Chapter 548: Sylvester Stallone's phone call, Batman: The Dark Knight nominated for an Oscar!
After the Spring Sprout Action charity gala ended.
Soon, Morning Light Group announced the establishment of the Nuan Nuan Children's Foundation!
Although Lin Mo said he would donate 10% of the box office revenue into it.
But...
He hasn't filmed a new movie yet.
So, after establishing the foundation, he directly invested 300 million!
When this news came out.
The entire internet was shocked!
"Holy crap, Director Lin is really doing this!"
"300 million..."
"Awesome!"
"Ah, Batmobile plus 300 million... that's close to 500 million!"
"I declare, I will be Director Lin's lifelong die-hard fan from now on!"
"Lin Mo: I'm serious about doing charity!"
"......"
Netizens discussed heatedly.
Although..
Lin Mo had indeed said that.
But who would have thought they'd do it this quickly.
It's only been a few days, huh?
The children's foundation was just established!
At the same time.
Han Hong also posted a Weibo, expressing gratitude to Lin Mo and Morning Light Group!
This is not.
Han San Ye gave him a call.
On the call, he also praised him for doing this well.
He also said the superiors were very satisfied.
After all.
You have to contribute when you make money.
How to put it, charity itself comes with a golden body bonus.
Mainly because Lin Mo's current status and achievements are too high.
Of course.
Lin Mo's dad also called, and on the other end, his dad also praised him for doing well.
At home.
Lin Mo was playing with Xiao Jiahuo.
Just got back from the company.
He took a look at Jiaozi's production of Nezha 2.
Upon learning that the boss was also preparing to make an animated film, he also expressed great anticipation.
As for live-action films,
Jiaozi is an outsider in this, but when it comes to animation, he knows it inside out.
Nuan Nuan lay in the baby crib, her little hands and feet spread out like a tiny starfish.
Lin Mo was slowly shaking a stuffed toy in front of her eyes: "Nuan Nuan, look here~ Daddy is here~!"
Xiao Jiahuo's big eyes, like black grapes, followed the toy turning back and forth; suddenly, with an "ahwu" sound, he spit out a milk bubble.
Re Ba propped her cheeks, her brows and eyes curving into crescent moons.
She watched Lin Mo like a big kid, leaning over the baby crib making faces at Nuan Nuan.
Ahwu~
Nuan Nuan spit out another bubble, her little hands flailing in the air, and accidentally grabbed Lin Mo's nose.
"Oh wow, our Nuan Nuan is so capable!" Lin Mo deliberately spoke in an exaggerated doll voice, gently shaking his head to tease her, "Is Daddy's nose tasty?"
Nuan Nuan opened her toothless little mouth, letting out a "keke" laugh, her little feet kicking excitedly, knocking off the small blanket covering her.
Re Ba couldn't help but pick up her phone to record this warm moment.
In the shot, Lin Mo gently wiped the drool from his daughter's mouth corner with his fingertip, his gaze so tender it could drip water.
"Honey," Re Ba softly called, "Do you think Nuan Nuan has gotten a bit chubby? Her little arms are like lotus root segments."
Lin Mo turned and smiled at her: "Whatever, it's just baby fat." As he spoke, he gently pinched Nuan Nuan's chubby little hand, "Right, our little princess?"
Nuan Nuan seemed to understand, suddenly grabbing Daddy's finger and stuffing it into her mouth.
Re Ba rushed over to stop her: "Oh no, Daddy's hands are dirty, can't eat them~"
She then leaned on Lin Mo's shoulder, and together they watched the little baby waving arms and legs in the crib.
Sunlight streamed through the gauze curtains, gilding this warm scene with a golden edge.
"Are you tired?" Lin Mo asked softly, smoothing Re Ba's somewhat messy hair, "Want to take a break?"
Re Ba shook her head, eyes sparkling: "Watching you two is more effective than beauty sleep." She reached out and gently tapped Nuan Nuan's nose tip, "Right, Mommy's happy fruit?"
Nuan Nuan suddenly grabbed Mommy's finger, her obsidian-black big eyes staring unblinkingly at Re Ba, as if confirming she was her most beloved person.
At that moment, Re Ba felt her heart melt, and all fatigue vanished like smoke.
And just then.
Lin Mo's phone rang.
He picked it up and glanced at it.
Hm?
Shi Tailong's call?
He was momentarily stunned, but didn't think much and answered right away.
"Lin!"
As soon as the call connected, Shi Tailong's familiar voice came through.
"Hey, Mr. Stallone!" Lin Mo replied with a laugh while teasing Xiao Jiahuo.
"Lin, I heard you've become a professional stay‑at‑home dad~"
"Hm? Who said that?"
"Of course Jackie told me!"
"......"
The two of them started a back‑and‑forth chat.
Shi Tailong was still on the other end, sharing parenting tips with Lin Mo.
Especially how to raise a daughter.
After all...
This guy actually has three daughters.
He's quite experienced.
After chatting for a while, Shi Tailong finally got serious: "By the way, I called you for a real matter!"
"Oh?"
A real matter?
What kind of matter?
"Your film *Batman: The Dark Knight* has been nominated for 12 Oscars this year!" Shi Tailong's voice came through the microphone.
He used speakerphone, so Re Ba could hear it clearly.
Obviously.
She was also stunned.
12 Oscar nominations?
My God!
Re Ba's mouth was agape in surprise.
Lin Mo, however, remained calm.
Just a nomination, not a win...
Likewise, on the other end, Shi Tailong, seeing no reaction from Lin Mo, curiously asked, "Lin, shouldn't you be excited?"
Hearing that, Lin Mo laughed, "What's there to get excited about? Do you think the Oscars will actually hand me twelve awards?"
Oscars.
Although it's hailed as the most coveted shrine for actors worldwide.
But, well, this thing is awarded only to Hollywood's own.
Other movies...
No matter how awesome you are, you won't get any good awards.
"What if I told you you've been nominated for Best Director this year, and your chances of winning are high~" Shi Tailong continued on the line.
"Hm? Best Director? Me?"
Needless to say, that sentence left Lin Mo completely stunned.
Re Ba, excited, clutched Lin Mo's sleeve.
Lin Mo patted her shoulder, telling her not to get so worked up.
"Stallone, today isn't April Fool's Day, and even if I were nominated for Best Director, I couldn't possibly win~" Lin Mo said with a smile.
"Lin, this time it's different. I'm a member of the Oscars committee; we had a meeting two days ago specifically about you, and we all agreed you're the person reshaping cinema in the 21st century!"
"Moreover, this year's Oscars president even called you the Knight who saves cinematic art!"
"So your chances of winning the Oscars Best Director are truly high, trust me!"
