Chapter 420: Cannot Use Money to Compensate

The official announcement made by the two studios was the result of Luo Mo and Xu Chujing discussing it together.

Since Luo Mo had publicly taken a stand at the Semi-finals of the King of Love Songs, he had to give everyone an explanation and an answer.

At this moment, it was already nearly five o'clock in the afternoon, and Luo Mo was busy in the kitchen, preparing to cook dinner for Xu Chujing.

The two of them were already together, but the little game Feeding the Diva could not stop operating.

Besides... who knows, maybe some hidden Drama could be unlocked in the future?

While preparing the saury, Luo Mo saw Xu Chujing frowning as she typed on her phone, her expression looking slightly displeased.

"What's wrong?" he asked with concern.

Xu Chujing said, "It's nothing, a friend of mine who is a Psychologist, and who lives in the same residential complex as us, wants to come over for dinner."

"Is that so? Then let her come," Luo Mo said.

"Forget it, she's not coming to eat. You should know in your heart what she wants to come here for." Xu Chujing put down her phone and walked to Luo Mo's side.

"What? Is your boyfriend not fit to be seen in public?" he said this on purpose.

"No way, you don't understand," Xu Chujing said. "She is... a bit strange."

In her view, the Psychologist wanting to see Luo Mo was one thing, but her other purpose was purely because she was an author of fan fiction about their pairing, and she wanted to come to her house to gather material on the spot.

——《Fieldwork》.

In fact, last night, the Psychologist had been tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.

Because she had associated this with Xu Chujing's old habit—she would intermittently feel that she was a Cat.

This made her unable to stop herself from starting a massive amount of imagination.

"This old habit of hers, how much spice is it going to add to their life ahead...?" she muttered to herself.

She remembered very clearly many of Xu Chujing's previous symptoms. Some actions, if done by a little kitten, would be called cute, but if it were Xu Chujing doing them to Luo Mo... that would be very erotic.

A woman, the more she thinks about these things late at night, the less she can sleep.

——《Ah, I'm no longer pure》.

……..

……..

At this time, in Xu Chujing's home.

After dinner was ready, the two of them dined as they usually did. The only difference was that instead of sitting face-to-face, they were now sitting in the same row.

During the meal, the two chatted about their upcoming work arrangements.

This concerned when they could stay together and when they would have to be apart.

When mentioning these, Xu Chujing asked about the Mist Theater, mainly concerned with: "You shouldn't have signed any gambling Contract with Penguin, right?"

"That, I haven't. They didn't bring that up either; it's just that there are indicators in the Contract, some Requirements regarding performance," Luo Mo said.

"Very high?" Xu Chujing pressed.

"Not high, as long as the response after it airs isn't worse than Nine Sins," Luo Mo said casually.

Xu Chujing looked at him and said, "Only you could say something like that. Among all the Suspense dramas this year, Nine Sins is already considered the top performer."

Luo Mo smiled and put food on her plate, changing the subject: "By the way, did Brother Guan Fei's new movie flop again?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Chujing said, "Yeah, the box office is getting less and less ideal."

Since Cat Demon, apart from coming to be a Producer for Immortal Sword, Guan Fei hadn't been idle either.

During this period, he had released two movies.

It was just that the final box office results were not satisfactory.

Cat Demon made a small profit after breaking even, the next movie barely broke even, and as for the one that was just released a few days ago, based on current results, I am Afraid it will be hard to even break even.

"Do you think... he is still willing to come back to direct dramas?" Luo Mo asked.

Many directors, once they dive headfirst into the film industry, wouldn't be pulled back even by ten Oxen; they are determined to conquer the big screen and won't return to direct TV dramas.

"He definitely will," Xu Chujing answered very firmly.

"Oh? Why?" Luo Mo looked at her with sincere eyes, while his palm was half-resting on her rounded thigh.

Xu Chujing swatted his hand away, glared at him slightly, and said, "Why do you think I asked if you signed a gambling Contract?"

"Huh? Brother Fei signed one with the company?" Luo Mo was surprised and put his hand back up.

"Yeah, you guys really are fair-weather friends, a plastic friendship; he didn't even tell you this." Xu Chujing swatted him away again.

Finally, she just said softly, "Eat your dinner properly first."

"Alright, alright, eat your vegetables, eat your vegetables."

Xu Chujing looked at Luo Mo and asked, "Do you want to find him to continue being a Producer, or do you want him to help you direct?"

"It would be best to let him direct," Luo Mo said.

Guan Fei's standard is on point, and he is a trustworthy person; he is a very good candidate.

The Mist Theater is preparing to release four dramas a year; he alone wouldn't be able to handle it.

Besides, he has too many good scripts in his hands; he can't possibly direct them all himself, he wouldn't finish them even in a lifetime.

"You can call and ask him yourself in a bit," Xu Chujing said.

"Sure," Luo Mo said.

After the meal, he walked to the balcony and gave Guan Fei a call.

On the other end of the line, the moment Guan Fei spoke, he said: "Congratulations! You're something else!"

He still felt that all of this was like a dream; you have to know, back when filming Cat Demon, Luo Mo was just a trainee, and Xu Chujing had even specifically made a bet with Guan Fei just to help Luo Mo win the title of 【Special Appearance】.

At that time, he had never imagined that these two would eventually end up together.

The top Diva in the circle was actually taken down by her own "student"!

Inside and outside the circle, how many people had designs on Xu Chujing?

But what was the result?

But if you ask whether Guan Fei benefited from this matter, he actually really did.

Not to mention anything else, the copyright renewal for *Cat Demon* will likely see its price go up a notch.

"Brother Fei, I won't say any superfluous words," Luo Mo said, getting straight to the point. "Buddy knows you've been having a hard time lately, so..."

"Come work for me!" Luo Mo stopped acting like a human.

Guan Fei: "???"

You really are in such high spirits from happy events that not a single word out of your mouth is human.

"You're doing this for your 【Mist Theater】, right?" Guan Fei immediately thought of this.

After Penguin Video announced this matter, it also caused a sensation in the director circle.

This is a major move that will cost who knows how many hundreds of millions a year!

Everyone, besides envy, was just envious.

Because this also means that Luo Mo's influence at Penguin will rise with the tide, and the entire 【Theater】 will likely be decided by him alone.

It can be said that he will control the lifeline of Penguin's web dramas next year!

Upon hearing this, Luo Mo did not deny it, and even continued to use words to entice him, adding more chips, saying:

"Yes, and I can let the future Best Actress in my house be the female lead for this drama."

"Who? Are you talking about Ding Xiaoyu or Xu Chujing?" Guan Fei wondered.

"Oh, right, I have two future Best Actresses in my house now," Luo Mo said shamelessly. "I haven't adapted to it yet, let me adapt for a few more days."

"Heh, you're really pleased with yourself," Guan Fei said.

"Eh, it's Yu, she's more suitable for this drama," Luo Mo said with a smile.

"If you play the male lead, I'll consider it," Guan Fei said.

Luo Mo was actually also struggling with this matter.

This drama doesn't have many episodes, and the filming locations are relatively simple, so it's actually not that time-consuming or laborious.

"Fine, it's a deal!" Luo Mo gritted his teeth and said, "Worker Fei, remember to come report to me in a few days!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone very arrogantly.

Leaving only Guan Fei on the other end of the line: "Eh! Eh! Eh!?"

Guan Fei was not angry; on the contrary, he was even a little grateful to Luo Mo.

He knew Luo Mo was giving him a hand.

He had campaigned on the big screen, only to end up with such a result.

Sneaking back to the film and television industry, many of his previous resources would suddenly be disconnected.

His foundation as Guan Fei was indeed still there, but he reckoned it would also waste some time.

What's more, there would be many people mocking him and waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

If he went back to filming dramas, and the cast and production team weren't strong enough, he would inevitably be mocked by the masses and have snide remarks made by his peers.

Having the rising star Luo Mo backing him up was naturally different.

About five minutes later, he received a WeChat message from Luo Mo.

"The script has been sent to your email, Worker Fei."

………

………

Far away in Guangcheng, Guan Fei was opening the script and reading it carefully.

And in Beijing, Luo Mo and Xu Chujing were leaning on the same sofa, each holding a mobile phone.

After opening Weibo, Luo Mo also saw the account named 【Are Luo Mo and Xu Chujing together today】.

After posting the four words "They are together," the account had already changed its Weibo bio to: Account sealed.

However, what made people laugh and cry was that a brand-new check-in account had begun to take the baton—【Are Luo Mo and Xu Chujing married today】.

"Netizens really worry their hearts out for us," Luo Mo couldn't help but think to himself.

At the same time, he also saw many of Xu Chujing's fans calling out: "Luo Mo, hurry up and craft a new album for your wife."

Like most Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Queens, after reaching a certain height, the frequency of releasing albums drops significantly.

It might have been one album a year before, but later it might be one every two or three years, or even longer.

She had only been releasing singles these past few years and hadn't released a full album in a long time.

There were many reasons for this, and it wasn't because she was too lazy to release one.

Of course, except for a certain fat pigeon who plays every day.

For fans, they might have already listened to the old songs on 【Loop】 until they knew them by heart, so they naturally looked forward to a few more new songs.

In fact, if it weren't for Luo Mo, Xu Chujing wouldn't have released so many singles in the past few years.

After all, every one of her recent singles had something to do with Luo Mo.

"I'll make an album for you," Luo Mo suddenly said.

"Okay," Xu Chujing was slightly stunned at first, then readily agreed.

Immediately after, she saw Luo Mo first wrap his arms around her, then lower his head close to her ear, and say in a low voice: "But I won't take your money, you understand what I mean, right?"

(PS: Second update, asking for monthly tickets, only a little bit away from sixth place on the overall monthly ticket chart!)
