Chapter 154 Other People's Children
Song Zhiyuan hugged Tao Ran's arm and acted coquettishly, "Mommy, this is the result of my careful consideration. I don't want to ruin your first leading work because of me."
Seeing that his daughter was really not interested, Tao Ran did not force her. He looked at his son and asked, "Would you like to consider it?"
"Don't consider it. You and my dad producing movies is a position that is beyond my reach. If something goes wrong, you will blame me." Song Zhiwei shook his head and refused while eating fruit.
Song Zhiwei's dream is still to become an excellent singer. He will not develop in the film and television industry unless it is absolutely necessary. In order to escape reality, he asked Luo Cheng to help him take on several small-scale movies.
Now Song Zhiwei has thought it through. He still wants to continue developing in the direction of a singer. If his voice is not in good condition, he can turn to behind-the-scenes work and write songs for others.
After being rejected by both her son and daughter, Tao Ran opened a public casting call.
For the movie "The Prideful Sun", Tao Ran and Shen Jingmo have already publicly announced their partnership. Both were present at the casting scene. In addition, Song Zhiwei also came to join in the fun.
Lest that bastard Shen Jingmo play any tricks in front of Ms. Tao.
The partnership of two young people who won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards has attracted a lot of attention from people in the circle.
Like Shen Jingmo, Tao Ran also became famous at a young age. At the age of 24, she won three major awards for her superb acting skills. At the best time of her career, Tao Ran chose to get married and have children.
After three years of fading from the entertainment industry, Tao Ran made a comeback and her box office performance remains the same. However, as she gets older, she is rarely seen on the screen.
Tao Ran gradually turned to behind-the-scenes film production.
"The Prideful Sun" is a rural-themed film, more suitable for awards, but with Shen Jingmo and Tao Ran in it, there is no need to worry about the box office.
The male and female protagonists of the movie have already been chosen, and they are veteran actors in the circle. Today, they are choosing marginal roles, with the team of Shen Jingmo and Tao Ran. Even for marginal roles, there are many artists in the circle who come to interview.
The two producers have very high requirements for small roles.
Several groups of people have been eliminated in succession.
After this group of people left, the assistant opened the door and called another group of people waiting for the interview.
There were many people coming for the interview. In order to save time, Shen Jingmo asked the interviewees to come in for the interview in groups of ten.
Lin Jianing, who was walking in the front row, just entered the room and saw Song Zhiwei sitting next to Tao Ran with his legs crossed and spinning a pen. A fleeting look of surprise flashed across Lin Jianing's face.
How come Song Zhiwei is at the interview? I have never heard of him. What role does Song Zhiwei play in "The Prideful Sun"?
Could it be an airborne attack?
It’s probably not that easy to sit next to the interviewer.
Lin Jianing didn't dare to think too much, and quickly calmed down and responded to the interviewer's questions.
Chen Jingmo glanced at everyone calmly, "Let's perform the fourth scene in turn."
Lin Jianing's agent had already informed her of the audition, and she had studied the script carefully. As a result, she performed better than the other actors in the group during the audition. After the audition, Lin Jianing bowed deeply to Tao Ran and flattered him, saying, "I grew up watching Teacher Tao's movies. Teacher Tao is my idol. I have always dreamed of having the opportunity to study and work with Teacher Tao. I hope Teacher Tao will give me a chance."
Tao Ran has been in this circle for more than 20 years and has heard this kind of talk a lot.
Tao Ran took out Lin Jianing's data and took another look at it. Although she was the best actor in the same batch, her acting was a little deliberate and stiff.
"Lin Jianing, right?" Tao Ran looked Lin Jianing up and down.
Hearing this, Lin Jianing smiled and nodded, "Yes, Teacher Tao."
"Your acting is not bad. We will notify your agent after the selection results come out." Tao Ran didn't want to discourage the enthusiasm of the newcomer.
Originally, when Lin Jianing saw Chen Jingmo and Song Zhiwei, she was a little worried. After all, when they were on the show before, Chen Jingmo always ignored her and even turned a blind eye to her attempts to show goodwill.
I didn't expect that Tao Ran would treat her differently. It turns out that female artists are easier to get along with.
"Thank you for the compliment, Teacher Tao. I will definitely continue to hone my acting skills." Lin Jianing happily left the interview room.
Tao Ran felt his pocket and searched his bag anxiously, but couldn't find the USB drive.
Shen Jingmo keenly noticed that Tao Ran was unusual and asked caringly, "Auntie Tao, what are you looking for?"
"I put some important information in a USB drive yesterday, but I must have forgotten it at home." Tao Ran called Song Zhiyuan.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered. "Baby, go to the study and see if there is a USB drive."
Song Zhiyuan had a rare day off at home today, so she walked upstairs from the back garden to Tao Ran's study.
Tao Ran had very high standards for the script. She had been revising it over and over again recently, leaving her desk covered in a mess of draft papers. Song Zhiyuan flipped through the bottom of the pile to find the USB drive Tao Ran was looking for. "I found it, Mommy. Do you want me to send it to you?"
"I'd love to have my baby come here. Come here, mommy will treat you to a delicious meal." Tao Ran blew a kiss to the phone.
Unlike Song Jin's doting, Tao Ran treats his children more like friends.
Song Zhiwei, who was watching silently at the scene, suddenly became unhappy. "My sister is so busy. If I come here, it might delay her work. How about I go back and get it for you?"
If he lets his sister come over, wouldn't that increase the chances of his sister meeting that bastard Shen Jingmo?
He knew that the cooperation between Shen Jingmo and Tao Ran was definitely not a good thing. No wonder his eyelids kept twitching when he woke up in the morning.
"You can't drive, so don't waste your time." Tao Ran retorted.
Song Zhiwei's expression suddenly darkened, as if he was being criticized for not being able to drive.
When Tao Ran finished her interview, Song Zhiyuan happened to come over and knocked on the closed door. "Ms. Tao, did I disturb you at work?"
In front of outsiders, Tao Ran likes to let her children call her by her full name, so that she can look younger.
"Just finished." Tao Ran tidied up the interviewee information on the desk and handed it to his assistant.
Shen Jingmo took the initiative to stand up and greet Song Zhiyuan, "Hello, Professor Song."
"Hello, Mr. Shen." Song Zhiyuan nodded with a smile and handed the USB drive to Tao Ran.
Tao Ran naturally took Song Zhiyuan's arm, and the two of them stood together, looking more like best friends than mother and daughter. "Do you two want to come together?"
Before Chen Jingmo could speak, Song Zhiwei spoke first, "Chen Jingmo is busy, you and your sister can go. It's not convenient for two grown men to follow you."
"How do you know Jing Mo is not free?" Tao Ran looked at Song Zhiwei suspiciously.
"I'm busy making movies and investing, of course I don't have time." Song Zhiwei explained perfunctorily.
Chen Jingmo followed Song Zhiwei's words and said, "I do have some things to deal with here. Aunt Tao and Professor Song, please go. I will invite Aunt Tao and Professor Song another day."
"Look at how sensible Jing Mo is. You should learn from him in the future." Tao Ran used his eyes to warn his son.
Don't think she didn't see the little moves between the two.
Song Zhiwei responded perfunctorily.
Why do I feel like I've been cheated by this little green tea again?
