Chapter 420: Jiang Wen's On‑Site Teaching—Epic, Damn, 666!

The press conference for Batman: The Dark Knight lasted about an hour.

After it ended, unsurprisingly, it would top all major trending searches in minutes.

Just kidding.

Over ten million people watched the live stream online.

The hype was explosive.

Especially the video of Jiang Wen and Ge Daye, which went viral among netizens.

For example.

There is the first on‑site video.

A reporter asked Ge Daye how Jiang Wen's new film was, and also asked why he was so eager to collaborate with Jiang Wen.

Ge Daye laughed and said: "Can't help it, who told me I'm kindred with Teacher Jiang? As long as he directs, I act; he directs, I act, so I keep acting more and more!"

In response, Jiang Wen on the side added: "As long as he acts, I'll direct!"

The two sang and replied, looking just like a crosstalk stage.

The video quickly went viral online.

"Hahaha, he writes, I direct; he acts, I write, awesome!"

"Director Jiang Wen and Ge Daye should do a sketch, it would definitely be fun!"

"He directs, I watch; he directs, I watch!"

"I suddenly started fangirling over Director Jiang and Ge Daye!"

"Upstairs, fangirling over everything will only hurt you!"

Over here.

After the press conference ended.

Lin Mo had long ago had Xiao Rou book a restaurant.

As the host, he naturally had to treat the senior brothers well.

They still didn't want to leave.

They all wanted to hear about Lin Mo's new film.

If it were someone else's, these people wouldn't have that interest.

But since it's Lin Mo, it's different.

Moreover.

This time, Lin Mo also tackled a subject that everyone dares not film.

A superhero movie—this damn thing is even harder to make than a sci‑fi film.

Look, how many people in the country still make sci‑fi films.

Have you ever seen any director make a superhero‑themed movie?

No, right?

"Jiang Ge, you and Teacher Ge are trending~" Re Ba, just entering the private box, laughed and said to Jiang Wen and Ge Daye.

She had already seen the trending list while scrolling Weibo earlier.

When Ge Daye heard that, his eyes lit up and he leaned forward: "Oh? Teacher Jiang and I are also trending?"

Everyone else also became curious.

Re Ba smiled, handed over her phone, opened the video: "That segment just now, Teacher Ge, you and Jiang Ge said on stage, the crosstalk‑like video, it's gone viral now!"

Soon, the phone played both of their voices:

"He directs, I act!"

"He acts, I direct!"

When the video finished, the private box erupted in laughter.

Jiang Wen laughed, slapping his thigh, and Ge Daye was so delighted he couldn't close his mouth.

Jiang Wen laughed, patted Lin Mo's shoulder: "Sorry, little brother, I stole your spotlight today!"

He truly hadn't expected that he and Ge Daye could trend because of this.

Ge Daye also smiled and made an apologetic gesture to Lin Mo: "Oh dear, Director Lin, really sorry!"

Seeing their goofy antics, Lin Mo also laughed and shook his head.

"You two really are something!"

"Borrowing Director Lin's line from the film Charlotte's Trouble, it goes: when Qiu Ya gets married, you two are still here singing and dancing!"

Teacher Zhao Benshan said that.

Immediately it made everyone burst into laughter.

It has to be Teacher Zhao.

Every sentence he utters becomes a classic.

Among those present were Jason, Bell, Heath Ledger and a few other foreigners who didn't understand Chinese.

Even if they were translated for them.

They still wouldn't get it.

Jiang Wen Laoge's teacher‑like personality surfaces again, and we see him gesturing something with Bell and Heath Ledger.

Just see.

Bell and Heath Ledger, speaking imperfect Chinese, added: "Awesome?"

Jiang Wen nodded with great satisfaction, gave the two a thumbs‑up, and explained in English: "Right, that expression means especially awesome; you can use it to praise Director Lin's movies."

Bell and Heath Ledger suddenly understood, immediately turned to Lin Mo, gave a thumbs‑up, and shouted in unison: "Director Lin, awesome!"

Lin Mo, Han San Ye, Cheng Long and others, upon seeing Jiang Wen again misleading the youngsters here, laughed heartily.

"No, no, no, don't listen to his nonsense teaching!" Lin Mo gestured helplessly, half‑laughing, half‑crying.

However, Jiang Wen was unperturbed, continuing enthusiastically to teach the two: "Another phrase, holy crap!"

Bell and Heath Ledger echoed, "Holy... crap?"

Jiang Wen laughed heartily: "Yes, yes, yes, holy crap expresses surprise; for example, when you see Director Lin's special effects, you can say holy crap!"

Then…

Unsurprisingly, the two turned to Lin Mo and said, "Holy crap!"

That made everyone burst into laughter.

Re Ba laughed so hard her mouth couldn't stay closed.

Ge Daye and Feng Xiaogang also joined in, teaching them a few more phrases, such as "absolutely amazing", "666", and the like.

The key, I guess…

After learning them, the two immediately turned to Lin Mo to express.

"What? Absolutely amazing, 666, awesome!"

Lin Mo laughed and said, "Alright, alright, stop teaching randomly; if you keep going, I won't even know what else you'll say!"

"Hahaha!"

Instantly, the laughter in the private room grew even louder.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Mi Guo, Chicago.

Chen Xing and Yan Xu, the two, had already gone over with the Batman: The Dark Knight team.

The venue arrangements and all kinds of messy issues had to be left to them to resolve.

The two had just landed when someone came to receive them.

Fortunately, both were fairly good at English.

So no translation was needed.

Learning that it was the Chicago mayor's secretary, wow, the two were stunned.

Huh?

The Chicago mayor's secretary came personally to receive them?

Wow…

It was the first time the two had ever enjoyed such treatment.

"Whoa, is this the boss's influence?" Chen Xing turned his head, glanced at junior brother Yan Xu, and said.

Yan Xu also wore a bewildered expression: "Senior brother's influence abroad really isn't exaggerated."

Earlier.

They had learned about senior brother's overseas influence online.

Yan Xu didn't say more; he is still just a rookie director.

As for Chen Xing.

Chen Xing didn't take part in Lin Mo's two international films, British Duel and Fast and Furious.

So this was his first time feeling just how awesome the boss's overseas influence is.

The accompanying team members beside them also told the two that the boss had already held a Batman: The Dark Knight press conference domestically.

Moreover, the first shooting location had also been revealed.

Chicago!

Now, these local foreign film fans.

Upon hearing that Lin's film would be shot in Chicago, each of them became extremely excited, thrilled beyond words.

Look at that.

On Mi Guo's film forum.

Many fans were discussing the matter.

Some even said they wanted to go to the set to watch the filming.

For example, they wanted to see Cheng Long big brother.

After all.

Cheng Long being abroad truly makes him a god.

These local foreigners would stay excited for a long time just from seeing him.

As for Bell and Heath Ledger.

The two currently have virtually no fame.

No one discusses them at all.

Especially Heath Ledger, who probably doesn't even know that his role as the Joker this time will be the most pivotal turning point of his life.
