Chapter 614

Well then.

These scenes were all shot by Chen Zhong and Luo Kai; Lin Mo was just trying to take it easy.

But...

But...

Long Shu brought Xie Tingfeng over, and Brother Feng even said he wanted to try directing and learn from him—we definitely have to give him face.

So he personally went on set and filmed a few takes to give him a demonstration.

"Cut!" Lin Mo happily took off his headphones, then turned to Xie Tingfeng and asked, "Brother Feng, how do you think this take is?"

At that moment, Xie Tingfeng was still immersed in the shocking scene he had just filmed; hearing Lin Mo's comment, he snapped back: "Ah, amazing! Absolutely amazing! Director Lin, how did you set up the camera for that side‑by‑side car drift shot you just filmed?"

Xie Tingfeng's ambition to become a director wasn't something that happened overnight; he had been preparing for a long time, just never found the right script. For something this professional, of course he understands it.

Just kidding.

Him becoming a director isn't just a casual hobby.

Lin Mo casually picked up the storyboard, pointed at the diagram, and said, "Here we used three cameras shooting simultaneously, one positioned..."

At that moment, Cheng Long laughed and chimed in: "Hey, you two shouldn't just talk about movies—are you hungry? It's almost six; let's go eat, and you can keep chatting while we eat."

Hearing that, Lin Mo glanced at his watch, smiled, and nodded: "Sure!"

Then he turned to Chen Xing and Luo Zhong to give them instructions.

This is Xiang Jiang, after all.

With these two genuine Xiang Jiang locals around, there's no need for Lin Mo to worry about meals at all.

Meanwhile, online...

Cheng Long and Xie Tingfeng appeared on the set of Fast and Furious 3, sparking heated discussion among netizens.

"Holy crap! Is Brother Feng really going to switch careers and become a director? That's a huge crossover!"

"From Chef Xie to Singer Xie to Actor Xie to Director Xie… is Brother Feng trying to collect every profession in the entertainment industry?"

"Xie Tingfeng: A chef who can't direct isn't a good singer—or a dog head."

"Ah, you're not really going to become a director, are you?"

"Brother Feng isn't he supposed to be holding a concert? Does anyone have tickets for his June 11th Red Pavilion concert?"

The comment section is buzzing with heated debate.

As locals of Xiang Jiang,

They saw the news and weren't surprised at all, even saying that Xie Tingfeng can do anything—his cooking is already impressive.

Of course, netizens have also listed Xie Tingfeng's entire career history.

Xie Tingfeng's career history.

Age 20: I'm a singer.

Age 30: I'm an actor.

Age 40: I'm a chef.

Age 50: I'm a director.

Age 60: What new profession can I unlock next?

This question has sparked wild discussion online.

Over here.

The Longjing Xuan Restaurant on the Victoria Harbour waterfront.

Xie Tingfeng specifically booked a window‑side private room; the huge floor‑to‑ceiling windows frame the Victoria Harbour night sky, with glittering neon skyscrapers reflected on the water—so beautiful it takes your breath away.

"Director Lin, this restaurant's roast goose is a Xiang Jiang specialty," Xie Tingfeng enthused, "and their lobster rice is absolutely worth a try."

Cheng Long eagerly grabbed his chopsticks, picked up a piece of honey‑glazed barbecue pork, and smiled contentedly: "Not bad—still the same old flavor!"

Obviously, Long Shu and his gang often come here to eat.

Lin Mo raised his wine glass with a smile: "Thanks for the treat, Brother Feng!"

Hearing that, Xie Tingfeng quickly stood up: "Director Lin, whatever you said, it's an honor to treat you to a meal..."

Mainly because he genuinely wants to take Lin Mo as his mentor.

The three chatted while eating, naturally about movies; Cheng Long patted Xie Tingfeng on the shoulder and said, "Actually, directing isn't as hard as you think—it's pretty simple."

Everyone, don't forget that Cheng Long himself is also a director.

When they first broke into Hollywood, the directors there had a shooting style and philosophy clearly different from Cheng Long's; later, Cheng Long personally explained everything to them, and once they understood, they were able to shoot classics like Rush Hour.

As they were chatting, the private room door suddenly swung open and a familiar figure walked in.

Liu Dehua, Hua Ge.

He was wearing a casual suit, his signature gentle smile on his face.

"Hua Ge!" Xie Tingfeng immediately rose to greet him.

Likewise, Lin Mo stood up and greeted Hua Ge: "Hua Ge, long time no see!"

He and Hua Ge are also very close.

"Sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way," Liu Dehua apologized, his gaze landing on Lin Mo, then he smiled and extended his hand: "Director Lin, you're now famous worldwide!"

Afterwards, Liu Dehua also nodded at Cheng Long, smiling and saying hello.

Earlier, Xie Tingfeng had told Lin Mo that Hua Ge would come later as well.

Actually, Lin Mo had said he'd wait for Hua Ge to arrive before they all ate together.

But Xie Tingfeng said it wasn't necessary, and Hua Ge told them to go ahead and eat first.

After Lin Mo and Liu Dehua exchanged brief pleasantries and the four took their seats, Xie Tingfeng personally poured each person a glass of red wine: "It's rare for us all to be together—I'll toast everyone first."

After three rounds of drinks, the conversation naturally turned to movies.

Liu Dehua also couldn't help but sigh: "Director Lin, the movie 'Robots' really opened my eyes; I didn't expect that our Chinese-language animation film could also become global, truly astonishing."

Xie Tingfeng and Cheng Long also nodded seriously after hearing that.

Especially Cheng Long, he felt deeply: "We used to talk about what to do with Chinese-language film when our generation of filmmakers grew old; I never expected a genius to appear so quickly, Chinese-language film crushing Hollywood—I never dreamed I would live to see this day!"

As people age, they just want to reminisce about the past; Cheng Long and Hua Ge began talking about their generation's obsession with Hollywood.

After listening seriously to their sentiments, Lin Mo said: "Uncle Long, Brother Hua, it's actually because of your generation's perseverance and pioneering that a solid foundation has been laid for Chinese-language film."

He raised his glass: "So this toast is for you, for letting the world see the possibility of Chinese-language film."

Xie Tingfeng also quickly raised his glass.

The four clinked glasses, the atmosphere grew even more lively; Liu Dehua suddenly thought of something, smiling as he looked at Xie Tingfeng and asked: "Feng Zai, how's the preparation for your concert going?"
