Chapter 430

I'm afraid that at the beginning, Michael taking sedative drugs would be very useful, but until now, the effect of taking the medicine has been greatly reduced.

"Look, this is the medicine my private doctor prescribed for me today. I'm about to have a concert, and I must maintain enough sleep time, otherwise, I definitely won't be able to hold on on stage."

Michael said, and by the way, showed Chen Mo his pills.

"You can't eat it."

Chen Mo looked at the pills in Michael's hand and shook his head.

If he remembered correctly, it was because Michael took these drugs that led to drug poisoning.

That's why he died of a sudden heart attack.

Chen Mo is already standing here now, and he must stop all these things from happening.

"Why?"

Michael didn't expect Chen Mo to stop him either, and looked at Chen Mo unexpectedly.

"Relying on drugs will only make your insomnia more serious; the only thing that can make you sleep peacefully is to untie the knot in your heart."

Chen Mo said.

He knew that as a superstar, Michael had always been under great pressure.

And it was precisely because of these pressures that he couldn't sleep.

"We all think we can become saints, we don't have to care about other people's words, but after truly experiencing the attention of so many people, we will understand that people simply cannot completely not care about what others are thinking."

Michael shook his head and smiled very bitterly.

Chen Mo looked at Michael and had a late-night conversation with him.

After talking for more than an hour, Michael looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.

He found that Chen Mo was much more profound than he imagined.

He had more insights into many problems than he, a 50-year-old person.

Those things he had been unable to figure out, actually because of a conversation with Chen Mo, he saw through them a little bit.

"Mo Mo, thank you, I seem to be much more relaxed."

Talking to the end, Michael actually showed a long-lost smile.

He really feels that he has become relaxed now.

"Small matter, you rest well first, only if you truly sleep well can you hold a good concert."

Chen Mo smiled at Michael.

Then the two chatted a few more words, and Chen Mo left Michael's home and returned to the hotel.

Chen Mo had been keeping an eye on his phone until two in the afternoon.

He remembered that in his past life, Michael passed away around 2:30 PM.

Around 4:00 PM, Chen Mo’s phone suddenly rang; it was a call from Michael.

"Mo, are you ready? We need to go to rehearsal this afternoon; the concert starts tomorrow."

Michael’s voice came through the receiver.

He sounded much more energetic than he had the day before.

He must have had a good night's sleep.

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, I'll head to the venue for rehearsal in a bit."

He nodded.

It seemed Michael was fine; Chen Mo had successfully prevented Michael’s death ahead of time.

In the United States, Chen Mo went on stage as a special guest for one of Michael’s concerts before leaving the venue to fly to the Republic of India to continue filming.

……

Ever since the fire, the filming of *Slumdog Millionaire* had been going very smoothly.

The cast members were also very immersed in their roles.

The further they got into the mid-to-late stages of filming, the more they felt that *Slumdog Millionaire* was an excellent movie.

As long as it could be finished, it would certainly make a significant impact.

Meanwhile, back home.

*The Deer and the Cauldron* had finished production, and they had coordinated with CCTV to air the premiere during prime time in the evening.

On the day of the premiere, many viewers were waiting in front of their television sets.

"Finally, another TV series starring Chen Mo is airing! I'm so excited!"

"Chen Mo is actually challenging the role of Wei Xiaobao this time; I really can't imagine what he’ll look like playing him."

"I heard that Mr. Jin Yong personally sought out Chen Mo to film this series."

"It's about to start; I'm looking forward to it so much."

"I wonder who the actresses playing Wei Xiaobao’s seven wives are."

Even before it aired, the audience was extremely expectant.

Especially since, before the broadcast, Chen Mo’s company had kept the seven actresses a secret to build a sense of mystery.

Aside from confirming that Chen Mo was playing Wei Xiaobao, no other roles had been officially announced.

For other TV series, this situation would likely result in a significant loss of traffic.

But *The Deer and the Cauldron* was not lacking in traffic.

The official failure to announce the seven actresses actually gave the audience the feeling of opening a blind box.

They were very excited!

Soon, *The Deer and the Cauldron* began, and when Chen Mo first appeared on screen, the audience was taken aback by his subversive acting skills.

They hadn't expected Chen Mo to be so convincing as a street-smart rascal.

It was completely different from his usual image as a chivalrous hero of the pugilistic world.

His acting was just too good.

Immediately after, Shuang'er, one of the seven wives, appeared, played by Liu Shishi.

This left many people very satisfied.

One had to remember that in *Chinese Paladin 3*, Liu Shishi’s role as Long Kui was someone who lived only for her brother—gentle and thoughtful.

The image of Shuang'er was very similar.

Therefore, having Liu Shishi play Shuang'er was a perfect fit.

Many viewers also began to guess who the other wives would be.

On various software platforms, they even launched polls to guess the casting of the actresses in *The Deer and the Cauldron*.

The discussion heat ranked in the top three on major forums.

That night, the ratings for *The Deer and the Cauldron* soared directly to first place among all dramas airing at the same time.

Chen Mo’s portrayal of Wei Xiaobao was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

The next day, a reporter interviewed Jin Yong.

"Mr. Jin Yong, may I ask what your opinion is of Chen Mo's version of Wei Xiaobao?"

The reporter asked.

"I believe the Wei Xiaobao played by Chen Mo is very consistent with the image of Wei Xiaobao in my original work. In fact, the audience might not know that Chen Mo requested the role of Wei Xiaobao himself, just to break through his own limitations."

Jin Yong spoke, his tone full of appreciation for Chen Mo.

"I can also say straight out here that Chen Mo is my exclusive leading man. Apart from him, I do not wish for any other male actor to play the male lead in my novels."

After saying this, Jin Yong spoke again.

Jin Yong’s words were shocking.

He actually said that Chen Mo would be his exclusive male actor from now on.

One must know that in recent years, Jin Yong had made a lot of money by selling the copyrights to his novels.

If Jin Yong really only allowed Chen Mo to be the male lead in his novels, it meant he would no longer sell copyrights to other companies.

No one expected Jin Yong’s fondness for Chen Mo to reach such a level.

"Jin Yong Announces His Own Exclusive Male Actor!?"

"Giving Up Millions in Copyright Fees, Just for Chen Mo?"
