"In what way do I make you unhappy? Don't tell me that taking a simple leave is enough for you to completely deny my abilities."
"Do you really think that your acting is better than Gu Heng? In my eyes, you are still far away from him!" the old man scoffed. "Don't get mad. Gu Heng's acting was consistent, whereas, you acted a lot in your scenes. Yes, you can use your talent to imagine you are the character you play, but you must remember you are a normal person. . You can't keep being someone else forever."
"Normal people have a limit to how much energy they can focus on one thing. So, your acting quality couldn't be better than Gu Heng in every scene..."
"For someone to act as someone else for a long period of time is impossible, unless they have multiple personality disorders."
Elder Mo evaluated Tangning's acting harshly. In fact, he did not state a single positive thing because he was constantly insulting her.
"More..."
"You seem like you're willing to give up anything, but deep down, you carry a sense of arrogance" the old man scolded. After speaking, she saw Tangning's expression not changing, so she calmed herself down, "It seems that you've already realized all this."
If he did not agree with her, he would have already exploded in anger like everyone else.
It wasn't that Tangning didn't care, but what the old man said was indeed true. So, he could not argue ...
Plus, in his eyes, this old man indeed had the right to scold him. After all, he was much more skilled than he was.
"Not bad. At least you have the mental capacity to know not to argue," the old man became light after glaring at Tangning for a while. "It's better to be scolded by me now than scolded by the audience later."
Tangning remained silent as she listened to the old man's chattering.
As the crew watched the old man scold Tangning, they were so afraid Tangning would leave or do something even scarier; after all, Mo Ting supported her. But, he instead stood still like a guilty disciple lectured by a teacher. She did not look embarrassed at all because she did feel she was wrong.
Actually, Tangning was using the best method to deal with the old man.
Because every time he scolded her a little, her anger would subside a little. In the end, he had nothing to complain about.
"If you want me to shoot with you, it's possible. But, you should be my assistant for one week and see how my mood is. Of course, I know you have a strong husband, so you can also complain to him. That you are being bullied and make him come talk to me."
Tangning looked at the old man and then looked at Wei An before she nodded her head, "OK."
"You really agreed quickly. Don't start crying later!" After speaking, the old man waved his fan and stood up.
Wei An immediately turned his head towards Tangning and asked, "Should I postpone your filming?"
"No need for Director Wei. Just try to schedule all my shouts this week for tonight. I can handle it. Don't delay the entire production progress because of me," Tangning replied sincerely.
"OKAY. If the old man bullies you too often, let me know," Wei An instructed.
"OK," Tangning nodded her head.
A while later, Song Yanshu rushed over to Tangning's side and apologized, "Ning Jie, sorry I'm a bit late. Should we tell President Mo about what happened?"
"You shouldn't regret it. Don't tell Mo Ting about this. I can handle it." After speaking, he immediately followed the old man. However, the old man did not stay at the hotel like the rest of the crew. He lives in a small house nearby. In her spare time, she would play with her cats and dogs or plant some plants in the garden.
"What do you want to eat?"
"guess. If you guess correctly, I'll eat it all ... Otherwise, you should continue cooking until you get it right," the old man grinned while resting on his bamboo chair.
Tangning looked at the old man and obediently nodded her head, "Please wait a moment ..."
elder Mo watched Tangning disappear into the kitchen and snorted softly, "Yesterday, you played with my granddaughter. Today, I'll teach you a lesson." In terms of eating, Elder Mo was the most picky in the family. Even when it came to expensive food, they had to check if the old man liked it first. If Tangning could understand her taste, her attention would probably calm her down for a few days.
Tangning had come to act, but she was now forced to wash clothes and cook for this old man. However, she did not feel annoyed at all. In fact, she felt it was quite pleasant.
After half an hour, 3 fine plates were placed on the dining table. As soon as the old man saw that it was a bland vegetable and knew, he was not happy, "Do you think I'm a goat?"
"Try it first," Tangning said as she handed her bowl and chopsticks.
The old man received the chopsticks and reluctantly picked up some vegetables. The moment he placed it in his mouth, a fragrant taste immediately made his senses feel like they had been awakened.
Mo Ting, the little bastard, was very lucky to find a wife who could cook so well. Tangning wasn't like the other cheap women out there.
But, she couldn't be lenient with Tangning. So, he put aside his chopsticks, "I don't want to eat such bland food..."
"Then I'll cook again," Tangning turned around without a second thought.
However, as soon as he turned around, the old man immediately finished off half of the plate in front of him. He then held a cat in his lap and pretended to have fed it to the cat.
After torturing Tangning for half a morning, the old man finally took a break and prepared to watch Bai Qiusheng and Gu Heng film their scenes. Throughout the time on set, the old man constantly told those around him how he would handle the scene if he were young. Everyone was fascinated by her analysis, including Tangning.
However, seeing her change from female lead to someone's assistant, the people on set felt a little unfair to her. Who is this old man and what is his deal? Why should the entertainment king's wife show him respect? Apparently, he wasn't just a parent with good acting.
But, no one had heard of this old man before.
Elder Hei; even when they searched the records 30 years ago, they were unable to find any information about him. What right would it have to torture Tangning like this?
Looking at the scene in front of her, the idea of replacing Tangning with Gu Heng once again came to Qiusheng's mind...
Since Elder Hei disliked Tangning so much, could he take advantage of her?
So, she ended up contacting Wei An personally, "Director Wei, if Tangning becomes an assistant, what will happen to her scene?"
"He'll film them at night ..."
"But .. it will delay my sleep. I can tolerate 1 or 2 days, but if for a long period of time, I refuse to accept it," Bai Qiusheng complained.
"What are you trying to say?" Wei An's eyes narrowed questioningly. Was Bai Qiusheng still thinking of doing something to Tangning?
"I just hope you make a reasonable decision ..."
