Chapter 523: Re Ba: I am the ultimate boss you've been longing for!

Lin Mo put down the script, smiling, looked at Han Canping and Zhou Meisen and said: "San Ye, Teacher Zhou, actually we can change it like this!"

"Gao Yuliang's ending doesn't need too much dramatization; just follow the real procedure!"

Han Canping raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

"First, the suicide plan definitely won't work, it's indeed too passive," Lin Mo picked up a pen and drew a cross on the paper, "a heart attack isn't suitable either, too deliberate; we'll film him being taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission, but the focus isn't on the drama of the arrest, but rather..."

Having said that, Lin Mo paused, took a sip of water: "It lies in the symbolic meaning of power transition."

"Director Lin, please explain in detail!" Zhou Meisen said somewhat excitedly.

"So we need to strengthen the visual metaphor." Lin Mo picked up a pen and quickly sketched a few storyboard thumbnails on the paper: ""Look, the first shot I drew: Gao Yuliang in the office revising documents, the camera shoots from outside the window, through the glass you can see his bent-over back.""

"The second shot is the Discipline Inspection Commission personnel knocking and entering, Gao Yuliang looks up, at this moment the camera gives a close-up of his face, not panic, but a kind of 'finally here' relief!"

As for these three shots, when Gao Yuliang stands up, he deliberately straightens the book Wanli Fifteenth Year, then tidies his suit and tie!

Upon hearing this, Han Canping nodded thoughtfully: "This detail is good, the final dignity of an intellectual."

"The most important is the fourth shot." Lin Mo's pen made a heavy dot on the paper: "After Gao Yuliang is taken away, Sha Rui Jin stands at the window of the same office, he looks out the window, remember, this shot must be filmed with profound meaning."

Zhou Meisen pushed his glasses: "Director Lin, this meaning is..."

"This is the real killer move; when the audience sees this, they'll unintentionally recall that Qi Tong Wei died that night on Lonely Eagle Ridge, and Sha Rui Jin also stood like that in front of the Provincial Committee building's window."

Zhou Meisen sucked in a breath of cold air: "Closed loop! He used Hou Liangping's knife to complete the purge of the Han Dong gang."

"Not just that." Lin Mo then drew a spiraling upward arrow: "Pay attention to the window frame to capture the visual effect of iron bars—it seems as if Sha Rui Jin is looking at Gao Yuliang, but actually he himself is also trapped in a larger institutional cage."

Han Canping suddenly laughed out loud: "What a mantis catching the cicada! So that backlighting..."

"We need to capture the victor's demeanor while retaining the unease in the shadows." Lin Mo pointed at a certain spot in the script: "When Sha Rui Jin turns around, let half his face be hidden in shadow, the camera follows his gaze to the wall's calligraphic banner 'Integrity and Honesty'—only then will the audience recall that after this parachuted secretary took office, Han Dong Province lost a public security bureau chief and suffered a setback to the Political and Legal Committee secretary."

"The most marvelous part is.. only after the whole series ends and the audience reflects will they discover that Sha Rui Jin's first and last day in Han Dong are the same thing—standing by the window, watching yet another political opponent fall."

Zhou Meisen's steel pen tip snapped with a pop: "So Gao Yuliang tidying the book Wanli Fifteenth Year..."

"It's him, it's also Sha Rui Jin, and it's the fate of all political figures." Lin Mo said softly: "Forever repeating history, forever unable to understand history."

Upon hearing this, Han Canping slapped his thigh hard, splashing water from his tea cup: "Good! Good, an eternal inability to understand history!"

He excitedly stood up, paced back and forth in the office: "I just knew finding you was right!"

Zhou Meisen's hands were trembling, he took off his glasses and repeatedly wiped them with his clothing, his voice quivering: "Director Lin, this design... this design is simply... I've written scripts for twenty years, never have I seen such an exquisite political metaphor!"

Lin Mo merely waved his hand modestly.

Actually...

He wanted to say, this is just your ideas.

I just said it in advance.

Cough cough...

Soon, Han Canping convened a simple meeting.

He had his assistant call in the director and the main cast of In the Name of the People.

Thus, next came Han Canping and Zhou Meisen giving Lin Mo a round of enthusiastic praise.

And after listening to the revision of Gao Yuliang's final ending,

Director Li, Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Jianjian, Wu Gang, etc., all expressed being stunned.

Zhang Fengyi was the first to slam the table and stand up: "Director Lin, your design is awesome, just that backlit silhouette of Sha Rui Jin, even hearing the description gives me goosebumps!"

Zhang Jianjian then slowly took off his sunglasses, using his signature elegant tone to say: "Director Lin, this depicts Gao Yuliang's final dignity to perfection, especially the final action of Gao Yuliang adjusting his tie, which hides an intellectual's entire pride and sorrow!"

"Director Lin, this isn't just revising the script, you're giving us old-timers a lesson—no boasting, but with this ending design, you'll surely win the Best Scriptwriter at the upcoming White Magnolia Awards!" Wu Gang also said, laughing hehe.

The meeting room instantly filled with voices of agreement:

"Exactly, exactly!"

"When Director Lin acts, it's different!"

"This level truly lives up to the standard of an international top director!"

"......"

Listening to these old-timers constantly flattering, Lin Mo also felt drunk.

However.

But he didn't know.

Gao Yuliang's final ending had troubled them for many days.

Now it's finally resolved, and it's a perfect resolution.

Everyone expressed that they admired Lin Mo wholeheartedly.

On the other hand.

The crew of Phoenix Travels Under Heaven.

Exactly, it's the drama that Yang Chaoyue, Chen Yao, and Tian Xiwei collaborated on.

Earlier, Re Ba said she wanted to play a role, right?

She made a cameo as the ultimate boss.

She took care of all three of them.

Re Ba was on her way to the set; just thinking about it made her unable to stop being happy.

Just thinking that they three know it's herself coming to play this ultimate boss.

They'll definitely break down.

Haha!!!

The car slowly entered the Phoenix Travels Under Heaven set; through the window she saw Yang Chaoyue, Chen Yao, and Tian Xiwei three people rehearsing in the rest area.

She deliberately wore a pair of sunglasses and got out of the car mysteriously.

"I heard the actress playing the villainous queen is coming to the set today?" Yang Chaoyue flipped through the script, not looking up, said, "I don't know which teacher will come to play..."

It is said that it was specially invited by the investor. Chen Yao bit the straw, "I hope it's someone with a strong aura, a senior."

Tian Xiwei suddenly widened her eyes, pointing not far away: "That... that isn't Re Ba sis?"

The three raised their heads in unison, only to see Re Ba striding over with an aloof step, her sunglasses unable to hide her upturned mouth corners.

"Surprise!" Re Ba jerked off her sunglasses, "Aren't you surprised? Aren't you unexpected?"

Yang Chaoyue's script slapped onto the floor: "No... Re Ba sis you..."

"I am the ultimate Boss you've been day and night dreaming of~" Re Ba made a villain-exclusive evil charming smile, also deliberately lowered her voice, "Are you ready to accept punishment, little cuties?"

"Nooo!!!"

The three cried out in unison.

You should know.

The first scene of this villain queen is to have the three of them hung up...

Meanwhile.

The director of "Phoenix Travels the World" also rushed over upon hearing the news, bringing a bunch of actors.

Just kidding, the sponsor mom has come, they couldn't not come.

Director Wang Lei came running over in quick steps, his face full of an eager smile: "Re Ba teacher! You've come!"

The actors behind him are all little fresh meat, little flowers.

Upon seeing Re Ba, they became even more excited.

"Re Ba sis!!!"
