TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 408: Truly Becoming 'Shang Zhongyong'

Shao Dong's eyes were filled with worry, and Mu Jingzhe burst into laughter. "It's okay. What could happen to me? I was angry before, but I'm fine now.”

Although Mu Jingzhe said that he was fine, he suddenly said that he wanted to make glutinous rice cakes when he returned from Li Fang's house. Then, he started making glutinous rice cakes in the courtyard. Only after he broke out in a cold sweat in the winter did he stop.

That night, Mu Jingzhe, who had eaten brown sugar glutinous rice, fell asleep feeling tired. The next day, Mu Jingzhe and the others left the Great Eastern Village.

Afterwards, Mu Jingzhe, Li Zhaodi, and the four children tried their best to ignore the news about Xiao Wu and Shao Qiyun. Even Shao Qihai no longer paid attention.

Relationships will slowly fade. When there are too many disappointments, there will be no more hope left.

After the New Year, Mu Jingzhe entered a busy state again. He and Little Bei went to the ancient drama production team they had agreed to work on before.

Long before filming began, the main cast went on to the production team for training. Since it was a period drama, the actors had to participate in training to learn to talk and walk. To achieve the desired effect, they must learn historical knowledge and etiquette so that they can better portray the character.

The production team is very serious. Little Bei had also come to train for a few days before, but he had been training for a long time, so he did not need as much time as everyone else.

After the official filming began, there was no shortage of teachers on the production team. Etiquette, clothing, and everything else is very accurate.

Although just shooting a television drama, the seriousness is the same as in film production. Or rather, it was more beautiful than in a regular movie.

Mu Jingzhe liked the serious way of doing things and felt that he had also learned a lot. In addition to filming every day, Little Bei also liked talking to history teachers and crew invited experts.

Little Bei's role is more complicated. At the initial stage, she was an innocent little girl. He could grow without worry, but circumstances did not allow him to do so. In the midst of a power struggle, he married someone at the age of ten.

She was only ten years old and had a gentle face, but she was still forced to comb her hair in the style of a married woman.

The character undergoes major transformations in the early and late stages. The little girl had to change in a short period of time within a year. Apart from her gentle face, the look in her eyes made it seem as if she had undergone many changes in life. It was a huge test for his acting skills. Everyone was worried that Little Bei would not be able to portray the character well, but after a few adjustments, Little Bei managed to act perfectly.

The director's attitude towards Little Bei seemed to change. He kept saying that they should collaborate again in the future.

Of course, the director was also very satisfied with Mu Jingzhe and continued to admire how wonderful his work was. Later on, he even mentioned Xiao Wu and said that the television drama needed grand music. He expressed his desire to collaborate with Xiao Wu.

In the past, this would have been a very encouraging thing, but this time, it was just awkward. He could only tell the director that he could not make any decisions about Xiao Wu right now. If the director wanted to work with him, he would have to contact him himself.

Everyone sensed something different and wisely stopped mentioning Xiao Wu in front of Mu Jingzhe.

Mu Jingzhe stopped paying attention to Xiao Wu and completely severed all ties with this youngest son of his. Despite being extremely childish, Xiao Wu seemed very satisfied and never contacted him again. He was just looking after Shao Qiyun every day like a filial child.

Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei stayed on the production team for a period of time. They were busy working and they tried their best to forget about Xiao Wu. No one would mention Xiao Wu anymore. However, when the director mentioned Xiao Wu, it seemed like 'the Xiao Wu switch' had been revived. Then, from time to time, they would hear news about Xiao Wu.

At first, there was no news of it, but slowly, people began to talk about the exorbitant price Xiao Wu was asking for. Even his reputation was affected.

Shao Qiyun was the one negotiating, so everyone had a deep impression of her. Later, there were reports that Xiao Wu had changed her mind halfway through and now refused to acknowledge her adoptive mother, only acknowledging her current biological mother.

In the past, Xiao Wu's identity had caused quite a lot of discussion. At that moment, some people had supported Xiao Wu, and others said that she was still her biological mother. Despite the disagreements on the matter, they had accepted the fact that Xiao Wu would not acknowledge her biological mother.

In the end, after such a long time, Xiao Wu completely retracted his words. She even personally contacted reporters and said in an interview that Shao Qiyun was her biological mother and she had nothing to do with Mu Jingzhe anymore. He hoped that everyone would not report this inaccurately in the future.

Based on this, the production team understood why Mu Jingzhe no longer mentioned Xiao Wu. After the report was published, Xiao Wu was scolded again and people called him ungrateful. However, Xiao Wu had no intention of clarifying anything. He just said that this was what his birth mother wanted.

It turned out that Shao Qiyun was dissatisfied with the fact that everyone only remembered that Xiao Wu's mother was Mu Jingzhe, so she specifically published a report to clarify this matter.

As Mu Jingzhe left the production team halfway through, he heard more news about Xiao Wu. The reason Xiao Wu picked up so many movies and television shows was to earn money. The money he had earned earlier was not enough to splurge, as he wanted to buy a car and jewelry for Shao Qiyun.

Originally, when Shao Qiyun came back, it was said that she had changed. However, the original color was quickly revealed. Watches, gold, silver jewelry, clothes, and all that cost money. Although Xiao Wu could earn money, he could not keep up with the speed at which he spent money. That's why he took so much work.

The price he was wearing had increased, and the speed he worked at also increased. However, among the jobs that Xiao Wu had submitted, only a portion met the previous standards, whereas the rest were very ordinary.

It may not be so bad, but some people say that he is no longer as inspired as before and his music is not contagious anymore.

"Shang Zhongyong[1]" is mentioned again. Shao Qiyun immediately replied that Xiao Wu's work was still outstanding. As long as he had the time, he would even play it for him every day. He was very protective.

Unlike Mu Jingzhe, who did not stand out, Shao Qiyun, his current mother, was different. He is very enthusiastic about appearing in front of the camera and is very willing to be interviewed by journalists. He would even go to events with Xiao Wu.

In the past, Xiao Wu was very unwilling to accept interviews or go to other events. He remains low profile. However, after she stayed with Shao Qiyun, she became very famous. Since Shao Qiyun said that she liked it, she went to this event. Not only did she want him to show her face, but Shao Qiyun would think of a way to show her own face and speak at all times. He would always say this Xiao Wu and that Xiao Wu, obviously very eager to play the image of a loving mother and son with Xiao Wu.

He likes the feeling of being watched by everyone. He also wanted to earn money and become famous. She did not give up on acting and she still wanted to become a movie star like any other beautiful woman.

He felt that, with his good looks, he had actually fulfilled the task. Sometimes, he even used this as a condition when one wanted to work with Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu could work with them, but they had to include them.

However, Xiao Wu's situation was a little special. He did not know many people, and his foundation was still unstable. Previously, with the help of Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buwang, everything went smoothly. Now that the foolish and money-crazed Shao Qiyun had taken over, after interacting with her once, people immediately put off.

Even those who previously had a good impression of Xiao Wu and wanted to collaborate with him quickly became frightened.

While Shao Qiyun still felt that everything was going very well, their situation was actually slowly deteriorating. Instead, the situation of Dong, Nan, Xi, and Bei continued to improve.
