In reality, even Tangning herself had yet to see the full version of 'Stupid'. When the crew sat down for the test screening, she was filming 'WH'. So, during pre-play, his mind followed the flow of public reaction.
To him, it felt like 'Stupid' was struggling to survive.
"As you progress, 3 movies a year should be your limit. So, in the next half of the year, I'll help you pick up one more movie. After that, you can wholeheartedly focus on preparing the child."
That night, the couple looked through the script in the study room. Mo Ting browsed through everything quickly and put it away.
"I'll do as you say .." Tangning replied as she leaned against Mo Ting's back, "I love the future you've planned for us."
Hearing Tangning's reply, Mo Ting's lips curved upwards in satisfaction.
"I want you to go home with the Fei Tian Best Newcomer Award this year."
"You believe me so much?" Tangning placed the script in her hands and buried her head on Mo Ting's back. "How's 'Stupid', I'm very curious about its development."
"Mrs Mo, do you doubt your husband's abilities?" Mo Ting turned around and raised an eyebrow.
"Of course not. I'm naturally anxious because this isn't an industry I know."
"Quiet," Mo Ting wrapped Tangning in his arms and pulled her into his lap. "You haven't seen it, have you? Wait until the second pre-screening, we'll watch it together."
"Is that good?"
"The best critics in the industry have stepped out to vouch for you. What do you think?" Mo Ting raised his eyebrows slightly, "This is the first time you've been so insecure."
"I can't control it ..."
"Let me teach you how to control it," Mo Ting sat Tangning beside him and continued, "The film market is not difficult to understand. Everything related to the entertainment industry is very similar. You're just scared by your rivals.bullying."
"Don't look at anyone else. Just look at yourself."
"From screenwriter, cast, to director and production; we had the courage to hold three pre-screenings because we had faith in our film. Hai Rui has always been a leader in its field. We don't care about that, compared to our rivals, we just focus on our strengths and take advantage of what we have around us."
After listening to Mo Ting, Tangning let out a gentle laugh, "In the end, your main point is that you have confidence in the film."
"of course. I always have good judgment."
As Mo Ting spoke, his eyes were full of confidence and his body exuded a king-like presence.
This was the Mo Ting that fascinated Tangning the most.
Her husband's ability was never questioned. So, towards 'Stupid', he slowly let go of his worries. Instead, his body now felt completely refreshed.
...
"Yes God! A failed assessment! Tangning's acting was very good."
"I don't care about anything else. Let's focus on 'Stupid'. All I saw throughout the film was the character Tangning played, there was no trace of Tangning herself. This movie turned out to be great..."
"I wouldn't say Tangning's acting skills are amazing, but I admit it's enough to beat her rival's movie. However, she was from a model background!"
"If Tangning's character was given to one of the popular young actresses, that character would make everyone want to slap her in the face. But, the way Tangning played the character turned out to be very likable."
"It was clear to see that the person who defamed Tangning's acting earlier, did so with ill intentions. At least I don't feel disgusted by his acting! I must have sided with 'Stupid'. I wish them all the best."
Suddenly going online, those who had been watching 'Stupid' stepped out to vouch for Tangning. Compared to the exaggerated 'Devil Shooter', 'Stupid' was well produced and executed seriously.
Although both films still vary in popularity, positive reviews for 'Stupid' helped them move forward...
Apart from the film itself being spectacular, Tangning was the most pleasant surprise. This is partly thanks to the defamation of 'Devil Shooter'.
If movie fans didn't have the lowest expectations for Tangning from the start, how could they be so shocked after seeing her on screen?
As a result, due to their curiosity towards Tangning, many people expressed their interest for the second pre-screening. But, the number of screenings did not change due to demand. This was all part of Mo Ting's plan. He didn't want to satisfy everyone too quickly. They will have to wait until the official release.
Two days later, the second pre-screening began. Just like last time, Mo Ting invited some 'special' guests'. This includes business partners and well-known directors. Her motive was simple, she wanted those who doubted Tangning to see that there was nothing wrong with her acting and gave them the confidence to submit any offers.
Mo Ting was unaffected by the interference from the 'Demon Shooter'. As always, he is quick in making decisions and working efficiently.
During this 'special' screening, Tangning and Mo Ting also sat in the audience; this was Tangning's first time watching a finished movie.
It was a strange feeling for Tangning. Especially when you see your own name appear on the screen. A sense of honor was something she never felt as a model.
Next to Tangning sat Mo Ting.
He was focused on the film all the time. Even during Tangning's kiss scenes and bed scenes, she didn't give much of a reaction.
This was because she did not consider the characters on screen to be Tangning.
It was a strange feeling for him ...
The two-hour film was compact and after experiencing several reversals, it was finally revealed that the embarrassing dumb student turned out to be the son of an athlete and a genius at swimming ...
Time passes quickly. It was only after the theater lights were turned on that everyone acknowledged that the film was finished.
In the film, his son stands on the awards podium and reveals that his father has left him several times. At this moment, the spectators watching the movie felt like the anger in their hearts had also been released. Especially when he announced his father's name in front of the rest of the world, everything finally felt like it was over.
This is not a movie that is suitable for the mainstream market. But, it was surprisingly entertaining.
It was not very attractive and did not display a fresh handsome face, but it was unforgettable.
Most importantly, even to the end, no one believed that the tragic actress in the film was played by Tangning. It was only after the movie ended and they checked the names of the cast, that they made sure that it was really him.
Tangning's!
How could a supermodel have such good acting skills?!
This was a huge blow to everyone who doubted him.
It seems that, whether she is a model or an actress, she can use reality to prove that there is nothing she cannot do.
