Chapter 437: In Chicago, the fruit is super sweet, and the people are even sweeter!

Lin Mo tidied his clothes and walked toward the soundstage.

Chen Xing and Yan Xu were sitting in front of the monitor, replaying the footage they had just shot, while Cheng Long and Jason also gathered to the side, watching the screen attentively.

Seeing Lin Mo approach, Chen Xing and Yan Xu hurriedly stood up and respectfully shouted, "Director Lin!"

"Mo Zai, come see how this segment turned out; we've discussed it for a while and think it's good enough!" Cheng Long added.

Jason also nodded.

After all, they both had experience as directors.

"Oh, let me take a look!"

Lin Mo walked over to the monitor, and Chen Xing immediately replayed the footage they had just shot.

In the frame, Cheng Long playing Commissioner Gordon and Jason playing Haweidante stood on the roof of the Gotham City Police Department, sunlight bathing them, with the cityscape as the backdrop.

"This city needs you, Hawei, you are our last hope!"

"I will do my best, but relying on me alone is not enough!"

"......"

The transitions between shots were smooth and natural, Cheng Long and Jason's performances were spot-on, their emotions full, and their lines precise.

After watching, Lin Mo nodded, satisfied, and said, "That's good enough, it's a pass!"

Hearing that, Chen Xing and Yan Xu exhaled in relief, their faces breaking into relaxed smiles.

Just pass, just pass!

Cheng Long laughed, patting Lin Mo on the shoulder, teasing, "You little brat, the filming demands keep getting higher, but this effect is indeed not bad!"

Indeed, Lin Mo is absolutely the most demanding director he's worked with in all these years when it comes to shot composition.

"Uncle Long, I'm not being that strict—you haven't seen Director Wang shoot on set; that's what's truly strict!" Lin Mo said with a laugh.

Upon hearing Lin Mo mention Director Wang, Cheng Long naturally knew who he meant and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "You two are different—Wang Jiawei simply doesn't even know what kind of shot he wants!"

"Haha!" Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Xing and Yan Xu listened silently on the side, not daring to interject.

In their hearts, Director Wang Jiawei is a godlike existence, so only Director Lin and Cheng Long dare to openly tease him like that.

Think back—when Wang Chuanjun once said he didn't like something, it nearly ruined his acting career; who would dare to comment casually?

As for Jason, he didn't even know who Wang Jiawei was, just gave a polite laugh and continued to watch the monitor attentively.

An hour later, Re Ba changed into a new outfit and arrived at the set.

September in Chicago had already entered autumn; the weather wasn't particularly hot, with a large temperature difference between morning and night.

Daytime temperatures were around 26 to 27 degrees, dropping to about 10 degrees at night.

Lin Mo had forgotten to remind Re Ba earlier, but seeing her wearing a thin outer jacket, it was clear Xiao Rou had already told her.

"Honey~!" Re Ba walked over to Lin Mo, a sweet smile on her face.

She also didn't forget to greet Cheng Long and Jason nearby.

Lin Mo looked at her and said, "I forgot to tell you, the temperature difference between day and night here is quite big—wear more layers so you don't catch a cold."

"Mm, Xiao Rou just told me~!" Re Ba nodded.

"Mo Zai is right—around here you still need to wear two more layers at night; your jacket is too thin, it definitely won't do!" Cheng Long also said.

He, nowadays, has the mindset of an old person.

And Lin Mo and Re Ba are juniors he looks favorably upon; one could say he treats them somewhat like his own children.

Re Ba gave a mischievous laugh and even flexed her arm muscles: "Uncle Long, it's fine—I'm in great shape, I work out often~"

There's a dedicated workout room at home.

Plus, Re Ba often does yoga and such, so her physical condition has always been good.

After chatting a while, Xiao Rou and Yuan Yuan also entered the set, pulling a cartload of fruit behind them.

The crew member with a megaphone shouted, "Thanks to the boss's wife for providing the fruit!!!"

In an instant, gratitude echoed throughout the set.

The local crew members, seeing free fruit they could eat, were all overjoyed.

"Uncle Long, Director Chen, Jason, I've ordered some fruit for everyone—come give it a try!"

Re Ba laughed and said to them.

As the boss's wife, it's only natural to bring fruit on her first visit to the set.

One ought to leave a good impression on the crew, after all.

Such are the ways of the world.

Re Ba, having been by Lin Mo's side for so long, is already well practiced.

"Come on, let's take a break!"

Lin Mo also said to them.

Everyone chatted and laughed as they walked to the rest area; Yuan Yuan and Xiao Rou had already laid out the fruit, the table filled with various fresh fruits—Chicago‑local apples, pears, grapes, and so on.

Re Ba picked up a pear, curiously examining it: "Huh, this pear looks a bit different from the ones back home."

Lin Mo smiled and explained, "This is a Western pear; it actually tastes about the same—go ahead and try one~"

He had already tried these local fruits, after all, the boxed lunches on set come with fruit every day.

In this weather, if we didn't give the crew some fruit, word would get out that we'd fallen on hard times.

Re Ba took a bite of the Western pear, found the taste indeed similar to domestic pears, and lost interest.

She then picked up a bunch of grapes, smiling at Lin Mo: "Honey, you've worked hard—I'll feed you a bunch of grapes~!"

Lin Mo opened his mouth without a blush or racing heart, bit into a grape, and after swallowing, still smiling, teased, "Mm, the grapes my wife feeds me are just sweet!"

"Huh~!"

Not to mention other people.

Even Re Ba can't stand his deadpan act.

Look, his teasing made her cheeks flush slightly; Re Ba playfully patted him, saying, 'You, act normal!'

Cheng Long shook his head, laughing as he teased: 'You lovebirds will get sick of each other in time; we're heading elsewhere!'

He certainly didn't want to keep being a third wheel.

Chen Xing and Yan Xu heard him, said nothing, and merely shifted silently to the other side.

As for their assistants...

That means they're all used to it.

Especially Xiao Rou, Lin Mo's assistant, who often drives up front while the boss and his wife flirt in the back—what could she say...

"Honey, let's take a photo—I want to post a daily on Weibo~!" Re Ba suddenly thought of something, pulled out her phone, and said excitedly.

A few days ago she had even done a live stream, during which many netizens asked her when she would go to Chicago to visit the set of *Batman: The Dark Knight*.

Re Ba also promised them that, upon arriving in Chicago, she would share her daily life right away.

"Eggplant!" Re Ba held an apple, moved close to Lin Mo's face, and made a 'yeah' gesture.

Lin Mo, cooperating, made a goofy expression that made Re Ba laugh out loud.

After taking the photo, Re Ba looked at the image; the sunlight was just right, shining on their cheeks, making it especially warm.

She nodded satisfiedly, edited a Weibo post: "I'm in Chicago, visiting my husband's set daily~ The fruit is super sweet, and the people are even sweeter!"

Soon after.

Re Ba's trip to Chicago to visit the set of *Batman: The Dark Knight* immediately became a hot search news topic.

Under her comment section.

Various comments poured in, one after another.

"Wow, Re Ba and Director Lin are so sweet!"

"I want to see Director Lin filming live!"

"@Re Ba, could you start a live stream for us to watch?"

"Envious of Re Ba, Lin Mo's love!"

"This photo is truly beautiful!"

"This is what you call a talented man and a beautiful woman!"

"......"
