Chapter 133

So, understanding the plot of “Divine Enthronement” in its entirety must be quite challenging for her.

After all, the target audience for “Divine Enthronement” isn’t her age group.

However, that doesn’t stop her from being enthralled by the exquisite animation, lifelike characters, and the pulse-pounding BGM.

A little while later.

The first season of “Divine Enthronement,” all 12 episodes, finally finished playing, and the big screen gradually darkened.

Immediately after, the lights in the theater came on, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.

Whooosh

Though the applause was loud,

Lin Mo could tell that these so-called experts and seniors invited by Zhang Yihua didn’t really think highly of him.

Their clapping, he guessed, was partly just for show.

But Lin Mo wasn’t worried about it at all.

He had great confidence in the intelligence provided by the system.

These experts and seniors don’t think much of “Divine Enthronement”? Well, “Divine Enthronement” might just turn out to be a dark horse!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhang Yihua quickly walked up to the front of the big screen, gave a slight bow, and said with some excitement, “I would like to thank everyone for the long-term support and recognition of Yihua Animation Studio, for the hard work of every colleague, and for the peers present who took the time out of their busy schedules to provide guidance for the review version of the ‘Divine Enthronement’ animation.”

The short speech was marked with many pauses.

But that’s normal, Zhang Yihua is a homebody and not adept at public speaking.

Next, after easing his tension a bit more, Zhang Yihua continued, “Here, I sincerely want to thank my two old classmates, who extended their hands to help me when I was struggling the most. It’s also because of their help that we have the opportunity today to be here together and witness the present and the future of ‘Divine Enthronement’!”

“Lin, Li, thank you both!”

Zhang Yihua is also a man of emotion.

As he spoke, hot tears welled up in his eyes, and with his feet together, he gave a ninety-degree bow to Lin Mo and Li Jinwen to express his most sincere gratitude.

Everyone’s attention, at this moment, also followed the direction of Zhang Yihua’s bow and fell on the family of three, Lin Mo’s.

The sound of applause rose once again.

Suddenly being focused on by so many people is quite a pressure for most people.

Like Li Jinwen, who was very nervous at that moment, her face flushed red and her hands hung awkwardly by her side.

Lin Xiaoxiao, sitting in the middle, was unconcerned about what the adults said, as her mind was filled with scenes of Nezha fighting monsters.

If this had been the old Lin Mo before, faced with such attention, he would have been a bit overwhelmed.

But times have changed, and after experiencing so, so much, Lin Mo was no longer the laborer who only knew how to work hard for money.

Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, he took Li Jinwen’s hand, slowly got up, and with a smile said, “Old classmate, don’t put it that way, I consider it an investment. And honestly, the animation you’ve produced is very impressive, I’m really hopeful for it. Here, I wish ‘Divine Enthronement’ an early online release, great success, and blockbuster sales across all platforms.”

Applause arose.

Zhang Yihua bowed once again.

After a moment, when the theater quieted down again, Zhang Yihua with tears in his eyes and with excitement loudly announced, “I declare the first season of the ‘Divine Enthronement’ animation! All the preliminary preparations are officially completed!!!”

“I have prepared a lavish celebration banquet for everyone outside, and once again thank you all for your help and support with ‘Divine Enthronement’.”

Whooosh

Bang… bang bang…

Indoor fireworks went off, and a shower of streamers floated down.

All the attendees stood up, collectively delivering the most fervent applause.

At the same time, the theater doors opened, and a few ladies in gowns led the way to welcome everyone to the banquet.

Zhang Yihua sprinted straight up to Lin Mo’s family of three, and with an excited laugh said, “Mr. Lin, my old classmate, 1 didn’t properly host you the last time… oh no, the previous two times you visited. With all three of you here this time, you can’t possibly leave right away, right?”

“Of course not, this time I’m here to get my money’s worth,” Lin Mo replied with a smile, patting Zhang Yihua’s shoulder. “I never imagined our class would produce a great director. You’ll have to sign an autograph for my daughter later, or else it might be too expensive for me to afford in the future.”

His face turning red, Zhang Yihua said, “Mr. Lin, you’re joking with me again, what great director? Without you, I would be nothing.”

“Dad, I just heard something about food??”

Lin Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes.

“Yes! There’s food! Lots and lots of food! Xiaoxiao, Uncle Yihua will take you there!”

Zhang Yihua laughed.

“You little glutton, always thinking about food.”

Lin Mo shook his head with a wry smile, took Lin Xiaoxiao’s hand and followed Zhang Yihua outside.

As she walked, Lin Xiaoxiao curiously asked, “Dad, what’s ‘killing greens’ Uncle Yihua mentioned just now?”

Lin Mo smiled, “I can’t explain it clearly, ask Uncle Yihua, he’s more professional.”

“Uncle Yihua, what is ‘killing greens’ exactly?”

Zhang Yihua promptly and patiently explained, “Killing greens’ comes from the process of making bamboo slips. In ancient times, people would scorch the bamboo slips with flames to remove the moisture, so that they wouldn’t be eaten by insects. This process was called ‘killing greens.’ Because it had a good connotation, it was widely adopted. When a movie is done filming, or an actor finishes their scenes, we also say it’s ‘killing greens..’”
