Chapter 125

Zhou Yiwei.

Many people may not be very familiar with his name.

But he has a role that could be said to have become a hit all over the country.

"This person is my beloved kin, my brother-in-arms!"

"We need more money!"

That's right.

The role that made him break out is precisely Ding Xiu from Embroidered Spring Sword!

People gave him the nickname, the Money‑Adding Devotee!

Zhou Yiwei differs from Zhang Songwen; he has now settled down and started a family.

He married a well‑known host, Zhu Dan.

He once hosted a variety show that was especially popular, called I Love Remembering Lyrics.

Here.

Zhou Yiwei hung up the phone, jumping around as if on springs, so delighted that he left Zhu Dan beside him dumbfounded.

What's wrong with my husband?

"Honey, what's gotten into you? You're acting weird," Zhu Dan hurriedly asked, moving closer.

Zhou Yiwei grabbed Zhu Dan's shoulders, his face full of excitement, as if he'd just won the lottery: "Honey, do you know what Songwen just said when he called me?"

"Could it be... that Teacher Zhang Songwen is getting married?"

Zhu Dan blinked in surprise.

Hearing Zhu Dan's words, Zhou Yiwei froze for a moment, then shook his head and said excitedly: "No, no—Songwen signed with Morning Light Media, I told you before. His boss, Director Lin Mo, just said on the phone that Lin's new drama has a role suited for me, and he wants me to play it!"

Ah?

At that moment, Zhu Dan was dazed.

Director Lin Mo's new drama?

To have my husband appear in it...

Good heavens!

She couldn't have misheard, could she?

"Honey... is this... really true?" Zhu Dan then became excited as well.

You see.

This is Director Lin Mo we're talking about!

The entire entertainment industry doesn't know how many actors are rushing, begging to get a role in his films!

Such tremendous fortune has actually fallen on my husband!

Zhou Yiwei nodded repeatedly, dead serious: "Really, really—Songwen wouldn't lie to me!"

"Honey, this is simply fantastic!"

Zhu Dan, overcome with excitement, threw herself into Zhou Yiwei's arms.

The film I Am Not a Medicine God.

The actor playing the male lead, Cheng Yong, Xu Zheng, has already been confirmed.

And the actress playing the female lead, Liu Sihui, is Zhang Ziyi!

Zhou Yiwei will play Cheng Yong's brother‑in‑law.

There is also an important role.

That role is Lv Shouyi!

For this actor, Lin Mo has two candidates in mind.

One is Wang Chuanjun from the original film.

And the other...

He thinks Chao Ge, that is Deng Chao, would also be very suitable for this role.

He was incredibly impressive as Xiao Feng in Blazing Heat!

After all.

Lin Mo is no longer short of money.

Since we've already brought in Zhang Ziyi.

What's wrong with raising the film's quality a notch?

So, Lin Mo made his decision.

We'll just invite Chao Ge!

Saying it, doing it—Lin Mo immediately called Chao Ge to arrange dinner tonight.

Coincidentally, Chao Ge is in Mo Du.

He has finished filming Running Man, hasn't taken on any new work lately, and is at home looking after the kids.

Besides Chao Ge.

Lin Mo also called Director Xu to set up dinner tonight.

He had his assistant book a restaurant.

In the evening.

Lin Mo arrived at the restaurant early, waiting for the two.

After all, when you invite someone to eat, you can't be late, can you?

Not long after.

Director Xu is here!

He still doesn't know that Lin Mo invited Deng Chao.

"Senior brother!"

Lin Mo greeted him with a wave, then sat down and poured him a cup of tea.

"Junior brother, it's just you? Where's Re Ba?" Xu Zheng was a bit puzzled.

"The Steal Pen our company is filming has a role suitable for Re Ba; she's joined the crew!" Lin Mo said with a smile.

"Oh, I see." Xu Zheng nodded, then asked, "Just the two of us tonight?"

"Of course not. I also invited an old friend you know; he'll be here soon." Lin Mo said with a mysterious smile.

Hm?

That did make Xu Zheng a bit curious.

About ten minutes or so.

Deng Chao pushed the door open and came in.

"Director Lin!"

"Hey, Director Xu is also here!"

At first glance, Deng Chao saw Xu Zheng.

After all, his shiny bald head was very eye‑catching.

"It's Chao Er!"

When Xu Zheng saw it was Deng Chao, he was also taken aback.

So the acquaintance the junior brother mentioned was him.

After a few words of small talk, Lin Mo teased, "Chao Ge has become a stay‑at‑home dad, circling the kids every day."

Deng Chao replied with a laugh, "Men are the same at this age."

These days, aside from work, his focus is on family.

Xu Zheng agreed, "Chao Er is right; look at me, I also stay home with my daughter!"

Lin Mo smiled and added, "Everyone says the wife and kids are the warmest spot, but your life is truly enviable."

"Junior brother, if you're jealous, go ahead and get a certificate with Re Ba; then you can enjoy it too, hahaha!" Xu Zheng said, laughing.

Chao Ge joined in, "Director Lin, when you get married you must let me know, I'll be your performance guest!"

"No, Chao Ge, if you were my wedding performance guest, wouldn't you steal all the spotlight from me!"

Isn't that right.

Chao Ge was just being theatrical.

Lin Mo still remembered when Chao Ge performed on the Spring Festival Gala in his previous life, singing and dancing so wildly that even the gala director was baffled!

"Hahaha!"

Hearing that, Xu Zheng and Deng Chao couldn't help but laugh.

After the laughter, Lin Mo got to the point: "Chao Ge, do you have any open schedule lately?"

Upon hearing that.

Deng Chao, at first, hadn't reacted yet, "Yes, what's up?"

Meanwhile, Xu Zheng immediately understood; the junior brother was preparing to invite Deng Chao to act.

"Sss… Director Lin, you have a new film?"

Immediately, Deng Chao seemed to recall something and hurriedly said.

Seeing this, Lin Mo and Xu Zheng exchanged a smile.

Lin Mo nodded and laughed, "Yes, a new film is in preparation; we're just missing you, Chao Ge. That's why I invited you out today—to ask if you have any schedule!"

"Yes, there must be!" Deng Chao said, getting excited.

Even if he had no schedule, he'd make room.

"My senior brother will play the male lead in my new film; Chao Ge I want you to play the second male lead. What do you think? This role is very challenging. Among all the actors in the circle, you were the first I thought of; only your acting skill can handle it!" Lin Mo said with a grin.

Upon hearing that, Deng Chao patted his chest excitedly, "Director Lin, you trust me so much; I must perform well!"

Lin Mo then revealed a big piece of news: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, the female lead in my film is Zhang Ziyi!"

Now Xu Zheng and Deng Chao were both stunned.

"Junior brother, your writing is impressive, you even got Zhang Ziyi!" Xu Zheng exclaimed.

Isn't that right.

In the entertainment circle, now except for Empress Gong who can outshine Zhang Ziyi, other female actors, whether in fame or acting skill, can't match her.

"Impressive, Director Lin!" Deng Chao's eyes widened when he heard Zhang Ziyi was the female lead.

"Mainly we made some money and wanted to raise the film's quality!"

Lin Mo's offhand remark left the two choked up.

Alright.

They really were convinced by that.

Charlotte's Trouble, The Richest Man in Xihong City, Let the Bullets Fly...

The box office of these three films combined is close to breaking a hundred billion.

And they were all major investments by Lin Mo.

One can imagine.

How much he can split off.

And that doesn't even include the several hit web dramas from Morning Light Media.

"Junior brother, you said that, I don't even know how to respond." Xu Zheng gave a bitter smile.

"Haha, just joking, just joking."

Lin Mo laughed and smoothed things over, and the atmosphere became lively again.

The three drank while chatting.

Lin Mo also gave Chao Ge a rundown of the general plot of I Am Not a Medicine God.

After hearing it, Chao Ge was really excited.

He wished the movie could start filming right away.
