Chapter 526: Director Yang, your status in Huaguo animated films will never be the same!

On the other side.

June 16.

Since it was the weekend, Song Wanwan also took her best friend to watch Nezha.

After all, the movie is from her older brother's company.

Song Wanwan's best friend is named Zhao Xue.

She is that kind of childhood friend, having known each other since elementary school and attended the same middle and high schools.

Zhao Xue naturally knows that Song Wanwan is director Lin Mo's sister.

Because she has met Lin Mo.

It was in middle school when Lin Mo came back to pick up Song Wanwan, and they met.

Also, Song Wanwan was younger back then.

So she couldn't hide anything.

Everyone close to her knows she has a brother who is a director.

But at that time, Lin Mo's fame wasn't especially great.

Everyone didn't pay much attention.

When the movie ended and the theater lights came on, Song Wanwan and Zhao Xue followed the crowd out of the auditorium. Around them, many viewers were still excitedly discussing the plot, and some children even mimicked Nezha's line, squeaking, "My fate is decided by me, not by heaven!"

Song Wanwan rubbed her slightly sore eyes, turned to Zhao Xue, and asked with a grin, "How was it? My brother's movie was good, right?"

Zhao Xue, still immersed in the movie's mood, had bright eyes: "Wow, it was really awesome! The special effects were explosive, and the plot was thrilling!"

Song Wanwan proudly lifted her chin: "Of course!"

"Come on, come on, I'll treat you to milk tea!"

Saying that, the two girls went to a nearby milk tea shop.

Girls, after all.

Milk tea and the like, we have no natural resistance to them.

On the way back, Zhao Xue watched Song Wanwan talking nonstop and said enviously, "Wanwan, I'm really jealous of you!"

"Huh? What are you jealous of?" Song Wanwan was startled for a moment.

"Of course I'm jealous that you have a great brother!" Zhao Xue said.

Just kidding.

How could I not be jealous?

Her brother is Lin Mo!!!

"Hehe~"

Song Wanwan wore a smiling "hehe" expression.

Zhao Xue continued, "Wanwan, when you become a big star, don't forget us even if you become rich and powerful!"

Song Wanwan pretended to be a big boss, patted Zhao Xue's shoulder, and elongated the tone: "Little Zhao~ from now on stick with your sister, I'll make sure you have the good life!"

"Enough!" Zhao Xue laughed, pushing her, "Are you already starting to show off?"

"Hehe!"

The two began to tease each other, laughing and chatting.

Chen Shuang.

He and his girlfriend had just left the cinema.

At first, he didn't want to watch the movie.

Although Chen Shuang is a fan of Lin Mo.

But...

He's truly not interested in animated films.

He had no choice; his girlfriend dragged him here.

As a result...

Guess what.

While watching the movie, he suddenly realized, damn, this Nezha is kind of interesting.

"How about it? Some people said they don't watch animated films," his girlfriend Wang Ting said with a teasing smile, deliberately mimicking his impatient tone before entering, "Aren't animated films only for kids?"

Chen Shuang scratched his head, his face still showing fresh excitement: "This isn't an animated film; the special effects and scenes are even more thrilling than Hollywood blockbusters!"

"Now you know it's actually great?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault!"

"Punish you by making you treat me to hot pot!"

"Alright, let's go, we'll have hot pot later!"

Meanwhile.

On the other side.

After the premiere of Nezha: The Devil Boy's Birth.

Lin Mo had already had Xiao Rou book a restaurant.

Although the premiere ceremony wasn't elaborate, at least Director Yang, Chao Ge, and Chen Laoshi also came.

One can't be negligent in hospitality.

"Director Yang, Nezha: The Devil Boy's Birth is really good. Before coming, I simply thought it was an animated film, but you elevated Huaguo mythology to a new height, especially that line 'My fate is decided by me, not by heaven'—so powerful!"

At the dining table, Chen Daoming patted Yang Yu's shoulder and said.

Hearing this, Yang Yu was very modest: "Chen Laoshi, you flatter me!"

Lin Mo smiled at Chen Daoming and said, "How about it, I already told you Nezha would give you a surprise, right?"

Yesterday, when the two were on a call.

Lin Mo heard that Chen Daoming was coming, and he said on the phone that after watching Nezha, he would certainly have a different feeling.

"Director Lin, this isn't just a surprise for me, it's practically a lesson!"

"To be honest, in recent years I've seen too many films waving the banner of the rise of Chinese animation, most of them were all show and no substance, but Nezha truly hits the mark!"

Chen Daoming said this, and he grew serious, even pointing to his chest.

Indeed.

As he said, there have been quite a few animated movies these years.

They were hyped up before release, shouting loudly slogans like "the light of Chinese animation" and "the rise of Chinese animation."

But after release, they flopped miserably.

The online reviews were overwhelmingly negative!

It's just like before The Wandering Earth came out; whenever a sci‑fi film was about to be released, they'd boast that the great door of Huaguo science fiction was about to open.

The result, well…

Deng Chao raised a glass to Yang Yu and said, "Director Yang, after this film, your place in Chinese Animation film history will be different!"

As an insider.

Could Deng Chao's eye be any less sharp?

Nezha is bound to be a hit; the box office will easily reach a few tens of billions.

It might even be higher!

An animated film can earn tens of billions, even twenty billion, at the box office.

Isn't that terrifying?

So, as he said, from today onward, Yang Yu's standing in Chinese-language Animation… not only that, his position in Huaguo film history will be different!

"Right, Lao Deng Tou was spot on; Director Yang, you're amazing, I'll raise a glass to you too!"

Chen He followed with a remark.

Yang Yu, seeing the two big stars toast him, also raised his cup and said, "Thanks, Chao Ge, thanks, He Ge!"

Likewise, Yang Mi also toasted Yang Yu alone.

"Director Yang, after watching the film I've become a Nezha fan; later give me your autograph, so when Director Yang becomes famous I can keep it as a collection," Yang Mi said with a smile.

"Mi Jie, keep Director Yang's signature safe; it'll be worth a lot later!" Re Ba said with a laugh.

However, Yang Mi didn't know.

Her words later turned out to be true.

Lin Mo smiled, raised his cup, and looked at everyone: "Come, this drink—let's toast to a new era of Chinese Animation, and toast to all of you here for witnessing this historic moment!"

Hearing this, everyone also raised their cups in turn.
