10. Visit Xu Ruoming
Zheng Yuan took the contract to get it stamped, and only Guan Miao and Deng Ling were left in the room.
Deng Ling found it a bit funny to see the smile that she couldn't suppress, "Are you so happy?"
"Of course, Sister Deng Ling must have been very happy when she signed her first artist, right?"
Hearing her say this, Deng Ling's eyelashes trembled slightly, and after a while she said, "Indeed, when I signed my first artist, I was also excited for a long time.
Later, when she found a better option, we terminated the contract, and I was sad for several days. "
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere around him suddenly became heavy. Before Guan Miao could speak to comfort him, Zheng Yuan walked in with two contracts and milk tea.
He naturally sensed that the atmosphere in the room was not right, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just smiled and said, "Qiao Lu ordered milk tea for the staff, and I brought back two cups for you."
Guan Miao immediately calmed down and took the milk tea, "Senior Qiao Lu is thoughtful, and thank you Director Zheng for remembering us."
"Of course. You're the lucky cat of our crew now, so of course I have to treat you well."
"Lucky cat?"
"Yes," Zheng Yuan said immediately when he saw her confusion, "After they hired you, Chi Yi and Chen Xing made an additional investment, which just happened to help me solve a big problem."
The more Zheng Yuan talked, the more satisfied he became with Guan Miao, and his tone became much gentler. "There's a party at six o'clock tonight. You should clean up well and don't let them look down on you."
"I've made a note of that."
The two did not stay at Zheng Yuan's place for too long. They just gave away the gifts they had prepared and then prepared to return to the hotel.
First, the other party was indeed busy; second, they also had to visit Xu Ruoming and were afraid of delaying his time in taking care of the children.
It was already past noon when I returned to the hotel. It would be so tactless to disturb others at this time.
There's nothing else to do, so I might as well take a good nap.
…
"I found out that the big trouble Zheng Yuan mentioned was someone the investors were planning to insert. They originally wanted her to play the role of Qiao Lu's niece."
After Deng Ling said this, Guan Miao immediately thought of this role. She didn't have many scenes, but her character was outstanding. She transformed from a somewhat willful young lady into a dignified, steady and responsible royal princess.
If the performance is good, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.
"What a pity," Deng Ling shook her head and said with regret, "It's a pity that this girl's acting skills are really not good. The people behind it originally wanted to use investment to suppress Zheng Yuan.
As you know, costumes and props in period dramas are also a big part of the cost. More money means better props.
Zheng Yuan refused twice, but the other party still insisted. He even got the daily expenses of the crew from somewhere and calculated the bill for him. It can be said that he used both kindness and force to force Zheng Yuan to accept.
However, as soon as your funds arrived, Zheng Yuan immediately found a legitimate excuse to refuse. After the other party found out, they had no choice but to give up.
Guan Miao nodded thoughtfully, "So that's how it is. I thought a big director like Director Zheng had absolute control over his crew."
Deng Ling chuckled upon hearing this. "Zheng Yuan is ultimately just a director, and there are many things he has no control over. On a crew, the person who truly has the final say may not be the director."
But you don't need to worry about these things now. When you become the leading or second female lead in the future, you should worry about your own role."
At this point, she realized that she had been worrying in vain. With Chi Yi around, how could Guan Miao be bullied about these things?
Time passed quickly and it was past two o'clock. Guan Miao and Deng Ling knocked on the door of the next room, holding a set of chess pieces.
"Wait a mininute."
A gentle and graceful female voice came, and I knew the person behind the door must be a dignified and gentle woman.
“Crack.”
The hotel door opened and a woman who looked to be around forty years old appeared in front of them.
Xu Ruoming saw Deng Ling standing nearby, and the wariness in his eyes faded a little. "Is it Guan Miao?"
Guan Miao, who was named, stepped forward with a gift in hand, "Hello, Senior Xu, I am Guan Miao."
"Come in first. There are too many people outside and it's hard to talk."
Xu Ruoming poured each of them a cup of rose tea and said, "This is all I have here. Don't be disgusted."
"How could that be? This flower tea smells so fragrant and the tea water is so clear. I think it must not be an ordinary product on the market."
Hearing this, Xu Ruoming looked at her in surprise, "Miss Guan, you're also interested in scented tea?"
"It's not really research, I just drank with my mother for a while."
"So that's how it is."
Seeing that Xu Ruoming was quite satisfied with Guan Miao, Deng Ling immediately took out the Go board she had prepared and said, "I heard that Teacher Xu's child is learning Go recently. Please accept this small gift."
"Thank you for your trouble."
Xu Ruoming took it, lifted the veil and took a look. It was made of Hachi material. It was not expensive for them, but the person who thought of buying this kind of material really put a lot of thought into it.
Thinking of this, the smile on her face deepened a little, and her attitude towards Guan Miao became better.
"You'll be joining the group tomorrow. If there's anything you're not used to, feel free to come and talk to me."
Deng Ling came here today just to confirm Xu Ruoming's attitude. Now that she heard her say this, she was naturally satisfied.
After the three chatted for a while, Guan Miao asked about today's party, "Will Teacher Xu go?"
"I won't be going to your young people's party. If you find it boring, just call me and use me as an excuse to leave. I don't think anyone will give you any trouble."
"Then I would like to thank Teacher Xu first."
Xu Ruoming's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said softly, "Still calling me Teacher Xu? From now on, you should call me Senior Sister Xu in front of outsiders."
Yes, once the crew officially announces it tomorrow, everyone will know that Guan Miao and Xu Ruoming are fellow students, and that’s why she got this audition opportunity.
In this way, the rumors of this period can be calmed down a lot.
Since Xu Ruoming had said so, Guan Miao naturally had no reason to refuse, "Okay, Senior Sister Xu."
The two did not stay long and returned to their room around three o'clock to prepare for the party later.
Seeing them come back, Shuangshuang immediately came up with makeup brushes, "Sister Miaomiao, you're back, I searched for some of the most popular makeup looks.
Take a look, which one do you think is suitable?"
Guan Miao took the phone, glanced at it, and chose a fake natural look. "This is it. There will be a lot of people around later, so I don't need to stand out, I just need to be flawless."
"good."
After getting the confirmation, they both went aside to carefully study the makeup and matching clothes.
"What do you think of Teacher Xu Ruoming?"
Deng Ling suddenly spoke, and Guan Miao thought for a moment and said, "Although Teacher Xu is old and her appearance is no longer as beautiful as before, the temperament she has accumulated over the years makes her extremely gentle and calm.
She's very much like the gentle and generous aunt next door when I was a child, who makes people like her at first sight."
"Yes, that's why Zheng Yuan hesitated when he learned that the only condition for her to play the role of the queen was you."
Just imagine, if an actor who usually plays good guys suddenly plays a cruel and ruthless villain, would it be exciting enough and attract the audience's attention?
