Dai Shutao came back to her senses and tried to appear calm: "Nothing, it's just too hot."
Is the weather too hot?
After hearing what Dai Shutao said, Xiao Xu subconsciously glanced at the weather forecast. It was clearly seventeen degrees, and it also showed that there would be light rain today... Is Sister Taozi worried about something?
Xiao Xu naively thought that Dai Shutao was still somewhat dissatisfied with this trip. When communicating with Dai Shutao, he spoke very cautiously, fearing that it would cause Dai Shutao's displeasure.
Because she was preoccupied, Dai Shutao didn't notice Xiao Xu's abnormality and was absent-minded for a long time. It was not until she arrived at the shooting site and saw a long-lost figure that she was surprised to return to normal.
"Oh, my angel, I knew I would meet you here!"
A smiling blonde girl rushed towards Dai Shutao enthusiastically. This person was none other than Sino, whom she had met at the Gram concert before.
Later, Sino also sent Dai Shutao several messages, but due to the time difference between the two, the conversations were always limited to just a few words. This did not affect Sino's appreciation for Dai Shutao.
"I heard you won the theme song for 'Alien Wars'. I haven't had time to congratulate you yet. When Ethan told me that, I thought he was joking!"
Sino patted Xiao Xu's shoulder and said politely, "Are you Dai's assistant? Please find us a seat. I have a lot to talk about with her."
Sino's style remained the same as always. Dai Shutao quickly adapted to it, made a gesture to Xiao Xu, and then began to reminisce with Sino.
Si Nuo pouted as she lifted her recently done hair. "Stop talking. I was only going to play a small role in this movie, but they asked me to come along and film a music video together. I didn't expect you Chinese people to be so insistent on this kind of thing. It's a bit demanding."
Dai Shutao couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. It was clearly nitpicking, wasn't it?
But from another perspective, it also shows the director's seriousness about his work. I heard that the director of this play also plans to win awards with this play, and he needs to strive for perfection in every detail.
After chatting with Si Nuo about each other's recent work status, Si Nuo suddenly said, "By the way, dear, did you know that the person being filmed in the studio next door is Monica? Oh my god, I didn't expect that after all these years, she's finally planning to make a comeback. Everyone's saying that the next Grammy Best Female Vocalist award will go to her!"
As for the Gramm Music Awards, Dai Shutao didn't have any expectations, but Monica did arouse her curiosity.
After seeing that Dai Shutao was completely unfamiliar with the name Monica, Si Nuo was surprised at first, but soon began to introduce her enthusiastically.
It turns out that Monica is the hottest female singer in the European and American circles, without a doubt. Since her debut, she has given one perfect answer sheet after another. It can be said that no one can surpass her musical achievements.
Unfortunately, Monica later chose to quit the music industry for love, which also caused regret among music critics, who called her a lost lamb.
It is obvious that this lost lamb is now planning to come back, simply because she and her husband have just gone through a divorce lawsuit and are fighting for the custody of their three children.
"But Dai, I think you're pretty good too. Maybe you'll be the next Monica."
Si Nuo said sweetly, cupping her hands together. "You're also a newcomer in music, and your achievements are quite impressive. Your work has even reached European and American audiences. I believe that in time, you'll become the second Monica! Maybe you'll even surpass her!"
Sino's words were not meant to compliment or please, but were sincere.
The people she chooses often achieve results beyond others' imagination, which has earned her the reputation of being a touchstone in the music industry.
When she saw Dai Shutao for the first time, she had a strong intuition that this girl would sooner or later return to Gram as another dark horse.
A talented newcomer like Dai Shutao would definitely not just win the Best Newcomer award.
"Then I'll take your good wishes." Dai Shutao naturally would not be so arrogant as to compare himself with his predecessors.
She believes in her own abilities and talents. However, a talented female singer like Monica, who has experienced the elimination of the times but can still make steady progress and appear in front of everyone with a proud attitude, definitely has her own unique abilities.
This also made Dai Shutao a little curious about this European and American female singer named Monica.
The filming process was more successful than expected. After all, it was the ending MV shoot. Except for the first few dance moves which were a bit difficult, the filming scene was full of laughter.
The director expressed his deep gratitude to Dai Shutao and several other guest artists who came from afar. He had a smiling face throughout the whole process, making it difficult for people to make things difficult for them.
After the filming was finished, the director warmly invited everyone to have dinner together. There was no reason to refuse such a celebratory dinner. Moreover, Dai Shutao hadn't seen Si Nuo for a long time and wanted to take this opportunity to have a good chat with her.
After three rounds of drinks, it was found that Si Nuo was quite popular. Although he only made a cameo appearance for less than five minutes, he still mingled with everyone. After a while, he left Dai Shutao and started singing and dancing with everyone.
Dai Shutao, who was sitting in the corner slowly drinking tea, looked around, as if she was also infected by the lively atmosphere. Seeing Xiao Xu still huddled in the corner, struggling to communicate on the phone about his work after returning to China, Dai Shutao simply said hello to others and went to the bathroom with her mobile phone.
Although the work was easy, Dai Shutao still felt uneasy. He planned to inform Xiao Xu after returning and book the return ticket for tomorrow.
The longer she stayed in this city, the more uneasy she felt, always feeling that a storm was about to come.
Just as Dai Shutao was about to press the flush button on the toilet, she suddenly heard the crisp sound of high heels coming from the bathroom, followed by a woman's shrill scolding in two languages.
The hotel the director booked was a very famous five-star hotel in the local area. The guests who could dine here were either rich or noble. Dai Shutao had no intention of causing trouble or embarrassing anyone, so he simply sat back on the toilet seat, intending to wait for the woman to vent her emotions before quietly leaving.
After listening to the phone for a while, Dai Shutao suddenly realized something was wrong. Why did she feel that the woman who was arguing with her boyfriend on the phone looked so much like Monica mentioned by Sino?
Just then, Dai Shutao ran into Monica, the popular singer, who was talking on the phone in the bathroom at the top of her lungs. She looked very upset, with a cigarette in one hand and paced back and forth in front of the sink impatiently, occasionally uttering a few abusive words.
After finishing the filming of the MV, Monica invited the staff to have a meal nearby. Coincidentally, she received a call from her ex-husband asking for alimony. Monica, who had drunk a little, completely forgot what her lawyer had told her and started arguing with him.
After a few words, the burning pain in her throat could not help Monica to get rid of her anger. At this moment, a slender jade hand with distinct bones took the phone from her hand.
