Chapter 56: then translation of title

Filming on set, ah.

Although it's quite boring.

But this time also passed quite quickly.

In the blink of an eye.

Since the start of filming The Richest Man in Xihong City, over half a month has passed.

During this half month.

Nothing major happened nationally.

But in the entertainment circle.

There's a big thing!

The box office record for domestic films has been broken!

Mermaid, with a box office of 3.3 billion, broke the record previously set by Monster Hunt, successfully topping the domestic film box office chart!

But thinking about it, it's normal.

After all.

The director is Stephen Chow, after all!

Those two words 'Stephen Chow' are a signboard!

This film also made a female star, Lin Yun, famous.

And contributed an iconic audiovisual scene.

In the future, ah.

There will be two policemen, whose laugh on Douyin will last for years!

Right.

This film also has another beneficiary.

That naturally is Chao Ge.

In itself, Chao Ge has been hugely popular these past few years.

Now adding this film Mermaid.

It's even more wildly popular.

Well.

In the group chat.

Everyone's chat topics are all pointing to Chao Ge.

Things like 'don't forget old friends when you become rich'.

Lin Mo also posted in the group: "Chao Ge, in the future when I ask you to film, you won't ignore me, right~"

"How could that be? Director Lin, if you ask me to film, I'll come right away!"

Deng Chao saw Lin Mo's words and hurriedly replied.

"Hahaha, Chao, your expression is different from just now~"

"Exactly, exactly!"

"Chao Ge, why do you have two faces~"

The group members also teased incessantly.

Lin Mo chatted with them in the group for a while.

On the set here.

Luo Kai is setting up the scene.

Such work is naturally left to them.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Lin Mo's two acquaintances are on their way to the set.

In the car.

"You say, later when Lin Mo sees us two, won't he be surprised~" Xu Zheng said, looking at Ning Hao beside him.

Ning Hao, however, put on a 'seen it all' look: "What's there to be surprised about? Jiang Dao personally came to visit the set a few days ago, Lin Mo has good connections."

Upon mentioning Jiang Wen, Xu Zheng also perked up: "You say, when did this kid Lin Mo hook up with Jiang Wen? We haven't heard any wind about it."

"Wasn't Charlotte's Trouble just released and hot recently? The Sixth Princess interviewed Lin Mo, and Jiang Wen was there too!"

Ning Hao pays more attention to this kind of news, so he said.

Xu Zheng suddenly realized, that's how it is.

What should be said, don't look at Lin Mo being young, but his vision is sharp, writing scripts and directing are both top-notch, surpassing his age by a lot.

So, Lin Mo being able to be friends with Jiang Wen is really not strange.

Besides, he initially pulled Teng Hua Tao to organize a gathering, wasn't it also to get to know this young talent?

Not long after.

The two then arrived at the filming site of The Richest Man in Xihong City.

Although.

There are staff guarding outside.

But Xu Zheng, with his big bald head, is still quite recognizable.

The staff immediately recognized him.

"Director Xu!"

Maybe it's because Ning Hao doesn't show up much, although those two staff members didn't recognize him.

Of course.

Ning Hao also didn't care.

"We're here to visit Director Lin on set; can we go in?" Xu Zheng asked with a smile.

"Sure, sure! Do you need me to give a heads-up?" the staff member replied hurriedly.

"No need, no need, we'll find our own way." Xu Zheng waved his hand.

"Alright, Director Xu, take it easy!"

The two walked into the set, talking and laughing.

Xu Zheng was still showing off: "See? Without me, you couldn't get in!"

"Your big bald head, all shiny and oily—you won't find a second like you in the circle!" Ning Hao teased.

"Get lost!"

Just like that, the two walked in, chatting and laughing.

However.

They've just come in.

And then they saw a memorable scene.

What a memorable scene...

The coach played by Wei Xiang, unable to stand the opposing team's fouls, excitedly exchanged some national essence with the opposing coach.

Good grief!

What the hell is this?

This left Xu Zheng and Ning Hao dumbfounded.

They kept cursing, still not satisfied, and each pulled out a pack of Seven Wolves from their waists, ready to fight.

Next, players from both sides came over to break it up.

Then the plot twisted.

Wei Xiang suddenly seemed like a different person.

He first backed down, then walked over to the opposing coach, indicating he wanted to shake hands and make peace.

The result...

The next second.

Wei Xiang, quick-handed, directly pulled off the other coach's pants.

Truly lives up to being Wei Xiang (Xiang)!

A man who even takes advantage of others with his name.

Playing such a despicable role, he's simply superb.

"Click!"

At Lin Mo's command, the scene wrapped up perfectly, and it was all done in one shot!

My goodness...

Xu Zheng and Ning Hao exchanged a glance, both wondering, "What is this kid filming?"

But, soon enough.

The cast and crew quickly recognized Xu Zheng.

No way around it.

His big bald head is just too eye-catching.

"Ah, isn't that Director Xu Zheng?"

"Director Xu has arrived!"

"Who's beside Director Xu? He looks so familiar!"

"Hiss... that's Director Ning Hao!"

Upon hearing the commotion, Lin Mo turned and smiled: "Director Xu, Director Ning, what brings you here?"

Xu Zheng and Ning Hao walked over, Xu Zheng smiling: "I didn't come specially to visit the set, did I? Last time we agreed you'd let me watch you film Charlotte's Trouble, but you finished before I knew!"

"Director Lin, that scene you just filmed was really unique!" Ning Hao also said with a smile.

Hearing that,

Lin Mo then called over Wei Xiang and the others.

"Come, let me introduce you: this is Director Xu Zheng, and this is Director Ning Hao."

There's no need for Lin Mo to introduce them.

Working in the entertainment circle.

Who doesn't know these two big shots?

Next.

Everyone then started calling them "Director Xu" and "Director Ning".

As for Shen Teng,

He's quite familiar with Xu Zheng and Ning Hao.

And Xiao Tian had also met those two directors before.
