Chapter 560: Robot Total Mobilization Launches!
"Director Lin, this one line of yours directly raised the artistic conception of this scene by a level!" Zhang Zhijian said with a smile.
As the producer of this drama, Han Canping stroked his chin and nodded, unable to praise: "This design is truly wonderful—just like the moment startled birds take flight, it mirrors his whole life—seemingly soaring high, yet ultimately falling into the abyss."
Zhang Fengyi laughed from the side: "Director Lin, you deserve your producer credit—one sentence and we have to work half a day extra!"
The scene instantly burst into laughter.
Lin Mo also laughed and replied: "Teacher Zhang, look—Teacher Xu just performed this segment so brilliantly; it's a shame not to give it a good shot, right?"
Xu Yajun hurriedly waved his hands: "Director Lin, you're overpraising me—actually this scene..." He paused, his eyes growing deep: "Even last night I dreamed of performing this scene; the role of Qi Tongwei is too complex—arrogant yet inferior, ruthless yet pitiful..."
"This is where you acted well!" Lin Mo said seriously: "You fully brought out the character's multifaceted nature, especially that final gaze—three parts madness, seven parts serenity—making the audience hate him yet feel sorry for him at the same time."
"No, no..." Xu Yajun said humbly.
Zhang Zhijian, Zhang Fengyi, Wu Gang and others also began praising Xu Yajun's acting skills.
After all.
We've been partners for so long.
In this drama, they all have opposing scenes.
So naturally we can see how each one's acting is.
Xu Yajun, however, felt a bit embarrassed by everyone's praise: "It's all thanks to the well-written script..." He then looked at Lin Mo: "Director Lin, when I first read the script I was stunned by this part—the ending is both unexpected and reasonable, portraying Qi Tongwei's tragic character too thoroughly!"
Li Lu directed the reshoots while turning back to say: "It's mainly Director Lin—he oversaw the entire script, ensuring every character's behavior was seamless, which is why our shooting goes so smoothly!"
Lin Mo heard this and smiled, waving his hand.
Han Canping then patted his shoulder: "Hear that? Everyone's praising you—I'll say it straight: although you rarely show up as producer, your crucial role hasn't diminished at all!"
"San Ye, don't flatter me—this drama turned out well thanks to Director Li and all the teachers," Lin Mo said while glancing at his watch, "So, since Teacher Xu just wrapped and did such a great job, I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight as a celebration for him!"
"Great!" Wu Gang was the first to respond: "Director Lin's treat—we must show up!"
Zhang Fengyi teased: "Old Wu, are you just here for the food? Clearly you're here for the drink!"
The crowd burst into laughter again.
Xu Yajun wiped the corner of his eyes and said sincerely: "Thank you, Director Lin—honestly, after finishing this scene I felt empty inside. With your words, I feel the role is truly complete."
The sunset cast the bamboo grove in gold.
The reshoot bird shot nailed it in one take—the startled flock traced a beautiful arc across the sky.
Lin Mo stood before the monitor, nodding satisfied: "Perfect—this segment will definitely become a classic shot when aired."
Han San Ye said meaningfully: "Hear that? With Director Lin's words, this drama's ratings are secured!"
Amid everyone's laughter, this heart‑shaking scene finally came to a perfect close.
And everyone knows this classic shot's birth owes to Lin Mo's single line that pinpointed the essence.
Lin Mo stayed in Jinling for only three days.
Then he left.
The drama "In the Name of the People" is also nearing wrap.
It started filming last June, and now it's April.
No way—this drama was ordered by the higher-ups, and every aspect of its production demands flawless precision, which is why it moves so slowly.
Even many shots were deleted and reshot, deleted and reshot again.
But anyway.
Everyone still has confidence.
Once this drama airs, it will definitely be a hit.
Because the script is just too solid!
Here.
Arriving home, it was already 4:30 p. m., almost five.
Dinner was ready early, just waiting for Lin Mo to return.
She personally cooked it.
Since Re Ba's health recovered, she still enjoys cooking herself for her man.
The previous maid team basically disbanded, leaving only Aunt Wang.
Mainly, sometimes we need Aunt Wang to help look after the child.
Lin Mo pushed open the door, changed his shoes, came to the living room, and saw Re Ba holding Xiao Jiahuo on the sofa, softly humming a lullaby.
Hearing the movement, she turned her head, her eyes instantly crinkling: "You're back!"
"Mm, I'm back." Lin Mo walked over, bent down to kiss Re Ba's forehead, then gently touched the little girl's cheek: "Nuan Nuan, were you good today?"
"She was good—just kept staring at the door, as if waiting for you." Re Ba laughed, handing the girl over: "Right, Nuan Nuan?"
Seeing Dad, Nuan Nuan instantly waved her little hands excitedly, babbling, as if telling on him: "Dad, why did you take so long to come back!"
Lin Mo laughed, took the girl, lifted her high, then held her steady in his arms, making Xiao Jiahuo giggle nonstop.
"How's it going? Is 'In the Name of the People' filming smoothly?" Re Ba rose, took Lin Mo's coat and hung it up.
"Pretty smooth—just happened to catch Xu Yajun's wrap scene, which he killed." Lin Mo held Nuan Nuan and sat on the sofa, chatting with Re Ba while playing with the daughter: "For the Qi Tongwei suicide scene, I had them reshoot a bird shot, and the artistic feel instantly rose."
Re Ba leaned beside him, smiling: "When Director Lin makes a move, it's just different."
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows: "That's right!"
"Show‑off!" Re Ba lightly tapped him, her eyes full of pride.
Nuan Nuan seemed to sense her parents' joy, also crying "ah ah" twice, clutching Lin Mo's collar as if agreeing: "Dad's the best!"
As night deepened, the three‑family laughter under the warm lights felt especially cozy.
A few days later.
Lin Mo's animated film team was also ready.
Major animated films differ from live-action films.
So the required talent is also different.
Of course.
As for talent, most are supplied by their alma mater.
At the same time, Lin Mo also posted a Weibo, with the caption: 'Robots' launch!
The accompanying pictures were his hand-drawn sketches of WALL·E and Yi Wa.
