Huayu: I'm surrounded by the most popular young actresses!

"Um..."

Li Gengxi stretched and then realized that there was a man lying next to him.

Her delicate hand reached out from under the covers, gently trying to touch the man's cheek.

This man wasn't exactly handsome or good-looking, but his behavior and demeanor deeply attracted her.

"Master?"

Lin Mo noticed Li Gengxi's belongings and reached out to hold her hand.

Both of them smiled sweetly at the same time.

Another nap.

The two of them didn't get up and wash up until noon.

However, before that, a piece of the bed sheet was missing in one place. I guess the cleaning staff will complain to the front desk when they come in.

Although Li Gengxi is Lin Mo's mentor in acting, Lin Mo takes care of this adorable young girl more in their daily life.

Lin Mo glanced at the number above Li Gengxi's head; it had unknowingly broken through to 90, only 1 point less than Zhou Ye.

90 seems to be a big threshold; anyone who breaks through to this level of favorability will develop a deep friendship with him.

What if this were a man...?

For no apparent reason, this thought popped into Lin Mo's mind, and then he shivered, a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.

"What's wrong, apprentice?"

After washing up, Li Gengxi's face became clean and fair, looking much fresher than last night.

"I've thought of something fun. Is Master heading to the film set?"

Li Gengxi nodded and said, "When you leave, don't let Sister He see me. I still need to help Xiaotong with her scenes. I'm leaving now."

Lin Mo stretched out his arms, and Li Gengxi looked on helplessly.

"You're so big, and you still need your master to carry you, really."

Li Gengxi came up to Lin Mo and gave him a warm hug.

Just as she was about to say "Is that enough?", Lin Mo's lips sealed her mouth.

The two then spent another tender moment together.

A few minutes later, Li Gengxi pushed Lin Mo away.

"You naughty apprentice, I'm going to be late!"

Li Gengxi went to the living room, found the short wig from the play, and put it on again.

With her short hair, she looks like a tomboy; her long-haired master has more charm.

Lin Mo watched Li Gengxi leave and waved to her.

He stared at the new skills that randomly appeared on the system panel and fell silent.

Skill: Cooking.

An actor who can't cook well isn't a good star.

Lin Mo laughed in exasperation when he saw the introduction.

Could this system be planning a fallback plan for him because it thinks he won't become a superstar?

The cooking skill can be upgraded to a maximum of 5 points, with each upgrade bringing significant changes.

With just one point of cooking skill, you can cook rice and fry eggs, just like a complete novice in the kitchen.

If you have even a little cooking skill, you'll learn how to make some simple recipes.

By 3 o'clock, you can easily cook ordinary home-style dishes.

By upgrading your skill to level 4, you will achieve the same culinary skills as a chef with over a decade of experience in a restaurant.

With these 5 culinary tips, you can accurately replicate any recipe in the world, and even evoke a long-awaited emotion in the taster.

Looking at this easy-to-learn cooking skill, Lin Mo fell into deep thought.

Skill points aren't hard to acquire; all he needs to do is go to various parties and greet people.

But it's not as simple as it sounds; after all, not just anyone can meet a celebrity.

"Since we're here, let's make the best of it."

Even if it's not used much, it can still be used to cook for Ono and Master in the future.

It shouldn't be that we won't need it.

After Lin Mo finished getting ready, he tidied himself up.

He didn't have many scenes, but he stayed in Li Gengxi's room the whole time, afraid that the hotel staff and Li Gengxi's management team would come in and find him in the act.

To be on the safe side, let's leave here first.

It seems Master left without eating; go buy her something delicious.

A sly smile crept across Lin Mo's face. His master's physique was noticeably different from before, which perfectly suited his aesthetic.

He first cautiously peeked through the peephole at the door, and after confirming that no one was around, he quickly slipped out of the hotel.

The fourth male lead has too few scenes, and his fame and status are insufficient, so he can only wait for the higher-ups to speak before his next move can be decided.

"There should be a few more scenes before my character wraps up. I'm really going to miss my master."

Lin Mo walked down the sunny street. Haicheng, which hadn't seen rain in a long time, exuded the sweltering heat of summer.

---

this day.

As usual, Lin Mo arrived at the film set to prepare for acting.

Zhang Wuju told him that today would be his last scene, and if there were any parts that needed to be added, he could try to revise the script.

His performance was recognized by the director, and his scenes with Li Gengxi were very effective, much better than some others.

However, today's scene involved both the male and female leads, and Lin Mo could also personally experience the hardships faced by the crew.

"What do you mean I have to be one second late?"

Guan Xiaotong sat in her assigned chair with a cold expression.

This chair looks very soft; it doesn't seem like something from a film crew.

In front of her, a man sitting on a roller sofa looked up but didn't look at Guan Xiaotong.

"I know this is a script aimed at women, but as the male lead, and a key figure in your efforts to secure investment, shouldn't I have a lot of screen time?"

Jin Shijia appeared to be talking to the director and screenwriter, but in reality, he was speaking loudly, and every word was meant for Guan Xiaotong to hear.

"Director, what do you say?"

As the female lead in this drama, my screen time is now almost less than Bu Guanjin's. Is this reasonable?

Guan Xiaotong sneered, as if she were telling a huge joke.

"Director, when did this become a female-centric drama? Isn't this just an ensemble drama about young urbanites?"

The director and several screenwriters caught in the middle nodded repeatedly.

They dared not offend Guan Xiaotong, nor dared to speak ill of the Jin family.

As the male and female leads of this drama, the two had a rather torturous struggle over billing order and screen time.

The key point is that today's scene isn't their own, but rather Lu Ran's, the fourth male lead.

After the male and female protagonists appear, Lu Ran's character is mostly relegated to the background.

But today's performance is different; Lin Mo needs to portray the contradictions and struggles of Lu Ran, the top student.

This is a three-way power struggle.

"An ensemble drama? With so many people, if it's not an ensemble drama, what is it?"

As soon as Guan Xiaotong finished speaking, the Jin family spoke up again.

"So, a large cast means it's an ensemble drama? I think I just heard something about a strong female lead, isn't that contradictory?"

Guan Xiaotong chuckled at the speechless director and said, "After all, this is a female-oriented work, so why give the male lead so much screen time?"

Watching the two confront each other, Lin Mo swallowed hard, cold sweat involuntarily beading on his forehead.

Although he was not in the eye of the storm, it did not mean that he was not afraid of it.

No wonder Zhou Ye couldn't get into this production crew...
