Chapter 93: The master is tall, the magistrate is hard, and Master Huang is both tall and hard!
September 20.
"Let the Bullets Fly" officially started shooting!
However.
When Jiang Wen saw Lin Mo's film camera.
He was dumbfounded.
"Fuck!"
Jiang Wen let out a curse.
Jiang Wu and Chen Kun beside him were stunned.
Jiang Wu: How's my brother?
Chen Kun: What's wrong with Director Jiang?
The same.
Liu Jialing, Ge Daye, and Fa Ge were also drawn attention by Jiang Wen's shout.
All that could be seen.
Jiang Wen strode over in two steps, picked up that camera, and looked at Lin Mo in disbelief: "Old brother, are you planning to shoot a movie with this thing?"
"Yes, that's it!"
Lin Mo answered with a smile.
Jiang Wen laughed upon hearing it: "Old brother, you... you... this is really fucking bold! Nowadays, who still shoots with film? How expensive!"
With the advancement of technology.
Digital cameras have long become the mainstream choice for filmmaking.
Only back in the 80s and 90s did people use film to shoot movies.
As for why film isn't used to shoot movies nowadays.
The main reason is.
It's just one word!
Expensive!
Especially these actors nowadays.
Their acting skills.
If they used film to shoot, who knows how much money it would cost.
So.
That's also why Jiang Wen was so shocked when he saw Lin Mo take out a film camera.
Ge You, Zhou Runfa, and Liu Jialing also gathered around; they've seen the world, but seeing this film camera still amazed them.
"Holy shit, Director Lin, what's going on? Are we really shooting this film with film?" Ge Daye was dumbfounded.
Fa Ge and Liu Jialing are very familiar with this.
"Director Lin, you're also being bold, huh!" Liu Jialing couldn't help but say.
"I haven't seen this in years!" Fa Ge laughed.
Jiang Wu, Chen Kun, and Liao Fan also came over.
Good grief!
Seeing Director Lin preparing to shoot a movie with film, that's shocking!
Lin Mo waved his hand, relaxed: "What's there to fear? Money is just paper; spend it and earn it back. I just want to capture the feel of old movies, something digital cameras can't reproduce."
Other directors dare not use it, because of insufficient funds and the actors' poor acting skills.
But he is different.
Money, to Lin Mo now, is just a number.
"The Richest Man in Xihong City" box-office share has already been recorded.
Plus "Stolen Pen" is currently hot in theaters.
His net worth is now several tens of small targets.
As a director.
After having money, naturally he wants to shoot something he likes.
Of course.
The main reason is still the unique retro effect and visual feel of film, the expression of artistry and emotion.
These are things that digital cameras cannot produce.
"Awesome!"
Jiang Wen, Ge Daye, and others directly gave Lin Mo a thumbs up.
Of course.
They also know that Lin Mo indeed is not short of money!
Thus.
This news spread throughout the crew.
"Have you heard? Our Director Lin is preparing to shoot this film with film!"
"You're bragging, right?"
"Really, I'm not lying to you!"
"Holy crap, shooting with film, how high must the cost of this film be?"
"Director Lin, this is too bold!"

This news.
One tells ten, ten tells a hundred.
It quickly spread throughout the entire Hengdian!
From directors to actors.
【67> Everyone was shocked!
All are shocking!
Holy shit!
Director Lin Mo, this is too damn cool!
Shoot the movie with film reels!
The crew of 'Eternal Love: Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms'.
Yang Mi naturally also learned of this news.
She stared at Re Ba in amazement: "Your man is really something—shooting a movie with film reels, how lavish!"
Re Ba smiled sweetly, feeling proud: "That's how Mo Ge does things—he always has his own reasoning."
All of Hengdian boiled for several days because of Lin Mo's move; everyone said, "These days, to see a movie shot on film reels is amazing!"
Evening.
The first scene of 'Let the Bullets Fly' is about to start shooting!
Exactly, it's the most exciting Hongmen Banquet in the film!
This scene.
It's estimated to take several days to shoot!
And these are three movie emperors!
If it were any other actor, they'd probably drive Lin Mo crazy.
And today.
All the actors in the crew have arrived!
Originally, they had no scenes and could rest at the hotel.
But...
This is Jiang Wen, Fa Ge, and Ge Daye three acting powerhouses!
Anyone who can learn even a little from this.
That would benefit them for life!
Lin Mo also told Re Ba to come over and watch, to learn how the movie emperors act.
Also, Luo Kai and Yang Mi came too!
That evening, Luo Kai specially gave the crew a day off.
Because Yang Mi also wanted to bring her artists over to learn!
"My goodness, so many people have come today!" Re Ba, upon arriving on set, was stunned by the scene, her eyes wide as Yuan Yuan, her face full of disbelief.
"Silly girl, this is three movie emperors showing off their acting—everyone wants to come learn some experience~" Yang Mi laughed and patted her shoulder.
After saying that, Yang Mi turned to her own artists—Zhu Xudan, Gao Weilong, Huang Mengying—and said earnestly: "You all, open your eyes wide, prick up your ears, watch closely, learn a bit—such an opportunity doesn't come every day!"
Several people nodded repeatedly.
Here.
Around the round table, Lin Mo, Jiang Wen, Fa Ge, and Ge Daye sat snugly, eagerly discussing the upcoming Hongmen Banquet scene.
The air was filled with tension and anticipation intertwined, like a fine wine before the banquet, the more you savor, the richer it becomes.
Lin Mo prepared to give them a demonstration of how to perform this segment.
Because Lin Mo already had the image in his mind.
He acted it out directly, then let the three roughly know the direction.
Lin Mo suddenly stood up and, with a solemn air, said: "Master high!"
His tone was exactly like Master Zhang possessed, he clasped his hands, bowed slightly, and gave Jiang Wen a bandit-style salute.
Jiang Wen first froze, then replied with a grin: "County chief hard!"
Their exchange immediately heated up the atmosphere.
Next, Lin Mo's gaze shifted, locking onto Fa Ge—his eyes held both cunning and provocation.
He slapped his chest and shouted loudly: "Old Master Huang is tall and hard!"
As he spoke, he struck a pose of utter arrogance, making Fa Ge double over with laughter, his laughs coming in waves.
Lin Mo's move was simple and crude but especially effective.
He needed no deep theory, no professional jargon—just jump right in and act, so the actors could grasp it at a glance and learn it instantly.
Just like when we watch Star Ye shoot films—he first does a run-through himself, and the actors follow his lead, yielding fantastic results.
Every move and glance of Lin Mo's was pure acting! Jiang Wen, Fa Ge, and Ge Daye instantly grasped the essentials of this scene.
"We need to bring out that subtle tension, maintaining our respective positions while hiding hidden sharpness." Lin Mo said while pacing around the round table, explaining to the three.
Ge Daye then added playfully: "Director Lin, your acting is even more flavorful than Jiang Wen's portrayal of Master Zhang!"
"You're trying to stir up trouble between me and Lin Mo!" Jiang Wen, upon hearing this, grew unhappy and grabbed Ge Daye's throat with the force of a hawk catching a chick.
"Hahaha!"
Now Lin Mo and Fa Ge couldn't hold back either, bursting into laughter; laughter filled the space around the round table, the atmosphere lively beyond measure.
For this scene.
Lin Mo tore down the set.
They specially built a circular track.
No, this isn't.
On the set, three Cameras were pointed at them, and each Camera had five people operating it.
The difficulty of this scene is not ordinary.
However.
Lin Mo didn't panic in the slightest.
After all, these three's acting is beyond reproach.
"Lights, camera ready!"
"The first scene, first act of 'Let the Bullets Fly'!"
"Action!"
