90. Return to Guan's House
After returning home, Guan Miao was a little surprised that he didn't see Feng Ping.
In her imagination, Sister Yu Ning should be flirting with Feng Ping, or they should be in the dull period of an old couple's relationship, but she never expected that Feng Ping would not be an option.
As if noticing Guan Miao's surprise, Wen Yuning said calmly, "I asked him to go back. He's been away for over a month and can't keep up with his training. It's enough for Yiyi to take care of me."
They looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief when none of them noticed Wen Yuning was angry. "Then Sister Yuning, come and see what gift we bought for you!"
"Well, thank you Miaomiao."
I went to the company again and gave the gift and the script of "Eternal Night" to Deng Ling to look at.
Deng Ling was very happy when she saw the gift, and she was even happier when she heard that she had confirmed her next work.
However, her happiness vanished when she saw the title of the script, "Eternal Night." She took two deep breaths and said, "Who gave you this script? I think it was already screened out by me."
"Hmm?" Guan Miao was puzzled. "That should be what Sister Chi Yi stuffed into my suitcase. But why did Sister Deng Ling pass it through?"
"This script is too dark. I think it's hard to get out of the role at your age. What if it makes you depressed?
Furthermore, there's a high probability that a lot of cuts will be required after filming, and the final product might not be worth watching. I think it's better for you not to take this risk."
Guan Miao thought for a few seconds and said, "What you said makes sense. I'll go back and think about it."
Seeing that her attitude had softened, Deng Ling immediately took out a new script and handed it to her, "I picked out a few new scripts that have just been delivered. Take a look. They have various styles, and there must be one you like.
One is a period drama that looks at my country's development path thirty years ago from the perspective of ordinary people; the other is a sweet pet drama, from bickering to only you, not long, only about twenty episodes;
For this book, I'd like to invite you to guest-star as a villain who will be offline in three episodes. Although there are not many episodes, fortunately the character is vivid, so I think you can consider it.
If it's three episodes, we can finish filming in three or four days at most, and we can show our faces in front of everyone."
Deng Ling said with a hint of melancholy, “Emergency Talents’ post-production isn’t even half done yet, who knows how long it will take to be released.
Your current inventory is too small, and there are too many gaps between releases. It's easy for newcomers to steal your fans!"
Guan Miao closed the script and smiled calmly in the face of Deng Ling's anxious eyes, "Sister Deng Ling, I know what you mean, but quality is more important than quantity for this inventory.
If I start cramming roles just to keep my face, the first people to get tired of it will definitely be the fans with brains, so I still want to go the high-quality route.”
Deng Ling hesitated to speak, and finally said only one sentence, "Think about it, how many new people emerge every year like mushrooms after rain? Moreover, in recent years, the public's taste has become more and more inclined towards fast-paced, refreshing, and sweet pet dramas. How many people still like deep-seated dramas?
Nowadays, TV series and movies are fast-moving consumer goods. The public just wants to enjoy the excitement within two hours of watching them. Who cares what the show is about?
Those who pursue fine works may be seen, but most are lost in the corridors of time, so you have to be mentally prepared."
Listening to her almost threatening words, Guan Miao nodded firmly, "Sister Deng Ling, don't worry, I'm grown up now, and I will be responsible for any decision I make."
Seeing that the girl opposite was still so determined after she had analyzed the pros and cons so thoroughly, Deng Ling suddenly smiled.
Guan Miao looked at Deng Ling who suddenly smiled in a daze. He felt that he saw many things in her smile, relief, relief and regret.
"I told you all the risks. It was you who insisted on going the high-quality route. If Mr. Chi asks me why I didn't let you appear in movies or TV shows, it has nothing to do with me."
After listening to Deng Ling's reasons, she felt both amused and angry. Finally, she glared at her and said, "I understand. I won't blame you."
After handing over all the current matters to Deng Ling, Guan Miao took the new script back to his parents' home.
Sure enough, although it was Saturday, Guan's father still didn't come back. Guan's mother was very surprised to see her and An Jing come back.
"Miaomiao, Anjing, didn't you just come back from City D? Why don't you take a few more days off?"
Seeing his long-lost relatives, Guan Miao immediately pounced on and hugged Guan's mother, taking a big breath of the familiar scent of laundry detergent on his mother like he was sucking a cat.
"Mom, you've been resting for so long. If you rest any longer, you'll get moldy. I came to see you and I have some questions for you."
Guan's mother looked at her in surprise, "I can't act, are you going to play the teacher again this time?"
"Oh no."
After Guan Miao pulled his mother to sit on the sofa, he read the script of "Eternal Night" to her.
“The protagonist was abducted when she was five years old. She finally escaped when she was twelve, only to find that her parents had already given birth to a younger brother. They were originally happy to see her back.
But the protagonist was always beaten and scolded in the mountains, and developed a cowardly character. Over time, her parents disliked her, and her brother said that she was wasting the family's money and falsely accused the protagonist of beating him.
Finally, her parents, holding on to their last bit of conscience, sent her to a boarding junior high school a little far from home.
But in junior high school, the protagonist started a new nightmare.
During the years she was trafficked, she received no education at all. She skipped elementary school and went straight to junior high school, where she couldn't even read. The other students in her class looked down on her, thinking she was stupid. They verbally bullied her and placed all sorts of things in her desk and dormitory.
She resisted once or twice, but the teacher didn't care at all because he didn't like her either and felt she was lowering the class average.
Until one day, she was pushed into a pool of ice-cold water, over and over again, and she didn't know how she survived that afternoon.
When she regained consciousness, she was already on the bus going home. She wanted to find her parents and tell them that she was being bullied.
But when she returned home, she found that her parents and brother were celebrating her birthday. The family was happy and harmonious. The house was so bright, with lights and music everywhere, which was completely different from her dormitory.
Her younger brother found her, and her parents' faces immediately fell when they saw her. They asked her why she came back. She carefully told them about the bullying she had experienced, but she was interrupted impatiently by her father after just a few words.
Only then did she realize that she had lost her home since the day she was abducted, and she could no longer find the support to survive.
So she waited at the bus stop all night, took the first bus back to school, and then jumped from the school's laboratory building, dying on the spot.
