The Entertainment Industry in Turmoil: Young Actresses All Want to Rise to the Top

Chapter 339 Tian Xiwei, are you crazy?

In August, the capital city is sweltering with heat.

As soon as filming wrapped up for "July and Ansheng", Tian Xiwei went straight to Shen Mo's office.

She had originally planned to take a break, but when she casually scrolled through her phone after work yesterday, she was bombarded with promotional articles for "Love O2O".

In the scene, Shen Mo is wearing a white shirt, his eyebrows and eyes are cool and handsome, while Bai Lu leans on his shoulder, laughing so hard that her gums are almost showing.

At that moment, Tian Xiwei's possessiveness as a fiancée erupted instantly.

"Discuss cooperation? Yes, I'm going to discuss serious cooperation!"

She applied a bold red lipstick in front of the mirror in the elevator, then confidently pushed open the door to Shen Mo's office.

However, the sight behind the door made her blood pressure rise even higher.

Shen Mo sat behind a large desk, while Bai Lu, dressed in a very figure-hugging 0L business suit, held a folder in her hand and was talking to Shen Mo with great enthusiasm.

His expression didn't look like he was reporting on work at all; it looked more like he was talking about love.

When Bai Lu heard the door open, she turned around and saw Tian Xiwei. She was stunned for a moment, then gave a bright smile.

"Xiao Tian! Filming for 'Soulmate' has wrapped up? Congratulations!"

Tian Xiwei walked over in her high heels, her eyes sweeping over Bai Lu, and she spoke sourly.

"Isn't it enough that you're on TV shows together every day for promotions? You're still all lovey-dovey even back at the company?"

"Mr. Shen, is it really necessary to handle this business personally to get it right?"

Bai Lu wasn't shy at all; instead, she puffed out her chest and confidently met Tian Xiwei's gaze.

"Look at what you're saying. I'm Brother Mo's assistant now, the kind who gets paid."

"Of course I have to help with the business when I get back to the company. After all, Brother Mo has been so busy with the premiere of 'Love O2O' that he's barely having time to breathe. I feel sorry for him."

"Feel sorry for me?" Tian Xi sneered.

"Assistant Bai, have you forgotten that I am the boss of Chenxi Media?"

"I'm here to see your General Manager Shen to discuss a strategic partnership between our two companies. Shouldn't you, as his assistant, be a little more perceptive?"

"Oh? To discuss business?"

Bai Lu looked at her with a teasing expression, her eyes full of mockery.

"Then I'd better take some good meeting notes."

Tian Xiwei raised her chin slightly.

"Assistant Bai, could you please go out and get me a cup of tea?"

"Remember, I want hand-brewed Longjing tea, with water at 85 degrees Celsius."

Just as Bai Lu was about to retort, Shen Mo, who had been watching the two fight with a smile, finally spoke up.

He stood up, walked to Bai Lu's side, and gently patted her arm.

"Mengyan, you can go out now."

Shen Mo smiled gently.

"I'll chat with Tian'er. You've been working hard all morning, go and rest for a while."

Bai Lu raised an eyebrow, gave Tian Xiwei a provocative look, snorted, and swayed her slender waist as she walked out of the office.

The moment the door closed, Tian Xiwei's facade in front of Bai Lu crumbled instantly.

She plopped down on Shen Mo's desk, glaring at him angrily.

"Bai Mengyan is getting more and more outrageous. Relying on you as her backer, she's been talking nonsense and is practically riding roughshod over me!"

Shen Mo walked around the table to her and looked at her pretty face, which was particularly lively because of her anger.

Compared to the mature Tian Xiwei of her previous life, the current Tian Xiwei has more of a girlish spoiledness and wildness, but she feels more real to him.

"If you're willing to come back, I'll be your backer."

Shen Mo braced his hands on the edge of the table, encircling her in his arms, his gaze intense.

"Even if you turn the entire entertainment industry upside down, I'll take the blame for you."

"Don't even mention Bai Mengyan, I'll take you to slap all those big shots in Beijing's elite circles, one by one, okay?"

Tian Xiwei blushed at his undisguised words, but still stubbornly rolled her eyes.

"Do you think I'm a silly goose? Trying to turn the entertainment industry upside down?"

"Kang Kang is quite a troublemaker, but you still spoil him, don't you?"

Shen Mo chuckled and mentioned the name that made Tian Xiwei's heart tremble.

Kang Kang was their Maine Coon cat from their past life, weighing over 20 kilograms. When it got rowdy, it was a disaster.

Tian Xiwei's eyes softened for a moment, then returned to their usual coldness.

She recalled the moment she was reborn, and the beautiful women around Shen Mo now. The complex emotions made her subconsciously want to prove herself.

"It's fine if you come back now."

She pushed Shen Mo away and stood up.

"Otherwise, if I go out and come back empty-handed after achieving nothing, what will people think of me?"

"Bai Mengyan, Wang Churan, and Liu Haocun will probably laugh at me."

"I, Tian Xiwei, can't bear the shame."

"So when do you plan to come back?" Shen Mo asked, leaning against the table.

Tian Xi tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.

"After I win a Best Actress award or something, I'll cultivate a few top-tier stars for Chenxi Media."

"Then, when my company is valued at several billion, I'll come back in glory as your strategic partner, Mr. Shen."

"Um----"

"Okay!" Shen Mo nodded with a smile.

In his eyes, this was not an obstacle at all.

Instead, it was Tian Xiwei displaying her health bar.

The worst thing about fighting a boss is when the boss has no health bar.

Once your health bar is up, you'll eventually be worn down and killed.

Whether it's a high valuation or becoming a film or television queen, in the eyes of someone like Shen Mo who controls the future script, it's just a matter of time.

At this moment, Bai Lu came in carrying tea.

She had clearly lingered for a while on purpose. When she came in, her gaze swept over the two of them. Seeing that nothing special had happened, she pouted in disappointment and put down her tea.

"Alright, you two bosses, stop 'plotting' here and sit down to talk."

The three settled down on the sofa in the reception area, and the atmosphere finally shifted from personal grievances to business discussions.

"The 'Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms' project can now proceed."

Shen Mo pushed aside a proposal.

"Let Ink Trace provide the funding, and Dawn take the lead in production."

"Yang Mi will play the female lead. She's in the perfect state right now for this kind of fantasy romance. I promised her that before."

"The second female lead is Wang Churan; her looks are absolutely stunning in period dramas."

"As for the other roles, Gao Weiguang, Zhang Binbin, Zhu Xudan, and the others from your Chenxi team, you can arrange them as you see fit."

Tian Xi nodded slightly. She had come to terms with it now. The couple had already snapped up all the premium products from Future Energy and stored them away.

She no longer expected to create a blockbuster new film and television project on her own, so she accepted all of Shen Mo's arrangements without hesitation.

"The focus going forward is on variety shows."

"I've finalized the cast for 'Who's the Murderer'."

"We've reached an agreement with Hunan TV regarding He Jiong. The condition for him joining is that the show will be broadcast jointly by Hunan TV and Mohen Video."

"I'll coordinate with Sa Beining. Yangshi is more lenient now, so as long as the program's concept is high enough, he should be able to come."

"As for the other guests, Zhang Ruoyun, Dilraba, and Li Qin are our people. Chenxi, please give Zhang Ruonan a spot."

.

"As for 'Escape Room,' it's for fans of romantic pairings and for the faint of heart."

"Yang Mi will lead the team, along with Yi Tong and you."

In her previous life, Yang Mi was one of the core members of "Escape Room" and contributed many memorable scenes. Now that she is one of our own, it is perfectly reasonable to have her play a role.

Li Yitong and Tian Xiwei were originally a couple, Tongxinweimin. Tian Xiwei is reckless and frank, while Li Yitong is timid and soft.

But in dangerous situations, even if Li Yitong is terrified, she will instinctively stand in front of Tian Xiwei. Their appearance together on the show will surely create many memorable moments.

"Peng Yuchang and you have filmed several seasons of 'Longing,' so you can ride the wave of popularity of the national siblings."

"The last spot is for Wang Anyu, whom I believe you are familiar with. He is not a daring person, so he is a perfect fit for this show."

"Then there's 'Chinese Restaurant'."

"Jia Bin will be in charge of the cooking and the humor, Zeng Shunxi will be there to show his face, Meng Ziyi will be there to be her silly beauty, and Zhou Ye and Song Weilong from Chenxi will also come along. They can also form a dream-interpreting couple by the way."

Peng Yuchang, Wang Anyu, and Zeng Shunxi are all trainees trained by Mohen for several years and have played many supporting roles in numerous TV dramas.

In the last two years, I've reached the age where I can basically play leading roles, but my popularity is still relatively low. These variety shows are a good way for me to boost my profile.

These three variety shows were all painstakingly crafted by Tian Xiwei and Li Yitong when they were working late into the night on the set of "July and Ansheng".

Her arrangement of these festivals is not surprising.

Bai Lu, who was sitting to the side, was completely distraught.

She originally thought that as the chairman's assistant, she would have access to all the company's first-hand resources.

Who would have thought that Shen Mo and Li Yitong had put together three such large-scale variety shows without them even knowing it?

This layout is designed to completely dominate the three major platforms.

But most importantly, there wasn't a share for me!

Thinking of this, Bai Lu's face immediately fell, and she couldn't help but hunch over and pout.

This scene naturally caught Tian Xiwei's eye, and she immediately guessed Bai Lu's thoughts.

With a quick glance, Tian Xiwei's fiery and mischievous spirit instantly kicked in.

She tossed the proposal she was holding onto the coffee table, glanced at Bai Lu sideways, and spoke with a tone full of schadenfreude and mockery.

"Oh dear, Bai Mengyan, even your personal assistant isn't up to par!"

Tian Xiwei deliberately dragged out the tone.

"You're always hanging around your brother Mo, and what's the result?"

"Such a huge project, and you haven't even gotten close to it."

"So, your main job as an assistant is just serving tea and water?"

Bai Lu's eyes widened suddenly, and she retorted defiantly.

"What do you know!"

"I have 'Running Man,' a nationally popular show. How many people across China watch it every Friday?"

"Do you understand this kind of dominance?"

"Tch, it's not like everyone doesn't have a national variety show."

Tian Xi gave a disdainful snort.

"The 'Back to Field' show I'm holding is the pinnacle of healing entertainment; I'm still the nation's little sister to audiences across the country!"

"Besides, Dilraba also has 'Go Fighting!', is it any worse than you?"

"But we all have new projects!"

Bai Lu took a deep breath, her chest heaving.

She recalled Tian Xiwei's expression of being caught cheating by her boss, and then thought of Shen Mo's undisguised tenderness towards Tian Xiwei. The bitterness and grievances in her heart finally overwhelmed her.

She suddenly stood up, her small hands clenched tightly.

Tian Xiwei was startled by her posture and subconsciously raised her arm in a defensive stance, raising an eyebrow as she spoke.

"what?"

"You want to resort to violence when you can't win an argument?"

"Bai Mengyan, I'm warning you, don't go looking for trouble!"

"You can't beat me!"

However, Bai Lu's next move showed Tian Xiwei what a "high-class green tea version of Bai Mengyan" really meant.

Bai Lu completely ignored Tian Xiwei's provocation. Her lips pursed and her eyes reddened instantly, without any preamble.

Then she burst into tears with a loud "waaaaa," her cry so earth-shattering, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Wow! Brother Mo! Tian Xiwei bullied me! Not only did she laugh at me for not having any projects, she also threatened me!"

Before she finished speaking, Bai Lu pounced and landed precisely in Shen Mo's arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist and rubbing her head against his chest.

Tian Xiwei stared in disbelief, then crossed her arms and snorted coldly.

"Alright, Bai Mengyan, stop pretending. Your acting is too exaggerated!"

"You didn't even shed a tear!"

Bai Lu nestled in Shen Mo's arms and pretended to sob twice. Without getting up, she simply rolled over in Shen Mo's arms.

Still leaning against Shen Mo's chest, she looked directly at Tian Xiwei.

At that moment, the tears in her eyes vanished without a trace, replaced by an extreme sense of provocation and triumph.

So what if you have variety shows? So what if you have a company? So what if you're a boss?

I'm lying in Mo Ge's arms now.

And you, you can only stand and watch!

"You—can't—do it!"

Bai Lu silently mouthed three words to Tian Xiwei.

Tian Xi was so angry that her teeth itched, and her fiery temper, typical of a Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaurus Rex, was instantly ignited.

Although reason tells her that she and Shen Mo are currently not officially recognized or recognized.

But if Tian Xiwei could tolerate seeing her fiancé being openly seduced and provoked by another woman, she wouldn't be Tian Xiwei!

[Anyone who dares to seduce me in front of me? They're not worthy, but I'll kill them!]

Tian Xi let out a low growl, completely abandoning any semblance of elegance, and pounced like a little leopard.

"Hey! Tian Xiwei, are you crazy?! Brother Mo, help me!"

Bai Lu cried out in surprise.

"Yes, I'm crazy! Anyone who tries to reason with me is a coward!"

Tian Xiwei immediately started scratching Bai Lu's carefully styled long hair, her movements were so fast that she instantly turned Bai Lu's hair into a mess.

Immediately afterwards, Tian Xi lifted her leg and straddled Bai Lu's waist.

She pressed down on Bai Lu's resisting wrists with both hands, using her weight to pin Bai Lu down.

However, this posture turned out to be a strange one.

Bai Lu was lying in Shen Mo's arms, while Tian Xiwei straddled Bai Lu's waist, which meant that Tian Xiwei was also sitting in Shen Mo's arms.

Shen Mo was like a base that had borne too much, with Bai Lu lying in his arms, who was being bullied, and Tian Xiwei sitting on his lap, who was going crazy.

"Brother Mo, help! This woman is trying to kill me to cover her up!"

Bai Lu tilted her head back and shouted.

Seeing this, Shen Mo couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He reached out and grabbed Tian Xiwei's hands, which were bullying Bai Lu, and then pulled her into his arms with a little force.

"Alright, alright, Tian'er, stop bullying Mengyan."

Shen Mo's voice carried a hint of doting.

Before Tian Xiwei could speak, Bai Lu, who was beneath her, spoke again, her voice pitiful and muffled, as if she had been squeezed.

"Brother Mo, I feel like you two are ganging up on me."

"I can't breathe!"

Only then did Tian Xiwei belatedly realize how strange her posture was.

She was practically pressed against Shen Mo's chest, her face almost touching Bai Lu's.

Tian Xiwei suppressed the urge to laugh, but still didn't intend to let her off easily.

She deliberately and mischievously ground her buttocks against Bai Lu's waist, causing Bai Lu to grimace in pain before finally getting up.

"I've finished talking, I'll be going now!"

Tian Xiwei clapped her hands in a seemingly nonchalant manner, straightened her clothes, and then turned and walked out of the office. However, her slightly red ears betrayed the turmoil in her heart at that moment.

As Shen Mo watched Tian Xiwei's departing figure, a thought struck him, and he suddenly called out to her.

"Hey, Tian'er!"

Tian Xi stopped walking slightly, but didn't turn around; she simply turned her face to the side.

A sly smile curved Shen Mo's lips.

"The first episode of 'Who's the Murderer' lacks atmosphere, and it's missing a character like a search dog. Would you be interested in playing that role?"

Tian Xi was stunned for a second, then realized that Shen Mo was mocking her for "catching her cheating" earlier. She was so angry that she turned around on the spot, waving her little fists and was about to rush back.

"Shen Mo! You're the dog! You idiot!"

Shen Mo laughed heartily and leaned back.

"Huskies are great, they're full of energy and can even demolish things."

"Didn't that husky just say it was going to tear the entire entertainment industry apart?"

Tian Xi looked into Shen Mo's eyes, which were full of teasing yet deeply affectionate, and her cheeks flushed a bright blush. Her clenched fists slowly loosened.

She glared at Shen Mo fiercely, then stormed out of the office, muttering curses, but the corners of her mouth couldn't be suppressed.

As the office door closed, the smile on Shen Mo's face gradually faded.

He looked down at Bai Lu in his arms, then at the direction Tian Xiwei had left in, a hint of unbridled ambition flashing in his eyes.

Now that Lao Tian has revealed his health bar and made his request, he has to speed things up.

Then let's help her reach the top of the entertainment industry pyramid, and then let her return to his side in glory.

Bai Lu suddenly sat up straight, cupped Shen Mo's face in her hands, and gave him a big kiss on the lips.

With a crisp, loud "smack," it made a clear sound.

She looked at Shen Mo with her big, bright eyes, her voice sweet and innocent.

"Brother Mo, when you called her a husky earlier, were you doing it to get revenge for me?"

Looking at the straightforward and somewhat naive girl in front of him, Shen Mo couldn't help but pat her head.

"Hahaha, Silly Silly! Silly Silly Tian!"

Bai Lu muttered the nickname to herself while chuckling to herself.

She doesn't care about being a movie queen or TV queen, or having a net worth of billions.

The lipstick mark on Mo Ge's lips now represents the empire that Bai Mengyan wants to conquer!
