Run, Best Actor!

Yang Mi has previously starred in several dramas produced by H&R Century Pictures.

For example, there was "Palace," which made her a household name, and "Palace 2," where she had a cameo role.

And "Midsummer's Love" with Hawick Lau.

Jia Shikai, who is currently the vice president of H&R Century Pictures, is mainly responsible for the production of TV drama projects for artists, so he has met Yang Mi a few times.

The sudden appearance of an unknown person in the car made Yang Mi quite awkward.

"Mr. Jia, what's going on?"

"Oh, Mimi, please forgive me for coming uninvited."

Jia Shikai smiled faintly, "I have two purposes for coming here this time."

Firstly, it's a public invitation to participate in our company's new project next year: the TV series adaptation of the popular online game IP, "Gu Jian Qi Tan".

Secondly, and personally, I'm here to help you dispel some of your concerns.

Yang Mi played the game "Gu Jian Qi Tan".

This girl is very addicted to the internet, especially games.

Yang Mi played all the games in the "Chinese Paladin" series in the early years.

The reason why Tang Xuejian, whom she played in "Chinese Paladin 3", is the most accepted live-action character among game fans is that she incorporated many of Tang Xuejian's little gestures from the original game into her performance, making game fans feel a sense of intimacy.

"Gu Jian Qi Tan" was created by the producer of "Chinese Paladin 3", Chang Jun, leading the original Softstar team to establish the new Shanghai Aurogon company.

Released in mid-2010, it immediately became a hit in the domestic game industry.

It is known as one of the "Three Swords of Chinese RPGs" along with "Chinese Paladin" and "Xuan-Yuan Sword".

With the successful adaptation of the "Chinese Paladin" series as a precedent, such a major IP is naturally highly sought after.

Yang Mi, who has been blacklisted by the Hong Kong entertainment industry and has had to return to the mainland due to the complete cutoff of most of her film resources, desperately needs this kind of work to consolidate her popularity and fan base.

Being valued by Huanrui made her very happy.

However, Jia Shikai's strange visit today really surprised her.

She paid more attention to the other person's last sentence.

"Concerns? What concerns?"

Yang Mi said in surprise, "But Mr. Jia, putting everything else aside, your way of making your entrance is quite unique!"

"There are some things I can't let others know right now; as the saying goes, 'If things aren't kept secret, they can cause serious harm!'"

Jia Shikai shrugged.

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi frowned. "Is there something we need to keep secret?"

"The main reason is that there are some things I need to keep secret."

Jia Shikai replied, "To put it simply, Mimi, I am now secretly Mr. Liu Taile's business partner."

"ah?!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi was speechless. "You and Xiao Le are business partners?"

"So, Mimi, we're not strangers at all."

Jia Shikai said with a smile, "Actually, it was Tai Le who asked me to come this time."

Yang Mi didn't know what to say.

Moved?

That's natural.

Although what she said to Sun Ting on the plane seemed resolute and left no room for negotiation.

But the truth is, she herself was also in a daze.

She sought out Liu Taile because she believed he was kind to her.

After all, the other party is not in the entertainment industry and cannot provide much assistance to her career.

She still has to work hard for everything.

Fortunately, Liu Taile is a million times better than Liu Kaiwei.

Yang Mi isn't worried that her hat will turn green while she's filming on location.

In particular, Liu Taile's parents treated her well.

Like the jade bracelet she's currently wearing on her wrist, which Li Yuhua insisted on giving her when she left London.

The high-grade icy jadeite is a full lake-green color with only a few minor, almost negligible, cotton-like imperfections inside.

The base market price for this type of bracelet is over 30!

Given Yang Mi's current net worth, it's certainly not that she can't afford it.

However, she was deeply moved by the way she was treated with such care.

Compared to another one...

Forget it, let's not compete. We really can't compare.

She had been with Liu Kaiwei for over half a year, and Yang Mi had met his parents a few times, but they hadn't shown her any interest whatsoever.

On the contrary, Yang Mi always brought high-end health supplements as gifts when she met them.

It's obvious who is being dishonest.

What is there for Liu Kaiwei's family to pretend about?

His father, Liu Dan, is supposed to be a veteran actor, but he only became famous for playing one role in his entire life.

To put it bluntly, he's just a character actor!

With that kind of family background, what kind of help could it provide for Yang Mi's career?

She's not even as good as Liu Taile; in terms of fame alone, she's many times better than Yang Mi.

Yang Mi is currently only famous in the country.

Liu Taile, an Olympic silver medalist in the men's 100 meters, is quite well-known internationally.

At least in South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Siam, and Malaysia, they all regard him as a god!

This was also Yang Mi's original intention in wanting Liu Taile to switch careers and become an actor in the future.

This kind of ridiculously strong fame translates into massive online traffic when it comes to the entertainment industry!

They don't even need much acting skill; just knowing that Liu Taile is on the cast list will probably attract a lot of people to watch, which is good publicity for the film and television drama.

What she didn't expect was that Liu Taile had already given her a boost even before he entered the entertainment industry!

Jia Shikai, the vice president of H&R Century Pictures, is a well-known figure in the industry.

He was won over by Liu Taile without anyone noticing.

Then think back to the "Under the Zhengyang Gate" project that Liu Taile helped her find before...

A look of realization flashed in Yang Mi's eyes. "President Jia, you've known Xiao Le for quite a while?"

"Just call me Kai-ge. Mimi, you and Tai Le are getting closer now, so don't talk to me like that from now on."

Jia Shikai chuckled and said, "I guess Xiao Le also wants to help you. In fact, he started making arrangements in the industry as early as 09. We met by chance around that time."

In recent years, he has actually invested in quite a few projects.

For example, the drama that made you a star, "Palace," actually had some of his investment in it. Otherwise, how could that drama have gotten Li Jianqun to be the art director?

"No wonder, how come Teacher Li was able to come out of retirement to design costumes for the 'Palace' drama? Yu Zheng clearly said that the production team had limited funds."

Yang Mi suddenly realized what was going on, and then scolded, "That brat, why didn't you tell me before?!"

Yang Mi's first acting role was in the TV series "Tang Minghuang", which she co-starred in with Li Jianqun and director Chen Jialin.

Li Jianqun plays Consort Wu Hui, and Yang Mi plays Princess Xianyi, Consort Wu Hui's daughter.

In 05, Yang Mi collaborated with two teachers on her first leading role in a TV series, "Wang Zhaojun".

As mentioned earlier, that drama was the foundation upon which Yang Mi truly established her status as one of the new generation of "Four Little Actresses".

It can be said that teachers Li Jianqun and Chen Jialin were Yang Mi's benefactors.

However, those two famous "perfect couples" in the industry have rather unique personalities, which even Yang Mi, with her high EQ, struggles to handle. After working with them twice, although Yang Mi calls Chen Jialin "Grandpa Chen," they still interact relatively little in their daily lives.

In the original timeline, Yang Mi met Director Chen Jialin again at the 26th China TV Golden Eagle Awards, where they presented an award together and had a chance to exchange pleasantries.

She really didn't understand why Li Jianqun would come out of retirement to serve as the art director for the "Palace" drama series.

Now it's clear, it's all thanks to Liu Taile's hard work behind the scenes!

"So, I'm here to tell you clearly, Mimi, don't be afraid of being blacklisted by those old circles!"

As Jia Shikai spoke, his expression suddenly turned serious. "We are very strong, and we will have a lot of resources in the future."

And you, be prepared to continue to endure hardship.

Hearing these encouraging words that suggested she might become a "horse" in the future, Yang Mi suddenly felt like crying.

God have mercy, this strong woman is actually more afraid of not having a job in the future.
