72. Daily life of the crew
Deng Ling took over all matters before the award ceremony, so Guan Miao could calm down and prepare for the next scene.
There was a knock on the door, and before Deng Ling could ask, a female voice asked cautiously, "Teacher Guan, can I come in?"
"Come in."
A young girl wearing a mask pushed open the door and looked at everyone in the room with nervous eyes.
There are so many people here. Didn’t they say that only Teacher Guan and Sister Shuangshuang are here? Why is Teacher Deng here too? Help!
Seeing the girl's nervous hands not knowing where to put them, Guan Miao took the initiative to ask: "Hello, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Guan, Teacher Guan, Director Geng said they want to move your evening scenes to the afternoon. Is that convenient for you?"
Guan Miao was very confused, "So sudden?"
"It was a bit sudden. Director Geng made the decision all of a sudden." The girl was already feeling guilty when she was asked this, and now she didn't even dare to look her in the eye.
Seeing that she looked so guilty, both of them guessed that something must have happened earlier.
Thinking of this, Guan Miao gave Shuangshuang a subtle look, and the other party immediately understood and quietly left the room.
"I understand. You can go back first. I will discuss the details with Geng Le."
The girl was a little disappointed that she didn't get an accurate answer, but seeing Guan Miao's cold face at the moment, she didn't dare to ask more questions.
After leaving the room, the girl breathed a sigh of relief. Teacher Guan hadn't explicitly refused, so she should have completed her mission, right?
After a few minutes, Shuangshuang came back and closed the door as soon as they arrived to prevent any sound from leaking out.
"Sister Miaomiao, I found out that Su He was stuck. She couldn't get through her crying scenes, so Director Geng asked her to go back and adjust her condition, so the evening scenes were moved to the afternoon."
When she said this, Guan Miao understood, "So that's how it is. What do the others think?"
"The other main actors haven't expressed any objections yet, but I heard that Su He's agent has already ordered milk tea and small cakes."
"Normal," Deng Ling put down her phone and took over. "It's a conventional routine, not abnormal. So Miaomiao, can you do it?"
"Of course I have no problem. I can fill in any time. And if we finish shooting sooner, we can go back earlier."
"Okay, I'll go talk to Geng Le."
When Geng Le heard that Guan Miao agreed, he immediately notified the other leading actors and the lighting team and tried to start filming in half an hour.
…
The busy life on the set gradually cooled Guan Miao's heated mind, and even the joy of possibly winning an award faded a little.
"Today is August 5th, and there are only eight days left until the awards ceremony on the 13th. I've almost finished arranging everything. I've asked Geng Le for three days off for you."
"Three days?" Guan Miao looked up at her with some confusion. "The award ceremony is in the neighboring city of P. Two days should be enough for the round trip. Why are you asking for three days off?"
"The extra day is for you to adjust your state. An awards ceremony is such a big event, so of course you have to be in the best condition to attend.
By the way, have you informed your parents? I have two seats in the audience that can be reserved for them. I guarantee they will have the best view."
Guan Miao hesitated for a moment, "I haven't decided whether to tell you yet. My parents are old, and it's a bit troublesome for them to run around like this."
Deng Ling was silent for a few seconds before she said, "Miao, do you think your parents know about your nomination now?"
"My dad definitely doesn't know, but my mom should know." After all, it's summer vacation now, and my mother is only supervising two graduate students, so she should have time to surf.
"Then I guess Auntie must be very anxious and angry now. Since you didn't take the initiative to tell her, she doesn't dare to ask directly, for fear of putting pressure on you."
Guan Miao listened to Deng Ling's words and understood her implication. "I understand what Sister Deng Ling means. I'll ask Mom what she thinks tonight."
Seeing that she agreed, Deng Ling also breathed a sigh of relief.
With his parents around, if Guan Miao really fails to be selected, there will be someone to accompany and comfort him.
"I've already chosen the dress and jewelry for that day. They're from Hanamiki's autumn and winter collection this year, and I have these three sets to choose from."
Deng Ling opened her tablet and showed her three dresses one by one, "One is cute pink, one is blue and steady, and the last one is green, which is your favorite.
You didn't make any announcements the day after tomorrow, so I made an appointment for you to try on clothes at nine o'clock that morning. Luckily, the other party is in this city, otherwise I would have to take time off."
"Okay, but this Hanamiki, why haven't I heard of this brand?"
"It's a domestic brand, not very well-known in China at the moment," she said, as if afraid Guan Miao would think it wasn't high-end enough, and immediately pulled up all the information she had found. "But don't worry, they've always had a good reputation and have been on several fashion weeks. I heard they were even applying to join the Haute Couture Association last year."
"I see. Their clothes are really nice. They're not plagiarized, right?"
"Don't worry about that. A few days ago, Chai Yue, Xue Er, and I checked all the dresses in their house and didn't find any pirated ones."
Guan Miao nodded, "That's good. It doesn't matter if it's not well-known, as long as it's not plagiarized."
"Yes, and they're also interested in making you a brand ambassador, which is their highest title at the moment."
"Does their family have other spokespersons?"
“No more.”
After hearing this, Guan Miao seemed to understand something. "So they want to buy shares from me?"
"That's about it. The treatment they offer is pretty good, so you can give it a try.
If they get admitted into the Haute Couture Association during the endorsement period, we will also gain face and save a lot of trouble."
"That makes sense. I'll have to trouble Sister Deng Ling to discuss the specific endorsement matters."
"It's a small matter. After signing with Hanamiki, we will have a fixed channel for dresses. We don't have to beg luxury brands to give us some garbage."
Guan Miao closed the script and asked, "Sister Deng Ling, are you angry?"
It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as she did, Deng Ling was filled with rage and started to rant, "It's that D family again. They were always so polite to me before, but when I asked them for a seasonal dress a while ago, they just threw a tantrum back at me."
To say it's a criticism is to beautify it, that's just sarcasm! Naked sarcasm!
They even said that Guan Miao was just lucky and was chosen as a denominator to fill the numbers. She really took herself too seriously. How could someone of her status get a dress this season? There were a few clothes from the previous year that she could wear.
Don't want it? Oh, whatever, I can give it to someone else anyway.
I'm so angry. What a crappy brand! If Miaomiao becomes popular in the future, we won't cooperate with you even if you beg us to.
Deng Ling didn't say everything, but Guan Miao could guess a little bit of what she meant. It was nothing more than that she was saying that her status was low.
There is no way. Sister Chi’s identity is useful in competing for roles, but it is best to be low-key with this kind of foreign brand.
Otherwise, if I get any inside information from her, the situation will be very interesting.
"It's okay. There are thousands of luxury brands. If it doesn't work, we can just switch. Besides, isn't that how this industry works? Luxury brands are all about background, connections, and status.
If I really win this rookie award, their attitude will probably be much better."
"Humph," Chi Yi said arrogantly, "Based on their attitude, you won't be able to choose even if they beg you in the future, understand?"
"Don't worry, Sister Deng Ling, I will always stand by your side."
"That's more like it."
At seven o'clock in the evening, Guan Miao made a video call to his mother and told her about his nomination.
She found that her mother was obviously relieved after she finished speaking.
It seems that it is just as Sister Deng Ling said, her mother is waiting for her to speak first.
"Mom, do you and Dad want to come and see me then?"
"Of course I want it. Your dad and I haven't seen you in a long time. We were worried that it would affect your filming. Now that we finally have this opportunity, how can we miss it?"
"Okay, then I'll have Uncle Li pick you up at the high-speed rail station."
"I know. Take care of yourself and don't be too nervous." Guan's mother looked at the thinner Guan Miao in the video with heartache. "It's just an award. It would be best if you win it, but don't be too sad if you don't.
We've only been performing for a short time, and there will surely be plenty of awards waiting for you in the future."
"Well, don't worry, Mom. I know what's going on."
