Chapter 498: Even A‑List Stars Here Can Only Play the Laughing Part!

April 22.

The eve of the premiere of The Dark Knight.

Lin Mo's friends have all arrived in Mo Du.

The domestic ones need not be mentioned; everyone knows.

The overseas ones, such as the directors he knows—Cameron, Michael Bei, Brian.

Also Shi Tailong, Jason, and the others.

As for Fan Di Sai Er, Jushi, Paul, they will definitely come.

This time, the guest lineup for The Dark Knight's premiere is incredibly strong.

However.

What surprises Lin Mo is

Director Cameron also brought another famous world‑renowned director.

Indeed, it's Steven Spielberg!!!

The promotion of The Dark Knight truly swept the globe.

Steven Spielberg couldn't possibly not know.

Moreover, he had long been acquainted with this marvelous Eastern director; since Cameron was also familiar with him, he called Cameron, and they came together.

In the banquet hall.

When Lin Mo saw Steven Spielberg, he was still rather surprised, then saw him extend a hand of friendship and say, "Truly… unbelievable!"

"Steven, your film Schindler's List was the inspiration that set me on the path of directing…"

Huh?

Why does this sound so familiar?

At that moment, Cameron laughed, patting Lin Mo's shoulder: "Hey, Lin! Why does this sound so familiar to me?" He turned to Steven Spielberg and squinted, "Last time he told Michael (Michael Bei) that Transformers was his inspiration, and when he met me he said Titanic made him fall in love with movies…"

Michael Bei also stuck his head out from behind: "Exactly, Lin, how could you do this!!!"

"Haha!"

Immediately, laughter erupted around.

Steven pretended to be sad and shook his head: "Oh, Lin, so I'm just one name on your long list of inspirations?"

Lin Mo was unflustered, still smiling, and said, "Movies are like a long river, each master a shining wave within it." He raised his glass to Steven Spielberg, "And you are the wave that stirs up a terrifying tempest."

This trick of speaking to people as they are, and to ghosts as ghosts, Lin Mo wielded with great skill.

Foreigners have never seen this.

So Lin Mo's words made Steven feel delighted, reaching a climax, and he laughed with pure joy.

At that moment, Cheng Long also walked over; he had just been chatting with Han Canping on the other side.

Steven, his old friend.

"Steven!"

Long Shu laughed and gave Steven a big hug around the shoulders.

"Jackie, long time no see!"

Steven also smiled broadly.

Then Jason, Fan Di Sai Er, Cameron, Michael Bei and others all hurriedly greeted Cheng Long.

You should know.

To these foreign actors, Cheng Long is a godlike figure.

Over here, the circle of actresses is equally lively.

Re Ba today wore a silver mermaid dress that glittered under the lights.

Yang Mi leaned in and whispered, "Your Director Lin is now absolutely sizzling, wow, Cameron, Steven Spielberg, they're all legendary‑level big shots!"

The actresses present included Bai Lu, Qin Lan, Qin Hailu, Xin Zhilei…

Of course, this is a circle they're more familiar with.

People like Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li, Lao Mouzi were on the other side.

The premiere of The Dark Knight.

They, of course, had to attend.

Even if they were filming, they'd have to take leave to come.

"If this gets posted online, those netizens would go crazy!" Qin Hailu remarked.

"Yeah, those two are world‑famous directors!" Xin Zhilei added from the other side.

How to put it…

Perhaps because they and Lin Mo both know each other and have met, there's no such barrier.

But…

They have never seen Cameron or Steven Spielberg; to them those two are like legendary figures, so seeing them suddenly, how could they not be shocked?

Yang Mi glanced at Re Ba, then laughed, "If you ask me, it's still Boss Lin who's impressive~"

"Yes, yes, Director Lin is the most awesome!"

Indeed.

The guest lineup of this premiere.

Not to mention domestic films; even abroad, which movie could achieve this?

Just Cheng Long, Cameron, and Steven Spielberg alone.

Could you possibly invite them!

Re Ba heard everyone praising her man, she of course was smiling very happily.

Similarly, on the other side.

Those people from the Beijing circle.

For example, the Wang Family Brothers, Feng Xiaogang and them.

To be honest, they saw Cameron, Steven Spielberg, and Michael Bei coming to attend Director Lin's movie premiere.

That was also quite shocking.

Jiang Wen, holding a glass of champagne, laughed and said to everyone: "See? My younger brother is awesome, that's Cameron and Steven Spielberg!"

Feng Xiaogang also nodded and said: "Teacher Jiang, when I was filming The Big Shot, it was a hassle to even get a second-tier Hollywood star, look at Director Lin..." He pointed at Lin Mo, who was chatting and laughing happily with Steven Spielberg, "This lineup directly brings the figures from film history textbooks onto the stage!"

Ge You narrowed his eyes, slowly sipping his red wine and said: "Nonsense, you don't even look at your own status, look at Director Lin's status!"

Exactly, "Compared to Director Lin, do you even measure up?" Chen Daoming also laughed and scolded.

I certainly don't measure up, but that doesn't stop my admiration for Director Lin!' Feng Xiaogang showed no annoyance, instead he said happily.

This scene was also happening among the various groups in the banquet hall.

Lin Mo's connections had become vast.

On the Beijing circle side there was a group of people, the Hong Kong circle also had theirs, and the Shanghai circle as well—whatever the heads of New Beauty, Light, Splendid Accord... there were too many to count.

Speaking without exaggeration.

So-called domestic first-line stars, when they come here, they all have to take turns offering a toast.

No way, there are too many big shots in this banquet hall.
