He plays Feng Yuxiu, and his girlfriend is a fairy-like beauty.

Ye Mo compiled the information overnight.

He broke down his understanding of the Joker into four parts: motivation, background, mirror image, and personality essence. He wrote a detailed explanation and specific performance directions for each part.

I wrote until 3 a.m. and sent the document to Nolan's email address.

Nolan's reply arrived the next morning.

Ye Mo opened the email, and a whole page of English text appeared on the screen.

He flipped through the pages, turning three pages.

Nolan didn't use any polite words.

He analyzed the feasibility of Ye Mo's understanding from beginning to end, which points could be directly incorporated into the script, which points needed to be discussed with the cinematographer and art director, and which points could only be decided on set.

In the last paragraph, Nolan wrote a sentence.

"This information is more professional than any screenwriting consultant I've consulted before, and I've already forwarded it to my screenwriting team."

After reading it, Ye Mo put down his phone.

Sister Zhang's call came in right away.

"What did you do after you saw Director Nolan off yesterday?"

"I organized the information and sent it to him."

"Did Nolan reply to you?"

"Yes."

Sister Zhang was silent for two seconds on the other end of the line.

"So, the Joker role is yours?"

"Yes, it's settled."

"Ye Mo," Sister Zhang's voice was devoid of emotion, "you really know how to cause trouble."

"What's wrong?"

"Do the math yourself. How many things do you have on your plate right now? 'Dying to Survive' hasn't finished filming yet, and you're the director. You're also an investor in 'Dying to Survive.' You have a share in 'Detective Chinatown 2,' and now you've taken on the Joker role in 'Batman.'" Sister Zhang paused for a moment. "What you're doing all by yourself is more than all the artists under me combined. As a manager, this is the first time I've felt that having too many people working so hard can be a problem."

"Should we give you a raise too?"

"Stop it. Finish filming 'Dying to Survive' first. Don't try to have your cake and eat it too."

Now, Ye Mo and Sister Zhang's relationship is more than just that of manager.

He is both the boss and the employee, and also a partner.

Besides Ye Mo, Sister Zhang is also responsible for Zhang Songwen and some newcomers.

A company can't rely solely on Ye Mo; it needs fresh blood.

Ye Mo smiled and hung up the phone.

The news has already spread on set.

It wasn't Ye Mo who said that.

It was spread by those few people who didn't get a day off yesterday and were secretly standing in a corner of the set.

"You didn't see it, but when Director Ye came out of the dressing room dressed as the clown, Director Nolan stood up completely."

When the prop guy said this, his eyes widened and he gestured with his hands.

"Nolan! The Nolan who made Inception and Interstellar! He clapped at Director Yip! And even shouted something in English!"

"What are you shouting?" someone nearby asked.

"I don't understand, but it's a compliment."

"So, Director Ye is now in one of Nolan's films?"

"Of course! Didn't you see Nolan's expression when he left? Like he'd struck gold."

Zhang Songwen passed by, overheard a bit, and slowed down.

He leaned closer and asked in a low voice.

"Are you telling the truth? Director Ye is going to act in a Nolan movie?"

"Teacher Songwen, it's absolutely true. Yesterday, Director Nolan and Teacher Cheng Long came to the set together. Director Ye came out with Joker makeup on, and the three of them chatted for a long time at the entrance of the dressing room."

Zhang Songwen stood up straight, his expression complex.

He followed Ye Mo from "The Storm" to "Dying to Survive".

I watched Ye Mo transform from an actor into a director.

He went from being a director to an investor.

Now this person is going to Hollywood to act in a Nolan movie.

He suddenly felt that his path as a boss seemed to have no end.

Wang Chuanjun leaned against the door frame of the dressing room and remained silent for a while after hearing the news.

"Is Director Ye playing the Joker?"

"Yes, the Joker from Batman."

Wang Chuanjun looked down at his still-present, sickly makeup and smiled.

"I play a patient in this film crew, while Director Ye is going to Hollywood to play a madman. The only thing separating me from Director Ye is a Nolan."

Tan Zhuo added from the side.

"We're still missing one Batman movie."

"I'm still missing a green card."

Zhang Yu peeked out from behind and chimed in.

"Can you guys please stop talking? The more you talk, the less I feel like Director Ye is a normal person."

When Ye Mo walked in, the noise on set automatically halved.

It's not quiet.

It was the kind of situation where everyone was secretly glancing at him, wanting to speak but not daring to be the first to say something.

Ye Mo looked around and smiled.

"Alright, what are you all looking at? I'm not wearing clown makeup."

Zhang Yu was the first to break down.

"Director Ye, I heard you're going to act in a Nolan movie? The Joker in Batman? Really?"

"Uh-huh."

"My God!" Zhang Yu slapped her thigh. "Director Ye, you're amazing! Not only are you a great actor, but you're now making your way into Hollywood! I feel like you're my role model; I'm going to hang you on my wall!"

"Why are you hanging me on the wall? I'm not dead!"

The entire set burst into laughter.

Zhang Songwen walked to Ye Mo's side, his voice very low.

"Director Ye, congratulations."

"It hasn't even been filmed yet, what's there to congratulate?"

"I'm not congratulating you on getting the role," Zhang Songwen said, looking at him. "I'm congratulating you on going from an overlooked extra to where you are today. You're now working with Nolan. Do you know what that means?"

Ye Mo didn't speak.

"This means that from now on, no one in Chinese-language films will dare to underestimate you."

Ye Mo looked at him, and after a while, reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Go film your movie, Gao Qiqiang."

"I am Cheng Yong now."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Filming of "Dying to Survive" continued as scheduled for the next few days.

Ye Mo maintained a good atmosphere on set.

When it's time to film a key scene, everyone on set is tense; when it's time to rest, everyone jokes around.

The initial shock of Nolan's visit was gradually absorbed by the daily filming rhythm.

Until that afternoon.

Sister Zhang called again.

"Ye Mo, I need to tell you something."

"What is it?"

The voting list for the 28th Magnolia Awards has been released.

Ye Mo held his phone, waiting for her to continue.

"The 'Raging Storm' received seven nominations: Best TV Series, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Art Direction." Sister Zhang's voice was steady. "You were nominated for Best Director, and Zhang Songwen was nominated for Best Actor."

Ye Mo didn't speak.

"The awards ceremony is next month, so get ready."

After Sister Zhang finished speaking, she added another sentence.

"Also, the internet exploded after the voting list was released; go see for yourself."
