Chapter 580: Jiaozi, What Are You Afraid Of, Why Won

The scene slowly opens in the vast starry sky, accompanied by a lilting piano melody.

First, what appears before netizens is Earth beneath a post‑apocalyptic wasteland.

The camera pierces the thick cloud layer, overlooking a scarred Earth; amid mountains of trash, a tiny yellow robot works diligently, WALL·E's nimble mechanical arm picking up a diamond ring and curiously rotating it in the sunlight.

A suddenly arriving spaceship stirs up clouds of dust; the pure‑white Yi Wa emerges from the glare, her high‑tech chassis starkly contrasting with WALL·E's antiquated frame.

The camera cuts to a close‑up of the two robots' eyes: WALL·E blinks shyly, Yi Wa scans coldly.

Then the footage jumps through various shots: WALL·E clinging to the ship's hull as it rockets through the atmosphere, a grotesque scene of obese humans floating in a space station while sipping drinks, Yi Wa activating combat mode with lasers slicing the darkness in a breathtaking flash, WALL·E soaring in space using a fire extinguisher to create romantic bubbles for Yi Wa, and a silhouette of the two robots holding hands against the cosmic backdrop......

Finally, at 2 minutes 25 seconds, the screen suddenly goes black, then a cackling laugh rings out.

A hand‑drawn style end‑credit subtitle then appears:

"Dedicated to Lin Zhixia

—You made dad's world spin again!"

Yang Cheng stared at his phone in disbelief, only snapping back when the warm laughter at the end rang out: "WTF, truly Director Lin!!!"

Same.

In the comment section of this Douyin video, it blew up even more.

"WTF! The visual quality! Every frame could be a wallpaper!"

"Seeing the dedication to Nuan Nuan made me burst into tears!"

"Spring Festival box‑office champion locked in early!"

"Now! Immediately! Right now! I want to watch the whole film!"

"This is definitely a new benchmark for animated movies!"

"Nuan Nuan: Never expected my first‑birthday gift to be a movie for all humanity 【dog head】!"

"......"

In less than ten minutes, the #Robots preview# and #Nuan Nuan's gift# topics both stormed the trending list, and the trailer's view count surpassed 50 million.

Jiaozi, the director of Nezha, is actually Yang Yu.

He immediately posted a Weibo.

"After watching the Robots trailer, I silently dug out the final cut of Nezha 2 and re‑edited it 【I literally knelt】 @Lin Mo, Boss, your animated film makes me feel immense pressure! 【laugh‑cry】 #Robots preview#"

In the comment section of his Weibo, a huge crowd of netizens were heckling.

What? Director Jiaozi, don't be scared, we support you in taking down the boss and rising yourself!

Pinned as the hottest comment, even Yang Yu couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

【Jiaozi, what are you afraid of, why don't you dare to clash with Director Lin?】

At the same time.

On major foreign social platforms.

The Robots trailer also spread.

It seems Lin Mo is now an internationally renowned director.

We can't play favorites, can we?

Foreign fans who watched the trailer are just as eager as domestic fans!

"Director Lin's new work is stunning!"

"Wow... this film is a must‑watch!"

"Heavens, the visual storytelling is insane!"

"Dedication to my daughter... I'm not crying!"

"OMG, Lin, he's once again pushing his limits; I feel this film will be great!"

"......"

Hollywood Report: "Lin. Mo redefined the ceiling of animated films with a 2‑minute‑30‑second trailer!"

Disney's CEO also reposted the Robots trailer: "This is the future of animated movies!"

Pixar Animation Factory's CEO: "We may need to rethink how we make animation!"

And Cameron himself also shared the trailer, @‑ing Lin Mo's Facebook account: "From Speed and Passion to Robots, Lin once again proves he is the era's best storyteller!"

However.

Compared with these big‑shots' statements.

The hottest foreign comment was pinned to the trending list and even reposted domestically.

Even Lin Mo himself saw it.

It was a fan from Mi Guo who called himself a loyal Lin Mo fan and also a father.

"As a father, hearing the final dedication to his daughter reminded me of the moment I first held my own daughter. Thank you, Director Lin, for reminding us what truly matters!"

Of course.

Flattering words naturally also came from domestic peers.

For example, Lao Mouzi said in an interview: "When I saw this trailer, I felt us old guys should retire!"

And Chen Daoming laughed, "Director Lin is the man leading Huaguo cinema to its peak; I've become his fan!"

Since the Robots trailer was released.

A worldwide storm erupted.

So far, no fewer than 35 countries have contacted Morning Light Media, reached out to Liu Qin, and queued for cooperation.

North American AMC chains immediately offered a guaranteed‑minimum deal for 8,000 screens.

Executives of major film companies rushed to Mo Du for negotiations.

As for Lin Mo…

Now that the movie's finished, what can he do?

He stays at home as a stay‑at‑home dad.

The New Year is almost here, and this year I'm taking Xiao Jiahuo back to my hometown.

The scene shifts to the living room.

"ba... ba..."

We see Nuan Nuan riding on dad's back, her little hand patting his shoulder.

"Commander Nuan Nuan, WALL·E is ready to launch~" Lin Mo mimics a robot voice, slowly crawling forward.

Re Ba raises her phone to record, laughing and crying: "Honey, what do you think netizens would react if they saw you like this~"

"What reaction? Of course they'd see my overflowing fatherly love!"

Lin Mo gets up and lifts Xiao Jiahuo in one arm.

Nuan Nuan, excited, waves her arms and legs, her tiny hands and feet staring.
