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

Chapter 92: Moral Degeneration

“Not your biological child?” When the old man heard that, he judged Ji Buwang with a strange look. Is she a cheating wife?

Ji Buwang sensed something was wrong and quickly explained, “No, Brother, this is not what you think. I'm talking about being a stepfather.”

"Stepfather? Are you going to be a stepfather? And stepfather of five children to boot?” The old man's gaze became increasingly strange, as if he was staring at a beautiful-looking gigolo.

Ji Buwang looked around and hurriedly reassured this restless old man. He couldn't let the kids hear this.

“Sister, I just asked. Don't take it seriously. Sorry to bother you."

Parents can't help but take it seriously. Even as he left the school, he continued to grumble. 'What did the young man think?' Then, he continued to mutter about how the moral decline of the world was getting worse by the day.

After driving the old man away, Ji Buwang felt that he was too rash. He should not have asked so aimlessly. He should be more careful.

Maybe he could try interacting with those kids again.

Ji Buwang felt that he could try interacting with Little Bei first, as the little girl had a good personality and had the best relationship with Mu Jingzhe.

However, he did not have a chance because Little Bei had some good news again.

True to his words, the director actually recommended Little Bei to his friend. That friend was a film director surnamed Lu.

Due to the high praise from his old friend and the fact that he had seen Little Bei perform and cry, Director Lu decided to come and see Little Bei himself.

He did not inform the school. He immediately came to look for Little Bei.

How could Little Bei know that this was his director? He saw that he kept looking at her. At first, he asked if something was wrong, but then, he realized that he looked abnormal. One moment, she asked him to cry, and the next moment, she asked him to laugh. He thought he had met a madman.

Because of this, he found an opportunity to search for teachers, who in turn brought some male teachers carefully. Only then did Director Lu realize what Little Bei thought of him.

He laughed out loud and said that Little Bei was smart before he revealed his identity. Then, he asked Little Bei to audition.

Upon seeing, Director Lu immediately decided on Little Bei. "That's you. You are the Xiao Jiu I was looking for!”

Just like that, Little Bei was chosen as the female lead.

When Mu Jingzhe came to pick up Little Bei and found out about this, his first reaction was to think that the man was a fraud. After all, the audition process was strange.

Facing Mu Jingzhe's watchful gaze, Director Lu gave her a plain and simple smile.

“Halo, Little Bei's mother. I am Lu Chenglin. I am the director.”.

After Director Lu's introduction, Mu Jingzhe became less vigilant, but there was a bit of confusion.

From his voice, he suspected that this Director Lu was the one who had sharp eyes in Little Bei's previous life who had hunted Little Bei to make him the main leader. In the end, this role allowed Little Bei to become the youngest film queen.

But isn't this something that will happen three or four years later? Why is he looking for her now?

Only after hearing Director Lu's explanation did he understand what was going on.

Lu Chenglin did not start as a director. He has actually been a writer in the past. Later, he changed careers and became a screenwriter. He also taught himself how to be a cameraman. Later, he worked as a cameraman and also wrote scripts.

Recently, she has written a script, but the director she works with does not want to film it. Therefore, he wanted to attract investment and film it himself.

He was lucky enough to get funding. Although not much, he would be able to produce the film if he persisted and kept an eye on the budget. Casting is a problem.

This is because the script is relatively special. The female lead was a small child, and her supporting role was also a small child. The female lead is a patient with hearing loss. There were high expectations for this young actress, as she had to play someone who could neither hear nor speak. He even had to know how to cry.

In the end, he boldly embarks on an adventure to find his father. This is the story of him finally finding his father after going through many things with the help of many people.

Based on the storyline, it seemed like it was completely adapted to Little Bei's previous life.

“I tell the general story because I want to convince parents about the kind of work we do. I'm afraid we won't be able to find an actress, but it's okay now.”

Mu Jingzhe guessed that in his previous life, the director had not managed to find a suitable actor. In the end, by the time he finally found Little Bei and put it in the film, he was getting older, so the director had to change the age of the main character. Now that Little Bei had been discovered before, there was no need to change it, right?

Little Bei was very willing to act, and Director Lu was very sincere. The teacher also said that there was nothing wrong with his identity, so they immediately signed a contract.

At the age of six, she was chosen to be the female lead in the film. Little Bei has been found before.

Unlike Little Nezha's part, although Little Bei had been chosen, a lot of preparation was needed to start filming. Director Lu went to prepare in high spirits and said that he would wait for Little Bei to join the production team.

During this period, Little Bei can also try to understand the circumstances and feelings of deaf and mute people. Little Bei nodded seriously. He did so and changed his speech habits. Later, he even wanted to learn sign language.

It is uncertain if they will need sign language in the film. Director Lu didn't say it either, but Little Bei wanted to learn it. Moreover, learning sign language was pretty good, so Mu Jingzhe supported her.

They had yet to find anyone who knew sign language, but after Ji Buwang learned this, he gave Mu Jingzhe the latest edition of the sign language book.

“It was made after discussion and formulation of more than 600 words and new gestures. It is considered the latest book in the country. If nothing goes wrong, it will become the standard of the future. You can be sure and make him learn from it. ”

“Oke, that's good. Thank you very much."

Little Bei was extremely serious as if he had found a precious treasure. Mu Jingzhe also studied a little with her. The boys were not picky and learned whatever they met.

Within two days, because Little Bei was unwilling to speak and only communicated in sign language with them, they replied with sign language. Even Xiao Wu seemed to be doing a good job by talking in it. The only exception was Mu Jingzhe, who was a poor student compared to children.

His learning ability was average, and he could not learn that fast. Besides, he was busy.

Mu Jingzhe: "You won't use this opportunity to vilify me in front of me, will you?"

Little Bei laughed. “Not possible, Mother. We love you so much.”

In fact, Mu Jingzhe had also learned some sign language in his previous life. This is because it is inevitable that some children in orphanages will have physical disabilities. There were also those who could not speak or hear, but he had only studied it for a while and had yet to master it. He's still a dabbler now.

"I'll learn it when I have time." Mu Jingzhe made up his mind.

In the end, he couldn't learn it well as the capable children continued to surprise him.

Shao Xi also gave him one.

A few days after she invited Little Bei to shoot, Shao Xi saw the notification in the district's cultural center. It was about a literary competition for the young people in the city.

This is the third time they have held a competition, and it is open to all SD, Junior High School, and High School students throughout the city. Shao Xi had sent out his entry before the deadline. He had not expected to receive any notice to attend the awards ceremony.

The invitation did not mention what awards Shao Xi had achieved, but according to tradition, anyone invited would usually receive the award.

“I will definitely get that award. I wrote the most words, a total of 5,000. ”

The competition is primarily for short to medium-sized essays, with word count requirements ranging from 2,000 words to no more than 30,000 words. The number of words that Shao Xi wrote fell within that range.

He had previously written relatively short essays, so 5,000 words was indeed a lot.
