Chapter 527: Luo Mo, Requesting Battle!

The barrage of comments surged, and countless viewers were moved.

"Teary-eyed."

"A bit tear-jerking."

"This is what a father is."

Lao Jiao is, in fact, a microcosm of people at the bottom of society.

Many problems that could be solved with money, they often have to pay with time, health, dignity... to resolve.

Even to the point of gambling with their own lives.

This made Xiao Cai feel that the previous blank space in the Drama where Lao Jiao talked to his daughter on the phone was all the more brilliant.

As a girl, it wasn't hard for her to guess what Lao Jiao meant when he mentioned on the phone, "We can afford sanitary pads too."

It represented that a teenage girl had perhaps experienced something extremely embarrassing at school.

This kind of shame, this kind of awkwardness, would accompany one for a lifetime.

Therefore, Jiao Jiao, who had excellent grades, said she didn't want to study anymore and wanted to go work.

Helping her father earn money was one aspect; the other, perhaps, was because of the humiliation.

And when a father learns of all this, what would his thoughts be?

When he returns to the garage where he lives every day, lying on the bed looking at the wall full of award certificates, what kind of taste would be in his heart?

How much he must blame himself.

None of this was filmed, nor was it brought out for sensationalism, but Xiao Cai could just feel it.

Coupled with the earlier foreshadowing, it made Lao Jiao's line, "Does this count as an act of Righteousness?", both logical and moving.

"Group Portrait and human nature are truly the Killer weapons!" Xiao Cai felt it was simply invincible!

The bus arrived at the stop at this moment, and Lu Di, who was secretly carrying a Cat, got on.

"It's here!" This was a piece of Drama that Xiao Cai had been looking forward to for a long time.

As soon as Lu Di got on the bus, Xiao Heyun suddenly grabbed him.

The pacing of the entire show was not dragging at all; there wasn't a single wasted word.

He directly whispered his "name" into Lu Di's ear.

"Lu, Cat Apostle, Asthma Conqueror, the one chosen by light, Di."

Lu Di, wearing a hat and a Mask, turned his head and looked at this man with a bewildered expression.

For a normal person, they might feel a bit of fear inside: "Holy crap, how does he know!?"

But for a character like Lu Di, who knows, he might be thinking: "I've been summoned!?"

"What do you want?" he asked directly.

"I am a police officer," Xiao Heyun whispered in his ear, then pulled him to sit in the back row.

Li Shiqing watched from the side, her eyes full of hope and expectation.

After Ding Xiaoyu grew up into adulthood, she became increasingly beautiful and delicate; the childishness was gone, but she was full of youthful spirit, pure and lovely. When she opened her eyes wide, she could truly captivate people.

Xiao Cai looked at this scene, and two thoughts came to her mind.

"Little sister Yu is so good-looking."

"These two men exchanging secret codes are so funny."

I am truly dying of laughter; in such tense and exciting background music and atmosphere, how could they shout such a shameful "name"?

But this silly piece of Drama was something countless viewers had been looking forward to for a long time. Ever since they learned Lu Di couldn't enter the Loop, they had been extremely expectant.

After the two sat down in the back of the bus, Xiao Heyun took out his phone and showed the typed words on the screen to Lu Di.

After Lu Di took a look, he looked at Xiao Heyun with a questioning gaze and said, "Who are you?"

"What do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Heyun looked at Li Shiqing in surprise.

Oh, this kid actually doesn't believe me!

What happened to the summoning!?

He clearly looked like he would be easy to fool.

Shouldn't he have an excited look on his face, shouting, "I have been waiting for this day for a long time"?

Xiao Heyun coughed lightly and said as seriously as possible, "I am a police officer, and I need your help."

"Do you have a police badge?" Lu Di asked again.

Xiao Heyun: I'm stunned!

This development is not right.

Xiao Heyun took a deep breath.

I can't handle you, kid?

He looked at Lu Di and said, "Is there a Cat in your bag?"

"You have asthma and can't keep a Cat, you can't keep a Cat, but you still keep five Cats."

"You rented a house behind your parents' backs at the Anime City, the password is six sixes."

"We have already mastered all your information; I am indeed a police officer."

Xiao Cai imagined it for a moment; if she were sitting on the bus and heard someone blurt out all her secrets like this, she would definitely be scared.

In this society, many people are clear that nowadays, everyone has almost no privacy, and everything is very transparent.

But knowing is one thing, encountering it is another.

It's just that the barrage was still very joyful.

"Whoa, is Best Actor Luo starting already?"

"He's acting now, he's acting again!"

"A Best Actor is a Best Actor; I believe him anyway."

"He is a Best Actor! You have to believe his performance, otherwise it's embarrassing!"

As it turned out, the next moment...

Lu Di, wearing a hat and a Mask, said with a firm gaze: "You are definitely not a police officer."

Xiao Cai burst into laughter: "Hahaha, the Best Actor has encountered an acting challenge."

"Your performance is not convincing, hahahahaha!"

If Luo Mo hadn't won the awesome 【Best Actor】 honor last week, the comedic effect of this Drama segment would likely have been halved.

The more memes the silly netizens could play with, the more interesting everything became.

Some people were even posting in the bullet comments: "Xiao Heyun is Xiao Heyun, Luo Mo is Luo Mo!"

"Xiao Heyun's acting, please do not substitute Best Actor Luo."

It looked like protection, but it always felt a bit snide.

Xiao Cai couldn't help but retort: "You don't get it, do you? You might as well have just said to Lu Di: Let's go save the world together!"

Xiao Heyun was anxious and said: "Cat Apostle, Asthma Conqueror, the one chosen by light... this name is correct, why don't you believe me!"

You kid, you don't keep your word!

Lu Di took a deep breath, his eyes thoughtful; he clearly still didn't believe he was a police officer.

He glanced at Xiao Heyun and said: "But I don't care anymore, because you called out my name and know all my deeply hidden secrets; I am willing to cooperate with you."

"Tell me, what should we do."

——It turns out it would have been better not to say he was a police officer!

——This kid is alright; if you call his name when something happens, he really believes it!

Looking at the current situation, it feels like everything is foolproof.

"But this is only the tenth episode, and the show has 15 episodes." Xiao Cai thought: "It seems the other villain on the bus is about to surface."

Sure enough, after the Pot Aunt was restrained and the pressure cooker was snatched away, she screamed the driver's name like a madwoman.

"Wang Xingde, what are you doing!"

"What have you done! What are you doing!"

"You coward!"

The Pot Aunt's outburst scene was acted so well, making people feel the distortion of her soul and the collapse of her emotions.

The camera gave the driver a close-up; his face twitched, his gaze was dull, and he seemed to be trapped in an endless struggle.

"It's the driver!?"

"Uncle Driver is an accomplice!?"

Because Luo Mo did not choose an Actor with a certain level of fame when selecting the Actor for the driver, he was able to achieve a better concealment effect.

Indeed, some viewers guessed it, but some viewers felt surprised.

Just at this moment, Xiao Cai suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"'Reset', 'Reset', isn't it just one person driving (kai che) and one person holding a pot (duan guo)!"

"The answer was already given in the title of the Drama!"

………

………

A new popular meme appeared just like that.

This caused 'Reset' to frequently hit the Hot Search again.

It's just a pity that to keep watching, one has to wait until next week.

Fortunately, tomorrow night, there is still 'Director Show' to watch.

Honestly, this program is quite novel; many people learned for the first time through this variety show what work a director should do on set, and they can also feel how important a director is.

Watching people direct a scene is actually quite interesting.

Especially when seeing an Actor clearly improve after listening to the director.

Through 'Ten Years of Work Offstage' in the previous episode, everyone gained a certain understanding of Director Luo.

In the past, what everyone knew was Heavenly King Luo, Actor Luo.

How he directs scenes on set was almost completely unknown to everyone. Only some fans would occasionally watch behind-the-scenes footage.

Luo Mo usually looks quite easy to get along with, but when he is a director, he is incredibly strict.

His attitude of striving for perfection and having extremely high standards for others gave many anti-fans, or rather Professional Haters, an opportunity.

"Laughing to death, with such high Requirements, why doesn't he just do it himself."

"I can't even understand the feeling he's talking about; isn't he an Actor? He should perform it and let them learn."

"Du Bin has won 【Best Supporting Actor】, yet he was criticized by him as if he were nothing."

"Nothing else, just feel he's a bit pretentious."

【Mo Sheng Ren】, as a bizarre and silly organization, generally can't be bothered to argue with people.

Many 【Professional Haters】 are paid to do a job; the more you argue with them, the more... the more... the more they earn!

They are all a bunch of unreasonable goods; when Luo Mo acted with a group of veteran Actors in 'Nirvana in Fire', he wasn't overshadowed either.

What's more, he is the director; this is his job content.

Fortunately, 【Mo Sheng Ren】 often doesn't need to argue with people, because Luo Mo himself will slap these people in the face.

Isn't the youngest 【Best Actor】 in history the best proof?

This makes the 【Mo Sheng Ren】 feel proud and elated.

The more this group of 【Professional Hater】s acts like this, the more ridiculous they appear, instead creating a contrasting effect.

But the 【Mo Sheng Ren】 do not know that Luo Mo's face-slapping and winning 【Best Actor】 is merely the beginning.

Night fell, and a new episode of 【Director Show】 was broadcast.

From the start, Luo Mo's camp encountered a problem; the 【Actor】 responsible for playing the male lead could not get into character no matter what, and in the end, even chose to give up and quit.

"What is going on with this Fu Hong! Doesn't his team always market him as the acting talent among the younger generation?"

"Speechless, didn't he perform quite well during the auditions? Why is his state so poor?"

"Quitting? Then what do we do next?"

"Speechless, could this be for the sake of the show's effect?"

Luo Mo was seen pulling Fu Hong aside to have a heart-to-heart talk.

Through this talk, the audience began to gradually understand this 【Actor】.

"So it turns out he lacked fatherly love from childhood and suffered domestic violence from his father several times."

"Ah! If it were me, I would have a shadow over my life."

"No wonder he couldn't act out the scenes of affection with his 【Father】 well."

"He must harbor resentment toward his dad in his heart, being beaten until his bones broke and he was hospitalized!"

"Heartbreaking; some people spend their childhood healing their whole life, while others spend their whole life healing their childhood."

During the heart-to-heart, Fu Hong kept repeating three words to Luo Mo: "Why?"

And Luo Mo's answer left many in the audience feeling very surprised.

"It is a pity that 【Parents】 is a profession that requires no assessment, has almost no threshold, and allows one to start work without a license."

A simple sentence sparked reflection in many people.

This is a social problem; there are too many people in this world who only know how to give birth, not how to raise.

However, how should this short film be shot now?

Luo Mo was seen bringing in Chen Cai and others to audition, but the results were all unsatisfactory; none could act well.

Fu Hong was indeed the one with the best acting skills among this group of young people.

Luo Mo went on to directly expose an ugly phenomenon in the industry, saying: "If we cannot find a suitable person to play the 【Son】, then the 【Father】 played by Xu Ruihong will have to act with restraint and cannot show off his acting skills too much, otherwise the whole short film will have a very serious sense of detachment. You are clearly acting well, but because others cannot keep up with the performance, it will give people the illusion that you are overacting."

This made many audience members leave comments in the bullet screen, quoting the acceptance speech Luo Mo gave when he won 【Best Actor】.

"Unworthy of the honor, if not me, then who!"

The male lead is supposed to be the pillar of a production, but these days, it is often the case that the supporting actors have better acting skills than the male lead and have to make sacrifices for the male lead, needing to keep up with the male lead's performance.

The supporting actors are like gods fighting, while the male and female leads are just competing to see who is worse.

It is even so bad that as long as you reach the passing line, a group of people will praise you, even calling it god-tier acting.

Many directors and producers are sometimes very helpless too.

But capital is just willing to promote them; what can you do?

It is even the case that these projects can be filmed only because they are involved; otherwise, it would be impossible to raise money at all!

This has fallen into a vicious circle.

All of this will likely trigger heated discussions among netizens across the internet after the show airs.

Later in the program, Xu Ruihong was seen taking the initiative to find Luo Mo.

This is a stage where 【Elimination】 happens, and this 【Actor】 who has been acting for over ten years chose to sacrifice himself to perfect the entire short film.

The bullet screen exploded instantly, and many netizens felt very uncomfortable.

"Ah! Why is it like this!"

"I want to watch a more perfect short film, not this version."

"If it is really like this, I hope Luo Mo can reshoot it outside the show."

"My heart aches for Teacher Xu."

"There is no way around it, the acting profession is facing a gap in talent; how many young people have acting skills?"

"Actually, it would have been fine, but Fu Hong's side is also understandable; it's a pity."

These situations made this episode of 【Director Show】 full of twists and turns, stirring the emotions of the audience.

At this moment, the camera gave Luo Mo a close-up of his face.

He was seen pondering for a moment, then looked deeply at Xu Ruihong.

Immediately after, he suddenly turned around and said one sentence to the camera.

In this instant, countless viewers felt this man was incredibly cool; what he said was:

"Can I act in it myself?"

What a coincidence, I happen to be an 【Actor】 too.
