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

The next morning, Yang Mi left first.

Chen Mo was awakened by a cell phone ringing.

He reached for his phone, his eyes not yet fully open:

"Feed?"

"Hello Mr. Chen, I am Xiao Wang, the casting assistant for the TV series 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'."

A polite voice came from the other end of the phone, "Congratulations, you've been cast as Yang Kang. Would it be convenient for you to come to the company this afternoon to sign the contract?"

Chen Mo instantly regained his senses.

"Afternoon is fine, what time?"

"Is 2 o'clock okay? I'll send you the address via WeChat."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo leaned against the headboard, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.

He glanced at the time; it was 9:30 a.m.

I got up, washed up, drove home, and changed into some decent clothes.

A simple white shirt paired with black casual pants is both formal and not stiff.

……

He arrived at the film company on time at 1:50 p.m.

Xiao Wang was already waiting at the door. He was a young man in his twenties, and his eyes lit up when he saw Chen Mo.

"Hello, Teacher Chen, this way please."

He led Chen Mo into the conference room, where the contract had already been prepared.

"Please take a look first, and feel free to ask me any questions."

Xiao Wang pushed the contract over to me.

Chen Mo took it and carefully read through each page.

The film fee is 600,000 after tax, payable in three installments:

Thirty percent is paid upon signing the contract, forty percent upon starting filming, and the remaining balance upon completion of filming.

The filming period is about two months, and we will need to cooperate if there are any reshoots.

The other terms are also reasonable, with no hidden traps.

After reading it, Chen Mo picked up a pen and signed it.

"alright."

He returned the contract.

Xiao Wang took it and then took out a script from the file bag:

"This is the script for the first twenty episodes. Please take a look. There will be a script reading and martial arts training session before filming officially begins. You will be notified of the specific time in advance."

"it is good."

Chen Mo took the script; it was a thick stack. He opened it to the first page, which contained character biographies:

Yang Kang, a young prince of the Jin Dynasty, is the adopted son of Wanyan Honglie. He is outwardly dashing and debonair, but inwardly complex and conflicted…

He closed the script, already having a rough plan in mind.

As Chen Mo walked out of the film company, he took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Li Yitong:

"I passed the audition and just signed the contract."

Li Yitong quickly replied: "That's great! Congratulations! [Sprinkling flowers]"

"Thank you for your recommendation."

"Don't mention it, you're really talented. I look forward to joining the cast and acting with you!"

"it is good."

Just as I finished replying, another message came in; it was from Bai Mengyan.

"Chen Mo! I've finished filming and am back in Beijing! Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together to celebrate wrapping up filming!"

Chen Mo smiled and replied, "I'm free. You can choose the place."

"I'll give you the address later, around 6:30?"

"it is good."

After putting down his phone, Chen Mo drove home.

On the way, he thought about seeing Bai Mengyan that evening.

This girl has been filming in Hengdian for so long, she must be exhausted.

When he got home, he took a shower and changed into some comfortable clothes.

Seeing that it was still early, I opened the script and started reading.

The character of Yang Kang is indeed complex, and if played well, he should be very outstanding.

He took notes as he watched, marking emotional turning points and action scenes.

……

At 5:30, he went out to keep his appointment.

It's a well-regarded hot pot restaurant, bustling with activity and steaming hot.

When Chen Mo arrived, Bai Mengyan was already there, looking down at her phone.

"Dream Words".

He walked over.

Bai Mengyan looked up, her eyes lighting up: "Chen Mo!"

She was wearing a sweatshirt today, her hair was tied in a high ponytail, and she had light makeup on. She looked quite energetic, but she had some dark circles under her eyes, probably from filming.

"Have you been waiting long?"

Chen Mo sat down opposite her.

"No, I just arrived too."

Bai Mengyan pushed the menu over, "Quickly see what you want to eat, I'm starving! I've been eating boxed lunches every day in Hengdian, and I'm going crazy craving hot pot."

Chen Mo smiled and ordered several dishes that they both liked.

The bottom of the pot is served, the red oil is bubbling and the aroma is irresistible.

Bai Mengyan eagerly cooked a slice of tripe, took a bite, and sighed contentedly:

"Ah... this is what humans should eat."

Chen Mo was amused by her: "Is the food on set inhuman? Is it that bad?"

"It's so bitter!"

Bai Mengyan said while eating, "The production team of 'Chaoge' had a tight budget, so the boxed lunches were the cheapest kind."

"Besides, I have a lot of scenes, and I often film until midnight. After work, there's not even anything left to order takeout."

As she spoke, she looked up at Chen Mo:

"And you? What have you been up to lately? What are your plans after filming 'Eternal Love'?"

"I just signed a contract for a new film."

Chen Mo paused for a moment, then said, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes, playing Yang Kang."

Bai Mengyan paused, her chopsticks snapping, her eyes widening: "A Jin Yong drama? Yang Kang?"

"Um."

"Oh My God……"

Bai Mengyan put down her chopsticks. "Chen Mo, your career is progressing too fast! 'Eternal Love' hasn't even aired yet, and you're already acting in 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'? Are you living off a woman?"

"How could I be this kind of person? I'm just lucky."

Chen Mo said without changing his expression.

"So how did you get in?"

"Speaking of which, I should thank you, Yitong."

Chen Mo cooked a slice of beef in hot pot. "She played Huang Rong and recommended me to audition."

Bai Mengyan was stunned.

Yitong?

She remembered when they were in Hengdian, Li Yitong asked her if she liked Chen Mo, and then half-jokingly said that she wanted to pursue Chen Mo...

Seriously? She's serious?

A sudden sense of crisis welled up inside her. Why did she feel like her house was about to be raided?

"Yitong... is really good to you."

She gave a slight smirk and said casually, "I'll even recommend you for an audition."

"Indeed, she's a nice person."

Chen Mo didn't notice her odd behavior and nodded.

Bai Mengyan bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:

"Chen Mo, do you think... Yi Tong might like you?"

Chen Mo was drinking a beverage when he heard this and almost choked.

He recalled what Li Yitong had said yesterday, "I like women," and then shook his head.

"Probably not. I think you shouldn't overthink it. Maybe Yitong just thought I was suitable to play Yang Kang, so she recommended me."

Upon hearing this and seeing his calm and confident expression, Bai Mengyan's sense of crisis dissipated somewhat.

Yes, it's possible she was just trying to help a friend, and she's probably overthinking it.

The hot pot was steaming hot, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Bai Mengyan recounted the interesting stories from filming in Hengdian, while Chen Mo listened, occasionally interjecting a few words.

Towards the end of the conversation, Bai Mengyan suddenly became serious:

"Chen Mo, I'm so happy for you that you're doing so well now."

But the entertainment industry is too complicated. You're on your own and not signed with a company, so you still need to be extra careful.

"I know."

Chen Mo nodded, "I will."

"If you need any help, feel free to contact me anytime. Although I don't have much ability right now, we're friends, so let's look out for each other."

"it is good."

Chen Mo raised his glass, "Thank you, Boss Bai. I hope we can meet at the top."

"You're welcome."

The two clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

The meal lasted until after 8 p.m.

Stepping out of the hot pot restaurant, a cool breeze was blowing in the night air of Beijing.

"Do you want me to take you home?" Chen Mo turned his head and asked Bai Mengyan.

"No need, I've already called a car. You should go home and get some rest too."

"it is good."

The car arrived, and before getting in, Bai Mengyan turned around and hugged Chen Mo.

"Chen Mo, keep it up!"

She looked up at Chen Mo and said, "I believe you will become famous, just as I believe in myself."

After saying that, she turned and got into the car.

Chen Mo stood there, watching the car drive away, feeling a warm feeling in his heart.
