Huayu Entertainment: It was the young actress who took the initiative.

The private restaurant is hidden on an old street in Hengdian. It has a small storefront but is elegantly decorated.

Pushing open the door, you see a celadon vase in the entryway, ink paintings on the wall, and a faint scent of sandalwood in the air.

The waiter led Chen Mo inside, stopping at the door of the innermost private room:

"Sir, this is it."

Chen Mo pushed open the door and went in.

Bai Mengyan and Li Yitong had arrived and were chatting by the window.

Hearing the noise, the two turned around at the same time.

"Chen Mo!" Bai Mengyan's eyes lit up, and she stood up.

She wore a light blue sweater today, and her hair was tied in a bun, revealing her smooth forehead.

She wore light makeup, which made her look more refined than usual.

"Sorry I'm late." Chen Mo said with a smile as he walked in.

"No, no, we just arrived too."

Bai Mengyan introduced, "This is Li Yitong, my colleague on set. Yitong, this is Chen Mo, my... friend."

Li Yitong stood up and smiled politely: "Hello, I'm Li Yitong. I've often heard Mengyan mention you, and I'm so glad to finally meet you today."

She wore a white knit sweater with light-colored jeans, her long hair was down, her makeup was fresh, and her eyes crinkled when she smiled, making her very approachable.

"Hello, Chen Mo." Chen Mo shook hands with her.

The system notification popped up the moment the finger touched Li Yitong's finger:

[Host detected communicating with celebrity Li Yitong]

[You have one chance to draw a keyword. Do you want to draw now?]

Chen Mo silently recited in his mind: "Extract."

The light screen scrolled for a few seconds before stopping.

[Successful draw! Obtained basic term: Fitness Guru]

[Effect of this entry: Your physique will gradually transform into the pinnacle of natural fitness, with beautifully defined muscles and an upright posture, maintaining peak condition without the need for deliberate training]

[Equip immediately?]

"equipment."

Chen Mo felt a slight warmth in his body, and his muscles seemed to undergo some subtle changes.

This entry... came at just the right time.

Filming period dramas requires a tall and upright posture, and Donghua Dijun, in particular, needs to exude a sense of power while maintaining an air of otherworldly elegance.

The entry for "fitness enthusiast" is a timely help.

"What's wrong?" Bai Mengyan asked, noticing that Chen Mo seemed a little distracted.

"It's nothing."

Chen Mo snapped out of his thoughts and sat down opposite the two of them. "Have you ordered?"

"Not yet, waiting for you to order."

Bai Mengyan pushed the menu towards us, saying, "You said you were treating, so we won't stand on ceremony."

Chen Mo took the menu and, without being pretentious, ordered a few signature dishes and asked the waiter to recommend two specialty dishes.

While waiting for the food, Bai Mengyan finally couldn't hold back any longer:

"Chen Mo, tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"

How did you end up in the "Three Lives Three Worlds" drama series? And playing Donghua Dijun?

Her eyes widened, her face full of curiosity.

Li Yitong also looked at Chen Mo, clearly very interested.

Chen Mo took a sip of tea and said simply:

"Well... my agent introduced me to a dinner party, where I met the casting director and Yang Mi."

They thought my temperament was somewhat similar to that of Donghua Dijun, so they asked me to audition.

I tried it, and it worked. It's that simple.

"It's that simple?" Bai Mengyan was somewhat incredulous. "That's Yang Mi's role! How could you..."

"Maybe it was just luck."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "I looked good on the day of the makeup test. The director and Yang Mi both thought I was more suitable."

"It is indeed suitable."

Li Yitong said softly, "We passed by the opening ceremony today and saw you. Your costume fitting photos... were really stunning."

She spoke with a serious look in her eyes; it wasn't just politeness.

Bai Mengyan nodded vigorously:

"Yeah, yeah, I didn't even recognize it at first glance! I thought I was seeing things!"

Chen Mo, your transformation is incredible! From model to a big-budget production like "Eternal Love," it's like you've taken a rocket!

"Just lucky," Chen Mo said calmly.

"That's because you're capable."

Li Yitong shook her head, "For a drama of the caliber of 'Eternal Love,' the casting process is very strict. You must be talented enough to get the role."

Chen Mo glanced at her with some surprise. This girl was quite perceptive, unlike Bai Mengyan who was so naive.

"Come, let's offer tea instead of wine to these two beauties for their hospitality."

Chen Mo didn't bring up the topic again.

The three clinked glasses.

The dishes were served one after another, and they tasted really good.

The steamed sea bass is tender, the braised pork is soft and glutinous, the seasonal vegetables are refreshing, and there's also a signature mushroom soup that's so delicious it'll make your eyebrows fall off.

As they ate and chatted, the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

Bai Mengyan talked about the interesting things that happened on the set of "Chaoge", how strict the director was and how she was covered in injuries from filming the action scenes. But when she talked about her role as Deng Chanyu, her tone was full of excitement.

Li Yitong doesn't talk much, but every time she responds, it's just right, making people feel very comfortable.

Chen Mo would occasionally chime in, always eliciting laughter from the two of them.

Halfway through the meal, Chen Mo stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom."

He walked out of the private room and down the corridor to the end.

There was no one in the restroom. Chen Mo stood in front of the mirror and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt.

The effects of the "Fitness Guru" tagline are already starting to show.

He already had a good physique.

He's a former model, well-proportioned, and muscular.

But now, the lines of his chest and abdominal muscles are more defined, not the exaggerated, bodybuilder-style muscles, but natural and smooth lines.

This physique is similar to that of Jiang Jingfu in his previous life, who was also a fitness blogger who used the "addition and subtraction" method. And most importantly, his head didn't become pointed!

With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a straight back, a person's entire posture is different.

Chen Mo did a few movements in front of the mirror, his muscles rising and falling naturally with the movements, exuding a strong sense of power.

This entry is worthwhile.

He straightened his clothes, washed his hands, and walked out of the bathroom.

As I returned to the door of the private room and was about to push it open, I heard faint conversations coming from inside.

"Mengyan, you and Chen Mo... have known each other for a long time?"

It was Li Yitong's voice, tinged with laughter.

"Yeah! We met when we were both models..."

"Oh~"

Li Yitong drawled, "He's so handsome and a good actor, he's bound to become famous. Don't you have any ideas?"

"I...what do I mean?"

Bai Mengyan raised her voice slightly, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"What nonsense did I spout?"

Li Yitong laughed even harder, "Then why are you blushing?"

"I'm not blushing at all!"

"The mirror is right over there, take a look for yourself."

The private room was silent for a few seconds.

Then Li Yitong said:

"If you really have no interest, then I'll have to make my move. Such a high-potential stock shouldn't be missed."

"Go ahead and pursue her!"

Bai Mengyan's voice sounded a bit defiant, "If you can catch up, then go for it! What does it have to do with me!"

"Really? Then I'll really pursue her?"

"……as you like!"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow outside the door.

This conversation... is quite interesting.

He waited a few seconds before pushing the door open and going in.

The two people in the private room immediately stopped talking.

Bai Mengyan lowered her head to drink tea, the tips of her ears turning red.

Li Yitong casually picked up some food, but there was a smile in the corner of her eye.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Mo asked casually as he sat down.

"Nothing much!" Bai Mengyan answered quickly, "We were just talking about the film crew."

Li Yitong glanced at her and smiled, "Yes, we were talking about the film crew. Chen Mo, how long will it take to film your scenes?"

"My scenes will last for about twenty days."

Chen Mo said, "But it depends on the filming schedule."

"That's pretty fast."

Li Yitong nodded, "You'll definitely become famous when it airs. Don't forget me when you're rich and powerful!"

"I might forget anyone, but I'll never forget these two beauties," Chen Mo joked with a smile.

The atmosphere became a little awkward afterward.

Bai Mengyan spoke less, occasionally stealing a glance at Chen Mo before quickly looking away.

Li Yitong, on the other hand, was quite natural, occasionally asking Chen Mo some questions about acting, and they chatted very congenially.

After finishing her meal, Li Yitong took out her phone:

"Chen Mo, let's add each other on WeChat? We'll be filming in Hengdian from now on, so we can keep in touch."

"Okay." Chen Mo scanned her QR code.

After Chen Mo paid the bill, the three of them walked out of the restaurant, and the cool night breeze blew in.

"Which hotel are you staying at?" Chen Mo asked.

"It's just over there on the street, not far."

Bai Mengyan said, "We can go back by ourselves."

"I'll take you there."

"No, no!"

Bai Mengyan waved her hand, "It's not far. You should go back and rest early too, you have filming tomorrow."

Li Yitong also said, "Yes, we can go back by ourselves. Chen Mo, you've had a long day too."

Seeing that the two insisted, Chen Mo didn't force them: "Alright, be careful on the road. Send me a message when you arrive."

"it is good."

"Bye-bye, Chen Mo."

Li Yitong waved her hand, "Let's have dinner together again next time."

"must."

Watching the two figures walk away, Chen Mo stood there for a while.

Tonight's harvest was good.

I got to know Li Yitong and even got a new entry.

He turned and walked towards his hotel.

My phone vibrated. It was a message from Bai Mengyan: "We've arrived at the hotel. Thank you for treating us."

Chen Mo replied, "You're welcome. Get some rest."

The screen displayed "typing" for a while, and in the end, it only replied with a "goodnight" emoji.

Then came news about Li Yitong.

"Thank you for letting me have a meal with you. I'll treat you next time!"

"You are welcome."

After replying, Chen Mo put away his phone.

The night sky in Hengdian has few stars, but the lights are very bright.

Filming officially begins tomorrow.

The first scene of Donghua Dijun.

He needs to be at his best.
