Chapter 640: Cheng Long: The surprise you gave is too huge!

Over the next few days, Lin Mo took Cameron and Steven Spielberg around Mo Du.

They went to the Bund, stood by the Huangpujiang, and Cameron looked at the skyscrapers across the river, unable to help exclaiming: "Every time I come to Huaguo, the city's changes shock me."

Steven Spielberg was more interested in street snacks; he held a shengjian bun in his hand, took a bite, the juice almost splashed onto his clothes, and he quickly grabbed a napkin: "This thing is more dangerous than a hamburger, but delicious!"

Lin Mo smiled and handed him a wet wipe: "Slow down, you need to take a small bite first, suck up the soup, then eat."

Steven Spielberg imitated him, tried it, his eyes lit up: "Perfect!"

Cameron became increasingly skilled with chopsticks, even able to pick up a peanut, he raised his eyebrows at Steven Spielberg proudly: "See? That's what skill is!"

Steven Spielberg objected: "Give me a month, I'll definitely be stronger than you."

What they talked about most was still movies.

"So, do you have any ideas for the male lead?" Cameron asked, looking at the two.

Lin Mo and Steven Spielberg exchanged a glance and said in unison: "Jackie. Chan."

Cameron slapped his thigh: "I knew it! This role belongs to no one else but him!"

Lin Mo smiled and nodded: "Global fame, action scenes, comedic sense, and able to appeal to both Eastern and Western audiences—no one is more suitable than him."

That's right.

The film they three are collaborating on hasn't started shooting yet, and netizens worldwide don't know how much they're anticipating it.

Aside from Cheng Long, there really is no second choice for the male lead.

Long Shu is definitely the person with the highest global fame, and he can also appeal to both Eastern and Western audiences.

Steven Spielberg also said: "Moreover, Jackie at his age, playing a scientist wouldn't feel off; it fits the role perfectly."

Cameron pulled out his phone: "Should I give him a call now?"

Hearing that, Lin Mo laughed and waved his hand: "He's already on the plane!"

"Ah?"

Steven Spielberg and Cameron froze for a moment.

Immediately, Lin Mo explained to them: "Last night he already called me, knowing you two were here, knowing we three were discussing the script, he couldn't wait to fly over right away~"

After hearing Lin Mo's explanation, the two finally understood and nodded: "Oh, that's how it is."

Then Cameron looked at Lin Mo again: "Lin, you didn't directly tell Jackie that he's the male lead, did you?"

"No, this still needs your two's agreement, and such a surprise naturally has to be told to his face!" Lin Mo said with a smile.

Steven Spielberg burst out laughing: "I can already imagine the expression on Jackie's face!"

Lin Mo and Cameron also couldn't help laughing.

Meanwhile.

The flight from Xiang Jiang to Mo Du was about to arrive.

Cheng Long was already a bit impatient.

Two days ago, after learning that Cameron and Steven Spielberg had come to Huaguo to find Lin Mo, he had been thinking about coming over.

Because something delayed him.

Do we even need to say why he flew over?

He definitely wants to play the male lead!

Just kidding, what kind of concept is a movie collaboration between these three guys?

Even Cheng Long himself dare not imagine it.

In the teahouse.

Lin Mo, Cameron, and Steven Spielberg were seated around a redwood table.

The three were discussing some details of the script.

Suddenly, Lin Mo's phone rang.

He pulled it out and saw the screen showing "Long Shu"; he instantly smiled, then looked at the two: "Jackie's here!"

Cameron and Steven Spielberg exchanged a glance, both showing an understanding smile.

Lin Mo answered the call; before he could speak, the other side came Cheng Long's voice: "Mo Zai! I've arrived in Mo Du! Where are you?"

"We're at the Qingya Xuan Chalu teahouse near Yuyuan Garden, upstairs private room." Lin Mo said with a smile, "Long Shu, just come straight over."

"Okay! I'll be right there!" Cheng Long said and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Less than twenty minutes later, hurried footsteps sounded from the teahouse stairs.

The curtain lifted, and Cheng Long strode in energized. He wore a dark blue Chinese stand-collar coat, sunglasses; as soon as he entered, he took off his glasses, revealing a smile.

"James! Steven!" Cheng Long opened his arms, first warmly hugging Cameron and Steven Spielberg: "Long time no see!"

Then he put an arm around Lin Mo's shoulders and shook him vigorously: "Mo Zai, I've missed you to death!"

Lin Mo smiled.

Cheng Long hurriedly pulled out a chair and sat down: "I heard you're working on a big project? Is the script set?"

Lin Mo poured him tea, speaking leisurely: "The script outline is basically done."

"Tell me quickly!" Cheng Long leaned forward eagerly, like a child waiting to hear a story.

Then Lin Mo briefly explained the setting of Eastern and Western deities awakening, with a human scientist as the bridge.

The more Cheng Long listened, the wider his eyes grew; he couldn't help slamming the table: "Awesome! This idea is brilliant!"

He rubbed his hands, eyes scanning the three faces: "Um... has the male lead been decided?"

Cameron and Steven Spielberg both looked at Lin Mo, the corners of their mouths hinting at a mysterious smile. Lin Mo feigned contemplation: "Hmm... the male lead..."

Cheng Long stared at him nervously, his fingers unconsciously tapping the tabletop.

Lin Mo suddenly laughed, pointed at Cheng Long: "Far in the heavens, near at hand!"

"Really?!" Cheng Long jumped up, his chair knocked over with a bang.

Originally, Cheng Long was thinking, he definitely couldn't play the male lead.

After all, he's not young anymore; if the male lead role that Mo Zai and them are playing is for a young person, how could he play it?

But still, even if he can't play the male lead, he at least wants to get a decent role.

Although Brother Cheng Long rarely plays supporting roles.

But...

This depends on the person, and it depends on the movie.

Steven Spielberg smiled and gestured to him: "Jackie, calm down, calm down."

Cheng Long only then realized his gaffe, quickly helped up the chair and sat down, but the excitement on his face couldn't be hidden: "You guys aren't joking? Really let me play?"

Cameron nodded solemnly: "Besides you, we can't think of a second choice."

"Global fame, action scenes, comedic sense, and still able to appeal to both Eastern and Western audiences." Lin Mo counted on his fingers, "Long Shu, besides finding you, could we find someone else for this role?"

Hearing this, Brother Cheng Long was very excited.

Immediately, he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself: "You don't know, when I heard you three were going to collaborate, I thought I must participate no matter what." He shook his head, "I never expected..."

Steven Spielberg smiled and said: "How about it, are you surprised?"

"This surprise is too great!"
