Chapter 97: Feng Dao's Heavenly Offering—Sure to Be a Great Film!

"Ge Daye, Brother Jiang, your acting is simply superb! I give you a perfect score!" Lin Mo laughed, giving both a thumbs‑up, his face full of admiration.

Jiang Wen laughed heartily, waved his hand: "Oh, no, no, you've already set an example for us. If I were to perform poorly again, it would truly be a joke. Where would this old face go, after all I've also won a few Best Actor awards!"

Ge Daye, standing nearby, replied cheerfully: "Director Lin, this line is truly outstanding—plain yet profound!"

He thought for a moment, then shook his head: "But seriously, Director Lin, the metaphors in this plot and the meaning behind the lines make my heart pound like a drum; it's a bit nauseating!"

The gentry's money is returned in full, while the commoners' money is split three to seven.

Snort snort...

Fa Ge also nodded in agreement: "Although I didn't grasp some of those metaphors, I have to say, your nerve is huge! To write like that, and to film it—impressive!"

Lin Mo, seeing this, waved his hand: "Brothers, don't overthink it; I'm just telling a story of bandits fighting the gentry for fun."

"Alright, alright, whatever you say is what it is!"

"Heh!"

The script of "Let the Bullets Fly",

Those who get it, get it.

Those who don't, better not...

... except for this scene.

Jiang Wen still has another scene to shoot.

The setting: outside the courtroom.

Jiang Wen, in his signature outfit, strides out of frame.

The bit‑part extras, already following the script, kneel uniformly; as Jiang Wen approaches, they shout in unison: "Lord of the Blue Sky!"

Jiang Wen, wearing sunglasses, raises his prop gun and fires toward the sky; the crisp gunshot echoes across the open Goose City street.

"Stand up, no kneeling!" Jiang Wen's voice is firm and powerful.

"The emperor is gone; no one deserves your kneeling!" Jiang Wen continues.

The extras, following the script, burst into laughter.

"I, too, am not worthy of your kneeling!" Jiang Wen emphasizes again.

Immediately, Jiang Wen clicks his fingers, enunciating slowly: "I came to Goose City to handle three things: fairness, fairness, and damn fairness!"

The extras kneel again, shouting Lord of the Blue Sky.

Jiang Wen, frowning, raises his gun again; after a louder shot, he shouts sternly: "Stand up, no kneeling!"

This time, the extras hesitate not and quickly stand.

Jiang Wen, satisfied, nods and smiles: "Ah, that's right!"

"Click!"

With that, Lin Mo's voice drops.

Filming ends!

However…

Because we didn't hear him shout.

So.

This scene will probably need to be shot several more times.

The Eternal Love: Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms crew.

This period.

Because the neighboring "Let the Bullets Fly" crew—Zhu Xudan, Gao Weiguang and the other actors—picked up a lot of experience from watching the play.

So now, when they shoot, their acting has clearly improved.

Not to mention them.

Yang Mi herself has also had new insights.

As for Re Ba,

there's no need to say more.

Lin Mo certainly hasn't shied away from giving her extra coaching.

After each shoot, Lin Mo patiently explains to her why Jiang Wen, Ge Daye and the others act that way, and what the essence of the scene is.

So.

Re Ba's acting improves at lightning speed!

However…

Comparing them, they realize.

The gap between "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Eternal Love: Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" is simply huge.

Their drama feels like children playing house.

Here.

The "Let the Bullets Fly" crew.

Feng Dao arrives!

Because it's time for the horse‑pulling‑the‑train scene.

Feng Dao's role is Master Tang.

Only...

The opening already has him receiving a lunch box.

"Feng Dao!"

"Director Lin!"

After meeting, Lin Mo shook hands with Feng Xiaogang, laughing as if reuniting with an old friend after many years.

Then Feng Xiaogang also greeted Jiang Wen, Ge Daye, and Fa Ge—they're all old friends!

"Director Lin, you really splashed the cash this time, shooting the film on film stock; word's spread throughout the circle!" Feng Dao teased Lin Mo with a smile.

Lin Mo waved his hand, smiling modestly: "It's not about living up to a few older brothers; with you all here, the film's quality must be top‑notch!"

Feng Dao chuckled: "Exactly, exactly!"

Seeing that noon was approaching, Lin Mo slapped his thigh: "Let's go, Feng Dao, we'll have a meal first, give you a warm welcome; the filming can wait!"

Feng Dao arrived at the crew.

He couldn't just grab people and start filming right away.

That would be so unfair.

The group marched grandly to the restaurant, eating and chatting, the atmosphere lively.

Lin Mo knew in his heart that this meal was about both goodwill and partnership.

However, compared with Jiang Wen, he was still too young.

He's the real social butterfly.

He still needs to learn a lot.

"Xiao Gang, do you know who Director Lin's filming style is similar to?" Ge Daye said with a smile.

"Who?" Feng Dao asked curiously.

"Xing Zai, of course!" Fa Ge replied, but Feng Dao's expression shifted subtly, since he and Xing Ye have some unpleasant history.

Jiang Wen saw this and quickly changed the subject: "Let's not talk about that, let's not talk about that, Xiao Gang, you have no idea how good my younger brother's script is..."

Then Jiang Wen began to talk about the script of *Let the Bullets Fly*.

He mentioned, for example, some metaphors in the plot and dialogue.

Feng Xiaogang listened, stunned and bewildered.

Whoa!

What a guy!

"Director Lin, you're bold—aren't you worried the higher-ups might reject it during review?" Feng Dao asked half‑jokingly, half‑seriously.

Hearing that...

Lin Mo smiled faintly, pointing at Jiang Wen: "We have Brother Jiang here, after all; his connections are vast, and he has many ways."

Indeed.

Whether this film can pass review.

It still depends on Jiang Wen.

His network is beyond what I can match.

Jiang Wen burst into laughter, raising his glass: "Alright, alright, with such a great film, I'll stake my life to get it released!"

Ever since he got the script and saw the plot and dialogue,

he already knew.

The film my younger brother shoots will most likely fail the review.

But still,

He has plenty of ways!

"Come on, come on, drink up!"

"Let's go!"

On the other side.

Online.

Soon photos of Feng Xiaogang appeared at Hengdian.

Feng Xiaogang, his fame has skyrocketed.

One could say audiences are very familiar with his face.

"Ah, does Director Lin Mo's film feature Feng Xiaogang?"

"I think it's probably a cameo, right?"

"Cameo? A cameo is great!"

"When Feng Dao offers a sacrifice, it must be a good film!"

"Hahaha!"

"Feng Xiaogang: Who else?"

Netizens kept debating endlessly.

Even

Someone even mentioned the meme of Feng Xiaogang cameoing in movies.

These years

Feng Dao has cameoed in many films.

And they mostly appear at the beginning, then disappear.

Crucially, every film he cameoed in performed well at the box office.

Thus this meme arose.

When Feng Dao offers a sacrifice, it must be a good film!
