Chapter 477: Boyish Bai Lu!

~7 min read 1,379 words

A few days later.

Lin Mo arrived in Yanjing.

This time, he didn't take the Private Jet.

It only took two and a half hours, so there was no need.

He only uses that Private Jet when the main creative team of the production travels together.

Yanjing.

Outside the airport gate.

Lin Mo immediately spotted the Audi A6 and the familiar license plate.

Indeed, it was Jiang Wen Laoge's ride.

He's getting older, doesn't care much about cars, and, of course, prefers to keep a low profile.

"Little brother, over here!"

Jiang Wen Laoge stuck his head out of the window to greet Lin Mo.

Lin Mo was wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Anyone familiar with him could easily recognize him.

After all, he's not an idol star, so few people follow his itinerary.

Lin Mo smiled, shoved his luggage into the trunk, and as soon as he sat in the passenger seat, smelled the aroma of sauce‑marinated beef.

Jiang Wen pulled a wax‑paper‑wrapped parcel from the glove compartment and tossed it: "Zhou Yun's Sister-in-law insisted on bringing it, saying she was afraid you wouldn't eat well on the plane."

"Brother, I see you're all flushed..." Lin Mo took a bite of the beef, deliberately stretching his tone, "doesn't seem like you're being tormented by censorship, does it?"

Jiang Wen burst into a laughing scold at once: "You kid, stop crowding me here!" He shifted into gear while pulling a crumpled script from the glove compartment and tossed it to Lin Mo, "Take a look, the revisions gave me a headache."

Lin Mo opened it and laughed.

The script was covered densely with revision marks.

"Little brother, your mind works fast, you have to help me, otherwise my film will go sour~"

"Sure, brother, with your connections, the film would pass even without my help!"

"Don't be ridiculous, I'd be embarrassed to trouble anyone over something so small!"

"Ha ha!"

"......"

In the car, the two of them chatted back and forth.

Soon, the car entered the residential complex; Lin Mo first put his luggage away, then Jiang Wen Laoge led him to his home, saying Zhou Yun's Sister-in-law had already prepared a meal.

Lin Mo's house in Yanjing was a gift from Jiang Wen Laoge, so it was naturally very close.

Just as he stepped inside, he smelled a fragrance.

Immediately, Zhou Yun, wearing an apron, poked her head out of the kitchen, spatula in hand: "Director Lin is here! Come in, come in!"

"Sister-in-law, long time no see!"

Lin Mo also greeted with a smile.

"Director Lin, come in and sit!" Zhou Yun hurriedly wiped her hands, then poured tea for Lin Mo, "Now you're really popular; Fast and Furious 2 has already grossed 2 billion US dollars, which has spoiled this family member of mine~ and they keep saying... If I had a box office like my little brother's, those investors would all line up to fund me!"

"Ahem!"

At that moment, Jiang Wen came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of sauce‑marinated beef: "Little brother, don't listen to your sister‑in‑law's nonsense!"

Lin Mo stifled a laugh and said nothing.

Jiang Wen Laoge and Zhou Yun's Sister-in-law each live on their own and don't live with their children.

"We'll have something simple for lunch; tonight I've arranged to meet San Ye, and then we can discuss in detail, and also go over your new drama. I heard the higher-ups' plans for this year's big drama..."

After sitting down, Jiang Wen Laoge poured wine for Lin Mo.

Just the two of them drank, taking it easy.

While drinking and chatting, Zhou Yun occasionally interjected, but most of the time the conversation was just between the two.

On the other side.

Re Ba also went to visit the set of Bai Lu's new drama.

Northbound is also a Serious Drama on CCTV this year.

As for Bai Lu, although she got in through connections.

Nevertheless, she truly fits the role of Xia Fenghua.

Originally, right.

Yao Xiaofeng, Director Yao, actually felt a bit dissatisfied.

After all, the female lead had already been pre‑selected.

But there's nothing he can do; he doesn't have the authority.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he's the Chief Director...

The higher-ups are still senior leaders.

When Bai Lu auditioned, she truly amazed him.

She was exactly like the Da Hua Zi he imagined.

Especially since Bai Lu had already cut her hair short before the audition.

From this, you can see how dedicated Bai Lu is.

You have to know that for a female actress, especially one on the rise, cutting her hair short greatly affects audience appeal.

It also impacts her commercial value.

"Ahem ahem."

Although Bai Lu is very professional, she also knows she's already the female lead of this drama, so she can be bold and at ease.

Otherwise, she couldn't have said she cut her hair when she went to audition.

Sure enough, when Re Ba arrived at the Northbound Crew and saw Bai Lu, she was startled for a moment.

"Wow, Lulu, you cut your hair short, you really look like a tomboy!"

Right after Re Ba finished speaking, Bai Lu laughed, spun around, and deliberately lowered her voice: "How's this, I look like a boy now~"

"It's more than just looking like one, later, Yuan Yuan, take a photo for me!"

Saying that, Re Ba put her arm around Bai Lu's shoulder, then asked assistant Yuan Yuan to take a picture of them.

And at that moment.

Northbound's director hurried over.

Good fellow, Yao Xiaofeng heard Re Ba had come to the crew; could he not be nervous?

The Boss is here to inspect the work!

When Bai Lu saw Director Yao arrive, she quickly patted Re Ba's shoulder and said, "This is Director Yao of our crew!"

Yao Xiaofeng hurriedly greeted, "Teacher Re Ba… hello!"

He subconsciously wanted to call Re Ba sister.

But his age prevented him from opening his mouth like that.

"Director Yao!"

Re Ba smiled and greeted the other side.

Yao Xiaofeng, she certainly knows.

He's considered a relatively famous director; his previous works include Great Husband, Tiger Mom Tiger Dad, Little Husband.

Then the main creators of the Northbound Crew also arrived.

They all heard from assistants or agents that Re Ba had arrived, and rushed over to greet.

The male lead of Northbound is Ou Hao.

That's right, the Douyin meme, the man who says "You are my god"!

"Naiwen brother, Teacher Hu Jun, Teacher Sa..."

Seeing these veteran actors, Re Ba smiled and greeted them.

Li Naiwen, mentioned before, the man who each time he made a mistake pretended to be Yu Hewei.

Hu Jun, of course.

I saw him when my own husband was filming Let the Bullets Fly.

As for Teacher Sa, he's a true veteran actor.

They also smiled and greeted Re Ba.

Very quickly.

Re Ba's set visit to the Northbound Crew spread online.

Originally, when this drama began filming, it already had a certain online heat.

After all, the female lead is Bai Lu.

A rising star, plus Hu Jun, Li Naiwen and other solid actors.

"Wow, Re Ba truly is Bai Lu's best best friend!"

"Rumor has it, hearing that Bai Lu got to act in this drama and play the female lead, all thanks to Re Ba!"

"Bai Lu is great, feels she fits this role well!"

"Please, don't just spread rumors arbitrarily!"

"This year's CCTV grand drama, Bai Lu is also doing well!"

"......"

Online, netizens kept debating endlessly.

On the other side, Yanjing.

When night fell.

Lin Mo and Jiang Wen went to the restaurant that had been booked in advance.

The two discussed how to revise the script while waiting for Han Canping.

Not long after.

Han Canping pushed the door and entered.

"You two arrived so early!" Han Canping heard the two discussing the script from outside.

"San Ye, it's my older brother who's anxious, waiting for you to give him ideas~" Lin Mo said with a smile.

"You're now an internationally renowned director, with you overseeing him, why would I need to help~" Han Canping teased.

"Alright, San Ye, what you say………………………………………………………………."

"Ha ha, you kid!"

Han Canping and Jiang Wen, seeing this, also laughed.
