Chapter 416: Commercial Popcorn Movie!

Every time he comes to the company.

Lin Mo basically always goes to the animation department to wander around.

Well, he assigned Chen Xing and Yan Xu's tasks.

He then came over to the animation department.

"Boss, hello!"

"Boss!"

Seeing Lin Mo enter, the employees all stopped their work and respectfully greeted.

Lin Mo smiled and waved his hand, indicating everyone should continue working, no need to be formal.

He went straight to the motion capture room, opened the door, and saw several animators gathered around the equipment, with the screen displaying a snippet of freshly captured motion data.

"What are you doing?" Lin Mo asked as he approached.

An animator smiled and answered, "Boss, Director Yang is acting as Nezha inside; would you like to take a look?"

Upon hearing that, Lin Mo immediately became interested: "Oh? He's doing it himself? Then I'll have a look."

Saying that, Lin Mo walked to the monitor in front of the motion capture equipment, and through the glass window saw Yang Yu wearing the motion capture gear, standing in the center of the capture area.

At this moment, Yang Yu had fully gotten into character, his face bearing Nezha's defiant and unruly expression, brows furrowed, mouth corners slightly raised, eyes flashing with a hint of contempt and rebellion.

"I didn't expect it, Director Yang's expression and acting are impressive—he could totally rival a professional actor!" Lin Mo joked with a smile.

The nearby employees, upon hearing this, also covered their mouths and laughed.

On the screen, the Nezha model mirrored Yang Yu's movements and expressions, with every detail captured precisely.

Just then, Yang Yu suddenly put his hands on his hips, threw his head back and laughed loudly; the on-screen Nezha mimicked the same action, filling the whole frame with tension and impact.

"Nice, nice, this move, the expression is spot on!" Lin Mo nodded involuntarily.

It's indeed good.

Yang Yu's little expressions and little moves are quite professional.

At that moment, Yang Yu turned his head and happened to see Lin Mo; he waved with a smile, and Lin Mo smiled back, gesturing for him to continue.

Next, Yang Yu performed several Nezha expressions and actions, such as roaring, anger, and so on.

After the performance ended, Yang Yu finally took off the equipment, walked out of the capture room, wiped his face with a tissue, smiled, and said to Lin Mo, "Boss, how did you come?"

Lin Mo smiled and patted his shoulder: "I'm not just here because I have a new film to shoot; I came by the company and happened to drop in to see you—I didn't expect to catch you performing yourself. How does it feel to play Nezha?"

Yang Yu chuckled: "It's pretty tiring, but worth it for the effect. Mainly, the Nezha role is too complex, with subtle emotional shifts; I have to experience it myself to better guide them."

Lin Mo nodded as he listened: "You've worked hard!"

Then he smiled and teased: "But don't just focus on work—look at your condition now; I remember when I first met you, you were all muscle, and now what have you become?"

Hearing that, Yang Yu gave a simple smile and scratched his head: "It's not that I don't have time..."

Before, he indeed liked working out.

Mainly, back then the work intensity wasn't that high.

He was just doing a few minutes of short animation drama.

Now?

"Nezha" is an animated film, after all; moreover, this is his first work since joining Morning Light, so he definitely has to do it well.

"You really ought to look after your health; otherwise, when the movie becomes a hit, our biggest contributor might collapse!" Lin Mo patted his shoulder and said.

"Boss, I'll pay attention, you can rest assured!"

Yang Yu still felt somewhat grateful inside.

The boss treats him so well...

It's almost impossible to repay.

All he can do is wholeheartedly make "Nezha" well!

Afterward, Lin Mo chatted a few more words with Yang Yu and those animators, encouraged them, and then left the animation department.

From the company back home.

Lin Mo then saw Re Ba holding her phone, saying something.

"Here, the director you've been missing, Lin, is back!"

Seeing Lin Mo return, Re Ba spoke into her phone.

Upon hearing that.

Lin Mo also realized she was livestreaming.

"You're livestreaming?"

Having changed his shoes, Lin Mo smiled and said to Re Ba.

"Mm-hmm, a brand I previously endorsed happens to need an online livestream for an event; after it ends I'll chat with them a bit!" Re Ba said with a laugh.

Speaking, Re Ba seemed to have discovered something astonishing, pointing at her phone screen: "Ah, how did it suddenly get over 500,000 people..."

She remembered...

Just a moment ago the livestream room only had 120,000 people.

But she quickly realized.

Do we even need to think about it?

It must be because her man just appeared on camera for a few seconds, so the viewer count surged.

Just look at the public screen's bullet comments in the livestream room and you'll know.

"Wow, Director Lin is here!"

"Director Lin, Director Lin!!!"

"Sister Re Ba, could you help us ask Director Lin what genre his new film is?"

Can you let Director Lin say a word?

When will Director Lin's new movie start filming?

All the comments are about Lin Mo.

What is the subject of the new movie?

And also when the new movie will start filming, etc.

Seeing this, Re Ba smiled and looked at Lin Mo, saying: "Honey, look at your popularity, it's invincible; you just showed your face and my live stream already broke 500,000 viewers!"

"Not that exaggerated~" Lin Mo smiled dismissively.

He thought Re Ba was joking.

"Really, look, just now when you weren't here, my live stream had only 120,000 viewers, now it's 580,000, and it's about to hit 600,000!" she said, also pointing at the screen.

Lin Mo leaned in to look, and indeed it was.

However, he also saw the comments netizens were posting on the public screen.

Basically, they were all related to his new movie.

"Honey, look, everyone wants to know the subject of your new movie; can you tell them?"

Seeing so many netizens wanting to know, Re Ba turned to Lin Mo and asked.

She of course knew what her man's new movie was about.

Before, when Re Ba just started streaming, netizens had been posting this kind of comment on the public screen all along; she just hadn't paid attention.

Now that her man is here, she brought it up.

"What's the subject of the new movie? Let me see if there are any loyal fans in the live stream; guess, I'll give a hint: it's a commercial popcorn movie!" Lin Mo said, selling the suspense with a smile.

As soon as he said that.

The live stream's comments instantly grew exponentially.

At the same time, the number of viewers in Re Ba's live stream also broke past one million.

"Like a personal heroism movie such as *Wolf Warrior*?"

"I think it should be similar to *Fast & Furious*."

"A commercial popcorn movie? Surely it's not a sci-fi film?"

"Action movie! Definitely an action movie! Director Lin's action scenes have always been impressive; this time will surely be a big spectacle!"

"It won't be a superhero movie, will it?"

The speed at which the comments flooded the screen was simply terrifyingly fast.

However.

Lin Mo also occasionally saw a few.

They actually guessed correctly.

Also, there were tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of people posting comments.

It's normal for someone to be able to guess it.

"Yo, there really is someone who guessed it right; yeah, my new movie this time is about a superhero, but my superhero is different from the ones you've seen..."
