before beginning to assign their tasks.

Lao Chen, you're a veteran of the company; later, take good care of Xiao Yan. In a week, you'll lead the team straight to Chicago, where someone will receive you. Then there will be the venue rental and other arrangements, and I'll explain more to you later...

The pre‑shoot work was, of course, assigned to the two of them.

Being the assistant director, after all.

It's just doing this kind of work, right?
