Chapter 187: Little Cotton Jacket is so fierce! (11)
After some ideological struggle, Wei Siyuan finally made up his mind to give his daughter a chance to try.
But no matter what, he would never let his daughter go back to live with her grandmother.
During the day, he dropped his daughter off at the after-school care center and then went to the decoration team to lay tiles.
It took him a week to complete all the finishing work he was doing and successfully collected more than 30,000 yuan in project payment.
The decoration work is a bit dirty and tiring, but he has good skills and has the connections and channels from his previous tile business, so Wei Siyuan actually makes a lot of money.
If he hadn't been in debt, he wouldn't have lived such a miserable life.
Before he could even warm the money he had just received, Wei Siyuan paid off a debt of 20,000 yuan. He planned to use the rest for travel expenses and accompany his daughter to a film and television city for an interview before the end of summer vacation.
He knew nothing about this industry and stayed up all night searching for relevant information online. Finally, under Shi Sui's guidance and encouragement, he contacted Zhao Ziyin and asked her to help him make connections.
These two people, who are relatives but not blood relatives, had previously had a big fight in the rental house. Wei Siyuan even said harshly, "No means no, it's no use telling me a thousand times, ten thousand times!" Now he is contradicting himself...
For a grown man, it's quite damaging to his self-esteem.
However, from a father's perspective, in order to fulfill his daughter's dream of photography, self-esteem and other things can be put aside.
For Zhao Ziyin, it doesn't matter at all.
All she cares about is money, money, money, money!!
As long as the cash cow can continue to work, new and old grudges are nothing...
"The casting had originally ended a few days ago, but I finally persuaded A Lei to help me open a backdoor. He agreed for my sake and told us to go to the film and television city in Y City for an interview the day after tomorrow. Brother-in-law! You really have to thank me this time!"
Zhao Ziyin called Wei Siyuan to take credit for the achievement and urged him to pack up his things and go make money.
In fact, the real situation is not what she said.
Who does she think she is? Would she open a backdoor for a stranger?
It's true that the casting has ended, and it's also true that Are used a backdoor. But the reason he did so was purely because he admired Shi Sui's performance, and it had nothing to do with Zhao Ziyin.
Zhao Ziyin was flattering herself, and her only plan was to get a bigger share of the remuneration from Wei Siyuan.
But Wei Siyuan doesn't care about this at all.
He only laid out two principles: "First, he must accompany her throughout the entire process, from the interview to the shoot. Second, if Xuanxuan feels uncomfortable or doesn't like the interview or the test shoot, he will take her away from the studio immediately."
"...If I'm not chosen, I can just consider myself unlucky. But if I'm chosen and Xuanxuan doesn't want to shoot, then it would be a waste of my time. You have to pay me 50% of the remuneration in the contract!"
Zhao Ziyin is very meticulous and is always thinking about how to maximize her own interests.
Tokiho eavesdropped on their conversation from the side and smiled slightly.
Such a love of money! People like this may appear smart, but they are actually the easiest to be deceived...
…
Two days later, Wei Siyuan, Zhao Ziyin and Shi Sui took the high-speed train to Y City.
Wei Siyuan had deliberately bought tickets at different times from Zhao Ziyin because he didn't want to sit with her.
But Zhao Ziyin's aunt, whose face was thicker than a city wall, actually went out of her way to beg the passenger in the back row of Wei Siyuan to change seats and act as a human surveillance, as if she was afraid that the father and daughter would run away.
During the three-hour journey, Shisui heard her chatting and sending messages with Are.
Sometimes he laughed out loud, and sometimes he pressed the phone screen with his nail polish, making a clicking sound.
It's called work contact, but it's too frequent.
After all, Zhao Ziyin is married, so she should at least avoid suspicion, right?
Tokiho smelled something wrong...
Wei Siyuan didn't focus his attention on Zhao Ziyin.
He was like a super dad the whole time, and his meticulous care for Shisui made her feel a little suffocated.
For thousands of years, she has been used to being alone. She really relied on her acting skills to carry off the role of Little Cotton-padded Jacket.
Calling "Dad, Dad" every day gave her goosebumps.
Shi Sui thought that after arriving at the film and television city, she would have to find an opportunity to knock Wei Siyuan down.
His concern for his daughter would only slow down her response to Zhao Ziyin.
...When I got off the high-speed train, it was already past 2 p.m.
I took another taxi to the film and television city, checked into the hotel, and after everything was settled, it was quickly 4 or 5 in the evening.
"Great, the casting director just arrived on set. I'll send you a location. Come over now."
Are called Zhao Ziyin, and Zhao Ziyin excitedly pulled Shi Sui out.
The film and television city is also a city that never sleeps.
In a 24-hour day, except for seven or eight in the morning when it is relatively quiet, there are different crews filming at other times.
Everyone is used to a reversed day and night schedule.
The total area is larger than a small town and is dotted with buildings of various styles.
The extras ate cold lunch boxes, lived in shared rooms, and day after day pursued their dream of becoming big stars one day.
There are actors of all ages, including old, middle-aged, young and children.
Some wore Qing Dynasty clothes and wore banners, some wore anti-Japanese uniforms with bloodstains on their faces, and some shaved their heads and wore monk's robes...
People dressed in all kinds of clothes were walking on the street, joking and chatting with each other. This scene opened Wei Siyuan's eyes.
For a complete outsider like him, it was a little hard to accept for a moment... Would his daughter really like this kind of place...
"Thank you for coming here. I'll ask the production staff to reimburse you for your round-trip high-speed rail tickets and accommodation for the next few days."
Are came to pick someone up, met Wei Siyuan, exchanged greetings, and then took Shisui to the casting director.
The casting director, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, was immediately dazzled when he saw Tokiho's delicate features.
"She's so beautiful! Look, those big eyes seem to speak..." The casting director put down his cigarette and muttered, "It's such a waste to use this face to play the childhood of the villainous female supporting character. After the show airs, it might even overshadow the young actress who plays the female lead's childhood..."
Yo, it’s not okay to be too pretty?
