HuaYu: Superstars Starting from Super Star Avenue

Lin Mo returned home from the CTV building in the evening.

"Ah Mo, are you saying that Angie Chai, who made F4 and Fahrenheit famous, wanted to sign you, but was stopped by Wang Weizhong and Yuan Weiren from HIM International Music?"

Seeing Zeng Peici's surprise, Lin Mo nodded gently.

"right."

Zeng Peici's delicate eyebrows stood up:

"How could they do this!" She put down her chopsticks, her tone full of indignation for Lin Mo.

"I've heard that in mainland China's talent shows, if a contestant performs well, the production team is eager to offer them a contract!"

"What's wrong with them? Not only do they refuse to sign you, they also prevent others from signing you?"

She became increasingly angry as she spoke:

"That's Angie Chai! She's from Comic! So many people want to get in but can't!"

Lin Mo just smiled when he saw her puffed-up face.

"What's the rush?"

"How can I not be in a hurry!" Zeng Peici poked at the rice in her bowl. "It would be such a pity to miss out!"

"Signing now might not be a good thing," Lin Mo commented.

"Huh?" Zeng Peici asked, puzzled.

"Why? Wouldn't signing a contract sooner mean getting resources sooner?"

"Resources will be available," Lin Mo said patiently, putting down his bowl.

"But new contracts are long-term, with low revenue sharing and many restrictions."

"I'm just starting to see some improvement, so their offers won't be very good."

"If we absolutely have to sign, I'd like to shorten the term and negotiate a higher profit-sharing agreement."

"However, they may not agree."

Zeng Peici blinked, seemingly understanding but not quite:

"You're so knowledgeable..."

She didn't really understand these things, but she thought Lin Mo was right.

If this were said more than a decade or two later, it would sound somewhat sarcastic and cynical.

Right now, as a soon-to-be-graduated college student from Taipei, how could I possibly understand all the intricacies of the entertainment industry?

Lin Mo didn't explain much.

There are some things that she might not understand if I tell her now.

For example, what he really wanted was far more than just negotiating a good contract.

"However," Lin Mo changed the subject.

"Angie Chai told me to go see her tomorrow, saying that a film crew is short of people."

"Oh?" Zeng Peici was immediately intrigued.

"Which film crew?"

"The Ultimate Family"

"The Ultimate Family?" Zeng Peici's eyes widened.

"Is it the sequel to 'KO One'? The one starring Fei Lun Hai?"

Lin Mo nodded: "It should be. She said there was a role that would suit me, and she suggested I give it a try."

Zeng Peici's eyes showed some excitement:

"So you're going to act in a movie with Fei Lun Hai? Wang Da Dong! Yan Ya Lun! Wu Zun..."

She counted on her fingers, then suddenly thought of something, and her expression became conflicted:

"But...you still have a competition, what if there's a time conflict?"

"Probably not." Lin Mo thought for a moment.

"Since Angie Chai has asked, she will definitely coordinate the time. Moreover, I heard that the filming of KO One is almost finished, and she asked me to play a cameo role. It's not a big role, and it can be filmed in a day or two."

Zeng Peici was relieved, then asked curiously:

"What character is that? Is he handsome?"

"She didn't specify, only that it was a role that suited me very well," Lin Mo smiled.

"You'll find out when you go tomorrow."

......

......

The next morning, Lin Mo sat in Angie Chai's RV and headed to the filming location of "The Ultimate Family".

Angie Chai, who was wearing glasses and looking at documents, handed Lin Mo a script.

"Look along the way; the character information is in there."

Lin Mo thanked him and opened the script to read.

[Character: Flame Messenger]

[Character Introduction]: The ultimate maintainer of order in the Iron Dimension. When a certain dimension falls into chaos and good and evil are reversed, the Flame Messenger will descend to carry out the mission of "resetting". The last time he descended on Earth, it led to the extinction of the dinosaurs and the disappearance of the Mayan civilization.

[This mission]: Due to the rampant evil in the Iron Dimension, the balance between good and evil has been disrupted. We are ordered to eliminate two-thirds of the evil souls and restore order.

[Superpower Index]: 1 followed by 36 zeros (script note: actors should interpret this as "invincible").

Lin Mo's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

This setting... is definitely very much like the "Ultimate" series, with an off-the-charts level of chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur).

Quickly flip through the next few scenes.

The main focus is on the scenes where he confronts Xia Tian, ​​played by Wang Dongcheng, the leader of the alliance played by Yan Yalun, and Lanling Wang, played by Chen Yiru.

The dialogue is minimal, consisting of only a few lines, emphasizing an aura of dominance and mystery.

Finally, inspired by the protagonist group's "love and hope," they chose to leave temporarily, giving the Iron Dimension a chance.

A typical example of a character with top-tier combat power serving as a support role.

"I've finished watching," came Angie Chai's voice from the side.

Lin Mo closed the script and nodded:

"I've finished watching it. The scenes are very focused, and the settings aren't complicated."

"We originally wanted Wu Zun to have a cameo role in this one." Angie Chai took off her glasses and rubbed her temples.

"However, he's currently filming 'Romantic Princess,' and his schedule is tight. If we wait for him, filming will be delayed. And..."

She paused briefly, her tone somewhat subtle.

"He's not very interested in this kind of superpowered combat theme."

Lin Mo immediately understood.

indeed.

Wu Zun has always had the best resources in the group.

From "Tokyo Juliet" and "Hana-Kimi" to this year's "Romantic Princess" co-starring with Zhang Shaohan, they are all youth idol dramas.

It's normal to not like this kind of show.

"How is it? Can you handle it?" Chai Zhiping looked at him.

"Although the role is small, the character is designed to be at the peak of combat power and needs a very strong presence."

"It's your first time acting, and you have to put up a lot of pressure on those three senior actors who have been filming for a long time."

Lin Mo pondered for a moment, then nodded:

"It should be possible."

The character's setup isn't complicated; he just stands there posing, says a few lines, and then slaps a group of people across the street, knocking them down and leaving.

The main difficulty is... just trying not to laugh.

Yes.

In Lin Mo's opinion, this kind of drama from this era is really a bit awkward.

The car drove into a makeshift film and television base.

Angie Chai's car served as her pass on set, allowing her to move freely without hindrance.

After getting off the bus, many staff members looked at Lin Mo with curiosity.

Amidst greetings of "Hello, Sister Chai," Lin Mo followed her to the largest photography studio.

An indoor scene was being filmed in the studio. Instead of disturbing it, Angie Chai stood on the outside and gestured for Lin Mo to look over.

In the center of the field, three young people dressed in strange costumes were filming a scene.

It was the three people from Fei Lun Hai.

"You know all three of them, right?" Chai Zhiping asked in a low voice.

"I've seen it on TV," Lin Mo replied truthfully.

Fei Lun Hai officially debuted as a group on December 28, 2005. They rose to fame after starring in the idol drama "KO One". In 2006, they released their first self-titled album and became an instant hit.

Currently, it is indeed quite popular in Taiwan.

At this point, the three actors finished filming their scenes, and director Lin Qingfang called "Cut!" The staff went up to assist the three lead actors.

Lin Qingfang noticed Chai Zhiping over there and came over to greet her:

"Sister Chai, is this the one you said you'd be playing the Flame Messenger yesterday?"
