Chapter 1165: 1164 Partic.i.p.ating
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After the photos were taken, Tan Rou invited Tao Zheng to the cafeteria for a drink. The weather was cold, and they had been outside for so long. They could drink a cup of hot cocoa to get rid of the marks on their bodies.
Tan Rou and Meng Xiao sat at the side while Tao Zheng sat opposite them, fiddling with his camera.
“When do you plan to shoot the next drama?” Tan Rou asked.
Tao Zheng replied, “We’re still at the stage of looking for a good site. All the preparatory work is done, but the weather is a little cold. We should wait another two weeks before we can shoot. We’ll shoot the winter scenes first, then shoot the summer scenes when the weather is hot.”
Meng Xiao suddenly asked, “Miss Tan Rou, do you want to try acting? I’m not asking you to follow the production team all the time, but to guest star in a role. We’ll definitely be filming at Capital University. Miss Tan Rou happens to be studying here, so it’ll be very convenient for you to join us.”
Tan Rou wasn’t someone who liked to be in the limelight. She didn’t like to show her face on the big screen. However, things are different now. In the past, she needed to keep a low profile. Now that everyone knew that she was the boss of TR, there was no way she could keep a low profile.
“What role would I be playing? Let me think about it.”
Meng Xiao smiled and said, “It’s a student love story. You’ll definitely be paired with someone. If Miss Tan Rou is too embarra.s.sed to act alone, you can bring Mr. Zhuang along.”
Before Tan Rou could react to what she was saying, Tao Zheng also spoke up. “Zhuang Liu should be busy too. Moreover, our TV series is a low-cost production. We shouldn’t have that much money to pay Zhuang Liu for his appearance.”
“If we don’t try, how will we know?” Meng Xiao still wanted them to partic.i.p.ate in the drama. The addition of handsome men and beautiful women would definitely increase the viewership ratings. “If we tell Mr. Zhuang that he can act as a couple with Miss Tan Rou in the drama, I’m sure Mr. Zhuang will be very happy to partic.i.p.ate.”
Tao Zheng seemed to have been persuaded by Meng Xiao. “If that’s the case, Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law can also play two cameo roles. They can play a newlywed couple.”
Meng Xiao really began to design the scene. “We can arrange two scenes. One will take place on a university campus. When the male and female leads confess, there will be a couple watching from the side. They can cheer for the two leads at the same time.”
Tao Zheng added, “Big Brother said that he wants to bring Big Sister-in-law to the beach to play, but he hasn’t had the chance yet. Then, we can arrange a play by the beach when the weather is warm. Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law can partic.i.p.ate in it.”
Meng Xiao clapped her hands and cheered. “They won’t have too many scenes. There will only be one or two lines. It’s similar to hiding surprises for the audience in a TV series. It will definitely be very interesting.”
Tao Zheng and Meng Xiao were chatting happily. Tan Rou, who was beside them, couldn’t interrupt.
She interrupted them helplessly. “My dear great director and screenwriter, can you talk about this later? Ah Liu and I haven’t agreed to partic.i.p.ate in the show yet, right? Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law also have no intention of partic.i.p.ating.”
However, Meng Xiao was not worried. “I saw Miss Tian Tian at the company last time. She kept staring at our poster in a daze and said that the person on the poster was really beautiful! This time, we’ve invited the person she mentioned to be the female lead. If she sees this, she’ll definitely be very happy to partic.i.p.ate in our TV series.”
Tan Rou really didn’t know what to say. She had always heard that artists had some romantic cells in them. Tao Zheng liked photography and could be considered an artist. Sometimes, she could see romantic colors in him. Meng Xiao’s appearance allowed Tao Zheng to find a soulmate. She was also a very romantic person. She liked the camera and beauty. The two of them often had the same thoughts.
“Second Brother, are you the director of this shoot?” Tan Rou asked.
Tao Zheng replied, “I’m just a director by name. The real director is someone who’s more capable in filming school dramas in the industry. However, I’m in charge of the filming this time. I’ll still follow the crew.”
Meng Xiao continued, “This is a low-budget production. We don’t have that much money. Why don’t we invite so many big stars? Miss Tan Rou, please come and partic.i.p.ate in the production.”
Tan Rou smiled. “Let me go back and discuss this with Ah Liu. If he’s willing to do so, I’ll join as well.”
