Chapter 656: with translation of chapter title

~5 min read 961 words

Lin family.

Having just finished dinner, Lin Mo was in the yard playing with Xiao Jiahuo when his phone suddenly vibrated.

This was his private phone.

So only acquaintances knew his number.

He picked it up, stared for a moment, because the caller ID showed James Cameron.

"James, long time no see." Lin Mo answered the phone, his tone relaxed.

"Lin!" Cameron's cheerful voice came from the earpiece, "I just finished watching 'A Day with Dad,' and Nuan Nuan is absolutely adorable!"

Lin Mo chuckled lightly: "She's been asking a lot of questions lately; I can barely keep up."

"Hahaha, my granddaughter is the same!" Cameron laughed, "By the way, Lin, do you have any ideas for your new film?"

"Not for now." Lin Mo glanced at Nuan Nuan chasing butterflies in the garden, "I've been spending time with my daughter."

"I understand, I understand." Cameron paused, "Actually... I called this time for a special matter."

"Huh?"

"It's like this: Pixar watched the 'A Day with Dad' program and became very interested; they want to make an animated film with Nuan Nuan as the prototype." Cameron said excitedly, "Their CEO personally contacted me, hoping I could act as an intermediary."

Lin Mo frowned slightly: "What exactly is the plan?"

"The tentative title is 'The Curious Question House,' telling the fantastical adventure of a curious little girl." Cameron explained, "Pixar is willing to pay $30 million in copyright fees, plus 10% of global box office revenue."

This figure is astronomical in the animation film field.

"However, they want you to serve as the film's creative director, guiding character design and story structure..." Cameron added.

Lin Mo fell silent for a moment: "I need to think about it."

"Of course!" Cameron laughed, "But seriously, Lin, Nuan Nuan is so adorable; it would be a shame not to let the whole world know her."

After hanging up, Lin Mo walked to the garden.

Nuan Nuan was crouched beside the flowerbed, carefully observing a butterfly.

"Dad!" she waved excitedly, "The butterfly is drinking nectar!"

Lin Mo crouched down: "Nuan Nuan, if you were to be the protagonist of an animated film, would you be willing?"

Nuan Nuan blinked her big eyes: "Like 'Robots'?"

"Pretty much."

"Can I talk to small animals?" Nuan Nuan asked eagerly.

"Probably yes."

"Yay! Then I want to be!" Nuan Nuan jumped up, "I want to be friends with the little rabbit!"

Re Ba came out of the house: "What are you chatting about that makes you so happy?"

Lin Mo briefly explained Pixar's invitation.

Re Ba exclaimed in surprise: "$30 million plus a share? Pixar is really going all out!"

"Well, the condition is that I participate in the production."

Re Ba suddenly understood: "I said it before, $30 million for the child's image rights is exaggerated; it turns out they're after your creativity."

"What else?" Lin Mo said with a smile.

Pixar isn't stupid, after all.

A few days later, on Twitter.

Pixar's official account suddenly posted a major announcement:

"The new film 'The Curious Question House' (The. Wonderful. Why. House) has officially been greenlit, with Director Lin Mo serving as creative director, using his daughter Nuan Nuan as the prototype..."

As soon as the news came out, overseas networks exploded first!

"Lin Mo + Pixar? This combo is awesome! Can't wait to see the Little Princess on the big screen!"

"Pixar finally managed to get Lin Mo to do animation! This could be their most explosive animated film ever!!!"

"Just $30 million to use his daughter's image? Director Lin Mo's influence is terrifying!"

"Pixar is really sharp; they know Director Lin Mo's creativity is worth that price!"

"A Day with Dad isn't only popular domestically."

"It's also popular abroad; as mentioned before, the foreign version of Penguin Video, the click-through rate and discussion heat for 'A Day with Dad' are also extremely high."

"Everyone knows how fast the internet spreads."

"Here it is."

"Just a few minutes."

"Soon, domestic netizens were relaying this message back."

"It could hit the hot search in minutes!"

"Director Lin is going to make his daughter a global Top Stream! Nuan Nuan will peak right from her debut!"

"$30 million plus 10% share? Is Pixar treating Nuan Nuan as a box-office mascot?"

"Director Lin + Pixar, this combo is more anticipated than the Avengers!"

"!"

"Nuan Nuan: Sitting at home, the offers come from the sky."

Pixar made a big profit this time; Director Lin's creativity plus Nuan Nuan's cuteness, box office at least 2 billion USD starting point!

I want to see, I want to see!!!

Director Lin is finally coming out of seclusion, huh!

Pixar's officially announced news was like a bomb, instantly detonating the entire Entertainment Circle.

In Mo Du's star group.

Yang Mi: '@Re Ba, Nuan Nuan's current worth blows me away! 30 million USD!'

Huang Xiaoming: 'Director Lin's move this time is too slick, directly taking the kids to conquer Hollywood!'

Deng Chao: '@Lin Mo, Director Lin, can my family come later to do a cameo as a small animal? The pay is negotiable 【dog head】'

Xu Zheng: 'Director Lin has turned the parent-child Zongyi Magazine Magazine Magazine Magazine Magazine into an international project!'

Chen He: '@Lin Mo, bro, next time bring my daughter along 【pitiful】'

Here.

In the Lin family's villa, Nuan Nuan was lying on the sofa swinging her little feet while drawing, completely unaware that she had already become the focus of the global Entertainment Circle.

Re Ba kept swiping at the incessantly popping message notifications, laughing as she said to Lin Mo: 'Husband, I can't keep up with replying to these messages!'

Isn't that right?

Since Pixar officially announced this news, her phone has been ringing nonstop, she just can't stop it.
