Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 241 "Platinum Limited Xu Weiwei"

"Come on! Let's act out a scene now, the one where the mother and daughter meet for the first time! Linlin, please cooperate and help her get into the mood. Bring me a camera!..."

Jiang Linlin lowered her head and stared at the ground, and began to empty her mind. When she looked up again, she was like a different person. The look she gave Xu Weiwei was filled with complex emotions, including surprise after getting what she wanted, cautiousness out of fear of scaring the other person, and guilt and heartache for owing her daughter for so many years.

Xu Weiwei was shocked by her aunt's superb acting skills at first, but she quickly came to her senses, remembered what she was going to do, and put on a vigilant look. Then, she followed the requirements of the script and showed the required emotions step by step.

Xu Weiwei can't act and doesn't know any techniques. Her only method is to imagine, putting herself into the role and feeling the character's joys, sorrows, anger and happiness. Gradually, a thin layer of mist filled her eyes.

It was not until the director shouted "cut" that Xu Weiwei blinked, trying hard to suppress the soreness that welled up in her nose.

There was complete silence around them. Xu Weiwei looked at the director suspiciously. How was her performance? Was her acting good or bad?

"That's great!" The director was so excited that he hit his thigh hard with the script rolled into a paper tube, his eyes shining and he looked like a madman.

Seeing this, Xu Weiwei couldn't help but silently take a half step back.

"It's real and natural! It's vivid enough! And it doesn't have the craftsmanship that old actors often have. It's great..."

The director checked his watch and said very quickly, "Draft the contract now and include the points Mrs. Seaforth just mentioned!"

Looking at the contract on the computer, the director personally modified the number in the salary column. On the one hand, it was to give the other party enough face, and on the other hand, he felt that Xu Weiwei was worth the price.

After showing the revised contract to Mrs. Seaforth, the director couldn't wait to say, "Please check if there are any other questions. If not, we can sign it."

It’s still early now, if I act quickly maybe I can get the last shot through this morning.

Xu Weiwei was too young, so the contract was signed by Mrs. Seaforth. There were two copies, one electronic and one paper.

Not only the director, but Xu Weiwei and Mrs. Sifoss also hoped to finish the filming as soon as possible, so they immediately cooperated with the crew to put on makeup, change clothes, and do their styling.

Xu Weiwei's hair is long and naturally curly, so she doesn't need any trimming. She just needs to change the color, let it down, and mess it up a bit.

The stylist used a one-time color spray, which does not change the original color of the hair, but only covers it with a new color.

After putting on the mask, Xu Weiwei sat motionless in the chair and let the stylist do her thing, as obedient as a mannequin. She watched her red hair slowly turn platinum in the mirror.

"Baby, your hair is so good. I'm so jealous. It's not only shiny, but also thick. This one-third of your hair is equivalent to the entire head of hair on my head."

The stylist shook the empty spray bottle in surprise, then asked his assistant to bring a new one.

In the end, I had to use up two bottles to color all my hair. Jiang Linlin was sitting next to me, she had already finished dyeing her hair and started putting on makeup.

Seeing this scene, he envied and said, "That's great. I also want hair like my elder sister and Wei'er, but unfortunately I have fine and soft hair. McQueen's hair seems to be thicker. I don't know whose hair our future children will take after, and what color their hair will be."

Hearing this, Xu Weiwei's breathing paused for a moment, then returned to normal, thinking to herself: No matter what it looks like, it must be a healthy and cute child, definitely.

After changing her clothes, Xu Weiwei looked completely different.

The long platinum hair was draped behind her head in a messy mess, as if she had been wandering for a long time and had not been combed. There were also green algae and other impurities in her hair.

The eyebrows and eyelashes are also the same color, making the whole person look as white as paper.

The clothes she was wearing had a wide collar, long sleeves, and looked ill-fitting. There were some stubborn stains on it that couldn't be washed off, and there were many places where it was snagged. Xu Weiwei almost thought it was bought from a flea market, but she was told that it was new but made to look old.

I can't help but sigh that the staff in charge of the costumes are really skilled.

"My sister is like a completely different person!" Kane widened his eyes, staring at the "Platinum Limited Edition" Selvie in front of him without blinking.

Then he took out a camera from his bag and took pictures of his sister, sighing as he took the pictures: "It's a pity that Ryan didn't come and see you like this."

"Is it strange?" Xu blinked slightly and asked his brother's opinion.

"No! It looks good!" Kane praised.

"Hehe," Xu Weiwei gave a silly smile.

Jiang Linlin squatted next to Xu Weiwei, hugged her and joked, "Now we look like mother and daughter, so don't be jealous, sister. Hahahaha!"

Mrs. Seaforth smiled and said, "Don't be jealous. I'll let you experience the feeling of having a child. Maybe you will want one too."

Jiang Linlin didn't refute a word, but lowered her eyes, looking gentle and shy.

McQueen leaned against the wall with his arms folded, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said calmly: "We both already have this plan. After the filming of this movie is finished, Linlin and I will start preparing for pregnancy."

"Really?!" Mrs. Seaforth asked in surprise.

"Could it be fake?" McQueen raised his left eyebrow, looking very serious.

"I don't want to hear you say it, is it true, Linlin?" Mrs. Sivers turned around to confirm with her brother and sister-in-law.

Jiang Linlin bit her lower lip and nodded embarrassedly.

Mrs. Seaforth was both happy and relieved: "This is a good thing. How did you get Linlin to agree?"

"Hey - Sister, you made it sound like I was using any means necessary. This is clearly a common idea between the two of us, right? To be honest, it was probably because Wei'er gave her a taste of the sweetness that aroused her maternal love."

Xu Weiwei turned her head suddenly: Hmm??? Me???

Mrs. Seaforth was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "I didn't expect Wei'er to be so useful. Then why is it that Kane and the others told your aunt that she didn't want to have a baby, but when it was Wei'er's turn, she wanted to have a baby? Aren't our Kanes sweet?"

Jiang Linlin blinked innocently: "Daughters and sons are different."

"Every time Wei'er hugged me and called me 'Aunt' in a soft voice, my maternal love overflowed and my desire to have a daughter reached its peak. After a long time, I finally couldn't resist the temptation. A daughter like Wei'er is simply here to repay my gratitude, and it is she who made me less afraid of raising a child."

Xu Weiwei didn't expect that her arrival would advance her uncle and aunt's plan to have a child, but she was still very happy to hear her aunt's words.

Mrs. Seaforth's smile faded after hearing this, and she advised earnestly, "I thought you and McQueen were really ready to be parents. If that's the idea, I advise you to think again."

"You can't control what you give birth to, let alone the child's personality. I have four children, and each of them has a different personality. My friend is the same. Her son's personality is more stable than Ryan's. She often complains to me that the child is very different from what she expected."

"Of course, this does not affect our love for them. Because we love the child, not the way he looks. I hope you and McQueen also decided to have children based on this."

Kane was touched and called out "Mom", then went over and hugged her.

McQueen and Jiang Linlin looked at each other, and Jiang Linlin said seriously: "Thank you for reminding me, sister. I have thought about it. McQueen has always liked children. He has been ready for a long time. I am the one who is not ready."

"I was afraid that having a child would affect my career and that I wouldn't be able to teach him well, but McQueen has given me a lot of confidence in the past few years. Wei'er probably played a role as a catalyst. If I really have a child, as long as he's not so ugly that I can't stand him and he's not a big devil, I'll like him."

Mrs. Seaforth was relieved and said with a smile, "What nonsense! You and McQueen are not ugly, how can you have an ugly baby? And with McQueen's temper, it's enough to have one troublemaker in the family, there won't be a second one."

"That's right! If he dares to do something wrong under my command, I won't be called Capet if I don't give him a beating!"

Xu Weiwei wanted to laugh when she saw her uncle's look, and silently lit a candle for her future brother in her heart, hoping that he would be a sensible one. A sister would be fine too, or even twins, so that there would be more choices and more tolerance.

"Sister Lin, what stage has the makeup done? The director asked me to come and check on the progress. There is less than half an hour left until dawn." The stagehand came to urge on the progress.

Jiang Linlin shouted, "Alright! Get out now!"

After saying that, Jiang Linlin took a big towel and wrapped it around Xu Weiwei. "The sea water is a little cold this morning. Put it on and take it off when we start the performance."

"Well, thank you, aunt."

Xu Weiwei is very small, wrapped in a big pure white towel, and with this makeup, when she looks into your eyes and talks to you, you always feel that you are her whole world.

Jiang Linlin was beautiful again. She picked her up and announced domineeringly: "Don't call me aunt, just call me mom! Today, you are my daughter! Call me now and let me hear it~"

Xu Weiwei felt that her aunt was a little too crazy today, and looked to her mother for help. Unexpectedly, her mother gestured to her in an indulgent manner, "It's okay."

Xu Weiwei had no choice but to endure the awkwardness and shouted to Jiang Linlin, "Mom."

After shouting, she covered her face with her hands in shame.

"Hmm~~~ So it feels like having a daughter! Ahhhhh! Don't be shy, baby, you'll get used to it if you scream a few times. But you have to play the role of my daughter today, so you must adapt to it." Jiang Linlin coaxed Xu Weiwei without blushing or beating her heart.

Xu Weiwei put her hands down and tilted her head in confusion, "There doesn't seem to be a place in the script where I need to call her 'Mom'. When Merulu and Eve separated, they couldn't speak yet. When they met again five years later, Merulu didn't call her 'Mom' either."

Jiang Linlin: “…” What should I do if my niece is too smart? How can I fool her?

The sky outside was just beginning to brighten and the sun had already half appeared above the sea level.

The lake was casting a fish-scale-like light. All the long guns and short guns were ready, those on the ground and those flying in the sky, all kinds of equipment were aimed at one direction.

There, a platinum-colored mermaid was standing there, half of her body immersed in the water, her scales faintly visible in the water.

Xu Weiwei understood that the other person should be the little mermaid actor that the crew had found earlier.

Even though she knew that the decision to replace him was made by the director, Xu Weiwei still felt a little guilty, as if she had taken away the other person's job.

The mermaid also spotted Xu Weiwei in the crowd and opened her eyes wide in surprise, as if she was shocked at how the two looked so similar. The staff nearby saw that his attention was drawn and was afraid that he would move around, so they quickly called out to remind him.

Xu Weiwei also took the opportunity to look away, not daring to look at the other person.

"Aunt, didn't anyone tell him that the crew is planning to replace someone?" Xu Weiwei asked in a low voice next to Jiang Linlin's ear.

Jiang Linlin was confused about the situation, so she randomly asked a staff member, "Does he have any scenes today? Does the director plan to record two takes?"

The staff member explained: "Oh, no, just use his lower body."

Xu Weiwei couldn't believe her ears: "Lower body???"

"Yes, beautiful girl, the director plans to use his lower body and your upper body, and then synthesize his tail onto your body. It will look like you have the same body as your own, and it will be much more realistic than a fake tail~"

It's still possible... Does that mean the other party didn't lose his job because of her? Xu Weiwei felt a little less guilty.

The little mermaid's work is completed quickly. She only needs to stand at a fixed point and do nothing else. The whole process takes less than five minutes.

When the little mermaid and his mother were told that the mission for the day was over, his work was done, and he didn't need to come again, they couldn't believe it. After repeated confirmation, the little mermaid jumped out of the water excitedly, dived back into the water, and swam around like a fish.

Suddenly, he remembered Xu Weiwei whom he had just seen, and believed in his heart that the other party was here to accept the "torture" on his behalf. He could not help but emerge from the water and give her a sympathetic look.

"Um... do we have any money left?" the mermaid mother asked timidly.

She knew that her child's performance did not meet the other party's requirements, and today they were asked to leave directly. She thought that the other party had finally given up and they would not get the money.

"Of course, it's still the price we agreed on before, not a penny less. It should be credited to your account within three days, so please keep an eye on it then." said the stage manager.

"Oh! My God!" The mermaid mother covered her mouth in surprise and thanked him happily repeatedly.

"Then shall we leave?"

"Well, let's go. This place is a bit far, how can you ..."

The attendant looked up and saw that the mother and son had swam ten meters away.

Stagehand: ...I forgot what these two are for.
