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

The next morning.

Chen Mo woke up earlier than Yang Mi.

The blackout curtains in the luxury hotel were tightly drawn, plunging the room into complete darkness.

The sound of Yang Mi's even breathing could be heard beside me, and there was a faint scent of perfume in the air.

He didn't move, just lay there quietly, thinking about what to do next.

Just then, the person next to me stirred.

Yang Mi woke up.

She could feel herself being held in someone's arms, with a warm chest against her back.

Memories of last night flooded my mind like a tidal wave.

The young man singing in the bar, the story told in his voice, and later in the hotel…

Her cheeks felt slightly flushed.

"woke up?"

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 202ᴋᴋs.ᴄᴏᴍ]

Chen Mo's voice rang out in the darkness, hoarse from just waking up, yet very magnetic.

Yang Mi didn't turn around, but just hummed in agreement and reached for her phone on the bedside table.

The screen lit up; it was 9:47 AM.

She sat up, the silk quilt slipped down, revealing her smooth shoulders.

Chen Mo also sat up and leaned against the headboard, maintaining a just-right distance between the two.

The room was completely silent, with only the faint sound of the air conditioner.

"last night…..."

Yang Mi spoke, her tone flat and devoid of any emotion.

"I drank too much."

The classic opening remarks both acknowledged the facts and drew a clear line.

"I drank quite a bit too."

Chen Mo replied calmly, "The whiskey has a strong aftereffect."

Yang Mi turned her head to look at him.

A sliver of morning light peeked through the gap in the curtains, barely outlining his silhouette.

Young and good-looking

Hearing what he said, Yang Mi felt a little more at ease.

What she fears most is the kind of person who is persistent and clingy.

How much is your Alipay balance?

She picked up her phone. "I'll transfer you some money, just as a token of my appreciation..."

"No need," Chen Mo interrupted her.

Yang Mi paused, then asked, "Hmm?"

"I don't need money."

Chen Mo said earnestly, "Teacher Yang, why not give me a chance?"

"What opportunity?"

"An opportunity to act."

Chen Mo turned to her, his expression obscured by the darkness, but his voice held a longing.

"Regarding the drama you guys were talking about yesterday, 'Eternal Love,' I heard that some supporting roles haven't been cast yet."

Yang Mi remained silent for a few seconds.

"You really want to act?" she asked.

"I really want to."

Why?

Chen Mo thought about it and decided to tell the truth:

"Because I've been poor before, I know what it's like to be penniless."

Modeling doesn't provide enough income, and I want to find a more sustainable career path while I'm still young.

This surprised Yang Mi.

"Do you have any background knowledge?" she asked in return.

"I've attended a three-month acting class and done a few acting gigs, so all I need is one opportunity."

If I perform poorly, it's because I'm not capable enough; if I do alright, I hope you'll give me a chance.

He spoke very cleverly, expressing his own needs without putting too much pressure on Yang Mi.

Yang Mi leaned against the headboard, her mind racing.

Giving her an audition opportunity is not difficult for her.

Because she is both the lead actress and an investor in this drama, recommending someone for an audition is just a matter of a word.

But the key question is whether it's worth it.

The young man in front of me is handsome and has a great physique. He also has a good voice and can sing.

As for acting skills, she hadn't seen any, but some people are just naturally gifted and can grasp things instantly; maybe he's one of them.

But more importantly, although what happened last night was consensual, it is still a potential problem.

If he can join the crew, being under her watchful eye will actually make him easier to control.

"Emperor Donghua," Yang Mi suddenly said.

Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat.

"There's a character in the show, dressed in purple with white hair. He doesn't have many scenes, but his character is quite good."

Yang Mi continued, "The director auditioned a few people before, but felt they were all lacking. There's a group audition next Wednesday, and I can let you go."

Suppressing his excitement, Chen Mo calmly said, "Thank you, Teacher Yang."

"Don't thank me yet."

Yang Mi's tone turned cold, "I can only let you audition. Whether you can land the role depends on your own abilities. And what happened last night..."

"rest assured."

Chen Mo understood what she meant and nodded. "I'm never one to gossip."

Yang Mi looked at him for a while, seemingly assessing the credibility of his words.

"Your phone." She held out her hand.

Chen Mo handed over the phone.

Yang Mi took it and entered her phone number on it.

"This is my private phone number. Please add me on WeChat and don't spread it around."

She handed the phone back, "I'll have my assistant send you the specific time and location of the audition."

Prepare well. Donghua Dijun is a cold and aloof deity with few lines, but his eye acting is very important.

"I will prepare well," Chen Mo said earnestly.

Yang Mi got out of bed and walked barefoot into the bathroom.

The sound of water could be heard.

Chen Mo leaned against the headboard, staring blankly at the number on the screen.

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped after a while, and Yang Mi came out wrapped in a bathrobe, her hair still wet.

She turned on the room light, and the sudden brightness made both of them squint.

Now we can see each other clearly.

Yang Mi's skin still looks great even without makeup, but she has some light dark circles under her eyes.

Chen Mo had messy hair, but his eyes and brows looked even more profound under the light.

Yang Mi looked at his physique, then gracefully walked to the bedside...

"One more time."

I don't know how much time passed...

"You're really amazing."

Yang Mi couldn't help but sigh.

"As long as Sister Honey is satisfied."

Chen Mo stretched. This "Brave Bull" entry was really powerful; he felt even more courageous as he fought.

After saying that, Chen Mo started getting dressed, preparing to leave.

Yang Mi watched Chen Mo's departing figure as he finished dressing, lost in thought.

Interesting young people.

Not greedy, and very smart.

Knowing when to ask and when to give.

She picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message to her assistant:

"The role of Donghua Dijun in 'Eternal Love' will have an audition next Wednesday. There's another person auditioning, named Chen Mo. I'll send you his information in a bit."

After sending it, she looked at the chat interface and added another sentence:

"Just make normal arrangements; no special treatment is needed."

He's been given the opportunity he was due; the rest depends on his own abilities.

......

When Chen Mo stepped out of the hotel, the morning air in Beijing was dry and cool.

He took a deep breath and felt the world after his rebirth was exceptionally clear.

My phone vibrated; it was a message from Brother Zhang:

"How was last night? Did you get anything?"

Chen Mo thought for a moment and replied:

"Teacher Yang Mi gave me an audition opportunity for a supporting role in 'Eternal Love'."

The reply came instantly: "You've hit the jackpot! Which role?"

"Emperor Donghua".

"Then hurry up and get ready. If you need any help from me, just let me know."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo walked slowly along the sidewalk.

With a thought, the system interface reappeared.

Chen Mo's lips twitched as he looked at the two entries: "Storytelling Voice" and "Brave Bull".

A storytelling voice can be helpful for acting, since dialogue is an important part of performance.

But [Brave Bull]...

You can't exactly show this during the audition, can you?

He imagined the scene and almost burst out laughing.

As I was walking, my phone vibrated again.

It was a message from Yang Mi's assistant:

"Hello Mr. Chen Mo, I am Xiao Liu, the assistant of Ms. Yang Mi."

The audition schedule for the role of Donghua Dijun in "Eternal Love" is as follows:

Time: Next Wednesday at 10:00 AM;

Location: Conference Room 703, 7th Floor, XX Building, Chaoyang District;

Please arrive 15 minutes early and bring your resume and makeup trial photos.

If you require a scene from the script, please reply to this message and I will send it to you. Best of luck.

Chen Mo replied, "Received, thank you. Please send me a clip from the audition."

A few minutes later, a PDF file was sent over.

These are two scenes featuring Donghua Dijun:

One scene is his first meeting with the female lead, Bai Qian. He doesn't have many lines; he relies mainly on his aura.

Another scene is a solitary contemplation in the palace, with no lines, relying entirely on eyes and micro-expressions.

Chen Mo walked and looked around, his brows slightly furrowed.

Both of these scenes were actually difficult to act.

The first scene should portray the balance between the indifference and subtle concern of the immortals;

The second scene was an even greater test of the actors' skills, as there were no lines to support them, and they had to convey emotions entirely through facial expressions and body language.

……

After returning home, Chen Mo kept thinking about the script.

Before we knew it, it was already past 10 p.m.

Chen Mo was a little hungry, so he opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of water, and drank a few mouthfuls.

The refrigerator was empty except for a few bottles of water, half a bag of frozen dumplings, and a few cans of beer.

He leaned against the kitchen door frame, looking at the rented room, and suddenly remembered someone.

Bai Mengyan.

When the name came to mind, Chen Mo himself was stunned for a moment.

In their past lives, they were colleagues, both models, and even worked at the same company for six months.

Bai Mengyan was a little older than him. She was from Jiangsu and had a cheerful personality. Her eyes curved into crescent moons when she smiled.

Back then, the two often went to different locations together, and during breaks in filming, they would squat in a corner and chat, complaining about the bizarre demands of clients and dreaming about the future.

Later, Bai Mengyan signed with a company and transitioned into acting, and then...

She became Bai Lu, a rising star with a constant stream of film offers.

Chen Mo remembered seeing her on TV once in his previous life; she was already the female lead in a hit web series.

He looked at her radiant appearance on the screen, then glanced down at his own delivery uniform, and silently changed the channel.

And now it is the beginning of 2016.

At this time, Bai Mengyan had not yet become truly famous.

If my memory serves me right, she will be signed by a big company this year and officially begin her acting career.

Chen Mo put down the water bottle, his eyes gleaming.

The system rules state that contact with celebrities in the entertainment industry can trigger keyword extraction.

So... does someone who will become a star in the future count?

He picked up his phone and searched for Bai Mengyan's number in his contacts.

After hesitating for three seconds, he dialed the number anyway.

The phone rang several times, and just when Chen Mo thought no one would answer, it connected.

"Feed?"

Bai Mengyan's familiar voice rang out, tinged with disbelief.

"Chen Mo?"

"it's me."

There was a two-second silence on the other end.

"I thought you'd forgotten about me!"

Bai Mengyan said quietly, her tone carrying a hint of resentment.

"How could that be?"

Chen Mo smiled. "How have you been lately?"

"Still looking for acting opportunities, what about you? Still working as a model?"

"Um."

"Let me tell you,"

Bai Mengyan seemed to suddenly remember something, and her tone became excited.

"I signed with a company this year, and my boss gave me an opportunity—a supporting role in a web series—but the competition is fierce..."

She went on and on about her recent situation, and Chen Mo listened quietly.

She still has the same personality I remember—straightforward and without any guile.

After she had finished speaking, Chen Mo spoke up:

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"Not yet, I'm starving."

"How about we go out for a bite to eat? It's on me!"

There was a pause on the other end of the phone: "Now?"

"Yeah, for a late-night snack, we'll go to the Veterans' BBQ place we used to frequent."

Bai Mengyan smiled: "Sure. I'll be there in about half an hour."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo changed his clothes and went out.
