Chapter 417: Jiang Wen, Han Sanping: What else can be done with the superhero theme?

Superhero?

When this word came out of Lin Mo's mouth, the millions of viewers in the livestream were instantly dumbfounded.

No way…… Director Lin's new movie is actually a superhero film?

Holy shit!!!

On the livestream's public screen, the barrage of comments instantly went crazy.

"???"

"Ah?"

"Director Lin is going to make a superhero?"

"Hiss……"

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!!!"

"Superhero, I cao, my favorite!"

"Awesome, my bro!!!"

"……"

The news that Lin Mo's new film would be a superhero topic spread like a hurricane across the net, instantly topping various hot search lists.

On Weibo, the topic #Lin Mo's New Film Superhero Theme# surged in popularity, quickly exploding.

Before this, although everyone knew Lin Mo had a new film and that Cheng Long and Jason Stanson etc. were joining, no one expected Director Lin's new film to be a superhero theme!

As soon as the news came out, the entire net was shocked.

Xingcheng, the crew of 'Heroic Youth'.

Jiang Wen was chatting with Zhao Benshan, Ge You, and a few others about the upcoming plot filming when suddenly the crew became lively.

Staff and actors kept discussing nonstop, their faces full of excitement and surprise.

Jiang Wen, Ge You, Zhao Benshan, and a few others looked at each other, bewildered.

"What's going on?" Jiang Wen frowned, turned to his assistant and said, "Go check, what happened?"

The assistant hurried away, then shortly after came running back, out of breath, saying: "Director Jiang, everyone is hotly discussing Director Lin's new film topic; I heard Director Lin this time wants to make a superhero film……"

"Ah?" several people exclaimed in unison, especially Jiang Wen, whose eyes widened in disbelief.

"What did you say? What film is my younger brother going to make?" Jiang Wen thought he had misheard, his tone full of doubt.

At that moment, Ge Daye beside him slowly pulled out his phone, glanced at the hot search, and said with a smile: "Oh my, it's really true! Director Lin is going to make a superhero film; this news is already on the hot search!"

Hearing this, Jiang Wen, Zhao Benshan, Liao Fan, and a few others hurried over, staring at the phone screen for a few moments.

After looking, they glanced at each other, all looking bewildered.

A superhero film?

This…… this really caught them off guard.

How to put it, Huaguo people making a superhero film feels a bit awkward, like foreigners making zombie movies—always feels something off.

Of course, this doesn't mean they don't trust Lin Mo; it's just…… indeed somewhat unexpected.

"Director Lin's film, once filming starts, I definitely have to go check it out!" Ge Daye said enthusiastically.

"What you're saying makes me want to fly over right now to see it!" Zhao Laoshi laughed, his wrinkles blooming with smiles.

"Hahaha!"

When Zhao Laoshi said that, everyone burst out laughing.

Jiang Wen also laughed and shook his head, teasing: "Then I need to speed up my filming progress, otherwise by the time my younger brother's new film wraps, I'll still be dawdling here."

He knows all too well how fast his younger brother films—it's lightning quick!

At the same time, this news quickly spread abroad.

Lin Mo has plenty of overseas fans; his Facebook account has tens of millions of followers, making him the Huaguo person with the most Facebook fans aside from Cheng Long.

These foreigners, upon hearing Lin Mo would make a superhero film, were all excited beyond measure.

After all, superhero films are popular worldwide; audiences just love this kind.

"I can't wait to see how Lin interprets the superhero theme; his style is too unique!"

"If Huaguo elements are added to the superhero film, it will definitely be fresh!"

"Lin, he truly understands us fans' hearts!"

"I hope Lin's superhero film has some epic fight scenes; his action design is always top-notch!"

"I have a feeling Lin's superhero film will redefine this genre; I can feel it!!!"

"……"

Here, Lin Mo's phone is about to blow up.

Since the new film's topic was leaked, his phone hasn't stopped.

In WeChat group chats, messages came one after another, the notification pings for @him almost shaking the phone apart.

Phone calls also came one after another; San Ye, Jiang Wen Laoge, and others called.

Their first words were almost identical: "What were you thinking? How did you come up with making a superhero film?"

On the phone, Han San Ye said earnestly: "Xiao Lin, this type of film has been done to death in Hollywood; do you have any new ideas?"

Lin Mo smiled: "San Ye, rest assured, when the film's press conference comes, you come to the scene and I'll explain this film to you in detail—it will completely overturn your perception of the superhero genre!"

As soon as he said that, Han San Ye's curiosity was instantly piqued.

Overturn perception?

What the heck is this kid up to?

Likewise, Jiang Wen had his appetite whetted over the phone.

"Younger brother, what you're saying makes me want to drop my current film right now and fly straight to Mo Du to find you!" Jiang Wen said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Of course not, as a director, how could Jiang Wen not know Hollywood's classic films?

What fresh ideas could a superhero movie possibly bring?

Could it be that my younger brother plans to incorporate Huaguo's mythological elements?

Jiang Wen's mind had already begun to run wild with speculation.

If Lin Mo knew Jiang Wen's thoughts, he'd probably laugh and give a thumbs-up: "Older brother, your imagination is bigger than mine!"

One week later.

The press conference for Batman: The Dark Knight was held in Mo Du.

Now, the movie's popularity is through the roof.

Isn't that so?

On the day of the press conference, the venue was a sea of people.

You know, the attendees aren't just ordinary movie fans.

They are all media reporters.

Besides, they come from all over the world.

Even...

The broadcast rights for the Batman: The Dark Knight press conference have already sold out.

Mi Guo, Bangzi Country, Dao Guo...

And TV stations from many countries, including YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

It can be said that Lin Mo's new film press conference is a global simultaneous live broadcast.

Countless movie fans are eagerly awaiting.
