Chapter 004(1/2)
When she received the notice from the assistant director of the crew, Ming Wei was eating hot pot, spicy Sichuan hot pot, with Lin Nuan.
White mist shrouded the air, and Ming Wei wondered if she had heard wrongly: "You really want me to act?"
"It's absolutely true. If it's convenient for Miss Ming, please come to East Film at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to sign the contract, and then keep it secret for the time being to cooperate with the crew's promotion."
"No problem, um, see you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone and meeting Lin Nuan's expectant eyes, Ming Wei couldn't help but smile and nodded heavily.
"Ah ah ah, our Weiwei is going to be famous!" Lin Nuan was even more excited than Ming Wei, and ran over and hugged Ming Wei.
Mingwei said "shh" and the two of them had hot pot first and then went home to celebrate.
"Weiwei, let me tell you, there is only one kissing scene between the Taifu and the princess in the original work. You should cherish it." After the excitement, Lin Nuan started to act inappropriately.
"Didn't you mean that he never did kissing scenes?" Mingwei asked, leaning on the sofa.
Lin Nuan chuckled: "You are so beautiful, maybe Mu Tingzhou is so obsessed with sex that he is willing to give you his first kiss on screen."
Ming Wei threw a pillow over. She was filming to make extra money, so it was best not to kiss, even if the other party was Mu Tingzhou.

Ming Wei's role is expected to last forty episodes, and the package price is one million. For a new actor without any fame or experience, this salary is very generous, and in the words of the producer, after the broadcast of "The First Assistant of the Ming Dynasty",
Ming Wei's popularity will definitely increase greatly. That is Ming Wei's biggest gain from joining the group. The salary is only a short-term benefit.
Mingwei asked a lawyer to help read the contract. After confirming that there were no problems, she signed and joined the team.
The costume of the leading actress was made according to the original size of the actress. Ming Wei was about the same height as the actress, only slightly fatter. The designer squeezed Ming Wei's arm and felt that Ming Wei still had room to lose weight, so she decided to just re-
Designing hair styles just makes time to train Ming Wei on her acting skills and shooting skills.
After a month of intensive training, Ming Wei lost ten pounds and then went to Hengdian with several staff members, where the crew had already started filming.
That night the producer acted as a host and invited several important actors to dinner to help Mingwei get acquainted with other actors as soon as possible.
Mingwei is a junior in the entertainment industry. She went downstairs early and waited in the hotel lobby. After sitting there for five minutes, she saw a beautiful eight or nine-year-old boy walking towards her with an assistant. Mingwei searched for the actors and actresses.
I recognized the other person as Qin Lei, who played the role of the Little Emperor in the play. The boy had a clean and delicate smile, which was very lovable.
Mingwei stood up and said hello: "Xiao Lei."
"Sister Ming, you are so beautiful." Qin Lei said sweetly.
"You are also very handsome." Ming Wei smiled and praised him, "This is my first time filming, please take good care of me in the future."
Qin Lei blushed shyly.
There were children who made the atmosphere lively, and Mingwei behaved generously and politely when meeting several other celebrities who came one after another. These old drama stars each had their own personalities, and they treated Mingwei, a young girl, quite kindly, but also
Not too enthusiastic, after all, everyone relies on their ability to speak. Mingwei is so good-looking, she just debuted and got a big drama, so she is suspected of using the back door.
"Sister Ming, that's brother Chen Zhang."
Everyone had moved to the restaurant. Ming Wei sat with her back to the entrance of the restaurant. When she heard this, she turned her head and saw the "consort" in her play.
Chen Zhang is twenty-four this year and is one of the new hotties. Compared with some handsome men who have good looks but no acting skills, although Chen Zhang's acting skills cannot be compared with those of movie kings like Mu Tingzhou, he is dedicated to his work.
His fighting spirit and increasingly mature performances have been recognized by many professional film critics.
Ming Wei thinks that she is really the weirdo of this crew and is destined to become a vase.
"Miss Ming, nice to meet you."
When she was distracted, Chen Zhang had already arrived in front of her. He was wearing black trousers and a white shirt. He looked clean like a big boy. He had a slight dimple on the right cheek when he smiled. His black eyes looked at her with a smile, with undisguised interest.
and stunning.
"Hello." Ming Wei said a little cautiously, not used to dealing with these celebrities.
Chen Zhang shook hands with her politely, but after letting go, he suddenly touched the top of Ming Wei's head, with teasing eyes: "It's time to be polite. Let's call each other by our names from now on. Mr. and Miss are too intrusive. You and I are
Someone who wants to get married."
His teasing was natural. Ming Wei relaxed, smiled and nodded. Just as she was about to sit down, she caught a glimpse of another figure appearing at the door.
It's Mu Tingzhou. It's obviously a very casual black crew-neck shirt, but he wears it with a noble and graceful look like an emperor. As he walks leisurely in the courtyard, he has a slight sense of aloofness, but it's not disgusting.
"Mr. Mu." Ming Wei moved outside the dining table, and her words contained a hint of uncontrollable respect. Not only she, but also other juniors in the same crew as Mu Tingzhou would do this when facing the actor.
Mu Tingzhou nodded simply.
"Tingzhou sits here." The producer pointed to the empty seat on Mingwei's left and said, "Mingwei is a newcomer. She has the most roles with Chen Zhang and you two. I ask you to take care of me in the next few months... Come on, Mingwei."
Wei first proposes a toast to everyone, especially Tingzhou Chen Zhang, other actresses have no chance to act as CPs with them."
Mingwei had a good drinking capacity, so she first offered a drink to everyone, and then to Chen Zhang and Mu Tingzhou alone.
Chen Zhang has cool and handsome features. He is actually approachable and takes good care of Ming Wei, which invisibly brings Ming Wei closer to the old drama stars. Mu Tingzhou didn't say a few words after he sat down, as if he was forced to make up for it.
, but he goes his own way and is content, as if he is living in another world that belongs to him.
After eating and drinking for almost an hour, it was almost time to break up. In addition to responding to other people's questions, Mu Tingzhou finally took the initiative to say something.
He wiped the corners of his lips with a napkin, put it away, and looked up at Ming Wei: "Miss Ming, stay here."
Everyone was stunned, including Ming Wei, who had no idea what Mu Tingzhou wanted to do, but he turned his head and looked out the window without giving any explanation.
Chen Zhang gave Ming Wei a questioning look.
Ming Wei shook her head, looking confused.
Mu Tingzhou was well-known for his weird temper, but he was a decent man, so Chen Zhang and others left with peace of mind.
"What's the matter with you?" Mingwei asked cautiously, not even nervous in front of the most serious client.
Mu Tingzhou nodded his chin slightly to the side: "Sit."
Seeing that he wanted to talk for a long time, Ming Wei was confused and obediently sat back down, about half an arm's length away from Mu Tingzhou.
"Mr. Mu, do you want anything else?" the waiter asked diligently after clearing the table.
Mu Tingzhou looked at Mingwei, who shook her head politely.
Mu Tingzhou ordered a bottle of red wine, and the waiter thoughtfully prepared two glasses.
"Ms. Ming was engaged in the translation industry before?" Mu Tingzhou asked calmly after taking a sip.
This was purely a knowing question, but Ming Wei still nodded and solemnly re-introduced herself as an Italian translator.
Mu Tingzhou looked forward: "Why did you switch to acting?"
Mingwei pursed her lips.
She thought she had a good temper, but Mu Tingzhou asked her to stay for no reason. She agreed out of respect. Now Mu Tingzhou asks questions but doesn't even give him a straight look. He treats her arrogantly like a subordinate, and Mingwei doesn't owe him anything.
He said directly: "Does Mr. Mu have anything else to do? It's getting late, and I have to prepare for tomorrow's shooting."
"I just need you to answer a few questions." Hearing that she was unhappy, Mu Tingzhou still looked indifferent, but finally he was willing to look at Ming Wei, his deep black eyes looking at her without any emotion: "
Acting cooperation requires tacit understanding, and I want to know more about my colleagues in the next few months."
Okay, this reason is barely acceptable.
Mingwei thought for a while and said to the beautiful red wine in the goblet: "A friend of a friend suggested that I go for an audition. I went with the attitude of giving it a try. Joining the group was an unexpected surprise, and I was not sure whether I would change my career.
"Lin Nuan has already imagined her future as a popular star. Ming Wei likes to be down-to-earth. It would be nice to have both fame and fortune, but the job of acting is very unfamiliar to her, and she alone has the final say whether it will last long.
Mu Tingzhou nodded slightly and unconsciously turned the wine glass with his right hand.
His palms are big, and his knuckles are white and slender, and they contain a kind of strength. They are definitely not white like that of a young man who is more delicate than a woman.
"Last question." Mu Tingzhou put down his wine glass and stared at Ming Wei with his dark eyes, "Based on what Miss Ming just said, can I think that Miss Ming's main motivation for joining the group is fame or remuneration?"
Mingwei is like a ray of light on my back.
She couldn't give a specific reason, but she had a feeling that Mu Tingzhou might be unhappy if she admitted that she was doing it for fame and fortune.
It's hard to get along with Mu Tingzhou now. What will the unhappy actor look like?
"Where is Mr. Mu?" Mingwei asked cautiously, "Why did Mr. Mu take this drama?"
Mu Tingzhou smiled, a very brief smile: "I like the script and trust the director's level. This is the fundamental reason why I took the film. The remuneration is just my reasonable labor remuneration."
In other words, he is not doing it for money or to be tall.
But Mingwei is a vulgar person. She is willing to admit that she is vulgar and said calmly: "I didn't think much about it. I just wanted to make extra money."
"Then you might lose your job."
Like a hunter waiting for an opportunity to harvest, Mu Tingzhou poured himself a drink, and did not bother to look at Mingwei. His side face was indifferent: "Every industry has its professional ethics. I can accept the partner of a newcomer who is immature in acting but passionate about acting.
I am not ashamed to be associated with people like you who are just filming for fame and fortune."
Ming Wei was so angry that she was trembling all over, so what Mu Tingzhou meant was that because of her impure intentions, Mu Tingzhou was going to act big and ask the crew to fire her?
"I signed the contract." Mingwei pretended to be calm and refused to lose her momentum.
Mu Tingzhou chuckled: "If the actor's acting skills are not good, the crew can unilaterally terminate the contract."
Mingwei stared: "How do you know I'm not good at acting?"
Mu Tingzhou stood up and looked down at her: "I don't think she has acting skills for an unprofessional actor."
