This director is vindictive.

Chapter 55 The enemy of my enemy is my friend

Chen Mo still gave face to the top agent in the entertainment industry and agreed to meet him.

The place where the two parties met was a teahouse.

When Chen Mo arrived, Wang Jinhua was already there.

"Ms. Wang, am I not late?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"No, no, I arrived early." Wang Jinhua stood up to greet him and said with a smile.

"That's good!" Chen Mo smiled, nodded and sat down.

Soon, Wang Jinhua asked curiously, "Director Chen, are you really not considering continuing to be an actor? It would be a shame to give up on acting with your looks."

Chen Mo was a little surprised. He was worthy of being the number one agent in the entertainment industry. He flattered silently.

Well, being praised for being handsome, although it was a rather roundabout way of speaking, still made Chen Mo quite happy.

After some polite business exchanging, the two began to get down to business.

"Ms. Wang is worthy of being the number one agent in the industry. You are well-informed. You found out about 'Love Is Not Blind' right after it was finalized." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"There's nothing I can do. I have so many artists under my management. As their agent, I naturally have to keep an eye on the developments in the circle, not to mention the most popular new directors like you, Director Chen." Wang Jinhua looked helpless, and then praised Chen Mo.

"For the work 'Love is Not Blind', I specially read the novel. I have to say that Director Chen's vision is indeed unique. No wonder he can make such excellent works as 'Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together' and the first online movie 'Mr. Vampire' in succession." She continued.

"Ms. Wang, there's no need to say more about this. Just tell me directly. Which artist do you want to recommend to me?" Chen Mo interrupted Wang Jinhua and said.

"Bai Baihe, this is her information. Director Chen can take a look." Wang Jinhua said as she took out a copy of Bai Baihe's information and handed it to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo flipped through the pages casually a few times, then looked up and said, "Ms. Wang, I can give you an audition opportunity, but I can't guarantee the result."

This was obviously not the result Wang Jinhua wanted, or in other words, if it was just an audition opportunity, she wouldn't have to go out of her way to use Xiaoma Pentium's connections to make an appointment with Chen Mo.

"Director Chen, Lily is really suitable for this role. Huang Xiaoxian's personality has many similarities with hers, such as persistence and stubbornness," Wang Jinhua continued.

Chen Mo remained unmoved.

The world will continue to turn without anyone. Yes, Bai Baihe did perform well in the original version, but that doesn’t mean Chen Mo has to use her.

Finally, Wang Jinhua, who was obviously well prepared, hesitated for a moment and said, "Director Chen, do you still remember Wang Ludan?"

Chen Mo couldn't help but look at Wang Jinhua in surprise: "Of course, stabbing a knife to teach a female guardian, how could I not remember it? How come she is also an artist under Ms. Wang?"

"No, no, no, she is not my artist. However, her career does not seem to have been greatly affected by the online defamation case. Last year, she was selected as the most popular actress at the Golden Eagle Awards and became the actress of the Golden Eagle Goddess at the 3rd Golden Eagle Festival." Wang Jinhua shook her head, then looked at Chen Mo and said.

It must be said that her words made Chen Mo a little silent.

In last year's online defamation case, the people most affected were Fang Xiaoxiao and Du Chun. Although other actors were also affected to some extent, the matter was quickly downplayed probably because there were so many people involved.

For example, Wang Ludan was affected at the beginning, but he still won awards afterwards.

All I can say is that Chen Mo’s personal influence is still far from enough.

"Ms. Wang, what do you mean? Are you here to make fun of me?" Chen Mo asked calmly. His reaction surprised Wang Jinhua. She had studied Chen Mo's character, from the online defamation incident and the Yu Youde incident, and she thought Chen Mo was a vindictive person.

That's why she took the risk of bringing up Wang Ludan, one of the guardians of the Stab Cult, but Chen Mo's reaction was calmer than she expected.

"Of course not. Director Chen, don't you think Bai Baihe and Wang Ludan look very similar?" Wang Jinhua asked with a smile.

Chen Mo immediately understood. He was worthy of his reputation. He could actually think of such a roundabout way.

To be honest, if you think about it carefully, you will find that Wang Jinhua really hit the spot in Chen Mo's heart.

If we talk about their past lives, many people can't even tell the difference between Wang Ludan and Bai Baihe.

But Wang Ludan's starting point was indeed much higher than Bai Baihe's. It was also from "Love Is Not Blind" that Bai Baihe began to surpass Wang Ludan, which made Wang Ludan always suppressed. After all, they have the same face.

So if it weren't for "Love Is Not Blind" that made Bai Baihe famous, would things have been the other way around?

Without Bai Baihe, a competitor, will Wang Ludan develop better? Chen Mo doesn't know, but you know what, it's really possible.

If I think about it carefully, I can use Bai Baihe. After all, what does the One Finger Zen have to do with me? And that will be many years in the future.

If you think about it this way, it would be unfair to say that the original version of "Love Is Not Blind" on Tenghuatao features artists who cheated on their husbands and took drugs.

Thinking that because of not using Bai Baihe, Wang Ludan might miss out on her biggest career competitor, wouldn't that be equivalent to helping her?

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Yes, they are quite similar! As expected of Ms. Wang, I admit that you have convinced me a little. But this is not enough."

"How about I consider it as one I owe you?" Wang Jinhua said with a smile, her eyes lighting up when she heard that.

"Let her watch 'Love Is Not Blind' more. Well, she can talk to the original author more when she has time." Chen Mo finally decided to use Bai Baihe. Compared to Wang Ludan, the stabbing guardian, Bai Baihe clearly had no grudges against him. As for personal character, this is the entertainment industry, everyone has their shit on. Besides, it's not an unforgivable sin, and it's none of Chen Mo's business. Besides, while Wang Jinhua's connections might not be of much use now, she's still a top agent in the entertainment industry with a wide network of contacts. Maybe she could use them later.

This is good, so I don’t have to go through the trouble of finding a replacement.

The work "Love Is Not Blind" is actually a work with a strong personal style. Of course, what I am talking about here is the style of the original author.

It can be said that the biggest advantage of this work lies in the lines, and of course it is impossible for Chen Mo to remember all the lines.

So, he asked Bao Jingjing, the original author, to help write the script.

At the same time, in terms of actors, the key characters in this movie are actually just a few, including Wang Xiaojian, Huang Xiaoxian, Lao Wang and others.

Since Huang Xiaoxian has been confirmed, there is no plan to find anyone else to play the remaining Big Wang and Chen Mo. The original role played by Lao Zhang is pretty good.

As for the role of Wang Xiaojian, Chen Mo does have a candidate in mind, but it depends on whether the other person is willing to take it.

It's not that the other party is too big a star, but it's funny that he became famous for playing a "sissy" role before, but this role hit him hard. He even turned down similar dramas for fear of being stereotyped. He didn't want to be a sissy, which resulted in him having no work to do for a long time.

Chen Mo didn't know whether he would be willing to play the role of Wang Xiaojian.

But based on his performance in "Ugly Betty", Chen Mo really thinks that he is very suitable for the role of Wang Xiaojian.
