Chapter 230: Going to Unleash a Big Move Again?

"Classic" and the second season of "Rabbit" passed review very quickly.

Ning Dan also received news on her end that CCTV was very interested in this variety show and wanted to invite her to have a good talk about the production issues of this program.

After learning this news, Run Jie was incredibly delighted and immediately called Luo Mo.

Luo Mo indicated that Ning Dan could have full authority over the initial preparation work; he trusted the standards of Ning Dan and CCTV.

But there was one point he was particularly insistent on: "This program must obtain the support of the National Theatre of China."

Luo Mo had only two goals in producing this variety show.

One was cultural promotion.

He had always viewed this as a responsibility, because his master's pursuit in his later years was to promote culture, not just limited to Opera culture.

Within the scope of his ability, Luo Mo was willing to shoulder this responsibility.

The second goal was these "National Team" Actors.

He wanted to learn something from them and build Connections, so that he would have more confidence when making large-scale film and television works in the future.

The "Sword Fairy" series was just the beginning, not his greatest ambition.

One must know that "Sword Fairy" was also just the beginning of Hu Ge's acting career.

What truly made his reputation explode was certainly not this work, which had great controversy between game fans and ordinary audiences back then.

"Lay the foundation first," Luo Mo thought to himself.

Regarding Luo Mo's Requirement, Ning Dan was naturally responsive to every request.

Run Jie indicated that she would communicate well and strive for it as much as she could.

As for the second season of "Rabbit", it was scheduled for next week, taking over a children's animation that was about to finish airing on the Children's Channel.

This meant that some promotional work had to keep up.

After watching the first season, the fans of "Rabbit" had been waiting bitterly for the second season to start.

"It's so short, it can't satisfy us at all!"

"Yeah, I've watched it I don't know how many times, and I finished it again in a flash."

"Hurry up, hurry up! It's so short and yet so slow!"

"Put in some effort, strive to get rid of your reputation for being short!"

In the afternoon, Luo Mo had the official Weibo of his studio release a promotional Poster.

It was a Rabbit holding a large broadsword.

This image was also a high-octane part of a certain episode in this season of "Rabbit".

Many netizens from Sichuan Province understood their hometown's history; as soon as they saw this highly representative broadsword, they left comments: "Ahhhhh! The Sichuan Rabbit has come to report!"

"It's the Sichuan Rabbit, does this season have content about the Sichuan Rabbit?"

"I don't know why, but I've already started to feel proud!"

"As long as the enemy does not withdraw from the country's borders for one day, the Sichuan Army swears not to return home!"

"I remember this sentence, it's carved on the wall!"

"Sichuan people leave Sichuan!!!"

Until the broadcast starts next week, Luo Mo Studio and Tongguang Studio would release one Poster every day.

Inside, there would not only be the Sichuan Rabbit, but also Rabbits from other regions.

Because the atmosphere on the internet is currently hostile, this was to avoid excessive arguing between regions.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Mo was preparing ingredients at home.

Because Xu Chujing had finished her Roadshow and was on her way home.

He would go to Yucheng across from the residential complex in a while to cook dinner for her at Xu Chujing's home.

Among them, saury was a must-cook dish.

"The Diva's feeder has come online," Luo Mo smiled, in a good mood.

After his soul merged, he had no plans to keep a Cat again.

Keeping another Cat could not replace Baibaibai.

But as a mature pet feeder, he always had the urge to feed something.

Feeding the Diva was quite pleasant.

It's just that feeding the Diva naturally couldn't be like feeding a pet, saying: "Ah—, open your mouth wide."

What a pity.

……..

……..

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Chujing returned to her home in Shanghai.

The continuous Roadshow, coupled with the fatigue of travel, made her feel slightly exhausted.

The box office for "Cat Demon" was currently 5 million short of 400 million.

Finishing with a box office of over 500 million was already a certainty.

Because starting this weekend, there would be new films released.

Only those blockbusters with steady box office and large amounts of revenue coming in every day would have their screen allocations maintained by major cinema chains.

Otherwise, priority would definitely be given to new films for screen allocation.

Breaking 500 million with her first film—if it were someone else, they would probably be so excited they couldn't sleep, feeling as if they were floating on air.

But Xu Chujing did not.

On the contrary, she was very confused right now.

500 million was by no means the upper limit of her ambition; she had extremely high self-requirements in her career, and if she was going to do something, she would strive to do it the best.

However, she currently had no clue about her future plans.

She felt very lost regarding what to film for her second movie, how to film it, and who to collaborate with.

After the attempt with *Cat Demon*, she gradually realized where her shortcomings were in entering the film industry, but for the moment, she did not know how to resolve them.

What she needed most right now were some veteran-level acting powerhouses willing to act in a movie with her.

It is just like the same scene; an ordinary actor might film it in a mediocre way, but someone with explosive acting skills can turn it into the highlight of a movie.

As mentioned before, the pacing of *Cat Demon* was not good, and it felt a bit tiring to watch halfway through.

That was because there were too few explosive points.

It is just like the scene where the circus troupe was wiped out; if the acting skills of those characters in the circus could be a bit higher, the eye acting before death could be more profound, and the emotional impact when delivering lines could be stronger, the impression it gave people would be completely different.

A good script and good actors are in a relationship of mutual achievement; this point can be reflected to the greatest extent in the film industry.

After Xu Chujing took a quick shower, she changed into some more casual home clothes.

At 5:15, Luo Mo rang the doorbell.

Listening to the sound of the doorbell, Xu Chujing's slightly troubled mood was swept away.

As mentioned before, she did not like wearing shoes at home, so she walked to the door with her bare jade feet and opened the door for Luo Mo.

"Ding ding!" Luo Mo lifted the ingredients he was carrying in his hand.

It looked exactly like when he used to buy snacks for Baibaibai; he would show them off in front of it a few times to entice its gluttony.

"Come in," Xu Chujing said while getting slippers for him.

Luo Mo changed into the slippers and said, "Do you want to go rest for a while? I'll call you when I'm done cooking."

He could see that there was a hint of fatigue on Xu Chujing's face.

This woman, who always had a powerful aura, had an added layer of fragility because of her exhaustion, which instead added a touch of a "little woman" feeling.

Men, in fact, like to see the way women look when they are worn out.

Xu Chujing knew that she would only be a hindrance in the kitchen, so she said, "Then I'll go to the sofa and put on a steam eye mask."

"That's fine." Luo Mo was already very familiar with her kitchen.

Under his operation, he quickly finished making dinner.

He washed his hands and walked to the living room, only to see Xu Chujing still wearing the eye mask, her breathing steady.

Celebrities all have very small faces, which makes them look better on camera.

The eye mask covered part of her face, making her red lips, which were not covered, even more conspicuous, looking rosy and soft.

After her eyes were covered, she instead had a mysterious sense of beauty.

The woman with a curvaceous figure was curled up on the sofa after falling asleep, her body slightly huddled.

The scene before him was clearly extremely alluring, yet the first thought that popped into Luo Mo's mind was: "It seems the schedule these past few days has really tired her out, sigh."

Why was he feeling a bit heartbroken?

Luo Mo walked to the side of the sofa, crouched down, gently patted her shoulder, and said softly, "Jing, Jing."

Xu Chujing's body trembled violently; she seemed to have been startled by the sudden appearance of a man in her home.

"There's a man!"

After being startled, she reacted from her hazy state that it was Luo Mo, which made her whole body slightly tense, feeling a bit ashamed.

As a dignified top diva, she rarely had such an uncomposed side.

She slightly pursed her rosy, full lips, then slowly took off the eye mask that was no longer warm, and rose from the sofa to sit up.

She looked forward and met the eyes of Luo Mo, who was crouching down with a smile on his face.

Xu Chujing saw a hint of teasing in his eyes.

But fortunately, Luo Mo said nothing; after looking at her for two seconds, he stood up and said, "Let's eat first, the food will get cold later."

"I, I'll go wash my hands." Xu Chujing walked barefoot, *ding ding ding*, into the bathroom, rinsed her hands with cold water, and washed her eye area.

During the meal, Luo Mo began to "call to account."

"Your *Cat Demon* crew is really something; since I couldn't go to the roadshow, you just made a cardboard cutout of me."

"I didn't arrive in person, but my memorial tablet did," Luo Mo muttered while skillfully and naturally picking up food for Xu Chujing.

Xu Chujing gave him an annoyed look and said, "What are you saying? Eat your food, eat your food, and plug your mouth."

Luo Mo tasted the beef he had stir-fried and felt it was even better than what Luo Ba cooked; it could be considered "the student surpassing the master."

"I wonder which woman will have the good fortune in the future to eat the food I cook often," Luo Mo thought to himself, feeling smug.

During the meal, the two chatted briefly about upcoming work matters.

When mentioning that he was going to film *Sword of the Immortal*, Xu Chujing said, "Are there any suitable roles for me? A cameo or some supporting roles with not many scenes would be fine."

This was equivalent to taking the initiative to help with Luo Mo's television debut.

With her, a 【Best Actress】, joining, the class and style would be different.

"I'll go back and think about it," Luo Mo said.

Halfway through the meal, Luo Mo received a call from Ning Dan.

Xu Chujing looked at the name of the caller, her eyes narrowing.

Luo Mo answered the phone and chatted for a few sentences, a look of joy appearing on his face.

Ning Dan had communicated well; CCTV had basically satisfied all the requirements and stated they would use all their power to invite actors from the National Theatre of China to be responsible for the play portion of the variety show.

In this way, Luo Mo felt at ease about the quality of the program.

As long as those few hard flaws were corrected, such as the controversy over some characters' styling and some loopholes regarding the Special Invited Guests, other parts could be kept under Retention.

Luo Mo looked at Xu Chujing, not knowing if he was looking for a topic to chat about or if he was deliberately explaining the content of the call.

He said nonchalantly, "I'm preparing to make a variety show with CCTV. The call was telling me that CCTV has agreed to step forward and invite actors from the National Theatre of China."

"The National Theatre of China!?" Xu Chujing was startled in her heart.

The veteran actors inside are exactly what she needs.

Luo Mo nodded and said with a smile, "Jing, if you don't have many scheduled activities at that time, you can come visit the set more often."

This is called visiting the set, but in reality, it is about acting as a bridge and sharing Connections with you.

Xu Chujing understood Luo Mo's intention.

She gave a soft hum, her mind wandering a bit, her chopsticks unconsciously poking at the saury.

A variety show that satisfies the current Demand of two women.

Impressive, right?

On the other side, the Pineapple contestant for "Heavenly Queen: False Realm," Chun Xiao, felt her Dao heart becoming unstable.

Because just a moment ago, every member of the Aurora Girls had posted a teaser for their new song on Weibo.

Upon seeing the song title and associating it with some of the styles Luo Mo excels at, Chun Xiao instantly felt unwell.

"Chinese Language."

Another work that opens up the scope just by its title.

If the songwriter were someone else, she might think nothing of it, or even feel that choosing such a grand title was clownish behavior, just grandstanding.

But if it is Luo Mo...

"Could this... be another big cultural move?"
