Chapter 485: with translation of chapter title
Here.
Lin Mo and Re Ba just walked onto the set, and the whole crew seemed to hit the pause button; everyone stopped what they were doing.
"Director Lin, Re Ba!" Deng Chao was the first to greet them, his face beaming with smiles.
Lin Mo nodded and said, "Chao Ge, your recent condition's been good."
Re Ba also greeted, "Hi, Chao Ge~"
It's Chao Ge.
Lin Mo and Re Ba are very familiar with each other.
Then Sun Li, Yin Ziwei, and the other principal cast members of the crew also hurriedly greeted Lin Mo and Re Ba.
Lin Mo had only exchanged a couple of sentences with them.
Wang Cheng hurried over, his face full of smiles; he first respectfully greeted Lin Mo, "Boss, you're here!"
Then, turning to Re Ba, he called out, "Boss's Wife!"
Re Ba smiled and pointed behind her, "I brought some night snacks for everyone." Xiao Rou was holding several large bags, and a few male actors immediately scrambled to take them.
Don't think Xiao Rou is just Lin Mo's assistant.
But out here, with these big stars, they all treat Xiao Rou very politely.
It's the same principle as a big boss's driver.
Just as Xiao Rou set the snack bags down, Deng Chao hurriedly said, "Oh, little sister Xiao Rou, you worked hard!" and reached to take the bags from her.
"Chao Ge, please don't..." Xiao Rou hadn't finished, when Yin Ziwei stepped forward, "Let us handle this grunt work!"
The two grown men scrambling to carry the bags made the surrounding crew laugh.
Sun Li couldn't stand it, walked over and brushed Deng Chao's hand away, "You two, don't scare the young lady." Turning to Xiao Rou, he said gently, "Just let them help with the bags; you can rest a while."
Xiao Rou smiled shyly, "It's fine, Li Jie, this is what I should do."
Lin Mo, watching from the side, shook his head, "That's enough, you're driving my assistant crazy."
"Ha ha!"
The atmosphere on set instantly became relaxed and cheerful.
Wang Cheng quickly asked the crew to distribute the night snacks to everyone.
When everyone opened the bags, there were not only xiaolongbao but also steaming ginger tea and nourishing soup.
Deng Chao took a bite, exaggeratedly gave a thumbs‑up, "The sponsor's night snack is delicious!"
Yin Ziwei tried a xiaolongbao and said, "Director Lin, these xiaolongbao are really tasty!"
Lin Mo smiled and waved his hand, "Alright, stop flattering, eat while it's hot; after finishing, we still have work to do."
Everyone gathered around, eating the night snacks in a lively, bustling atmosphere.
Over here, Re Ba, Sun Li, Chao Ge and the others sat together, chatting and laughing while eating the night snacks.
"Re Ba, you and Director Lin have you been trying to conceive lately?" Sun Li leaned toward Re Ba, lowering his voice to ask.
Re Ba's face went "Swish" red, and the chopsticks in her hand almost fell, "Li Jie, how did you know?"
Deng Chao laughed, "Do we even need to ask? Not long ago, Director Lin said there were no new projects for now, and you two aren't that young; anyone can see it!"
He and Re Ba are also very close.
After all, they had previously recorded "Running Man" together.
"Re Ba, I have to tell you..."
Sun Li, speaking as someone who's been through it, pulled Re Ba aside and shared how to handle the preparation stage, what to do, and what to do if you become pregnant.
Re Ba listened very attentively.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Lin Mo was sitting in front of the monitor, carefully reviewing some footage Wang Cheng had shot.
"Hmm, this shot is handled quite well!" Lin Mo said, pointing at the screen.
Hearing that, Wang Cheng hurriedly said, "Director Lin... actually I did refer to your movies..."
Lin Mo just smiled and said nothing more.
Because the directors in his company all first served as his Assistant Director before they began directing movies on their own.
So.
It's normal for their filming techniques to resemble his in some aspects.
"Now that you're a director, you need your own style; don't keep trying to copy me~" Lin Mo said, smiling.
Wang Cheng scratched his head awkwardly, "Yes... yes..."
"Take it slowly!"
Lin Mo patted his shoulder.
Afterward, Lin Mo looked again at a few good shots Wang Cheng had taken and, after offering encouragement and praise,
He also walked toward Re Ba.
At this moment.
Re Ba was having a lively chat with Sun Li.
"What are you talking about? Look, you're laughing!"
Seeing Re Ba laugh so happily, Lin Mo asked curiously.
"Director Lin, I'm showing Re Ba my family's... and Hua Hua's, their childhood photos~" Sun Li said with a smile.
"Honey, the newborn baby is so cute, just a tiny little one~"
Re Ba said that while gesturing.
Lin Mo watched Re Ba's gestures and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "That small? Are you sure you're not mimicking a watermelon?"
"Ah!" Re Ba stomped her foot in anger, "It's obviously this big!" Saying that, she also seriously made a smaller gesture.
At this moment, Deng Chao also laughed from the side and said: "Director Lin, you don't understand; newborns are like this. When your own child is born, you'll know."
Talking about the topic of children, ah.
Lin Mo really ought to ask Chao Ge for advice, ask for advice.
After all, he's been through it, ah.
Chao Ge can also be considered a winner in life.
He has a virtuous wife, plus a son and a daughter.
He and Sun Li are also considered a rare good story in the entertainment circle.
"Ah Wei, when are you and Dongdong Jie planning to have a child?" Lin Mo also didn't forget to look at Yin Ziwei and ask.
Yin Ziwei's age is about the same as Chao Ge's.
He still doesn't have a child up to now.
Fortunately, Xu Dongdong is relatively young.
Hearing this, Yin Ziwei also laughed and said: "Director Lin, we're also preparing to have a child this year!"
"That's perfect!" Lin Mo's eyes lit up, "They could keep each other company."
Re Ba immediately perked up: "Right, right! Is Dongdong Jie filming lately?"
Yin Ziwei smiled and shook his head: "She's been resting at home lately, just waiting to have a child. Re Ba, if you have time, you can go play with her anytime."
"Great!" Re Ba clapped happily, "I've been worried about having no one to share experiences with!"
At this moment, Deng Chao chimed in from the side: "I say, you guys might as well sign up together for a parent-to-be training class."
Sun Li gave him a sideways glance: "Still talking? Back then you slept through class!"
"It's not that I was lazy, I was just too tired from work..." Deng Chao defended himself, feeling wronged.
Lin Mo couldn't help but chuckle: "Chao Ge, it seems your status at home is rather worrisome, huh?"
"No way!" Deng Chao exaggeratedly sighed, "Now even Dengdeng dares to make fun of me!"
Everyone burst into laughter again.
The two didn't stay long on the set, after all, there were still night scenes to shoot.
They watched them film for a while.
Then Lin Mo and Re Ba greeted them and left.
On the way back, Re Ba hugged Lin Mo's arm and looked at him.
"Honey, just now Li Jie told me a lot." Re Ba counted on her fingers, "She said that three months before trying to conceive you should start taking folic acid, and also avoid staying up late, keep a regular schedule..."
Lin Mo smiled at the corners of his mouth: "Hmm, anything else?"
"Also," Re Ba leaned in closer, "Li Jie said that during pregnancy you should keep a good mood, and not keep getting angry at me." As she said that, she herself started laughing.
"That's actually the key." Lin Mo nodded seriously, "From now on, if I make you angry, you just think of what Li Jie said."
Re Ba lightly punched him: "Cut it out! It's obviously you making me angry!"
The two were sitting in the back discussing the topic of having children.
Meanwhile, Xiao Rou was driving up front.
She was used to it, driving seriously.
That day.
Lin Mo, who was at the company, had just finished listening to Liu Qin's report.
Then the phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID: Liu Genghong.
"Hello, Coach Liu." Lin Mo answered the phone.
From the other end came Liu Genghong's respectful voice: "Director Lin, am I disturbing your work?"
"No!" Lin Mo leaned back in his chair, "What's up?"
"Director Lin, it's like this," Liu Genghong's voice became noticeably lighter, "Jielun's Mo Du concert is about to start; just now he mentioned you too. I don't know if you're free tonight—Jielun would like to invite you to a casual meal..."
Actually.
Zhou Jielun originally wanted to call Lin Mo himself, but then thought better of it.
Mainly because he and Director Lin don't know each other...
So he could only contact Director Lin through Liu Genghong.
"Of course no problem, what time?"
"Depending on your convenience, Jielun said he'll fully follow your arrangement; he's been rehearsing these two days, his schedule is very flexible!"
"Then how about seven in the evening? You decide the place, just send me the location when the time comes!"
"Great, I'll get on arranging it right away, guaranteeing it'll be quiet and undisturbed!!!"
After the phone was hung up.
Liu Genghong looked at the extremely excited Zhou Jielun in front of him.
He also couldn't help but chuckle: "I didn't expect Jielun, you're about to meet your idol, and your reaction is just like this~"
Indeed.
In the entertainment circle there's long been a saying: "Your idol might not be Zhou Jielun, but your idol's idol is definitely Zhou Jielun."
Now this saying applies to himself.
"The Fast and Furious series—I've watched it several times, I really love this movie. And Director Lin, he's practically the face of Huaguo now!"
