Chapter 514: This Year's [Best Actor]

Luo Mo did not intend for Xu Chujing to participate in "Dying to Survive".

However, they could sing the theme song, "Only Ordinary", together.

The quality of this song is not low, its popularity is not low, and its fit with the film is also extremely high.

Besides this song, this film actually has several other Chinese songs.

Among them, one is a cover performed by the lead cast—"Life Like Summer Flowers"!

This song was released as the promotional theme song for the film.

Blue Star does not have the song "Life Like Summer Flowers", and Luo Mo does not intend to let Wang Rong ruin it.

Luo Mo has heard Wang Rong sing.

It is not that the two of them went to a KTV or a club with hostesses.

It is simply that there are compilations on the internet of celebrities singing off-key. And in every major popular compilation, Wang Rong is basically on the list.

He will have Li Junyi sing this "Life Like Summer Flowers".

At that time, it will be released as a promotional song for "Dying to Survive".

With the quality of this song, it should be able to bring a huge wave of popularity before the film is released.

Yes, "Dying to Survive" can be considered a blockbuster-level film from every aspect.

However, Luo Mo has a bad habit.

He does not like to use a pair of kings to carry a bunch of small cards in a hand.

He just likes to blast from beginning to end.

"Art is explosion."

"Explosion is art."

……..

……..

Time passed quickly, and after returning to Shanghai, Luo Mo basically did not enjoy much leisure time.

Besides being busy with the initial preparations for "Dying to Survive", he also had to oversee the second drama of the 【Mist Theater】.

It is just that the dirty and tiring work is all done by the working-hard Guan Fei.

Yet Guan Fei is doing it with great enthusiasm.

The reason is very simple: he has read the script for the second drama of the 【Mist Theater】.

After reading it, he was immediately filled with drive.

This drama is called "Forensic Qin Ming".

Luo Mo chose the version where Qin Ming is played by Zhang Ruoyun.

Guan Fei feels that the entry point of this drama is very good, and the perspective is also very good.

In most suspense dramas, the male lead is mostly a police officer, or works in a job similar to a detective.

A forensic doctor is a profession that is often overlooked.

In fact, very few people work in this industry; it is a scarce profession.

This phenomenon exists not only in Huaxia, but is a common phenomenon in most countries around the world.

"Forensic Qin Ming" will also be the first forensic-themed web drama in Blue Star Huaxia.

Honestly, the huge success of "Reset" will bring immense pressure to the second drama following it in the 【Mist Theater】.

Coupled with the fact that Luo Mo will not be participating too much this time, the pressure is effectively all on Guan Fei.

He was quite worried at first, feeling that he would lose a large number of brothers, just like your sparse hair.

Hair loss work—earning money—hair transplant—losing hair again…….. Damn it!

But after reading the script, he only had one thought in his mind.

"Pineapple's 【Suspense Theater】—is done for."

Tonight, "Reset" will be updated again.

These past few days, Penguin Video Vice President Cheng Wen has been all smiles every day at work.

There is no way around it, who told the total number of Penguin Video members to be surging.

Luo Mo actually feels that now is indeed the best time to film good dramas to reward the audience.

The reason is simple—membership fees are cheap right now.

"The four major video platforms are fighting with real swords and guns."

"To be the Boss, they are all sparing no expense."

"Opening a membership now, you can still get discounts through many channels, and there will be all kinds of gifted memberships."

"But once the user base is mostly captured and the number of members on major platforms no longer surges, then…….. they will raise membership fees every once in a while!"

"Some with ugly eating habits will even automatically renew your subscription in advance before your membership period expires."

Regarding the casting and other work for "Forensic Qin Ming", Luo Mo will oversee it, but he will also give Guan Fei a greater degree of delegation.

He has too many good scripts on hand; a person's time is limited, and energy is also limited; he won't be able to finish filming them in this lifetime.

Luo Mo needs capable lieutenants.

In the afternoon, Luo Mo's phone rang; it was a call from an employee at the studio.

This employee informed Luo Mo that the studio had received an invitation for the 【White Rose Award】.

The 【White Rose Award】 is one of the highest-level awards for film and television dramas in Blue Star Huaxia.

That is to say, those who win the 【White Rose Award】 for Best Actor and Best Actress are what everyone commonly refers to as the 【Best Actor】 and 【Best Actress】.

Because the names are relatively similar and both are held in Shanghai, Luo Mo has always viewed it as the Blue Star version of the 【Magnolia Award】.

The organizers of this award are almost identical to the Magnolia Award on Earth, hosted by CCTV, the Review Department, and the Shanghai government.

Among the three major awards for television dramas on Blue Star, the prestige of the 【White Rose Award】 is higher than the other two.

The public's confidence in the annual selection results is also relatively high.

Xu Chujing's 【Best Actress】 title was won at the 【White Rose】.

It is worth mentioning that this award actually established a category unrelated to television dramas—【Best TV Variety Show】.

Receiving the invitation, Luo Mo was not surprised.

To be precise, it would be strange if the 【White Rose Award】 did not invite him.

Last year's television drama industry could be said to be a year ruled by Luo Mo.

He broke records, and then... he kept breaking his own records.

When talking about last year's massive hits, one can never bypass *Nirvana in Fire*.

This drama may seem to have finished airing for some time, but in reality, one can only say that its first run ended some time ago.

Major television stations have never stopped airing *Nirvana in Fire*.

Octopus TV aired it for two rounds, and other television stations also subsequently purchased the broadcast rights for *Nirvana in Fire*.

On Penguin Video, the popularity of *Nirvana in Fire* remains very high, still ranking in the top ten of the monthly view count charts!

Looking at online popularity, the level of discussion has also remained consistently high.

There are simply too many people watching this drama for a second or third time.

Many people had new discoveries and new feelings when watching it for the second or third time.

So much so that many people open Weibo and can always see *Nirvana in Fire* suddenly surging onto the Hot Search list again; clicking in to take a look brings everyone a wave of nostalgia, and they cannot help but watch it again.

On Earth, besides *Nirvana in Fire* having this effect, there are also dramas such as *Zhen Huan Zhuan* and *Wulin Waizhuan*.

Luo Mo knows very well, to what extent is the charm of some dramas?

It is so great that netizens sincerely hope that the leads of these dramas do not get into trouble.

They do not want this drama to disappear, even if they might have already watched it three or four times, or even more.

Luo Mo knows clearly in his heart that this year's 【White Rose Award】 cannot bypass *Nirvana in Fire* no matter what.

"Let's just treat it as a cast reunion," Luo Mo smiled slightly.

He also had not seen Luo Chun and the others for a while.

It just so happens that this kind of grand ceremony will invite a large number of powerful Actors in the industry.

For Luo Mo, doesn't this equal a large-scale labor market!

"Go recruit! Go cast!" he said in his heart.

This can speed up the early-stage progress of *Dying to Survive*!

"Thank you to the organizers of the White Rose Award for hosting this interview session for me," Luo Mo said in his heart.

……..

……..

After Luo Mo was busy for a day and returned to Xicheng, Xu Chujing informed him that she had received an invitation to the 【White Rose Award】.

"Who hasn't?" Luo Mo feigned arrogance.

Xu Chujing looked at him and laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, Director Luo, Actor Luo, how could you possibly not have received an invitation to the 【White Rose Award】."

Luo Mo looked at her and said: "Do you have the confidence to win 【Best Actress】 again?"

Xu Chujing shook her head and said: "I only filmed your *Nirvana in Fire* last year; honestly, Princess Nihuang's screen time isn't much, it doesn't meet the criteria."

Hearing this, Luo Mo nodded; this was the truth.

Usually, in many dramas, the screen time of the male lead and female lead is simply unbalanced; some dramas are clearly male-centric, and some are clearly female-centric.

The drama for which Xu Chujing won 【Best Actress】 was a standard female-led drama.

"It doesn't matter to me whether I win an award or not, but you, on the other hand, and our *Nirvana in Fire* crew," Xu Chujing smiled slightly, not caring at all, after all, she had already won 【Best Actress】 before.

Luo Mo nodded again; in the field of television dramas, he temporarily cannot out-flex Jing.

"How much do you think... we can gain this year?" Xu Chujing asked.

"Of course I hope the more the better," Luo Mo pondered for a moment and said: "Best if it's the same as when I attended the 【Golden Melody Awards】."

"In your dreams!" Xu Chujing laughed.

You have to know, at the 【Golden Melody Awards】, Luo Mo achieved five wins in one night, and "Nocturne" played I don't know how many times.

For music awards, he alone swept more than half of them.

This wasn't going to receive awards; this was going to restock inventory!

Before he went to attend the 【Golden Melody Awards】, a trend of making bets swept the entire internet, with many people saying: "Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people, if Luo Mo wins the XX award, I will do such and such."

As a result, felt stupid, didn't you?

Xu Chujing looked at the man in front of her and could not help but fall into memories.

The final big award was presented to Luo Mo by her own hands, and many viewers watching the Live Broadcast at the time were obsessed.

On stage, she even smiled and asked Luo Mo: "Do you have anything you want to say, or you usually come up with a 【Motto】 or something for your acceptance speech, are you prepared today?"

And then, it was a statement that shocked everyone!

That line appeared which is still widely circulated on the internet to this day: 【I do not hate the ancients for not seeing me, I hate that the ancients cannot see my madness】.

Ha, it really was 【November's Arrogance】.

Lost in memories, Xu Chujing thought in her heart: "I wonder how much he will gain this time, relying on *Nirvana in Fire*?"

"And this time, will he prepare another terrifying acceptance speech?"

Night fell, and *Reset* updated on time on Penguin Video.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Tian Ou, who returned to the recording of *Director Show*, was originally filled with ambition and endless drive, but after recording for only one afternoon, he inexplicably felt... why had everything changed!
