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

The domestic scenes were almost finished being filmed, and the crew set off for France.

The first overseas location for this film was Paris, and the famous Château de Chantilly.

Scenes involving the theft of famous paintings and the secret chambers of ancient castles are all filmed here.

Upon arriving in Paris, the group settled in.

Despite being in a foreign country and not speaking the language, the crew remained calm and composed.

Why?

Because there is a Jackie Chan.

After settling in, Lao Zhao suggested that they go for a stroll in the streets and check out the area.

So the group left the hotel and strolled around the streets of Paris.

During this stroll, Lin Mo truly experienced for the first time what international influence meant.

Jackie Chan walked at the front, dressed casually without any special effort in dressing up, but as he walked through the streets of Paris, every foreigner who passed by recognized him.

"Jackie Chan!" a young Frenchman shouted excitedly, running over to take a photo with him.

"Jackie Chan! Kung Fu!" an old man said in broken Chinese, giving a thumbs-up.

When he bought a cup of coffee, the shopkeeper recognized him as Jackie Chan and refused to pay. While eating, a Frenchman at the next table came over with a glass of wine to toast him, muttering "King of Kung Fu."

Cheng Long smiled and responded to each question.

Soon, he was surrounded by people asking for autographs and taking photos, keeping him extremely busy.

Lin Mo stood to the side, completely unrecognized.

In China, he is a director with 128 billion yuan in box office revenue, a national model worker, and the center of attention wherever he goes.

But in this foreign land, no one knew who Lin Mo was.

In the eyes of foreigners, there is only Jackie Chan.

Old Zhao leaned close to Lin Mo and whispered, "Director Lin, look at the clout this big brother has! Even abroad, we still need to rely on him. Back home, you were a top star, but here, people only recognize you."

Lin Mo smiled and said frankly, "That's normal. Your international fame is the result of decades of hard work. I've only made a few films and haven't really made it big yet. It's not surprising that nobody recognizes me abroad."

Old Zhao said, "Director Lin, aren't you feeling aggrieved? Back home, you're a very influential figure."

Lin Mo waved his hand: "What's there to be upset about? The movie hasn't even been filmed yet, so why should anyone recognize you? We'll talk about influence when 'Chinese Zodiac' is released globally and Chinese films go global. Right now, we haven't even earned that much recognition yet."

Old Zhao nodded in agreement: "Director Lin, I truly admire your attitude."

Looking at Cheng Long, who was surrounded by foreigners, Lin Mo felt even more clear-headed.

He knew that he was still far from reaching the international status of Jackie Chan.

But that's exactly what this movie is aiming for.

What truly astonished the entire crew was the Château de Chantilly.

Chantilly Castle is a top-tier French royal historical site and is never open to film crews.

Before the film crew arrived, I was nervous, afraid of being rejected.

As a result, when they heard it was Jackie Chan, they immediately canceled all the appointments with celebrities, closed the castle for a whole week, and handed the entire castle over to the film crew.

The castle lord personally came out to greet him, shaking Jackie Chan's hand with overwhelming emotion: "Jackie Chan! You are a legend in China! It is our castle's honor to host you!"

Cheng Long politely replied, "Thank you. We'll be careful during filming to avoid damaging any plants or trees here."

The lord of the fortress waved his hand dismissively: "Take as many pictures as you like! Use whatever you need here!"

And the most outrageous part is yet to come.

For the scene where they take the painting, they needed an old chair as a prop.

Upon hearing this, the lord of the castle, without saying a word, brought out the antique chair that Louis XIV had once used.

"Jackie Chan, please step on this chair!" the lord said.

Jackie Chan was stunned: "This...this is an antique! How can I step on it?"

The castle owner smiled and said, "Please step on it, it's alright. It's an honor for this chair to be a part of your movie."

Cheng Long was both amused and exasperated, turning to look at Lin Mo: "Director Lin, this..."

Lin Mo laughed too: "Brother, the lord of the fortress has already spoken, so go ahead and step on him. Even Hollywood directors might not get this kind of treatment."

Cheng Long then carefully stepped on it.

The entire crew was stunned by the scene.

Old Zhao muttered to himself, "Other people pay to rent locations when they're filming, but when my brother films, they close the museum for a week and even bring out Louis XIV's chair. That's some serious face."

......

After filming the scenes at the castle, the crew rested at a nearby hotel.

In the evening, the actors gathered in the hotel's lounge area and chatted about what had happened during the day.

Xiang Zuo was the most excited, gesturing wildly as she said, "Did you see that? My brother was on the streets of Paris, and those foreigners treated him like a national treasure, even giving him free food! I could never even dream of such treatment."

Zhang Lanxin added, "Absolutely. And the castle lord, upon hearing that it was Big Brother, immediately canceled all the appointments of celebrities and closed the museum for a whole week. Even Hollywood directors can't get that kind of face."

Liao Fan leaned back on the sofa and sighed, "Big Brother fought his way from Hong Kong to Hollywood, from Asia to the world. His international fame was earned through hard work, one punch at a time. We younger generation are far behind."

Wen Ning sat next to him, her eyes sparkling: "I used to only see my brother's movies on the big screen. I never imagined that he himself was so successful internationally. He's amazing."

Lin Mo sat to the side, listening to their conversation, and then chimed in: "So for this movie, I invited Big Brother to come. The national treasure is coming home. This matter requires someone who can bring the whole world to listen. Big Brother is that kind of person."

Jackie Chan happened to be coming downstairs when he heard Lin Mo's words. He smiled and waved his hand, "Director Lin, you flatter me too much. I, Jackie Chan, am good at fighting, but when it comes to making movies, you, the director, are the one who's truly capable."

Lin Mo said, "Brother, don't be modest. This movie is half script and half you. Without your face, this movie wouldn't have made it international."

Jackie Chan walked over and sat down, smiling as he said, "Director Lin, you're really flattering me. But to be honest, I really love this movie. The words 'national treasures returning home' make my blood boil. If you're making this film, I, Jackie Chan, will do anything to help you send it abroad."

Xiang Zuo, listening from the side, was filled with excitement: "Brother, Director Lin, with the two of you working together, it's hard for this movie not to be a hit."

Zhang Lanxin also said, "That's right. With the elder brother's international appeal and Director Lin's directing skills, this 'Chinese Zodiac' will definitely be able to go global."

Wen Ning asked in a low voice, "Director Lin, will this movie really be released worldwide?"

Lin Mo nodded: "Yes, this movie will not only be released globally, but also let people all over the world know that China's national treasures are returning home."

Cheng Long slammed his hand on the table: "That's right! Let those who are hiding our national treasures think twice after watching this movie."

Everyone chimed in, and the conversation grew increasingly lively.
