Chapter 358 Pretending to be Innocent
Something is wrong...
Director Zhang secretly observed Liu Yunshan and Xiang Nuan, smacking his lips.
"Could it be that the boss has gone insane?" Xiaoya nudged Xiaojun and whispered quietly.
"Let's record the video quickly. With so many little ancestors gathered together, it's like a pair of explosive packs colliding with each other." Xiaojun gritted his teeth and thought, why bother staying up late to work on a plan? The scene was exciting enough.
"Isn't this what the boss is after? It's so good now. Isn't it more natural to escalate conflicts with something purely natural and additive-free than something we have to think hard about and make up?!"
Xiaoya said it lightly, but Xiaojun was full of grievances. Don't provoke the director anymore, or he will have to work overtime to come up with a plan if he gets any inspiration.
"Hello, Aunt Jiang." A cute little girl came up to Xiang Nuan timidly. She was a baby participating in the second season of the show. She looked only about 3 years old and was as adorable as a lotus root dumpling.
Xiang Nuan was slightly startled. It was the first time someone called her "Aunt Jiang". This little darling might have mistakenly thought her last name was Jiang because people always called her "Mrs. Jiang". But what did it matter? It was just a name.
She squatted down and smiled sweetly: "Hello, baby. Let me guess, your name is Tiantian, right?"
The little girl opened her eyes wide and was stunned for a moment before she giggled, "No!"
"That's not right? You're so sweet, how can you not be called Tiantian?!" Xiang Nuan said exaggeratedly.
"It also means sweet." The little girl tilted her head, her bright big eyes were like two candy beans.
"I know," Jiang Ranran jumped out, "Call me Tangtang!"
“That’s right!”
Jiang Ranran didn't expect that she had guessed it right, and she jumped happily while pulling Tangtang.
"Brother Ranran is so smart! Brave and smart!"
Tangtang's little mouth was also smeared with honey, and Ranran became more and more excited.
"Come on, I'll take you to meet the others."
The chivalrous spirit of the young man who had just protected the girl could no longer be suppressed, and Ran Ran now transformed into a warm-hearted big brother. Xiang Nuan did not admire Jiang Ran Ran the most, but admired him even more. The two of them were evenly matched in terms of social skills.
"Don't you want to give Ranran a little sister?" Liu Yunshan gently bumped into her shoulder.
"Is this even necessary?" Xiang Nuan tried to hold back her laughter.
"Then you'd better be careful. In the future, Ranran will have sisters everywhere. What will you do?" Liu Yunshan did not miss any opportunity to squeeze her.
"What are you afraid of? Are you worried that you won't be able to take a full view of the whole family photo?"
“You are…”
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Jiang. Tangtang is too young to know the name. Please don't mind." Tangtang's mother is also a very delicate woman. Although she also changed into casual clothes, it was obvious that she was wearing expensive brand-name clothes. Xiang Nuan wondered if she was a full-time housewife, but she was ashamed that she had such a worldly prejudice.
"Just a name." She responded with a faint smile.
"I have seen your art exhibition and I particularly like your creativity."
Liu Yunshan finally reacted and interrupted, "Tangtang's mom is also a designer, right? You are a designer..."
"Advertising, mainly print advertising. So Designer Xiang and I are half in the same industry." She immediately changed her words to Designer Xiang, which brought her closer to Xiang Nuan.
"So the mothers Director Zhang invited in the second season are all career-oriented?" Xiang Nuan didn't want the topic to revolve around her, so she changed the subject secretly: "I seemed to see a pregnant woman when I entered the room just now? Did they really invite an expectant mother?" She looked around as she spoke.
"Yes, we just got to know each other today. The program crew's ideas are really avant-garde." Tangtang's mother replied.
Liu Yunshan gently pulled Xiang Nuan's sleeve, obviously there was something hidden. Just then Xiaojun came over and asked everyone to start recording the video, and they stopped chatting.
"What? Your people?" Xiang Nuan asked Liu Yunshan as they walked.
"I guess so. I recommended her. She's a new actress and she got pregnant before marriage. It's a good opportunity for her to show her face." Liu Yunshan did not avoid admitting it generously.
"You're a good boss. You seized the opportunity well."
"I can't help it. I have to worry more now than before. It's better to be an actor freely."
"Stop being so pretentious."
Xiang Nuan rolled her eyes at her, and turned around to see the pregnant woman. She looked to be in her early twenties, at the prime of her life. It was a coincidence that she was able to attend this program. Otherwise, if she had a child at such a young age, it would have been more difficult for her to develop in the entertainment industry in the future.
"Everyone knew her as soon as she appeared on the show. Will it have no impact on her future development?" Xiang Nuan couldn't help asking.
Liu Yunshan pushed her and said angrily, "Are you pretending to be naive?"
Huh? Xiang Nuan was stunned for a moment.
"Miss Liu, please sit in the middle. You are the person who connects the first and second seasons." Xiaoya came over and took Liu Yunshan away, leaving Xiang Nuan still in shock.
Naive? Am I wrong? Where is the father of the child? Will he be found out? Will the child be looked at by others after he is born? Will this girl start a new relationship in her future career and life? Are these not important?
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Jiayu brought her back to her senses.
"I wonder if I'm getting old," she sighed.
Chen Jiayu was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Are you thinking back to when you first became a mother? If you were asked to participate in a youth romance variety show, wouldn't you still be reminiscing about the past?!"
Reminiscing about the past? Haha, think about the past life. She was still a single girl, with her hands in her pockets, and she didn’t know what love was…
"We mainly tell the second season's guests about interesting things and anecdotes from the show from the perspective of experienced people." Xiaoya explained the content of the recording to the "old people" and said, "Let them speak freely, the more natural the better."
Interesting things? And speak freely? Everyone looked at each other and suddenly they understood each other.
"There are so many tricks, all set up by the production team."
"We were always asked to choose a room, either the shabbiest one or one in the wild."
"Director uncle really likes to rank things, and it's really miserable to be at the end."
“All kinds of dirty work and impossible tasks.”
My goodness, the production crew was almost petrified on the spot. How did sharing harvest and joy turn into a rant conference in a second?! Looking at a few new families, they were listening attentively, almost taking out a small notebook to write down the key points.
"Is it so scary? We thought it was okay when we watched the show."
“So the audience’s joy is the guests’ tears?”
"What are the common routines used by the director team? Tell us more about it."
…
"No, that's not right!" Director Zhang cleared his throat and stood between the two groups of people as if trying to mediate a quarrel. "Our program is called This is My Mom. It's an inspirational and heartwarming program about parent-child relationships, family affection, growth, understanding, and maternal love. Our direction will ultimately focus on love and understanding, and of course, the growth of women in the new era. Do you understand?"
Director Zhang looked around the audience eagerly, wishing he could personally demonstrate positive energy.
"I think the theme of the first season is a bit too conservative," the expectant mother suddenly said, "Who says that after giving birth, a woman is only labeled as a 'mother'? I came to participate in the second season to seek different answers. I want to know what kind of changes and breakthroughs this identity of a mother can bring to me, as a person."
The whole place fell silent after the speech, which was full of the flavor of the new generation, was finished. I wonder if all the mothers were lost in thought or reflection.
Xiang Nuan glanced at Liu Yunshan and met her gaze. At that moment, she suddenly understood why she said she was pretending to be naive.
