The Fleeting Years of Chinese Entertainment

Lin Mo believed he was no worse than him. If that Teacher Liu really dared to argue with him about actor salaries, Lin Mo figured he'd show him what it meant to be...

Chen can go, and so can Mo!

"Wah Gor's salary for this movie is 350 million, I wonder about Sister Zhang..."

Zhang Ziyi was clearly surprised by Lin Mo's words, after all, which actor in the industry doesn't hope that their value will continue to rise?

She thought Andy Lau's film salary was at least five or six million! She really didn't expect his actual film salary to be so low.

However, upon closer reflection, she could understand it, since actors' asking prices are definitely higher than their actual salaries.

Andy Lau's current asking price is around five million, but considering that his salary will not be increased for the time being, his actual salary should be around four million.

Lin Mo's film is worth a reduction in his salary, so 350 million doesn't seem so unacceptable.

Zhang Ziyi glanced at Teacher Liu sitting next to Lin Mo, but instead of speaking directly, she held up four fingers to Lin Mo, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Okay, deal! You'll be the female lead, Sister Zhang."

Lin Mo smiled and made the decision directly, without revealing Zhang Ziyi's asking price.

"Heh... Director Lin, aren't you afraid I'm talking about US dollars?"

With the dust settled, Zhang Ziyi suddenly chuckled and teased Lin Mo.

Lin Mo paused slightly, then smiled and said, "Heh... Sister Zhang, as long as you dare to accept it, I dare to give it to you."

Zhang Ziyi was stunned. She hadn't expected Lin Mo to have such a domineering side.

As for whether she dares to "make the fake real"?

Zhang Ziyi could only say: I still want to continue working in the entertainment industry in China!

"Director Lin, you're really efficient! The female lead has been decided just like that? Should we continue with the other actresses who auditioned for the female lead?" Teacher Liu finally spoke up for the first time.

"Hehe... Of course we'll continue. We agreed to have them audition, so we can't let them all come for nothing, right? This process has to go through."

"Hehe, alright, Director Lin, whatever you decide..."

……

Although the first broadcast of "Chinese Paladin" was in Taiwan, some local TV stations in mainland China are now showing some of its trailers.

Although the TV series hasn't been broadcast on satellite TV yet, Sister Cai has spared no effort in promoting it.

Several press releases targeting "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" were also issued.

Numerous stills from the drama have appeared on various online forums and portal websites, featuring Hu Ge as Li Xiaoyao, Liu Yifei as Zhao Ling'er, and Peng Yuyan as Tang Yu Xiaobao…

"Old Li, signing Liu Yifei is completely out of the question, but I won't just swallow this insult. Once 'Chinese Paladin' officially lands in mainland China, I'll definitely teach her a lesson."

While sending a friendly message to Liu Xiaoli, Sister Cai asked Liu Yifei to help promote "Chinese Paladin".

On the other hand, they hated the mother and daughter so much they wanted to tear them apart alive.

"Yinong, are you really sure? You want to break ties with them? You need to know... Liu Yifei isn't the same little actress she used to be."

Li Guoli looked rather troubled.

"She's now a true box office queen with a net worth of over 100 million yuan. Not only has Huayi Brothers been in contact with her, but she's also directly connected with Sony. And there are some rumors that... she has a very good relationship with that Lin Mo. Is it really worth it for you to want to get revenge on her?"

"Heh... Huayi?" Cai Yinong sneered.

"Given Liu Xiaoli's personality, she would never let Liu Yifei sign with Huayi! And Sony... that company's main business is overseas, its influence in China isn't that great, it can't affect Tangren."

"What about Lin Mo?" Li Guoli added.

Tsai Yinong's expression froze for a moment upon hearing this, but she quickly recovered.

"Heh... Lin Mo is quite a character, but Lao Li, do you really think Lin Mo would fall out with Tangren Media for the sake of an actor?"

"This…"

Li Guoli was a little speechless. In his opinion, to survive in this circle, one must weigh the pros and cons.

Compared to Liu Yifei, an actress with "no connections" in the industry, Tangren's influence is naturally much greater.

So if it were up to him to choose... he definitely wouldn't offend the Tang people for the sake of a woman.

However, despite his words, Li Guoli was not Lin Mo himself, so he dared not make any direct guarantees.

"But... what if? Lin Mo isn't that old. What if he really does act impulsively for a woman? What will we do then?"

Seeing Li Guoli's timid and submissive demeanor, Cai Yinong's face showed a hint of disappointment.

"Old Li, why have you become so cowardly? Even if Lin Mo has really lost his mind... and is going to break ties with Tangren for a woman, so what? No matter how powerful he is, he's only in the film industry. He doesn't have a place in the television industry yet. What are you afraid of?"

"But we're all in the entertainment industry after all...we'll run into each other all the time, so having more friends is always better than having more enemies, right? Besides...do you really only want to work in the television drama industry for the rest of your life?"

After thinking it over, Li Guoli still felt it was better to play it safe, since this circle is a place that values ​​interpersonal relationships and is a place where one must weigh the pros and cons.

He felt that Tsai Yinong was not calm enough and had lost the judgment that a normal person in the entertainment industry should have.

"Old Li, you..."

Sister Cai was speechless. She hadn't expected to be "betrayed" by her teammate before she even started to take revenge on Liu Yifei.

"You really disagree?" Sister Cai made a final effort.

Li Guoli frowned and shook his head, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Tsai Yinong smiled, but her smile was filled with bitterness and coldness…

"Fine, Lao Li, if you don't agree... then forget it. I won't force you, but... don't even think about stopping me."

After saying that, Tsai Yinong turned around and left...

As Li Guoli watched Cai Yinong's somewhat "resolute" back, he suddenly felt his right eye twitching violently.

"Sigh... Women! They're so easily swayed by emotions. I don't know if agreeing to form Tangren with her was the right or wrong thing to do?"

……

The Condor Heroes crew

"Achoo, achoo, achoo..."

Liu Yifei was eating a pomegranate that her mother had bought for her when she suddenly sneezed several times in a row.

"Strange, I haven't caught a cold... What's going on? Could it be that Xiao Mo is thinking about me again... Hehe!"

Miss Liu smiled and rubbed her nose, then looked at the pomegranate in her hand.

"Sigh... I wonder what Xiao Mo is doing now? I suddenly miss him!"
