Run, Best Actor!

"Am I a fraud? Of course not!"

Yang Mi retorted over the phone.

"I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about Little Lark."

Liu Taile explained, "Nine out of ten fortune tellers who set up stalls on the street are swindlers."

"Who said that? The little lark has real skills, you know!"

Yang Mi objected, "Which clue she gave Lao Lu was wrong?"

"Wasn't it Guo Zhui who instructed her?"

Liu Taile retorted, "She's just saying it through fortune-telling; what else is that but a fraud?"

"Well……"

Yang Mi hesitated slightly, but still emphasized, "Anyway, I'm not a liar!"

"Okay, okay, you're not."

Liu Taile coaxed her, then changed the subject, "Sister Mimi, how's the filming going lately?"

"It's alright."

Yang Mi thought about how Guo Xiaosi often seemed flustered and replied carefully, "Perhaps it's Guo's first time directing, and there are indeed many immature aspects to his work."

But after all, it's an adaptation of his own work, so he took it very seriously.

Well, the translation is that the spirit is commendable, but the skills in cooking are superb.

"I hope no one on set is causing trouble."

Liu Taile pressed for an answer.

The main reason is that "Tiny Times" had Taiwanese investment, so the proportion of Taiwanese artists is very high.

Putting aside other things, three of the "Tiny Times" actresses are from Taiwan.

Also playing are Feng Xiaoyue, who plays Lin Xiao's boss Gong Ming; Du Tianhao, who plays Tang Wanru's love interest Wei Hai; and Ding Qiaowei, who plays the rich girl Yuan Yi...

When I count them all, my goodness, there are just too many Taiwanese celebrities!

Those who know, understand that this is a story about what happened in modern Shanghai.

If you didn't know better, you'd think this was Taiwan!

There's nothing we can do about it; Guo Jingming is a director who's crossed over from other fields and hasn't proven himself before.

Therefore, we have no choice but to accept the investors' terms.

Le Vision Pictures, the main investor in "Tiny Times," has not yet collapsed, but its way of doing things was set from the beginning.

It's basically the same as a Ponzi scheme, which is the common saying "robbing Peter to pay Paul".

Using investment from Taiwan to make their own movies.

Even so, Zhang Zhaoping always acts all high and mighty. I don't know where he gets his confidence from.

"Fortunately, although there are plenty of bitches, I'm not one to be trifled with."

Yang Mi said confidently, "Don't worry, Xiao Le, I won't let myself be wronged."

"Tell me if anything happens."

Liu Taile patiently instructed, "Sister Mimi, we don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either."

"Brother Jia, you've met me, you should know my power now, so don't be afraid to cause trouble. If anyone crosses you, I'll make them pay!"

"Okay, I understand, Xiao Le."

Hearing him say that, Yang Mi felt a warm feeling in her heart.

A happy smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

She enjoyed the feeling of being cherished and valued.

This is a feeling I've never had before, especially with Hawick Lau.

That guy is clearly not very capable, but he thinks he's pretty awesome. He's always been born at the wrong time.

If everything goes smoothly, he should have already swept all the major film and television awards...

Previously, when she was experiencing "love-struck" moments, Yang Mi felt that her partner was just exaggerating.

Now I just feel that guy is really sick. He's almost forty years old, but his thinking is still so childish.

Oh, she herself was quite ill before, how could she possibly be attracted to that kind of guy?!

Yeah, it must have been from that trip to Siam where he picked up some stuff.

I knew that Siamese fortune teller wasn't a good person!

What an old liar!!!

In the future, unless absolutely necessary, I must never go to Southeast Asia; the place is ominous.

But actually, Yang Mi wasn't telling the truth either.

There are indeed some rather abstract people in the "Tiny Times" crew; they seem to have a muddled mind.

Fortunately, Yang Mi didn't stoop to the other person's level.

It's not that I'm afraid of the other party.

Rather, they feared that stupidity was contagious.

Yang Mi believes that those fools who speak without thinking and without considering the context will eventually find it difficult to make a living in mainland China.

In comparison, the other three members of the "Tiny Times" sisters are not bad.

Although they weren't particularly bright, at least they knew what they could and couldn't say in mainland China.

Especially Xie Yilin, who plays Tang Wanru, is the youngest of the four sisters, and she gives Yang Mi the best impression.

The sister's actual personality is just like the character she plays; she's a silly, goofy girl.

He is quite self-aware, knowing that his image is not good and his acting range is narrow, so he can only play ugly roles.

So her purpose in entering the entertainment industry was very clear: to gain fame by becoming an artist, then marry a good husband, and finally have a lovely child.

These kinds of people don't have bad intentions, and it's easy to get along with them.

In contrast, Guo Caijie, who is the same age as Yang Mi, and Guo Biting, who is three years older than her, have more complicated thoughts.

Because of their good looks, they all want to become famous, so sometimes they compete with Yang Mi for screen time.

Yang Mi found it all quite amusing.

Guo Caijie is actually alright; she has some talent in acting, but it's limited.

Moreover, he's not from a formal acting background; he's a complete amateur. But he's actually quite good at acting, and he often acts stiffly when he's on screen.

Guo Biting is even worse.

She can only play a pretty face as a decorative character, but she insists on playing a seemingly innocent but actually cunning character, without being able to express herself properly at all.

Simply put, the dish is terrible.

Yang Mi simply didn't want to compete with the two of them, since she had read all four parts of the script and knew that among the four sisters, only Lin Xiao, whom she played, survived to the end.

No matter how outstanding they are in the early stages, if the character dies, and dies in a rather worthless way, then in the end it's all for nothing.

Lin Xiao, who survives to the end, will be the focus of all the audience's attention, and that will be the most glorious moment for her character.

Therefore, the best strategy now is to compete without competing.

Moreover, she understood the situation of this film series; it was the kind of movie aimed at fans.

The way it makes money at the box office is the same as that of the foreign film "Twilight".

Basically, it's all about the opening week box office, attracting fans to the cinema and raking in a lot of money, after which it's just garbage time.

This kind of movie might be successful at the box office, but don't expect it to be well-received by the audience.

However, there's nothing she can do now. Yang Mi has no other choice but to choose between popularity and reputation. It's a simple choice for her right now.

If you choose popularity and stay in the entertainment industry, you can still earn back your reputation one day.

But if she chooses reputation now, and the project fails, she will have no future.

This is also why Liu Taile did not influence Yang Mi to not accept the role in "Tiny Times".

Although this movie series is pretty bad, it's definitely a good opportunity that Yang Mi can't refuse right now.

Anyway, once "Under the Zhengyang Gate" airs next year, it will be able to salvage a lot of Yang Mi's reputation.

Then there's "Gu Jian Qi Tan," which could bring her popularity to new heights.

Even after she didn't marry Hawick Lau, her fan base remained strong.

So we just need to proceed steadily and surely.

Compared to Yang Mi at this point, Liu Taile should actually be more concerned about her career path.

After all, he has no fame in the industry at the moment, so it is completely impossible for him to participate in "Swords of Legends" next year.

Oh, right, Liu Taile wanted to play the lead role of Baili Tusu.

They want Huanrui to stop promoting their own people.

The "Baili Tusu" of the original timeline was not worthy of the excellent Feng Qingxue.

After a long chat on the phone, the secretly dating couple hung up and went about their own business.

Yang Mi continued filming "Tiny Times" while watching the Taiwanese people perform "monkey shows" for her.

Meanwhile, Liu Taile has also started filming his own micro-movie.
