Chapter 560: Playing Four Roles at Once

~11 min read 2,052 words

As soon as the trailer for *Dying to Survive* was released, a large number of curious people came to watch it.

It is hard to imagine that the movie trailer of a Newcomer director could break ten million views on Weibo in just a few hours.

Many celebrities who had a good relationship with Luo Mo, or those who wanted to curry favor with him, began to spontaneously repost this trailer.

At this time, Shanghai, Xicheng.

Shen Yinuo, who had just finished showering, was walking around her home wrapped in a bath towel.

Jiang Ningxi looked at her like this, having long since gotten used to it.

When others wrap themselves in a bath towel, they fear it won't stay tight and will fall off, but Xiao Shen has no such worries; instead, she can create a look similar to the plump beauties of the Tang Dynasty on Earth.

She came to Jiang Ningxi's side and sat down, holding a bottle of body lotion, and said, "Jiang Jiang, help me rub my back."

"Wait a moment." Jiang Ningxi said while looking at her tablet.

"Hm? What are you watching, so intently?" Shen Yinuo leaned over to take a look, then let out a surprised cry.

"Ah! Luo Mo finally released the trailer?" Xiao Shen was a bit of a Surprise.

Upon learning that Luo Mo was going to film his first feature-length live-action movie, Shen Yinuo had volunteered to participate, only to be decisively rejected by Luo Mo.

"I can lower my acting fee!" Shen Yinuo stated.

"Zero pay won't work either; with your acting skills, you can only enter the cast by bringing your own funding," Luo Mo said irritably.

After finishing the *Sword of Fairy* series, Shen Yinuo's acting skills had indeed improved, but there was still a significant gap compared to acting in a movie, especially one with high requirements for acting skills.

This made Xiao Shen so angry her chest hurt, wondering if she was going through a second growth spurt. At the same time, she became increasingly curious about what kind of movie this would be that could make Luo Mo so "disregard personal feelings."

Shen Yinuo, wrapped in her bath towel, reached for the tablet and dragged the trailer's progress bar directly back to the beginning.

"Hey! You!" Jiang Ningxi was a bit speechless; she had almost finished watching it.

"Keep me company and watch it again; it's only a minute or so anyway," Shen Yinuo said.

"Fine, fine." Jiang Ningxi feigned helplessness.

In reality, she was already watching this trailer for the second time.

At the very beginning, one could see a thick fog, and something resembling a divine statue looming in the mist.

A voice in English spread out, and the subtitles displayed: "Jesus went through all the cities and villages..."

It gave one a sense of love being spread throughout the world.

As it turned out, the scene changed immediately, shifting from the solemn and respectful setting to a small Church.

Cheng Yong, played by Wang Rong, and Lv Shouyi, played by Luo Mo, were communicating with an elderly priest.

Jiang Ningxi and Shen Yinuo looked at Luo Mo, only feeling that he was really so thin; both of them had complex emotions in their hearts that were hard to describe.

Just then, Cheng Yong sat with his legs crossed and said to the priest, "Didn't God say, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda!"

As soon as the words fell, the screen began to cut, inserting scenes of Cheng Yong and Lv Shouyi initially promoting the Medicine.

The two kept recommending the Medicine to patients, only to be rejected.

One door after another was shut directly, locking them out.

After inserting these embarrassing scenes of being unable to sell the Medicine, it returned to the small Church.

Lv Shouyi, played by Luo Mo, was thin and tall, huddled in a Corner, and said to Cheng Yong with a smile: "That was said by the Buddha."

Cheng Yong continued to sit with his legs crossed, raised a hand, and said: "It's all about the same!"

After this exchange ended, the scene shifted, returning to the scene of selling Medicine.

Only this time, there were crowds of people lining up with cash to buy the Medicine.

Cheng Yong's voice spread like a narration, revealing a bit of smugness.

"Benevolent heart and skillful hands to save the masses, leaving behind an eternal name in the world!"

Amidst this smug voice, what the audience could see were piles and piles of cash, cash filling up entire bags!

When everything returned to the small Church again, Cheng Yong looked at the elderly priest and said: "Didn't God say, if you don't go to hell, who will?"

Lv Shouyi, huddled to the side, leaned over again and said: "That was also said by the Buddha."

"Can... can you shut your mouth!?" Cheng Yong said unhappily.

"I'll sell the Medicine, you just be responsible for translating; this is true peace within the Lord! Amen!" He said to the priest again.

Shen Yinuo understood now; it turns out these two were recruiting the priest to join them, hoping he could serve as a translator.

At this time, the Drama filmed abroad began to appear.

An Indian drug dealer asked Cheng Yong: "Do you want to be a savior?"

Cheng Yong sat in a chair, laughed out loud, spread his hands, and said: "I don't want to be any savior, I want to make money!"

Amidst the impassioned background music, huge subtitles began to emerge.

"【Director: Luo Mo.】"

In the scene, boxes of Medicine began to be loaded into a truck.

There were even more people buying the Medicine as if they were crazily grabbing it.

Cheng Yong's table was covered with cash; he drunkenly stretched out his hands, touching the cash, as if swimming in an ocean of money.

The camera gave him a close-up, and he said with a serious face: "Life is money!"

The movie title was inserted at this moment: *Dying to Survive*.

Slap, a box of things was suddenly thrown onto the ground.

A police officer said to Cheng Yong, who was squatting on the ground: "You sell erectile dysfunction Medicine, why are you putting up so many silk banners?"

Cheng Yong raised his head and whispered in defense: "It's... it's effective!"

The huge subtitles emerged once again:

"【August 2nd, entering the world of Medicine.】"

The entire trailer ended there.

After finishing, Shen Yinuo tightened her bath towel, turned her head to glance at Jiang Ningxi, and said, "A Comedy?"

She suddenly felt that not having gone to film this movie seemed... actually fine.

This young lady has no desire to go film a movie that sells Indian God Oil!

What kind of racy subject matter did Luo Mo pick!

If I were to go film it, with my assets, wouldn't they also require me to sacrifice myself for art?

However, if it is a Comedy, perhaps it could still be considered interesting, it's just a little bit... vulgar?

Shen Yinuo took the body lotion and said to Jiang Ningxi, "Come, Nanny Jiang, now you can rub the God Oil for this palace."

Jiang Ningxi rolled her eyes at her and said, "Only an idiot like you would think this movie of Luo Mo's is selling Indian God Oil."

"Ah, how is it not!" Shen Yinuo was speechless, feeling she had been mocked again.

Jiang Ningxi couldn't be bothered to explain, only feeling that this person Luo Mo had at least eight hundred Heart Eyes.

Someone like Xiao Shen wouldn't even be enough for him to deceive!

"Alright, alright, come on, time to rub on body lotion!" Jiang Ningxi pulled off her bath towel in one go, eliciting a delicate cry.

……..

……..

The smoke bomb of "Dying to Survive" had a huge response online.

A certain man with many Heart Eyes felt perfectly at ease.

Luo Mo felt that having thick fog appear right at the start of the trailer was equivalent to already hinting to everyone: "This is a smoke bomb!"

Compared to some film and television companies that would specifically film a fake trailer, Luo Mo's method of using editing to create a fog of confusion was already quite aboveboard.

It was just that, because there were truly too many celebrities forwarding the trailer, it appeared a bit grand in scale.

Honestly, Luo Mo did not specifically contact anyone to ask them to help forward it.

But the entertainment industry is just that kind of place; as long as your popularity is high and you are hot enough, some people who have only met you once will also pretend to be very close and help out in all sorts of thoughtful ways.

The more decadent a place is, the more it is filled with all sorts of hypocrisy.

However, there are indeed quite a few people online now who mistakenly believe that "Medicine God" is a Comedy.

First of all, the name of this movie looks rather strange and doesn't give people a very profound feeling.

At the same time, Wang Rong comes from a background as a Comedy Actor, and in his representative works, seventy or eighty percent are Comedies; he himself is also full of comedic sense, making people want to laugh just looking at him.

However, based on their trust in Luo Mo, everyone does not think this is a purely commercial Comedy.

Up until now, the vast majority of Luo Mo's works have had a core within them.

Just like the short film "Ten Years of Work Offstage," which is also a Comedy subject.

Moreover, in this day and age, audiences have long been deceived by trailers too many times and have become experts through long-term illness.

What kind of new scam routine haven't we seen?

This Comedy movie must also have its rich connotations within it.

We'll just wait and see!

Besides this, many 【Mo Sheng Ren】 suggested to each other that even if it is a Comedy, sisters should best bring tissues when going to watch it.

Laughing until crying is possible, but the possibility of there being tear-jerking points at the end is also extremely high; after all, Luo Mo's style is understood by those who understand.

On the other side, "Forensic Qin Ming," with a total of only 20 episodes, has also already aired more than half.

This means that the third web drama of this year's 【Mist Theater】 should also begin preparations.

For this reason, the working Guan Fei called Luo Mo several times to urge him for the script, expressing that he should hand over the script quickly.

Guan Fei still hasn't seen the script yet, only having heard Luo Mo describe it roughly, saying that the male lead of this web drama has relatively high Requirements for acting skills.

"This Actor needs to play four roles in the drama," Luo Mo said.

"Four roles? That's an exaggeration!" Guan Fei was puzzled.

Under normal circumstances, audiences can still accept one person playing two roles.

One person playing four roles, how common a face must that be, and can there really be four people with the same face?

But Luo Mo's following words made Guan Fei feel the information density was very high, and very convoluted.

"This Actor needs to play: the older brother, the younger brother, the younger brother played by the older brother, and the older brother played by the younger brother."

"What? What kind of thing is that?" Guan Fei didn't understand but felt it was powerful.

It sounds confusing just listening to it; if this were an Actor from the Experience School, wouldn't they drive themselves into having a split personality?

And tonight, Guan Fei finally received the script sent by Luo Mo.

"Whoa, you finally sent me the script!" Guan Fei let out a long sigh of relief.

This person Luo Mo plays the 【Monarch Offline System】 too well; he is too irresponsible!

However, Guan Fei also understood that the movie's promotional period is indeed quite busy, with many trivial matters to handle.

After receiving the script, Guan Fei first looked at the title of the drama and felt it was quite interesting.

"White Night."

(ps: First update, asking for monthly tickets.)
