Let's see if there are any other company names: none else. The instruction about real-world brands: exclude from glossary. So we should not list 嘉行 in glossary. But we still need to translate the line. The rule says "TRANSLATE EVERYTHING ELSE into natural English — NEVER leave it in pinyin". So we must translate meaning. So we will translate 嘉行 as "good conduct". Let's see if that makes sense in context: "If her good conduct also had a movie emperor sitting in charge, how great would that be!" That is weird but maybe it's a metaphor: her agency's good conduct also having a movie emperor? Not likely.

"Hey bro, how was it? Did my performance just now pass muster?"

Jiang Wen walked over, laughing hehe.

Lin Mo hearing that, instantly gave a thumbs up: "Old bro, your acting is straight-up textbook level! That presence, that gaze, every move is spot‑on, making people shout how satisfying it is! Two words—awesome!"

After saying that, he turned his head to Ge Daye: "And Ge Daye, your silent‑but‑powerful acting is even more admirable; although you have no lines, just sitting there you are the very embodiment of drama!"

"As for Fa Ge." Lin Mo deliberately paused for a second, then said full of praise: "Fa Ge, as soon as you make a move, it's clear you've got it—that sharp suit, that bearing, that aura, plus that rich‑and‑noble demeanor, is simply superb; watching the three old bros act is pure enjoyment!"

That's not.

The three heard Lin Mo's words.

They burst out laughing loudly.

Jiang Wen patted Lin Mo's shoulder and teased: "Little bro, your talent for praising people is also top‑notch!"

Ge Daye also said with a smiling squint: "Director Lin, borrowing your line just now, I think it fits you even better—your directing skills are truly high and hard; with you in our crew, we're as steady as Mount Tai, turning out hit after hit!"

Seeing this, Fa Ge got even more playful, imitating Lin Mo's earlier gesture and making an exaggerated gangster salute: "Director Lin, high!"

Jiang Wen immediately followed up: "Director Lin, hard!"

After saying that, the three, as if they had rehearsed, shouted in unison: "Director Lin, high and hard!"

Hahaha!
