Chapter 567: with translation of chapter title

Song Wanwan went to Magic City International Film Festival as a volunteer, Lao Wang also called Lin Mo.

Lin Mo found out, but he didn't say anything.

He of course knew that Lao Wang was deliberately looking after this girl.

They all got into Shanghai Theatre Academy.

After graduation, they'll definitely be heading into the entertainment industry.

Besides, his older brother is Lin Mo, who is very well-known, and his network spans the entertainment industry.

Lao Wang thought it would be okay to let Song Wanwan meet these people ahead of time.

After leaving school, it will be beneficial.

At the same time.

Online.

A photo was posted by netizens and quickly rose to the top of the hot search list.

The editor-in-chief of Times Weekly, James Wilson, posted a tweet.

Translated into Chinese, it roughly means: "Just finished an interview with Lin! This director who created a box-office miracle is using animation to dream for his daughter. Lin. Mo, the cover figure of Times Weekly, see you next issue! #MovieLegend #FatherlyLoveLikeMountains!"

The picture shows Lin Mo at Morning Light Base, leaning casually against the rendering center's equipment, holding a WALL-E mini toy in one hand, his suit jacket draped over his shoulder and his tie slightly loosened.

Less than ten minutes after the tweet was posted, overseas netizens had screenshotted it and shared it domestically.

#Lin Mo Times Weekly Cover#

It shot to the top of the Weibo hot search list, and netizens went berserk.

"Holy crap! It's the cover! Not the Asia version!"

"Is Director Lin now a national emblem?"

: 「6666！！！」 -> none.

"Awesome, bro!"

"I was wondering why Times Weekly hasn't interviewed Director Lin all along; turns out they were saving up for a big story!"

"Awesome!!!"

: 「...... 」 -> none.

Domestically.

Industry insiders are no longer surprised by Director Lin's various exploits.

But...

Seeing this news,

Still can't help being shocked.

Various group chats are abuzz with discussion.

Huang Bo exclaimed, "Holy crap, Director Lin, that's too awesome!"

Sun Honglei: "@Huang Bo, why not give your master a call to congratulate!"

Shen Teng: "Our boss never admitted it!!!"

Chen He: "Hahaha, Tengge is worked up, if Bo Ge were Director Lin's disciple, what would you call Bo Ge?"

Deng Chao: "Exactly, Director Lin never admitted it~"

Teacher He: "The cover person of Times Weekly, indeed Director Lin!"

Zhang Yixing: "Still my brother is awesome!"

In the group, Huang Bo and Shen Teng are still arguing here.

Of course, just joking.

They are old acquaintances.

The online hype, it'll pass quickly.

Mainly because Lin Mo's status is too high now.

Everyone was just a little shocked, joking; even CCTV News reported it several times, the previous Times Weekly cover—what's there to be strange about?

Besides this matter.

There's another matter, netizens are also heatedly discussing it.

That is, the drama "People's Nominee" supervised by Lin Mo and produced by Han Canping will air tonight on CCTV prime time!

Netizens have been looking forward to this drama for a long time.

The cast is all veteran actors, plus the supervisor is Lin Mo!

Who wouldn't look forward to it?

Even.

After getting off work, Re Ba still pulled Lin Mo to watch together.

No way, who let Lin Mo hype this drama so much when he talked to Re Ba before.

This made Re Ba very curious too.

Before 8 p. m., Re Ba held Nuan Nuan, snuggled on the sofa, waiting for "People's Nominee" to start.

"What's the rush, there are still ten minutes~" Lin Mo was slowly peeling an apple.

Nuan Nuan sat in Mom's embrace, little hand grabbing the remote and stuffing it into her mouth, Re Ba quickly snatched it away: "Be good, this can't be eaten!" Then she turned to ask Lin Mo, "You said before that this drama's scale is especially big? How big can it be?"

Lin Mo cut the apple into small pieces and fed them to Re Ba: "Put it this way, after watching the first episode you'll know what it means for even a money counting machine to be worn out."

"Ah?" Re Ba widened her eyes, "Why?"

Just as they were speaking, the theme song of "People's Nominee" came from the TV.

Re Ba saw the words "Supreme People's Procuratorate Audiovisual Center" flash on the screen, suddenly sat upright: "Is this drama produced by the Supreme Procuratorate?"

"How else could I dare to shoot something this intense?" Lin Mo said with a smile.

As the main film started, the opening scene featured Lu Yi's Hou Liangping leading a team to search Zhao Dehan's home.

At first, Re Ba felt that Zhao Dehan's character was rather pitiful.

In the shot, Hou Yong's Zhao Dehan wore a crumpled shirt, crouched in a dilapidated tenement building, slurping a bowl of noodles with sauce, his mouth full of oil, the very image of an honest, low-level civil servant.

When the anti-corruption bureau burst into his home to search, he wore an innocent expression, even a hint of grievance: "Go ahead and search, I, Zhao Dehan, am upright and sit straight—I haven't taken a single penny!"

Re Ba frowned, whispering to Lin Mo: "This guy is too pitiful—did they arrest the wrong person?"

Lin Mo smiled without a word, just handing her an apple slice: "Keep watching."

Needless to say, veteran actors are veteran actors—Hou Yong's acting could be called textbook-level.

When being searched, he first displayed an air of righteous calm, unbent by his shadow: "I hate corrupt officials the most—my monthly salary is only four thousand yuan, and this is all I have at home..."

That tone and demeanor were exactly those of a clean-living, honest minor official.

The more Re Ba watched, the more she felt something was off, though she couldn't pinpoint what.

The anti-corruption bureau then took Zhao Dehan to the office for another search, still acting as if they could search however they liked.

Only when they arrived at the grand villa did they see the money stuffed in the refrigerator and an entire wall covered in cash!

Re Ba's eyes widened instantly, and she forgot to eat the apple in her hand.

Zhao Dehan's expression shifted from initial composure to slight panic, then to utter collapse; Hou Yong's acting built layer by layer, perfectly portraying the full process of a corrupt official's facade crumbling.

Especially when he knelt on the ground, weeping and wailing, "I didn't dare spend a single penny! I'm a farmer's son, scared of poverty..."—Re Ba was left dumbfounded.

"Good heavens..." Re Ba sucked in a breath of cold air, "His acting is too amazing! I actually thought he was an honest official just a moment ago!"

Lin Mo nodded with a smile: "Hou Yong's performance could go straight into acting textbooks—see how convincingly he played a good guy earlier? Only at the end did the flaw show; that contrast is the most shocking."

After the first episode ended, Re Ba remained immersed in Hou Yong's acting and couldn't help checking Weibo.

Meanwhile, on Weibo at that moment,

#Hou Yong's Acting Explodes# had already topped the hot search list, with netizens exclaiming:

"At first I really thought they'd arrested the wrong person..."

"This acting is amazing! A textbook-level corrupt official!"

"Teacher Hou Yong acted so realistically I almost thought he was a good person!"

"This acting is simply divine! In the earlier noodle-eating scene I was thinking, 'What a poor old guy,' but later it completely blew my mind!"

"When I saw the fridge stuffed with cash, I was dumbfounded—this show's scale is just too huge!"

"This is what a veteran actor should be—two episodes' worth of screen time and he's instantly deified! Some traffic stars could film dozens of dramas and still not match these twenty minutes!"

"I'm reporting Teacher Hou Yong for fraud under my real name! He acted too much like a good person earlier—I was completely duped!"

"......"

The discussion of the topic "In the Name of the People" had only just begun to ferment.

That night, countless viewers, just like Re Ba, were utterly conquered by the veterans' acting and could hardly wait for the next day's plot.

And as the actor who played Zhao Dehan, Hou Yong.

He himself felt inexplicably famous.

Ah?

I just did a cameo, didn't I?

How did I get famous?

In just one short night, Hou Yong's Weibo gained hundreds of thousands of followers.

The comments in the reply section were uniformly uniform.

Veterans, acting school, etc.

All of them were praising him.

After decades of acting, he became a top stream overnight!
