The Fleeting Years of Chinese Entertainment

Although Lin Mo was touched by Zhu Yawen's concern, he still refused to admit defeat.

"Get lost! I'm a millionaire now, do I need you to support me? Do you know how much money I made selling the copyright to 'Lost in Thailand'? A full seven million! You'd better call me godfather, maybe when godfather is in a better mood I can take care of you."

We celebrate together when we win, and we shoulder the burden together when we lose!

The brotherhood between men is so unreasonable, even more so than that between women.

However, speaking of women, Lin Mo did have one who sent him a message to comfort him.

He didn't know where she got Lin Mo's phone number; he clearly remembered that he had only given it to Zhu Yawen.

"Director Kobayashi, don't be discouraged. Failure is not the end, but an opportunity to examine yourself and adjust your direction. Keep going! I believe you won't be defeated."

No wonder she's a girl who likes literary and inspirational quotes; even her messages are so elegant.

but…

I haven't been sentenced to death yet, have I? Why are they all acting like I've already failed?

Lin Mo accepted the sentiment, after all, even Zhou Yang, the female classmate he used to interact with the most, didn't pay much attention to him anymore. Lin Mo was already very gratified that Liu Yifei took the initiative to send him a message to encourage him.

After all, this girl has been busy with the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" project, and the fact that she still remembered him in the midst of her busy schedule fully demonstrates her loyalty.

However, her breakthrough role in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" has not yet been broadcast, and her fame has not yet taken off. Currently, she only has the role of the second female lead in "The Story of a Noble Family" to her name, so her audition process is unlikely to be smooth sailing.

In the long river of time, time is the fairest judge, silently recording everything that has passed.

Post-production on Lin Mo's film "Parasite" has been completed, and the finished film has been submitted for review.

The next step was to confirm the release date with China Film Group.

Lin Mo went with Xie Xiaojing to avoid being kicked out if he went alone.

Despite this, Lin Mo still received countless glares. Although they weren't openly disrespectful, Lin Mo was certain that they were secretly mocking his arrogance.

Xie Xiaojing was also subjected to criticism from others, which made Lin Mo feel somewhat sorry for his master.

But time will tell.

As soon as the film passed censorship, the major companies that invested in the film began to promote it.

Fortunately, most of those mocking Lin Mo are people within the industry, so it doesn't have much impact on domestic audiences. Therefore, movie fans are still looking forward to the release of Lin Mo's new movie.

With the release of "Cellphone", the promotion of Lin Mo's film has gradually gotten on track.

While Lin Mo was out "investigating," he discovered that many cinemas had already put up movie posters for "Parasite."

"It seems that despite the ridicule, at least they didn't lie about the publicity." Lin Mo nodded, looking at the huge poster at the cinema entrance.

During a break in the investigation, Lin Mo also bought a movie ticket for "Cellphone," intending to rewatch the film that almost gave Xiao Cui depression.

Because the protagonist Yan Shouyi in the movie "Cellphone" is believed to be based on Cui Yongyuan, and the plot of the movie contains many real-life allusions.

Xiao Cui's hometown is in rural Hebei, while Yan Shouyi's hometown is in rural Henan.

The program titles "Tell It Like It Is" and "One Thing at a Time" have similar connotations, and their dry humor hosting styles are also identical.

Xiao Cui resigned due to illness and stayed at home to recuperate. He was replaced by a female host, which is very similar to the ending of Yan Shouyi.

Even the names of the movie's protagonists, "Shouyi" and "Yongyuan," and "Wuyue" and "Hejing," are completely copied from the same mold.

Moreover, this film actually invited many of Cui Yongyuan's colleagues from CCTV to make cameo appearances, including Ju Ping, Dong Hao, Liu Yiwei, Jin Guizi, Huang Jianxiang, etc. Of course, these colleagues may not have known in advance what Feng Xiaogang was filming.

Given the high degree of overlap in the characters' personalities, it's inevitable that viewers would have doubts. This led to the audience automatically associating Yan Shouyi's infidelity with Cui Yongyuan and his private life, and even hurting Cui Yongyuan's family.

Although movies are a form of fictional art, Lin Mo believes that what Feng Xiaogang did was truly unethical.

After all, who could stand this situation? Moreover, the knowledge of the host in the video was something Feng Xiaogang personally asked Cui Yongyuan to help him with.

But the result was quite the opposite. The person had just helped you, and you turned around and stabbed them in the back. It's no wonder that your bad character became almost universally acknowledged.

……

After leaving the theater, Lin Mo couldn't help but admire how closely the film reflected everyday life, and how Ge You's acting was as consistently solid as ever.

Fan Bingbing's portrayal of the mistress was quite convincing. Unlike her naive portrayal of Jin Suo in "My Fair Princess," Fan Bingbing is now a mature woman, and her charm has been fully displayed.

Just as Lin Mo was returning to school and preparing to resume his normal daily life, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared before him.

"Hehe... What? Don't you recognize me?"

Liu Yifei waved her little hand, interrupting the somewhat bewildered Lin Mo.

"What are you doing here? I heard you went to Taiwan?"

Lin Mo remembered that Liu Yifei should be filming "Mayday Love" in Taiwan right now, so why is she suddenly at school? Has she already finished filming? Is it that fast?

"Yes, I went to Taiwan, but I came back as soon as the movie was finished. What? Don't you want to see me?" Liu Yifei pouted, looking a little unhappy.

"No, no, how could that be!" Lin Mo waved his hand and said, "You're so good-looking, I wish I could see you every day. How could I not want to see you?"

"That sounds nice! But why didn't I get any offers to act in your movies? You know, I was pretty free back then."

Lin Mo was a little embarrassed by Liu Yifei's words. Could she really say the role wasn't suitable for her? Of course not! Shu Chang could play the daughter in *Parasite*, so naturally Liu Yifei could too. It's just that this girl's acting skills…

"It's getting dark, have you had dinner yet? My treat."

Lin Mo chose to change the subject.

"Tch! I don't care if you treat me!"

Liu Yifei turned and left after saying that, but she turned back to Lin Mo's side after only a few steps.

"Here... is a gift for you."

"Another gift?"

"Don't give it back to me!"

"want!"

……

Watching Liu Yifei getting further and further away, Lin Mo gave up the idea of ​​going to dinner.

He really didn't expect that Liu Yifei would prepare gifts for him every time she went out to film and came back.

And what about him...?
