After sitting for a while, the sweat on Tan Si’s body had already evaporated. Thinking of her previous plan, she immediately became energetic. She sat up straight and said to Zhou Yun, “Sister Yun, help me think of a way to let me join the production team of ‘Windward’ to play a supporting role.”
Zhou Yun frowned slightly and looked at Tan Si. “You really think so highly of me. Do you think you can enter Director Dong’s production team just because you want to? Besides, you still have to finish filming here. Moreover, his new movie is about to start filming. Director Dong hates people who stick themselves in the most. Just this alone won’t even give you a chance to audition.”
When Tan Si heard this, she pursed her lips. “Director Dong has a rule about not using newbies. Didn’t Tan Ming enter the production team as well? She’s even the third female lead.”
Zhou Yun’s eyes widened slightly as she confirmed, “Tan Ming joined the production team of ‘Windward’?!”
Tan Si nodded regretfully. “I’ve already confirmed it.”
Zhou Yun lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment. “Looks like Jiang Huai must have put in a lot of effort. Not only does the newbie not have any acting skills, but she even convinced Director Dong to give her the third female lead role. It seems like Tan Ming is indeed not simple.”
“But I’m not very familiar with Director Dong. I really can’t get Director Dong to set a precedent for me.”
Seeing this, Tan Si took a step back. “Then it’s fine to give me an inconspicuous small role. It’s fine as long as I can have a few lines. It’s best if I can act with Tan Ming. I want to use my strength to crush Tan Ming and let the audience sec what a professional actress is! The main thing is to let Si Cheng see my capabilities and future development. Marrying me instead of Tan Ming will definitely help him more.”
This time, Zhou Yun did not reject her directly. She said slowly, “I’ll try and think of a way to get you a guest appearance. You’re one of the four most upcoming female celebrities after all. Director Dong will most likely not reject this free traffic.”
Director Dong would not mind if the actors who stuck themselves in only acted in little side roles like guest appearances. After all, they were only small roles that were filmed in less than a day.
All of Tan Si’s thoughts were on how to crush Tan Ming and prove that she was stronger than Tan Ming.
On the other hand, Zhou Yun was more far-sighted. Although she did not know why Director Dong had made an exception to choose a newbie, if she could let Tan Si crush Tan Ming, the third female lead, with a few words as a supporting role and take advantage of Director Dong and the popularity of this movie, it would greatly increase her exposure after giving birth and she would not lose her status.
Now, from filming to editing and reviewing, and finally to screening, it would be done around the middle of next year at the earliest. The more Zhou Yun thought about it, the more she felt that it was a good idea for Tan Si to partic.i.p.ate in a movie directed by Director Dong at this stage.
The two of them had different goals, but what they wanted to do was the same!
Soon, it was time to join the production team. Tan Ming and Li Mei brought the two confinement nannies and the babies to the film studio in Lin Province with Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai knew that there were many entertainment reporters following him. Occasionally, there would be illegitimate fans with extreme behavior. In order to protect his family, Jiang Huai chose to stay in the hotel arranged by the production team with the other actors.
As Tan Ming’s personal a.s.sistant, w.a.n.g Zhen also followed Tan Ming into the high-cla.s.s apartment that Zhao Bing had found in advance.
w.a.n.g Zhen was usually a calm young lady, but when she saw the two babies, her eyes immediately became starry. “An’an, your babies are too cute! They’re so beautiful! They’re fair and plump, cute and soft!”
w.a.n.g Zhen clenched her fists and placed them on both sides of her face. She looked at the child in the nanny’s arms excitedly.
This was the first time Tan Ming had seen w.a.n.g Zhen so emotional. She smiled and asked, “Do you want to carry them?”
w.a.n.g Zhen’s pupils dilated as she asked in surprise, “Can I carry them?!”
w.a.n.g Zhen was an only child. Her cousins had yet to give birth to children. This was the first time she had come into close contact with a few-month-old baby.
Jiang Yu was more picky, and Jiang Yi was obedient. Tan Ming chose to let w.a.n.g Zhen carry Jiang Yi.
After w.a.n.g Zhen carried him, she was so frightened that she did not dare to move. Her stiff limbs made Jiang Yi feel a little uncomfortable. He frowned slightly and moved uncomfortably. “An’an! What if he moves?!”
Tan Ming chuckled and reached out to help w.a.n.g Zhen adjust her posture. “Don’t be so nervous. Relax.”
w.a.n.g Zhen replied nervously, “He’s so small and soft. I’m afraid that if I move, I’ll accidentally break him or he’ll spill through my arms.”
The few people who had parenting experience laughed out loud. Tan Ming supported Jiang Yi’s body and helped w.a.n.g Zhen sit on the sofa. “Sit down and carry him. This way, you won’t be so nervous since you have a place to lean on..”
