After the news of Lin Mo, Cameron, and Steven Spielberg's collaboration spread,
it can be said that it caused a massive worldwide sensation.
For example, the CEO of Warner Bros., after hearing the news from his secretary, leapt straight out of his chair: "Holyshit!"
The Boss of Universal Pictures likewise learned the news: "What monster movie are they going to make?"
On the home front.
Prominent major film, TV, and entertainment companies naturally got the news immediately.
For example, Han Canping.
He was in a meeting, and after it ended his assistant came in and told him about it. Good guy, Han Canping was dumbfounded and immediately rushed to call Lin Mo.
Upon confirming it was real, he couldn't help but say, "You're still awesome, kid!"
Internet transmission is already rapid nowadays.
The news spread like a virus, reaching the whole world in just a few hours.
On Weibo, the #ThreeGreatDirectorsTeamUp# topic has surpassed 1 billion reads, causing the servers to crash for half an hour.
The overseas web was even more extreme: Twitter went down, Cameron's tweet was retweeted over 20 million times, liked by over a hundred million, with comments in all languages, and netizens worldwide were spamming the feed.
"OMG! Is this going to be the greatest movie ever?"
"Cameron + Steven Spielberg + Lin Mo? I'm literally kneeling!"
"As a film major, I'm so thrilled I feel like streaking!"
"Chinese netizens sent congratulations: Director Lin is awesome!"
"American netizens say they agree: Lin. M!"
"Bangzi Country netizens: These three directors are world‑class geniuses, ssi‑mi‑da!"
"Never mind, this movie is a must‑see; if you don't watch it, you're not a human!"
"Aliens say they also want to see it!"
"The galaxy sent congratulations!"
"The whole universe is waiting for this film!"
"Stop, stop, stop; if we keep chatting we'll break the dimensional wall!"
On the other side.
At the Shanghai Theatre Academy, Song Wanwan's reaction to the news was just like everyone else's.
Huh?
My brother and Cameron, Spielberg…
The three of them are teaming up to make a movie!
Oh my god!!!
Song Wanwan is Lin Mo's sister, and this news was no secret at the Shanghai Theatre Academy—everyone knew.
Thus, in class, her classmates swarmed around after seeing the news, asking nonstop in a clamor.
"My god, Director Lin is teaming up with Cameron and Steven Spielberg!!!"
"Wanwan, can you get us a signed autograph?"
"Wanwan, you have to act a role!"
"Wanwan...."
Good guy!
Song Wanwan, her head pounding from the commotion, said, "Stop, stop, stop! Let me catch my breath first..."
Suddenly, a soft cough sounded at the classroom door, and Acting teacher Liu stood there, deadpan: "The class bell has been ringing for three minutes; what are you doing?"
The classmates instantly scattered like startled birds, yet their gazes kept drifting toward Song Wanwan.
Teacher Liu stepped up to the podium, gave Song Wanwan a meaningful glance, then whispered, "Wanwan, if it's convenient… could you also get a signature for the teacher? Preferably a group‑photo autograph of the three directors…"
The entire class was momentarily stunned, then erupted into loud laughter.
"Hahaha! Teacher Liu, you're way too genuine!"
"Teacher, does this count as using your authority for personal gain?"
"Teacher Liu's star‑chasing scene"
Song Wanwan was left with a helpless laugh‑and‑cry expression.
She thought, 'Please have mercy on me, Teacher.'
Dawei.
He's still the Dawei we're familiar with.
The YouTube movie blogger with tens of millions of subscribers.
Indeed, his followers have surged again!
"WHAT'S UP EVERYBODY! This is your old friend Dawei!"
In front of the camera, Dawei sports a wild mess of blond hair, eyes bulging like copper bells, waving a tablet frantically.
Foreigners, after all, love to dabble in the abstract.
"I was scrolling the news while in the bathroom, and guess what? My phone fell straight into the toilet!" Dawei made an exaggerated dive, "Just like this—splash! But I don't give a damn! Because! Lin! Cameron! Steven Spielberg! are going to collaborate!"
He abruptly produced a whiteboard from behind, with red marker scrawled 'The Greatest Director Supergroup in History', plus three crooked cartoon heads.
"Look at this lineup!" Dawei frantically tapped the whiteboard with a marker, "Cameron, the madman behind Avatar! Spielberg, the director of Jurassic Park, and my idol Lin, a genuine genius!!!"
As he spoke, he suddenly dropped to one knee, hands pressed together: "God, if you could let me work on the set… "
From outside the camera, the cameraman's complaint came: "You said last week you were quitting Coke to chase after Jenny from the neighboring department!"
"S!" Dawei jumped up and threw a pillow at the outside of the camera, "This time I'm serious!"
Next, Dawei became serious: "I'm really looking forward to this movie; I dare say, on the day it premieres, the number of people lining up at cinema doors worldwide could circle the Earth three times!"
At the end of the video, Dawei suddenly pulled out a piggy bank from under the table and smashed it hard on the ground: "See that! I'm starting to save money from now on! I'll definitely watch the IMAX premiere! No one can stop me!"
After Dawei's video was posted, it shot to the top of YouTube's trending list in just two hours, with views breaking 5 million.
The comment section was instantly overrun by netizens from around the world:
"Brother, I feel you!"
"That piggy bank smash was so real!"
"I've already set up a tent at the cinema entrance!"
"Who wants to bet with me? This movie will definitely break all box office records!"
"For this movie, I've decided to forgive my cheating ex-girlfriend!"
"My grandpa said this is the movie he's been looking forward to most in his life!"
"I never said that!!!"
"Who wants to streak naked in celebration? I'm the first to sign up!"
Soon, major internet celebrity streamers also joined the frenzy.
Jiakgang Ge, known for his exaggerated reactions, posted a video doing a backflip in his own pool: "I don't care what this movie is about! Even if it's just three old men playing mahjong, I'll watch it!"
In short.
The collaboration between directors Lin Mo, Cameron, and Steven Spielberg sparked a great frenzy.
