Chapter 199: Talking about Shan Cheng

Golden Rooster Award.

Lin Mo is here for the second time.

He could be counted as an acquaintance, right?

Last year's "Let the Bullets Fly" swept all the major Golden Rooster Award categories.

And this year...

It's probably nothing unexpected.

How to put it...

Lin Mo even thought that maybe he should stop entering these film festivals in the future.

He doesn't care about these awards.

But thinking about it… other actors need them, you know.

So there's nothing he can do about it.

This year's Golden Rooster Award has a good local selection.

In Shan Cheng.

Shan Cheng is great.

Lin Mo has been wanting hot pot for a long time.

But the hot pot from elsewhere doesn't have that flavor.

He is originally from Chuan Province; in a past life he spent six months in Shan Cheng.

The hot pot in Shan Cheng really isn't much like the one in Chuan Province.

As for hot pot from elsewhere...

That's even less worth mentioning; I'm too lazy to bring it up.

Re Ba, of course.

No need to say that.

Her little Pang Di nickname isn't without reason.

She's a little foodie.

I heard they're going to Shan Cheng this time, and it made her overjoyed.

"Mo Ge, let's stay in Shan Cheng a few extra days this time; I want to learn the Shan Cheng hot‑pot recipe!" Re Ba said, hugging Lin Mo's arm.

"Sure, no problem, whatever you want!" Lin Mo said with a smile.

The actors from Morning Light Media.

There aren't any unknown ones.

Shen Teng and Ma Li need no introduction; they're the golden duo.

Then there's Xiao Tian.

This girl is now being called the Campus Drama Goddess.

Zhang Songwen, no need to say more; the series Wild Storm made the whole nation know him.

Xiao Yuliang further, thanks to his "Little Brother" role in Steal Pen, became a popular young actor.

As for Wei Xiang, though.

He's just a little bit behind.

Although he hasn't played a leading role yet, his supporting roles have all been outstanding.

By the way, there's also Chen Yao.

She just joined Morning Light not long ago.

But now her visibility is really high.

The label on her reads "First Generation Mo Girl".

Although "Wolf Warrior" hasn't officially premiered, she already has three million Weibo followers.

Even setting aside her acting, her looks have attracted a lot of Lsp… fans.

Here's the thing.

With the Golden Rooster Award being held, the actors from Morning Light Media have all received invitations, of course.

Such an important film festival, of course they have to go and see it.

In the company's group chat.

Everyone is chatting away.

They're all @‑ing Xiao Tian.

Shen Teng: "@Tian Xiwei, Xiao Tian, when we get to Shan Cheng, you have to recommend the local specialties to the brothers, like which hot‑pot restaurant has authentic flavor!"

Ma Li: "I've been craving this for ages!"

Zhang Songwen: "Shan Cheng hot pot, hearing you talk about it makes me drool!"

Wei Xiang: "+1"

Xiao Yuliang: "+1"

Chen Yao: "+1"

Because Chen Yao just joined Morning Light Media.

So she isn't very close with the other actors in the company.

They've only met a few times.

But…

Having been with the Wolf Warrior crew for so long, she's somewhat integrated into the Entertainment Circle now.

If you want to blend into the Entertainment Circle.

The first thing is you need a thick skin, be good at talking, and have high emotional intelligence.

Most importantly, make lots of connections!

Of course.

All of this was told to her by the Boss.

Chen Yao kept this principle firmly in mind.

Because the Boss is the example.

When the trailer for "Wolf Warrior" was released.

Half the Entertainment Circle helped to repost it.

And also the Boss's connections..

She wouldn't even dare to think about it.

Over here.

Xiao Tian is filming on set.

Just after taking a break, she saw a @ mention of her in the group.

She of course knows that the Golden Rooster Award is being held.

Actually, everyone in the Entertainment Circle knows.

And the venue is in Shan Cheng.

Although she is a TV drama actress, she also received an invitation to go broaden her horizons and, while at it, visit her parents.

Since the beginning of the year until now, she hasn't gone back.

"Sure, no problem. When the time comes, I'll take you to eat the best, most authentic hot pot in Shan Cheng!"

Xiao Tian replied something in the group.

Then, she saw Senior Brother @ herself.

"Xiao Tian, do you know any hot‑pot master? Let me introduce you to Re Ba sister; she wants to learn!"

Seeing Senior Brother's words, Xiao Tian hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, I have a relative who runs a hot‑pot restaurant!"

Her relative's hot‑pot place actually tastes pretty good.

Then.

A few seconds later.

Re Ba started a video call with Xiao Tian.

"Hey, Xiao Tian!"

Re Ba greeted enthusiastically; in the frame she was comfortably sitting at home, with Lin Mo right beside him.

Xiao Tian's side also wore a smile, "Re Ba sister, Senior Brother, good evening!"

Re Ba instantly spotted Xiao Tian's costume, and curiously asked, "Xiao Tian, are you at Hengdian? Why are you in ancient costume—did you pick up a new role?"

While speaking, she turned to glance at Lin Mo, who wore a bewildered expression; how could he possibly know about this?

Of course Lin Mo didn't know.

It was arranged for her by Liu Qin.

He wanted to shift her development direction a bit.

"Re Ba sister, Liu Jie said I've done enough campus dramas and wants me to try a different direction; this is my first ancient‑costume drama..." Xiao Tian said.

"Oh, I see!" Re Ba suddenly understood.

"Indeed, you've done a lot of campus dramas. I opened Penguin Video, and your face is everywhere in them," Re Ba said half‑jokingly. Though a bit exaggerated, Xiao Tian really did film many campus dramas this year.

Re Ba and Xiao Tian chatted over video for about half an hour.

The two also made a plan.

When the time comes, they'll go to Shan Cheng, shop together, and sample the local cuisine.

Mainly because Xiao Tian is a local.

September 15th.

The Golden Rooster Award is being held in Shan Cheng.

That day, quite a few fanatics flew to Shan Cheng.

Never underestimate the craziness of these star‑chasing fans.

One by one they shout to cheer on their own brothers.

Lin Mo and Re Ba arrived a day early.

As for Xiao Tian.

She has already been back for two days.

Just then, hearing that Re Ba sister and Senior Brother had arrived.

She hurriedly ran over.

Not only her, but Shen Teng, Ma Li and the others were also there.

In the evening, everyone gathered to eat hot pot; it counted as a small company gathering.

Shen Teng smiled and said to Lin Mo, "Boss, this Golden Rooster Award you'll surely shine again!"

Ma Li joined in, "No need to say, our Boss will definitely bring all the awards home!"

The others also flattered, and Lin Mo, seeing this, laughed, "Alright, alright, stop fawning over me!"

"Ha ha!"

Because they're that familiar.

Moreover, if this were a private gathering, everyone would speak freely.

Of course, those who can make a name for themselves in the entertainment circle.

Their emotional intelligence is naturally not low.

So they know what to say, they have propriety.

"Xiao Chen, how do you feel at school since the start of the semester?"

Lin Mo then looked toward Chen Yao and asked.

Upon hearing this.

Everyone also looked toward Chen Yao.

And Chen Yao first was stunned, then immediately said: "I.. I.. I'm okay..."

Actually.

Since the start of the semester.

She went to Shanghai Theatre Academy, always feeling somewhat unable to fit in.

Lin Mo naturally also noticed.

So he smiled and said: "Just get used to it, I, and your Re Ba sister, Xiao Tian also came this way."

Upon hearing this.

Re Ba also nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, Xiao Chen, I was just like you at first; after becoming famous, I always felt a bit unable to fit into campus life, luckily there's Mo Ge..."

Saying this, she also felt a bit embarrassed.

In other words, everyone at this table is Lin Mo's employee.

If it were replaced with Jiang Wen Laoge, Ge Daye and the others, who knows they might start causing a ruckus.
