When Tan Mo heard what Wei Keli meant, he knew what he wanted to say.

Tan Mo gave a professional fake smile and said, "Yes, the actors are all the original cast. All the actors and roles have been finalized, and I have written the script."

In reality, of course, it wasn’t well written.

But Wei Keli and Yuan Keqing didn't know.

She didn't need to tell them the truth.

Tan Mo really admires Wei Keli and Yuan Keqing.

I don’t know whether it’s better to say that they are thick-skinned or tactless.

He was scolded like a dog by the two elders, and he finally got their consent to stay in the old house and was not kicked out.

You should just keep a low profile.

Even now, he is in danger of being kicked out of the old house at any time, yet he is so impatient that he has set his sights on the second season of "Broken Continent".

Previously, Yuan Keqing and Xu Mingjing went to the Tan family and mentioned this matter, but were sternly rejected by their family.

He even drove Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing away in a very unfriendly manner.

Who knew that Yuan Keqing had not given up yet and came up with the idea again.

Yuan Keqing is also very persistent.

If she could use this persistence in the right way, she wouldn't be hated like she is now, and she wouldn't have to find ways to take shortcuts to get a job, which would make her even more hated.

However, Yuan Keqing probably doesn't want to work hard on the right path and just wants to take shortcuts.

When you fail to take the shortcut, you become more and more obsessed with succeeding by taking the shortcut.

Because she is already standing on the shortcut and has not reached the end yet.

She didn't want to give up and go back to the right path and try again, but she was also too lazy to go back and start over, taking that more difficult and longer path.

It’s better to keep working hard on shortcuts.

"Back when 'Broken Continent' was becoming popular, my aunt and Yuan Keqing came to our house and suggested arranging a role for Yuan Keqing in the second season. They also said they would invest in her." Tan Mo smiled and said, "But to be honest, when the first season was extremely difficult, no one was optimistic about 'Broken Continent' and no one was willing to invest. Because they were not optimistic, they were unwilling to take the risk."

"In the end, it was Kefeng who saw the script, held a meeting, and after conducting various evaluations, decided to buy it and broadcast it on the seasonal theater. Investment was also made based on the evaluation. Kefeng was the largest investor, and my family also put in some money. But even so, we couldn't film it freely. My eldest brother could only find actors whose prices were not high at the time, but whose acting skills were indeed very good."

"After reading the script, the actors all liked it and were very optimistic about it. They felt they could give it a try and take their careers to the next level through this drama. Some actors even reduced their pay because they understood the difficulties faced by the crew," Tan Mo said. "Of course, I can't say who it was. This matter is too sensitive. If it gets out to other film and television companies, they might use it to negotiate with the actors and ask them to reduce their pay. This would have a very negative impact on the actors and their market value."

"We are all family, I shouldn't have hidden it, but..." Tan Mo said bluntly, "I don't trust Yuan Keqing very much, so I won't say it in front of her. As for who the actor who reduced his pay is, my parents and I all know it."

Tan Mo did not hide anything and told everyone very directly that she trusted the two elders, Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan. They were all family members, so it didn't matter how much they said.

As for the others, it wasn't that she didn't trust them, but Yuan Keqing was there too, so she couldn't say anything.

If you feel that you are being treated differently, go find Yuan Keqing. It’s not that she doesn’t want to tell you.

Everyone: “…”

Unexpectedly, Wei Keren was very proud at this time and said complacently: "I know that too. My aunt told me a long time ago. My aunt has never treated me as an outsider."

Everyone: “…”

Even Wei Keren's biological parents, Wei Zhigong and Mu Xinzhu, were speechless about their son.

But what can we do?

After all, she is my own child. I may dislike her in my heart, but I must never say it out loud.

What's more, apart from being a little shameless, their son is pretty good in other aspects.

Moreover, even if you are shameless, you can be shameless in the right place.

Unlike Wei Keli, he is shameless and stupid, he is really hopeless.

Look at Wei Keren. Although he is shameless, he can make Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo happy.

Moreover, he is indeed very capable at work and is increasingly valued by Wei Zhiqian.

With a son like this, what does shame mean to me?

Of course, they felt that Wei Zhiqian valued Wei Keren because of Wei Keren's strong working ability, and definitely not because Wei Keren flattered Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo.

"The success of the first season was due to the actors' fearlessness of hard work and their dedication to filming. If the results weren't good, they would shoot again and again, following the crew through mountains and rivers, persevering in any difficult environment. My eldest brother saved all his salary and put it into production. He scraped together the funds and owed many favors, including the special effects costs, which were all negotiated down through favors."

"Otherwise, even if we only spent all that money on the special effects for the first season of Broken Continent, we wouldn't have been able to make it." Tan Mo smiled and said, "During such a difficult time, when no one else was optimistic about Broken Continent, you thought it wouldn't be a hit, wouldn't make you famous, and wouldn't bring you any benefits. That's why you didn't ask to appear in it, and your family didn't ask to invest."

"Of course, when it comes to investments, even though your family has never paid back the money they received from the Tan family in the past, I don't think you should have invested in Broken Continent back then. There's no right or wrong. When our family helped you before, we didn't ask for anything in return, and we didn't expect you to help us in our time of need. But, at the same time, we helped you, but we never owed you anything."

"There's no reason for us to agree to participate just because you want to. You saw the first season of 'Broken Continent' made a lot of money, and your family wanted to get a piece of the pie in the second season, making a sure-win deal. Then, you remembered that we're relatives and have always invested. Seeing the first season of 'Broken Continent' was a hit and the second season was highly anticipated, you wanted to play a role and become famous."

"There's a saying that goes, if you're not here when you're down and out, who are you when you're on the rise?" Tan Mo said with a smile, "A palm-leaf fan in winter and a cotton-padded jacket in summer are both superfluous."

"Last time, our family clearly rejected you. My brother never intended to let you participate in the show either." Tan Mo said, "You can't endure hardship, and you like to take shortcuts. You act like the director's cousin and act like a spoiled brat on the set. We can't afford it."

"I can endure hardship." Yuan Keqing said.

"Oh?" Tan Mo said, "Then why did you have to come and film our show?"
