Chapter 850 Another Set of Tricks

“Actually, if you can endure hardships, you can act in many films,” Tan Mo said with a smile. “Why must you endure hardships in my brother’s films?
“It’s said that the acting industry is difficult and there are not many films available. But in reality, there are no good films, and there are no good main characters available. If you were to film an ordinary main character, or if you were to start from a supporting role in an ordinary film, there would still be films available,” said Tan Mo. “I know this better than you. After all, I’m considered to be working in this industry, and I have a brother who is a director. I still know about this little thing.
“It’s just that you don’t like to go to those. You feel that those dramas are too transparent. Not only will you not be famous even if you act in them, but you will also have to suffer so much. You can only be a small supporting role. There are only a few scenes. You’re ambitious. You want to take the leading role. At the very least, you want to be the second female lead. You want to become famous with just one film. You will have unlimited glory,” Tan Mo said indifferently.
Of course, Yuan Keqing thought so, but she certainly could not admit it.
“I have never thought of it that way!” Yuan Keqing said quickly. “I can endure hardships, and I don’t care about the importance of the role. I don’t have to be a female lead. I don’t have to be the second female lead.”
After Yuan Keqing finished speaking, she felt that she shouldn’t have made it too rigidly. Thus she said, “Of course, it’s the best if such roles are available. Who doesn’t want to be the female lead or the second female lead who has more scenes? But if not, I’m willing to play less important roles. I know that Broken Continent is skewed toward groups than an individual. Of course, the male and female lead scenes will definitely be more. But I don’t care about that. If you give me a small role, I’ll also take it.
“I’m willing to go for an audition. Just like other actors, I’ll let Eldest Brother take a look at the audition,” Yuan Keqing covered her chest with her hands and tried her best to stretch her neck. She leaned forward, fully showing her eagerness, “I’ll definitely perform
well.”
“You mean, you don’t expect Eldest Brother to give you special treatment, and he’ll treat you equally with others and you will compete with other competitors? Even if you’re not selected, it doesn’t matter?” Tan Mo raised his eyebrows and asked.
Yuan Keqing was thinking that how could it not matter, but she still nodded seriously, “Yes, I only want a chance to participate in the audition.”
Yuan Keqing slightly lowered her head and carefully said, “It can’t be because I’m Eldest Brother’s cousin and he doesn’t want to give me a special treatment that I lose the opportunity to compete fairly with others.”
“But the roles have all been decided. It’s the original team. Even if there’s a new role, it has already been chosen,” said Tan Mo. “Since the roles have already been decided, without a convincing reason, it would be difficult to change them at will. They didn’t do anything wrong. It’s not that their acting skills aren’t up to the standard. They can’t just change people’s roles just because you want to participate, right?
“Moreover, since you’re willing to go for an audition and compete with others, and you don’t want any special treatment, why must you act in my eldest brother’s film?” Tan Mo narrowed her eyes. “Even if it’s another film, it’s fine. If you’re not afraid of hardships and don’t mind playing small roles, then you’ll have the ability to compete in any production team.”
Yuan Keqing was stunned.
She was careless.
When Tan Mo asked her questions, she only cared about showing she could endure hardships in front of the elders, not wanting to take advantage of Tan Jinqi. In the end, she fell into her trap without thinking carefully about Tan Mo’s words.
“But, isn’t it the same whether it’s the other crew or your eldest brother’s crew? Let Keqing go to your eldest brother’s crew and they take care of each other,” said Li Xiangrong. “I’m not saying that I want to give Keqing any special care. It’s just that we’re all on the same side. Can’t we be more at ease?”
Tan Mo raised her eyebrows. She remembered that Li Xiangrong used to hate Yuan Keqing very much. How could she help Yuan Keqing to talk nonsense now?
It was quite amazing. However, when she thought about it, she felt that since Yuan Keqing was Li Xiangrong’s future daughter-in-law, it was not surprising that Li Xiangrong had changed her attitude toward Yuan Keqing.
“Second Sister-in-Law, as you said, it’s the same whether it’s another crew or my eldest brother’s crew. Yuan Keqing doesn’t have to struggle and insist on joining my eldest brother’s crew,” said Tan Mo. “Moreover, all the actors in my eldest brother’s crew have been recruited, and there’s no role for Yuan Keqing. The original cast of the first season has already called to ask about the schedule before the second season starts. They don’t need precise timing. They only need an approximate time to book their schedule. Everything will be done to suit the filming of the second season of Broken Continent.
“They’ve specially set aside time for this film. We can’t replace any of them just because of this favor. There weren’t many new roles. At most, there would be extras with no lines. The extras registered near the film studio will be responsible for this role,” said Tan Mo.
How could Yuan Keqing be interested in such a role?
“Those who have lines are all actors from the previous season. As the framework is big, there wasn’t much filming in the previous season. This season, there aren’t many new actors. A few of them have already been confirmed and signed the contracts,” said Tan Mo. “Don’t say anything about breaking the contract. You or the Tan family will pay the penalty. “This is not a matter of money, but a matter of credibility.” Tan Mo’s moral shackles were placed on Yuan Keqing’s head. “I think that cousin would not be willing for my eldest brother to break his promise because of you. After all, for Eldest Brother to break his promise to others is a matter of reputation.” Yuan Keqing didn’t expect Tan Mo to label her now.
Since when did Tan Mo have such a trick up her sleeve!
“Momo is right,” said Old Madam.
Everyone couldn’t help but doubt. Did Old Madam think Tan Mo was always right no matter what Tan Mo said?
But Wei Zhiqian, Wei Mingwen, and Xiao Menghan were different.
They didn’t have such doubts.
As there was no need to doubt at all.
Wasn’t this the truth?
Of course, Tan Mo was right!
She didn’t say anything wrong!
Of course, she couldn’t agree more.
“Besides, we are in-laws with the Tan family. Whether the in-laws do well or not will also affect us. If they don’t do well, others will say ‘Look, this is the in-laws of the Wei family!”” said Old Madam. “Isn’t it bad to let people talk about negative things like this?”
Everyone nodded. Old Madam was not biased toward Tan Mo.
Indeed.
If the Tan family lost face, the Wei family would also be talked about by others.
Therefore, the Wei family also cared about the in-laws.
This was a relationship that would bring both prosperity and losses. “Therefore, the Yuan family also needs to be cautious,” Old Madam said to Wei Zhijian and Li Xiangrong.
