Chapter 123: Zhang Ziyi Wants a Role!

Re Ba is still relatively nervous.

After all.

All of you present here.

They are all top‑tier figures in the Entertainment Circle.

"Re Ba, come, come, sit here!" Zhang Ziyi gestured grandly, greeting Re Ba with a beaming smile, "Oh my, you're truly a living beauty, even more fresh‑looking than in the photos!"

Upon hearing that, Re Ba's cheeks instantly flushed with two red clouds, and she quickly replied sweetly, "Sister Zi Yi, you're flattering me! I'm so happy to see you, I've always especially liked your works!"

This is Zhang Ziyi, after all.

Whenever she attends events, she's always the most eye‑catching presence.

Zhang Ziyi took Re Ba's hand, affectionately like a sister, "Let's not be so formal; what drama have you been busy with lately…".

And Zhang Ziyi's enthusiasm made Re Ba feel like she'd met an older sister.

Of course.

Re Ba isn't foolish either.

She knows it's all because of her man.

Zhou Yun also joined the chat.

After all, at this table there are only the three of them, all women.

Over here.

Lin Mo was drinking and chatting with Jiang Wen Laoge, Ge Daye, and Feng Dao.

Men, after all.

At this dining table, how could there be no drinking?

"Director Lin, I heard Teacher Jiang say you're planning a new film, what's the genre? Share it with us~" Feng Xiaogang asked with a grin.

"Oh, Director Lin has a new movie?" Ge You also showed interest.

The same.

The few people present all wore curious expressions.

"It's a realist‑genre film, adapted from real events a few years ago in the country…" Lin Mo didn't hold back and gave everyone a brief explanation.

Someone might think.

You're saying this out loud; aren't you worried someone will snatch it and make a movie first?

That's overthinking.

After all, everyone here is well‑known and reputable.

Anyone who does such a thing…

They'd instantly be ruined and disgraced.

"This film sounds interesting!" Wang Zhonglei said, instantly becoming interested.

"Director Lin, if you make this film, it could cause a massive earthquake!"

After hearing that, Zhang Yi Mou's eyebrows twitched.

"However, if the film releases and grosses high, sparking social reaction, that's definitely a good thing!" Chen Daoming nodded.

"Box office will surely be high; Director Lin's name is a guarantee," Ge Daye's remark made everyone laugh.

Indeed.

Lin Mo now carries his own box‑office draw.

As long as his film's content quality is high, the box office can't be lacking!

"Hey, you guys are getting ahead of yourselves; I haven't even finished the script yet~" Lin Mo said with a wave.

Then Lin Mo shifted his tone, smiling, "But back to the point, you brothers happen to be here; I think this film has potential—any interest in investing a hand for me?"

At that, Jiang Wen was the first to respond, "Little brother, your new film—big brother must support it. Moreover, if this film catches the higher‑ups' attention, you'll make a fortune!"

Wang Zhonglei quickly added, "Count me in; Director Lin's script needs no further persuasion!"

Having invested in "Let the Bullets Fly" before, he's tasted the sweet side.

"Yo, there's also this good thing~"

Chen Daoming and Zhang Yi Mou exchanged a smile, both seeing clearly that Lin Mo was leading everyone to wealth.

None of those present are fools.

Everyone is sharp.

"Director Lin, this cup is to you!"

"Director Lin, I'll toast you as well!"

"And me!"

The meal of eating and drinking continued until early morning before ending.

Even though Lin Mo's drinking capacity is already extremely high, he was still a bit unable to keep up.

After all.

These few brothers.

They're all seasoned drinkers.

Not opponents, not opponents!

On the car back home.

It was still Jiang Wen Laoge's assistant driving.

Actually, Re Ba also has a driver's license.

But…

She isn't familiar with this Yanjing either.

In the car.

「Mo Ge, I added Zi Yi on WeChat! She said she's returned to Mo Du and invited me to hang out, I'm so happy! 」 Re Ba said happily.

Like Zhang Ziyi, a star who's been famous for a long time.

Houses are everywhere across the country.

Mo Du, needless to say, is an international metropolis.

Lin Mo heard that, the corner of his mouth curled into a smile: "You've gained another sister again~"

「Mm, Zi Yi is doing well~」 Re Ba nodded.

「Make more friends, look at me—friends are everywhere in the Entertainment Circle! 」 Lin Mo said with a smile.

「That's right, Mo Ge, you're a social butterfly~! 」

Re Ba replied playfully.

Meanwhile, in another car, Zhang Ziyi, Chen Daoming, and Zhang Yimou were chatting.

「Director Lin, don't let his young age fool you—he feels just like someone my age; nowadays young people are all so mature~」 Chen Daoming spoke first, his tone carrying a hint of approval.

Zhang Yimou picked up the thread: "Exactly, exactly, I calculated—Lin Mo seems to be only twenty-four or five; my daughter is older than him and still acts like a child, compared to Lin Mo, he's far behind."

Zhang Ziyi felt moved and took the opportunity to say: "Speaking of which, I'd really like to collaborate on a film with Director Lin; Director Zhang, Teacher Chen, what do you think? How about I go ask him for a role?"

Chen Daoming said with a smile: "Mm, Zi Yi suits this kind of film; who knows, if you act in Director Lin's new movie, you might even win an award!"

Zhang Yimou also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it suits you!"

「Alright, then I'll treat Director Lin to a meal tomorrow and ask him! 」

The next day.

Lin Mo received a call from Zhang Ziyi.

She said she wanted to treat him to a meal and asked him to bring Re Ba along.

Lin Mo was still quite surprised.

After arriving at the place, they chatted for a while.

Only then did Lin Mo understand the meaning of Zhang Ziyi inviting him to this meal.

「Director Lin, does this film have a suitable role for me? I'd like to ask for a role~! 」

Upon hearing that, Lin Mo was dumbfounded.

Immediately after regaining his composure, Lin Mo smiled and said: "Yes, Zi Yi sister, you're right—there really is one, the female lead in this film is perfect for you!"

In I Am Not a Medicine God, the female lead Liu Si Hui—this role is perfect for Zhang Ziyi.

If she were to play it, the effect would absolutely be explosive!

Before, Lin Mo would definitely not spend money to hire such a big-name actor.

Now, though.

He's no short of money, so his demands on actors naturally increase a bit.

Since Zhang Ziyi proactively suggested it, Lin Mo naturally agrees to invite her to participate in this film.

「Ah? 」

「The female lead? Isn't it supposed to be Re Ba's younger sister? 」

Zhang Ziyi was stunned for a moment.

She thought that in Lin Mo's film, the female lead was reserved for Re Ba.

Upon hearing that, Re Ba laughed and explained: "Zi Yi sister, my acting skills.. aren't up to this kind of role, and I've already taken on a new drama."

Re Ba is a very reasonable person.

She knows her acting skills absolutely cannot handle this kind of role.

So it's naturally impossible for her to bring up to Mo Ge the demand that she wants to play the female lead.

「Alright! 」

Upon hearing that, Zhang Ziyi felt a weight lift from her heart, and she smiled at Lin Mo: "Director Lin, I'm really looking forward to working with you!"

Lin Mo also smiled and replied: "Me too!"

After the meal, the three got along swimmingly, and the collaboration was thus happily settled.
