Huayu: Starting with living with a girl from Taiwan

Wuji Mo's scenes have ended, but the entire "Basketball Fire" crew has not yet wrapped up filming.

We still need to shoot some more everyday scenes.

However, Wuji Ink is offline!

Lin Mo happened to have some free time to prepare for the recording of the show the day after tomorrow.

Although the last episode of "Super Star Avenue" consisted entirely of cover songs, the ratings still steadily climbed.

Lin Mo, Zeng Peici, Xiao Jingteng, Lin Youjia, Yang Zongwei... each contestant has their own highlights and fans, keeping the show's popularity high.

In the evening, Show Lo hosted a small wrap party for Lin Mo, inviting a few familiar actors and staff members.

The atmosphere was relaxed, and everyone chatted and laughed.

However, for some reason, Chiang Yi suddenly started crying.

Near the end, Lin Mo received a call from Lan Xinmei.

"Xiao Lin, tonight is the finale of 'The X-Family,' and the ratings are off the charts! The crew is having a wrap party tomorrow, why don't you come join the fun? After all, you did have a special appearance as the 'Flame Messenger'!"

Lan Xinmei's voice came through, as cheerful and enthusiastic as ever.

Lin Mo thought about it and realized he didn't have anything planned for tomorrow:

"Okay, Aunt Lan, I'm fine."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo felt a mix of emotions.

Looking back on these past few months, I realize I've been walking on thin ice.

In the beginning, she was taken in and supported by Zeng Peici, a "little rich woman".

Later, Chai Zhiping took a liking to him and asked him to make a guest appearance in the "The Ultimate Family" series. Then, through Ge Fuhong's introduction, he got the role in "Kung Fu Dunk".

The studio was able to be established thanks in no small part to the help of those two.

He got to where he is today entirely through his own hard work!

And a tiny bit... of help from a rich woman!

Lin Mo touched his chin, his feelings were a bit complicated.

This experience could practically be included as an unconventional case study in the "University Student Employment Guide"—a story about how to gain the appreciation and support of several outstanding women through one's own efforts.

Yes, that's very inspiring.

He silently defined himself.

Nothing much happened the next day, so Lin Mo slept in late, a rare occurrence. After getting up, he sat on the sofa and browsed the news.

There's a lot of online discussion about the finale of "The Ultimate Family," so he casually searched for the role he played, "Flame Messenger."

Sure enough, there were clips and screenshots, and the comment section was quite lively:

"The Flamebringer is so cool! It's just that he has too little screen time!"

"The pinnacle of combat power, brimming with prestige!"

"Lin Mo plays this aloof character surprisingly well, that's impressive!"

Lin Mo also clicked on the clip and watched it himself.

In the scene, he's dressed in all black, expressionless, spouting cringeworthy lines, then blasts the main characters away with a single palm strike...

He watched with great interest; it was a truly wonderful feeling.

It felt like watching another version of myself in another time and space.

Zeng Peici, who had just finished brushing her teeth, also came over to watch, covering her mouth and laughing:

"So cringey... but Amo, you acted really well!"

Lin Mo smiled, rubbed her thigh with his hand, and continued browsing entertainment news.

Suddenly, a newly refreshed headline popped up, its title bold and very eye-catching:

Breaking News! Popular singer Tank (Lü Jianzhong) terminates contract with HIM International Music, potentially facing hefty breach of contract penalties!

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and clicked on it.

The news report was simple: it confirmed that Tank had indeed terminated his contract with HIM International Music. The specific amount of compensation was not disclosed, but it was speculated to be a substantial sum.

Why did Tank suddenly terminate his contract?

Zeng Peici also saw it and was somewhat surprised.

Tank has been very popular these past two years.

Songs like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," "Tears of a Thousand Years," and "Exclusive Angel" were very popular, and he was in the prime of his career.

He has been hailed by Taiwanese media as someone comparable to Jay Chou.

Lin Mo had a rough idea of ​​the reason, and he quickly opened Tank's blog.

The latest update was posted ten minutes ago, consisting of only one short sentence:

"I'm tired and need to rest. Thank you to all my friends who support me."

Lin Mo thought for a moment and then dialed Tank's number.

The phone rang a few times before being answered. Tank's voice was much calmer than Lin Mo had expected:

"Hello, Lin Mo?"

"Brother Lü, I saw the news." Lin Mo asked directly, "What happened? Are you alright?"

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone before Tank sighed:

"The doctor advised me to rest and recover properly. I discussed with the company that I wanted to suspend my commercial performances for a while, but the company disagreed. After several unsuccessful attempts to reach an agreement, I proposed terminating the contract."

Lin Mo was at a loss for words.

He could actually understand the situation.

Tank signed with HIM International Music in 05 and released two best-selling albums in two years.

In other words, now is the time to make money!

At this critical juncture, why are the artists saying they need to take a break?

In the eyes of record companies, it's no different from a cash cow saying it wants to stop growing.

Trying to reason with capital is ridiculous.

That's the difference between being a beast of burden and being a boss.

With contracts in hand, artists often have little control over their own lives.

This is why Lin Mo was willing to go through all the trouble to establish his own studio.

"The penalty for breach of contract... must be quite a sum, right?" Lin Mo asked.

"Fortunately, the past two years weren't a complete waste of time," Tank said, feigning nonchalance as he tried to comfort Lin Mo.

"It's okay, I think you're right. Health is the most important thing; money can be earned again."

"......"

Did I say that?

Lin Mo thought to himself.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, but Tank seemed to have something else to do and hung up the phone.

Lin Mo put down his phone and pondered for a moment.

I logged into my blog and left a comment under Tank's latest post:

"Get some rest and recover soon. We'll be waiting for you to come back so we can sing together. @Tank吕建忠"

His comment was quickly discovered by fans and the media and was rapidly pushed to the top of the trending list.

The news of Tank's contract termination with HIM International Music still sparked discussion across much of Taiwan's entertainment industry.

Some people felt sorry for them, some were puzzled, and some secretly lamented the helplessness behind the glamorous image of celebrities.

In the evening, Lin Mo went to the celebration banquet of the "The Ultimate Family" crew.

Lin Mo only found out when he arrived.

It was called a victory celebration banquet, but it wasn't an official one.

It was organized by Lan Xinmei, the eldest sister.

So even the director of "The Ultimate Family" didn't come; only a few actors showed up.

Wang Dongcheng, Calvin Chen, Aaron Yan, and Dong Cheng Wei.

There was even... Jia Jingwen, who greeted him at that moment.

"Lin Mo, long time no see~" Jia Jingwen walked over with a smile and greeted him.

"Teacher Jingwen." Lin Mo was briefly taken aback before looking at Jia Jingwen, whose outfit tonight was quite eye-catching.

The bright red, deep-V sleeveless jumpsuit revealed her ample cleavage, while a stylish brown choker adorned her neck, and star earrings swayed gently with her movements.

Her slender calves were visible beneath the skirt, and her toes, painted with pink nail polish, were faintly visible beneath her high-heeled sandals, giving her a radiant and captivating queen-like presence.

"Don't call me teacher."

Jia Jingwen giggled, her eyes sparkling.

"This isn't a TV show, just call me 'sister'."

She took a step forward, lowered her voice, and spoke with a hint of reproach.

"You really know how to write stories; you actually made me cry that day."

As she spoke, she seemed to want to show the "evidence," lifting her toes slightly, revealing faint, dark purple bruises on her toes that had not yet faded.

Lin Mo: "..."

Thank you, I won't eat.
