Chapter 441: Lin Mo: Safety, Safety, and Damn Safety!

Over here, Lin Mo is busy beyond belief.

It's not just him; Assistant Director Chen Xing and Yan Xu are also rushing around the set.

The whole crew is in a highly tense state, after all this scene is extremely important.

"Explosives team, check the detonator again; it must be flawless!" Lin Mo's voice sounded serious and forceful over the intercom.

"Copy that, Director Lin!"

Soon, the voice of the explosives team's leader came through the intercom.

Then Lin Mo turned to the props crew: "Lao Luo, have you confirmed the hospital's exterior wall structure? When the explosion happens, it must collapse along the designed trajectory with no deviation!"

Lao Luo, the props supervisor—a balding middle‑aged man—quickly nodded: "Don't worry, Director Lin, everything is ready according to your plan!"

Having shot so many large‑scale scenes with Lin Mo, he naturally knows Lin Mo's requirements.

Lin Mo patted his shoulder, then gave the special effects crew instructions to make the smoke and explosion flames look more realistic.

"Everyone, listen up!"

"I only say one thing: safety, safety, and damn safety!"

"I don't want to see anyone get hurt!"

Then Lin Mo added.

"Understood, Director Lin!"

Everyone echoed in agreement.

"Alright, get to work!" Lin Mo waved his hand, signaling everyone to take their positions.

After the tasks were arranged, Lin Mo turned his head and happened to see Re Ba excitedly speaking to her assistant Yuan Yuan.

So Lin Mo walked over.

Meanwhile.

In Re Ba's livestream, the audience had already been impatient, and the bullet comments were flooding the screen.

"Wow, Director Lin looks so handsome when he's serious!"

"By the way, what kind of movie are we filming? The set looks so busy!"

"I bet ten packs of spicy sticks it's a blast scene; did you see that Lamborghini and the other sports cars?"

"When do we shoot? Hurry up!!!"

"Awesome, the livestream now has ten million viewers; are you all not working?"

"!"

"......"

When Re Ba saw Lin Mo walking over, her eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly addressed the livestream: "Everyone, look! The Director Lin you've been waiting for is here!"

Lin Mo walked to Re Ba's side, smiling, and asked, "Is the livestream going smoothly? How many viewers now?"

Re Ba beamed, "Smooth, very smooth! Ding-ding-ding-ding, honey, count how many viewers are in my livestream!"

Hearing that, Lin Mo curiously glanced.

Nice fellow!

He almost miscounted; at first he thought it was 1.3 million, but on a closer look it was actually 13 million...

"That many people!" Lin Mo said, surprised.

After all, today is a workday.

He thought it would be only a few hundred thousand, but no...

Of course, Lin Mo also saw that the viewers in the livestream were frantically sending bullet comments to greet him.

"Hello there!"

Lin Mo smiled and waved at them.

Which means there are no movie fans on set.

Otherwise.

One can imagine how crazy those fans would be.

"You chat with them; I'll talk a few words with Bei Er and the others!"

Then Lin Mo smiled and gently rubbed Re Ba's little head.

"Uh-huh~!" Re Ba nodded, then said to the livestream audience: "Weren't you just spamming comments saying you want to see a Batman battle tank? Come, I'll take you to see it—super, super cool!!!"

After a brief chat, Lin Mo and Re Ba turned and walked toward the area where the leads were.

At this moment, Cheng Long, Bei Er, Heath Ledger and others were gathered, discussing the script.

They had all finished applying makeup.

The biggest changes were definitely Heath Ledger and Jason.

Now he's wearing a female nurse uniform, his face covered in a ghastly white foundation, and exaggerated red cracks painted on both corners of his mouth.

In foreign terms, he now looks exactly like a Satan risen from hell.

In our words...

Just like a ghost!

No, that's wrong; it's Jason next to him who looks like a ghost.

He is playing Double-faced Man Harvey Dent; one side of his face is normal, the other side is burnt beyond recognition. I have to say, the makeup artist's technique is truly amazing.

When Lin Mo walked over, Heath Ledger was crouched, fiddling with the detonator in his hand, muttering to himself—actually reciting his lines.

"How's everything prepared, Heath Ledger?"

After getting closer, Lin Mo looked at everyone and asked, then patted Heath Ledger's shoulder.

This scene.

Strictly speaking, it mainly depends on Heath Ledger's performance.

He is the soul figure.

Well, hearing Lin Mo say that, Heath Ledger gave a grin: "I'll make everyone feel Joker's charm, even... fear!"

Lin Mo smiled: "Good, that's exactly the attitude we want!"

About an hour passed.

Finally.

Everything on set is ready.

The props team, explosives team, and special effects team had checked everything countless times; after ensuring there were no issues, Yan Xu jogged over to tell Lin Mo: "Director Lin, everything is ready; we can start shooting anytime!"

Lin Mo nodded satisfactorily, picked up the walkie-talkie: "All units, attention: filming starts in five minutes!"

Meanwhile, Re Ba learned from the crew that filming was about to start, and excitedly announced to the live-stream audience: "Good news, this scene is about to start shooting!"

Upon hearing that, the live-stream's comment barrage erupted again.

Because filming hadn't started all day, Re Ba's live-stream audience had dropped significantly.

Now hearing that, they're about to start shooting.

The popularity instantly shot up.

Obviously, everyone had been waiting for this moment.

"Finally, it's starting!"

"We've been waiting an hour!"

"Ahhh, hurry up and start, I can't wait!"

"An hour—do you know how we've endured this hour?"

"My brother's still watching the streamer dance; I hurriedly called him over!"

"The popcorn is ready!"

"......"

The entire crew entered a highly tense state.

The site-clearing work was quickly finished; all unrelated personnel were evacuated to the safe zone, leaving only the actors and essential crew on set.

Lin Mo stood behind the monitor, focused, holding a walkie-talkie, his eyes sharp as a blade.

He took a deep breath, picked up the walkie-talkie: "All departments, listen up—I'll say it again: safety, safety, and damn it, pay attention to safety!"

Important things should be said three times.

The props team, explosives team, special effects team, and the on-site staff.

They all know the importance of this scene.

You know, after purchasing and renovating this hospital, it cost a lot of money...

If it's because of a mistake by some department...

Then that would really...

Even if Director Lin doesn't scold them, they'd still feel guilty.

At this moment.

At the center of the set, this scene is Heath Ledger's solo performance.

He's the brightest one.

Over ten million people are watching his performance online.

Heath Ledger took a deep breath and gave an OK sign toward the director's monitoring area.

Lin Mo nodded, his voice echoing across the set: "Action!"

With Lin Mo's command, Heath Ledger, playing the Joker, walked out of the hospital, humming a tune lightly as he went, his steps light and carefree.

"Explosives team ready!"

"3... 2... 1.."

"Boom!"

Only heard, a huge boom sounded on set.

The hospital's outer wall instantly blew apart, flames shot skyward, thick smoke rolled, the entire building began to shake violently, fragments flying everywhere.

Fortunately, the area had been sealed off; otherwise, nearby locals might have thought it was a terrorist attack.

On the monitor.

Heath Ledger stood at the blast's center, hopping like a duck, seemingly enjoying the fun of the explosion.

However, just as he walked halfway, the explosion sound suddenly stopped.

Heath Ledger's steps paused slightly, and the smile on his face faintly froze.

He blankly turned his head, arms spread, as if asking, "What's going on?"

Then he lowered his gaze to the detonator in his hand, brows slightly furrowed, wondering if something had gone wrong, and casually pressed it a few times.

The next second, the explosion sound rang out again, the hospital's outer wall completely collapsed, flames and thick smoke surged forth once more.

Heath Ledger was startled by the sudden explosion, his body slightly leaning back, his expression shifting instantly from confusion to surprise, even with a hint of childish mischief.

He grinned, revealing his signature eerie smile, as if saying, "This is how it should be!"

Then he quickly turned, darting like a startled rabbit toward the parked school bus nearby.

"Cut!"

"Perfect!"
