Run, Best Actor!

Yang Mi was extremely surprised when she received the script.

It should be noted that ever since she offended Chen Kaige and Chen Hong by filming "Caught in the Web" while simultaneously working on other projects, all of her resources for serious dramas have been cut off.

You should know that although she is young, she is an actress who started her career in serious dramas!

My first acting role was in the historical drama "Emperor Tang Minghuang" directed by Chen Jialin.

What gave her the foundation to become one of the "Four Little Actresses" was not only the hugely popular "Chinese Paladin 3," but also her two previous leading roles in serious dramas—"Wang Zhaojun" and "The Imperial Academy."

In addition to filming idol dramas in recent years, she has also filmed several serious dramas.

For example, he starred in "Detective Dee: The Prequel" and "The Legend of the Tiger Amulet", and participated in "The Great Case of Hongwu".

"The Great Qin Road" will not be broadcast for another 11 years, but it was actually filmed in 07.

Especially "The Legend of the Tiger Amulet", which is a drama directed by Guo Baochang, who also directed the legendary drama "The Grand Mansion Gate"!

However, all these resources were lost after she was unilaterally exploited by Chen Kaige and Chen Hong.

At the time, her agent, Zeng Jia, comforted her: "People should look forward. They've joined Mei Ah Entertainment, and they'll be working in the Hong Kong entertainment circle and making movies in the future. So what if they lose those TV drama resources?"

However, Yang Mi herself was unwilling to accept it.

She knew that serious dramas were unlikely to become hits.

However, the profits from a successful serious drama series are far greater than those from idol dramas.

Just like "Palace," which brought her a lot of boosts and even won her the Most Popular Award at the Shanghai Magnolia Awards.

However, the popularity award is not as prestigious as the Best Actress award.

But with this kind of idol drama, winning the Best Actress award is out of the question.

But if it's a serious drama, the chances of winning an award are much higher.

Unexpectedly, Liu Taile was able to help her get another script for a serious drama.

It's a period drama that she hasn't starred in before.

Previously, when she was six years old, she had acted in the period drama "Monkey Boy".

Yang Mi was just a child then, and that acting experience didn't leave a deep impression on her.

Moreover, she really liked the script for "Under the Zhengyang Gate"!

Just for this book, she had arguments with her agent Zeng Jia and her boyfriend Liu Kaiwei.

At that time, she had a movie contract, "HOLD LOVE," co-starring with her boyfriend Hawick Lau. Filming was scheduled to begin in April, and the movie was planned for release in August during the summer season.

With such a short production cycle, to put it bluntly, it's a movie that relies on the gimmick of the male and female leads forming a couple to fleece fans.

Yang Mi originally disliked that terrible movie, but she only accepted it out of consideration for her boyfriend.

Oh, that movie, Hawick Lau was the producer.

Then Yang Mi finally found a script she really liked, so she turned down the movie.

As a result, Zeng Jia and Liu Kaiwei gave him a good scolding.

Especially with the latter, their feelings for each other have cooled down somewhat.

However, Yang Mi has a stubborn temper.

Once a decision is made, nothing can change it.

She went directly to audition with director Lau Ka-shing without telling Zeng Jia and Liu Kaiwei.

Then she successfully landed the role of Su Meng, the female lead in the TV series—this top female celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry was eager to join the project, and Director Liu was overjoyed, so why would he turn her away?

Speaking of which, director Lau Ka-shing and Yang Mi had worked together in the past.

That was in 1994. Yang Mi starred in a movie called "Heroic Robbery," in which she played a little girl.

Lau Kar-shing was the martial arts choreographer on the set.

Although we had worked together, we didn't have any interaction at that time.

Their first real collaboration was thirty years later, in 2024, with the TV series "All Things Are Born".

It has become a remarkable story of both directing and acting success.

In this timeline, after the audition, Yang Mi became acquainted with Director Liu. When they started talking about their past experiences, Yang Mi learned about Fan Yuanyuan.

With her network expanded by one point, Yang Mi was naturally very happy.

Director Liu is becoming increasingly satisfied with Yang Mi.

As for Bian Xiaoxiao, who was considered a strong candidate during the auditions?

Who is that? I don't know them!

This troublesome guy recently stirred up a "backstabbing cult" incident, which has far-reaching repercussions.

Liu Jiacheng had already wanted to replace her, and now that Yang Mi had come along, he naturally let that other woman go.

Moreover, Director Liu has been in the TV drama industry for many years, with extensive connections and deep experience, so he's no less capable than Chen Kaige.

The two sides hit it off immediately, and Yang Mi directly signed an actress contract with the "Zhengyangmenxia" production team.

Having "made it a fait accompli," Zeng Jia had no choice but to refuse the role again.

Then in March, filming began in Yanjing, and after more than two months, the series "Under the Zhengyang Gate" was completed.

I really didn't take on any other projects during that time; I did indeed turn down that terrible movie, "HOLD LOVE."

"Honestly, Xiao Le, I should thank you!"

After chatting for a while, Yang Mi said seriously, "Luckily, you found me the script for 'Under the Zhengyang Gate' before, which gave me a way out. Otherwise, I would have no choice but to go down the same path as idol dramas now."

"It's also because of your own temper, Sister Mimi, that you insisted on being the first to side with Brother Wenzhuo."

Liu Taile shook his head and said, "Otherwise it wouldn't be like this, now all the resources in the Hong Kong entertainment circle have been cut off."

The two were referring to the "Donnie Yen vs. Vincent Zhao" controversy that broke out in March of this year, when Hong Kong actor Donnie Yen and mainland actor Vincent Zhao accused each other of problems with the script of the movie "Special Identity".

Yang Mi, who was already involved in the Hong Kong entertainment circle, was the first to side with Zhao Wenzhuo.

She had previously worked with Zhao Wenzhuo on the film "The Great Wudang," so when Zhao Wenzhuo was being attacked by the Hong Kong entertainment circle for his conflict with Donnie Yen, she publicly supported him: "I don't believe the rumors are true, and I believe that I'm on Brother Zhuo's side. When we worked together, he was completely down-to-earth and had no temper at all..."

This was undoubtedly seen as an act of betrayal by the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

As a result, all the Hong Kong film resources that Yang Mi had finally managed to secure were cut off.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have returned to the mainland to film the "Tiny Times" series.

"I'm just so angry!"

Yang Mi muttered, "Why are they bullying people like this? A whole group of people are criticizing one person! It's clearly bullying!"

"Hasn't the Hong Kong entertainment circle always been like this?"

Liu Taile calmly said, "Back in 04, the crew of 'The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws' revealed that Zhang Weijian and your idol Xie Tingfeng beat up teacher Wang Bozhao during filming."

Then a group of people actually jumped out and said that Teacher Wang Bozhao was in the wrong first, harassing the female makeup artist in the drama crew, and that the two of them were standing up for someone, so they used the filming as an excuse to beat her up.

This is clearly muddying the waters! It's obvious that those Hong Kong people are in the wrong, but they're trying to make it seem like both sides are at fault.

This glimpse reveals the characteristics of Hong Kong people: their tendency to form cliques, act arrogantly, spread rumors, and look down on mainlanders.

"Sister Mimi, I told you before that Hong Kong wasn't a good place to go, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened, you still have to go back to the mainland."

"Alright, I don't see things as clearly as you do, okay?"

Yang Mi replied irritably, "Alright, let's not talk about me anymore, let's talk about you."

Xiao Le, what are your plans for the future?

"To be honest, I haven't decided yet."

Facing Yang Mi, Liu Taile revealed his true feelings, "It's just that my leg..."

As he spoke, he gently patted his injured leg, "Even if it heals completely, I'm afraid I won't be able to run that fast anymore."

For sprinters, these legs are their lifeline!

If something goes wrong, your career will definitely be in jeopardy.

Moreover, given Liu Taile's current situation—his ankle is broken and has a steel plate inserted—even if he recovers and the steel plate is removed, he will never be able to return to his original state.

At most, 80% is the maximum.

Therefore, to put it bluntly, from the moment Liu Taile fractured his bone, his athletic career began its countdown.

Liu Taile is not someone who can take things on but can't let them go.

His parents taught him from a young age: When you win, you should win with honor; when you lose, you should lose with dignity.

So after the surgery, the family of three discussed his future, and he decided to leave.

How can you be so negative?!

Yang Mi couldn't bear to see him so dejected. "The Liu Taile I know isn't like this!"

He is a perpetually cheerful, optimistic, and confident person!

Even if everyone thinks he can't do it, he will do everything in his power to prove that everyone else is wrong!

Four years ago, you showed the whole world just how fast we Chinese can run!

Don't you know how many people were inspired after your match?!

Just like Liu Changchun, a track and field athlete from the Republic of China era, who can be called the first Chinese to participate in the Olympics.

In 1932, the 10th Olympic Games were held in Los Angeles, USA. Liu Changchun was the only athlete from China to participate in that Olympic Games.

Although Mr. Liu only participated in two events at that Olympics, the 100-meter and 200-meter races, he was eliminated in the first round in both and missed the finals.

He was originally scheduled to participate in the 400-meter event, but withdrew due to physical exhaustion.

Then, four years later at the Berlin Olympics, Mr. Liu Changchun once again represented the country, participating in the 100m, 200m, and 4×100m relay events, ultimately finishing 5th, 5th, and 6th respectively, failing to qualify for the next round.

Even though his competition results were not good.

In that era of foreign invasion, national decline, and a very low international standing, Mr. Liu Changchun bravely stepped forward and became the first Chinese athlete to officially participate in the Olympic Games, demonstrating the sporting spirit of the Chinese people to the world.

This is truly commendable.

It is thanks to Mr. Liu's example that the country has vigorously developed sports, especially after the founding of the People's Republic of China and the reform and opening up.

Finally, starting with the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, things began to blossom and bear fruit!

At that Olympic Games, the Chinese mainland delegation won 15 gold, 8 silver and 9 bronze medals, ranking 4th in the medal standings.

Liu Xiang, who emerged at the 04 Athens Olympics, won the gold medal in the men's 110-meter hurdles for the first time at the Olympics, bringing glory to the country and inspiring future generations.

This led to Liu Taile's remarkable achievement four years ago, where he broke through to win a silver medal in the men's 100 meters, the fastest event that best embodies the Olympic spirit.

China's century-long Olympic journey has been marked by a spirit of perseverance passed down through generations!

"Liu Taile, how can you give up so easily? Otherwise, outsiders won't think that we Chinese surrender easily when faced with setbacks!"

Yang Mi said with exasperation, "As long as you can still stand, as long as you can still run, you should return to the track and prove to the world—"

We Chinese people can lose, we can be defeated, but we will never surrender!

Upon hearing this, Liu Taile stared at Yang Mi with a shocked expression, speechless for a long time.

He now understood why Yang Mi, this woman, experienced several setbacks in later generations, and her career once plummeted to its lowest point.

But in the end, she always managed to turn her career around with her work.

He used to think that Yang Mi was lucky because every time she encountered a major setback, she would come across a script that was very suitable for her.

Then, a real-life "heroine's comeback" unfolded!

It's because of her indomitable spirit.

What doesn't kill me makes me stronger!

Yang Mi said it, and she did it.

Therefore, after more than ten years of ups and downs, the top celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry have changed one after another, but Yang Mi has always remained in that position, deeply rooted.

She truly lives life to the fullest!

Oh, now that I've mentioned it, I think everyone has figured it out.

That's right, Liu Taile is a reincarnated person; he has memories of the future!
