Chapter 450: Fast & Furious 2 wrap, a scene testing human nature!

Huashengdun.

Batman: The Dark Knight crew.

Just finished filming a scene, Cheng Long ge laughed as he walked over to Lin Mo: "These past few days, Re Ba and He Song's matter has caused quite a stir; Li Bingbing even called me earlier, asking me to speak up for her~"

Hearing this, Lin Mo also laughed: "Hey, this matter, isn't it all over? Besides, it's not a big deal~"

"I also heard the whole story; this actor named Wang Meng really has poor character, he really deserves a lesson!"

Cheng Long ge naturally doesn't like such unprofessional actors with poor character.

Before, when he was accepting media interviews, didn't he heavily criticize those little fresh meat actors in the industry? Even if they just scraped their hands, they'd rush to the hospital, and he even said a famous line—'See when you'll finish.'

To Lin Mo and Cheng Long ge, this was just idle chatter after tea and meals.

It's already December.

After filming Speed and Passion 2 for over nine months in Saudi Arabia, it finally wrapped.

As soon as it wrapped, Chen Zhong called him.

"Boss, Fast & Furious 2 wrapped!!!"

On the other end of the phone, Lin Mo could clearly hear a crowd cheering.

Obviously, everyone involved in the film's wrap was quite happy.

Same.

After hearing that, Lin Mo also laughed and said: "Wrap is great; don't skimp on the wrap party tonight, let everyone enjoy themselves!"

"Sure thing, Director Lin!"

The two chatted briefly.

Because, he had another call coming in.

Prince Salman's call.

When he heard that Speed and Passion 2 had wrapped, he was also quite happy.

On the call, he frankly said he would host a banquet for the entire crew that night.

Originally.

Lin Mo was still thinking of saying, let Prince Salman not spend so much.

But there was no way; he's rich, and Saudi Arabia is his turf, so in the end it was hard to refuse his enthusiasm.

These calls came one after another.

After hanging up with Prince Salman, not long after, Liu Qin also called him, of course about Fast & Furious 2 wrapping.

This is Morning Light's most important project this year.

Because Batman: The Dark Knight only started filming a few months ago, its wrap is still far off.

"Boss, the New Year slot is coming up; is our movie releasing in the New Year slot?" Liu Qin asked.

Lin Mo said: "Mm, don't drag it out too long!"

Before, his films rarely premiered in the New Year slot.

One reason is to leave some meat for others.

Second, it's because his films usually don't wrap during this period.

Afterward, on the call, Liu Qin reported to Lin Mo about the promotion plan for Fast & Furious 2 and such.

"Just handle it yourself, Liu Jie; I trust you completely!"

On the other end of the phone, hearing this, Liu Qin was besides himself with emotion.

"Okay, Boss!"

Soon.

The news of Speed and Passion 2's wrap also spread online.

It couldn't be hidden at all.

After all, there are so many people in the crew.

Moreover, Morning Light didn't deliberately hide anything.

The news spread.

It quickly topped the Weibo hot search list.

#Speed and Passion 2 Wrap#

Countless netizens, upon seeing this hot search news, were overjoyed.

"Finally wrapped!"

"Awesome!"

"It's releasing in the Spring Festival slot, right?"

"Been waiting a long time!!!"

"My wallet is ready!"

"Seeing this news, I even thought Director Lin's new film had wrapped~"

"......"

Meanwhile, on this side.

The Batman: The Dark Knight crew, the night shoot set was brightly lit.

Tonight's shoot is an extremely tense ensemble scene—the Joker, to test humanity, planted bombs on two ships, one carrying society's elite, the other carrying vicious criminals.

This scene is not only one of the film's climaxes, but also a profound examination of humanity.

Before filming, the crew's staff were busy to the point of being unable to cope.

Two huge ships had already docked at the pier.

These two ships were still arranged for them by the mayor of Huashengdun.

Set.

The crew members are giving instructions to the extras.

"In a moment, you all need to pay attention. When filming, you must show that panic, fully immerse yourselves in the scene. Remember, your fate is in the other's hands, so your emotions must be spot‑on. For the people on the social elite's ship, you need to display their selfish side, and for the people on the prisoner's ship …"

These extras are all local foreigners, and they're fairly professional, belonging to an actors' union.

On the other side, Cheng Long, as well as Bei Er and Heath Ledger, have also arrived at the set.

That's Cheng Long, after all.

There's no scene for him tonight.

But everyone knows he's full of energy, especially since this scene is quite exciting, so of course he wants to drop by the crew.

In his words, staying in the hotel is just pointless.

Cheng Long smiles at Lin Mo and says, "Mozi, this part of the script is really interesting!"

Lin Mo nods and says, "Long Shu, didn't I tell you? The superhero movie I'm filming is different from the usual; it's a film that contains humanity and philosophy!"

As the Joker, Heath Ledger.

After months of filming, he has fully immersed himself in the role.

He truly is very professional and dedicated.

But the biggest problem is, Lin Mo still worries that after filming he might have trouble getting out of it.

So he has Bei Er, Jason and the others frequently counsel Heath Ledger.

Including himself, he constantly monitors Heath Ledger's condition.

Fortunately, Lin Mo personally explained to Heath Ledger how to portray the Joker, so he doesn't have to lock himself alone in a hotel room to study.

His mental state has remained quite good.

At this moment, Assistant Director Chen Xing and Yan Xu walked over.

Chen Xing, holding the storyboard script, says to Lin Mo, "Director Lin, we have already arranged the camera positions for both ships according to your request. In a moment we'll first shoot the reaction on the social elite's ship, then the prisoner's ship."

Yan Xu adds, "The lighting and cinematography crew are also ready; we can start at any time."

Lin Mo nods, takes the storyboard script from Chen Xing, glances at it, then says, "Alright, in a moment we'll first shoot the reaction on the social elite's ship, focusing on their fear and struggle, then shoot the prisoner's ship. Their emotions need to be more complex—both fear of death and a yearning for survival. Especially the shot where the prisoner throws the detonator out the window, we must capture that shock effect."

Chen Xing and Yan Xu nod in understanding and then begin arranging the various camera positions and lighting.
