Chapter 517

The other side.

Han Canping is in the meeting room discussing script details with Zhou Meisen and Li Lu, the director of "In the Name of the People".

Thus we should include named entities that appear, using the exact English from glossary if they are in glossary. For those not in glossary, we need to translate them? The instruction says "EXCLUDE... real-world brands/apps/celebrities". "In the Name of the People" is a real-world TV show (Chinese drama). It's a real-world brand/app/celebrity? It's a TV show, maybe considered a real-world brand? Probably exclude. So we won't list it.

Thus from line 2: Han Canping, Zhou Meisen, Li Lu.

Han San Ye tapped the table lightly with his finger, looked at Zhou Meisen, and said, "Old Zhou, this Li Da Kang storyline still needs more polishing..."

All the other characters in the script have been pretty much finalized; only Li Da Kang has gone through several revisions and still isn't quite right.

Before he finished speaking, the assistant rushed in, his face full of excitement: "Han Director! Director Lin's movie Batman: The Dark Knight broke the record! $30.83 billion, global box office #1!!!" Named: Han Director (referring to Han Canping as chairman? Not in glossary. But "Han Director" is a title: Han (surname) plus the character for director. Not in glossary. Should we list it? It's a title, but not in glossary. The glossary includes "Producer" etc. Not the character for director. Might be considered a rank? It's the abbreviated corporate title "Chairman of the Board". Not in glossary. We could treat it as not required. Also "Director Lin" is in glossary as Director Lin. Also the movie title "Batman: The Dark Knight" appears in glossary: "The Dark Knight" → The Dark Knight, "Batman" → Batman. So we need to list those. Also "Global Box Office #1" is in glossary. So list: Director Lin, The Dark Knight, Batman, Global Box Office #1. Also maybe "Han Director" not needed.

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

Zhou Meisen and Li Lu were both stunned.

Han Canping was fine, relatively calm.

After all, a few days ago Lin Mo came to Yanjing, and the two of them had already talked about this.

"Batman: The Dark Knight" broke the record set by "Avatar", and that was easy.

"Director Lin, that's too awesome!" Li Lu exclaimed excitedly.

As fellow directors, look at yourself, then look at Director Lin.

This gap is unbelievable!

"San Ye, inviting Director Lin to produce our drama this time is absolutely fantastic!" Zhou Meisen was also extremely excited.

Just kidding.

The top-grossing director worldwide is producing their drama.

How honored they must feel.

Han Canping smiled and said, "Let's stop here for today, Old Zhou, you sort out and polish the Li Da Kang storyline; Old Li, you also get ready; next week, we'll officially start filming this drama."

"Alright, Chairman Han!"

The two responded and then left.

Meanwhile, Han Canping took out his phone, preparing to call Lin Mo.

For such a big thing, we certainly need to congratulate this kid.

However.

The call was dialed, and they are now talking.

"This kid is busy today!" Han Canping looked at his phone, smiled, and said.

That's right.

Lin Mo at this moment.

His phone hasn't stopped ringing.

Calls are coming in one after another.

Well, he was on the phone with Cheng Long, chatting halfway, when he saw Han San Ye's call come in; Lin Mo then laughed and said to Long Shu, "Uncle Long, we're talking about Cao Cao, and here he comes—just as we mentioned San Ye, he called me!"

"Haha, go ahead and answer; I'll be coming to Mo Du in a couple of days, and then we'll find a place to chat!" Cheng Long laughed and said.

"Okay!"

Lin Mo readily agreed.

After hanging up with Cheng Long, Lin Mo then called Han San Ye.

The call connected within a couple of seconds.

"Hello, San Ye!"

From the other end came Han San Ye's laughter: "Director Lin, are you calling to make an appointment now?"

Lin Mo also laughed and replied: "San Ye, are you scolding me? I was just about to give you the good news..."

"Cut it out!" Han San Ye interrupted him, though his voice revealed undisguised relief: "Thirty years ago, when I watched Red Sorghum win the Golden Bear, I never dared dream that our Huaguo directors could win the global box office championship..."

Han Canping's words surely echo the bitterness of many Huaguo directors.

And Lin Mo today broke the global box office record, becoming a new legend!

This also gives those Huaguo directors a chance to catch their breath.

Earlier, big brother Cheng Long and elder brother Jiang Wen also said it like this.

After hearing Han Canping's words, Lin Mo said seriously, "San Ye, this is all standing on the shoulders of our predecessors; if it weren't for the generation of filmmakers like you who opened the international market back then, we wouldn't have the stage we have today!"

"You, stop flattering me!" Han Canping scolded with a laugh, then added, "On a serious note, next week 'In the Name of the People' will start filming; you have to come to the kickoff press conference. You should have plenty of time lately, right?"

"I have plenty of time!" Lin Mo said with a smile.

"Alright then, we'll talk when we meet!"

"Fine!"

The coming days are a carnival for Huaguo film fans.

And 'Batman: The Dark Knight' also lives up to expectations.

After the new film's theatrical run ended, its global box office reached 33.72 billion USD.

Mainly because 'The Dark Knight' topped the global box office, it sparked a viewing feast.

Abroad it's unknown, but domestically.

The fans and audiences there are extremely enthusiastic.

2022, the global film box office ranking list.

Lin Mo alone occupied five movies.

In first place is 'Batman: The Dark Knight'!

Then the third place is 'Speed and Passion 2'!

Fourth place is 'Speed and Passion 1'!

Sixth place is 'British Duel'!

Seventh place, 'Wolf Warrior'!

This title of Box Office God, Lin Mo has indeed become it!

On the global box office top-ten list, he occupies a total of five spots.

Putting it in Feng Dao's classic words: Who else!!!

May 5.

'The People's Justice' is about to start filming in Jinling; originally it was supposed to begin a few days earlier.

But it just happened to coincide with a holiday break, so it was postponed a few days.

As the producer of this drama, Lin Mo naturally had to be present at the groundbreaking ceremony!

8 a. m.

The administrative building of Jinling Sports Institute, which is also the filming location for the Han Dong Provincial Committee in the drama.

Early morning, the light rain had just cleared; the crew deliberately chose this time.

Meet water and prosper!

And the on-site arrangements were also very low-key.

No red carpet, no media area—just a simple incense table covered with red cloth!

The banner read 'Good luck to the launch of The People's Justice crew,' and the font was deliberately made smaller.

The on-site staff also strictly checked attendees, mainly to prevent leaks to Reuters.

As for why they didn't invite media reporters.

Mainly because the drama's subject is relatively sensitive.

Thus, 'The People's Justice' started filming low-key.

However.

Because Lin Mo exists.

Can this drama stay low-key?

The seemingly simple groundbreaking, because of Lin Mo's appearance.

As expected, it hit the hot searches again.

"Ah? Director Lin's new drama?"

"Probably not? Based on my understanding of Director Lin, his new drama wouldn't be this fast..."

"Rumor debunked—Director Lin is busy making a baby, what new drama? /dog head/ dog head/"

"This drama should be the one previously exposed, with Han San Ye as producer and Director Lin as supervisor, the anti-corruption piece, right?"

"Just checked, this seems to be Director Lin's first production as supervisor, I'm kinda looking forward to it!"

"Sigh, I thought it was Director Lin's new movie~"

"......"
