Chapter 490: Trailer God!

Zhou Jielun's concert is over.

Lin Mo and Re Ba's life has returned to normal.

Making little figurines and such.

Cough cough.

But anyway, online, netizens' urging is getting more and more frequent.

Nothing else, everyone is waiting for Lin Mo's new movie Batman: The Dark Knight.

As everyone knows.

Lin Mo's Weibo is managed by a team.

So his fans all know that leaving a comment on Lin Mo's Weibo is utterly useless.

Because Director Lin basically doesn't look...

So they can only flock to Re Ba's Weibo to leave all kinds of comments.

Besides that.

Like Yang Mi and Bai Lu.

Whenever they post a Weibo update, netizens will definitely leave a comment saying, 'Mi Jie, please help us ask Director Lin when his new movie will be released.'

Mo Du, a high-end beauty spa club that specializes in serving celebrities.

VIP private room.

Soft aromatic essential oils diffuse in the air, and soothing gentle music flows slowly.

Re Ba and Yang Mi each lie on a beauty bed, with custom face masks on their faces, while the beautician gently massages their shoulders and necks.

Only see, Yang Mi closed her eyes and said lazily, 'Hey, Re Ba, have you been checking Weibo lately?'

Hearing that.

Re Ba instantly knew what Yang Mi wanted to say, seeing her pretend not to know and saying, 'I have, what's up?'

Yang Mi sighed: 'Now whenever I post an update, the comment section explodes—fans of your Boss Lin come to my comment section leaving all kinds of messages, asking me to ask when the movie will be released~'

'I heard Lulu also said that, her Weibo also has many netizens leaving messages asking her to help ask~' Re Ba said with a light laugh.

Next, Re Ba also helplessly said: 'My Weibo comments don't even need to be mentioned—it's all "Re Ba sis, help us ask Director Lin when Batman: The Dark Knight will be released~"'

Yang Mi chuckled: 'You say these netizens, they don't go ask Boss Lin's Weibo, they all come running to us, making it seem like we can control Director Lin's schedule~'

Not mentioning this would be fine, but bringing it up, Re Ba couldn't help but laugh out loud: 'Haha, do you know what these netizens say my husband's Weibo account is like?'

'Ah? What?' Yang Mi asked curiously.

'They say my husband's Weibo is just like a bot~'

'Haha!'

Both laughed out loud at the same time, and the beautician couldn't help but smirk.

Yang Mi turned her head to look at Re Ba and asked: 'By the way, has Boss Lin's movie passed approval?'

Re Ba closed her eyes and said: 'It's long been approved, lately I've been busy editing the trailer, but my husband says the movie won't be released until at least the end of April!'

'Ah?'

Yang Mi heard that it wouldn't be released until the end of April, and she was stunned for a moment.

You know.

Director Lin is famous for being fast.

Cough cough, this 'fast' isn't the kind of fast everyone thinks.

Don't get the wrong idea.

Director Lin's movies are always shot fast, released fast...

It's only mid-March now, end of April...

There's still over a month's time.

'Boss Lin's these fans, if they knew Batman: The Dark Knight would only be released at the end of April, they'd probably collapse~' Yang Mi said with a smile.

'So, I haven't replied to them~'

That's right.

Re Ba used to occasionally leak some news about Lin Mo's new movie to netizens.

But this time, no matter how netizens praised her, she didn't respond.

Mainly because I was afraid to tell them...

They would collapse.

Over a month's time is really too long.

At the same time.

At the company, Lin Mo.

He was working on the trailer for Batman: The Dark Knight.

Mainly Chen Xing and Yan Xu, these two guys' trailer isn't good enough, lacks that feeling, missing some meaning.

Well, Chen Xing and Yan Xu stood aside, nervously staring at the screen.

They had just finished editing the Batman: The Dark Knight trailer yesterday, feeling they'd given it their all—explosions, chases, the Joker's evil laugh, all the required elements packed in, tight pacing, flashy visuals.

While Lin Mo sat in a chair with arms crossed, watching the whole thing with a blank expression.

After playback ended, the editing room was silent for a few seconds.

'How is it, Director Lin?' Chen Xing asked tentatively.

Yan Xu was also extremely nervous.

Lin Mo didn't answer directly, but turned to Yan Xu and asked: 'What do you think the audience will remember after watching this trailer? Xiao Yan, you tell us!'

Yan Xu stared blankly: "Um... action scene? Special effects? Is Joker crazy?"

Lin Mo shook his head, stood up, walked to the computer, and called up the raw footage.

"The problem is right here—you cut only the spectacle, not the story." He dragged the timeline, pausing at the shot of Joker's first appearance, "and what the audience needs is emotion, not just pure visual bombardment."

Chen Xing and Yan Xu exchanged a glance, both looking bewildered.

Emotion?

What emotion?

Lin Mo didn't explain anything; instead, he went straight to work, pulling out several clips they had originally discarded.

For example, Batman standing on the edge of a skyscraper gazing at the city, Commissioner Gordon in a rainy night lowering his head in thought, and Joker slowly playing with his cards in the interrogation room.

Then, Lin Mo began reassembling.

He didn't choose to cut straight to the explosion; instead, he let the image settle first.

In the video's frame, Gotham's night, overcast clouds, distant faint sirens.

Next, Joker's low whisper sounded:

"Madness, like gravity... a light push is enough."

As the words fell, the picture abruptly cut to gunfire from the bank heist, but it flashed for only a second before going black again, leaving only the sound of hurried breathing.

When it lit up again, it was Batman's fist striking toward Joker, but it froze on the final frame, turning into a silhouette of the two facing off.

The trailer's pacing alternated fast and slow, not simply chasing thrills, but tugging at the audience's emotions—tension, oppression, eruption, then returning to calm.

Finally, the screen went completely black, only Joker's laughter echoing faintly:

"W. serious?"

The editing ended, the room fell silent.

Chen Xing widened his eyes, Yan Xu opened his mouth, and after a while managed to blurt: "... Holy shit!"

Lin Mo released the keyboard, leaned back, and said: "Now you know where the difference lies?"

The two nodded frantically.

"Remember," finally Lin Mo stood up, patted their shoulders, "a good trailer isn't about piling the most explosive shots together; it's about making the audience unable to sit still after watching, unable to sleep, wishing tomorrow were the release day."
