Chapter 99: A New Character, Ruthless and Silent!
"You think you're the protagonist of your own life, but actually even your background is a joke."
This sentence is a reflection of Ma Haohan's life.
This was how Ma Haohan felt when he met Yingying, especially when he learned from her that his father had not died.
Instead, she faked her death to escape, then went to live with someone else and started a new family.
Ma Haohan was actually somewhat devastated for a moment.
Yingying was willing to be Ma Haohan's pen pal for more than ten years because Ma Haohan's father wanted to know about his background.
That's why they've been exchanging letters for over a decade, and Yingying knew he was coming all along.
Ma Haohan, who had secretly loved the other person for many years, was greatly shocked when he learned the truth, but in the end he did not run away.
He chose to say a final goodbye to Yingying, ending their relationship that had lasted for more than a decade.
"I apologize for what I said in the letter..."
"It's okay. Liking someone means being unrestrained, but love means restraint!"
Later in the journey, Ma Haohan's condition deteriorated. His father's deception and his unrequited love ended abruptly. This part of Ma Haohan's character development is marked by these events.
Filming in Shanghai has come to an end. The next stop is Mongolia, which is the Gobi Desert and wasteland featured in the film.
The relocation of the film crew was no easy task; the entire crew was struggling to make ends meet.
However, these are all things that Han Han needs to manage. As an actress, Li Mo only needs to perform her own role well.
Just as Li Mo was about to move with the film crew, she received a call from Huanrui.
Huanrui took the initiative to arrange a meeting with Li Mo, and it just so happened that Li Mo was available during the period when the film crew was relocating.
So he agreed, and the two naturally arranged to meet in the capital.
Li Mo set off that very day, leaving Yang Chaoyue and Lao Wang behind on set, so they could report back to Li Mo on what was happening on set.
When Li Mo arrived in the capital, it was already pitch black.
Dilraba was still filming on set at that time. In fact, she didn't have many scenes in that drama, and her scenes had already been filmed.
But since she doesn't have much work right now, and she'd just be sitting around anyway, she might as well stay on set and study properly.
Moreover, she told Li Mo that she had met a sister on set, and their relationship developed very quickly.
We've become best friends, and we always chat together after each shoot.
We can introduce her to everyone later; she's supposedly a rich and beautiful woman.
I wonder if this best friend will follow in Li Xirui's footsteps.
Because the new house hasn't been fully moved into yet, Li Mo can't enter Reba's old house either.
So even in the capital, Li Mo always stayed in hotels, mainly because he didn't want to go to Qin Lan's house; if he did, he would be exposed.
If I happen to run into them, I won't have a moment's peace tonight.
As soon as Li Mo entered the hotel, his phone received a notification.
The message came from Manager Wang of Huanrui. This person is the one who has been in contact with Li Mo at Huanrui.
Li Mo is not yet qualified to directly deal with other people's bosses for everything.
"Hello Mr. Li Mo, here is some basic information about the new drama 'The Lost Tomb', including character introductions, story outline, and other information. You can take a look at it briefly."
Li Mo replied: Got it!
So it was filming a movie?
Li Mo remembered; it must be the job she had discussed with Huanrui before, a new drama that required her to work with Li Yifeng again.
So fast?
The filming of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" has only just wrapped up, right? Is this the power of big companies to provide resources?
Then look at Jiaxing, sigh, Big Secret is really disappointing, the gap is just too big.
The speed at which they acquire resources is simply incredible!
Li Mo mentally criticized Jiaxing once again. As for why Li Mo didn't compare it with Woxing, it can only be said that this is the difference between a biological child and a roadside product.
Soon an electronic document was sent over. It didn't contain much information; it was more like a project plan.
This drama is adapted from the wildly popular novel "The Lost Tomb: The Seven Star Lu Palace" by Nanpai Sanshu. It was filmed in Beijing and also had scenes shot in Tibet.
The series consists of 12 episodes, with a total investment of 60 million yuan, and stars Li Yifeng and Tang Yan.
Actually, Li Yifeng is alright; at least he can pull off looking cool and stylish.
But Li Mozhen had some doubts about Tang Yan's acting skills, feeling that she was more suited to roles like the naive and innocent type.
It's unclear what kind of chemistry she'll create in this role.
Besides the male and female leads, Li Mo continued to look at the other characters, and to be honest, there weren't many suitable ones for her later on.
Either their screen time is too short, or the character is unsuitable.
A fat man, a third uncle, the only one suitable for Li Mo is Zhang Qiling, the last patriarch of the Zhang family, who possesses the blood of the Qilin.
He's considered to be at the top of the team in terms of combat power, and Li Mo quite likes him.
A mysterious background, coupled with his ruthless and taciturn nature.
Not bad!
Now that he had a target in mind, Li Mo began to learn about this person.
To be honest, the only challenge for Li Mo in playing this character was actually the action scenes.
As for the dramatic scenes, Li Mo wasn't really worried, since his previous senior brother, Ling Yue, had some similarities with this character.
Of course, these two characters only have similarities. Compared to the senior brother, Zhang Qiling is a more tragic character.
Extremely taciturn by nature, rarely showing emotions, born with amnesia, and constantly searching for traces of his own existence.
Although both are at the pinnacle of martial arts prowess, the eldest brother's strength is due to his talent, while Zhang Qiling's strength is somewhat due to the helplessness of being the last patriarch of the Zhang family.
Li Mo was busy until 2 a.m. before he finally gained a basic understanding of the character.
Li Mo is actually more dedicated to acting than to singing; at least he puts his heart and soul into studying each role.
As for singing, that's purely a matter of talent! (Or you could call it a natural ability)
I rubbed my sore eyes and prepared to take a shower and go to bed.
buzzing...
My phone buzzed with a message. I opened it and saw it was from Reba, who couldn't sleep: "When are you wrapping up filming? We need to go home, move into our new place, and buy furniture..."
All sorts of messages kept coming in.
In summary: I miss you!
Li Mo took out his phone, wondering why this girl was still awake so late.
"The filming is probably halfway done, but why are you still up so late? Speaking of moving, you could choose a place yourself after you get back to Beijing, so you don't have to spend all day choosing one."
The reply came incredibly quickly, as if they hadn't expected Li Mo to still be awake. Normally, at this time, Li Mo wouldn't be out filming at night and would have been asleep long ago.
"It's almost halfway done? That's fast!"
"I can't sleep... I haven't seen you in a while, I miss you... Yao Yao [shy]"
"That's true, then I really need to go back soon. I can't stay on this set any longer."
Hotba sent me three text messages, which also made me more prone to getting horny late at night…
But Li Mo also missed Reba a little; he felt like he had been separated from Reba for a while.
The longer Li Mo plays Jiang He, the more you feel the character's own charm, but also his genuine frustration.
Sometimes, being a good person requires ability, but Jiang He doesn't even know how to be a good person.
He can't save anyone; in fact, he needs to be saved by others.
So, as Li Mo continued acting, she sometimes really needed to release some pressure, otherwise she would easily get too immersed in the role and not be able to get out of it.
"I happen to be free these next couple of days and can accept a flight from anywhere in the country!"
Li Mo recalled the scene where he reenacted the moment when Jiang He treasured the card of Su Mi.
"Really? You're not kidding me."
The unexpected surprise made Reba overlook the oddity of the statement. That's how long-distance relationships are; you can feel happy just from a simple meeting.
However, it's understandable, since this meeting involves a deal worth hundreds of millions.
"Why would I lie to you? Just tell me your location. I'll go there after I finish discussing the collaboration with Huanrui tomorrow. When you leave the film set, just book a room and wait for me."
There was no shopping, no atmosphere, only real, hard-fought battle!
Regarding this pace, all Reba can say is: It's a big city, the pace is fast, I can understand!
Who has time to go out to see a movie, have a meal, drink some wine, or chat about life ideals... Fighting is all about having fun!
The two then chatted for a while about their meeting, including what to wear and the time...
As they chatted, Li Mo noticed that the replies on the other end were gradually slowing down, so he deduced that Reba was probably getting sleepy and ended the conversation.
After putting down his phone, Changshu breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally taken a good shower.
Lying in bed, Li Mo pondered the recent events that had occurred.
I'm wondering where to go next after this triple explosion of albums, movies, and TV series.
Then he thought of Li Xin's request, and for some reason, Li Mo also had trouble sleeping.
In fact, Li Mo also wanted to complete Li Xin's request as soon as possible, but the problem was that her request required too many things.
On the one hand, Li Mo needs to free up his schedule, and on the other hand, he also needs to go to the Peninsula to resolve the copyright issues.
This actually prompted Li Mo to start thinking about when he would start preparing to organize his own games.
In the entertainment industry, once your career reaches a certain stage, organizing your own events becomes inevitable.
Those who lack ambition and ability might just set up their own studio in a secluded courtyard, live off their past achievements, and disappear from the entertainment industry once their popularity fades.
There are too many examples to list; Wang Luodan is a typical one.
Those who lack ambition but have decent abilities usually take advantage of their current level of fame to prepare for monetization in advance.
For example, some small shops are opened, among which hot pot restaurants are the hardest hit.
Another option is to set up a film and television company and leverage industry connections to make some simple commercial moves.
For example, investing in small productions alongside others, or signing a few artists.
As for examples, well, there seem to be many more.
As for those who are ambitious but lack ability, their fate largely depends on whether they can encounter a benefactor.
Many people who end up badly are like this: they can't see themselves clearly, yet they insist on creating their own problems.
It's important to understand that investing in a movie or film is a huge investment for artists, and if they lose, it can be devastating.
Zhang Guoli, for example, is a senior figure in the industry with a good status.
He could organize his own gambling, but he didn't have enough funds, so he started betting against others, and as a result, he still had to pay off his debts at the age of seventy.
Deng Chao and Li Chen are the same; they both exhausted their connections and funds, but in the end, things didn't go well for them.
Of course, there are successful people in the entertainment industry, but to be honest, Yang Mi doesn't even belong to this category.
Actually, she belongs to the type who is ambitious but lacks ability.
The real example here is Wu Jing. Regardless of whether his reputation is good or bad, he has indeed become the kind of person that all artists dream of.
Of course, this also applies to wielding power.
However, none of these four types of people are Li Mo's targets.
Li Mo never denied his ambition; he wanted to truly master something.
Once you have access to powerful promotional resources like Weibo, you're truly invincible in the entertainment industry.
Let the storm rage, I remain steadfast on my fishing platform.
Traffic flows back and forth, generation after generation, but there will only be one highest peak.
It's fair to say that as long as you have these resources, you're invincible in the entertainment industry.
Even if Weibo fails in the future and is no longer the platform with the most traffic, it will still be an undeniable force in the entertainment industry.
Lost in thought, Li Mo slowly drifted off to sleep.
The next day, Li Mo slept until he naturally woke up before getting up to get ready and wash up.
Huanrui did not arrange a specific time with Li Mo, but Li Mo guessed that the other party was not a diligent person.
Arriving too early wouldn't make a difference, so there was no rush. I arrived at the location around 10:00 AM.
Unexpectedly, today was an audition. Li Mo naturally didn't need to audition, but he still mingled in the crowd.
To be honest, it's quite interesting. He was wearing a hat, a mask, and sunglasses, so no one noticed.
He listened to the whispers among the people in the room, and a sense of tension lingered in everyone's hearts.
Moreover, what they were looking for wasn't any particularly important role, but merely a role that Li Mo had rejected.
Only when he looked at them did Li Mo realize how far he had come.
Li Mo randomly found a corner to sit in, took out the documents from his bag, and tried his best to imitate them.
Not long after, a cold-looking person appeared next to Li Mo.
Oh, right, he has a very sharp jawline and is quite short.
This was Li Mo's first impression of him. He was accompanied by several people, who were obviously from the same company as him.
One of them came over and greeted Li Mo:
"Dude, are you here for an audition too?"
Although Li Mo wasn't auditioning, she still felt that this person might not be very bright.
Normally, would there be anything else to do in this room?
The other person suddenly realized there was something wrong with what they said, slapped their forehead, and asked again:
"Dude, which role did you audition for?"
"Zhang Qiling".
Li Mo didn't fool him and told him the truth.
"Zhang Qiling..."
The other person raised an eyebrow, relieved to realize that they were glad they weren't playing the same role as the other person.
He was even somewhat relieved, because not only was the other person not in the same role as him, but was also a competitor of the person next to him.
"Brother, let me introduce you. His name is Yang Yang, and he's also here to audition for the role of Zhang Qiling."
Li Mo looked up and his eyes met Yang Yang's.
There's no real threat.
This was Li Mo's second impression of him.
"He's very handsome, quite suitable for Zhang Qiling." Li Mo smiled.
