We asked you to make an anti-corruption film, but you made one in the name of the people!

When Lin Mo returned from the Ministry of Public Security, it was almost time to get off work.

As soon as he entered the publicity department's office, Xiao Wang jumped up from his workstation.

"Brother Lin! Where have you been? I haven't seen you all day!"

Xiao Liu chimed in, "Yeah, Brother Lin, we all saw the Ministry of Public Security send a car to pick you up this morning. What happened?"

Lin Mo put his bag on the table and said casually, "Nothing, just going out to take care of some errands."

"Getting something done? What kind of business requires the Ministry of Public Security to send a car to pick you up?" Xiao Wang looked incredulous. "Brother Lin, have you taken on some big job again? Tell us about it!"

"It's nothing," Lin Mo smiled, not intending to say more.

Although the Ministry of Public Security and the Supreme People's Procuratorate are both part of the political and legal system, they are, after all, two separate entities. Since the anti-fraud film project hasn't been officially finalized yet, he can't discuss it publicly.

Seeing that Lin Mo wouldn't say anything, Xiao Wang didn't press the matter, but he kept muttering, "Something's definitely wrong, something's definitely wrong..."

Lin Mo ignored him, tidied up the things on the table, and went up to the eighth floor.

Prosecutor Zhao was still in his office.

Lin Mo knocked on the door and went in. Zhao Jian was looking at documents. He looked up, saw it was Lin Mo, and put down his pen.

"You're back? What did the Ministry of Public Security say?"

Lin Mo sat down on the sofa and recounted his trip to the Ministry of Public Security.

He recounted everything from Director Wang's attitude during their meeting to the cases told by the police officers from the Criminal Investigation Bureau.

After listening, Prosecutor Zhao remained silent for a while.

"I know Director Wang; he's a man of action. If he says he'll fully cooperate, then he means he'll fully cooperate." Prosecutor Zhao picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Xiao Lin, now that you've taken this on, you have to do it well. The Ministry of Public Security is watching, and the people are watching too; we can't afford to be careless."

Lin Mo nodded: "Prosecutor Zhao, I understand."

When will the script be available?

Give me two or three days.

"Two or three days?" Prosecutor Zhao was taken aback. "So soon?"

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Prosecutor Zhao, you know I write scripts quickly."

When Zhao Jian recalled that Lin Mo had finished writing the 55-episode script for "In the Name of the People" in just three days, he no longer found it strange.

"Okay, then hurry up and write it. Let me see it when you're done."

"it is good."

……

After leaving Prosecutor Zhao's office, Lin Mo did not go home.

He returned to his workstation, turned on his computer, and began writing the script.

This time, I'm going to write about "Going All In".

He had read "All or Nothing" twice in his previous life and it left a deep impression on him.

The film tells the story of several young people who are lured to northern Myanmar by high-paying job offers and forced to participate in telecom fraud.

The main storyline involves a programmer and a model who are tricked into going to a fraud park, where they suffer inhumane treatment before being rescued by the police.

The plot is fast-paced and the rhythm is intense. Most importantly, it's authentic.

Lin Mo already had a complete framework in his mind.

He decided to make some modifications based on his previous life.

One option is to change the protagonist's identity to that of an ordinary person—a recent college graduate who gets scammed while looking for a job.

Secondly, a subplot involving a victim's family will be added, telling the story of an elderly woman whose family was destroyed after being scammed, echoing the main storyline of the fraud-ridden industrial park.

Third, change the ending to be more positive—the police conduct a cross-border crackdown, the fraud gang is busted, and the victims are rescued.

This serves as both a warning and a source of hope.

Lin Mo's fingers flew across the keyboard.

His way of writing screenplays is different from others.

Others write the outline first, then the episodes, and then the dialogue.

He has a complete movie in his mind, going through it frame by frame, and then describing the scenes in words.

This writing style is fast, but also tiring.

Because the brain can't stop; if it stops, it shuts down.

Lin Mo wrote until 11 p.m.

I only ate one bowl of instant noodles and went to the toilet twice.

When he got to the seventh scene, his hand started to cramp, so he stopped, shook it, and continued writing.

The next day, he took half a day off and continued writing at home.

On the third day, he took another half-day off to continue writing.

By the afternoon of the third day, the complete script for "All or Nothing" was finished.

This isn't an outline or a synopsis; it's a proper scene-by-scene script.

It includes character dialogue, scene descriptions, and emotion annotations—everything you could need.

Lin Mo printed out the script; it was a thick stack, heavy in his hand.

He flipped through it, corrected a few typos, and then took the script to Prosecutor Zhao's office.

Zhao Jian took the script, read the first page, and nodded.

"The layout is good."

Lin Mo smiled; Zhao Jian had said the same thing before.

Zhao Jian put on his reading glasses and began to read.

The office fell silent.

Zhao Jian read very slowly, even slower than when he watched "In the Name of the People".

Because this is a movie script, it is short but dense with information.

Every scene and every line of dialogue must be carefully considered.

Upon seeing part of the fraud park, Prosecutor Zhao frowned.

His hand trembled slightly when he saw the part of the victim's broken leg.

When he saw the part where the old lady jumped off the building after being scammed, he put down the script, took off his glasses, and rubbed his eyes.

After a long silence, he put his glasses back on and continued reading.

Zhao Jian finished reading it.

He closed the script, placed it on the table, and looked at Lin Mo.

"Kobayashi." His voice was a little hoarse.

"Prosecutor Zhao, please speak."

"This script is even more ruthless than 'In the Name of the People'."

Lin Mo remained silent, waiting for Prosecutor Zhao to continue.

Pointing to the script, Prosecutor Zhao said, "In the Name of the People is about corrupt officials, which makes ordinary people feel relieved. This is about fraud, which will frighten ordinary people. Which is more important, relief or fear? I think it's fear. Because fear can make people avoid danger."

He paused, then continued, "This script absolutely must be filmed. And it needs to be done quickly. The sooner it's filmed and broadcast, the fewer people will be deceived."

Lin Mo nodded: "Prosecutor Zhao, shall I take it to the Ministry of Public Security tomorrow?"

"Go ahead." Prosecutor Zhao handed the script back to him.

……

The next morning, Lin Mo called Director Sun.

"Director Sun, the script is finished."

On the other end of the phone, Director Sun was visibly taken aback: "It's finished? So fast?"

"Yes, it's written. When is it convenient for you? I'll bring it over."

"Convenient! Anytime is fine!" Director Sun's voice suddenly became excited. "Director Lin, can you come this morning? I'll make the arrangements. Director Wang also wants to see it."

"Okay, I'll be there at ten."

This time, it was Xiao Zhang who picked up Lin Mo again.

Upon arriving at the Ministry of Public Security, Director Sun led him directly to Director Wang's office.

Director Wang was on the phone when he saw Lin Mo come in. He nodded to him, indicating that Lin Mo should sit down first.

After hanging up the phone, Director Wang walked over and immediately noticed the stack of scripts in Lin Mo's hand.

"Is this the script?"

"Yes, Director Wang, please take a look first."

Director Wang took the script, but instead of sitting down, he stood by the desk and opened the first page.

He reads very quickly, unlike Prosecutor Zhao who ponders every word, he skims through the text rapidly.

But when he turned to the fifth page, he slowed down.

Lin Mo and Director Sun sat on the side, neither of them saying a word.

Twenty minutes later, Director Wang finished reading.

He closed the script, placed it on the table, and looked at Lin Mo.

"Kobayashi." His voice was deep.

"Director Wang, please speak."

"This script is realistic."

Just two words, but Lin Mo knew that this was the highest praise.

Because authenticity is what Director Wang values ​​most.

Director Wang tapped the script: "The plot here is exactly the same as the case files I've seen. What the fraud park is like, how the victims were scammed, beaten, and escaped—it all matches up. You're not making up a story; you're recreating the facts."

Lin Mo said, "Director Wang, I wrote this based on the materials you gave me. Those cases were too shocking; I didn't dare to make things up, for fear that if I fabricated something false, the people wouldn't believe it."

"Yes." Director Wang nodded emphatically. "We need to make the people believe. Only when they believe can they be vigilant, and only when they are vigilant can they avoid being harmed."

He stood up, took a couple of steps around the office, stopped, and slammed his hand on the table.

"Just shoot it like this!"

Lin Mo felt a sense of relief.

"You don't need to worry about the budget," Director Wang said to Lin Mo. "The Ministry of Public Security will provide the funding. You're in charge of filming; don't worry about anything else."

"Thank you, Director Wang."

"Don't thank me, thank yourself." Director Wang waved his hand. "The script is well-written; that's your own talent."

He paused, then asked, "What are your thoughts on the actors?"

Lin Mo took a piece of paper out of his bag and handed it over.

"Director Wang, this is a list of actors I've drafted. Please take a look."

Director Wang took it and read it aloud.

"Zhang Yixing – plays programmer Pan Sheng."

"Jin Chen – plays model Liang Anna."

"Wang Chuanjun plays Manager Lu, the head of the fraud ring."

"Yong Mei – plays Zhao Dongran, an anti-fraud police officer."

"...There are a few supporting roles that haven't been cast yet."

After Director Wang finished reading the list, he looked up at Lin Mo.

"Do you know all these people?"

"I know a few of them, and for those I don't know, I can have someone contact me," Lin Mo said. "They're all talented actors, their acting skills are definitely not a problem."

"Okay." Director Wang placed the list on the table. "We'll use this list. The Ministry of Public Security will coordinate the actors. I'll talk to anyone who tries to charge exorbitant prices."

Director Sun added from the side, "Director Wang, this Wang Chuanjun has acted in quite a few plays and has a good reputation. But playing a fraud ringleader... is he up to the task?"

Lin Mo smiled: "Director Sun, don't worry. Wang Chuanjun's greatest strength as an actor is that he can convincingly portray any role. The role of Manager Lu is absolutely perfect for him."

Director Wang waved his hand: "Alright, then it's settled. Xiao Lin, leave the list here, I'll have someone contact them."

Lin Mo pushed the list forward again: "Director Wang, there's one more thing. For this movie, I'd like to use a real place name—Northern Myanmar. No hiding, no ambiguity, just say Northern Myanmar."

Director Wang thought for a moment and nodded.

"Okay. What the people want to know is the truth. If you film the real thing, they will believe it."

After leaving Director Wang's office, Section Chief Sun escorted Lin Mo downstairs.

"Director Lin, when do you plan to start filming this script?" Director Sun asked.

"The sooner the better," Lin Mo said. "The longer this kind of film is delayed in being made, the more people will be deceived."

Director Sun nodded and said nothing more.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, Lin Mo got out.

Xiao Zhang leaned out of the car window: "Director Lin, when are you picking me up next time?"

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Wait for my call."

Back in his office, Lin Mo put the script on the table and let out a long sigh of relief.

Xiao Wang leaned closer: "Brother Lin, you've been acting all mysterious these past few days, what have you been up to?"

Lin Mo glanced at him, thought for a moment, and decided it was better not to say anything.

"Nothing much, just wrote something."

"What is it?"

You'll find out later.

Xiao Wang rolled his eyes: "You're keeping us in suspense again."

Lin Mo ignored him, turned on her computer, and began organizing the actors' contact information.

Wang Chuanjun, Zhang Yixing, Jin Chen, Yong Mei...

He recognized some of the actors, but not others.

But it doesn't matter, the Ministry of Public Security will step in, there's no one we can't get.

Outside the window, the sun is shining brightly.

Lin Mo looked out the window, his mind already replaying a movie.

The iron gates of the fraud park, the armed security guards, the young man with a broken leg, the girl crying and shouting that she wants to go home...

These images will soon become real footage.

Then it became a movie.

Then it will be seen by millions of people.

He hopes that those who see this will remember one thing—

Don't believe high-paying job offers.

Don't go to northern Myanmar.
