The Fleeting Years of Chinese Entertainment

No celebrity who takes crooked or unethical paths ever ends up well!

Lin Mo will naturally take this as a warning.

However, the studio needs to be set up as soon as possible. Although the industry is not yet booming, it can at least help Lin Mo save some money.

The teacher on the stage was giving a lecture, while Lin Mo on the stage was making plans.

To the uninformed, one might think Lin Mo was a very studious person!

"Linzi, did you invite Yifei to a dinner party?"

While eating lunch in the cafeteria, Zhu Yawen asked Lin Mo:

"How did you know? Did Yifei tell you?"

Lin Mo was a little curious. He thought he was very careful when he threw the note, and that not many people should have seen it.

However, his face was soon slapped repeatedly by his roommate.

"Do you think I'm blind? That note was so big, it almost hit my face! How am I supposed to know? You've got some nerve, passing notes so openly in class! Aren't you afraid the teacher will scold you?"

Seeing Zhu Yawen's disdainful look, Lin Mo scratched his head awkwardly.

"Is it...is it that obvious? I remember throwing it quite carefully."

"Be careful my ass! You're so reckless, the students behind you all saw it. If Yifei hadn't told me after class, I would have thought you were secretly passing love letters to someone!"

Zhu Yawen, who has now officially transformed into a pair of beady eyes, continues to retaliate against the self-righteous Lin Mo.

……

Lin Mo's campus life was fulfilling yet dull. Apart from chatting and joking with Zhu Yawen in the dormitory every day, he spent his days in class.

Moreover, ever since Lin Mo organized the weekend dinner, he has been indirectly considered by others to have joined Liu Yifei's clique.

Despite this, Lin Mo did not sense any change in his classmates' attitudes towards him.

As Lin Mo relived his campus life, the release of "Lost in Thailand" gradually came to an end.

The box office success of 3412 million RMB also made Lin Mo a household name in the industry.

In no time, he was offered numerous scripts and roles.

Some film and television companies even expressed their willingness to fully invest in him, hoping he would make another film.

Fortunately, Lin Mo doesn't have a cell phone right now, otherwise he would have wasted a lot of money on phone bills every day.

"Linzi, you really rejected them all?"

In the dormitory, Zhu Yawen looked at Lin Mo with disbelief.

"Yeah, I've seen them. Those offers I got aren't for any good roles at all. People aren't stupid; they know I don't have much acting skill anymore. Why would they give me an important role? Besides, I don't plan to act anymore, well… except for my own films." Lin Mo complained helplessly.

"What about those companies that want to sign you? I heard even Wong Jing-hua came to the school to find you personally. Aren't you even a little bit tempted?"

"Sister Hua...?" Lin Mo murmured.

"To be honest, I was quite tempted. The conditions she offered were very good. But unfortunately, I'm a rather lazy person with no great ambitions. I just wanted to coast along and wait to die. If you hadn't provoked me back then, I'd probably still be living an unknown life!"

Lin Mo immediately switched to a Ge You-style reclining position, so comfortable that he wanted to let out a few howls.

"No, Linzi, you're such a loser! Isn't this the perfect time for us to work hard and strive for success? Why do you seem so颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, apathy, and apathy)?"

Lin Mo didn't even bother to smell the hot chicken soup that Zhu Yawen presented to him.

"Fine! Judging from your expression, you're thinking of just living the retirement life of an old cadre." Zhu Yawen looked at him with a look of utter disappointment.

"So what are your plans for the future? Will you continue living like this?"

"Of course not," Lin Mo finally regained some of his energy.

"After all, I'm going to study directing this summer, so I naturally have to bring a gift when I visit my professor, otherwise I might get a lecture from him!"

Zhu Yawen perked up immediately upon hearing this, "Linzi, you mean...?"

"Yes, just like you think. After my movie's revenue sharing comes through in a while, I'll make a film as a gift to my apprenticeship in the directing department."

Thinking back to the proud look Xie Xiaojing gave him at the celebration banquet for "Lost in Thailand," Lin Mo really couldn't bear to embarrass his master.

"Linzi, are you serious? Am I involved? What kind of subject matter? Do you have a script? Have you contacted the production team?"

Zhuhaba looked at Lin Mo with excitement, his eyes filled with undisguised anticipation.

Lin Mo looked up and gave Zhu Yawen a disdainful glance. "Look at you, so worthless!"

"The script is being written, and the cost shouldn't be too high, since it's a realistic subject. As for the director... I've decided to direct it myself, but I'll also need my teacher to give me some feedback. As for the filming equipment and crew, I'd like to go and take a look at the China Film Studio. After all, our school can't compare to the China Film Studio in this regard, and I want to make a better film this time."

"A realistic theme? Lin Zi... are you thinking of aiming for an award?" Zhu Yawen asked somewhat guiltily.

If Lin Mo really intended to make an award-winning film, he was actually a little hesitant. After all, relationships are relationships, but Zhu Yawen didn't want to use those relationships to add any unstable factors to Lin Mo's film.

After all, he knew his own acting skills were questionable. Although he was somewhat confident, he wasn't really that confident.

"Don't worry, Xiao Zhu, your acting skills are quite good. I'll seriously consider it."

After that day, Lin Mo continued his life of going back and forth between the dormitory, the canteen, and the classroom.

And the script for his next movie was freshly produced under this fixed pattern of life.

Parasite, a film originally made by South Korea, tells the story of a family consisting entirely of unemployed people.

The story revolves around a family where the father, Kim Ki-taek, is idle and lazy, until his ambitious eldest son, Kim Ki-woo, applies for a tutor position at the home of wealthy CEO Park using a forged diploma. This leads to a series of unexpected events involving the two vastly different families.

Lin Mo chose this film for a simple reason: it had won several important international awards, the most notable of which was the four Academy Awards at the 92nd Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best International Feature Film, and Best Original Screenplay.

In addition, the film won the Palme d'Or (Best Film) at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival.

These achievements made it the first non-English language film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, and also made history for South Korean cinema.

Lin Mo said: You guys are used to stealing things, so it's not too much for me to "steal" something from you too, right?
