198 Chapter 198. Are You Filming?
“What about me? I didn’t do anything bad recently.” Zhuang Huai asked curiously.
Zhuang Ming stood up and looked at him from the corner of his eyes. He said coldly, “You’ve taken too long with this movie. Your mother is already a little annoyed with you. Hurry up and join the crew to end this!”
Zhuang Huai feigned a weak smile and looked up at Zhuang Ming. “Who said I was delayed? I’m going on set tonight! If it weren’t because I wanted to wait for my sister to come back and discuss with her our director wanting to invite her to be the second female lead in this movie, I would have packed my things and left long ago!”
Zhuang Ming ignored the unimportant information and asked directly, “Filming? Is your director inviting Xian ‘er? Why? You recommended her?”
“I wanted to recommend her, but before I could say anything, the director told me he wanted to talk to her first. If she agrees, she can directly join the crew!” Zhuang Huai explained.
“But Xian ‘er isn’t a celebrity. Why would they have such thoughts?” Zhuang Ming asked in confusion.
Zhuang Huai touched the back of his head and was a little confused. “I don’t know the exact reason, but I heard the director and producer mention it. They said that my sister’s temperament is very suitable for this role. They also said that when we started shooting that day, the scriptwriter had his eyes on my sister at first sight! Don’t tell me the scriptwriter suggested it to the director?”
Zhuang Ming looked at Zhuang Huai and didn’t say anything. He didn’t think that this matter was impossible. It was just that Zhuang Xian’s school term was about to start, and these two matters were a little conflicting.
It wasn’t a bad idea to experience filming. Zhuang Ming and Lin En were open-minded parents who respected their children’s wishes. The most important thing was for their children to be interested in something.
Zhuang Ming thought about it and said, “You should ask your sister what she thinks! Your mother and I support you two experiencing different things.”
When Zhuang Huai heard this, he silently nodded his head. When he turned to look at Zhuang Xian, he realized that she and his mother were looking in their direction!
Zhuang Xian saw Zhuang Huai looking over and called out to them, “Dad, third brother! What are you two talking about? You were so engrossed in it that you didn’t hear me.”
Zhuang Huai and Zhuang Ming looked at each other before they got up and walked toward them. He got close to Zhuang Xian and handed her the script. “Do you want to go to the production team with me and experience the life of an actress? I’ve read the script, and it suits you. If you’re acting in it, you’ll act as yourself so that it won’t be difficult!”
Zhuang Xian looked at the script that Zhuang Huai handed her and asked in a daze, “Third brother, what do you mean by this? Do you want me to film a movie with you? And my role?”
Seeing that Zhuang Huai had nodded, she furrowed her brows and continued to ask, “Do I look like someone who can act? Third brother, did you bribe the crew? We don’t care about getting in through the back door!”
Zhuang Huai felt like crying but had no tears. He laughed and said, “I say, sister, where’s your usual self-confidence? Can’t you be more confident? You’re Zhuang Huai’s little sister. It’s already beneath you to play a supporting role, alright? I think you should be the female lead!”
Zhuang Xian looked at Zhuang Huai indifferently, clearly not taking his words to heart.
Our future Best Actor, seeing that his sister didn’t believe him, said helplessly, “Why would I lie to you in front of Mom and Dad? Am I not afraid of getting beaten up?”
Zhuang Ming looked at his helpless son and laughed. “What the third brother said is true. Even if we lend him ten times the courage, he won’t dare to lie to us! But then again, Xian ‘er, if you’re interested, you can try.”
Lin En heard their conversation and turned to look at Zhuang Xian. With such a beautiful face, it would be a pity if she did not go to the film.
Seeing that his father had spoken up for him, Zhuang Huai hurriedly recounted what had happened earlier.
When Zhuang Xian heard this, she did not have much of a reaction in her heart. However, Lin En was very excited.
She grabbed Zhuang Xian’s arm and said excitedly, “Xian ‘er, look at how the scriptwriter and director say you can do it. Why don’t you give it a try? It’s just the second female lead so you won’t have many scenes.
