The Entertainment Industry in Turmoil: Young Actresses All Want to Rise to the Top

Chapter 350 Who's Taking Advantage of Whom? [Two Chapters Combined, Bonus Chapter 33]

In front of the Ink Trace Building, Wu Jingzheng stood by the flower bed, his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with struggle.

A year ago, "Wolf Warrior," which was produced, directed, and starred by Mohen, achieved a box office success of 11.2 billion yuan.

Logically speaking, the profits earned from this film should have been enough to fund the initial production of the sequel, "Wolf Warrior 2".

But when it came down to the final step, he hesitated.

"What if—we lose money?"

His hard-earned wealth could be wiped out in an instant.

Moreover, the copyright for "Wolf Warrior" is still held by Mohen Pictures.

Even more fatally, the reason why the first film was able to attract so many viewers to the theater was largely due to Li Yitong's terrifying national-level traffic and popularity.

If Li Yitong isn't in the second season, her viewership and exposure will be at least halved.

If Wu Jing dares to bypass Mohen Pictures and secretly film the sequel under a different name, given Mohen's current influence in the entertainment industry, he might not even be able to secure a theatrical release if things really come down to it.

After much deliberation, Wu Jing decided to cooperate honestly with Mohen and not be too greedy as to think about producing the film on his own.

So he contacted Li Yitong, hoping to use her connections to talk to Shen Mo directly.

His demands weren't high; he was willing to co-produce a sequel with Mohen, but he wanted to get a slightly larger share of the investment and have more say in the project.

Just as Wu Jing was about to step into the building, a van stopped at the entrance.

The car door opened, and Chen Zhixi stepped out first in her high heels. Behind her followed a young man carrying a thick folder.

"Brother Jing? What are you doing here?"

Chen Zhixi spotted Wu Jing standing at the door at a glance and greeted him with some surprise.

"Mr. Chen, I've come to talk to Mr. Shen and Yitong about the sequel."

Wu Jing touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly, then his gaze fell on Guo Fan.

"This is—"

"This is director Guo Fan."

Chen Zhixi sighed, his tone tinged with helplessness and hesitation.

"He has a project called 'The Wandering Earth,' which is a science fiction film project."

"The original investor, Wanda, withdrew its investment. He was desperate and came to me, but science fiction projects require too much investment. I thought—I should still bring him to meet President Shen and hear the big boss's opinion."

Upon hearing about science fiction movies, Wu Jing's expression shifted.

In this era where traffic can be generated and any random image can be cut out and sold for hundreds of millions, it's surprising that someone is still willing to tackle something as hard as science fiction.

"Let's go, since we're already here, let's go up together."

Chen Zhixi patted Guo Fan on the shoulder, signaling him to follow.

The three of them entered the elevator together. In the narrow space, Chen Zhixi remained relatively calm.

Wu Jing was silently calculating how to ask for a share later, while Guo Fan remained silent, pursing his lips, clearly very nervous.

Chen Zhixi led Wu Jing and Guo Fan to the innermost gate with practiced ease and gently knocked on the door.

"Enter."

A clear, yet slightly languid, female voice came from inside.

The voice startled Wu Jing and Guo Fan at the same time; it was a woman's voice.

The moment the door was pushed open, the scene inside froze the two burly men standing at the front, leaving them unsure whether to go in or back.

It turned out that the person sitting in the boss's chair was not Shen Mo, but Li Yitong.

Shen Mo stood behind the boss's chair without any airs, leaned down from behind, and affectionately wrapped his arms around Li Yitong's slender neck, resting his chin on her shoulder.

The two of them were huddled together, looking at the computer screen on the table. To anyone who saw them, they looked like a sweet couple in the throes of new love, playfully teasing each other.

The door was pushed open, and Shen Mo and Li Yitong looked up at the same time.

There was no embarrassment at being caught in the act in Shen Mo's eyes, but rather a playful smile.

Li Yitong blushed slightly and pinched Shen Mo's arm lightly, but she didn't get up from the boss's chair.

This scene completely baffled Wu Jing and Guo Fan.

Even the most formally married couples in the industry will deliberately keep their distance in serious places like the company.

But these two in front of us are practically slapping their public displays of affection right in everyone's faces.

"Um—Mr. Shen, Yitong, how about we—come back later?"

Wu Jing blushed and tried to pull Guo Fan back.

"It's nothing, what's the big deal?"

Chen Zhixi, on the other hand, was already used to it.

She casually walked past the two of them and went straight inside.

"Won't this bother you?" Guo Fan swallowed hard and asked nervously.

"Brother Jing, come in!"

Li Yitong chuckled and waved her hand, calling out.

"I was just afraid of disturbing your sweet time together."

Wu Jing laughed awkwardly and forced himself to step inside.

"No, we're looking at project materials right now, otherwise we wouldn't know what to talk about with you guys later."

Li Yitong patted the "Wolf Warrior 2" document on the table, raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"Brother Jing, you're pretty quick with the sequel."

"Director Guo, please come in and have a seat."

Shen Mo then slowly straightened up, casually pulled over a chair next to him, and naturally sat down beside Li Yitong.

Seeing Li Yitong's unmoved demeanor, as if she were the mistress of the house, Wu Jing and Guo Fan couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.

Rumors in the industry say that Li Yitong is the boss's wife of Mohen, but after meeting her today, it's clear that she's more than just the boss's wife.

The group pulled over chairs and sat down.

Wu Jing's matter was discussed very quickly, even more smoothly than he had imagined.

"President Shen, Yitong, the success of the first film is entirely due to the company's publicity and Yitong's popularity."

Wu Jing was a straightforward person, and since he was already seated, he decided to get straight to the point.

"For the second movie, I want to do something even bigger, with upgraded scenes, explosions, and action."

"I'd like to ask if the company could give me a slightly higher investment percentage; I'd like 20%."

When Wu Jing said the number "20%", he was actually feeling nervous.

In the traditional film production system, even for directors who also star in the film, it is extremely difficult to take away 20% of the investment share, which is equivalent to taking away a huge slice of the profit.

Major investors would never allow such a thing to happen, especially since the copyright is still in the hands of Mohen.

He was mentally prepared for Shen Mo to bargain with him or even refuse him.

However, Shen Mo, who was sitting in the main seat, only exchanged a glance with Li Yitong, and Li Yitong nodded slightly to Shen Mo.

The two had actually discussed it before the others arrived.

Li Yitong and Shen Mo knew all too well the terrifying cinematic miracle that "Wolf Warrior 2" had created in their previous lives.

A box office phenomenon of 56.9 billion yuan!

That's someone who single-handedly boosted the overall Chinese-language film market by several orders of magnitude.

If someone else were to direct and act in it, they might not be able to replicate this success.

So, let alone giving Wu Jing a 20% share, even if you give him 30%, Mohen would make a lot of money just by lying down. What's more, you can also do him a favor.

"Can."

Shen Mo nodded. "Brother Jing, I approve the 20% share."

"As for the female lead—"

Shen Mo turned his head and glanced at Li Yitong beside him.

"Yi Tong will continue to act in it, what do you think?"

"Oh! Thank you, Mr. Shen! Thank you, Yitong!"

Wu Jing slapped his thigh, so excited he almost jumped off the sofa.

"I've already reserved the female lead for Yitong. If I change it, I'm afraid the fans of the last movie will kill me."

He never expected that the negotiation, which he thought would be harder than climbing to heaven, would be resolved in less than three minutes with Shen Mo, and he received the perfect answer!

"Brother Jing, let me know in advance when filming starts," Li Yitong said with a smile.

Wu Jing nodded with a radiant smile, a huge weight lifted from his chest.

After discussing Wu Jing's matter, everyone's attention immediately turned to Guo Fan.

Shen Mo turned his head: "Director Guo, let's talk about your project."

Guo Fan took a deep breath, pulled out a thick stack of concept art and storyboards from the folder in his pocket, and spread them out in front of Shen Mo and Li Yitong.

"President Shen, President Li, I want to pull off a big heist."

Guo Fan's voice was filled with obvious excitement as soon as he spoke.

He pointed to the giant machines on the design drawings, which exuded an industrial feel, and his eyes blazed with fervor.

"The first reaction of all investors in China to hear the word 'science fiction' is to shake their heads."

"In their eyes, Chinese science fiction is equivalent to cheap special effects and bad movies that are just a way to rip people off."

"They'd rather spend hundreds of millions to hire young, handsome actors to act out romances in front of a green screen than spend a single penny to build our own heavy-industry film system!"

Guo Fan became more and more excited as he spoke, and his original tension and unease disappeared completely.

"The core of Western science fiction is escape."

"When Earth was about to be destroyed, their idea was to build a spaceship, take a small group of elites, and abandon Earth to escape into space."

"But our Chinese culture is not like that!"

"Deep in our bones is a deep attachment to the land, a strong sense of national pride and patriotism!"

"The core of 'The Wandering Earth' is this: when Earth faces a desperate situation, we must take billions of our compatriots underground, our home, and the Earth with us on a journey through the universe!"

"I want to make a science fiction film that belongs to the Chinese people!"

"I'm going to shut up all those people who praise Hollywood movies and look down on Chinese science fiction films!!"

It must be said that Guo Fan has excellent eloquence, and he carries the purest and most genuine passion for filmmaking.

Sitting to the side, Wu Jing watched Guo Fan speaking eloquently and gradually fell into deep thought.

He seemed to see a reflection of himself in Guo Fan, when he mortgaged his property to make "Wolf Warrior" and was still met with cold ridicule from everyone.

The same isolation and helplessness, the same desperate gamble.

Wu Jing's chest heaved violently, and a surge of hot blood rushed to his head.

For a fleeting moment, he had the urge to pat his chest and say to Guo Fan.

"Bro, whatever you need, I'll support you!"

But before he could finish speaking, Wu Jing suddenly realized what he had said.

He gave a bitter laugh and silently swallowed his words.

This is Mohen, and sitting opposite him is Shen Mo, whose net worth is in the hundreds of billions.

In the face of such a behemoth, it's not his place as a director who just secured investment to act like a big shot.

Shen Mo and Li Yitong, who were seated in the main seats, listened calmly.

In their past lives, as witnesses to that cinematic miracle, both of them were all too aware of the kind of legend this man had created.

"The Wandering Earth," a pioneering work of Chinese science fiction, grossed 46.9 billion yuan at the box office.

Shen Mo looked at the concept drawings of planetary engines on the table, which, although somewhat immature, were already taking shape, and slowly began to speak.

"Director Guo, your idea is excellent."

"You already had Zhixi give us these documents before."

"We feel it's not quite perfect yet, and we have some thoughts we'd like to discuss with you."

Guo Fan was taken aback and nodded in surprise.

"For example, have you ever imagined the ecosystem of an underground city?"

"When humans move underground, heavy industry, underground city transportation, and even the most basic food supply will be affected."

"I noticed that your document doesn't provide a detailed description, which might make the audience feel less involved."

"Perhaps you think that using earthworms to make dried fruit and snacks would allow the audience to more intuitively feel the difference between modern life and underground city life."

Have you considered details like this?

Guo Fan's eyes lit up, but before he could react, Li Yitong, who was sitting next to him, smiled slightly and added softly.

"Also, the mechanical aesthetics of planetary engines should be more hardcore."

"The refraction effect of the ejected plasma beam as it passes through the atmosphere, and —"

"If Earth is to use Jupiter's gravitational slingshot effect to accelerate, the visual impact of being so close to a gas giant must be maximized."

"Did your special effects team calculate the physical models for these?"

In that instant, Guo Fan's brain felt as if it had been struck by countless thunderbolts!

He stared blankly at Shen Mo and Li Yitong in front of him.

Dried earthworms? Jupiter's gravitational slingshot? The physical refraction of plasma beams?!

Many of these details are still just vague concepts in his mind, and have not yet been put on paper!

But these two people in front of him actually pointed it out to him directly.

This isn't some investor; this is his soulmate!

Guo Fan's breathing became extremely rapid, and his eyes as he looked at Shen Mo and Li Yitong instantly filled with admiration and fervor.

In a moment of impulsiveness, his latent "cyber Daji" talent for begging for alms awakened.

"President Shen! President Li!"

Guo Fan suddenly stood up and extended an invitation with great excitement.

"A kindred spirit! Truly a kindred spirit!"

"How about we discuss the details of the script more thoroughly?"

"Or—why don't you two make a cameo appearance in my movie?"

"My role is definitely not big; I'll just be a cameo as the parents of the male and female leads."

"Just a few snippets, appearing in the protagonist's childhood memories and photos, will suffice!"

"Please, with your good looks and charisma, the soul of this show is guaranteed!"

"Pfft—"

'

Upon hearing this, Li Yitong, who was sitting in the boss's chair, finally couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand and let out a very clear laugh.

Shen Mo shook his head, somewhat amused and exasperated, his eyes full of mockery.

Good heavens, the gears of history have turned and turned back to us.

In his previous life, everyone on the internet knew that Guo Fan, the "Cyber ​​Daji," had tricked Wu Jing into joining the film crew by claiming that he would only be making a guest appearance for a few days and that his role was small.

After joining the crew, Wu Jing's cameo role turned into a leading role. As the lead role progressed, it was discovered that the production team was out of money. In the end, Wu Jing not only did not receive any payment, but also had to pay an additional 60 million yuan to join the crew.

He went from a small guest appearance to one of the biggest investors.

Today, this "cyber Daji" actually set her sights on Shen Mo and Li Yitong.

Shen Mo leaned back and teased him with a half-smile.

"Director Guo, your movie hasn't even started filming yet, and you're already thinking about cameo appearances?"

Shen Mo's words instantly shattered the bubble of fervor that Guo Fan had been desperately trying to maintain.

money.

The excitement and fervor on Guo Fan's face froze in an instant.

He felt as if his spine had been removed, and he slumped back into his chair, utterly exhausted.

"To be honest, Mr. Shen, Mr. Li, and Brother Jing."

Guo Fan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes reddening instantly, his voice filled with undisguised despair and grievance.

"To raise funds for filming 'The Wandering Earth,' I've emptied out all the savings I've accumulated over the years."

"We sold everything we owned and invested a total of 900 million RMB."

"But compared to this sci-fi movie, 900 million isn't even enough to fill a tooth gap!"

Chen Zhixi, who was sitting to the side, sighed and took over the conversation to explain.

"President Shen, China Film Group was the one who introduced this project, and Wanda Films had originally agreed to invest 100 million RMB."

"With this 100 million, Director Guo dared to expand the business so much. The initial concept design, props and equipment preparation alone have already started to cost money like water."

"But you know the film and television style of Wanda."

"They are looking for quick money and high returns."

"This sci-fi film hasn't even started shooting yet, and just making the exoskeleton costumes for the actors in the movie weighs between 60 and 130 pounds. Each costume takes several weeks to handcraft and costs hundreds of thousands of dollars!"

"Wanda's executives went to the site and took a look. They felt it was a bottomless pit that couldn't be filled. They thought it was burning money too fast, so they notified the production team to withdraw their investment before filming even started."

"I heard they immediately turned around and invested in 'The Love Saint 2'."

"They just packed their bags and left, leaving Director Guo and his entire team, who had been preparing for more than half a year, to wait for their doom."

Chen Zhixi's words exposed the wound that had been left by Guo Fanlai's previous attempts to attract investment.

"President Shen, I'm not reconciled!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Fan, who had nowhere else to turn, could no longer suppress his inner collapse.

This grown man, in his office, in front of everyone, couldn't help but burst into tears and pour out his grievances.

"The team of over two hundred people has been working tirelessly in the factory for months, all for these few outfits and those models!"

"Many people sleep in the prop room every day, and their hands are worn so badly that their fingerprints are gone from being sanded by sandpaper."

"If filming stops now, all the hard work of everyone involved, and this is the only chance for Chinese-language science fiction to even reach the industrial threshold, will be completely wasted!"

"Waaaaahh ...

Guo Fan cried his heart out, tears streaming down his haggard face.

As a fellow reborn person, Li Yitong couldn't help but recall what Wu Jing had said in her previous life when she saw this scene.

Guo Fan cried his eyes out in front of him, making him feel guilty, so he took on a cameo role and became the lead actor, and even invested money in the project.

Although she felt sympathy, Li Yitong's lips almost twitched uncontrollably due to the intense emotion.

She took a deep breath, suppressing a laugh, and asked with some confusion.

"Director Guo, since you've put so much effort into preparing this project, then let's begin—"

"Why didn't you think of coming to our Ink Trace Pictures to attract investment?"

"In the industry, when it comes to the willingness to spend money and support new directors, Mohen shouldn't be any less generous than Wan Da, right?"

Upon hearing Li Yitong's question, Guo Fan seemed to have his throat choked, and his sobs stopped abruptly.

He froze on the spot for a moment.

awkward.

In fact, when Shen Mo learned that the copyright was held by China Film Group, he had Chen Zhixi contact them to try to take over the rights to "The Wandering Earth".

However, China Film Group had already authorized Guo Fan to prepare for the project, and Guo Fan acted quickly, using his personal connections to bring in Wanda Pictures.

Shen Mo and Li Yitong lamented at the time, "We've lost a huge watermelon!"

But who could have imagined that things would take such a dramatic turn?

After going around in circles, Guo Fan ended up delivering this golden nugget back to Mohen's doorstep.

"Uh—this—"

Guo Fan awkwardly forced a smile, a bitter one that looked more like a grimace, his eyes darting around as he stammered an explanation.

"Back then—back then, my producer friend had a pretty close relationship with a vice president of Wanda Pictures."

"Moreover, Wanda promised to give us the highest opening week screening rate in the country, so—so I—"

"puff----"

Sitting to the side, Wu Jing watched Guo Fan's ever-changing expressions and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, pressing his fist against his lips.

"Good bastard!" Wu Jing cursed inwardly.

Those thick eyebrows and big eyes, crying so pitifully just now, that acting skills are enough for an actor! I actually fell for this kid's tears!

Shen Mo looked at Guo Fan, whose face was flushed, and shook his head with a smile.

He had no interest in dwelling on past relationships and connections.

In the face of absolute self-interest, these things are trivial.

"Alright, what's past is past."

Shen Mo's smile faded, and he leaned forward slightly, staring directly at Guo Fan.

"Director Guo, after Wanda withdrew its investment, how much more are you lacking now?"

Guo Fan swallowed hard.

Looking at Shen Mo's young yet imposing face, his heart suddenly pounded at 120 beats per minute.

He trembled as he extended a finger, gritted his teeth, and nervously, even unsure of himself, uttered a number.

"At least—at least 6000 million RMB."

"Mr. Shen, with this 6000 million, I guarantee I can finish making the movie!"

When he said the number, Guo Fan stared nervously into Shen Mo's eyes.

6000 million!

Making art films or low-budget comedies is enough to produce five or six movies.

He was really afraid that Shen Mo would think he was a crazy person who was asking for an exorbitant amount, and then have the security guards kick him out.

However, Shen Mo didn't even blink.

"6000 million is not enough."

"Post-production for heavy industrial sci-fi movies is a money pit; you underestimated the cost of rendering facilities."

Under Guo Fan's shocked gaze, Shen Mo continued to speak.

"I initially approved 8000 million RMB in cash for the production team, with Mohen Pictures acting as the largest producer and controlling party."

"As for the specific investment share and subsequent profit sharing, you can talk to Zhixi about it later."

"Also, Director Guo, remember this."

Shen Mo leaned back slightly, a smile curving his lips.

"Go ahead and film. If you need additional investment later, feel free to contact me anytime."

"As long as the quality is up to standard, the cash flow from Mohen is enough to support any of your ambitions."

Guo Fan froze on the spot, and it took him several seconds to process what had happened.

An initial investment of 8000 million?! And if that's not enough, more can be added?!

What kind of amazing investor is this?!

Sitting in the boss's chair, Li Yitong looked at the dumbfounded Guo Fan, a knowing glint in her beautiful eyes.

She remembered clearly that in her previous life, the total investment in "The Wandering Earth" was eventually pushed to around 2.5 million yuan due to continuous delays and upgrades in special effects.

But in this life, now that the plate has fallen into Mohen's hands, she and Shen Mo will naturally not let Guo Fan beg and plead everywhere for food anymore.

Compared to the terrifying box office of over 4 billion yuan that it ultimately garnered in its previous life, the current 80 million yuan is nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

"President Shen—I—"

Guo Fan slowly stood up. He looked at Shen Mo, and tears welled up in his eyes again.

But this time, it wasn't out of despair, but out of excitement and gratitude.

In today's market where everyone scoffs at Chinese-language science fiction.

Shen Mo's 80 million yuan not only saved "The Wandering Earth" but also gave him, the new director of science fiction films, the highest level of recognition and dignity!

On the eve of filming, he shamelessly went to invite some big names in the industry.

He didn't even get to meet top stars like Tony Leung and Andy Lau; their agents simply said they were "unavailable."

It can be said that Shen Mo is Guo Fan's greatest benefactor and mentor in this life!

"Thank you, Mr. Shen! Thank you, Mr. Li!"

Guo Fan bowed deeply to the young man and woman behind the desk.

This bow, weighing more than a thousand pounds, is a filmmaker's purest expression of loyalty to the kindness shown to him.

Shen Mo smiled and gestured for Guo Fan to sit down.

"If we don't make science fiction movies, no one will."

"Someone always has to take the first step."

"This time, let's consider it as our Mohen testing the waters for domestic science fiction films and giving the Chinese film industry a chance to go global."

These words stirred the blood of Wu Jing and Guo Fan, who were standing nearby.

What defines an industry giant? What defines a godfather? This is it!

"By the way, Director Guo."

Shen Mo asked the question seemingly casually.

"Do you have someone in mind for the male and female leads of the movie?"

Guo Fan shuddered instinctively upon hearing this question.

As a director who has been in the industry for so many years, he is all too aware of the unspoken rule of "investors putting people in the loop."

Some newly established directors might curse in their hearts, feeling that capital is insulting art.

But at this moment, Guo Fan's mind was racing, and he shook his head like a rattle drum almost instantly.

No! Absolutely not!

"Mr. Shen, we've only had initial contact with all the potential actors so far; no contracts have been finalized!"

Even though he and the assistant director had discussed which popular young actors and actresses to use to attract fans and boost box office revenue, now, in the face of 80 million yuan in real money, all of that was irrelevant.

Seeing Guo Fan's expression, Li Yitong couldn't help but make a face with her crescent-shaped eyes.

"Director Guo, you don't need to be so nervous. Amo is just making a suggestion. You can interview him and see if he's suitable or not."

Shen Mo smiled, then spoke.

"For the role of the male lead Liu Qi, I recommend Song Weilong from Chenxi Media."

"He's the young man who played the male lead Su Jiaming in 'Soulmate' a while ago. He has excellent bone structure and is very resilient on the big screen."

L

"As for the female lead, Han Duoduo, I recommend Liu Haocun from our Mohen."

Upon hearing those two names, Guo Fan quickly went through them in his mind.

Song Weilong? I also watched "Soulmate" a few days ago. The young man's looks and performance on the big screen were truly amazing. Most importantly, he didn't have the greasy, effeminate air of today's young idols. He would be perfect for playing a rebellious teenager in a sci-fi movie.

As for Liu Haocun? His doe-like eyes are incredibly bright and he has acted in many of Mohen's dramas, so there's no need to worry about his acting skills.

Moreover, in his view, the core appeal of "The Wandering Earth" lies in its planetary engines, grand special effects, and epic scale of saturation rescue.

The male and female leads' main role in the whole play is more about introducing the main plot, and their acting skills don't reach a very high level.

With these two incredibly good-looking actors who also generate buzz, we can save a lot of effort in subsequent promotion and marketing!

"Perfect! Absolutely perfect!"

Guo Fan slapped his thigh, his smile genuine.

"Mr. Shen, your taste is absolutely brilliant!"

"I'll go back and send them interview invitations immediately; I even think it would be better to just sign them up right away!"

Funding secured, casting done.

Guo Fan felt as if the mountain that had been weighing on his chest for months had vanished in an instant.

However, when his gaze fell on Shen Mo and Li Yitong again, his "cyber Daji" heart began to stir wildly once more.

The big boss is very easy to talk to. He would feel like he'd be losing out if he didn't take a good cut of the profits!

Guo Fan took a deep breath, his face plastered with an extremely fawning smile, and cautiously moved forward.

"Um—Mr. Shen, Mr. Li."

"As you can see, the investment has been finalized, and the actors have been cast."

"The one I mentioned earlier—"

"Regarding the cameo roles of the male lead's parents, you two—"

"How about you do me the honor of making a cameo appearance in my movie for a few days?"

"Don't worry! There are really only a few flashback scenes, and the filming won't take up more than three days in total. It definitely won't take up your time!"

The office was quiet for a moment.

Wu Jing sat to the side, looking at Guo Fan with an almost monstrous gaze.

Goodness, this kid is really something. He's not satisfied with taking 8000 million in investment; he's even trying to trick two top celebrities into making cameo appearances.

Li Yitong sat in the boss's chair, her beautiful eyes slightly shifting.

"OK."

A slight smile appeared on her lips. She then reached out her finger and playfully tickled Shen Mo's palm, smiling as she agreed on his behalf.

"Director Guo, since you're so sincere, then this cameo role—"

"I agreed on his behalf. When the filming starts, we'll be notified to join the crew."

"Oh! Thank you, Mr. Li! Thank you, Mr. Shen!"

On the surface, Guo Fan remained calm and composed, but inside he was clenching his fists and waving them wildly, wishing he could take off on the spot!

It's done! It really is done!

Li Yitong, winner of the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress, and Shen Mo, winner of the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor, whose net worth is in the billions!

If these two people can get into his "The Wandering Earth" crew, even if they only make an appearance, he dares to put them in the center of the poster during the subsequent promotion, and then bold and enlarge their names.

Guo Fan experienced an immediate intracranial orgasm.

[Hahaha! You joined my Guo Fan's film crew and thought you could leave after only three days?]

[If I don't squeeze you two dry by then, I'll change my name!]

[Perhaps, through the connection with Inkmark, I could even invite some real scientists to help me refine these settings.]

Just thinking about it is exciting.

Shen Mo glanced at Guo Fan's carefully concealed thoughts and simply curled the corners of his lips into a faint smile.

"Zhixi, take them to discuss the details and sign the contract."

Shen Mo waved his hand.

"Alright, Brother Jing, Director Guo, let's go."

Chen Zhixi stood up with a smile.

The door slowly closed.

Shen Mo moved closer to Li Yitong and gently bit her earlobe as a form of punishment.

"You're so generous, you sold your man for free with just one sentence."

No way.

Li Yitong let out a soft cry, shrank her neck, and turned around in the boss's chair, hooking her arms around Shen Mo's neck.

She tilted her head back, her beautiful eyes full of liveliness and cunning.

"He gets a Best Actor award at the Hundred Flowers Awards, and you get a lead role in a sci-fi blockbuster—"

"Neither of us loses out!"

Brothers, let's cast our monthly votes!!! We're almost at 1000 votes!!!
