Chapter 153 That's it [VIP]
Chapter Summary: The captions for WeChat Moments are only four simple words.
Mu Zhi rarely checks her WeChat Moments.
In reality, most celebrities are just like ordinary people in private. During the Lunar New Year, they simply post a picture of a meal or a heavily edited photo of themselves, wishing everyone a happy new year.
To prevent malicious individuals from taking content from WeChat Moments and making a fuss about it on other social media platforms.
People tend to manage their WeChat Moments almost like their social media accounts, and very few celebrities show their real, vibrant side.
Mu Zhi knew that Minmin liked to gossip, but Minmin never mentioned the celebrities she met in real life online.
When asked about Minmin's request, Muzhi thought for a moment and smiled slyly: "You can only see one person's request, if I have their WeChat, and if they post something on their Moments tonight."
Minmin: "!!!" Her brain was working at lightning speed.
Many celebrities' names flashed through her mind, but she rejected them one by one.
Finally, considering everything that happened today, Minmin's eyes lit up, and a burning passion for gossip ignited in her heart.
"Sister Zhizhi, can we take a look at what the boss posted on WeChat Moments today?"
As the two were talking, the television began broadcasting the New Year's countdown:
"10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1! Happy New Year everyone!"
It's midnight!
Minmin happily sent her blessings to Muzhi: "Sister Zhizhi, Happy New Year~"
Happy New Year, Minmin.
"Let's quickly check if the boss posted anything on WeChat Moments for the New Year, hehe?"
Mu Zhi: "......" Okay.
She rarely looks at her WeChat Moments and doesn't specifically look at anyone's Moments. Whom she sees on Moments is random, entirely based on luck.
In Mu Zhi's memory, she seemed to have never seen He Zhiyue's WeChat Moments.
The first thing that pops up when I open my WeChat Moments right now is a post from He Zhiyue.
Minmin excitedly leaned closer: "Did President He post a New Year's Eve message on WeChat Moments? Let me see."
After glancing at the contents, Minmin looked at it with a blank expression: That's it?
My boss posted a picture of a pitch-black starry sky on WeChat Moments for New Year's Eve. When I clicked on the picture to zoom in, I could only see a tiny star emitting a faint starlight.
The post on WeChat Moments consisted of only four simple words: Happy New Year.
Minmin muttered to herself, "What did the boss post? Is he trying to be profound...?"
Why did you choose to post such a dark picture during the Chinese New Year?
Could there be some deeper meaning?
Mu Zhi understood.
He Zhiyue posted a star chart with only one star, which is very likely the "Muzhi Planet". His "Happy New Year" message was addressed to her.
He was subtly expressing his feelings on his WeChat Moments.
Only she could understand the burning passion in his heart.
He refrained from appearing in front of her, but wanted her to know his feelings.
Mu Zhi didn't reply to the fireworks video He Zhiyue posted that evening; she understood the meaning behind his post but pretended not to know.
However, He Zhiyue was not deleted.
Mu Zhi thought: Let her see how much tolerance she can reach for He Zhiyue.
The three-day Spring Festival holiday.
Mu Zhi didn't go anywhere; she just stayed in her hotel room.
There are still about a month and a half of filming to do after the New Year, including several key scenes.
Mu Zhi used the Spring Festival holiday to study her character in the hotel and practice emotional scenes in front of the mirror, which she was not yet confident about...
And I've read all the scripts that my agent brought over and sent me.
There isn't one I'm satisfied with yet that I'd like to take on.
I can only continue to choose scripts.
On the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year, the actors and crew members who had gone home for the holiday flew back to Jiujie City one after another.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the crew of "Claws and Teeth" started work.
After filming at the Jiujie Film and Television Base for a week, some of the crew moved to Xiangshan Film and Television City, a famous 4A-level scenic spot, where they filmed large-scale action scenes for more than a week.
Early February.
The crew of "Claws and Teeth" moved to their last filming location, the Western Film City.
The day we moved here happened to be the Lantern Festival.
Mu Zhi and her team completed the hotel check-in procedures, and it was already past 6 p.m.
Minmin and her assistant were about to search for a place to eat.
I received a message from my assistant, Luke, that he had booked a private room at a restaurant and that they could just go and eat there.
"Today is the Lantern Festival, and General Manager He is treating all the company's employees to a meal."
"We are having a meal together."
Minmin: ...Thank you, boss, for being so considerate and caring towards your employees who are away from home.
If she hadn't seen the post on WeChat Moments from another artist's team member about the takeout she was eating.
I almost believed it.
So in fact, they only have such good company benefits because of Mu Zhi.
While they were eating at the restaurant, the restaurant owner claimed to be a fan of Muzhi and gave each of them a bowl of glutinous rice balls.
Minmin was a little paranoid, thinking: Could this be the boss's doing again?
After dinner, on the way back to the hotel.
Minmin sent Muzhi some information, wanting to confirm the details of a job. When she reached out to click on the image, she accidentally opened a pop-up message from her boss.
Caught off guard, she opened the chat window between Mu Zhi and her boss.
[He Zhiyue] Happy Lantern Festival, Teacher Mu!
[He Zhiyue] After the Lantern Festival, do I need to tear down the couplets and restore them to their original state?
Minmin quickly withdrew her hand: "Sister Zhizhi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Mu Zhi reassured Minmin casually, "It's alright."
He replied to He Zhiyue with two words: Whatever.
He swiped to close the chat window with He Zhiyue and continued chatting with Minmin about work as if nothing had happened.
Minmin thought to herself: On New Year's Eve, the boss put up couplets for Sister Zhizhi's apartment. Today, he's asking if we should take them down tomorrow after the Lantern Festival. Isn't that a bit childish?
At the same time, I also think my boss is really good at this.
She discovered that her boss was employing a slow and steady approach.
We need to gradually infiltrate Sister Zhizhi's life and slowly gain her attention.
Based on Minmin's understanding of Muzhi, maybe the boss's approach really works?
Mid-February.
Filming for the movie "Claws" has entered its final countdown.
On this day, a mysterious person from the film crew is coming to visit the set.
In the morning, Mu Zhi heard the assistant director mention a few words: "They came to see Director Hong. They've worked with Director Hong before; he's a heavyweight director."
The first person Mu Zhi thought of: Director Huang Shulan?
In the afternoon, the mysterious director who was mentioned in the trailer made his appearance.
"Director Tang is here, welcome."
"Director Hong, it's been a long time."
Mu Zhi looked at the middle-aged man shaking hands and greeting Director Hong Yan. She remembered him; she had seen the anti-terrorism action film "Golden Globe Building" directed by the same director.
The film ranks second in the domestic box office charts, with a box office of 5 billion yuan.
Minmin excitedly grabbed Muzhi's arm: "It's Director Tang Yan!! Sister Zhizhi, do you want to go and meet him?"
Director Tang Yan's "Golden Globe Building" is a three-year-old film, and many movie fans are eagerly anticipating his next movie. Given the high box office success of his previous film, the next one is sure to be just as impressive.
Minmin is really looking forward to the opportunity for Muzhi and Director Tang to work together.
Just thinking about it is incredibly exciting.
After Hong Yan and Tang Yan chatted for a few words, they both turned to look at the rest tent where Mu Zhi was.
Hong Yan smiled and said something, then turned to look in the direction where Tai Feng was.
Then the assistant director jogged over and asked Mu Zhi to come over.
It's waiting time now.
Director Hong's intention in inviting her to the past was quite clear: Mu Zhi was naturally happy to have the opportunity to meet a well-known director in the industry.
Mu Zhi put down the script, got up and walked over, and Tai Feng was also called over.
Hong Yan gave Tang Yan a brief introduction to Tai Feng and Mu Zhi.
"This is Tai Feng, the male lead in 'Claws and Fangs'."
"Mu Zhi, the female lead in 'Claws and Fangs'."
Tang Yan is relatively young among well-known directors, in his early 50s, less than 1.7 meters tall, with a buzz cut, striking eyebrows and bright eyes, and a simple and honest look when he smiles.
After Director Hong finished his introduction, Mu Zhi and Tai Feng greeted Director Tang.
Tang Yan looked at Mu Zhi and Tai Feng and laughed loudly: "It's a pleasure to meet you both. You are both outstanding representatives of young actors."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the producer asked the assistant director to take a group photo of them.
Tang Yan added Mu Zhi and Tai Feng's contact information.
Tang Yan didn't leave all afternoon.
He sat next to director Hong Yan, watching the monitor as actors such as Tai Feng and Mu Zhi filmed.
Hong Yan sensed Tang Yan's intention in visiting the set. "Director Tang, are you here to select actors for your upcoming film project?"
Tang Yan smiled and did not deny it.
"The lead actress for the new project hasn't been decided yet. I met Mu Zhi today and watched her performance. I'm interested in inviting her."
Tang Yan asked Hong Yan to help him arrange to have dinner with Mu Zhi that evening.
Hong Yan readily agreed: "Okay, sure."
He put his arm around Tang Yan's shoulder and patted him: "Little brother, you have a good eye. Mu Zhi has a wide range of roles, good acting skills, high popularity, and good audience appeal. She is also an actress whose risk index is almost zero according to industry assessments."
Hong Yan whispered to Tang Yan, "As far as I know, many directors want to work with Mu Zhi. The young lady has a high standard when it comes to choosing scripts."
For example, director Huang Shulan.
His relationship with Tang Yan and Huang Shulan was similar; they were all introduced by other directors and had supported each other at each other's film premieres.
Hong Yan was intrigued and wondered which director Mu Zhi would end up working with.
It was almost time to wrap up work.
Mu Zhi heard Director Hong Yan suddenly ask: Are you free tonight? Have dinner with Director Tang Yan.
She was secretly pleased and nodded, "I have time."
Mu Zhi immediately guessed that Director Tang Yan's visit to the set was not for entertainment purposes, but rather to select actors.
After finishing work.
Mu Zhi and her team, including director Tang Yan, Tang Yan's assistant, director Hong Yan, and the producer, a total of 10 people, arrived at a restaurant.
We booked a private room, and everyone filled the table.
First, we ordered food and ate, and then listened to the two directors exchange some ideas about making the film.
Before coming to dinner, Mu Zhi was mentally prepared. She thought that Director Tang Yan intended to invite her to star in the film, and that tonight he would probably talk about the subject matter and synopsis of the film, inquire about the schedule for next year, and express his intention to cooperate.
After one or two months, we'll meet up again to formally discuss the collaboration.
The script will only be available then.
After dinner, Tang Yan wanted to discuss the film project with Mu Zhi.
Director Hong Yan and producer tactfully said they still had some film crew work to arrange and left, leaving the private room to Tang Yan and Mu Zhi.
Then, director Tang Yan took out the prepared script.
Mu Zhi's eyes lit up: The script is already out?!
