Chapter 663: Nuan Nuan: Do you know why the dinosaurs went extinct?
In the afternoon, the doorbell at Lin Mo's house rang.
Re Ba opened the door and saw Song Wanwan standing at the entrance with big and small bags, her face showing a tired yet excited smile.
"Sister-in-law! My new show wrapped!" Song Wanwan shoved the gifts into Re Ba's hands, "Nuan Nuan bought a new dress, and there's tea for older brother."
Lin Mo walked over, glanced at her, and said, "You've gotten thin."
"Filming, you know," Song Wanwan slumped on the sofa, "Chasing Light is finally done shooting—I'm exhausted."
Re Ba poured her a cup of water and asked, "How did it go?"
"Not bad!" Song Wanwan's eyes lit up, "This time I handled everything myself, from script to shooting, without asking my brother for help!"
Lin Mo nodded lightly: "Yeah, there's progress."
The three were chatting when Song Wanwan suddenly remembered: "Right, where's Nuan Nuan? I haven't seen my eldest niece in ages—I miss her!"
"She's at school," Re Ba glanced at the time, "almost time to pick her up."
Song Wanwan jumped up immediately: "I'll go pick her up! Give her a surprise!"
"Okay!"
After school, at the gate of Mo Du International Elementary School.
Nuan Nuan was walking out with her classmates and instantly spotted Song Wanwan, the most conspicuous person in the crowd.
"Auntie!" Nuan Nuan lunged over happily, "How come you're here?"
Song Wanwan scooped her up and spun her around: "Did you miss me, Auntie?"
"I did!" Nuan Nuan clung to her neck, "Auntie, I have a secret—I'm going to make an animated film!"
The surrounding parents picking up their kids couldn't help but look over; someone recognized Song Wanwan: "Isn't that the new director Song Wanwan?"
Because of Lin Mo's connection, Song Wanwan's fame is still relatively high—her first work won several awards, so being recognized is normal.
Moreover...
Families who can afford Mo Du International Elementary School are either rich or noble; they naturally know Director Lin's daughter also studies here, and often see Re Ba or Lin Mo personally picking her up.
Plus, the recent show 'And a Day with Dad' went viral worldwide, making Nuan Nuan's little face highly recognizable.
"Nuan Nuan is making a movie? What kind of movie?"
Song Wanwan smiled, pinching Nuan Nuan's cheek: "That's impressive! Want Auntie to visit the set sometime?"
"Yes!" Nuan Nuan flailed excitedly, "I'll show Auntie my 3D model—it looks just like me!"
Lin Mo stepped out of the car, seeing the two clinging together, he couldn't help but smile: "Let's go, we can talk in the car."
In the car, Nuan Nuan chattered nonstop: "Dad, the teacher praised my summer homework today!"
"Auntie, my classmate Xiaoyu said she's seen your movie!"
"Dad, can you bring strawberry cake for snack tomorrow?"
"......"
Song Wanwan laughed outright: "You little chatterbox, who do you take after?"
Nuan Nuan declared confidently: "After Dad! When Dad films, he also talks a lot!"
Lin Mo: "......"
Song Wanwan burst out laughing: "Your dad's just scolding people—can't be the same!"
Back home, Nuan Nuan tugged Song Wanwan around the house: "Auntie, look! This is the room those foreign uncles designed for me!"
All that could be seen was the children's room stuffed with various animation merchandise, and the wall hung with concept art of The Curious Question House.
Song Wanwan looked at Lin Mo in surprise: "Brother, you really let Nuan Nuan do voice acting?"
"If she likes it, let her try." Lin Mo said calmly.
Don't let her young age fool you—her English proficiency is already widespread.
Come on, given Lin Mo's status now and the school Nuan Nuan attends, dubbing an animated film is a sure thing.
At dinner, Nuan Nuan clung to her bowl, chattering about school fun, while Song Wanwan served her vegetables and laughed: "Take it slow, don't choke."
"Auntie," Nuan Nuan suddenly lowered her voice mysteriously, "Do you know why the dinosaurs went extinct?"
Song Wanwan played along: "Why?"
"Because they don't do homework!" Nuan Nuan said solemnly, "The teacher said not doing homework gets you eliminated!"
The whole family was amused by this bizarre train of thought.
Re Ba rubbed her daughter's little head: "What kind of twisted logic is this?"
Nuan Nuan declared firmly: "It's not twisted logic—it's science!"
Song Wanwan laughed as she told Lin Mo: "Brother, I think Nuan Nuan tells stories better than I do—next film, let's have her as the screenwriter."
Nuan Nuan immediately raised her hand: "I want to write a story about a princess eating strawberries!"
"Okay, okay," Song Wanwan scooped her a spoonful of egg custard, "Eat first, then after we finish I'll help you write the script."
Outside the window the moon was just right, and inside the house laughter and chatter continued nonstop.
One month later, Pixar Animation Studio's official Twitter suddenly posted a major update: "After multiple revisions and gaining Director Lin Mo's approval, our new animated film The Curious Question House is officially in production! Special thanks to the talented little voice actor Nuan Nuan for the inspiration!"
The accompanying image is a concept poster: Nuan Nuan's cartoon likeness stands before a magic house covered in question marks, holding a strawberry-shaped fairy wand.
During that month.
The screenwriters of The Curious Question House sure went through a lot.
Lin Mo rejected their scripts five or six times in a row; after repeated revisions, it finally passed.
Soon this news spread worldwide.
Many moviegoers still remember Lin Mo's earlier animated film Robots—it was truly classic.
This time, he returned for his daughter; surely this film will be wonderful as well.
Really looking forward to it!
