“Grandpa said that this is his Christmas gift for me.” Xiaoqi smiled as he looked up at the starry sky, his big eyes sparkling.
“Okay.” Ling Sheng looked at her son. “Go to bed quickly. You have to get up early to go to school tomorrow.”
She had to get up early tomorrow to catch a plane. Filming for “Same Wife” had already started three days ago, but the first few scenes had been filmed by Fang Hua and Sheng Xichen. Everyone had gone over early to familiarize themselves with each other and prepare for the upcoming scenes.
When Ling Sheng returned to her bedroom, she realized that there were two unread messages on her phone. When she clicked on them, she saw a money transfer message: Scumbag Father has transferred 1,000,000 yuan to you.
Ling Sheng counted. Six zeroes, which meant a total of one million. She ran to his door quietly and knocked. “Father, I saw the pocket money you gave me. Thank you.”
My heart!
What had gotten into her father recently? Why had he started treating her and Xiaoqi so well? She was still not used to it!
There was no movement in the bedroom. Ling Sheng thought that he might be asleep or he might not know how to respond. After all, this was the first time he had tried to treat them normally.
The next morning, Ling Sheng flew to M City and arrived at M University, the most beautiful university in China. The campus scenes of the movie would be filmed there.
When they reached the venue, they went to the accommodation the film crew had booked and threw down their luggage. Then, they went to the film site to get to know the actors they would be working with.
When she saw Gu Shen, she felt terrible. Why him? Why him again? Was he crazy? Didn’t he hate her? Why had he accepted a role in the movie?
Gu Shen was asking Director Chen Mo how to control his emotions properly when he saw Ling Sheng walk over. His eyes darkened slightly.
When Chen Mo saw Ling Sheng, his eyes shined brightly and he called out to her. “How was the flight? Are you tired after flying for so long? Do you have the energy to start filming in the afternoon?”
The film crew looked over. After filming for so many days, this was the first time they had seen Director Chen Mo smile and speak so gently.
One had to know that the big boss in front of them was famous for having a bad temper and a cold attitude. He had never given an actor a good attitude. Ever since filming had started three days ago, Senior Fang Hua and Best Actor Sheng had been reprimanded countless times.
He was very strict. If it had not been for his reputation and the good script, the big shots might not have been able to tolerate his bad temper.
This was the first time Fang Hua had seen Chen Mo smile. His smile was very affectionate as he looked in Ling Sheng’s direction, lamenting that the young girl was really good with people.
Ever since she had won the Best Actress Award, she had thought her acting skills were decent. No director had ever doubted her acting skills, let alone criticized her for her poor acting skills.
During the past three days, she had listened to everything and suffered all kinds of scoldings. Only then had she realized that Director Chen Mo’s temper was really bad. His requests were really particular.
Besides her, even Sheng Xichen had been scolded quite badly. He had been just short of saying that the two of them did not know how to act. Thankfully, her and Sheng Xichen’s tempers were mild. If it had been someone else with a bad temper, they would have left.
Gu Shen needed to be pointed out too. He had been filming a scene the whole morning, and Director Chen Mo had been scolding him the whole morning. He had nearly asked him to get lost. He had directly said that his acting skills were dogsh*t and asked him how he had entered the entertainment circle. Who had given him the title of a capable actor?
However, Gu Shen was quite a tolerant person. She was impressed. The Gu Family’s Eldest Master had a strong willpower to be able to tolerate scoldings while filming.
