Chapter 451: Since You're Already Here, Hua Nation Says

The preparations are complete, and filming is about to begin.

According to the schedule, we'll first shoot the scenes on the social elite's ship, then the scenes on the prisoner's ship, and finally add a few wide shots.

We boarded the ship.

Lin Mo stood behind the monitor, holding a walkie‑talkie, scanning the area; the dozens of extras on the ship were all dressed in flashy attire—being social elites, they were, of course, in suits and ties.

"All departments, prepare!"

Lin Mo lifted the walkie‑talkie, his voice steady and strong: "3, 2, 1, Action!"

At Lin Mo's cue, the set instantly shifted into shooting mode.

At the same time.

The extras on the ship immediately fell into character.

Cheng Long, Jason, Heath Ledger, and Bell were standing behind Lin Mo, watching.

Soon, the ship displayed a chaotic scene.

Someone clutched the detonator, the camera zoomed in on him, his face full of panic; another muttered curses, trying to snatch the detonator; others hid in corners, hands covering their heads, looking desperate.

"I have to admit, these extras are acting quite well!" Lin Mo said, nodding as he watched the monitor.

"They're all members of the actors' guild, seasoned veterans!" Cheng Long chuckled.

Then Lin Mo said to Chen Xing: "Give a close‑up of the man in the suit; his expression is very dynamic!"

Chen Xing nodded and quickly directed the cameraman to adjust the equipment.

The shooting went smoothly, with hardly any takes needing to be redone.

After about half an hour, the ship's scenes were finished.

Next, everyone switched to another ship.

They continued filming the prisoner side.

Until the final shot.

A black man on the prisoner's ship throws the detonator out the window.

This shot serves as the climax of the whole scene, a profound interrogation of humanity.

Lin Mo even specially selected an extra with strong acting skills to play the role.

He chose someone with a relatively fierce appearance—the contrast is the point.

The camera focused on that prisoner.

On the monitor, the black man is tall, bald, with a scar on his face; his eyes carry a hint of ferocity, yet he appears unusually calm at this moment.

"We are not them."

After speaking, he walked to the window without hesitation and tossed the detonator out.

The camera close‑up his hand, the detonator tracing an arc in the air before vanishing into darkness.

The cabin fell silent; everyone was stunned.

"Cut!" Lin Mo picked up the walkie‑talkie, "That one passed!"

As Lin Mo's words faded, the entire crew erupted in enthusiastic applause.

【4】 To be fair.

To be fair.

Even Lin Mo himself hadn't expected the shoot to go so smoothly.

He already has many more scenes to film.

"Not bad, not bad, later I'll give each of these extras a red envelope as a reward!"

Lin Mo looked at Chen Xing beside him and said.

"Got it, Director Lin!" Chen Xing nodded.

Meanwhile, Cheng Long laughed, "Mo‑zi, if these guys hear you, they'll go crazy with joy; how many times have you handed out red envelopes?"

Jason grinned, "Yeah, they never got this kind of treatment before when filming!"

Indeed.

Abroad, acting is just a job; you get paid the standard fee, not like Lin Mo, who occasionally hands out red envelopes.

"Hehe, as long as they're always in this good shape, there are plenty of red envelopes!"

Lin Mo smiled and said.

A red envelope is only a few coins; as long as the shoot is smooth and easy, it's worth it to him.

Sure enough.

The local foreigners learned there were red envelopes to be had.

They were overjoyed one after another.

Some even clasped their hands together toward Lin Mo.

What a guy!

"Damn, those who don't know would just imagine..."

Seeing the scene, Lin Mo couldn't help but let out a laughing curse.

"Ha ha!"

Cheng Long burst into laughter as soon as he heard it.

The crew's filming days are usually rather dull.

Today, a few familiar faces arrived.

It was Jason, Fan Di Sai Er, and Paul.

And look, Fast and Furious 2 has wrapped.

They formed a group to visit the set of Lin Mo's new movie.

"Lin, long time no see!" Jushi Johnson smiled and gave Lin Mo a quick hug.

Although Lin Mo also had a bit of muscle, compared to this muscular guy he still looked too scrawny, like a little chick.

"How did you guys come~?"

Lin Mo smiled, looked at them, and said.

"Boss, your movie has been filming for so long, we've wanted to come see it for a while, but we've been shooting in Saudi Arabia~" Fan Di Sai Er took off his sunglasses and said with a smile.

"Yeah, Lin, your movie is so charming, you don't know that~" Paul also said.

Everyone is already acquainted.

Especially Gal Gadot.

Seeing the old buddies arrive, she also happily came over and hugged each one of them.

In Huaguo there's a saying: "Since you're here, you might as well make the most of it!"

So Lin Mo directly got them to cameo in a role.

For example, playing the street racers of Huashengdun.

It really fits their character.

Johnson, Fan Di Sai Er, Paul, and the others immediately became interested when they heard Lin Mo wanted them to cameo.

"Lin, are you serious? Let us cameo as street racers?" Paul said with a smile.

Lin Mo smiled and nodded: "Of course, you're the main cast of the Fast and Furious series; the street racer role is practically tailor-made for you!"

Johnson also grinned, showing his big white teeth: "Hmm, sounds pretty good, but we're big-name actors, we can't do without a cameo fee!"

Lin Mo laughed heartily, patted his shoulder: "Is this the first day you've met me? Do you look like I'm short on money? Red envelopes aplenty!"

"Haha!"

"Of course."

They were just joking.

Soon, Lin Mo summoned Chen Xing and Yan Xu and told them about this.

Upon hearing it, both of their eyes lit up.

Letting the male lead of Fast and Furious cameo as a street racer? It has to be the boss—this idea is awesome!

Soon, filming began.

Johnson, Fan Di Sai Er, Paul, and the others changed into leather jackets, put on sunglasses, got on the motorbikes prepared by the crew, looking like street racers.

The camera focused on them, Lin Mo grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Action!"

Johnson hit the throttle, the motorbike let out a roar and shot straight out.

Fan Di Sai Er and Paul weren't to be outdone, closely following.

The three raced down the street, their movements practiced.

Lin Mo watched the monitor, couldn't help laughing: "These guys are really playing themselves!"

Cheng Long also laughed from the side: "They're not just cameoing, they're clearly trying to steal the show!"
