Chapter 572: Brother, why are you acting like an old man now!

After the Magic City International Film Festival ended, Lin Mo plunged headfirst into the filming of Robots.

As for Song Wanwan, that girl…

Shanghai Theatre Academy is also about on break; she doesn't want to go back, saying even if she did it would be boring.

So she stays at home.

"Bro~" Song Wanwan tugged Lin Mo's arm, shaking it back and forth, her voice sweet enough to drip honey, "Just let me go to the crew to learn! I promise to be good, I'll definitely not cause trouble!"

Lin Mo was reading the script when she shook him: "Stop messing around, the set is noisy and chaotic, what are you doing there!"

"Learning, okay!"

Song Wanwan blinked her big eyes, "This is a rare chance; after I graduate I'll still have to act, so getting in early to learn and whatnot~"

At that moment, Re Ba came out of the nursery holding Xiao Jiahuo, saw the scene and couldn't help laughing, "Wanwan, your brother falls for this the most; be even more coquettish!"

"Sister‑in‑law!" Song Wanwan instantly switched targets, ran to Re Ba's side, "Please help me persuade my brother~"

Nuan Nuan saw her aunt, stretched out a little hand for a hug; Song Wanwan quickly took Xiao Jiahuo, planted a kiss on her face, "Nuan Nuan, quickly help me persuade your dad~"

Xiao Jiahuo giggled, grabbing Song Wanwan's hair with his little hand and shoving it into his mouth.

"Oh dear little ancestor, you can't eat that!" Song Wanwan hurriedly rescued her hair, not forgetting to continue cooing at Lin Mo, "Bro, look, Nuan Nuan already agrees!"

Lin Mo helplessly set the script down, "Fine, fine, but we agreed that once you go you have to follow the arrangements..."

Before he could finish, Song Wanwan raised her hand and swore, "I promise to obey!" Then she spun around with Xiao Jiahuo, "Auntie, tomorrow you can go watch your dad filming Robots!"

Xiao Jiahuo was thrilled by the twirl, babbling and flailing, and Re Ba quickly took her daughter, "Alright, alright, don't make your niece dizzy."

"Thanks, bro! Thanks, sister‑in‑law!" Song Wanwan hopped happily, "I'll call my mom and tell her I'm not going back during the break!"

The girl said that and ran upstairs.

Lin Mo shook his head, "That girl..."

Re Ba smiled, leaning on his shoulder, "Let her go; consider it a chance for her to get familiar with crew life early!"

The Xiao Jiahuo in her arms mimicked, reaching out a little hand to touch dad's face.

Lin Mo grasped his daughter's little hand and gave it a gentle pinch.

The next day.

On the way to the Animation Base.

In the car, Lin Mo, while driving, didn't forget to tell Song Wanwan, "I saw that day many people handing out business cards, and even Lao Cao and Lao Wang added you on WeChat. I'm telling you, your current task is to study well; if you want to act, you have to wait until your professional grades are qualified…"

"Got it!" Song Wanwan elongated her tone, made a funny face, "Bro, why are you acting like an old man now, nagging all the time."

Lin Mo gave her a sidelong glance, "Find me too talkative? Then shall I turn around and drive you back home now?"

"No, no, no!" Song Wanwan immediately cowered, flatteringly leaning in, "I was wrong, I was wrong, you're the best, bro~"

Soon.

Arrived at the crew.

Song Wanwan wasn't coming for the first time; Chen Xing and Yang Sheng naturally already knew her.

"Director Chen, Director Yang!" Song Wanwan also politely greeted.

Lin Mo looked at Chen Xing and said, "Lao Chen, I'm leaving this girl to you; have her be a script assistant!" Then he turned to Song Wanwan, "You first learn from Lao Chen!"

"Okay, Director Lin!" Chen Xing hurriedly replied.

As for Song Wanwan…

She was indeed very excited.

After all, this was her first time entering a crew, and she was full of curiosity about everything.

Thus, Song Wanwan spent these two months of summer vacation in the Robots crew.

That afternoon, Re Ba came to the set with Nuan Nuan to visit.

Xiao Jiahuo wore a cute animation‑pattern jumpsuit, and upon seeing the models and props on set, he excitedly flailed his arms and legs.

"Dad's over there," Re Ba pointed at Lin Mo, who was discussing with the cinematographer.

Nuan Nuan immediately twisted her little body to go over, babbling.

Song Wanwan was sorting the script notes nearby; hearing the commotion she ran over, "Sister‑in‑law's here! Nuan Nuan missing auntie?" and was about to pinch Xiao Jiahuo's cheek.

Nuan Nuan, however, turned her head and stubbornly reached toward Lin Mo, her little mouth puckered high.

"Oh dear, this little heartless one," Song Wanwan pretended to be angry, "Yesterday you were having so much fun with auntie!"

Re Ba couldn't help laughing, "She's just eager to find dad; what are you filming today, bro?"

"We're filming the WALL·E treasure‑collecting scene," Song Wanwan said, pointing to the center of the set, "That model controlled by the robotic arm is WALL·E, and it's now putting things into a little box."

Just then, Lin Mo noticed them and hurried over.

Nuan Nuan immediately spread her arms and leapt into dad's arms like a little koala.

"Missing dad?" Lin Mo kissed his daughter's cheek; Nuan Nuan giggled, her little hand curiously reaching for the director's badge hanging around his neck.

Re Ba handed over a thermos cup, "I brought you some mung‑bean soup to cool you down."

Lin Mo was about to take it when the intercom crackled, "Director Lin, the equipment is ready."

"Coming right away." Lin Mo replied, reluctantly handing Nuan Nuan back to Re Ba, "Wait a bit longer for dad; after this scene we'll rest."

Song Wanwan hurriedly followed, "Bro, do we need any special notes for this scene?"

"Make sure to record each prop's position," Lin Mo said while walking, "We'll be shooting a continuous take shortly."

Back at the monitor, Lin Mo focused on the screen, "Action!"

The robotic arm maneuvered the WALL·E model, deftly picking up a small fork and carefully placing it into the chest‑mounted storage box.

Nuan Nuan watched intently, her little mouth forming a round O.

"Cut!" Lin Mo shouted abruptly, "The fork's angle is off; let's do it again."

Thus they shot seven or eight takes repeatedly until Lin Mo was satisfied. During the break, he walked over, took Nuan Nuan from Re Ba's arms, "Come, dad will show you WALL·E."

Xiao Jiahuo, seeing the moving robot model up close, was so excited that he clapped his hands continuously, almost bouncing out of Lin Mo's arms.

"Be careful." Lin Mo smiled, steadying his daughter, "When Nuan Nuan grows up, dad will teach you how to make movies, okay?"

Nuan Nuan obviously didn't understand, but it didn't stop her from happily grabbing dad's ear and babbling in response.
