Chapter 87: Flying to Yanjing, the

~8 min read 1,478 words

In the coming days.

Lin Mo stayed on the set of Eternal Love: Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms.

Life was very leisurely.

Filming didn't require him to worry.

Luo Kai's directing skills were still pretty good.

Re Ba, ah.

As soon as she finished filming, she ran to Lin Mo's side.

The other actors in the crew had also grown accustomed to it.

These two didn't avoid it at all.

They flung dog food in front of so many people.

Of course.

And nobody dared to say anything.

"Ay ya, you two have had enough, flinging dog food every day here, have you considered the feelings of us single dogs?" Yang Mi pulled Re Ba's hand and pretended to complain.

Hearing that.

Lin Mo laughed and teased: "Not convinced? Then go find someone yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi flared up, rolled her eyes, and said: "Hmph, I'm not worried about not finding a partner; I just can't be bothered—my admirers could be filmed all the way to France!"

Lin Mo chimed in with a smile: "Yo, you even borrowed a line from Star Ye's movie—watch out, he might sue you!"

Re Ba, standing aside, had already been laughing so hard she could barely keep her mouth shut, tightly gripping Lin Mo's arm, and still didn't forget to cheer Yang Mi on: "Sis Mi, you gotta seize the moment—good men can't be people!"

Finally.

Yang Mi was defeated, helplessly shaking her head and muttering: "I really can't argue with you two; can't I just leave?"

Having said that, she slinked away from the scene, leaving behind a string of clear laughter.

Flinging dog food is flinging dog food.

But the filming progress wasn't delayed at all.

Moreover.

Lin Mo also often gave Re Ba private coaching.

This also helped her acting improve further.

After all, anyone capable of being a director surely has non‑ordinary acting skills.

That day, in the afternoon, there were no scenes for Re Ba.

The two were at the hotel.

They had tossed and turned all night the previous evening and were still sleeping now.

Suddenly.

Lin Mo's phone rang.

He answered the call extremely reluctantly.

He didn't even check who was calling.

"Hello!"

"Hey, little brother, you're not still asleep, are you?"

On the other end of the phone came Jiang Dao's signature smoky, bass‑laden voice.

"Jiang Dao!"

Lin Mo shook off his drowsiness, responded, and while speaking glanced at Re Ba, who still had her arm hooked around his; she mumbled sleepily: "Mo Ge, who is it?"

Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone.

Jiang Wen clearly heard the girl's voice and couldn't resist teasing: "Haha, little brother, take it easy—your body is the capital of revolution!"

Lin Mo coughed embarrassedly twice and quietly told Re Ba it was Jiang Dao.

Upon hearing that, Re Ba also perked up.

Lin Mo said into the phone: "Jiang Dao, what do you need? Missed me?"

Saying that, he got up, walked to the balcony to get some fresh air, and laughed brightly.

"Yeah, I've missed you so much, I've missed your script…" Jiang Dao also laughed.

All right.

He then said that Director Jiang Wen had called to discuss what.

Turns out she was urging him to come.

Since the last time, after Lin Mo told Jiang Wen the story of Let the Bullets Fly.

He,

had long been eager to film it.

Even after returning, he specially went to Baidu to look up that history.

"Take a look—when are you coming to Yanjing? Let's chat in detail!"

"Wait a few days, don't rush!"

"Little brother, you may not be in a hurry, but older brother feels like a cat's scratching, utterly itchy!"

"......"

Jiang Dao urged him to go to Yanjing, to discuss the script thoroughly and get moving!

After exchanging a few words, Lin Mo finally hung up.

Turning around, he saw Re Ba already at the balcony, having wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, and she asked curiously: "Mo Ge, what did Jiang Dao say?"

Lin Mo briefly explained the situation, then teased her: "How about it, I'll be the director, and Jiang Dao will be my male lead—awesome, right?"

Re Ba heard it, her expression slightly changed, she held him tighter, her voice tinged with a bit of emotion: "You're not leaving again, are you..."

Lin Mo quickly comforted: "Don't worry, I'll stay with you a while longer—filming a movie isn't as important as you!" He said, pinching her cheek.

Hearing that, Re Ba's eyes curved into crescents, she lightly tapped him: "You better keep your word!"

"Hungry? Come on, let's go eat!"

"Mm-hmm, okay!"

They stayed another roughly ten days on the set of Eternal Love.

Only then did Lin Mo prepare to leave.

Although, Re Ba was a bit reluctant.

But she also knew.

She couldn't hold back Mo Ge.

"My film is being shot at Hengdian; once it's confirmed, by then your scenes here will be about done too—see you at Hengdian!" Lin Mo comforted her.

"Really? That's great!"

Upon hearing Mo Ge's new film was set to shoot at Hengdian, Re Ba instantly became happy.

Flying from Dian Sheng to Yanjing.

It takes about four hours.

Upon arriving in Yanjing, it was already past 5 p. m.

Just stepped out of the airport.

And saw Jiang Dao waving at him.

Although.

Jiang Dao wore sunglasses and a hat, but the contour of his face was still quite recognizable.

"Old brother, you finally came!" Jiang Dao stepped forward and gave him a firm hug, his laugh hearty.

"Old brother, your deadly nonstop calls—if I didn't come again, I'd fear you'd fly straight to Dian Sheng to find me!" Lin Mo replied with a laugh.

"Hahaha, don't even say that—if you didn't come, I really was preparing to go to Dian Sheng to find you!" Jiang Wen laughed as he said.

"Come on, let me first take you to put down your luggage!" Jiang Dao said, pulling Lin Mo toward the car.

"Where to? Not the hotel?" Lin Mo asked curiously.

"What hotel? Once you're in Yanjing, just follow my arrangements!" Jiang Dao gave a mysterious smile and had the assistant drive straight to the destination.

In the car.

Jiang Wen's assistant was driving.

In the back seat, the two chatted.

The car stopped at the entrance of an old-fashioned hutong; Jiang Dao led Lin Mo through the narrow yet flavorful lane to his courtyard house.

Red walls, gray tiles, wooden door with copper rings; the courtyard shaded by green trees, fragrant flowers wafting, a fresh natural aura greeted them.

"How about it, this place isn't bad, huh?" Jiang Dao asked proudly.

"Exactly like on TV!" Lin Mo praised, looking around.

Jiang Dao led Lin Mo to tour the whole courtyard; finally they sat in the main room, brewed a pot of good tea, and began discussing business.

"Old brother, the script? Hurry up and take it out so I can see—I've been waiting anxiously!" Jiang Dao said eagerly.

Lin Mo laughed as he pulled the script from his suitcase and handed it to Jiang Dao.

Jiang Dao took the script and immediately buried himself in reading it.

As for Lin Mo,

he didn't disturb him, instead strolling around the courtyard himself.

"Good!"

"This script, these lines—awesome!"

After finishing, Jiang Dao praised it nonstop, then hurriedly grabbed Lin Mo's hand and said, "Let's get started right away! Tell me what you need, I'll arrange it. As for the cast, who are you planning to invite?"

"I want to invite Fa Ge and Ge You Lao Shi." Lin Mo stated his plan.

Upon hearing it was those two,

Jiang Wen froze for a moment: "You're planning to invite them..."

"What, old brother, is there difficulty?" Lin Mo asked.

"It's not that it's difficult; inviting one is fine, but inviting both..." Jiang Wen said, a bit torn.

"In that case, why not try an emotional offensive, play a little scheming sincerity—write a letter to Fa Ge saying that the role you have in mind can only be played by him, it's practically tailor-made for him, then add fuel by saying Ge You Lao Shi is already eagerly hoping to act opposite him..."

Upon hearing that, Jiang Dao's eyes lit up: "Hey, that trick is brilliant! What about the letter to Ge You?"

"By the same token, for Ge You Lao Shi you'd say that Fa Ge has privately mentioned to me many times that he most wants to collaborate with you, Teacher Ge, then stir up the emotions, saying this film for them isn't just work but a peak artistic dialogue—missing this chance, they'd probably regret it for life."

Jiang Dao slapped my shoulder and laughed loudly: "Haha, you little brat, this move is awesome!"

The two exchanged a smile.

Just like that.

A scheming plot was born!
