Chapter 5: Spring has arrived, and all things are in bloom again...
"Is that all?"
Li Mo soon received a thick document containing the script, filming plan, and other materials.
Ling Yue has a significant role in "Swords of Legends" and is a very valuable third male lead.
Not only does it have a complete romantic storyline, featuring a popular older woman/younger man romance, but the characters are also relatively well-developed.
This role marked Li Mo's first time playing the third male lead, and it was also his first major role in the entertainment industry, bringing him into the public eye.
Li Mo values it quite a bit, and to show how much he values it, he will abstain from alcohol starting today!
"Mr. Li, please sign here."
Mr. Jiang from Huanrui brought Li Mo to his office, took out a document, and handed it to Li Mo to sign.
Li Mo didn't waste any words and signed it directly, trusting Qin Lan.
In fact, Li Mo didn't feel much involvement in the entire process of getting the role.
No one cared about his thoughts; everyone was only concerned about Qin Lan's feelings, even Yang Mi was the same.
It's certainly not a pleasant feeling to be ignored, but it's not as unpleasant as it sounds.
We're all men, there's no need to be so dramatic.
"The total salary is 300,000. Don't think it's too low, considering you're a newcomer. It will be paid in three installments, you know that, right?"
Li Mo nodded, meaning he would receive 100,000 yuan today, enough to raise another Yang Chaoyue.
"Okay, the money will be transferred directly to your company's account. That's all for now. Give it your all, I'm rooting for you!"
"It definitely will."
A short while later, a message appeared on Li Mo's phone.
Li Mo looked at the room number on his phone and curled his lip in disdain.
"You still say you're not addicted!"
[The next order will be refreshed soon. Please prepare to accept the order.]
[The next order is coming soon, host, please prepare to accept it.]
Unlike before, this time there were actually two orders, which was somewhat unexpected for Li Mo.
He originally thought he could only take one order at a time, but two orders weren't so bad either; he was hoping to get more orders.
Only in this way can one grow rapidly.
Li Mo is not satisfied with the current situation; he needs to become famous as soon as possible!
Half an hour later, Li Mo appeared at the hotel entrance and found the room.
Without needing to speak, she knocked three times at a specific frequency, and the door opened automatically. Qin Lan, dressed in a lace nightgown, pulled Li Mo inside.
Just as she was about to take the next step, Li Mo stopped her in time.
"What kind of talk is this, doing this in broad daylight?"
"Does this live up to the education you received?"
"When you're engrossed in this, have you ever thought about how your childhood dream was to be a scientist?"
"Pfft~"
Li Mo's expression was very serious, but his hands didn't stop moving, which amused Qin Lan so much that she slapped the hand off her thigh and then couldn't help but laugh.
However, Li Mo's words also make sense; there's still plenty of time, so why rush?
With nothing else to do, the two decided to start chatting about what had happened that day.
"Thanks for today!" Li Mo said first.
However, Qin Lan didn't want Li Mo's thanks, and replied irritably:
"What? Isn't this the deal you mentioned?"
"I can see clearly whether there's any affection involved, and I acknowledge that affection! I will repay it!"
If Qin Lan helped Li Mo land a minor supporting role, then it's naturally the result of Li Mo's hard work.
However, as a member of the main characters, Ling Yue is probably not worth that price unless Xiao Li Mo is truly inlaid with gold.
Therefore, Li Mo acknowledges the kindness shown to him and will repay it in the future.
Qin Lan didn't say anything more, but her gaze towards Li Mo became even more complicated.
"Are you planning to stay at Jaywalk Studio all along?"
The fact that she asked this question is enough to prove that she decisively chose Li Mo over Yang Mi.
"Your best friend will be hurt if she hears you say that." Li Mo's expression was quite amused.
Upon seeing this expression, Qin Lan couldn't help but roll her eyes at Li Mo, muttering to herself, "He doesn't know what's good for him!"
But since the topic had already been started, Qin Lan ignored Li Mo's sarcasm and continued speaking.
"Actually, you were lucky to get this role. There was an artist from Emperor Entertainment Group named Chen Weiting who was competing with you."
"Given Emperor's resources, I wouldn't have been able to succeed, but luckily, Emperor wasn't willing to invest in him, which allowed you to snag a bargain."
Li Mo didn't say anything, but simply put his arm around Qin Lan and looked up at the ceiling. After Qin Lan finished speaking, everything that he couldn't understand before became clear.
"What I really want to say is that Jaywalk's attitude towards you is stingy... and unwilling to invest!"
Qin Lan lay on Li Mo's chest, expressing her thoughts through Li Mo's heartbeat.
"Moreover, Jaywalk has always planned to go public..."
Qin Lan revealed another piece of information, and Li Mo's eyes immediately sharpened.
Given Jaywalk Studio's current strength, if it wants to venture into the capital market, it will inevitably have to take risky moves, which will inevitably come at the cost of burning through its artists to advance its capital plans.
When Zeng Jia comes to the company, she'll bring a whip. When she encounters a lazy artist, she'll simply say, "Go work," followed by another lash.
"Tell me, if it weren't for me, that would be fine. Although Jiaxing is not strong right now, you don't have any other choice."
Now that you have me, you are less dependent on the small resources provided by Jiaxing, but Jiaxing's current strength is not enough to provide you with any big projects.
Even if its strength skyrockets after listing, this process will still take no less than two years, so there is a problem of a development mismatch period in between.
Qin Lan explained it very clearly, and Li Mo quickly understood.
The so-called development mismatch period is actually because Jiaxing needs two years to improve itself, but Li Mo can't wait two years.
In two years, three batches of people can be eliminated in the entertainment industry.
"It seems leaving Jaywalk Studio is now inevitable!"
"How about... I help you connect with someone powerful?"
"No need for now, don't worry, I'll handle this."
Some plans were vaguely forming in Li Mo's mind.
As dusk settled, Zhao Zhongxiang's words about humanity and nature echoed in the room.
Spring is here, and it's the season for everything to...
It's not spring now, but the two of them are indeed...
Two hours later, the two people, drenched in sweat, lay on the bed.
Li Mo looked up at the ceiling again and weakly reiterated: Starting today, I will abstain from alcohol again!
Fortunately, there were two beds in the room. The two took a shower and fell into a deep sleep on the other bed.
"Huh, I think I forgot someone? Oh well, never mind..."
At this moment, Yang Chaoyue was still waiting at Li Mo's house. The capable Yang Chaoyue had already perfectly arranged his luggage in this small room.
However, no matter how well Yang Chaoyue arranged things, Li Mo's small rented room still felt very cramped.
Meanwhile, at Jiaxing Media, with the casting finalized, the list of those cast also appeared in the company's group chat.
This will inevitably spark some discussion.
