Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 239 Meeting the Director

The filming location of the crew is located in a rather remote place. As the nanny car continued to move forward, the surrounding environment became more and more desolate. Pedestrians and buildings gradually disappeared from the field of vision, and were replaced by more and more large and small puddles.

As they continued to drive forward, they finally saw a large human gathering area. There were many vehicles parked here, and various tents were set up next to them. Seeing this scene, Xu Weiwei knew that they were almost at their destination.

The crew was crowded and bustling, and everyone was in a hurry, as if there was an invisible force behind them driving them. Some people were jogging along with heavy filming equipment; some were reading the script while rehearsing their lines; and some were gathered around the director, discussing the details of the next scene... The whole scene seemed extremely busy, but orderly in chaos.

Following Jiang Linlin, everyone she met along the way greeted her warmly and politely.

"Sister Jiang!"

"Sister Jiang is here!"

"It's so early today!"

"..."

Jiang Linlin just nodded slightly in response. Her movements were graceful and natural, but her eyes were indifferent and distant. This surprised Xu Weiwei, who was standing by. After all, this was the first time she saw her aunt so powerful.

Xu Weiwei thought to herself, "The queen of the screen is really different. Everyone respects her so much. It's so cool."

They were inevitably attracted some attention when they walked with Jiang Linlin. However, most of the people working in the crew were quite sensible, and even if they were curious about these unfamiliar faces, they would not stare at them.

Some people who usually follow the news recognized Mrs. Seaforth and covered their mouths in surprise.

In this way, they arrived at the director's studio without any obstacles. As soon as they entered, Jiang Linlin shouted in a clear and loud voice: "Director, look who's coming with me!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a cry of "Ouch!" and the director jumped up from his chair as if he had been electrocuted. He quickly straightened his clothes, walked forward with a smile on his face and humbled himself, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Hello, hello!" That smile seemed to be able to squeeze out oil.

Mrs. Seaforth stretched out her well-maintained right hand. The director saw it and wiped his palm on his clothes embarrassedly before holding it. After shaking it for a moment, he immediately let go.

"Why did you come here in person? I should have been the one to meet you. Look at where I am... it's too shabby, haha... please sit down, sit here!"

The director gave up his seat, picked up the coat on the back of the chair, wiped the dust off the surface of the seat, and threw it aside after use. The flattering look made the other staff in the room open their eyes and laugh in their hearts. The director who usually always shouts and acts arrogant will also have this day.

Mrs. Seaforth walked over gracefully, lifted her skirt and sat down, with her buttocks taking up only one-third of the chair. Xu Weiwei was held in her arms, and Kane stood on the same side of Xu Weiwei, with his back straight and his eyes calm, already having the aura of an heir to a large family.

"These two must be your precious pearl and beloved son, right? They look exactly like you and General Siphos! Hehe!"

Although he was praising two people, the director's eyes never left Xu Weiwei. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were piled up like mountains because of his smile.

Mrs. Seaforth, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke slowly: "Linlin told us yesterday that you hope Wei'er will participate in the performance. To be honest, my husband and I are opposed to it."

The director smiled awkwardly and said nothing, but continued to wait for Mrs. Seaforth to finish.

"But Linlin is my sister-in-law. She takes great care of Wei'er. I see it and remember it in my heart. Wei'er also wants to help her aunt." Mrs. Sivers said slowly.

Hearing this, the director knew that the matter had been settled, and a big stone in his heart was lifted. He was happy from the bottom of his heart.

"But there are a few things we need to discuss in advance."

"You say it! You say it!"

"First, Wei'er must use a pseudonym. The crew cannot reveal her real identity, let alone use her for publicity. I don't want to see any marketing materials about her online."

"Otherwise we will be in great trouble." Although Mrs. Seaforth had a smile on her face, the smile did not reach her eyes. Instead, it carried a strong sense of oppression.

The director's plan was ruined. He felt guilty when he saw Mrs. Seaforth's look. He dodged for a moment, then quickly regained his composure and said firmly, "Don't worry! I know my limits! I will never disclose your daughter's privacy!"

"That's good."

"Secondly, I must review the filming content in advance. If I think there are safety risks, the crew needs to cooperate in making changes. I hope this can be written into Wei'er's contract."

The director looked embarrassed, as this condition directly threatened the quality of the film.

For a mermaid theme, we definitely have to go into the water. If Mrs. Seaforth feels that the whole thing is unsafe, then we can’t do it.

The director gritted his teeth and said, "Um... can I ask your definition of 'danger'? This character has some underwater scenes... but we won't let the actors hold their breath for too long! And since we are shooting in a fixed water area, we will definitely take safety measures!"

Mrs. Seaforth paused for a few seconds, then asked, "Can you show me her script?"

"sure, no problem!"

"Type out another script for the character 'Meruru'!"

As soon as the director gave the order, a staff member sitting in front of the computer started to work quickly. In less than a few seconds, the printer next to it spit out the script they needed.

The director took the still warm paper, blew on it twice, and then handed it to Mrs. Seaforth.

Everyone in the room was caught off guard by his action. They failed to control their facial expressions and showed disgust.

Mrs. Seaforth read the thin pages from beginning to end, then looked up and said to the anxiously waiting director, "At present, there is nothing wrong with the content above. It is acceptable."

The director breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing his palms expectantly and asked, "How about we try on the costumes and go through the play now? No, let's just go through the play! There's no problem with her image, we can save time and sign the contract right away if she passes the audition."

Mrs. Seaforth agreed: "Okay."

"Come here! Little beauty, can you read?" The director knelt on one knee in front of Xu Weiwei, holding the script in his hand and explaining the scene to her.

"Look, you have to treat your aunt as your mother. You two were separated by an accident. When you see her again, you have to show the emotional transition of doubt, speculation, grievance and anger..."
