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

"Open it," Ye Mo thought to himself.

System: "Okay."

The notebook unfolded in his mind.

"put all one's eggs in one basket".

As soon as those four words were uttered, Ye Mo understood.

This story is about a group of young people who were tricked into going abroad, locked up in a fraud factory, and forced to use their phones to scam their own people.

Programmer Pan Sheng, model Liang Anna, and fraud boss Manager Lu.

Human lives are trapped in this industrial park, unable to escape.

The more Ye Mo read, the more he felt that this script was a perfect match for anti-fraud propaganda.

They didn't shout slogans or put up banners; they just filmed how people were tricked into going there and how they narrowly escaped death.

It's more stern than any preaching.

Ye Mo especially remembers one line: "To succeed, you must first go crazy!"

This is definitely a typical anti-fraud theme.

That evening, Ye Mo listed the cast.

Pan Sheng, the first person that popped into his mind was Zhang Yixing.

Manager Lu, he has decided on Wang Chuanjun.

He wrote down the remaining names—Liang Anna, Zhao Dongran, A Cai, A Tian, ​​and Xiao Yu—according to the configuration in the notebook.

Ye Mo sent the list to Sister Zhang.

"Sister Zhang, it's a new project, an anti-fraud film. The Ministry of Public Security facilitated it."

"Apart from Wang Chuanjun and Zhang Yixing, you can negotiate with the rest of the people on the list."

"You oversee the scheduling, the salary, and the contract."

Sister Zhang replied with a string of question marks.

"Ye Mo, you've taken on another job behind my back?"

Ye Mo sent a smiley face.

"The leader personally nominated me; I couldn't refuse."

Hearing this, Sister Zhang was shocked.

He's gotten in touch with the boss again; typical director stuff.

Sister Zhang: "Okay, I'll take care of it right away. Wang Chuanjun and Zhang Yixing, you handle it yourselves?"

Ye Mo: "Yes, I'll handle these two myself."

Ye Mo dialed Zhang Yixing's number first.

It rang twice, and then the other end answered.

"Brother Ye Mo?" Zhang Yixing's voice was filled with disbelief.

Ye Mo's current position in the industry is very clear to him.

Ye Mo usually doesn't call him.

Ye Mo would only ask a couple of questions when they visited the set or something like that.

"It's me." Ye Mo smiled. "Yixing, have you been busy lately?"

"It's alright, I just finished recording the show and am on my way back to the hotel," Zhang Yixing answered honestly.

"I have a movie here, and I'd like you to play the male lead," Ye Mo said directly.

There was a three-second silence on the other end of the phone.

"Brother Ye Mo, are you... are you serious?" Zhang Yixing's voice trembled.

"Really, it's an anti-fraud drama, the male lead is a programmer named Pan Sheng," Ye Mo said. "After thinking it over, you're the most suitable person for this role."

Zhang Yixing didn't say anything.

Ye Mo heard a very soft inhalation from the other end of the line.

After a few seconds, Zhang Yixing finally spoke.

"Brother Ye Mo, I won't lie to you, I've been waiting for this opportunity all this time."

"I'm on variety shows every day, dancing and singing; people call me a variety show personality."

"But I know myself, I want to act, I want to be a real actor."

"No one has ever dared to hire me."

Ye Mo could hear the resentment in his words.

He had thought about Zhang Yixing seriously before choosing him.

Zhang Yixing is known in the industry for being honest and straightforward, without many hidden agendas.

He stood there, his eyes clear, with a seriousness that hadn't been worn away.

Pan Sheng's early appearance was exactly like this naivety.

A programmer who thought he could turn his life around with his skills, only to fall into a trap.

For this kind of character, the audience has to believe him first, and then feel sorry for him when he gets tricked into something.

Zhang Yixing's energy is just right.

"Brother Ye Mo, trust me, I will definitely act well," Zhang Yixing said.

"I know," Ye Mo said, "but let me be clear from the start, this drama is different from variety shows. It requires hard work, takes a long time to film, and we might have to spend some time away from home."

"I'm not afraid," Zhang Yixing answered quickly. "When I was a trainee, I only slept three hours a day, and I still made it through."

Ye Mo smiled.

"Okay, the role is yours then. I'll have Sister Zhang send you the script and contract."

"Thank you, Brother Ye Mo!" Zhang Yixing's voice rose. "I...I really, really thank you."

"What are you saying! Don't forget, I'm also a member of the men's gang."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Mo walked towards the film set.

The final scenes of "Dying to Survive" are still being filmed.

Wang Chuanjun is currently waiting on set.

Ye Mo called him aside.

"Chuanjun, come here, I need to talk to you about something."

Wang Chuanjun jogged over, thinking that something had gone wrong during a scene.

"Director Ye, what's wrong?"

"The next movie has been decided," Ye Mo said. "It's an anti-fraud film, spearheaded by the Ministry of Public Security. There's a role in it that I'd like you to play."

Wang Chuanjun was taken aback.

"I?"

"You'll play Manager Lu, the head of the fraudulent factory, the main villain," Ye Mo said.

Wang Chuanjun's eyes gradually brightened.

"Director Ye, I've only been with the company for a short time, and I haven't even earned a single penny yet. And you're already giving me such a big role?"

"You've already proven yourself with Lu Shouyi in 'Dying to Survive,'" Ye Mo said. "This Manager Lu will give you even more excitement."

Wang Chuanjun rubbed his hands together and spun around in place for a short while.

"Director Ye, don't worry, I'll do my best to play this role well."

"Don't rush into anything," Ye Mo said. "Go back and finish your homework first."

"This Manager Lu is someone who sends chills down your spine at first glance; you need to thoroughly understand him."

Wang Chuanjun nodded vigorously, like he was pounding garlic.

Ye Mo added another sentence.

"I'll send you the script and materials later. If you need to research case studies or obtain materials requiring official cooperation, you'll have to figure that out yourself."

Wang Chuanjun was taken aback.

"Director Ye, you've even gotten in touch with the official channels?"

Ye Mo did not deny it, but simply nodded.

"The Ministry of Public Security's anti-fraud department acted as a liaison, and later, when filming, they were able to leverage their expertise with real cases and real police officers."

Wang Chuanjun stood there, silent for a long time.

He swallowed hard before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence.

"Director Ye, your background is incredibly well-hidden."

Ye Mo smiled.

"They came to us first."

Wang Chuanjun didn't say anything more, but his chest tightened.

He had only been with Ye Mo's company for a short time.

Before the movie "Dying to Survive" even aired and before he became famous, another big role came his way.

There's also a project with official backing standing behind it.

In the past, he wouldn't have dared to even think about such a thing.

All I can say is that Director Ye is awesome.

This couldn't be kept secret.

After Ye Mo left, Wang Chuanjun couldn't keep his mouth shut and let it slip to a few acquaintances in the crew.

The news spread like wildfire, within half a day.

Tan Zhuo was touching up her makeup when she heard it.

"What? Wang Chuanjun has landed another big role? And it's a project for the Ministry of Public Security?"

"He's about to take off."

Tan Zhuo said this, but in his heart he was envious.

She is now playing Liu Sihui in the movie "Dying to Survive".

But she has no idea where her next role will be.

Wang Chuanjun signed Ye Mo, followed by Lü Shouyi and then Manager Lu.

One is an important supporting character, and the other is a project of the Ministry of Public Security.

Each character is more important than the last.

Who wouldn't be envious of such a path to instant success?

Zhou Yiwei chimed in from the side.

"It seems the general has met a benefactor."

"Director Ye, once he sets his mind on someone, he'll go all out to praise them."

Tan Zhuo smiled but didn't reply.

you do not say!

Zhang Songwen became famous because of Gao Qiqiang.

Next up is a male protagonist.

She estimated that it would become a huge hit after the movie "Dying to Survive" was released.

He went straight from being an extra to becoming a top-tier actor.

I'm so envious!
