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

Chen Mo woke up promptly at seven o'clock the next morning.

The morning in Hengdian was a bit chilly, so he took a shower and changed into the white T-shirt that the crew had given him.

It was printed with the logo of "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" and the words "Good luck on the start of filming".

Looking in the mirror, he equipped himself with the two attributes: "ethereal and otherworldly" and "storytelling voice".

He needs to be in top form to face the media today.

Meet in the hotel lobby at 8:30.

Director Lin Yufen has arrived and is talking to the staff.

Seeing Chen Mo, she nodded: "How did you sleep last night?"

"Great, thank you, director."

"Yes, relax at today's press conference, don't be nervous."

Lin Yufen unusually spoke a few more words.

Dilraba Dilmurat also arrived nearby. Today, she wore a light pink knit sweater with a white skirt, looking fresh and lovely.

Good morning.

She winked at Chen Mo.

"morning."

Yang Mi was the last to arrive, wearing a black suit jacket with wide-leg pants and sunglasses, exuding a powerful aura.

Her arrival quieted the entire lobby.

"Is everyone here? Let's go."

She took off her sunglasses, her gaze swept over the crowd, lingered on Chen Mo's face for a moment, and then looked away.

The group boarded the film crew's car and headed to the opening ceremony venue.

The ceremony was held in a large square in Hengdian World Studios.

The red carpet was laid out, and a huge poster was displayed on the backdrop, with the main actors' costume photos already hung up.

Her own Donghua Dijun, with indifferent eyes, stood beside Bai Qian, played by Yang Mi.

Well shot.

The media area was already packed with cameras and microphones, and the fan area was also crowded with people holding up light boards featuring Yang Mi and Dilraba.

"That's quite a show of force."

Chen Mo said in a low voice.

Dilraba leaned closer and said, "This is just a small-scale event. During the promotional period when it airs, that's when the real spectacle will begin."

At 9:00 AM sharp, the opening ceremony began.

First, the main cast and crew offered incense to pray for a smooth filming process.

Then the director spoke, the producer spoke, and the lead actor spoke.

When it was Chen Mo's turn, as a new supporting actor, he wasn't originally scheduled to speak.

But the host called on him: "Today we also have a new actor in our crew, Chen Mo, who plays Donghua Dijun. Chen Mo, come and say hello to everyone."

The cameras of the media in the audience all turned to look at them.

Chen Mo picked up the microphone, and the effect of his storytelling voice flowed naturally:

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Mo, and I played Donghua Dijun in 'Eternal Love'."

I am honored to participate in such an excellent production. I will strive to play this role well and live up to the trust placed in me by the director and all the teachers.

His voice was steady and his enunciation was clear, with a natural sense of storytelling.

Several reporters in the audience exchanged glances; this guy was quite composed.

Next was the group interview with the media.

The main issues focus on Yang Mi and Dilraba, concerning their roles and their sisterhood.

But soon, reporters turned their attention to Chen Mo.

"Hello Mr. Chen Mo, I'm a reporter from Entertainment Weekly. How did you get this role? Was there any special opportunity?"

The question is straightforward and pointed.

The entire room fell silent, and everyone looked at Chen Mo.

Just as Chen Mo was about to speak, Yang Mi took the microphone first.

"I'll answer that question."

She smiled and said calmly, "The casting was a joint decision made by the directing team."

We saw many excellent actors during the audition, and Chen Mo's performance impressed the director and me.

His temperament and acting skills were more suitable for the role of Donghua Dijun, so he was ultimately chosen. It's that simple.

She spoke casually, but the meaning behind her words was very clear.

I placed the order, is there a problem?

The reporter wanted to press for more information, but Dilraba chimed in again:

"When I was acting with Chen Mo, I also felt that he was particularly suitable."

He captured the aloof yet deeply affectionate feeling of Donghua Dijun perfectly.

With both leading ladies protecting him, the reporter couldn't press the matter further and had to change the subject.

Chen Mo stood to the side, a smile playing on his lips.

I'm going further and further down the path of living off a woman...

The group interview continued, and reporters asked Chen Mo a few routine questions, which he answered flawlessly.

Standing on the stage, he could feel the scrutinizing gazes of the audience below.

There was curiosity, disdain, and jealousy.

That's how the entertainment industry is; if you suddenly appear out of nowhere, naturally some people will be unhappy.

But it's okay.

Once the artwork is finished, everything will be clear.

……

Just as the opening ceremony of "Three Lives Three Worlds" was in full swing, Bai Mengyan and Li Yitong happened to pass by outside the square.

Wow, what a grand display!

Li Yitong looked on enviously, "The cast of 'Eternal Love' includes Yang Mi and Dilraba. This is a real big-budget production."

Bai Mengyan also looked over and saw the figure standing next to Yang Mi on the stage.

The official photos of the woman in purple clothes and with white hair scrolled across the big screen.

That face...

Bai Mengyan's breath hitched.

"That actor who plays Donghua Dijun... why does he look so much like Chen Mo?"

She murmured to herself.

At this moment, two crew members passing by were chatting:

"Did you hear? At today's press conference, Yang Mi and Dilraba were there to support this newcomer, Chen Mo."

"Really? Who is he?"

"have no idea."

"Wow, that's impressive, they have powerful connections..."

The conversation drifted into Bai Mengyan's ears.

Chen Mo?

Emperor Donghua?

She was a little incredulous, took out her phone, and opened Chen Mo's WeChat.

Typing quickly:

"Chen Mo, where are you?"

I waited for half a minute, but there was no reply.

The opening ceremony on stage is coming to an end, and the main cast and crew are taking a group photo.

Bai Mengyan stared intently at the figure in purple robes and with white hair.

Even with makeup and a wig, those eyebrows, those features...

it's him.

My phone vibrated.

Chen Mo replied, "What's wrong?"

Bai Mengyan's fingers flew across the keyboard: "Are you in the cast of 'Eternal Love'? Playing Donghua Dijun?"

There was a pause of a few seconds on the other end: "You know?"

"I was outside the opening ceremony venue."

Bai Mengyan sent a shocked emoji, "When did you become an actress? Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's a long story. Shall we talk tonight?"

"Okay! We'll talk more in detail when we meet tonight!"

"OK."

Bai Mengyan was still in shock after putting down her phone.

Li Yitong noticed her surprised expression: "What's wrong, Mengyan?"

"that……"

Bai Mengyan pointed to the stage, "It really is Chen Mo."

"Oh? Your model friend?"

"Um."

"Oh My God……"

Li Yitong was also stunned, "How could he...?"

Bai Mengyan shook her head, still unable to believe it.

No wonder the figure I saw last night looked so similar.

It really was him.

He also filmed in Hengdian, and right from the start was a big production like "Three Lives Three Worlds".

A complex mix of emotions welled up in Bai Mengyan's heart.

I felt happy for him, but also a little... inexplicably disappointed.

He's progressing too fast.

It was so fast that she felt like she was still standing still.

……

After the opening ceremony, Chen Mo returned to the hotel.

Not long after I entered the room, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Mo opened the door, and it was Assistant Liu.

"Teacher Chen, the director said there's a script reading session this afternoon, and all the lead actors have to attend."

"Two o'clock in the hotel conference room, don't forget."

"OK, thanks."

Chen Mo closed the door and took a deep breath.

We can't afford to mess things up.

He picked up the script and began to prepare.
