Huayu: Starting with living with a girl from Taiwan

On the taxi ride home, Lin Mo opened the script and quickly browsed through the character settings and scenes of Xiao Lan.

The more I look at it, the clearer I understand.

As a basketball enthusiast, he must have watched "Kung Fu Dunk".

For moviegoers, this is indeed a "bad movie".

A 5.6 rating on Douban has a certain human touch to it.

Lin Mo had some recollection of the plot.

The character 【Xiao Lan】has quite a lot of screen time.

Moreover, Lin Mo discovered that the roles he had taken on in the dramas—the Flame Messenger in "The Ultimate Family," Wu Ji Mo in "Hot Shot," and Xiao Lan in "Kung Fu Dunk"—were all quite different.

They all seem to be labeled as "handsome" or "aloof".

"Is this going to force me to run wild down the road of being a professional show-off..." Lin Mo thought to himself.

But there's nothing wrong with it.

Playing these kinds of roles well is still very advantageous at this stage; you can gradually expand your acting range later.

However, a rough estimate suggests that the filming period will take at least half a month.

This is completely different from his original plan to "make a guest appearance for two days".

"I need to reschedule..." Lin Mo thought to himself.

The competition on "Super Star Avenue" cannot stop.

Filming for "Hot Shot" is scheduled for next month, and now "Kung Fu Dunk" has also become a major production...

Time management has become the biggest challenge today.

I need to ask the little pig for some advice.

As Lin Mo was thinking, his phone rang.

It's Angie Chai.

"Hey, Sister Chai."

"Lin Mo, how did the audition go?" Chai Zhiping's voice was filled with laughter, clearly indicating that she already knew the result.

"Thanks to Sister Chai, I got the role of the third male lead," Lin Mo said.

"That's good." Chai Zhiping paused, then continued, "Sister Ge happened to be having a meeting at the Grand Hyatt today, and I mentioned it to her. It's nothing serious."

"Thank you, Mr. Ge."

"Yes." Angie Chai's tone softened. "In addition, the adaptation rights for 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' have been finalized; it's a one-time buyout. The contract will be signed in the next couple of days."

"So fast?" Lin Mo was somewhat surprised.

"Sister Ge personally made the arrangements, and the other party was very cooperative," Chai Zhiping chuckled.

"In Taiwan, Sister Ge's reputation is still very valuable."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo understood.

This is the power of top-tier resources.

Now he's really become a resource-rich person.

Lin Mo couldn't help but think of a classic line from the famous actor Wen:

"I'm doing so well, brother."

......

However, it's definitely time to put a fitness plan on the agenda.

After finishing her singing practice in the afternoon, Zeng Peici had an elective class to attend in the evening.

Lin Mo then parted ways with Jam Hsiao and went to a well-regarded gym in downtown Taipei by herself.

The receptionist was a young woman with a ponytail and a slightly chubby face, who was looking down at her phone.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up and her eyes lit up when she saw Lin Mo.

"Hello! Welcome!"

She quickly stood up, looking slightly agitated.

What a handsome guy...

He was tall, and his face was incredibly handsome.

"What kind of course would you like to learn about?" the receptionist asked, trying to sound professional.

"We offer monthly, quarterly, and annual memberships, as well as private coaching sessions..."

She took out a price list and introduced each item one by one.

Lin Mo glanced at the price.

It's really not cheap.

It's not that he's short of money—Angie Chai is very trustworthy; the payment for "The Ultimate Family" has already arrived, and the advance payment for "Hot Shot" has also been transferred.

He currently has several hundred thousand New Taiwan Dollars in his bank account.

But he remained wary of gym annual memberships.

The answer is that you suffered a loss in your past life.

Once the gym collects the annual fee, the owner's donations disappear, leaving members with no recourse for complaints.

"Let's go with the monthly pass," Lin Mo said.

"Okay!" The receptionist quickly registered the information, but couldn't help glancing at him a few more times.

"Um...do you need personal training? We have professional coaches here..."

"Not for now, I'll practice on my own first." Lin Mo took the monthly card and locker key. "Thank you."

"No, you're welcome." The receptionist blushed slightly. "The changing rooms are over there, turn left."

......

After changing his clothes, Lin Mo walked to the equipment area.

He mainly wants to work out his chest and shoulders today.

Basketball players need to have broad shoulders, a thick chest, and smooth muscle lines in their arms and calves to look good in sleeveless jerseys.

I did a warm-up set first, then did a bench press.

The weight wasn't heavy at first, but the movements were standard and the rhythm was well controlled.

The receptionist pretended to organize documents while secretly glancing this way.

Lin Mo was wearing a gray, tight-fitting long-sleeved sportswear. Sweat gradually soaked the fabric, outlining the clear contours of his chest and arms.

Xiao Mei couldn't help but swallow.

That figure is absolutely amazing!

Those well-proportioned, flowing, and powerful lines, combined with that face...

"No, no, I'm a professional..." The receptionist shook her head vigorously, trying to bring her attention back to her work.

But his eyes still honestly glanced in that direction.

"Oh well, never mind, I need to go to the toilet, I need to pee."

......

Lin Mo was practicing with great concentration when he suddenly heard someone call his name from behind.

"Xiaolin?"

The voice sounds familiar.

Lin Mo stopped what he was doing and looked back.

A beautiful, mature woman with tanned skin and a voluptuous figure, wearing purple yoga pants and a white bodysuit, appeared behind him, looking somewhat surprised.

"Brother Xiong?" Lin Mo was somewhat surprised.

The person who arrived was Lan Xinmei, the actress who played "Xiong Ge" in the TV series "The Ultimate Family".

During the few days Lin Mo spent on set, he was well-liked by Lan Xinmei because of his good looks, kind personality, and willingness to learn.

She even wanted to adopt Lin Mo as her godson, but Lin Mo politely declined, saying, "I want to live a few more years."

After all, Xiong Ge's character in the show, who is always "killing people while cooking," is too deeply ingrained in people's minds.

"What are you doing working out here?" Lan Xinmei walked over and looked him up and down. "Got a new role?"

"Yeah, I took on a basketball-themed movie role, and I want to get in shape," Lin Mo said.

"A basketball movie? Is it Director Zhu's Kung Fu Slam Dunk?" Lan Xinmei asked, raising an eyebrow.

"right."

"Not bad, Lin Mo." Lan Xinmei patted his shoulder, taking the opportunity to rub him in. "You've already made it into the film industry so quickly."

Just then, Xiaomei, the receptionist who had just finished using the restroom, saw what was happening. Ignoring her still-wet hands, she rushed over and said somewhat nervously:

"Boss, do you know this gentleman?"

Boss?

Lin Mo was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant.

By the way, Lan Xinmei is not only successful in the entertainment industry, but also excels in the business world.

In addition to being the general agent for Adidas in mainland China and Taiwan, it also has investments in various fields such as real estate, catering, and entertainment.

It turns out that this shop is her business.

"Big breasts and a smart head too..." Lin Mo muttered to himself, "Who said big breasts mean no brains? This woman, who is usually so carefree, is clearly a model of a strong woman who has both intelligence and a great figure."

Lan Xinmei glanced at the receptionist: "This is my friend. From now on, when he comes to the gym, the bill will be on my tab."

Lin Mo waved his hand, about to refuse.

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Lan Xinmei smiled, her hand wandering over his arm again. "You call me Brother Xiong, how could I possibly take your money?"

"Also, 'The Ultimate Family' has finished filming and will be broadcast soon, so stop calling him Xiong Ge. Either call him Godmother or Aunt Lan."

Lan Xinmei looked at him with a mocking expression.
