Director Wang Sheng had dinner and also liked to take a walk nearby.
He saw Sheng Tang and Qian Zhe Lin in the pavilion and planned to go over and say hello.
Unexpectedly, he had just approached a little bit and heard Qian Zhe Lin complaining about him.
These complaints, Wang Sheng was aware of, he knew that his collaboration with the actors wouldn’t be too pleasant. But hearing it firsthand, he still felt very uncomfortable.
However, Sheng Tang’s words made his heart feel a little warm.
In the entire crew, the person most qualified to act like a prima donna should be Sheng Tang, because the money for the shoot was invested by her boyfriend for her; without her, there wouldn’t be this crew.
But she was the most dedicated in the whole crew, her acting was the best, and she was the most beautiful and amiable.
Wang Sheng graduated from Japan’s Film Academy, majoring in the directing department. He worked as an assistant director in Japan for two years, then returned to develop his career, upgrading from assistant director to co-director.
It’s just that the films they directed didn’t do well at the box office, not even the directors had much chance to shine, let alone co-directors.
Others couldn’t find his specific resume online, thinking he was a newcomer. Actually, he had been going around different film sets for seven or eight years.
This time, his good friend Luo Yishan switched jobs, ambitiously becoming a producer himself and dragged him into the pit... into the team.
He thought it was impossible to succeed.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Tang’s boyfriend, that money-spending fool, was actually willing to invest in a no-name producer, director, and a totally unknown script.
It’s really easy to deceive rich second-generation kids.
Though thinking this, Wang Sheng and the producer still put their heart and soul into this film. If this film didn’t get any response, they wouldn’t even know where their next meal would come from.
This is their livelihood.
This is why Wang Sheng repeatedly refined a single shot, striving for perfection.
He just forgot that the actors in front of the camera are human, not props. Being tortured repeatedly like this, they would break down.
But Sheng Tang supported the director.
Wang Sheng recalled what the producer said about Sheng Tang: "She was originally an excellent student at the Film Academy, then got involved with producer Xi Lingtu, which led to her being blacklisted.
Unexpectedly, she turned around and hooked up with a rich second-generation kid, this woman is really something. You can offend anyone, but you can’t offend her."
Wang Sheng heard this and didn’t take it to heart: "Not that bad, right? Rich kids aren’t blind, I think Sheng Tang is quite beautiful."
Producer Luo Yishan thought and said: "Actually, there’s something quite strange — Film Academy teacher Jin Ruitian, who is the mentor of many big stars, has quite a network in this city’s circle.
She was also Sheng Tang’s class advisor. After Sheng Tang had trouble, she kept recommending Sheng Tang to her friends, although the results weren’t very good."
Upon hearing this, the director became very interested.
"... Sheng Tang made a mistake, yet her class advisor still supports her, showing true affection for her. From this, we can see that Sheng Tang’s character has redeeming qualities," Luo Yishan added.
Wang Sheng now recalled these words and understood one thing: Sheng Tang getting involved with Xi Lingtu was definitely a setup.
Her teacher knew her character and didn’t blame her, still seeking opportunities for her.
From this point, we can glimpse that Sheng Tang’s character isn’t bad.
Wang Sheng also heard her praise of him today, and the uncertainties in his heart vanished all of a sudden.
He took a deep breath and decided to do a good job with this film. He suddenly realized that it’s not only he and the producer who poured their hearts into it, but also Sheng Tang.
He couldn’t let down her expectations.
