The supporting actress becomes the leading actress: the movie queen travels through time

Chapter 157 Meeting an Investor

As soon as Su Mo entered the set, he ran into Jia Jia who was about to finish work. Jia Jia rushed over and hugged Su Mo enthusiastically, "Mo Mo, you're finally here. If you hadn't come, I would have finished shooting."

Su Mo pinched Jia Jia's waist playfully, "You're exaggerating. We have a lot of scenes together. If I don't come, how can you finish it?"

Jia Jia laughed heartily twice, then pointed to the side with his mouth, motioning Su Mo to look at the director, "The investor is here. He's very handsome."

Su Mo looked in the direction Jia Jia was going and saw a man in a suit and tie sitting next to Zhang Zhang, chatting with him about something. Both of them looked very relaxed and happy.

Just as Su Mo was about to look away, the man seemed to sense something, turned his head and looked at him, then gave a kind smile.

Su Mo smiled and nodded, but he felt for no reason that this man had bad intentions, and his body unconsciously went into protection mode.

Jia Jia leaned close to Su Mo's ear and whispered, "How is it, not bad, right? I heard from Director Zhang that he is still single, Mo Mo, seize the opportunity."

Su Mo gently pushed Jia Jia and said, "Go away, I'm here to act, not for a blind date."

As Su Mo and Jia Jia were playing around, Zhang Zhang also noticed Su Mo's arrival. He stood up and walked with the man to Su Mo, "Mo Mo, you're here. This is Liu Yi, the investor of our play."

Then Zhang Zhang introduced the man, "This is our play's heroine, Su Mo."

The man named Liu Yi took the initiative to extend his hand. "Hello, Miss Su, I have heard of your name for a long time. After meeting you today, I find that you are indeed extraordinary."

Su Mo generously extended his hand, shook it gently, and then took it back, "Hello, Mr. Liu, thank you for your support for our play, I will definitely act well."

Liu Yi smiled and asked, "Have you resolved the Weibo issue?"

Su Mo showed a puzzled expression.

Liu Yi took the initiative to explain: "I heard from Director Zhang that you will be joining the crew a few days later because of something on Weibo, so I'm asking if there's anything I can help you with?"

Su Mo looked at Liu Yi inquiringly, "It's all resolved. Thank you Mr. Liu for your concern."

Liu Yi didn't mind Su Mo's politeness. "That's good. If you need any help, just tell me."

"Thank you, Mr. Liu."

A strange atmosphere flowed around the two of them, and even someone as carefree as Jia Jia felt something was wrong.

Seeing that the two were silent, Zhang Zhang asked, "Did you know each other before?"

"I don't know him." Su Mo and Liu Yi said in unison.

"Oh..." Zhang Zhang responded awkwardly.

Su Mo didn't want to stay with Liu Yi any longer. She always felt that this man made her feel threatened, so she said first, "Director Zhang, I'm going to put on makeup first."

"Okay." Zhang Zhang was also eager to catch up with the previous progress, so he agreed immediately. After he finished speaking, he realized that the investor was still on the scene and secretly glanced at Liu Yi.

"I'll take you there." Jia Jia took the initiative to say.

"Okay." Su Mo's tone was usual relaxed, completely different from his previous conversation with Liu Yi.

Su Mo and Jia Jia walked towards the dressing room. Liu Yi's eyes followed Su Mo. Zhang Zhang stood beside them and coughed twice.

Liu Yi retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Then I won't disturb Director Zhang from filming. I'll come to visit you all when I have time."

Zhang Zhang said politely, "Mr. Liu, you are too polite. Thanks to your investment, we almost couldn't start the machine."

Liu Yi smiled, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zhang Zhang, "Then I'll take my leave first." Then he left the set.

Zhang Zhang looked at Liu Yi's back and sighed, hoping that it was not what he worried about.

Seeing that there was no one around, Jia Jia asked in a low voice: "Momo, you really don't know this Mr. Liu."

"I don't know him and I've never seen him before." Su Mo answered with certainty.

"It's so strange. It feels like he's particularly enthusiastic towards you. When Director Zhang introduced him to us earlier, he was indifferent. Could it be that..."

Su Mo also felt strange in his heart, but was afraid that he was overthinking, so he flicked Jia Jia's forehead with his hand and said, "What are you thinking about? Maybe because I am the heroine, he pays more attention to me."

"That's true. How could a small company like us possibly attract the attention of investors?" Jia Jia said with a hint of disappointment in his tone.

"What's wrong?" Su Mo asked with concern.

"Alas, not being famous is a sin. I was a regular on the show Big vs. Big, and they found a new star to replace me in the new season. I'm unemployed again."

"How could that be? I've watched this variety show. The atmosphere is all up to you. The audience really likes your style." Su Mo was puzzled. She didn't think that the newcomers who came out of nowhere could handle the atmosphere and rhythm of the variety show well. After all, this was a group variety show and the old guests were already familiar with each other.

"There's a newcomer in Jia Opera, her name is Yingying. They say she's more popular. I've participated in seven seasons, and every time I was the first to arrive and the last to leave. I didn't expect that in the eighth season, I would be replaced for this very reason. Just because I'm not popular." Jia Jia lowered his head, looking at the road under his feet, with a hint of grievance in his tone.

Su Mo hugged Jia Jia's shoulders and comforted him, "Don't be sad. When the movie is released, they won't have a chance to invite you. There will be plenty of shows for you to choose from."

"Really?" Jia Jia was obviously attracted by what Su Mo said and looked at Su Mo eagerly.

"Of course. You take everything so seriously. Your efforts will definitely be rewarded."

"Yes." Jia Jia nodded vigorously. "I will go back and think about the following scenes carefully. Tomorrow, there will be a conflict between you and me. I must not lose too much. The dressing room is over there." After Jia Jia finished speaking, he pointed with his hand, as if he was going to leave in the next second.

Su Mo was embarrassed, "It's not that serious..."

"Don't worry." Jia Jia clenched his right fist and made a "come on" gesture, "I will definitely shout out my best and perform at a high level. I'm leaving first. Bye, Momo."

Su Mo looked at Jia Jia's back as she left and smiled knowingly. Jia Jia was like a little sun, bringing infinite energy to those around her. Even if she was depressed sometimes, she could light up again as long as she was given a little light.

Su Mo turned and walked towards the dressing room.

Not long after Su Mo left, the crew welcomed a newcomer to play a new role added to the script.

"Sister Li, there's only a small part to play. What's so good about it?"

"Little aunt, this is the only requirement that the company asks you to get a role in a variety show, so stop complaining."

"Then help me book a new hotel. I don't want to stay with those people. Let them take advantage of my popularity."

"Okay, okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
