Chapter 469

Here. - OK.

Re Ba and Song Wanwan were sitting in another luxury car, and Ge er jia duo and Xu Dongdong were also there. - Contains "Ge er jia duo" which is pinyin, no Chinese characters. Good.

The scenery outside the car window left Song Wanwan dumbfounded; she clung to the window, her face almost pressing against the glass: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law! Quickly look at that billboard!" - OK.

Re Ba looked in the direction she pointed, and saw on the exterior wall of a fifty-story building a twenty-meter-high virtual image of Lin Mo waving toward the street, while nearby a scrolling playback displayed "Welcome International Director Lin Mo to Saudi" We need to output lines: English. - Need to ensure we have the exact phrase "We need to output lines: English". It appears at end. Ensure no Chinese. Good.

Also "Lin Mo's virtual image" includes Lin Mo (Lin Mo). So we have Lin Mo.

Also "We need to output lines: English" we must translate as per glossary: "We need to output lines: English". That's weird but we must output that phrase exactly.

Thus named entities: Re Ba, Lin Mo.

Good buddy! - OK.

"My goodness, my brother is in Saudi, this is too awesome!" Song Wanwan exclaimed excitedly. - OK.

"I want to record a video and post it in the family group; my great-aunt will see it and probably be so shocked her mouth won't close." - OK.

Speaking, Song Wanwan quickly pulled out her phone and began recording a video. - OK.

"Auntie, auntie, hurry up and look!" she shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice cracking: "We're in Saudi! Do you see? That building up there is my brother!" - OK.

Song Wanwan turned the camera and pointed it at both sides of the street—streetlights modified into race car shapes, palm trees draped with LED strips, and massive Full Holographic Projection billboards—all captured in the frame: "Do you see? Do you see? The whole street is covered in ads for my brother's movie, and there's more over there!" - OK.

Xu Dongdong couldn't help laughing at the sight. - OK.

Director Lin's sister is also super cute! - OK.

The capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, has become merchandise for Speed and Passion 2. - OK.

Thus named entities: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (as per glossary), Speed and Passion 2.

This news spread all over the world in no time. - OK.

After all. - OK.

With Prince Salman's high-profile promotion, how could the reporters miss it? - OK.

Joking aside, this is absolutely the hottest news topic of the year. - OK.

Media reporters from all over the world have come. - OK.

A breaking news story—who wouldn't want that? - OK.

Domestically. - OK.

Over the past few days, Douyin, Bilibili, and Weibo have been flooded with news about the upcoming release of Speed and Passion 2 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. - OK.

Especially after these reporters arrived in Riyadh. - OK.

The videos they filmed and sent back immediately made headlines. - OK.

"High-energy alert ahead!" - OK.

"Really, poverty limits my imagination!" - OK.

"The Saudi Tourism Bureau is killing it this time!" - OK.

"Is there still time to enter the raffle if we go to Saudi now?" - OK.

"Lin Mo: I just made a movie, how did it become a national propaganda piece?" - OK.

"Yesterday the ticket was 2300, today it's directly 6800?" - OK.

Netizens flooded in with jokes. - OK.

Saying the surge in Riyadh's ticket prices is even more exaggerated than Bitcoin... - OK.

Aside from these reporters and media. - OK.

Domestically, a large group of outdoor influencers and streamers have also rushed to Riyadh. - OK.

This is absolutely the biggest hotspot right now. - OK.

Well, the legendary man who supposedly saw a dragon has also kicked off his trip to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and just got off the plane. - OK.

Imperial Teacher held up his phone as he just walked out of the airport jetbridge in Riyadh. - OK.

"Brothers, watch this!" He pointed the camera at the giant LED screen in the terminal, which was continuously playing the desert racing clip from Fast and Furious 2, and exclaimed: "This is truly impressive!" - OK.

Meanwhile, his livestream. - OK.

Now there are already hundreds of thousands of people online. - OK.

Although... - OK.

Everyone often teases Imperial Teacher, but his outdoor livestream is indeed top-notch, and his popularity is also very high. - OK.

Especially, the 'having seen a dragon' meme just blew up! - OK.

"Holy crap, the whole airport is covered in movie ads!" - OK.

"Even the Arabic subtitles are gold-plated?!?" - OK.

"Just got off the plane and it's already an immersive experience, right?!" - OK.

"Imperial Teacher, Imperial Teacher, are you close with Director Lin?" - OK.

"Imperial Teacher: I have a friend who knows Director Lin!" - OK.

"Ahhhh, I also want to go to Saudi, but the plane tickets are ridiculously expensive!" - OK.

「...... 」 -> No.

Imperial Teacher glanced at the bullet comments on the public screen, but he didn't respond to the nonsense. - OK.

As he walked and filmed, a three-meter-tall standee of Lin Mo stood at the check-in

Suddenly, the Imperial Teacher stopped a white tourist pushing a luggage cart and asked in English, "Buddy, what do you think of this movie's promotion?"

"Crazy!" the foreigner gave a thumbs up, "My wife insists on coming to see the gold-plated supercar draw, she even changed our honeymoon trip!"

6666！ -> No.

After the Imperial Teacher's translation.

The whole public screen was filled with 666.

I have to say, this gold-plated supercar draw event is indeed attractive.

Regarding the price of this gold-plated supercar, the Imperial Teacher, while walking, calculated the cost for the live-stream audience:

"Brothers, I've checked!" He counted on his fingers, "An ordinary Lamborghini Aventador domestically starts at 8 million yuan, but this is a gold-plated custom version..."

"Last year Saudi Arabia auctioned a similar model, the transaction price was 20 million US dollars, converted to RMB that is... holy shit, 140 million RMB!!!"

Honestly, if I were super lucky and got this gold‑plated Lamborghini, I think I'd pass out on the spot!

No way.

Even if he's rich, this is a gold‑plated sports car worth 140 million yuan.

Before coming to Saudi Arabia, while on the plane, he actually dreamed that he became this lucky guy…

Of course.

It's not just him.

I guess every movie fan who came to Saudi Arabia has had this dream.

Then, Imperial Teacher walked to the baggage carousel area and suddenly laughed, "See that? Not even the conveyor belt is spared!"

Above the carousel, a screen scrolled a trilingual (Chinese, English, Arabic) notice: "Please claim your Fast and Furious 2 themed luggage sticker!"

The promotion is unbeatable!

No wonder people online say Riyadh has already become Speed and Passion 2 merchandise; it's not an exaggeration at all.

On the way to the hotel.

All the way, even Imperial Teacher, who's seen grand scenes, exclaimed he couldn't handle it!

At the same time.

Imperial Teacher's live broadcast from Saudi also set a new personal record for his streaming career!

Not just him.

There are also many outdoor streamers.

Their streaming careers also reached a new high.

One day later.

The premiere of Speed and Passion 2 is being held!

Outside the Saudi King International Conference Center, stars glittered, a red carpet stretched for hundreds of meters, and both sides were filled with global media reporters, their flashlights flashing like a downpour.

Tonight's premiere is not just a film screening; it feels like a top‑level gathering of filmmakers worldwide.

Major Hollywood directors, producers, and stars arrived, the lineup comparable to the Oscars ceremony!

When Lin Mo stepped down from the extended Rolls‑Royce Phantom, the whole venue erupted instantly!

He wore a sharply tailored black custom suit, with a tiny "FAST&FURIOUS" badge on his chest—understated yet full of power.

The reporters on site kept snapping, the shutter going "click click click" nonstop.

The next second, Lin Mo walked toward the Rolls‑Royce at the back, and then he, like a gentleman, opened the door.

Re Ba slightly bowed her head, leaned out of the car, and her Elie. Saab haute‑couture gown instantly triggered a flood of camera clicks.

Then, Re Ba linked arms with Lin Mo, and the two walked, smiling, waving to the reporters.

"Director Lin, over here!"

"Miss Re Ba, please turn!"

"Over here! Just one more shot!"

"......"

Both sides of the red carpet instantly erupted in thunderous cheers, reporters from around the world shouting in various languages and waving wildly.

After leaving their names on the autograph wall.

The two walked into the conference center.

Just as they entered, Cheng Long waved at Lin Mo.

For such an important film event, how could he not have invited Cheng Long?

"Mo, let me introduce you: this is Michael Bay, director of Transformers, and also Brian, director of the Mission: Impossible series…"

"And this one, I don't need to say… right? Legendary director James Cameron!"
