Huayu Entertainment: It was the young actress who took the initiative.
Chapter 19 He's living off Li Yitong
At 6:30 p.m., Chen Mo drove Reba's white Porsche Macan out of the residential area.
The car is very new, with a beige interior and a small pink ornament hanging on the steering wheel.
Chen Mo adjusted the seat and rearview mirrors. This car was indeed easy to drive, with plenty of power and stable handling.
He drove to the restaurant address sent by Li Yitong, following the navigation.
It's a Japanese restaurant tucked away on a street near Sanlitun. The storefront is unassuming, but it has excellent online ratings and reviews.
After parking his car, Chen Mo went into the store.
The waiter led him through the corridor to a semi-open private room.
Li Yitong was already inside the private room.
Today she wore a light gray knit sweater with white wide-leg pants, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her makeup was light, making her look gentle and intellectual.
"Chen Mo!"
Upon seeing Chen Mo, her eyes lit up, and she stood up.
"Sorry I'm late."
Chen Mo sat down opposite her.
"No, no, I'm just too early."
Li Yitong laughed, "Is there traffic?"
"fine."
Chen Mo said, taking the menu from the waiter.
The two ordered their food, and while waiting, Li Yitong spoke first:
"Congratulations on wrapping up filming. When will 'Eternal Love' air?"
"Logically, it should be early next year. What about you? Has filming for 'Chaoge' finished yet?"
"My scenes have just finished filming."
Li Yitong nodded, "But Mengyan hasn't yet. She has more scenes than me, so it will probably take another half a month of filming."
"So what are your plans for the future?"
Li Yitong took a sip of tea: "I've taken on a new role in 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'."
Chen Mo raised an eyebrow: "A Jin Yong drama?"
"Yes, in the new version, I'll be playing Huang Rong."
Congratulations!
Chen Mo raised his glass, "However, the role of Huang Rong is very difficult to play, and it is quite a challenge."
"yes."
Li Yitong clinked glasses with him, saying, "The pressure is quite high. But the director has confidence in me, so I'll just do my best in my acting."
The two chatted for a while about the preparations for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," when Li Yitong suddenly remembered something:
"By the way, Chen Mo, do you have any acting offers coming up?"
"Not yet, I'm still waiting for an opportunity."
Li Yitong's eyes darted around, and she lowered her voice:
"Our production team... it seems the role of Yang Kang hasn't been cast yet."
Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat.
Yang Kang.
An important supporting character in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," complex and layered, a performance that can be outstanding if played well.
"Not decided yet?"
"It should be."
Li Yitong nodded, "I heard the director auditioned several actors, but wasn't very satisfied with any of them."
The role of Yang Kang is very difficult to play. You have to portray the demeanor of a noble young master, as well as the inner conflicts and struggles.
Too young to handle it, too old for it.
She looked at Chen Mo, her eyes serious.
"I think...you would be quite suitable."
Chen Mo didn't speak, waiting for her to continue.
"You have a good appearance, and if you get into 'Eternal Love,' your acting skills won't be bad either. Besides, you have a kind of... indescribable temperament that fits Yang Kang's complex character quite well. If you're interested, I can recommend you for an audition."
Chen Mo remained silent for a few seconds.
The opportunity came as soon as I equipped the phrase "Brother, I'm having such a lucky time."
This is just too "smooth"!
"Thank you, Yitong."
He looked at Li Yitong and said, "If I have the opportunity to audition, I would certainly be interested."
"That's great!"
Li Yitong smiled, "I'll go back and ask the director if it's been finalized. If not, I'll recommend you to him."
But as you know, I'm just an actor, and my recommendation power is limited. Ultimately, it depends on the director and producer's decision.
"I see."
Chen Mo nodded, "I'm already very grateful for your recommendation."
"Don't mention it."
Li Yitong waved her hand, "I only recommended you because I think you're capable. If you mess up the performance, I'll be embarrassed too."
She said this in a joking tone, but her eyes were very sincere.
The dishes were served one after another.
The sashimi platter, grilled eel, tempura, and sushi were all beautifully presented and tasted good.
The two chatted while eating, discussing everything from acting to life, in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
Li Yitong has a great personality and speaks with tact, yet she doesn't make people feel distant.
Chen Mo felt very comfortable chatting with her; he didn't need to deliberately find topics to talk about, and there were never any awkward silences.
After finishing the meal, Chen Mo paid the bill.
Li Yitong wanted to pay, but Chen Mo insisted on treating himself.
After all, they've already recommended me for auditions, so it wouldn't be right to ask them to pay me back.
After all, I'm not a gigolo.
It was already late when I stepped out of the restaurant.
The streetlights in the alley were dim, casting a yellow glow on the bluestone pavement.
Chen Mo led Li Yitong to the parking area.
Li Yitong was stunned when she saw the white Porsche Macan.
"This is...your car?"
"no."
Chen Mo opened the passenger door. "A friend lent me this one."
He didn't say whose car it was, and Li Yitong didn't ask further.
But I already had a guess in my mind.
If someone lends a Porsche to a friend, the relationship must be quite special.
And looking at the interior details, that pink ornament...
It must be a girl's car.
Li Yitong looked at Chen Mo's profile as he drove, her feelings a mix of emotions.
He's handsome, a good actor, and a nice person.
A man like that is bound to be sought after.
Where do you live?
Li Yitong gave the address.
The car drove through the night, and the two chatted casually.
"Chen Mo".
Li Yitong suddenly asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?"
The question came as a surprise, and Chen Mo paused for a moment before answering:
"no."
"oh."
Li Yitong responded and didn't ask any further questions.
But Chen Mo sensed something from her tone.
He glanced at her.
Li Yitong looked out the window, her profile illuminated by the streetlights.
The car was quiet for a few minutes.
"arrive."
Chen Mo parked his car at the entrance of a residential complex.
"Thank you for bringing me."
Li Yitong unbuckled her seatbelt. "I'll talk to the director about the audition in the next couple of days. I'll let you know when I hear anything."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Li Yitong got out of the car, took a few steps, and then turned back:
"Chen Mo".
"Um?"
"Thank you for having dinner with me tonight."
After she finished speaking, she smiled, turned around, and walked into the residential area.
Chen Mo watched her departing figure until she disappeared into the building before starting the car and leaving.
On the way back, he kept thinking about the character Yang Kang.
In a Jin Yong drama, he plays the second male lead with a significant role...
It is indeed a good opportunity.
Moreover, if Li Yitong were to play Huang Rong, and he were to play Yang Kang, the two would likely have many more scenes together.
That's quite interesting.
My phone vibrated; it was a WeChat message from Li Yitong:
"I'm home. I'm very happy today. I just talked to the director, and the actor for Yang Kang hasn't been decided yet. I'll give you the assistant director's WeChat now. Add him and tell him I recommended him."
Chen Mo replied, "Received, thank you. I was also very happy to have dinner with you tonight."
Soon after, Li Yitong sent another message: "Good luck! I hope you get the role. I look forward to working with you."
Chen Mo smiled and put away his phone.
The car was driven into the residential area and parked in the underground garage.
Tonight's meal was quite fruitful.
