Chapter 511: I Am Not a Medicine God

The next day, 【Tian "Unemployed at Home" Ou】 made three phone calls in one go.

He first called Wang Rong.

At first, Tian Ou thought Wang Rong would be the one among the three directors who disliked Luo Mo the most, because both had the ability to write, direct, and act, which would lead to comparisons.

But he didn't expect that, between the lines, Tian Ou could hear his appreciation for Luo Mo.

"They all say Wang Rong likes to play with traffic stars, and I didn't expect it to be true!"

Not believing it, Tian Ou then called Li Dongliang and Fang Jie.

These two calls, however, made Tian Ou feel comfortable.

Looking at their status and influence in the industry, Wang Rong was certainly not as good as Li Dongliang and Fang Jie.

The former was known as the first person under the Four Great Directors, well, although this title didn't sound very good.

The latter was even hailed as the number one female director in Huaxia.

——Tian Ou was satisfied.

At the same time, many thoughts began to sprout in his heart.

Regarding the media interview this afternoon, he also made a decision.

On the other side, he didn't know that after Li Dongliang and Fang Jie finished their calls with him, intriguing smiles appeared on their faces.

"Youth is good, they like to rush to the front."

"We old things, just watch from behind and hold the fort."

As for Luo Mo's outstanding performance in the show, how could that be told to Director Tian?

We signed a confidentiality agreement with the show production team.

You paused the recording, so the content at the current stage cannot be told to you; it must be kept confidential from you.

Otherwise, if any trouble arises, we would all have to be held responsible.

Confidentiality, this is an obligation!

As for our personal opinions, we can mention a word or two to him.

We indeed do not like Luo Mo's short film.

Look, we didn't give him many 【Director Votes】 either, did we?

If this isn't disliking, what is it?

As for how you interpret it, that is your business.

Director Tian is about to return to recording, this is to add some confidence to him.

Encouraging people is something we old seniors should do more of, isn't it?

………

………

The previous stage of recording for "Director Show" officially ended last night.

Luo Mo had no content that needed to be re-recorded, so he could actually leave Hangzhou today and return to Shanghai.

Although he was eager to go home, he still planned to stay in Hangzhou for one more day.

Because he had a dinner appointment with Wang Rong.

To be precise, after the recording ended yesterday, Wang Rong ran over to invite him to dinner immediately.

Luo Mo had already returned the script for "Million Diamonds" to Wang Rong.

People said that this script still needed polishing, and they planned to start the project next year.

Then, Luo Mo was happy to save the trouble and effort, and it was fine not to look at it. When the final version of the script came out, he would check it for him then.

As for the script for "I Am Not a Medicine God", Wang Rong did not return it to him.

He said he hadn't finished reading it yet and wanted to read it for one more night.

Luo Mo had no objections to this.

But he didn't know that Wang Rong had already taken the time to finish reading it.

When he saw the ending of the script, it was shocking; he felt his whole body go numb!

The reason he said he wanted to read it for one more night was, on one hand, that he wanted to read it again.

This script brought him too great a spiritual impact; he felt that reading it once was not enough, and reading it again might bring new understanding and gains.

Especially after seeing some details and performances in "Send You a Little Red Flower", he felt it was helpful.

Illness is a very common social phenomenon, and it is also a social phenomenon that can be deeply explored in many places.

He even felt that "Send You a Little Red Flower" was a brilliant move by Luo Mo.

If this short film becomes popular, "Medicine God", which is also about 【illness】, can achieve a certain degree of box office appeal.

It can attract some of the short film's audience to walk into the cinema!

As for the other reason why Wang Rong wanted to read the script for one more night... when the dinner happens today, he will know.

At six o'clock in the evening, everyone arrived on time at a private, high-end location in Hangzhou.

Ning Dan was also among the invitees.

After Luo Mo and Wang Rong finished recording, they had nothing else to do, but Ning Dan still had to be busy in Hangzhou for two days.

Fortunately, the team under her was already very mature and experienced; several capable people, if thrown outside, could support a variety show on their own.

Therefore, she still had time to have dinner and drink a little wine.

"Yo, came in one car?" Wang Rong said when he saw Ning Dan and Luo Mo arriving together.

"Yeah, hitched a ride," Luo Mo said with a smile.

Wang Rong secretly sized the two of them up; he had also heard some rumors about the two, saying they lived in the same residential complex, just upstairs and downstairs.

When Luo Mo first became popular, some people were jealous and spread rumors that Luo Mo was a "kept boy" supported by Ning Dan, and that she was heavily promoting him in "Creating Idols".

But later, Luo Mo was subjected to Anti-Explosion, and was boycotted by Pineapple, and coupled with his strong rise all the way, these voices disappeared.

In fact, being able to climb into Ning Dan's bed is something many people dream of, right?

She is not like an old lady like Fang Jie; those red lips, that charm, that figure, tsk tsk tsk.

What's more, the fact that Ning Dan is a Non-Marriage Advocate is not a secret in the circle at all.

After the three of them sat down in a small private room, they first had a normal meal and chatted.

"The taste is not bad," Luo Mo said.

"Right? This is a place I carefully selected," Wang Rong said.

Today, he was the one treating.

After the meal, it could be considered that both host and guest enjoyed themselves; after three rounds of drinks, Wang Rong started to talk about business.

"Luo Mo, I finished reading the script for *I Am Not a Medicine God* last night."

"It is written truly well; I cannot offer any suggestions for revision," Wang Rong said.

Ning Dan glanced at Luo Mo; she knew that Luo Mo wanted to find Wang Rong to act, but she still asked with feigned surprise: "Hmm? What script?"

Luo Mo looked at her, muttering to himself: "Run Jie's acting is quite good; although it doesn't reach the level of a professional Actor, it's definitely enough for playing roles."

What he found unexpected was that Wang Rong seemed to have misunderstood his intention.

"He thought that I showed him the script to ask him to check it?" Luo Mo thought.

—"This is interesting."

Wang Rong smiled and looked at Ning Dan, saying: "Luo Mo showed me the script for his first live-action movie."

"Hmm? Why didn't you show it to me first!" Ning Dan was still pretending to be ignorant, and even started to sound sour.

Wang Rong hurriedly said from the side: "Haha, that's because I originally wanted to exchange scripts with Luo Mo to give each other some pointers."

"There's such a thing?" Ning Dan said.

"Yes, that's right," Luo Mo replied calmly.

Wang Rong coughed lightly, wiped his hands with a wet wipe, and then solemnly placed his palms on his trouser legs, saying with an incomparably serious expression:

"Luo Mo, no, Director Luo!"

"Actor Wang Rong, requests an audition!"

Last night, Wang Rong not only read the script, he also made all the preparations before the audition; he practiced a few scenes in the hotel by himself, acting in front of the mirror.

Even, he actually regained his nervousness last night!

It felt like returning to the state of having to audition the next day when he wasn't that famous yet.

As he is now, even if he were to meet a big director like Qian Qingyun, logically speaking, he wouldn't be like this.

He didn't know why this was either.

Perhaps, it was because he wanted to play this role too much?

However, Wang Rong did not dislike this state; on the contrary, he felt he had found back the old feeling.

Luo Mo looked at the eager Wang Rong, not expecting that after misunderstanding, he would still take the initiative to request an audition.

"Brother Rong, you've had some drinks, are you sure about doing it now?"

"Sure." Wang Rong was very confident in his acting skills.

"Good." Luo Mo agreed immediately.

Ning Dan watched this scene from the side, only feeling a bit dazed.

This young man before her eyes was someone she had watched walk step by step to where he is now.

From being unknown at the beginning to now having a Best Actor-level Actor take the initiative to request an audition, urgently wanting to star in his first live-action movie... how many years had this taken?

But soon, Ning Dan reacted.

"Good fellow, coming to my show to help out in an emergency, and turning around to poach a Best Actor!"

"Could it be that he thought of this from the very beginning?"

While her thoughts were flying, the Best Actor Wang Rong simply adjusted his breathing.

Then, he began his performance.
