Because of financial constraints, Chen Mo did not immediately ask Xie Lan to contact those long-established action stars, and they were not particularly suitable in terms of age. Although he can make up for it with his makeup and acting skills, he still believes that actors of whatever age group can play the best roles.
The first stop for the two of them was Yancheng, which has the best martial arts school in the Yan Kingdom.
But before going to the martial arts school, Chen Mo first went to the director's house to sign a cooperation contract, and he and Jiang Chunian really didn't get drunk at night.
That night, we spent time directly in the private room of the bar.
The next day, in order to sober up, Chen Mo walked with Xie Lan on the street with his head in a daze. Anyway, it was not far from Yancheng Martial Arts School.
The two of them didn't realize that there was a sneaky person hanging behind them.
When they turned into a slightly deserted street, the man wearing a hat behind them suddenly ran forward. When he passed by Xie Lan, he very skillfully snatched the satchel from her shoulder.
When the two of them came to their senses, the other party was already ten meters away.
"Sister Lan, just wait, I'll chase after you..." Chen Mo ran forward crookedly, not forgetting to remind Xie Lan. As a result, the distance between him and that person became further and further away.
Just when Xie Lan hesitated to shout at the top of her voice, a figure rushed out from behind her again.
In such weather, the man behind was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of thin sweatpants. He surpassed Chen Mo in the blink of an eye.
"Oh! Am I getting old?"
Seeing someone chasing him, Chen Mo slowly stopped. Looking at the swift figure in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.
Xie Lan came up and patted his arm: "Don't worry about whether you are old or not. Look carefully. This young man seems to be extraordinary!"
"Well, it's unusual. It can run faster than a rabbit."
"You haven't sobered up yet? What I'm talking about is his movements. Take a closer look. It doesn't look like he specializes in running. He feels like he has martial arts skills on him."
After Xie Lan reminded him, Chen Mo was completely sober.
He looked at the figure getting further and further away, and found that the person who was helping the pursuer had a very good balance, and his jumping ability was also excellent. He was definitely someone with martial arts skills.
"Sister Lan, come here slowly, I'll catch up and take a look."
This time, Chen Mo seemed to have taken a powerful pill, swinging his legs like Nezha's Hot Wheels in Journey to the West, and ran away in a flash.
Even with the blessing of demand, when he caught up, it was all over.
I saw that the person who grabbed the bag was stepped on the ground by the person behind him. No matter how much he struggled, it was to no avail, as if he was firmly nailed to the ground.
"Thank you friend, thank you very much!"
Taking the satchel from the other party, Chen Mo thanked him repeatedly.
The other party just nodded lightly: "It's okay, that's your sister, right? Be careful next time you carry a bag, and don't leave your hands off the bag."
"Well, we'll pay attention next time."
Just when Chen Mo wanted to say something else, the other party had already turned around and left.
When Xie Lan rushed over, he had already disappeared. She quickly asked: "Where is the person? Isn't this the actor we need to find?"
"He's gone, but I think he must be a student of the martial arts school!"
After handing the bag to Xie Lan, Chen Mo's eyes flashed.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at Yancheng Martial Arts School. After explaining their intention to the principal, they did not expect that the other party flatly refused.
"The students in our martial arts school will win glory for the country in the future. I don't want these children to be burdened by fame and fortune prematurely!"
This irrefutable reason prevented Chen Mo and Xie Lan from saying another word in the end, and they left the martial arts school in despair.
Although he didn't quite agree with the principal's approach, they couldn't stand to leave because they refused so decisively.
It was just a bit disappointing not to be able to see the person who helped them before.
"What should we do? They blocked the road for us with just one word!"
"What can we do? Yancheng is not the only martial arts school in the country, and the principal's will cannot represent the will of every student. Let's take a walk around it first."
Chen Mo spread his hands. Before coming, he really didn't expect that the school would reject it without hesitation.
So the two of them wandered around the martial arts school. When they saw a noodle shop, Chen Mo rubbed his belly and said, "Sister Lan, go have a bowl of noodles. I haven't had breakfast yet!"
"Yes! Who told you and Jiang Chunian to drink so much?"
Xie Lan laughed, but still walked towards the noodle shop first. Because she had eaten breakfast, she only ordered a bowl of noodles.
After paying the money, Chen Mo just picked up his chopsticks and was about to eat a big one, but was interrupted by the former: "Stop eating, look at that person, does he look like the person who helped us recover the bag before?"
Without waiting for Chen Mo to respond, Xie Lan stood up and chased after him.
Chen Mo looked at the fragrant noodles in front of him eagerly, swallowed, and got up to catch up.
"Is it you? Do you have anything else to do with me?" After seeing the appearance of the two of them clearly, the man suddenly became vigilant, "Let's make a deal first. I will give the bag to you when I catch you. I haven't opened it yet." Nothing inside was taken.”
Both of them were stunned by the other's sudden words, and it took a few seconds to come to their senses.
Chen Mo waved his hand with a smile: "No, my friend, you have misunderstood. We are not here to trouble you. My name is Chen Mo, haven't you asked me for advice?"
"You can just call me Xiaolong."
Xiaolong was visibly relieved when he heard that he was not causing trouble.
At this moment, Chen Mo carefully looked at the other party and the large gas tank placed at his feet, and then asked: "Isn't Brother Xiaolong a student of Yancheng Martial Arts School?"
"No, how could I possibly afford to go to a school like that? I haven't gone to school since I was sixteen."
Sixteen years old, which means that the other party has not even finished high school!
Looking at Xiaolong who had changed his clothes, Chen Mo roughly guessed something in his mind: "Did any relatives at home encounter any big trouble? So..."
"Who are you, and why are you asking these questions?"
At this moment, Xiaolong became alert again, and his eyes changed from indifferent to sharp.
Feeling that if he said the wrong thing, he would be beaten up, Chen Mo quickly explained: "Brother Xiaolong, don't get me wrong, I am the boss of an entertainment company, and I came to Yancheng this time to find action actors for TV series. In the morning ……this is my name card."
"Chen Mo, Chairman of Xingluo Entertainment!"
After taking the business card, Xiaolong read softly.
After confirming Chen Mo's identity, he lowered his guard again and showed an awkward and naive smile: "I'm sorry, I thought you were... I'm really sorry."
"It's okay, we just need to clear up the misunderstanding."
Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then patted the other party's shoulder: "By the way, it's almost noon. Brother Xiaolong, let's go have lunch first and talk about filming."
"Filming? This...Boss Chen, are you talking about me?"
