Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 237 Invitation Successful

"Hypocritical?"

"It's OK, quite sincere. Am I hypocritical?"

"No, I'm very kind!"

McQueen: "...That's enough for you two!"

The group came to a sashimi shop run by a mermaid and ordered a large sashimi platter, fish salad, and various raw pickles, which were so delicious that they made people's mouths water. Fearing that Xu Weiwei would feel uncomfortable if she ate too much raw food, Mrs. Seaforth also ordered some cooked food for her.

There are mermaids swimming around in the water nearby, with graceful figures, which are very ornamental.

After three rounds of tea and five flavors of rice, Jiang Linlin kept thinking about what she had discussed with the director. Now it was time to ask. But she didn't ask Xu Weiwei directly, but spoke to Mrs. Seaforth:

"Sister, I have something to discuss with you and your husband."

"What's the matter? Tell me." Mrs. Seaforth put down her chopsticks.

"This morning, McQueen and I were video chatting, and Wei'er walked into the camera. The director happened to see her, and he wanted to invite Wei'er to play a cameo role." Jiang Linlin summarized it succinctly.

"Huh???" Xu Weiwei was very surprised.

Mr. and Mrs. Seaforth looked at each other, without expressing their opinions, and continued to listen to her.

"If it was any other unimportant supporting role, I would definitely not ask for this. But this role is a bit special. I have several scenes opposite her, and she plays my daughter."

Jiang Linlin sighed, "We had originally found a mermaid child, but the child couldn't adapt to the crew environment and couldn't get into the shooting state. The filming of this drama is about to be completed, but the shooting progress has been stuck here. The whole crew is very anxious."

"I was sitting next to the director's monitor when I was chatting with McQueen, and I didn't move when I talked to Wei'er. The director was very excited to see Wei'er, and felt that she was excellent in both appearance and personality, and would definitely be able to play this role."

"So you asked me to give you a heads up. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. I'm just a messenger. You don't have to worry about me."

Although they said so, the couple understood that since Linlin agreed to ask for this, she must have hoped that Wei'er could get through it. But they really didn't want their daughter to be in the public eye.

Mrs. Seaforth said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Linlin. We want Wei'er to live a normal and free life, so we have always avoided her appearing on the screen. Also, acting requires acting skills, which Wei'er has never experienced. I'm afraid she will be criticized."

Jiang Linlin had expected this, but after asking, she let it go. She smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm worried about this, too. It's okay if I don't go. The crew will always have a solution."

"Well, if you want to find other suitable child actors, I can help. Feel free to ask for other information as well."

"Well, thank you sister."

Xu Weiwei watched, and seeing that the adults had already come up with the result, she continued to eat with her head down. Just now, while her parents were not busy with her, she had secretly eaten several raw pickled shrimps.

She had no interest in acting. She had tried it before when she was taking the TCM practitioner certificate exam in her previous life, but she felt that the second practical test had used up all her acting skills. After the exam, she was emotionally exhausted and didn't want to talk anymore.

But if her aunt wanted her to help, she would agree, but her parents refused on her behalf, so she didn't have to go.

McQueen was anxious when he saw his wife gave up like that, because he knew how anxious she was because of the stuck scene. So he decided to help her. His wife started with the big things, and he would start with the small things.

After picking up a crab leg for Xu Weiwei, McQueen asked, "Would Wei'er like to try acting?"

Xu Weiwei stuffed food in her mouth, raised her eyes to observe her uncle's expression, and changed her tone: "No... hate it?"

McQueen gave her another crab leg and said, "Well, it's normal to be curious at your age. You should try everything to expand your life."

Xu Weiwei looked at her uncle in silence, pretending to be a life mentor. Mrs. Seaforth also glanced at him and immediately saw through his intentions.

A person's true intentions will definitely be exposed within three sentences, and the same is true for McQueen.

"I think we can let Wei'er join the crew. I've read Linlin's script. This role doesn't have many scenes. It's very relaxing. And the director wants to use Wei'er. He must have considered the acting problem and found a way to solve it."

"Is Wei'er, who is so smart, not as good as that timid mermaid?"

"McQueen," Jiang Linlin stopped him with a serious look.

Mrs. Seaforth said in a gentle tone, "Linlin, is this matter important to you?"

Jiang Linlin was a little embarrassed to say, "It's OK... The director is quite ambitious. He plans to use this film to open up the entire interstellar market outside the Imperial Capital Galaxy. If it succeeds, my career will also be able to take a step forward."

This film, featuring a mermaid as the main character, is the first film about an alien planet. Others in the industry are waiting to see how big a splash it can make. If it succeeds, it means this path is feasible and there is a huge untapped market waiting for them.

What Xu Weiwei understands is to break out of the Asian circle, enter Hollywood, and become famous all over the world.

Seeing his sister's expression wavering, McQueen tried harder.

"If we're worried about Wei'er becoming famous, we can use a pseudonym. We'll discuss it with the director in advance and sign a contract. We'll also wear makeup when we act. Once we dye our hair and wear colored contact lenses, we won't be able to recognize her at all!"

"You want to dye your hair?"

"There are disposable ones! Right, Linlin, they will fall off after you use a special shampoo!"

"Ah, yes, it won't be harmful."

Mrs. Seaforth looked at her nervous brother and sister-in-law, sighed, and then said to Xu Weiwei: "Weier, what do you think?"

"I'm willing to give it a try."

Her uncle and aunt were so good to her, and it was rare for her to be able to help them in any way she could, so she definitely felt obliged to do so.

"All right then," Mrs. Seaforth relented.

Jiang Linlin smiled happily, with excitement visible on her face. So did McQueen. The couple excitedly held each other's hands tightly.

"When are we going to see the director? I want to talk to him in person," said Mrs. Seaforth.

"Tomorrow! The director said that if Wei'er can come, we can bring her here when the work starts tomorrow. But the time will be a little early, we have to get up at five or six in the morning. If Wei'er can't get up, it doesn't matter if she comes later."

"I can do it." Xu Weiwei said firmly.

"Can we go over too? I want to see my sister act, and my aunt as well." Kane said with anticipation.

Jiang Linlin smiled, "Of course, if you can get up."

Finn clenched his fist: "If my sister can do it, so can I!"
