Chapter 536: Make an Animated Film for My Daughter?

Since Batman: The Dark Knight.

It's been almost half a year.

Lin Mo hasn't made any big moves.

Not even any news about him has come out.

His fans are getting anxious.

They're all waiting to see his new movie.

"What's the situation, Director Lin? It's been over half a year and still no news of a new movie?"

"Exactly, it's been a long time since we heard any news about Director Lin!"

"Ah, wasn't there some not long ago? Director Lin's sister Song Wanwan is a freshman at Shanghai Theatre Academy this cohort; I remember the news was quite hot back then!"

"Director Lin is the Producer of 'In the Name of the People', right?"

"Sigh, I'm used to Director Lin's movies; I can't get into anyone else's!"

"Me too, me too!"

Now.

There hasn't been any news online about Re Ba's pregnancy yet.

After all, those who come to visit them are all top‑tier celebrities in the circle.

Everyone's a top‑tier talent.

Director Lin and Re Ba haven't taken the initiative to post on Weibo announcing this, so how could they dare let this get out?

Where does Lin Mo even have time to make a movie now?

Re Ba is already over six months pregnant, and her belly is quite obvious.

His parents have also arrived.

Lin Mo now only does two things each day.

The first is serving as Re Ba's full‑time human handrail.

The second is constantly monitoring Re Ba's emotions.

A pregnant woman's emotions must be watched constantly.

Also, Lin Mo's dad and mom.

They even vary the soup daily, from old hen broth to carp‑tofu soup, and Re Ba drinks it to the point of questioning life.

Then they occasionally pat Re Ba's belly, muttering, "Has Nuan Nuan kicked you today?"

Song Wanwan comes to the house on weekends.

To tease Re Ba and make her happy, things like that.

She, on the other hand, is specifically in charge of that.

Here.

Another weekend.

Song Wanwan arrived.

"Sister‑in‑law, I have a particularly fun video to show you!"

Re Ba was being fed strawberries by Lin Mo, and she leaned over curiously at the words, "What's up, why so excited?"

"An AI parody of Empresses in the Palace on Douyin!" Song Wanwan opened the video, stifling a laugh, "Watch closely—"

In the video, the dignified Empresses in the Palace suddenly hops onto a Harley motorcycle, revs the throttle and barrels straight into the palace; behind her, An Lingrong brandishes a Gatling gun, firing wildly: "Sister, I've come to rescue you!" The Emperor, seated on the dragon throne, is so frightened he clutches his head and scurries away, while Consort Hua drives a tank and rams a huge hole through the palace wall…

"Pfft!" Re Ba nearly spat out the strawberry, "What the heck is this!"

"This AI has twisted the facial features…" Lin Mo hadn't finished speaking when, in the video, the Empress does a backflip, brandishing a Qinglong Yanyue Dao, chopping the imperial garden into pieces.

"Hahaha!" Re Ba laughed, slapping the sofa, "This is way more exciting than the original!"

Song Wanwan proudly waved her phone: "There's an even better one!" She swiped to another video, this time My Fair Princess: Ziwei rides a shared bike racing through alleys, Little Swallow sits on the back seat throwing firecrackers at pursuers, while Erkang drives an excavator in pursuit…

Re Ba laughed, her belly twitching, and quickly pressed her stomach: "Ouch, I can't… Nuan Nuan's kicking me…"

Lin Mo quickly steadied her: "Take it easy with the laughing, don't strain your back."

"No, I have to send it to Sister Li so she can see it. Husband, can you send it for me? I want to see Sister Li's reaction~" Re Ba, thinking of this, couldn't help but giggle.

The "Sister Li" she mentioned is, of course, Sun Li, Deng Chao's wife.

This year, a global AI craze has erupted.

Online, many people specifically use AI to parody classic film and TV works.

The most common target is Empresses in the Palace.

Lin Mo took Re Ba's phone, opened WeChat, found Sun Li's chat window, and casually forwarded the video.

Then Re Ba said to Lin Mo: "Honey, hold down the voice button~"

Lin Mo complied.

Next, Re Ba laughed into the phone: "Sister Li, look at your Huan Huan's new look, it's killing me!"

The message had been sent only a few seconds when the chat window showed the other side typing…

With a "ding", Sun Li replied instantly:

"Today already a lot of people have sent me this video…"

"Our Empresses in the Palace production group is also talking about this!"

Finally, Sun Li also sent a helpless expression.

Anyway.

Lin Mo still has some thoughts on this matter.

"Although the idea is indeed good, indulging AI to mess around like this will ruin the classics; I guess the authorities will eventually step in to curb this phenomenon!"

Re Ba poked Lin Mo's face with a smile and said, "Oh dear, Director Lin Mo is starting to worry about the country and the people again?"

Lin Mo grabbed her hand and said solemnly, "This isn't a joke; AI technology abuse really is a problem. If one day someone messes around with my movie characters..."

"'The fans would be the first to object!' Song Wanwan interjected, 'Brother, your fans are fierce—last time someone messed with Batman in The Dark Knight, they got bashed all over the hot searches.'

Re Ba suddenly thought of something, her eyes lighting up: "Right, husband, you've always wanted to prepare a special gift for Nuan Nuan, haven't you? How about... you personally make an animated film for her?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow: "Huh?"

"'That kind of...' Re Ba gestured, 'Made especially for kids to watch, warm and cute, so when Nuan Nuan grows up she can proudly say this is an animated film my dad made for me!'"

Song Wanwan immediately raised her hand: "Me! Me! Me! I can be the first audience!"

Lin Mo stroked his chin, deep in thought.

"'Sure, I'll think about the plot carefully later!'"

Lin Mo turned to Song Wanwan, handing her a strawberry offhand: "By the way, how have you been at Shanghai Theatre Academy lately? Still getting used to it?"

"'It's going great, teacher—my classmates are all doing well, and Principal Wang has been taking good care of me too!'"

Song Wanwan nodded repeatedly.

"'At school, get along well with your classmates, work hard on your acting class, don't just daydream all the time—when you're a junior, I'll arrange a big production for you!'"

"'Ah? Really, brother! I love you to death!'"
