Chapter 41: Post-New-Year Arrangements

In a flash.

It's already mid‑January.

There are still a dozen‑plus days until the New Year.

Charlotte's Trouble has been in theaters for half a month.

Box office total has reached 870 million!

Breaking a billion—that's solid as a rock!

Mainly because, during this period, no other film competes with Charlotte's Trouble.

Everyone's holding back, waiting for the Spring Festival slot.

And during this time.

Lin Mo hasn't been idle either.

Morning Light Film & Media.

It's the company he founded.

The manager has already been found.

Liu Qin.

A very capable woman.

She has the bearing of a strong female leader.

Lin Mo thinks that's great.

After all, professional matters should be handled by professionals.

He just needs to be in charge of filming.

Today.

Lin Mo went to the company.

Mainly to meet everyone and arrange the upcoming work.

Shen Teng has been basking in the spotlight lately.

He rose to prominence thanks to Charlotte's Trouble.

Although Ma Li is the female lead, the hype clearly doesn't match Shen Teng's.

"Lao Chen, long time no see!" Shen Teng and Ma Li, as soon as they stepped into the company conference room, ran into Chen Zhong.

After months of interaction, everyone got along like old friends, very warm.

"Brother Shen, you're scorching hot now; you must have to wear sunglasses on the street, right?" Chen Zhong said with a smile, giving Shen Teng a hug; his words carried both teasing and sincerity.

Shen Teng chuckled, waved his hand and said, "Not at all, you're flattering me. I'm a shy person." Yet his smile was so wide it seemed to burst the folds of his face, clearly showing his delight.

"Ma Li, long time no see!" Chen Zhong turned his head and greeted Ma Li warmly.

"Director Chen!" Ma Li replied, smiling like a flower.

The three of them went on like that, exchanging remarks, chatting animatedly as if old friends reuniting after many years.

Not long after, Lin Mo entered the conference room with Liu Qin and Xiao Tian, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.

Xiao Tian trailed closely behind Lin Mo, like a little tail, especially cute.

Before coming to the company, Lin Mo made a trip to the school.

He chatted with Teacher Wang for a while.

Then he went to find Tian Xiwei and brought her to the company meeting.

"Boss"

Seeing their own Boss arrive, the few of them hurried to stand.

Lin Mo smiled and waved his hand: "We're all so familiar, no need for formalities, just sit, sit!"

"Xiao Tian, find a place to sit yourself!" Immediately, Lin Mo looked over at Tian Xiwei and said.

"Mm~"

Xiao Tian nodded.

Seeing Ma Li waving, he happily went over, and the two chatted quite merrily.

After Lin Mo sat down, he formally introduced Liu Qin to everyone: "This is Liu Qin, who will be the manager of Morning Light Film & Media, responsible for everyone's work schedules and activity notices."

Shen Teng, Ma Li, and Chen Zhong, these seasoned veterans, with high emotional intelligence, all greeted Manager Liu,

As for Xiao Tian.

When she first arrived, she already got to know Manager Liu.

After a few small talk, Lin Mo changed the subject, looked at Shen Teng and asked with a smile, "Brother Shen, how have you been lately? After becoming famous, what do you feel? Tell us all about it~"

Hearing that.

Shen Teng chuckled modestly, saying, "I have to thank the Boss; without you, I wouldn't be where I am today!"

"But to speak of feelings, there really are some. When I wasn't famous, no one recognized me wherever I went, but since I've gained some fame, attending those shows, I can clearly feel others' attitudes toward me. Now wherever I go, people call me Teacher Shen Teng, which makes me embarrassed!" Shen Teng continued.

Seeing this, Lin Mo teased, "Brother Shen, your smile is about to overflow; there's not a hint of embarrassment at all!"

His words made everyone present burst into laughter.

Afterwards, Lin Mo chatted a few lines of recent news with Ma Li and Chen Zhong.

As for Xiao Tian,

On the way here,

Lin Mo had already talked with her.

"Alright, let's get back to business!"

Lin Mo lightly tapped the tabletop, pulling everyone's attention back, his tone a bit formal: "The New Year is near; everyone rest well first. After the New Year we'll go all out again. Liu Jie will arrange agents and assistants for you. Xiao Tian, there's no rush for you now; the school side remains your main battlefield. Chen Zhong, I have a script here that's perfect for you; you'll have it at the start of the year."

Chen Zhong's eyes flashed with a hint of delight, and he hurriedly thanked them; his excitement was almost happier than the New Year.

Then Lin Mo turned his gaze to Shen Teng and said with a smile, "Brother Teng, when the time comes I have a film; you will play the male lead!"

"Alright, Boss!"

Shen Teng heard that, grinned ear to ear, and promptly accepted.

"Also, Xiao Tian, you will play the female lead; prepare well, I believe in you!" Lin Mo also placed great expectations on Xiao Tian; hearing this, Xiao Tian smiled brighter than a flower and thanked repeatedly.

Before coming.

Senior brother had already told her.

At that time, when she heard she would play the female lead, she was beyond excited.

As for the next movie he will shoot, of course it will continue in Xihong City.

In the end, only Ma Li was left.

To be honest.

At that time, we signed Ma Li.

He was a bit hesitant.

Mainly, Ma Li's image was too limiting for her.

She only fits mother roles, comedic parts, or similar strong‑female characters.

Such scripts are extremely rare.

Lin Mo actually leaned more toward having her pursue the Zongyi Magazine Magazine Magazine Magazine Magazine route.

Well then.

Ma Li saw the other three had jobs, but she herself hadn't been assigned, and she felt a bit panicked.

Fortunately, the next second she heard the Boss call her name, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ma Li, I recommend you try the Zongyi Magazine Magazine Magazine Magazine route; you know your image limits your acting options, and later I'll have Liu Jie arrange for you to try Zongyi Magazine Magazine Magazine Magazine!"

"No problem, I'll follow the Boss!" Ma Li replied succinctly.

Actually.

She herself thought she wasn't very suited for acting.

But for Zongyi Magazine Magazine Magazine Magazine, she was quite interested.

Of course.

As long as it makes money, she can do anything.

Finally, Lin Mo stood up, clapped his hands, and with a smiling face said, "Alright, I wish everyone an early Happy New Year; may our company prosper, and may each of your careers rise to a higher level and become ever more popular!"

Although.

The company has just been founded.

But everyone showed a happy smile on their faces.

Because they all knew that with the Boss present, the company would surely get better and better.

Later.

Ma Li, Shen Teng, and Xiao Tian went out.

Only Chen Zhong and Liu Qin remained in the conference room.

He still had something to discuss with the two.

"Liu Jie, how are the Stolen Pen copyright talks going?"

Lin Mo looked at Liu Qin and asked.

"Boss, rest assured, Point Novel Net has already finalized it," Liu Qin replied crisply.

Then Lin Mo's gaze turned to Chen Zhong, his tone carrying some expectation: "Lao Chen, after you return study the Stolen Pen novel carefully; after the New Year, this project will be handed to you,"

"Alright, Boss!"

Upon hearing this.

Chen Zhong already understood.

The Boss is having him shoot a TV drama.

To be precise.

It's a web drama!

In this world, web dramas aren't as popular as they were in the previous life!

The point is.

The Stolen Pen IP hasn't been launched yet!

How could he miss it?

Therefore, a few days ago Liu Qin was already sent to purchase the novel's rights.
