Chapter 298: Audition
"The three artists of the company aren't here right now; when they return, you can have Chin introduce you to them."
"As for how to be an agent, I think Miss Fang's experience in the entertainment circle shouldn't need my teaching, right?"
Fang Ting nodded and said, "No need. Although I've never been an agent, I still understand how an agent should act."
Fang Ting also came from humble roots; when she first entered the entertainment world, she relied on getting gigs herself.
Later, after she became popular by shooting Category III films, she signed with a company and got an agent.
After Jiang Tiansheng took her under his wing, she left the company.
She basically knows exactly what responsibilities an agent has.
"That's good. If any trouble arises that's hard to resolve, have someone inform me and I'll take care of it."
Now let's talk about your acting.
I wonder, after several years without acting, has Miss Fang's acting regressed?
"Huh?"
Chen Mo continued, "My film company may be new, but the movies we produce are all high-quality.
Even the Category III films we shoot are meant for theatrical release.
If your acting doesn't meet the standard, how could I confidently let the director assign you the role?"
"So, I need to assess your acting now; no problem, right?"
"No problem," Fang Ting replied confidently, nodding.
Isn't it just acting? Though she hasn't filmed movies these years, she hasn't lacked acting in front of Jiang Tiansheng!
Relying on Jiang Tiansheng's physique, who takes sea‑dog kidney pills as a vigor tonic, if Fang Ting can't act, how could she provide Jiang Tiansheng with emotional value?
If she doesn't give Jiang Tiansheng enough emotional value, how can she stay by his side for years?
Being stuck in an uncomfortable limbo yet having to pretend it's fine— that demands a high level of acting, right!
Therefore, regarding Chen Mo's proposal to test her acting, Fang Ting is full of confidence.
Seeing Fang Ting agree, Chen Mo thought briefly and began to pose a scenario: "Miss Fang, play a woman who is being forced.
You need to portray the complex emotions of struggle, resistance, humiliation, and unwillingness.
Of course, this is an office with average soundproofing, so keep your voice low, but the emotions must be expressed properly. Any issues?"
Fang Ting frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded, "No problem."
Chen Mo curled the corner of his mouth, walked up to Fang Ting and said, "Good then, I'll personally help you set the scene."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Chen Mo pushed Fang Ting onto the desk.
The acting test has begun!
Fang Ting was shocked inside: "You're testing my acting?"
Facing Chen Mo's forceful pressure, she had no power to resist at all.
In the first two minutes, Fang Ting's performance fully met Chen Mo's requirements.
Struggle, resistance, humiliation, unwillingness, even a hint of restraint and fear.
The expression of various emotions was perfectly done.
But this perfect emotional expression lasted only a few minutes.
After that, it turned into a string of assorted interjections.
In the neighboring office, Qin Huilian, hearing the noises from the adjacent office, lost all desire to continue writing the script.
She spat in anger, then helplessly covered her ears.
An hour later, Chen Mo smoothed his clothes and said softly,
"Miss Fang, your acting at the start was barely passable, but after that it completely changed.
From now on, make sure to practice diligently!"
At this moment, Fang Ting was still lying on Liu Piaopiao's desk, her eyes vacant as she stared at the ceiling, unable to hear Chen Mo's remarks.
When Chen Mo saw her like that, he knew he had gotten a little too into the role just now, dragging her into it.
Fang Ting hasn't even finished the scene yet!
Chen Mo opened the office window to air the room, then turned and went to Qin Huilian's office.
Seeing Chen Mo come in, Qin Huilian let out a cold snort and turned her head away.
Chen Mo chuckled, walked behind Qin Huilian, placed both hands on her shoulders, and said with a smile, "What's this? Did we just make a fuss that disturbed you?"
Qin Huilian shifted her body a bit, expressing that she was currently angry.
Chen Mo used both hands forcefully to pull Qin Huilian over, seeing her slightly flushed cheeks and a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
"Why are you sweating so much? Is it too hot? Let me take off your clothes and cool you down."
Then, another grand performance unfolded.
But this time Chen Mo was much gentler.
When driving your own car, you need to press the gas pedal lightly.
Another hour passed.
Chen Mo tidied his clothes again.
Qin Huilian's condition was much better than Fang Ting's an hour ago; at least she was now sitting on a chair, fixing her own clothes.
"What about the one next door, how should we categorize them in the future?" Qin Huilian was a bit unsure about Fang Ting's positioning.
Some might say she's Chen Mo's woman, but Chen Mo didn't mention that when he introduced her.
Or say it's not, since Chen Mo just took care of her earlier.
Chen Mo, while opening the window to air the room, said, "What do you mean 'how to categorize'? Just treat her as a regular employee, pay her normally, assign work as needed."
Qin Huilian now understood: freeloading.
Scumbag!
Hehe, I'm full from home, but you still can't deny me some snacks outside, right?
Qin Huilian: "......"
Chen Mo glanced again at the office next door.
Fang Ting had stepped down from her desk, was sitting on the chair sleeping, but her clothes were already tidied.
Chen Mo didn't wake her, returned to Qin Huilian's office, and made some arrangements.
"Later, call a cleaning staff over and have both offices cleaned. I'm heading back to the bar first."
Qin Huilian gave Chen Mo a white look: "Got it!"
That night, Chen Mo was flirting with Liu Lili in the office when Shen Guodong came and knocked on the door.
After receiving Chen Mo's permission, Shen Guodong pushed the door open and entered.
"Mo Ge, Chen Yao brought that Jiang Tianyang along."
"Hm? Coming to see me?" Chen Mo was a bit surprised; what did Jiang Tianyang mean?
Shen Guodong said, "No, they seem to be here for fun; the two brought a few underlings and are drinking on the first floor."
Chen Mo didn't believe the two were just here for fun.
Chen Yao's territory is in Central; for drinking, there's Lan Kwai Fong. Jiang Tianyang lives in a villa at Jiang Tiansheng Qianshui Bay, which is far from Wang Jiao.
Only idiots would run to Chen Mo's place to drink.
Chen Mo calculated in his mind that Jiang Tianyang probably wanted to network with him, but it's not easy to just show up at his door.
They're waiting for Chen Mo to take the initiative to find them!
"Guo Dong, first arrange a few junior ladies to keep them company; I'll go down in a moment."
Anyway, since Jiang Tianyang and Chen Yao have already arrived, they should at least show their faces.
Coincidentally, Chen Mo also wants to chat with Jiang Tianyang to understand his thoughts.
But first, let's give them a little cold shoulder! After all, Jiang Tianyang isn't the Dragon Head yet!
