This director is vindictive.

Chapter 35: The Eternal Zombie Taoist Priest (Please Read)
Chen Mo didn't know why, but he felt a little sorry for the rich young woman.

No wonder she was so happy just taking a casual stroll.

Back on the set, Chen Mo found Lin Zi Chong.

"Director Chen, hello, hello, welcome to the crew. The fruit is delicious. Thank you, thank you." Fatty Lin said with a smile.

"Director Lin, actually, besides visiting the set, I also want to ask you for help with something." Chen Mo said.

"Oh? Director Lin, if you say so, I will definitely help if I can." Lin Zi Chong seemed a little surprised that Chen Mo wanted to ask him for help.

After all, the two had no intersection before.

"It's like this, I have a new movie to shoot and I want to find an actor from Hong Kong Island to play the role, but I'm not familiar with Hong Kong Island. Director Lin is from Hong Kong Island, I wonder if he knows Lin Zhenying?" Chen Mo stated his purpose.

"You want to film a movie with Uncle Ying?" Lin Zi Chong was a little surprised.

"Yes, of course. This is just the plan for now. It depends on Uncle Ying's condition." Chen Mo knew that Lin Zi Chong knew Uncle Ying.

"I know him, of course I know him. Not only that, but we are also very familiar with each other. We have worked together several times. But I don't know if he is filming recently." Lin Zi Chong said quickly.

"Okay, I'll call Uncle Ying now." Lin Zi Chong said again.

"Then I'll trouble you, Director Lin."

"No trouble, no trouble."

After Lin Zi Chong finished speaking, he took out his cell phone, found Uncle Ying's phone number and called him.

"Uncle Ying, it's me, Chongzi. The thing is, there's a big director here who wants to film with you. He's a real big director. He's the one who directed the nationally rated drama, 'Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together.'"

"Yes, he's looking for you! Don't believe me? He's right next to me. I'll give him the phone number and you two can talk on your own."

After Lin Zi Chong finished speaking, he handed the phone to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo picked up the phone and asked, "Uncle Ying?"

"Director Chen? You're too flattering. Just call me Aying. I heard from Chongzi that you wanted to ask me to film a movie?" Uncle Ying said a little stiffly on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, there is a play that wants to ask Uncle Ying to play the male lead. But I'd like to ask, this play involves some fighting scenes. I wonder if you, Uncle Ying..." Chen Mo said hesitantly.

After all, Uncle Ying is not young anymore, he is over 50 years old, and Chen Mo doesn't know if he can still fight. Although in Chen Mo's heart, Uncle Ying is still the only spokesperson for the zombie Taoist priest, he also has to consider practical issues.

Although the fighting scenes in "Mr. Vampire" are not traditional fighting scenes and are not that intense, there are still many fighting scenes.

"Hahaha, Director Chen, you should know that I come from a martial arts background. Although I'm older now and not as good as I used to be, I still have no problem as long as the fights are not particularly thrilling and intense." Uncle Ying said with a hearty smile.

"But, Director Chen, are you sure? You choose an old man like me to play the leading role?" He said with some doubts.

After all, although Uncle Ying in this world has played the leading role before, that was a long time ago and it was never acted out.

He mostly plays supporting roles in martial arts or guest-stars as a martial arts instructor.

Now Chen Mo suddenly said that he wanted to find him to be the male lead, which made him a little unbelievable.

"How about this, I wonder if Uncle Ying would be convenient to come to the mainland, or I can go to Hong Kong Island and we can meet and talk? My film is quite special and cannot be explained in a few words, so we need to talk in person." Chen Mo thought about it and said.

"Director Chen doesn't have to go to Hong Kong Island. I'm working at Hengcheng Film and Television City now and am almost done. I'd better go find Director Chen." Uncle Ying said with a smile.

"Okay! I'll send you the address later. Give me a call when you get here." Chen Mo agreed. After getting Uncle Ying's contact information from Lin Zichong, Chen Mo sent him the address of his company.

Then he found the rich young lady, who seemed reluctant to see Chen Mo leave so soon.

But he didn't try to persuade her to stay. Instead, Chen Mo smiled and said, "I'm going to film a more interesting drama. After you finish filming this drama, don't take on other dramas. Then come and act in my drama."

"Really?" The rich young woman looked surprised.

"Of course, but this role is not very outstanding. Although she is the heroine, the film is still centered around the male lead." Chen Mo said after thinking for a while.

"As long as I have your play, that's enough. By the way, is the money enough? If not, I have more." The rich young woman suddenly said again.

Chen Mo slapped his forehead and forgot about this matter. He took out the bank card of the rich woman and handed it to her.

"I almost forgot. The money from "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together" has come in. I made a lot of money. I'm going to return this money to you. It won't be counted as interest." Chen Mo said with a smile.

The wealthy young woman didn't take it but said, "I have money to spend. You must have a lot of money to spend on your new movie. Use it first. I'm not in a hurry."

Seeing her determined and serious expression, Chen Mo took back the bank card. Sure enough, the rich woman immediately smiled happily.

"Then I'll leave and contact you when the time comes." Chen Mo said.

"Okay, then drive slower." The rich young woman nodded.

After leaving Zhuozhou Film and Television City, Chen Mo returned to Beijing and continued writing the script for "Mr. Vampire" while also working on the director's storyboard script.

He treated this drama much more seriously than "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together". There was no other way. He had made too many copycat films of this kind in his previous life. This time, he had a rare opportunity to make an authentic one. He was really excited.

If we say that Chen Mo in the previous "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together" was purely to avenge the original owner and make money at the same time, then he really treated "Mr. Vampire" as his own career.

Although it is an online movie, the pioneer and the follower are two completely different things.

The key point is that he is much more confident and passionate about "Mr. Vampire" than "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together".

Although the financial prospects of "Mr. Vampire" may not be as good as "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together", Chen Mo still prefers to shoot "Mr. Vampire" rather than continue to direct the sequel of the latter himself.

"Mr. Vampire" can be said to be a pioneering work because although there are zombie movies in this world, they are completely different.

As for the role of the heroine, Miss Ren, it is an attempt by Chen Mo. Judging from the character's background, it is actually more in line with the role of a small rich woman.

On the other side, Uncle Ying was serving as the action director for a drama at Hengcheng Film and Television City.

What Chen Mo didn't know was that although Uncle Ying's development was not as good as in his previous life, he still had a group of people under him. Although they were not as famous as the Cheng family and the Yuan family, they were not unknown. They were not top-notch in the circle, but they were also a relatively well-known martial arts troupe.

It’s a pity that I have always been able to work behind the scenes. I have tried to push people to the front of the stage, but I have never been successful.

Now that Hong Kong films are declining and the mainland film and television market is rising, he also brought his team to the mainland to seek work. Although there is no shortage of work, it is still a bit lacking for a martial arts team to only work behind the scenes.

He didn't expect that even at his old age, someone would still ask him to play the leading role.

Although Chen Mo currently has only one drama in his portfolio, it has already won the first place in the national ratings and is also leading the trend. It can be said that the topic that cannot be avoided in the entertainment industry during this period is "Watching Meteor Shower Together".

PS: I have always been a fan of zombie movies. No matter how many remakes there are, Uncle Ying is the eternal zombie Taoist priest in my mind. No matter how well others perform, I always feel that it is missing something. That’s why I arranged this fictional plot before writing this book. I know that some people don’t like fictional plots, so I will try my best to follow the real timeline in the future and will not make up stories anymore.

Here I would like to pay tribute to the zombie Taoist priest Uncle Ying. May his heroic spirit be with us forever and his righteousness live on!

Half a bowl of clear water illuminates the universe, a talisman commands the spirits and gods, the red string and sticky rice are still there, but the Taoist Lin is no longer there!
Remembering and paying tribute to Uncle Ying!
