Zheng Weiwei looked at the producer Wang Xi with a complicated expression.
Wang Xi was completely stunned.
At first, he thought Sheng Tang was unreliable and said she had offended the local gang.
Even if Sheng Tang knew Ding Ruifan, so what?
Ding Ruifan starred in several movies that grossed over five billion, making him a top figure in the film industry. But what does his capability have to do with Sheng Tang?
Now, Wang Xi understood—it has a lot to do with her!
If Ding Ruifan visited the set alone and quietly, Wang Xi or others in the crew might suspect Sheng Tang was his lover. But he brought his assistant, wife, and children, which means Sheng Tang is a family friend.
In the film industry, he can openly and strongly support Sheng Tang.
Over there, Mrs. Ding exchanged a few words with Zheng Weiwei, then walked over to speak with Sheng Tang.
The two of them chatted happily, and the children of the Ding family circled around Sheng Tang, indicating that her relationship with the Ding couple was very good, and she was a friend of their family.
In the afternoon, the filming went smoothly.
Afterwards, Ding Ruifan and his wife left with their children.
Before leaving, Mrs. Ding said to Zheng Weiwei, "If you need anything, just give me a call. We know some people in the city and might be able to help with small matters."
Mrs. Ding used to be a well-known producer, and her connections in the industry were not inferior to Ding Ruifan’s.
Zheng Weiwei thanked her repeatedly.
Mrs. Ding added, "Our junior sister is quite straightforward, please take care of her."
Both Zheng Weiwei and the producer, director, and others heard this.
Everyone agreed and praised Sheng Tang’s acting skills and beauty.
After the Ding couple left, the atmosphere on the set became slightly subtle.
Sheng Tang’s makeup artist suddenly became much more enthusiastic towards her, unlike the cold attitude in the morning.
Producer Wang Xi was still in a daze.
Zheng Weiwei nudged him, "What’s got you daydreaming?"
"Sheng Tang, she..." Wang Xi seemed to have a thousand words but didn’t know where to start, "She’s so low-key!"
With Ding Ruifan backing her, she didn’t need to confront Lei Yanhui, indeed very low-key.
Zheng Weiwei was quite satisfied.
She knew Sheng Tang’s capabilities.
Back then, Sheng Tang was the girlfriend of Young Master Gu from the Huishi Gu family. Zheng Weiwei only learned of this as Lan Fei’s identity got spread within the circle.
Of course, Lan Fei’s identity still isn’t an open secret; only a few know that she is the eldest daughter of the Huishi Gu family.
"You haven’t seen her at her most low-key," Zheng Weiwei remarked with various implications.
Producer Wang Xi didn’t have a major issue with Sheng Tang, as long as she didn’t cause trouble for the crew. Now that the issue was resolved, Wang Xi let out a big sigh of relief and found Sheng Tang much more agreeable.
After the afternoon filming ended, there was a celebration feast for the start of production in the evening.
Sheng Tang sat at the table with the male and female leads.
Unlike the previous script reading session, female lead Wen Yu took the initiative to greet Sheng Tang warmly. She even put her arm around Sheng Tang’s shoulders and clinked glasses with her.
The not-so-enthusiastic male lead, Feng Yanqiu, also took the initiative to compliment Sheng Tang’s beautiful makeup today.
It seemed like, in an instant, everyone’s attitude had changed.
Sheng Tang was quite grateful to Ding Ruifan and his wife.
She knew they had heard what Lei Yanhui had said and came specifically to support her, worried that she might struggle on set.
Sheng Tang felt very warm inside.
She knew her luck was gradually turning for the better.
Five years of bad luck were worth it. The only regret was losing her grandmother.
Too many people toasted Sheng Tang, making her seem like the leading actress. Though she wasn’t good at drinking, she couldn’t refuse since the crew wanted to get on her good side.
It was a necessary social obligation.
Later, she started to feel a bit drunk.
